** This stands in stark contrast to the book, in which Newt is described as being very tall and muscular, but the trope is played straight with Thomas who, unlike his movie counterpart, is short and thin.

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the books, Thomas and Teresa could communicate with each other telepathically, with Aris and PosthumousCharacter Rachel sharing the same ability between themselves and the aforementioned twosome. This was revealed in ''The Death Cure'' to be the result of [[spoiler:a chip implanted in their heads by WICKED, which could also be used to control them and the other Gladers, who were also implanted]]. In the films, all four characters lack this ability and whilst ''Maze Runner: The Death Cure'' reveals that the Gladers [[spoiler:do have chips implanted in their bodies, it’s in their necks and merely functions as a tracking beacon]].

*** ''The Scorch Trials'' briefly featured a Crank nicknamed "Blondie", who appeared briefly to kidnap Thomas and Brenda forcing them to drink hallucinogenic-spiked drinks and party with him and two other Cranks. The film turns the character into Marcus, who the Gladers have been searching for in order to find The Right Arms’ base of operation, which he would know the location of as a former member of said organization. His aforementioned actions from the book are changed from the delusional actions of someone going insane from The Flare virus, to [[spoiler:a deliberate ploy to drug, capture and sell Immunes to WCKD]].

* AdaptationNameChange: WICKED became WCKD in the films, although the pronunciation remained the same.

** WICKED[[note]]World In Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department[[/note]] from the books,
became WCKD WCKD[[note]]World Catastrophe Killzone Department[[/note]] in the films, films although the pronunciation remained the same.same.
** In books, the Gladers' names are revealed to be false names implanted in their brains when they were first taken in by WICKED, with their real names going unrevealed. There are three exceptions revealed in the prequels: ''The Kill Order'' reveals that Teresa was originally [[spoiler:Deedee]] and ''The Fever Code'' reveals that Thomas and Sonya were [[spoiler:Stephen]] and [[spoiler:Lizzy]] respectively. However, the film version of ''The Maze Runner'' lacks the reveal about the Gladers' names being false, and ''Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials'' has a flashback where Thomas's mother calls him "Thomas" before he's handed over to WCKD, and in a later scene Teresa, having recovered her memories, mentions a memory of her own mother calling out "Teresa" long before she was ever taken by WCKD. All of this suggests that the names they've been using are their real names - which is implied to be true for the other Gladers as well.
