The Maze Runner movie ignored one significant part of Thomas’ story, but rather than hurting the film, it actually made the plot better. In 2014, Dylan O’Brien took on the role of Thomas in the cast of The Maze Runner movie adaptation, and its two consequent sequels. The film was based on a young adult sci-fi book by James Dashner. Like most YA stories of that time, The Maze Runner took place in a dystopic world full of hidden agendas and dangers. Yet, the movie wasn’t able to cover everything the book introduced, and it made the film better.
