MAZE RUNNER FANS WHO HATED NEWT'S ENDING PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR ATTENTION. Okay, y'all this has nothing to do with anything I'm writing (or even reading), and I know everyone hates to see these and nobody reads them but. What if. In the Death Cure, we all know what happens to our favorite salamander (spoilers for those who somehow haven't read it yet), but what if he doesn't die? "But Ari," you say, "Thomas shot him in the head." Yes yes, I understand that, but! Thomas doesn't look back because he can't handle what he'll see. And it is possible to survive being shot, even in the head, so I suggest this: Newt isn't dead. The bullet didn't kill him, and he was found by a doctor or some shit who saved him. Theoretically, this would also solve the Flare problem, because (if I remember properly), the Flare is centered in the brain. The bullet could have damaged the part of his brain that the Flare was in, right?! And yeah, he would probably need to relearn how to do a bunch of shit, but still! NEWT COULD BE ALIVE. I've been thinking about this shit since the first time I read that book, because I'm always suspicious of on page deaths where you don't see the body. We don't see it, it never happened. Plus, with the new Maze Runner books that are coming out, there's the possibility we'll learn more about this. Obviously we won't see Newt in it, or if we do he's an insanely old man, but we could meet his descendants! That's all from me y'all, carry on.
