I don't think I've heard the word "come on!" used as much in a movie. Halfway through I was already tired of it. The first movie was really entertaining at some parts but the sequels have some of the worst dialogue and acting (specifically the woman) ever put to film.
In the books the walls were described as high as a 200 story building. And not only they move "in-plain", as show in the movie, each wall has sectors that can shuffle vertically ie uppersection can slide down, mid section can fall, etc.
Add that to the fact that one maze literally spans for like one American state.
Imagine fricking climbing two empire state building (minimum) and then walking above these walls that moves traversing it from one side to the other... And then only to climb down again because the exits aren't in the edges but all are underground passages.
Divergent movies were about a Not-Harry Potter main character moving between various "houses" of "kids" and riding ziplines, because ziplines are super rebellious!
I remember watching this high as shit with a buddy and his girlfriend, who really wanted to see it. Even while baked I kept chuckling at how obvious, cliche, and predictable everything was. But I lost my shit when the cyberspider appeared and started chasing him. His gf kept shooting daggers at me while I was laughing throughout the scene.
So completely ridiculous and comically absurd. What a shit movie/series.
YA was only ever about profiting off the inherent rebellious nature of youth. To rope in a bunch of children and pander to their feelings of "I hate my parents, they won't let me do anything!" So you give them "heroes" who are rebelling against supposed oppression. The problem is when you can't make actual compelling villains. Which is what happened with almost all of the YA shit. The villains were cartoonishly evil

lmao
from the moment they can perceive other women, however fictional, girls will writhe in jealously
post his face now after he got crushed by a prop in the sequel
That's against the rules. Then they'd have to call it Wall Runner
>running on walls
You wouldn't last 10 minutes in the scarch
First movie is pretty tolerable for what it is, but man did I stop giving a shit 10 minutes into the sequel.

>the 2007-2017 young adult dystopian fiction era
glad it's gone

There was Neurodivergent where everybody but the main character is autistic.
Oh wait I forgot Ready Player One
the maze runner
hunger games
divergent
the fifth wave
the 100
the list goes on
>divergent
>the fifth wave
>the 100
have literally never even heard of those
you're not a 17 year old girl, that's why
Yes I am chud.
Divergent movies were about a Not-Harry Potter main character moving between various "houses" of "kids" and riding ziplines, because ziplines are super rebellious!
Also you get one personality trait.
There was the Divergent movies where they didn't even make the last one because people lost interest
Divergent was another.
The Giver was pretty good but that's probably because it wasn't chasing the Hunger Games.
Reminder that they cast a 16 year old as a love interest for a grown man in that movie.
Nice. I wish I was a homosexual actor.
yeah, some of the first books in those series are good but the sequels always devolve into misery porn

>Ready Player One
>The Darkest Minds

>Newt doesn't have his signature limp
Into the trash it goes
they should have cast this kid as spiderman before he wrecked his face
we have to build giant mazes full of horrible shit to scare the hell out of kids so we can study their brain to find the cure to a zombie virus
>Adults do strange and cruel seeming shit to kids and claim it's for a good cause.
Technically it was for a good cause, but it doesn't make the way they did it any less moronic
True but YA is supposed to be about stuff that relates to kids and you can mentally subtract 4 years to get the target audience's age.

I've only seen the scarch movie because CIA is in it
Then it wouldn't be called The Maze Runner but The Maze Climber.
