Luckily, some of the survivors repel WCKD's forces, and Thomas begins to formulate a plan to save everyone in WCKD's capture and kill the leader of WCKD, Ava Paige. Bittersweet Ending: Teresa ends up betraying Thomas by calling WCKD to their location, resulting in Mary's death, Aris's, Minho's and many Immunes' captures, as well as the breaching of the Right Arm's safe place.His aforementioned actions from the book are changed from the delusional actions of someone going insane from The Flare virus, to a deliberate ploy to drug, capture and sell Immunes to WCKD. The film turns the character into Marcus, who the Gladers have been searching for in order to find The Right Arms base of operation, which he would know the location of as a former member of said organization. The Scorch Trials briefly featured a Crank nicknamed "Blondie", who appeared briefly to kidnap Thomas and Brenda forcing them to drink hallucinogenic-spiked drinks and party with him and two other Cranks.Here hes promoted to main antagonist status and spends most of the film pursuing the protagonists. "The Rat Man" only appeared in one chapter near the start of The Scorch Trials and didn't appear again until the next book - The Death Cure, where he became the Big Bad. In the film the Gladers themselves discover that theyre still with WCKD and escape from them by crossing the scorch, meaning that they are not on any trial. In the book after Janson revealed to The Gladers that they were still under WICKEDs control, the Gladers were made to cross the Scorch as part of a second trial their first trial being the Maze from the previous book. Given the film's Adaptation Distillation of the original book, The Scorch Trials part becomes this.This wasn't the case with the original novel, which was just called The Scorch Trials. The film doesn't feature any maze running, since the maze had been solved in the last film.His film portrayal seems to have crept in into James Dashner, however in The Fever Code, Jorge is retroactively described as looking old. Giancarlo Esposito was 56 at the time of filming. Thomas describes him as "young" in the book, so no older than 40. ![]() After the End: While it was first mentioned at the end of the first movie, here we actually get to see the shattered remains of civilization post-solar flare.In the film, she works for WICKED because she genuinely believes that they are capable of finding a cure for the Flare virus. In the book, she works for WICKED because they threatened to kill Thomas if she refused. In the book, he is far more morally ambiguous and treats Thomas merely as a pawn for his own ends. In the film, they are survivors of the Flare who happen to live near WCKD's headquarters. They are both agents of WICKED in the book, sent to take notes regarding the progress of the Scorch Trials. No such thing happens in the film and he is just a victim of WCKD as everyone else (except for Teresa). In the book, he is in full league with WICKED throughout the ordeal in the Scorch and assists Teresa in her plan to deceive Thomas. However, unlike in the book WCKD are no longer in their control of the Gladers who have already escaped from them and don't have the level of technology required to artificially make or manipulate a storm like their book counterparts had, making it unclear how apparently naturally occurring lightning is able to chase someone. The film keeps this scene, but only having Minho being the one struck and removing Thomass theorizing. Its implied, and outright speculated In-Universe by Thomas, that the lighting is being artificially created by WICKED. Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In The Scorch Trials while travelling across the scorch the Gladers are caught in the middle of a lightning storm, where the lightning appears to be actively chasing them, with several characters getting struck.Adaptation Distillation: Most of the second book is distilled to incorporate elements of the third book, The Death Cure. ![]() Adapted Out: The "Bulb Monsters" that appeared during the climax of The Scorch Trials, don't appear in this movie.Despite this movie being the film adaptation of the second book The Scorch Trials, the group is revealed to exist about a third of the way through the movie, and the plot then becomes about the protagonists finding and meeting up with them - which they do shortly before the climax. Adaptational Early Appearance: In the original book trilogy, the Right Arm, a resistant movement working against W.I.C.K.E.D, are introduced in the third book The Death Cure.Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials contains examples of: ![]() This film is followed by Maze Runner: The Death Cure.
