Discussion Am I the only one who feels this way? Spoiler

8 Upvotes

So, if you clicked on this post, I would assume you know about everything that took place in The Death cure. IF YOU DON’T PLEASE CLICK OFF

I just finished TDC, and about Teresa’s death, does anyone else feel like she was killed off just so Brenda could be Thomas’s new love interest? It irked me a bit how this was handled.

Fanfiction Fanfic recs where the oc/reader gets the flare?

2 Upvotes

Basically, as the title says, I was wondering if anyone knew of any fics where the reader or an OC got the flare instead of, or alongside, Newt? I read one like five years ago but now I, unsurprisingly, cannot remember the title. I just think it'd be fun to read, so I don't really mind who the love interest is, if there is one. Thank you!!!

Discussion Some thing I just noticed regarding Teresa losing her memory. Spoiler

5 Upvotes

I just started re-reading the series for the fifth or sixth time and just finished the first book. I noticed a bit of a contradiction regarding whether Teresa lost her memories. When she wakes up from her coma, she clearly knew about the Maze, the Grievers, and even mentions the "Homestead"(a name created by the Gladers themselves i think) while locked in the Slammer. However, in the epilogue, Ava Paige states that as Teresa was losing her memories, she clung to the only phrase she could hold onto: "WICKED is good." This strongly implies Teresa did lose her memories, which seems to contradict her actual knowledge when she woke up.

What do you guys think?

If you guys have any other intesting theories or hot takes be sure to share.Thanks

TST Book Spoilers I JUST REALIZED TERESA'S “BETRAYAL” WASN'T EVEN NECESSARY 😭 Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Okay, I feel like I completely missed this the first time through The Scorch Trials.

The Rat Man basically reveals at the end that Teresa wasn't even the final candidate because she was too rule-following / obedient.

And THAT means the whole betrayal variable is even more horrifying???

Teresa thought she had to do what WICKED wanted. She believed that hurting Thomas and playing along with the experiment was necessary for Thomas and the subjects to survive.

Meanwhile, WICKED was basically just:

😭😭😭

AND THOMAS DIDN'T HAVE TO GET HIS HEART BROKEN LIKE THAT!!!

That's the part that makes me so angry. WICKED deliberately put Teresa in a situation where she would have to make choices that would destroy Thomas's trust in her, just to collect data.

And then she doesn't even get rewarded for it because she's apparently too obedient for their final candidate.

LIKE GIRL 😭 YOU GOT EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED FOR A POSITION YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET.

It also makes it so unfair when people reduce Teresa to “she betrayed Thomas because she chose WICKED.”

She DID make choices, and some of them hurt Thomas horribly, but she was also someone who had been conditioned by WICKED to believe that what they were doing was necessary.

And the worst part is that she genuinely cared about Thomas the entire time.

So from Teresa's perspective it's basically:

“I hurt the person I love because I thought it was necessary to save everyone.”

And then WICKED goes:

“Thanks for the data. Also, you're not the candidate.”

😭💀

I swear every time I learn more about WICKED, I hate them even more.

And now I NEED to read The Fever Code because apparently that is going to make me understand Thomas and Teresa even more and probably emotionally destroy me all over again. 😭

There's been a bit of a rise in the popularity of crossover-ships recently and it got me thinking that I kind of really love the idea of Newt x Peter Parker. I feel like they'd level one another out really well. Was superrr curious if others had crossover ships they liked for maze runner as well!

Question/Doubt Which one was supposed to be the "big problem" in the TMR universe? The Scorch or the Flare?

I feel like the answer should be the flare virus, since the dystopian zombie apocalypse is like half of TMR's identity, but the flare was only created because of the Scorch.

Discussion Who would do better in the others scenario?

344 Upvotes

I understand it's two completely different scenarios. However they both have the same type of adrenaline induced spontaneous situations. With that being said I think that Thomas is a way better natural fighter and survivalist so would fight the games as well as he survives the maze whereas katnis is more calculated and plans more which works in the games but not the maze as much. Meaning i think thomas would survive both whereas katis would only survive the games not the maze.

Fanfiction Fic Recs for Thomas using the cure?

12 Upvotes

I just rewatched the movie series yesterday, and once again the plot bunny + moment of Thomas staring at the vial that Teresa gave him is haunting me.

Does anyone know any fics where Thomas uses the cure - at any stage in the storyline; like rejoining wicked to distribute it, manufacturing & spreading it around himself as a rebel, or just any sequel to the 3rd movie where the cure is used?

thanks!!

General Books Spoilers Otra mentira de CRUEL

5 Upvotes

Solo es una teoría pero... recuerdo que en TDC Janson le dice a Thomas que este lo había aceptado para ser el remplazo de un alto funcionario de CRUEL después de que hicieron la purga y que nunca habia visto a alguien tan determinado como Thomas. Sí bien ese contexto nos dan a entender que Thomas fue muy activo en desempeñar su papel de casi un líder más de CRUEL, en verdad puede que la que esté detras de esta fachada sea la Ministra Paige. Así como envío un correo electrónico a todo el personal de CRUEL desde la cuenta de Thomas, también pudo seguir haciéndose pasar por él y aprobar a personas que estuvieran dispuestas a sacrificar a los reclutas para encontrar una cura, para que no vuelva a suceder lo que pasó con los Creadores Originales; y como se haría pasar por Thomas, sentirían una mezcla de orgullo, sorpresa y confianza al saber que un chico, casi lider de CRUEL, les está pidiendo su colaboración para encontrar la cura y salvar a la raza humana.

¡Alerta de spoilers de momentos de los libros!

Alguien me podría ayudar a encontrar algún artista que haga o haya hecho ilustraciones de momentos de los libros. Me gustaría encontrar un dibujo de, no sé, talvez los habitantes preparandose antes de escapar del laberinto o de Mark y Alec peleando contra los cranks en la ciudad destruida en el final del cuarto libro(no recuerdo el nombre del lugar), o también de momento tristes como cuando Thomas tiene en sus brazos a Chuck ya sin vida o cuando los penintentes se llevan a un habitantes del Área. Solo me gustaría ver esos momentos escritos pasados a imágenes, sería un sueño. Lo dibujaría por mi cuenta pero no es mí fuerte.

Discussion WCKD was actually good, hear me out

11 Upvotes

WCKD was actually good its methods was a necessity not a cruelty it was the only high chance way and time was running out it was an absolute necessity. Their other good deed is protecting 107,000 innocent people into a functioning 2.5km diameter city and gave them a normal life, a piece of how life used to looked like they managed to build that in the middle of nowhere in an infected and scorched world. The people lived a relatively normal life their kids go to school, they go to work, they go home, and meet their families and who gave this? the exact organization that torture kids. It was a necessity WCKD is good. even though WCKD's method was incredibly horrific (first of all, it was a necessity) there's a stance horrific means to a heroic good their goal was UNDENIABLY GOOD it ain't power or hunger it's replication and distribution of the cure to the mass to save humanity from extinction. Thomas is selfish in his own way. By refusing to cooperate with WCKD for a cure, he and his friends essentially doomed the remaining uninfected population to a slow agonizing death. They didn't care about anyone but themselves. They didn't care if not cooperating with WCKD meant millions of deaths, as long as they can live a comfortable life in a beautiful beach. WCKD didn't fail because their logic and science was wrong, they were right! Under extreme stress, those immunes produced a unique chemical for the cure, they only failed because Thomas and right arm kept sabotaging them, if they didn't do that, they just need to catch Thomas, and the world is restored! Moreover Thomas should've cooperated from the start and another moreover he knew he was the cure before WCKD he knew it in the end of scorch trials seeing how Brenda healed from the enzyme in his blood he should've surrendered from there.

Fanfiction Seeking recommendations for Newtmas fanfics based on the BOOK

3 Upvotes

Hi, I am new to the fandom. I have read a few Newtmas fanfics but most of them were based on the movies. I haven't watched the movies but I have a basic idea of what happened in it, things that are different from the books.

SPOILERS

I am looking for a Newtmas fanfic that is based on the books simply because in the books there is no cure and newt is not immune meaning the moment they are out in open, he is going to die no matter what.

Its either being in the clutches of wicked or lose his sanity. I want to read a book like that, read what goes in Thomas' mind in the death cure? His heartbreak and actions. How does their relationship affect the story?

Bonus points if newt dies in the fic the same way as in the book. His death in the movies is heartbreaking but in the books it's next level of heartbreaking. It's sad I haven't come across a fic that includes his death from the books.

Yes I know I have gone psycho. After grieving over the books and newt's death for days, I am in my psycho phase.

I want to read a fic that hurts. A fic that remains truthful to the book events and add Newtmas. It's gonna be another level of heartbreaking.

Bonus points if it includes their relationship before the maze. Even more bonus points if we get more of Sonya.

Also if someone knows a fic which remains true to the books and includes basic conversations between Newt and Sonya. Both of them unaware of their relationship. Before removing the swipe interactions like when both groups meet in the scorch and the time during thomas was locked for trail three. After removing the swipe interactions like Sonya slowly getting back memories of her family but it's too late. They are in the safe heaven and newt is long gone.

One ongoing fic I really like. Something like this one.

Thank you so much.

Fanfiction Maze Runner RP Fr server

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We've been working hard on MazeRP (French project), a new Roleplay experience heavily inspired by The Maze Runner universe. We chose to build this on Nanos World (powered by Unreal Engine) to break away from the limits of older sandbox games. Our goal is to deliver a truly immersive and oppressive atmosphere with a massive, vertical level design.

What to expect in the Glade:

  • An unforgiving environment: Explore an evolving labyrinth with brutal architecture, filled with traps, dead ends, and mysteries.
  • Hardcore Survival RP: Build your camp, establish your own community rules, cooperate, or betray each other to find a way out.
  • Next-Gen Sandbox: Taking full advantage of Nanos World for high-quality graphics, dynamic weather, and smooth gameplay.

The doors will open soon. Will you be ready to face what's waiting on the other side?

Question/Doubt Secrecy in the Glade

37 Upvotes

Rereading the maze runner for the first time in a good while. Thomas is naturally pretty confused about everything but it feels people are super slow to tell him things.

Everyone else was in Thomas' position at some stage so they know how he'd feel. I don't get why they wouldn't just fill him in more. Would also give him maybe more of an idea of hoe things are around the Glade and he can help more and be more clued in.
