Top 10 Best Maze Runner Characters

Spoilers ahead, so beware.

Even in the very beginning, Newt was described as a very likable character. With his loyalty to Thomas and everything he's done to keep his friends safe, his death was heartbreaking. After suffering for what seems like months, he finally goes completely insane and is killed by his best friend, finally ending the pain.

In one of the chapters, it is revealed that Newt had tried to kill himself and ended up breaking his leg, along with many other injuries. He has been through a lot of bad things, none of which he deserved.

Newt was a kind, smart, and funny character. I did end up crying a lot when I saw the movie and read the books.

I love Minho. His sassiness is amazing. He was great from the start. He, Thomas, and Newt were amazing. You can see that Minho is a great survivor and thinks quite well to survive.

I was so happy when he survived (which I suspected). If Minho died, I would have bawled my eyes out. I think everyone would. He was so funny, and his jokes even in the book made me laugh. I like how he makes up vocabulary for swear words. It just makes his personality better.

Minho is a brave character. Did you know that Minho's actor was born on my birthday? The year is different, of course!

Minho and Newt have been friends for a long time, and seeing Newt dead must have been heartbreaking for Minho. He even put Newt's name on the stone wall at the end of The Death Cure.

Thomas is my favorite character in the Maze Runner series and one of my favorite characters of fiction, period. Why? Let's not forget how heroic this guy is. He's saved his friends on multiple occasions throughout the series. He's extremely intelligent, which helps him survive throughout his journey. He's a caring guy, and he's the most 'down to earth' there is. How could you not love him?

Thomas is the best character in the Maze Runner series. I like Minho and Newt too, but Thomas, in my opinion, is the best. Not just because he's the main character, but because he's strong, smart, and a survivor. Also, Thomas never gave up even though things got rough, and he's a leader. Minho and Newt followed him even though there was no reason to do so.

Chuck was amazing. He was such a sweet kid. He didn't deserve to die. You know when someone would die for you when they do die for you, which I think Thomas would have thought. Him and Thomas had such a close bond. The way Thomas and Chuck had a good bond made me cry when Chuck died. The poor kid.

Chuck was my favorite in the first book. Then I started to like Minho and Newt.

How Maze Runner should have ended: Newt and Chuck reach Paradise with Thomas and Minho.

Chuck is the only kid in the Glade, and he died because he saved Thomas from being shot by Gally. Chuck is great!

Not a lot of people care for Winston. He didn't talk that much in the books, but I like how they added some more lines in the movie, considering Thomas helped him in the book, unlike leaving some of the others.

I would have

rather Winston's death in the movies than in the book. It wouldn't fit well with the movie. I hated how Winston killed himself in the movies. That made me cry.

Winston is one of the most underrated characters, in my opinion. I don't fully understand why, but I immediately felt a connection to him in the movies. He was a slicer in the Glade, and I'm a vegetarian. It doesn't make sense, but I don't care.

Also, the way he died in the book was so interesting to me. And his movie death made me cry so badly.

Frypan was amazing! He was kind-hearted. Although he didn't get many lines in the movies, he had his fair share in the books. It was nice how he survived. We all need that one cook in our life to make our days better and brighter.

Frypan is a great cook! He has a warm heart of gold and brings a little magic to his food.

I love Gally. Most people would hate Gally due to the fact he killed Chuck, but in the books he explains that WICKED took him under control and made him do it. He wouldn't have done it if WICKED hadn't made him.

I would have probably said the same as Gally when Thomas took most of the surviving Gladers to escape. No one would like to leave their home. Especially if they have been there for three years. Memories are made, and no one likes to leave those memories behind, locked away in the past.

Gally has always been my favorite character since the first movie and book. I think he's a very brave and headstrong character, painted in a bad light at first. He deserves more recognition. I especially loved his redemption in The Death Cure. Gally is the best character, in my opinion.

Brenda was so much better than Teresa. I feel like if Brenda had switched places with Teresa, everyone would be happier. I don't want to make Teresa seem really bad, but Brenda was just better.

Even if she was bribed to go with Thomas and them, she ran trying to save Newt, although she was too late. You could see it in her eyes, the guilt. All the guilt she'd have to live with. Brenda was a much better character, and James Dashner made sure of it.

She is honestly the best. She was a girl who cared and was really determined. In the movie, I didn't imagine her looking like that, but she really cared for her friends and she had a lot of empathy.

Brenda reminds me when I need to shut up about The Maze Runner and when I could pile my feelings onto my friends. To conclude, Brenda is the best because she has a lot of empathy, she cares for her friends, and she is my role model.

Even though Aris wasn't in the maze with Thomas, I feel like if they were, they would probably have the same bond as Thomas and Chuck. Aris was amazing in how he was portrayed as one of those quiet kids that was brainy. The group needed those brains. Thomas and the others were a bit on the dumb side, unlike Aris. Aris knew where the line was and never crossed it.

Aris is my favorite character overall! I love him so much. It's really cool how he didn't even know Thomas, and he just showed him what he found!

Aris is cute in the third movie and I ship him with Sonya (Newt's little sister). Aris helped Thomas and his friends escape from Janson in the second movie.

Everyone is always hating on Teresa, but after all she has been through, we should not hate her for doing what she thought was right. She loved Thomas more than anything, even more than herself, as she proves when she sacrifices herself for him!

She is my favorite female character, and I definitely ship her and Thomas. I have never believed that Thomas loves Brenda. I think that it was just a way to mask his hurt over Teresa. But anyway, she just doesn't deserve the hate she gets.

Honestly, I hated her at first, but when her real goal came into view, she became my favorite female character. Brenda was like this holy character who never did anything wrong. Teresa, who did make mistakes and tried to fix them, had to die.

Brenda should have died. She is a pretty much useless character. Teresa wanted to find a cure, not kill the kids. I think Ava Paige and Teresa had the right goal but the wrong ways of achieving it.
