Thankyou for giving these movies a try! Really enjoyed your reactions to it. Have a nice sunday! Hugs from The Netherlands
A nice bit to note from behind the scenes is when Thomas is reading Newt's letter at the end, the actor who played Newt (Thomas) was sitting out of view reading it aloud and the actor playing Thomas (Dylan) didn't know he was going to do that so the reaction is 100% authentic
Ohh wow that's amazing. :D
Dude it’s crazy how quickly you get these videos out. The production of this movie got pushed back due to Dylan sustaining a serious injury leaving him with brain trauma and needing facial surgery during the filming of this movie. Insane that he was able to come back and finish the movie. Great reception as always dude
This was a great series of books and movies. I always love the part where Gally comes back- he and Brenda are some of my favorite characters!
If you go back and watch when they're in the tunnel and after the car gets overturned, Newt is cradling his arm. It's a small, subtle thing that I didn't notice until I was rewatching that scene again.
Always sob so much when Newt dies and again when Thomas is reading his letter 😭😭😭😭 Newt didn't deserve to die
Newts death in the book broke me completely. He was my favourite character and it was so heartwrenching in the books. He deserved so much better and, this may be controversial, but so did Theresa. She had good intentions and lots of people are too harsh on her
Teresa's methods are comparable with dr Mengele so yeah, she deserves all the hate she gets.
@@Iiva69 I don't like her at all but I don't think she deserved the ending she got. I think people are too harsh on her because we don't get to see things from her perspective. While she was definitely in the wrong she just wanted the cure to save people's lives. I understand her and if I was in her shoes, the lives of the few vs the lives of the many, I dont really know how I would feel. She saw how awful and painful it was for people who get the virus and she wanted to prevent that. In a way perhaps she believed what they were doing to the immune kids wasn't as bad as what the cranks were going through (I don't know that part for sure though, it's been years since I read the books so I can't remember as much). I've seen too many people call her evil and cruel but at her heart she wanted to help people even if she was doing it badly.
Also, about Mengele, I think it's overexaggerating to compare them. He was psychotic and antisemitic and one of the lowest forms of human. Yes, he was making scientific discoveries etc. that could help people like Teresa but he also believed the people he was working on should be eradicated and would kill people without remorse and treated his "test subjects" or however you would describe them inhumanely. Teresa did bad things with the experiments but she wasn't remorseless and didn't go out of her way to cause harm and pain.
@@grice478 it's always wrong. Who are you to decide? Honestly, the God complex on some.
@@Iiva69 this feels like a very shallow analysis of the problem. I won't fight you about whether it is right or wrong because there is no full definitive answer and I don't think it was right either but I don't see how it's a god complex. I doubt I could live with myself if I ever did the stuff she did but imagine how you would feel every time you saw a crank or watched someone you love get attack and suffer like that knowing you could have stopped it for good. While I don't think the cure is worth sacrificing anyone, it's not a god complex to see people suffering in the horrific way these people did and wanting to save them.
Janson had a god complex as he wanted to take the cure and only give it to people he determined worthy but just wanting to save and cure everyone isn't a god complex. Teresa was wrong and I disagree with her but she felt bad and sacrificed herself in the end because she at heart only wanted to help people even if she was so far off the mark with the way to do it.
@@grice478 finally someone said it
It’s such a sad ending, and I miss newt, but I think it made the movie what it was if I’m being honest, just like how the book is.
You should totally watch bloopers and deleted scenes for these movies.
I saw your video on the first maze runner 3 days ago and just had to rewatch the entire trilogy again. And I just watched the 3rd movie and this comes out. Thanks for watching one of my most fav movies.
I believe it's a commonly held belief amongst fans that Newt's death wasn't real. Not that he didn't really die, but since everyone liked him so much, the fandom just turned a blind eye to that plot point. Like it never happened, and they were able to cure him in the end.
This movie was amazing. Im glad they had. Agood ending rather than bad like most of movies like this. My favourite movie series for a reason.
Thomas couldn't lose, he had Alita: Battle Angel with him!
1:00 well that kinda happened on set lol. Dylan got injured pretty bad. Glad he wad ok.
God Newt's note at the end kills me every time. best character fr
So in love with your reaction, officially my favourite and closest to my own reaction I have seen so far.
I absolutely love the movies. However, the books are so much better, the first movie is fairly faithful to the books but the second and third have nothing in common. As heartbreaking as Newts death was here it was so much worse imo in the books so if you're a reader I highly recommend them to you (read the kill order first it's a prequel)
Newt's book death is my personal hell
Thanks for completing the trilogy!
The ironic thing is that Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) actually did miss the jump, was runover and almost killed. Oh, Thomas wasn't the cure the whole time, he only became the cure sometime after they escaped from Jansen's facility in the "Scorch Trials."
Brenda is Alita and i cant unsee it lol
Maze Runner trilogy for me was the second best trilogy ever!
Brenda and Thomas were great as a couple in the book
Newt's "flare-up" to Thomas over Theresa told us not only that Newt was infected but also indicated that Newt was jealous of Theresa. He needn't have been. However, the Flare allowed submerged emotions to bubble to the surface. Later, Newt ripping off his necklace containing his note to Thomas and angrily insisting Thomas take it also says something. Newt was keeping that note to Thomas next to his heart and Thomas must have it. Whether you want to consider the relationship Platonic or otherwise, that act is a species of consummation. Indeed, although I'm really not into Freudian symbolism, the knife struggle, it's not a fight, between Newt and Thomas could also be interpreted similarly.
Throughout the trilogy, it's pretty clear there is a very close bond between Thomas and Newt. Closer than between any of the other characters. Several scenes which were left out of the films underscore this relationship, and it's a pity, in retrospect, they were deleted. Where's the chemistry between Thomas and Theresa or between Thomas and Brenda? There is none. Oh, for sure, there's some sort of emotional attachment between Thomas and Theresa owing to their shared pre-Glade history, but don't mistake it for love. If there had been something between them pre-memory-wipe, it no longer exists. Would Theresa betray Thomas if she actually loved him? if Theresa was wedded to anything, it's WCKD. I've always wondered if Theresa didn't betray Thomas to WCKD initially, and history repeated itself. Brenda does seem to love Thomas, but Thomas regards her as a friend only.
The mythic elements on which the films are based actually call for Newt to be in love with Thomas. Newt is clearly Ariadne, Ariadne loved Theseus, and Theseus is Thomas. The two actors seem to have been aware of this aspect of the characters and portrayed them accordingly. I can only assume they wanted the audience to think Thomas and Newt were actually more than just good friends.
You start noticing this right away. For example, as Newt walks away after meeting Thomas for the first time, Thomas looks after him several times, and Newt seems to glance back towards Thomas himself. Alby even looks back to see what Thomas is looking at. When Thomas rashly runs into the maze the first time, who reaches out to stop him? It's Newt. There are many like cues in the films. After Newt's death, it's clear that Thomas is no longer the same person as he was. The pièce de résistance is Newt's love letter to Thomas.
The cranks are still alive. They loose the ability to speak after a few months of being infected. The virus does eventually kill them, but it takes a long time and it's extremely painful(the virus is brain eating)
Newt & Thomas deserved to be together 😔
The frick that’s gay
Great reaction! 😊
RIP Newt!!!! 😭 I haven't gotten that far yet, but I've heard that his death is much sadder in the book.
This movie is my favorite in the trilogy!
Fun, but Scary Fact: Dylan O'Brian(who plays Thomas) was seriously injured while filming the opening sequence of this movie. And filming was delayed until after he recovered.
And SURPRISE!!! Gally's back! I went from not liking him in the first movie to liking him in this one.
Loved the rescuing Minho scenes towards the end. And even though Teresa did betray the group in the previous movie, she slightly redeemed herself when she sacrificed herself to make sure that Thomas got to safety.
I always get a misty eyed during that last scene when Thomas reads the letter that Newt left for him.
Since you've already watched "The Hunger Games" and now "The Maze Runner", two other 'from book to movie adaptations' movie series' that I highly recommend are the "Twilight" series and "Divergent" trilogy.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
It's not necessary for Theresa to wear a mask because she's one of the immumes.
Was waiting for this video! I really enjoyed this trilogy🔥
Here endeth the third lesson of this amazing heroic trilogy. Although these films were adapted from a YA series of books, they are adult films, not YA, which probably explains the reaction of some viewers of that ilk. There is no female protagonist with associated love triangle etc. However, there is a love story, albeit one that's subtly understated. The films do homage to the books, but the universe of the films is not the same as the books. Thomas is very different in the films. You could describe the film trilogy as about selflessness and about a band of brothers, who follow the principle of "No man left behind." You could also say it's about life's stages with the first film being about childhood, the second about adolescence, and the third about adulthood. This only touches the surface, of course.
The films are deeply rooted in myth. The most obvious aspect being the ancient Greek myth of "Theseus and the Minotaur." Thomas is, naturally, both the hero Theseus and Daedalus, whereas Newt is Ariadne, and therein lies the trilogy's love story.
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 trilogy in a nutshell.
What's the "boon" in the trilogy? Obviously, it's Thomas himself or, more specifically, his blood. He can potentially save mankind. By the end of the third film, Thomas has come to accept this as his destiny which he will meet even if it means his death. Tragic heroes almost always die, and Thomas is a tragic hero. This is without doubt what the epilogue of the final film means. Thomas is going back to the Krank-world, and he is going to offer himself up as a cure even if it means his life is forfeit. Unlike the books, 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. Ask yourself, where was WCKD evacuating to in the third film?
The fact that the trilogy doesn't end with a conventional happy-ending like boy-gets-girl or vice-versa, if that's your preference, also sets it apart. Another reason these are adult films. Nevertheless, many people do crave happy-endings. Instead, the film ends on a hopeful note. Thomas is going back. He's not going to stay in the Safe Haven, which, if you think about it, is really a new Glade. He's going to venture out into the maze again, the krank-filled-world. He's going to try to save, in this case, not just Alby and Minho, but the world. It's an open question whether he'll succeed. We hope so, but we don't know. This time the maze might defeat him. The end of the trilogy brings us full-circle, and we're back at the beginning.
Thomas and Theresa are basically mirror images of one another. They're both betrayers, and they both want a cure, but they're complete opposites otherwise. The key difference being Thomas is selfless, whereas Theresa is self-centered. Theresa often refers to her own personal history to explain her actions. Thomas never does. To be fair, Thomas can't because his personal history has been erased, but, even so, we can see his altruism is innate. Personal history would have no bearing on his actions. These attributes primarily motivate their respective actions. We also see Jansen is a betrayer and was following his own agenda throughout the trilogy.
Hopefully, everyone realizes there's no way Thomas could ever kill Newt, even Flare Newt. The same is true for Newt, but not Flare-Newt, of course. In that gut-wrenching struggle, Thomas would defend himself, but always stop short of killing Newt. Inevitably, Flare-Newt would kill Thomas. To save Thomas, Newt kills himself, instead, and as the Bible says: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Whereas Thomas and Theresa were "oppositum ego," Thomas and Newt were "idem ego."
What effect did Newt's death have on Thomas? It's profound. Thomas is palpably different afterwards. He presents a diminished lifeforce and sadness. Not only did Newt die, but Thomas did, too. He will never again be the same person. Newt's death marks a turning point. From that time forward, Thomas will focus on being "the cure." He's not staying in the Safe Haven, he's leaving to save mankind. Thomas is determined to complete WCKD's mission, and we have yet another instance of immense tragic irony when Thomas, for a second time, offers himself to Ava Paige in lieu of the immunes. This time she accepts, and mankind might have been saved then and there, but Jansen, out of pure selfishness, kills her, and destroys the opportunity. The interplay between selflessness and selfishness is another aspect of the trilogy.
"Does the end justify the means" represents WCKD's agenda and is the central theme of the "Maze Runner" trilogy. It's a principle often associated with totalitarianism, and the phrase has its origin with Machiavelli, although the idea is much older. 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.
Therea/WCKD adhere to this end-means principle rigidly. This principle is, unfortunately, a too common belief today. It allows people to believe their actions are justified regardless of how they go about achieving their desired end result. It potentially allows for all sorts of aberrant behaviors. A rather trivial example of this is the following scenario: My end is to get a certain work promotion. To get it, I work to sabotage all the other candidates. Hopefully, we agree that's not a nice way to behave. This is essentially the viewpoint of WCKD and Theresa, although they are dealing with an end of much greater significance. WCKD and Theresa are totally ruthless in their pursuit of a cure.
Thomas, on the other hand, believes that the means are just as important, or, maybe, even more important, than the end. His viewpoint is if the means are morally objectionable in themselves, then this outweighs any potential benefit from the end. In other words, the "how" is just as important as the "why." Thomas, just like WCKD, wants to find a cure to the Flare, he's only opposed to how WCKD tries to do it. Thomas is willing to sacrifice himself to obtain a cure and save humanity. He's not willing, however, to sacrifice the unwilling.
Theresa's/WCKD's morality is relativistic and man-centric, whereas Thomas' morality is based on absolute principles and God-centric. Even so, the trilogy challenges both WCKD's and Thomas' perspective, and makes us wonder which one is "right." I'm reminded of Pilate when he said: "What is truth?" We have man's truth, and we have God's Truth.
Some miscellaneous observations:
Cranks/Kranks. Krank is German for sick, diseased, unwell etc. The English word also has that connotation if you think about it.
The purpose of the VR torture/stress isn't to increase heartrate but to alter brain engrams/chemistry. The increased heartrate is only a side-effect.
Newt was probably injected with Flare at Jansen's facility. Recall the giant hypo? He was injected in that arm. The mystery is why it took so long to manifest itself. Different people may react differently.
Thomas was shot in what looks to be the exact same spot as Ben was stung. By the way, under the circumstances, Thomas would have died from that gunshot wound. The only gripe I have about the films, and it's not really that big a gripe, is that Thomas should have died at the end of the third film. Tragic heroes almost always die, and since there weren't any more films, his arc was incomplete or left to the imagination.
Why was Theresa put into the maze? She was always meant to coax Thomas back to WCKD, should he survive, as befits her role as "temptress."
Why was Thomas put into the maze? Well, for betraying WCKD, but also to serve as an experimental catalyst to complete the Trial. He was the best and brightest of the immunes. A real genius, actually. His selflessness makes him act impulsively, and he can seem foolhardy as a result. He was Daedalus, the maze-maker etc., after all.
Why do Thomas and, apparently, Theresa remember bits of their past, whereas the others don't? That must be by WCKD's design. Perhaps it's part of the coaxing back plan? WCKD always seems to want Thomas back after he escapes the maze.
Why does Ben not seem to remember being stung or, presumably, the Griever? We know WCKD can wipe memories. Perhaps WCKD wanted stung boys to return to the Glade sometimes to create the situation he did. So, they'd wipe the memory of the sting/Griever. The Ben episode certainly created a lot of stress/terror for the Gladers, which was part of what the experiment was about.
Why does the mob destroy the city? It's part and parcel of the madness of mobs!!
Finally, what a fantastic trilogy "Maze Runner" is, especially when you consider all three films only cost $157 million. The average cost for a major Hollywood movie is $100 million. You'd never know it watching these three movies that they were done on the cheap. They come across as much more expensive productions. Hats off to the actors for their incredible performances and the director, crew and SFX folks, too. Job very well done.
Hey bud hope you're having a great weekend! ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks! You too!
NEWT&THOMAS💔
always stoked for these reactions
Yeaaah i like brenda and thomas hahaha
I dislocated my arm going down i waterside so i felt his caution
Oh my god 😱 I'm so early.
Edit: the reaction was so good. I loved it and I'm glad you enjoyed the movie
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
At least they made Walter Goggins better looking in this film
i just love you bro
"Come back to me" girl 🙄
I wish they had a froth movie
also a tv series
Do a reaction to the trailer Sisu its like John wick looks awesome
You should watch the Planet of The Apes trilogy next if you havent seen them yet!!!
I've put it on a few polls, but it hasn't won yet. I do hope to do those in the near future. :)
@@NewfieMovieReactions I can't wait till those eventually win!! One of my favorite trilogies ever!! I just discovered your channel a couple days ago and I've already watched all the jurassic world, maze runner, harry potter, and now I'm watching your dc movie reactions!! Keep it up, man!!
I ship Newt and Thomas waaay more, however, just like you I was rooting the whole time for Brenda instead of Teresa, she was a ride or die kind of friend, clearly she has feelings for him, and she always showed up to save them when they needed her.
He might need time to move on from all what's happened because he really loved Teresa but his endgame is Brenda.
That’s gay🤮
I agree with you about Thomas and Teresa, but I honestly think Thomas and Brenda are better off as friends. Thomas and NEWT on the other hand...
Omg same I just will never forgive Teresa, Brenda for the win!!
🤍
This is the first reaction I come across where no one cheers for Teresa’s death, where people show actually sympathy when Janson smashes her head against the table. I know after the second movie people have divided opinions about Teresa, still she is my fav character and I’m so crushed by her death every time I’d like to see people’s reactions without to feel anxious 😞
if you can’t handle someone criticizing a character that does objectively horrible, despicable, and selfish things, idk what to tell you
If a woman in an post-apocalyptic world comes begging for help out of no-where, you know there are men behind here waiting..
A woman would not last long on her own in a world like that, not long at all.
"Beautiful skyscrapers" - Only an American would find a skyscraper beautiful, when most of the world find them hideous.:P
Movie: 1.1/10, like the hunger games it's just a bit too childish, fake and sugar-y.
what a weird and misogynistic comment
