Maze Runner 4: The Kill Order: a prequel to the multi-million bestselling Maze Runner series

Product Information

Ever since the first Maze Runner movie premiered in 2014, that's basically all Dylan O'Brien's character has done. (It's in the name, after all.) But Maze Runner: The Death Cure, the latest installment in the popular books-turned-movies franchise, turns the young hero around and sends him straight to his enemies' doorstep. Like its predecessors, the movie is relentlessly ambitious, both in story and visuals, and while it's at times exhausting, it's a burst of undeniable fun that brings Hollywood's current Y.A. powerhouse to an end. A definitiveend, according to series screenwriter T.S. Nowlin, even with the changes made to the ending of the original trilogy. Rea, Steven (September 18, 2014).

Later, the supposedly dead scientists meet in a room. Paige notes that the experiment has been successful and the survivors are now entering Phase Two. The silver plate on which everything is handed to the absolutely special protagonist. Because Thomas is so special at fragging everything. He doesn't even need to try. Instead, when we need a proof of his awesomeness, the get the sudden impulses and urges that are never wrong, or if that fails, simply a quasi-recollection that saves the day. Which segues into my next frustration point:

The main character, Thomas, was annoying. Rather than allowing his readers to feel what Thomas feels, Dashner chooses to tell. We are told many times how "frustrated" and "confused" Thomas is, but we can't identify with him. Some of the supporting characters, such as Minho and Newt, could be interesting, but they remain secondary to Thomas. In addition, I was frustrated with the character Teresa. Teresa is the only female main character; instead of making her an intriguing, powerful female, she is christened with flimsy adjectives such as "very pretty" and "smart", becoming yet another 1-dimensional character. I realize that this is a plot-driven story and not a character-driven one, but I would hope that the characters would at least be appealing to the reader. A girl arrives in the elevator, with a note saying that she is the last one to enter the Glade; she recognizes Thomas, but he cannot remember her. Thomas, Minho, Frypan, Winston, and Zart enter the maze, locate the Griever corpse, and remove a beeping mechanical device from inside it. Gally claims that Thomas has jeopardized the fragile peace between the Gladers and the Grievers, and wants him punished. However, Newt, the group's second-in-command, instead designates Thomas as a Runner. Minho shows Thomas a model of the maze that is based on previous explorations. The maze's numbered sections open and close in a regular sequence and Thomas realizes that the device corresponds to a section of the maze.

the main character - Thomas - weren't such a Gary Stu and showed some character development and growth instead of conveniently "remembering" important information to advance the plot The Maze Runner” (2014): Directed by Wes Ball, this film introduces us to Thomas, the main protagonist who wakes up in a community of boys called the Glade. The Glade is surrounded by a massive maze inhabited by deadly creatures known as Grievers. As Thomas and his fellow Gladers try to unravel the secrets of the maze, they face various challenges and discover clues about their true purpose. A rescue team come crashing in a couple seconds later, killing all the scientists that were watching the Gladers, and taking them with them to another facility where they have dinner and go to sleep, sure that they are safe now.

The next morning, they find out that Alby, weighed down by the reality of the world they were trying to escape to, had burned all the Maps, effectively destroying any possibility of finding a clue. Or, he would have, had Minho and Newt not secured the Maps in the Weapons Room a couple hours earlier. Thomas then gets the idea to compare each Map to the Maps of other sections as opposed to other days, and, after copying a couple maps onto wax paper and layering them by day, they find that the first combination spells FLOATCAT. After a couple days of copying maps and layering them, they find that the complete code spelled out by the Maze is: "FLOAT CATCH BLEED DEATH STIFF PUSH".
