i mean up to you, but for some easy specific examples the whatever organisation matters alot less and all the infected are just zombies you need to kill in the movies.

in the books its more like an insanity virus that makes you partially insane and violent in bouts until you become a zombie like existence but is significantly more about interacting with humans that has crazy elements rather than pew pew guns go shooting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maze_Runner_(book_series) apparently there are 5 main books and i guess 2 prequels? im going off a youtube comment.

it became relevant cause a friend was watching the movies and said he saw nothing wrong, and when we talked about it the plots were just ENTIRELY different.

minor spoiler for book 2 and movie 2. >!in book 2 they come up, in this empty fascility is locked, starve for 2 weeks then see corpses hanging on the sealing that disappears with blinking light and they all get brnaded with titles like "the sinner" and "the betrayer" and stupid shit like that, then a guy called the ratman tells them they are sunscorched and has to travel across the desert in 2 weeks to get "the cure" which is a lie. and basically kicks them into a teleporter!<

>!Start of movie 2 is coming up to a facility with food and people and safety, but deciding to leave because they dont feel safe or wants to explore or something. makes WAY more sense !<

Got to book 2 or 3. And basically rage quit because the entire point of book 2 was any character decision and character dynamic, all fake, saved 2 people that was dying, planted, got betrayed by love interest, planted, but was planted that she said it was planted, and it was planted that she said it was planted tbst said it was planted. Entire skyscrapers falls down from a sandstorm? Yep that's planned somehow. Everyone is dying and there is no cure except a few kids who seems to be immune. But they have TELEPORTATION TECHNOLOGY.

God damn. I actually quite liked the first book, but SPOILER apparently in book 7 it's revealed that the entire book one memory loss was a lie and the 5 times she and they almost died? Yep it was planned.

It felt so vile to read it, because I just knew that nothing mattered.

I HATE that book series, it's been 10 years and I still to this day have a seething hatred for it everytime I'm reminded it exists. There are like 7 books and it's the most contrived painful idiotic nonsense put to paper.

Minor spoiler. To make a tldr basically every book after everything that happens and has happened is all planned at all times, with insane nonsense like seeing hanging people in a corridor that vanishes after the light blinks. Never explained. TELEPORTATION TECHNOLOGY. Never explained. Reasoning and bullshit galore.

The movies on the other hand are just normal no brain zombie action movies and god they are better for it.
