Maze Runner: The Death Cure

Question: Thomas, Newt and Minho jump out the window. Failing to catch them, Janson tells his man to drop the net. What does he mean by that? (01:29:55)

Question: What would the people outside of the wall gain by destroying the whole city? It was WCKD they were after, right?

Answer: It's not so much that the rebels gain anything by destroying the city, it's just that they are untrained and driven by rage. They do not act as a military unit, they act more like a mob. They lack the discipline to strike only enemy combatants and instead cause chaos in the entire city. The point is that the rebels are acting no better, and in fact quite a bit worse, than the infected do.

Question: Thomas knew about being tagged. Why didn't he (and the others) have it removed earlier? It didn't appear to be that delicate or complicated a procedure to have it removed. Am I missing something?

Answer: They were too busy to have it removed.

Question: Why did Janson kill Ava Paige?

Answer: Because Janson wishes to be the one in charge. He plans to cure himself and only the people he deems worthy, presumably so he can "rule the world."

Question: Couldn't WCKD send armed troops to kill/capture Thomas (and the others) since he's so dangerous to them (before their tags got removed)? It's not like they don't know where he is as they could get the drone to follow him and show his whereabouts on their map.

Answer: Yes, they could have, but they didn't. Why? Go ask the movie director.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Newt is straddling Thomas with a knife pointed down at his upper left chest, it's very obvious that the knife goes into his chest, through Thomas' shirt. A few minutes later, when Thomas is kneeling over Newt, after Newt stabs himself in the chest, the stab hole in Thomas' shirt is no longer there and he isn't bleeding. (01:50:45)

Newt: Then you'll need all the help you can then, won't you? Look, we started this together, may as well end it that way, too.
