The other major change is that Maze Runner: The Death Cure eliminated the epilogue from Dashner's original novel (something that isn't even included in the film as a post-credits scene). The note offers hope for the future, and gives the final moments of The Death Cure a distinctly optimistic - if not entirely happy - conclusion. At the end, Newt thanks Thomas for being his friend. Newt implores Thomas that "the future's in your hands" and tells Thomas to look after everyone left. In the film, Newt's note speaks of a better world built by Thomas and the remaining survivors. Instead of a deeply unsettling message showcasing the bleakness of the world in which these characters live, Maze Runner: The Death Cure employs a classic movie trope of having the deceased character offer the lead some advice and/or hope through a letter.
