@@inevitable48 What really sucks is that the Cranks were not zombies in the books. Instead they were people that were slowly, but inevitably losing their minds.
I read the books weeks before I saw the movie. The entire time I was expecting some weird grim reaper thing (don’t ask how I came up with that). This is way better than my unexplainable concept.
This is a great representation of the book. I re-read it because I found it somewhere. The Griever is a nice size because in the book it states it was about the size of a cow, although a little larger. The screams of the Griever are right on with the metallic sound. The only thing that I'm confused about is when Thomas is one on one with the Griever, he was supposed to dodge it and go to the side while the griever goes right past him. And then with the huge cliff in the book, I'm not sure if they showed it, Thomas and Minho were supposed to do the exact same move with even more Grievers and make them run right off of the almost never-ending cliff. That would've been a great scene.
I personally loved the design of the Grievers in the movie more than in the book. That's mainly because I felt their descriptions in the book were almost incomprehensible and what I could comprehend, I found pretty silly. Whereas here, the design is more comprehensive.
The description from the book is- the Grievers are slightly larger than a cow, the main body is slug like with mechanical arms, and and contracting spikes/ needles coming out every 10seconds or so, and very slimy/ wet looking.
@@pengoh_64ft long 4ft wide they move like slugs and there body’s look like the ones from the movie it describes them as fleshy and hairy and they have a bunch of metal arms and “stingers”
Am i the only one who gets frustrated when someone is supposedly wants to survive yet stops to just wonder around aimlessly and slowly out in the open like they were on a field trip? Dude, stop making yourself a living target and start moving!
if you are talking about the ending of this scene, he was trying to act as bait so he can hopefully smush the griever. If you are talking about the part in the middle where Thomas meets back up with Minho, yeah that's annoying
They were. They also didn’t attack in massive waves like in that one scene. Instead they came one at a time and took single survivors rather than multiple at the same time.
@@KeruToLthe book described it as basically a grotesque hairy, pale green, and wet slug-like blob with many random mechanical arms. They also had some lights and had a burning, oily smell ( prolly cause they're mechanical) and are roughly cow-sized. They would also make horrible, disturbing moans that was described by Thomas in the book as " the sound of soldiers dying in a battlefield ". The way they mainly got around in the books was they rolled around as the mechanical arms would move out of the way to avoid being crushed by the main bulbous body of the griever. They also had no mouths, just mechanical arms, some being giant needles, buzzsaws, and even shears. Apparently the hairs on them are also dangerous because the hairs are also how they sting you. My bad for it being so long, just wanted to provide a vivid description of the grievers from the books.
Director: "Okay we need a creature that's gonna be in this maze... Something ugly." Designer: "How about a giant larva? They are slimy and looks ugly..." Director: "I need it to be able to kill..." Designer: "A meat eating larva!" Director: "It needs to be able to hunt down people too... Larva's isn't directly fast." Designer: "Machines are though..." Director: "So, we're ignoring the whole larva idea then?" Designer: "No... We'll just give the larva one hell of an upgrade. You know Scorpions, right?" Director: "What do you have in mind?" And thus the Griever was born. XD
I love the fact that these monster are part machine! Usually da tasty monsters are just flesh and blood. And the legs hitting the ground at 0:43 was so chilling
I just finished reading the first book, and though this is an excellent representation, it is a little different. I think this version is scarier looking, but I prefer what Thomas did in the books to escape.
They were trying to find cure, cause if u r not immune u will turn to crank eventually. This was long time solution so they spent time in this and exterminate cranks when were attacked by them.
I got to say they presented the monster scarier than i imagained in my book and i love it. But the problem is that its just too big. Thomas handle these creature 1 on 1 but here the monster is too strong so it also ruined a few things
You’d be exhausted from running all night trying to hide. You’d eventually run out of energy with the Grievers catching up to you. There’s also really nowhere to rest or sleep. The maze changes and you’ll end up getting stuck somewhere with no place to run.
I just finished reading the book and then came back to this scene. Yup, the book to movie differences are very noticeable. Still, though, this was still good, in my opinion.
As somebody who never saw the movie or read the books, what was the deal with the dude hanging up high against the vines and why were they trying to get him down?
He was wounded and they had to keep him safe until morning when the doors to the maze would open and he could get back to the safe area and they are being hunted in the maze
I was kind of dissapointed when I saw the grievers in this movie. I was hoping they would be more machine like the book. With engines nestled inside the main body. And they should have had an idling mode like in the book to not overheat them.
So tell me why he knew there was something like that but decided to retrieve a dead body and why did he waste time when he could have run off with his friend before the maze closed?
They only fact is the Didn’t give the grievers more screen time in the other movies, like what if in the death cure they go back to the maze at night and rescue some people still trapped there in the maze with grievers still lying around
Wow... I'm a Hindu and I see a dude who has multiple comments on this video morphing some sanskrit words to preach Satanism lmao 😂 I'm not against Satanism but dude your references are absolutely irrelevant lol
Not everyone you meet on the street is okay. Not everyone you encounter on RU-vid is well. I have read the comments you are referring to, and I have the feeling all is not well with the writer of those comments. I may be wrong, but...
People here be I never watched or read maze runner but this thing fuckin scares me. Idk how it was described in the book but I saw things like “slug” and “grim reaper” and tbh this looks better
