I love how Don and I both had the same reaction to Teresa’s death,I was genuinely so irritated by her by the end of the movie and it felt good watching her go🤣
@@lilywillyskz because she thought she could save the world, that she could save everyone. Then she realized that she was wrong, but, also, when Jason is saying that he Will select which people are going to be saved, that makes Teresa very irritated, because she wanted to save EVERYONE, so she decided to save Thomas, to don't allow Jason to use him. Then, when she helps Thomas to get in the plane, she didn't jump in, because she didn't want to live with all the others after doing what she did. Honestly, i feel bad for her, all of us can made mistakes... but the most important point, it's how we try to resolve them😢
19:42 it’s literally so sad cuz it’s a deleted scene but Newt tell Thomas that he jumped of the cliff in the maze and broke his leg(in other words he tried to kill himself)
DEVASTATING. it's so tragic. and in the books some of them (including her i think) got their memories back, so by the time she finally learned that newt was her brother, he was already dead.
I love and hate this movie. I knew that as soon as Newt hit the screen that he’d be my favorite, and upon seeing the first movie I read all the books before the second came out. I knew Newt would die but seeing it on screen always hurts no matter how much I watch it. “Please Tommy, please” will always hurt to hear😭
newt is the best character for sure, he's sweet and caring and fair and he's a great leader and friend. the books literally say that he's the glue that keeps them together. he is so important despite not being immune, so his death hits the hardest. after all they went through, the best character dies. it hurts so badly. and the fact that he wanted thomas to kill him.
I did the same thing as you! I read all of the books after the first movie came out, and devastated is an understatement when I read The Death Cure. I actually only watched the last movie for the first time a few days ago. I didn't think I'd ever watch it because I couldn't bare to experience Newt's death visualized. I'm glad I finally did, though. It's a great movie!
Some things they left out that I wish they would’ve added: Brenda and Jorge used to work for wicked, the Crank city, the infected people attempting to live as normal people inside the city walls, and just how unhinged Gallys friend had become. Also, something they changed, no clue why, but Brenda and Jorge were immune in the books.
I can't even lie, I do empathize with theresa. It obviously didn't work, but the whole time she really thought she was doing the right thing... not saying I would have done the same thing, but given her whole backstory, I do get where she's coming from. Also think about how guilty you'd feel, being immune while everyone around you gets turned or dies horribly.
she is a good character tbh, her ideals are basically about sacrificing a minority to find a cure for a majority which could be fucked up but also interesting
The actor who played Thomas actually broke his back doing a stunt in the opening scene and that halted production of the movie for ages. He recovered and came back filming 👊
fun fact: their names thomas, newt, teressa, gally, chuck, aris, etc... were not their original names. instead their names are nicknames referencing historical figures. thomas - thomas edison newt- isaac newton teressa- mother teressa gally- galileo chuck- charles darwin aris- aristotle they just dont remember their original names bc they were brainwashed and tortured to forget
Winston- Winston churchill Minho- named after the author's (James Dashner) son in law, but since it's set in the future, in this world there was a famous Minho Zart- Mozart Ben- possibly Benjamin Franklin Jeff- Thomas Jefferson George- George Washington Frypan- Siggy for Sigmund Freud is his "real" name Cliff- evidently someone famous with the name Cliff or Clifford in it Clint- probably Bill Clinton Harriet- Harriet Tubman Sonya- I'm not sure if she is specifically named after someone or perhaps like Minho where the person she's named after hasn't become famous yet.
@@AnakinRoguei’m pretty sure sonia is the name of a holocaust survivor. She was a young teen who blew up railroads and concentration camps as a form of resistance against the Nazis 🤓
Love the reaction! I think it's really sad to know that newt and sonya(the blonde girl) were siblings but never found out. Also Teresa could have jumped and but decided not to.
@jasmanjotrai1377 True, it might also be that, but in the scene, she had like this expression in her face of regret saying "I'm sorry," and that just gave me the vibes that she doesn't want to jump
She probably regreted ratting them out while her and Thomas were on the roof if she never ratted them out then newt would have been saved but so she probably killed herself bc of the regret
This movie was pushed back a while because Dylan got hurt at the beginning of the movie Something happened to his wire when he was supposed to jump from the car to the train, and he slammed into the windshield of the car and had to go to the hospital Broke a few bones in his face, I heard, but he doesn't really wanna talk about it

The action keeps you tense. 43:57 I hate her death, if you look closely, she could've jumped immediately after she threw Thomas because the berg was still close. 44:50 That's what I was thinking, don't look, jump!😢 10:39 If Frypan looked he wouldn't have flipped the car. 38:14 Yay! Teresa got the cure! Thomas should've made Newt chase him towards Brenda to get the cure faster. 40:41 I like how Janson walks through the smoke left by the gun.
About Teresa's death, I saw a comment saying she didn't jump on purpose. Like after everything she did and realised how much she messed up, she decided to let herself die. A cool theory imo
No because he could barley walk and Thomas had to like drag him/carry him, and if he chased Thomas while he was like officially a Crank it wouldn’t work.
Bro I just got done watching your scorch trials one and see you upped this one, gotta say these movies are actually so underrated in the dystopian franchise
Great reaction! 😊 This is my absolute favorite movie of the trilogy. Scary Fact: Dylan O'Brian(Thomas)was seriously injured while filming the opening sequence of this movie. Filming was delayed for about a year while he recovered. 8:54 - 10:01 When I first watched this movie, I thought for sure that Minho was put back in the maze. Then it became obvious that it was just a hallucination. Surprise!!! Gally's back! LOL! And I actually like him in this movie. Loved the little reunion between Thomas, Newt, Frypan, and Gally. The scene when Gally questions Teresa about where Minho is is one of my favorite scenes. Hated when I first saw that Newt was bitten. Even drugged up, I loved seeing Minho fighting back up until he was reunited with Thomas and Newt. Newt's death gets me every time. And it's even worse in the book. 😭 Teresa redeemed herself just a very tiny bit for me at the end. She died saving Thomas. Fun Fact: At the end when Thomas was reading the letter from Newt, Thomas Brodie-Sangster(Newt)stood off camera to read the letter for the voice-over. I very highly recommend the "Divergent" trilogy, and also "IT: Chapter 2". Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
(Before reading further, be warned there are some "Maze Runner" saga book spoilers. It's assumed you've seen all the films at this point.) I'm glad you liked the trilogy. I did, too. It's very good. The best post-apocalyptic trilogy. If you know your classics, the "Maze Runner" is a retelling of Theseus and the Minotaur, of course. I'm not alone in making this connection, but it's a surprisingly select club. That's rather sad. Naturally, Thomas is Theseus, the hero. The Glade and the Gladers are Athens and Athenian youth, respectively. The Grievers are the Minotaur, the monster that feeds on the Athenian youth who have been offered as sacrificial victims. The Minotaur is half man, half bull. The Grievers are half organic, half machine. The WCKD mechanism that's found in the crushed Griever is Ariadne's thread, the key out of the maze. WCKD is King Minos, which rather coincidentally sounds like Minho. The maze motif is repeated in the "Scorch Trials" and "Death Cure." The Glade's Athens is, however, more like "The Lord of the Flies" than classical Greece. Themes in that well-known classic include the tension between groupthink and individuality, between rational and emotional reactions, and between morality and immorality. Things which we do see play out in Thomas and the Gladers. Consider Alby's interactions with Thomas. He sees Thomas as different, curious. He seems to be warning Thomas not to be a nonconformist. Alby makes Thomas sign a contract of sorts with the Glade by having Thomas etch his name on the wall. The crossed-out names may represent prior non-conformists. When Thomas notices them, Alby says somewhat menacingly: "Those were dark days." George's name is highlighted for us. Later, Thomas finds George's partially buried remains. Interestingly, this dark place of death is where Ben attacks Thomas. In the second film, we discover George is Brenda's brother, and George looks like Thomas. So, was George a Thomas-like precursor in the Glade? Did George break the rules and did that lead to his death? Thomas is the archetypal tragic hero. Tragic heroes are characters of elevated stature, both in birth and morality. Like most heroes, he has above-average intelligence, which means he has situational awareness; he's determined, which means he is firmly set in opinion or purpose; and he has a loyal close friend who guides, advises and helps him as he faces his trials. In the films, Newt clearly fits the role as Thomas' helper, his Ariadne. The Theseus myth also emphasizes the power of love. Ariadne helps because she has fallen in love with Theseus. As a tragic hero, Thomas is subject to a collective fate, the will of the gods, if you will, which had precipitated the solar flares that scorched the Earth and indirectly brought about the Flare virus. A common attribute of the tragic hero is that he once held a lofty position from which he has now been cast down. Thomas' hamartia has visited his own individual fate upon himself which prompts his present adventure-journey. His moral choices while part of WCKD led him to immoral behavior, the torture and deaths of his friends. In this way, Thomas assumed the role of a god over the Gladers. That's hubris. Humans, even if they're heroes, have to be taught they are not a god. Thomas' eventual rebellion precipitated his downfall and the tragic course his subsequent life followed. Tragic heroes suffer, and so Thomas suffers. He suffers because of his lost status, he suffers because of his past actions, he suffers because he's lost his identity and been condemned to the trials, he suffers because he's been betrayed, and he suffers most because of the deaths of companions he lost along his adventure-journey. Although Thomas' flaw is great, he has our sympathy, and we pity him. Ultimately Thomas' suffering leads him to an epiphany at the end of the third film. By this time, Thomas has gained the strength to accept his destiny which he will meet even if it means his death. Tragic heroes almost always die. This is without doubt what the epilogue of the final film means. Thomas is going back to the WCKD world, and he is going to offer himself up as a cure even if it means his life. Unlike the books, film Thomas is not going to remain in the Safe Haven with Brenda to live happily ever after. Even though WCKD's HQ was destroyed along with the city, there were more than one WCKD lab and installation referenced in the films. It's a pity there wasn't a fourth film made where we would see our hero, Thomas, noble to the end, achieve his ultimate destiny and be reunited with Newt in the Elysian Fields. That would have made a very good trio into a great quartet. It seems incredible but heroic stories often follow the same basic pattern. In his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," Joseph Campbell, distilled the world's myths into a common structure which he called the monomyth or hero's journey. It's very concisely summarized as follows: A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man. That's the "Maze Runner" film saga in a nutshell. Very broadly, the films actually do follow the outline of the books but differ in detail markedly. Personally, I prefer the films to the books. It's a matter of taste, I suppose. The books are darker than the films. That doesn't mean I didn't like the books. They held my interest, and I look forward to reading "The Fever Code." People frequently complain because a film doesn't follow a book exactly. There are obvious reasons why this is rarely possible, and it's often not even desirable. Books and films are two different art forms. There are different creative impulses at work in each. People need to understand the "Maze Runner" books and films as depicting two separate universes which, although inhabited by the same people facing similar challenges, evolve differently. They are going to diverge, and vive la difference! If all is done well, and the films were done very well, it doubles the fun. There were a couple of striking differences between the books and the films that really stood out to me. Although book Thomas may be heroic, he's not a tragic hero like film Thomas, at least in my opinion. Book Thomas often thinks things like I didn't really know those Gladers so I wasn't affected when they died in that horrible manner. Cold and unfeeling, right? That's not film Thomas at all. Book and film Thomas are two different people. Also, unlike film Thomas, it's clear book Thomas hasn't been transformed in any substantial way by the end of his adventure-journey. There's no epiphany or moment of self-realization. He's merely completed his trek. He's had adventures along the way, experienced bad times and lost travelling companions, but it's all over now, and that's that. Time to settle down. Book Thomas is more like Odysseus come back to Ithaca to be with Brenda, his Penelope. In the first film, Thomas' dream-visions hint at his backstory and make his character ambiguous. Is Gally right about him? Then there is Theresa. In our hero's adventure-journey, Theresa clearly represents the monomyth's temptress who tries to derail him. Unlike Thomas, she completely breaks the Glade's paradigm. Her arrival is untimely, she's female, and she heralds the end of the Glade's supply lifeline. Totally inauspicious. Kaya Scodelario does a good job of making her character seem suspect from the get-go. There always seems to be a mistrust-invoking aura about her. There are interesting parallels between Theresa and Thomas. Both Theresa and Thomas are betrayers. Which one is evil depends on your answer to the films' theme: Does the end justify the means? They both want a cure for the Flare. However, Theresa/WCKD are ruthless in pursuit of a cure, willing to sacrifice however many young people it takes. Thomas, on the other hand, is completely altruistic. He will sacrifice himself but not others. How can you not but admire and love Thomas? One thing about the tragic hero motif is that those nearest and dearest to the hero often wind up either in some sort of deadly peril or just plain dead. Most often, it's dead. So, as you're watching the films you might ask yourself: Who's closest to Thomas? The Flare virus is the "Maze Runner" saga's MacGuffin. Therefore, you really shouldn't try to make too much out of it. The "Maze Runner" trials mean to precisely isolate and produce the curative enzyme so humanity can be saved even if it means killing the immunes. The WCKD agenda begs the question of does the end justify the means, a principle often associated with totalitarianism, which is the central theme of the "Maze Runner." The principle is part and parcel of consequentialism, a teleological theory that says whether an action is morally good or bad depends on its outcomes. The more good outcomes outnumber the bad, the better/more moral the action. Under this rubric if WCKD finds a cure, then WCKD is very good, indeed. To sum up, these are very good and quite entertaining films which touch upon deep waters. Well-acted and well-crafted, too. The production crew and the actors together created an excellent trilogy.
@@lil3bunnys136 I know, people have such short attention spans nowadays! That comment only begins a proper analysis of these films. I was limited to 1K in the comment. There's a lot more to these films than most people realize. That's why they're really not YA films, although YA can still enjoy them.
@@dburnerqcct8010 Actually, it's cut-and-paste from something even longer done a while ago! Didn't require any effort currently. If someone reads it, good for them. If not, why should I care? I know most people today have the attention span of a gnat. 😉
I literally cried on newts death😢😢 and first of all what they did to minho was PEAK bro and second of all the LETTER AT THE END OMFG GOT ME FEELING SAD😢😢
My thoughts on Teresa is that in the end The thoughts in her head at the end where this is my punishment for what i have done and i deserve it and i can see the place that the doubt came from even though i got mad at her she owned up to her mistakes
don’t get me wrong, i dislike teresa, but i think she just looked around instead of jumping on because she felt guilty/ashamed of seeing everyone she betrayed, and she felt like she didn’t deserve to be in a safe space with them
Great reactions Don! I am so glad you liked this trilogy. This movie, for me, was the most emotional and all the actors brought their best. I hope they make more. ✌️😎👍💕
2:06 that actually happened with dylan (thomas’s actor). while doing the stunt, he slipped, fell onto the tracks and got run over by the car 😭 he was fine tho, the movie release just delayed s few months.
@@JOKER-py9npyes, he wasnt fine at the time, obviously since he had fractures and probably slight brain damage, what i meant by fine was that he *physically* healed just fine. if i recall correctly, i didn’t mention how it affected his mental health. obviously there’ll be trauma, but im talking about physical injuries and healing.
@@ranniwolves sorry, i didnt search how long he was in hospital, i just assumed it was over like.. 10-11 months? because thats how long TDC was waited for due to his accident, so i assumed that was how long it took him to heal or shorter than that, seeing as there’d be prep before the actual release, which was 10-11 months late, as i said.
this was the movie were Dylan O'brien got hit by a moving car. this movie was delayed for like 2 years to have him recover and okay to continue the film and the producer refused to recast him in the last movie
To answer Don's question at around the 21:30 mark.. No. I would not care for humanity whatsoever. Atleast the humanity/society we live in, does not deserve to be saved in my honest opinion. We could live in perfect harmony and peace, not killing each other any opportunity we get. The humanity we are a part of is just pure chaos and has to be ended.

It's even funnier when you realise they weren't supposed to flip the car. It was a real accident, which is why the cam car keeps going
“Did i say Chunky?” CANCELED LMAOOOO
Anyone else notice that wickd already had the cure because they cured alby and thomas after being stung with the same infection that the cranks have?
But there's not enough supply i mean thomas is a cure but he will still run out
8 month old comment but the virus wicked use in the grievers is modified. They can cure it because they made it.
34:47 “he shot chunky” said w confidence
i WHEEZED when you realized you called Chuck chunky😭
This is by far my favorite movie.
I watched all your mazer runner videos in one sitting
i said the same things when i watched the film "pick up the gun" and "stop looking the building just jump on the thing" ect
YESSS YOU DID IT! RIP NEWT MY BBG 💔💔💔
(Before reading further, be warned there are some "Maze Runner" saga book spoilers. It's assumed you've seen all the films at this point.)
I'm glad you liked the trilogy. I did, too. It's very good. The best post-apocalyptic trilogy.
If you know your classics, the "Maze Runner" is a retelling of Theseus and the Minotaur, of course. I'm not alone in making this connection, but it's a surprisingly select club. That's rather sad. Naturally, Thomas is Theseus, the hero. The Glade and the Gladers are Athens and Athenian youth, respectively. The Grievers are the Minotaur, the monster that feeds on the Athenian youth who have been offered as sacrificial victims. The Minotaur is half man, half bull. The Grievers are half organic, half machine. The WCKD mechanism that's found in the crushed Griever is Ariadne's thread, the key out of the maze. WCKD is King Minos, which rather coincidentally sounds like Minho. The maze motif is repeated in the "Scorch Trials" and "Death Cure."
The Glade's Athens is, however, more like "The Lord of the Flies" than classical Greece. Themes in that well-known classic include the tension between groupthink and individuality, between rational and emotional reactions, and between morality and immorality. Things which we do see play out in Thomas and the Gladers. Consider Alby's interactions with Thomas. He sees Thomas as different, curious. He seems to be warning Thomas not to be a nonconformist. Alby makes Thomas sign a contract of sorts with the Glade by having Thomas etch his name on the wall. The crossed-out names may represent prior non-conformists. When Thomas notices them, Alby says somewhat menacingly: "Those were dark days." George's name is highlighted for us. Later, Thomas finds George's partially buried remains. Interestingly, this dark place of death is where Ben attacks Thomas. In the second film, we discover George is Brenda's brother, and George looks like Thomas. So, was George a Thomas-like precursor in the Glade? Did George break the rules and did that lead to his death?
Thomas is the archetypal tragic hero. Tragic heroes are characters of elevated stature, both in birth and morality. Like most heroes, he has above-average intelligence, which means he has situational awareness; he's determined, which means he is firmly set in opinion or purpose; and he has a loyal close friend who guides, advises and helps him as he faces his trials. In the films, Newt clearly fits the role as Thomas' helper, his Ariadne. The Theseus myth also emphasizes the power of love. Ariadne helps because she has fallen in love with Theseus.
As a tragic hero, Thomas is subject to a collective fate, the will of the gods, if you will, which had precipitated the solar flares that scorched the Earth and indirectly brought about the Flare virus. A common attribute of the tragic hero is that he once held a lofty position from which he has now been cast down. Thomas' hamartia has visited his own individual fate upon himself which prompts his present adventure-journey. His moral choices while part of WCKD led him to immoral behavior, the torture and deaths of his friends. In this way, Thomas assumed the role of a god over the Gladers. That's hubris. Humans, even if they're heroes, have to be taught they are not a god. Thomas' eventual rebellion precipitated his downfall and the tragic course his subsequent life followed.
Tragic heroes suffer, and so Thomas suffers. He suffers because of his lost status, he suffers because of his past actions, he suffers because he's lost his identity and been condemned to the trials, he suffers because he's been betrayed, and he suffers most because of the deaths of companions he lost along his adventure-journey. Although Thomas' flaw is great, he has our sympathy, and we pity him. Ultimately Thomas' suffering leads him to an epiphany at the end of the third film. By this time, Thomas has gained the strength to accept his destiny which he will meet even if it means his death. Tragic heroes almost always die. This is without doubt what the epilogue of the final film means. Thomas is going back to the WCKD world, and he is going to offer himself up as a cure even if it means his life. Unlike the books, film Thomas is not going to remain in the Safe Haven with Brenda to live happily ever after. Even though WCKD's HQ was destroyed along with the city, there were more than one WCKD lab and installation referenced in the films. It's a pity there wasn't a fourth film made where we would see our hero, Thomas, noble to the end, achieve his ultimate destiny and be reunited with Newt in the Elysian Fields. That would have made a very good trio into a great quartet.
It seems incredible but heroic stories often follow the same basic pattern. In his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," Joseph Campbell, distilled the world's myths into a common structure which he called the monomyth or hero's journey. It's very concisely summarized as follows: A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man. That's the "Maze Runner" film saga in a nutshell.
Very broadly, the films actually do follow the outline of the books but differ in detail markedly. Personally, I prefer the films to the books. It's a matter of taste, I suppose. The books are darker than the films. That doesn't mean I didn't like the books. They held my interest, and I look forward to reading "The Fever Code." People frequently complain because a film doesn't follow a book exactly. There are obvious reasons why this is rarely possible, and it's often not even desirable. Books and films are two different art forms. There are different creative impulses at work in each. People need to understand the "Maze Runner" books and films as depicting two separate universes which, although inhabited by the same people facing similar challenges, evolve differently. They are going to diverge, and vive la difference! If all is done well, and the films were done very well, it doubles the fun.
There were a couple of striking differences between the books and the films that really stood out to me. Although book Thomas may be heroic, he's not a tragic hero like film Thomas, at least in my opinion. Book Thomas often thinks things like I didn't really know those Gladers so I wasn't affected when they died in that horrible manner. Cold and unfeeling, right? That's not film Thomas at all. Book and film Thomas are two different people. Also, unlike film Thomas, it's clear book Thomas hasn't been transformed in any substantial way by the end of his adventure-journey. There's no epiphany or moment of self-realization. He's merely completed his trek. He's had adventures along the way, experienced bad times and lost travelling companions, but it's all over now, and that's that. Time to settle down. Book Thomas is more like Odysseus come back to Ithaca to be with Brenda, his Penelope.
In the first film, Thomas' dream-visions hint at his backstory and make his character ambiguous. Is Gally right about him? Then there is Theresa. In our hero's adventure-journey, Theresa clearly represents the monomyth's temptress who tries to derail him. Unlike Thomas, she completely breaks the Glade's paradigm. Her arrival is untimely, she's female, and she heralds the end of the Glade's supply lifeline. Totally inauspicious. Kaya Scodelario does a good job of making her character seem suspect from the get-go. There always seems to be a mistrust-invoking aura about her. There are interesting parallels between Theresa and Thomas. Both Theresa and Thomas are betrayers. Which one is evil depends on your answer to the films' theme: Does the end justify the means? They both want a cure for the Flare. However, Theresa/WCKD are ruthless in pursuit of a cure, willing to sacrifice however many young people it takes. Thomas, on the other hand, is completely altruistic. He will sacrifice himself but not others. How can you not but admire and love Thomas?
One thing about the tragic hero motif is that those nearest and dearest to the hero often wind up either in some sort of deadly peril or just plain dead. Most often, it's dead. So, as you're watching the films you might ask yourself: Who's closest to Thomas?
The Flare virus is the "Maze Runner" saga's MacGuffin. Therefore, you really shouldn't try to make too much out of it. The "Maze Runner" trials mean to precisely isolate and produce the curative enzyme so humanity can be saved even if it means killing the immunes.
The WCKD agenda begs the question of does the end justify the means, a principle often associated with totalitarianism, which is the central theme of the "Maze Runner." The principle is part and parcel of consequentialism, a teleological theory that says whether an action is morally good or bad depends on its outcomes. The more good outcomes outnumber the bad, the better/more moral the action. Under this rubric if WCKD finds a cure, then WCKD is very good, indeed.
To sum up, these are very good and quite entertaining films which touch upon deep waters. Well-acted and well-crafted, too. The production crew and the actors together created an excellent trilogy.
geez that took me like an hour to read
@@lil3bunnys136 I know, people have such short attention spans nowadays! That comment only begins a proper analysis of these films. I was limited to 1K in the comment. There's a lot more to these films than most people realize. That's why they're really not YA films, although YA can still enjoy them.
ngl nobody is reading that from start to finish. a whole 2 page essay for what
@@dburnerqcct8010 Actually, it's cut-and-paste from something even longer done a while ago! Didn't require any effort currently. If someone reads it, good for them. If not, why should I care? I know most people today have the attention span of a gnat. 😉
I find it so funny how every character was saying Minho a different way I actually was giggling at the way Teresa was saying minhoe.
This trilogy was so good🔥
I've always been so happy that Gally survived, Will poulter is awesome but Gally was such a good guy after alll
glad to see people enjoying my fav trilogy ❤
I literally cried on newts death😢😢 and first of all what they did to minho was PEAK bro and second of all the LETTER AT THE END OMFG GOT ME FEELING SAD😢😢
My thoughts on Teresa is that in the end The thoughts in her head at the end where this is my punishment for what i have done and i deserve it and i can see the place that the doubt came from even though i got mad at her she owned up to her mistakes
these are so fun to rewatch! love the commentary
don’t get me wrong, i dislike teresa, but i think she just looked around instead of jumping on because she felt guilty/ashamed of seeing everyone she betrayed, and she felt like she didn’t deserve to be in a safe space with them
4:11 "its my darling" got me laughing 💀
Great reactions Don! I am so glad you liked this trilogy. This movie, for me, was the most emotional and all the actors brought their best. I hope they make more. ✌️😎👍💕
I started crying when Newt's death scene came up, knowing what was ging to happen.
They Took Minho off, the train before Thomas could get him
this movie deserve more !!!!
Sheese, all dose episodes, crazy, it was crazy my mann
Clicked the video right away
same bruv
i feel so bad that when i watched this for the first time, i was glad teresa ended the way she did.
“Miho” 😭💀
guys they are making a 4th movie so newt might be back!!!!!
Wait are they actually? I had no idea bro I’m so excited
i dont usually cry or have much emotion with movies and things like that but when i saw Newt die, i actually felt a tear falling from my face.
Thomas' (dylan's) gun welding at the beginning screams american assassin.
“Chunky” 😭
20:16 "If she lets Miho" Miho? Blud said Miho twice, like... 😭😭
One of the best Trilogies of all time 100% , people can disagree but Its facts
2:06 that actually happened with dylan (thomas’s actor). while doing the stunt, he slipped, fell onto the tracks and got run over by the car 😭 he was fine tho, the movie release just delayed s few months.
i mean he wasnt "fine" he was in hospital and saw somewhere he got ptsd from it or something
He wasn’t “fine” btw he said this really affected his mental health and he’s never been the same since the accident
@@JOKER-py9npyes, he wasnt fine at the time, obviously since he had fractures and probably slight brain damage, what i meant by fine was that he *physically* healed just fine. if i recall correctly, i didn’t mention how it affected his mental health. obviously there’ll be trauma, but im talking about physical injuries and healing.
@@michaelvaleskiyou are still grossly misrepresenting the situation. it was not a few months, it was more than a year
@@ranniwolves sorry, i didnt search how long he was in hospital, i just assumed it was over like.. 10-11 months? because thats how long TDC was waited for due to his accident, so i assumed that was how long it took him to heal or shorter than that, seeing as there’d be prep before the actual release, which was 10-11 months late, as i said.
this was the movie were Dylan O'brien got hit by a moving car. this movie was delayed for like 2 years to have him recover and okay to continue the film and the producer refused to recast him in the last movie
NAH THE WAY YOU KEPT CALLING HIM CHUNKY 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀
You keep calling Chuck ‘Chunky’ 😭😂
To answer Don's question at around the 21:30 mark.. No. I would not care for humanity whatsoever. Atleast the humanity/society we live in, does not deserve to be saved in my honest opinion. We could live in perfect harmony and peace, not killing each other any opportunity we get. The humanity we are a part of is just pure chaos and has to be ended.
Loved the reaction 😂🤍
Chuck chuck!!! XD
dude i love ur reactions
started watching you today, love your reaction, bro be speaking straight facts bout Tereasa tho
