@superrob1500 <br /> I'll just simply answer your questions trying my best to mostly talk about the movies not the books. Probably you've already found your answers in the net but I like the series so maybe I'll help whomever.<br /> 1) What Thomas did and why was explained (soo quickly) in the end of Scorch Trials, when Mary told everyone that the last time she saw Thomas was when he gave her all the adressess and other things about WCKD and that he did it bc he told her he has enough of the ways WCKD deals with finding the cure<br /> To answer also the 2nd question, Mary also suggests that this is why WCKD threw Thomas into the maze, I figure the same and that they don't have to waste him via prison or murder bc he betrayed them. But to answer this question truthfuly i would give you a major spoiler from books where in is explained to the bone. [spoiler] that Teresa and Thomas created the whole Maze and they knew they will be the last to go there, it was planned all along that they will be the test subjects as well. [/spoiler]<br /> 3. I think so myself. Frankly, I just watched the movie and I cannot be more conflicted. after reading the series I hated WCKD but after watching the last movie ... They stand for the same way of saving people as the 90% of main characters after who I would stand for and root for in such movies. But simply, I just hated Teresa in both, movies and books, so I cannot root for WCKD xD<br /> 4. Lawrence was the guy without a nose. In the books, he was a Crank bully with maybe 3 others to "lead", he had one of the best scenes in the Scorch Trials. He made me fear the heck out of the Cranks not bc they are like zombies but they're "intelligently" mad and ruthless. In the movie he's plot (I figure) is only to literally take dwn WCKD so he brought the best guns t do it. He didn't plan much above the brute force. <br /> 5. It was hinted not explained exactly, as I recall in the movies. It was bc of the Maze experience that they could think of trying to do the serum. I think it was in other movies when Ava talked about the brains and the processess that happen in the brain which makes the best possibility of the cure. They couldn't tell before what really make an immune person so they had to gave the same experiences at the same level (amnesia - when you forget all your previous experiences) to figure out what exactly is making an immune person. At the end they were still thinking that all immune people after the horrible experiences could make a cure, but as well as in other things, nature is picky, like there are only carriers of diseases who will never get sick, here there are immunes who will never get sick and a kind of immune-carrier who can make others feel better. Imo ofc<br /> 6. If you're talking about Ava/Janson example it is simply that Ava was all about the cure, no price is too big, where Janson was all about power. He wanted to be immune and have the power to give immunity to people he chooses (who can give him the most). If you're talking about why Ava and Teresa had to have meetings with sponsors it's about the research. As they've said. They gave them time and resources but they didn't make anything resembling a cure, so they finally thought about investing in gathering the remains of the healthy people (which I think they should do at the beginning)<br /> 7. I hate her so I can get this wrong :D Before the Maze she was strongly with WCKD as is shown when she doesn't understand what Thomas did and why when WCKD took him from her, when he met her in some white room or sth. She forget everything but after they left the Maze she started to remember. Like she said, after seeing her mum she became strongly invested in helping others, that noone have to go through the same thing she did. And she "betrayed" them bc she knew there wasn't talking them down, and she wated the immunes from the maze so she couldn't simply walk away and leave them to their lives. She's similar to ava, she could risk everything for the cure, no matter the cost.

@kizz-n-tell well thank you for the insight good sir/ma'am guess I needed to pay a bit more attention but I still have some gripes with the writing in general. Guess you get what you pay for with these YA movies.
