It feels like an author came up with a fantastic book idea, finished it and realized they didn’t answer all of the questions. So they wrote more and more books but weren’t able to ever put of bow on it and tie all the loose ends up.

It also seems like they wanted to call thr evil corp wicked and had to think of words afterwards lol

It would’ve made more sense if instead of keeping the boys inside as test for the cure, they were keeping them inside to protect them because they were the cure. And instead of the infected being mindless, they were smart and trying to get the cure to destroy it.

Hunger games, divergent, and maze runner all coming out around the same time was peak cinema

Thank you, ended this series feeling competely confused and unsatisfied, this video cleared a lot up and helped me see my confusion was more on the book than me.

Great video very informative. This should have been on the top when I searched "maze runner explained " thank you for making it.

I just finished reading The Maze Runner: The Fever Code. The book was great and the ending was shocking. Your channel and this video deserves more views.

I’ve never read the books but I have seen all the movies. I really like the first one but I thought all the sequels were pretty mediocre and I wasn’t a fan of how the series ended

The books are 10 thousand times bette,lr, way more plot, and many HUGE things left out from the movies. The Scorch Trials movie is honestly really bad. It’s cool yes, but when you read the book, it’s completely different. The movies hit harder (at least for me) like when the person dies on the building in The Death Cure, like that shit fucked me even though I knew it would happen lol. But like I said there’s way more events in the book, more betrayal, new things like telepathy, it’s lit. You’ll love the series even more. Edit: Way more character depth and connections with one another imo - although the movies give you the sad visuals, it gives you the depth

dude unwind was rlly good i liked that series

I really needed someone to put into words my frustration with the series. Thank you.

Book three has the world best plot twist at the end Paige’s note is just crazy first the flare wasn’t a accident it was to kill of some of the population and that there were two people planted in the group to help them get to the safe zone and even now I am confused about that it’s Brenda and someone else it could be Jorge except what if it Terese was the other person I love this book.

I only saw the intro and I already know this video is going to be a banger

Reading this to my boys right now and it's definitely a page turner. Great for discussions, my sons 11 & 13 have a lot of questions, they're very engaged. I absolutely agree that character building is lacking. Orson Scott Card is my personal favorite author when it comes to making you actually CARE about the characters. Thanks for the detailed and informative review!

Yoo this video is stupiddd underated, thanks for the overview bro def subscribing

Ain’t gonna lie the kill order was one of the best books I read in the series. The ending made me so sad too

I mean the email that “Terrisa” sent in the epilogue of Fever Code could have been faked. Eva Paige already faked Thomas’s email prior in the book and it would make sense for her to to fake Terrisas email too. It’s possible that Terrisa really didn’t have her memories or at least not all of them during the trilogy and was betrayed by wicked like Thomas was. My personal headcannon is that she does not have her memories or at the very least, only has memories that wicked gave her

Thank you I'm a bit lost!

I enjoyed this my friend. Don't stop creating :)

I appreciate the work that went into this video, it helped me to reconcile my frustration with this series 😅

James Daschner wrote Teresa with his ex in mind

The Kill Order is sooo good, one of my favs in the whole series

the beginning of this video is crazy cause that's exactly what happened (i finished the series and was confused so i typed in "maze runner" into youtube looking for an explanation)

Couldn't get past them saying "clunk" constantly in the book (didn't watch the movie)

Great video! I also felt I was missing something but it appears I do not and it's just the story. I have a couple of thoughts on the story I'd like to share. First of all I also feel like the story was made up on the go. I also read the books twice. First the original trilogy and afterwards the prequel (where Thomas and Therese built the maze, can't remember the title) and then again the original trilogy, as I felt the prequel shared much game changing information. However, I was disappointed to not find anything clueing at what the prequel had shared and instead (I think) I found inconsistencies. As we know, the prequel drops that Therese still has her memory. This was revealed in a memo by Therese to the W.I.C.K.E.D. employees (I read the German version, not sure what the memos are called in English). In the end of the first book however, there is a memo from Ava Paige, telling her employees something like "do you remember what the girl put on her arm, before she lost her memory?". This is clearly hinting that Therese's memory was erased whatsoever. I am not sure if that was poorly translated and not an issue in the English version. I do not see why Paige would lie to her employees. So ???? Is this an inconsistency? Or is there any other explanation I cannot see? Next, in the prequel we also learn how Therese and Thomas learn about the Telepathy thing all by themselves. Therese first contacts Thomas and then continues to teach him. All of this is kept secret from W.I.C.K.E.D., even though Thomas suspects they know him and Therese are already using it. In the trilogy, Thomas (multiple times) remembers a teacher of W.I.C.K.E.D, teaching him how to use it. So again ???? Is his memory wrong here, or what is the idea here? Is he, in reality, remembering Therese teaching him? Finally, Thomas remembers how him, Therese, Rachel and Arris (that's how you spell him?) are about to be sent into the labyrinth. He remembers that they know their memory is about to be erased. But in the prequel we learn that Thomas thought (until the very last moment) that they are allowed to keep their memories and to spy for wicked. I do not see how this is supposed to work out. Please let me know what you think about these :)

I really really disliked the Maze Runner books. It was like Lost. The story is built on it's mysteries, and the narrative is engaging. However, the answers to the mysteries are a massive let down. For one thing the whole plot point of trying to put people through all these stressful situations, to get the cure for the virus, makes absolutely no scientific sense. That's just not how medicine works. Research is one of the most important parts of being a writer, and clearly James Dashner did almost no research. If you're going to write science fiction, maybe learn a little science. That's just one of my reasons for disliking this book. The answers to the questions just don't hold up.

It kinda bothered me too but that's where our suspension of disbelief is meant to come in across essentially any fictional work. Like mentioned above its up to us to fill in the gaps and I actually had a blast thinking about how this all fit together since i read the books over a decade ago in school. The conclusion I came to years before the movies is that the virus is not a normal virus, given its almost zombie like nature taking over the mind it makes sci-fi sense that something about a persons brain chemistry can make them immune, but the only way to fully study someones brain is to fully activate its various responces, hence the maze where presumably the subjects have implants monitioring their brain chemistry and activity. The whole "the cure is in the blood" part kinda contradicts this but i could go on a whole other tangent regarding that lol Bottom line some of us love it because its bad, because there is so many holes to be filled in and the only limitations are our own imaginations. Personally its one of if not the best looks into a zombie virus, its cause, its symptoms and potential cure all while giving us next to no answers and instead encouraging us to find our own.

I'm sorry you didnt feel for Newt ?! I fucking love Newt. I thiught that was the only character ter that were somewhat fleshed out and had interesting things about him, like his attempted suicide, nd his state of mind when he wrote the letter to Thomas to kill him. I bawled my eyes out when I read he was dead. The only death I care about hahaha
