In the Book: Teresa’s loyalty to WICKED is a hot point in the book - there’s no doubt about that. The entire story of capturing immunes is absent from the film. It’s also important to note that the Right Arm intends to sail a ship away to a safe place in the movie. In fact, Vince helps Thomas in his attempt to rescue Minho from the train. Thus, they’re present at the very beginning of ‘The Death Cure’ movie.
DOES THOMAS DIE IN THE DEATH CURE MOVIE
In the Movie: The Right Arm is introduced in ‘The Scorch Trials’ movie and plays a major role in the final fight scene with WCKD.
It’s revealed that their actual plan is to use their kidnapped immunes as a way to sneak into the WICKED headquarters and ultimately bring the organization down.
In the Book: The Right Arm is introduced almost midway through the story when they’re revealed to be kidnapping people immune to the Flare. The Right Arm is around from the very beginning. He shares his suspicion with Thomas that he must have been placed in the Glade as a control variable. However, Newt does realize that he isn’t immune about mid-way through the film - when he has the Flare. In the Movie: This scene never takes place. Janson goes on to explain that WICKED placed individuals who weren’t immune in the Glade as control variables for their experiment. It’s here where Thomas learns that Newt isn’t immune to the Flare. In the Book: Janson reveals from the beginning who is and isn’t immune. Janson doesn’t reveal who is and isn’t immune. In the Movie: This entire plot point is absent from the movie. She and Jorge break Thomas, Newt and Minho out before they receive the surgery. When Thomas is being led into the memory surgery, Brenda appears and reveals that she had been working for WICKED but was plotting against them. Thomas, Newt and Minho are suspicious of the offer and at first refuse. In the Book: At the beginning of the book, Janson tells the gladers that they’ll be getting their memories back. Their infiltration into the city - and the purpose of breaking into WCKD - is to save Minho, who is being experimented on by WCKD doctors. In the Movie: Rescuing Minho from WCKD is the story’s major plot point. He was never taken by WICKED like he is at the end of ‘The Scorch Trials’ movie. In the Book: Minho is with Thomas and his friends from the beginning. They ultimately manage to steal away an entire boxcar of children from WCKD but fail to rescue Minho. In the Movie: Thomas and his friends are on a mission to rescue Minho who is en route to the WCKD headquarters. He’s in solitary confinement for nearly a month before being reunited with the other gladers. The book opens with Thomas as a prisoner of WICKED. In the Book: It’s not in the book at all. Here are all the Death Cure movie differences!īOOK AND MOVIE SPOILERS BELOW! 1.
