Teresa, Newt, Brenda and lastly Minho.
Teresa is a betrayer, Newt is a crazy crank (though I liked him at the start), Brenda is a bit weird, and I love Minho. He is AWESOME!!!



Worst to best?

WORST: Teresa. COW!
Then Minho, just because I never really liked him as much as the others.
Then Brenda, because I love her.
BEST: Newt. Who the hell else??????? Newt is the best out of them ALL. I am still emotionally damaged because of what happened to him. It's been like 5 years since I've read the book and I'm still not over it.

Jersey Sizemore Worst: Teresa do i even need to explain.
Brenda: I liked her but she wast my fav.
Minho: he was cool and all but he just wasnt the vibe for me.
Newt: hes

Brenda, Teresa, Minho, Newt.

I never reall got Brenda, she just sort of appeared. She really annoyes me for some reason. Teresa is a traitor so I don't really like her but she was Ok in the first book. I like Minho the best, but in reality, he was impulsive and hot tempered, but still he was a great leader and my favorite character. Newt was of course very likeable but sort of boring. He was more of a sidekick than Minho and yet he was always there when Thomas needed him.

Guys you have to understand Teresa had to do what she had to do. It was desperation no I haven’t looked at the last book yet so I don’t know my feelings about her in that way BUT I know that I hate Brenda from the moment I heard her name I was like, NO. Don’t don’t like how she’s so clingy. In a situation that she was in I don’t know why it was her first priority to go and flirt with Thomas. I personally don’t like that that the writers first choice was to go and make her love interest because I Think that it would’ve been way better and I would’ve like to write better if she wasn’t. I also really didn’t like that they are going to end up together, keep in mind I haven’t read the last book but I did spoil it for myself. I always will stand for Teresa just because what she did was out of desperation and she kind of had to do it. If I was in that situation and they were going to kill me if I didn’t do one thing and And this thing that I was going to do would keep both people alive if done properly, then I’ll do it. And it really hurts me that Thomas didn’t forgive her and I really hate that Brenda was there just for a disposable love interest but I guess they ended up together. Which honestly what is love anymore. I don’t like it I really hate Brenda. Not only to mention she was rude to in my perspective was everybody except Thomas when she was flirting with him. It also disappoints me so much that the people in this comment section don’t have any perspective at all. And honestly I’m gonna tell this to you right now it’s not OK to body shame I’ve seen a couple couple comments body shaming Theresa and honestly you are literally the scum of the earth. Even if that’s a fictional character there’s still an actor for the movies that plays her, so rude. that promotes body shaming. Go to list it would be Brenda, Teresa, Minho, and newt. Newt being the best and Brenda of being the worst. I’d like to also mention that the writer could’ve made Brenda so much better if he added more to the character instead of being his love interest which was totally out of pocket.

Ember Ignis I read Fever Code first of all the books so I am a loyal fan of Themesa, whatever Teresa did to Thomas. Plus, at the end she died to save him right? I ...more

Teresa, Brenda, Minho, Newt

I HATE Teresa and I didn't like Brenda. Newt and Minho was hard to choose but, I mean, Newt is awesome. I never liked Teresa because of all her WICKED is GOOD crap and Brenda was just irritating.

Newt and Minho are amazing obviously.


Teresa, Brenda, Minho, Newt.
Newt was my favorite character out of the entire series, even more than Thomas.


I like Teresa!!


Teresa, Brenda, Minho and Newt!


Teresa, Brenda, Newt and Minho.
Teresa is low-key a s**t (sorry for the language). I can no longer put up with her childish behaviour. She's just that annoying.
Brenda is nice, I used to loathe her to death at first, but she's overall fine.
Newt is no comment. Can I get extra credit for not hurling the book when (view spoiler)? Just give it to me already.
But he's so likeable, dude. :)
Minho is just... Let me put this pretty plainly -he got me choking on my spit :) Right.
Well... I somewhat think he should've been the main character since the very start. Would've been more fun. (^_^) No misunderstandings right here, thanks.


I HATE HATE HATE HATE both Teresa and Brenda for some reason. I feel like Thomas’ mother since I am judging his relationships but like... you can do better than this man! First a backstabber and then this weird Brenda girl who is all the way too in love with you... I LOVE LOVE LOVE both Newt and Minho. I don’t think I need explanation there...


Teresa, Brenda, Newt, and then Minho

Teresa sucks, she's literally a betrayer, in the movies all she cares about is her looks and getting people to like her. Sure, she did die for Thomas, but she did a ton of other stuff that isn't redeemable just by dying.

Brenda is not my favorite, but she's cool and I like her personality.

Newt is a really good character, and I like him, but I just don't like him that much.

Minho rules-


Teresa, Brenda, Minho and Newt
I never liked Teresa, she was so annoying and I never understood in which side was she.
in the second book I didn't like Brenda, I thought she was extra in the story and she was only there to confuse Thomas (another character that I don't like very much), but later, in the last book, I began to like her more and I like the couple between Thomas and her.
Minho is in 2nd place only because Newt exists xd.
no, but seriously, Minho is one of my favourites characters, I think we are kinda similar in the personality and I was very sad for him when the hole Newt thing happened.
and finally Newt. He's just Newt and with that is already in the first place of best character in the entire maze runner trilogy. no more explanations.

Teresa would be worse. And then Brenda. I guess i didn't like how James wrote their characters. They were kind of annoying, and Teresa, like, come on! Then Minho, but only because Newt is my fave and i can't have 2 faves


Teresa, Brenda, Minho, & Newt. Nothing against Brenda I just like Minho and Newt more than her,


i would definitely say
4. teresa
3. brenda
2. minho
1. newt

okay, my reasoning is:
4. teresa - i mean she had her good moments and at some points i nearly believed that she was doing the right thing before she betrayed thomas again - but i genuinely think that she believed that she was doing the right thing because of all the WCKD brainwashing
3. brenda - she is so badass and just a whole lot cooler than teresa as far as the female characters go but i think i didn't connect to her chcracter as much as the original gladers - nothing against her character though, she's cool as hell and has an actual moral compass (unlike teresa)
2. minho - okay, when i first read book 1 i didn't really vibe with his character but he's built up so well and by the end of death cure, i was so attached to him. he's a loyal and kind friend, passionate about finding solutions as well as being a really well rounded character. i think the turning point for me was the moment where he absolutely refuses to let newt go - it showed his more emotional side and i loved it.
1. newt - oh my GOD where do i start, i think newt is my favourite character in the history of all the books i've read, let alone within the series. he's just the most genuine character (strange to say because he is, well, a character) and i think his qualities really define his well earned position as fan favourite. he's loyal, kind, caring, compassionate and has the best one liners in the whole series. he’s very hardworking, if he has something he needs to do he’ll do it without complaining. he’s funny, he uses sarcasm to kind of hide behind while also carrying off really humorous one liners. he’s a really loyal friend, he’s been through thick and thin with his friends and he continues to trust them and follow them loyally. he’s smart, he’s really quick witted and can strategise really well. he’s level headed, he’s always calm and collected when faced with problems. he’s selfless and is wiling to risk his life for the sake of other people. i share some of the same qualities as newt, being a fellow britand all. the biggest one is that we both use sarcasm as a defense mechanism as we both suffer from mental health issues. i think he’s a lot more selfless than i am. he’s really determined and i lack that sense of empowerment a lot. he’s also willing to blindly follow those he’s close to, which is something i struggle with. i formed a real attachment to the way his character is portrayed as i felt like i could relate to him on a deeper level. i enjoy the way he’s portrayed because i feel as though it exaggerates certain qualities that are heavily desired and it also symbolises a strong friendship bond which is something that i think every human craves.

okay, rant over, but i just really love the maze runner series ahah

-rei


1)The worst is Teresa, i dont hate her, before reading the book i got spoilers and i thought that she was worst, but now that i read it, idk, its x to me, but im glad that she's dead, because she would be so jeaously of brenda and thomas that would ruind many moments of happiness.
2) Minho, i love him, but i love more the others
3) Brenda, she is sooo real and nice, and fearless.
4) Newt is the best far away, he deserves the entire world, is cute, fearless, brave, AAAAAAAA why does he have to be dead?? *cries *


Teresa, Brenda, Minho, Newt.

Teresa-- I never really got her as a character. I mean, she betrayed everyone. And then she unbetrayed everyone. And then she betrayed them again. Honestly, that girl needs to make up her mind.

Brenda-- She's only there to be Thomas's love interest.

Minho and Newt-- I like both of them a lot, but Newt's better because he died.


easy:
4. Brenda
3. Teresa
2. Minho
1. Newt
bc a. I really hate Brenda for no random reason. b. teresa's a traitor so that's self-explanatory. c. I like Minho for no random reason. d. newt is just the cutes and the best.


Teresa, IDK why but Brenda is second I just don't like her, Newt, Minho. IDK why I just like Minho's personality more than Newts.


Teresa, Minho, Newt, Brenda :DD


worst to best: Brenda, Teresa, Minho and Newt.
I felt Brenda's character was a bit unnecessary. Teresa's character had so much potential but it all went to shit after the first book. Newt is first because he's just very likeable.


Teresa bc duh, Brenda bc she was just there to be Thomas's love interest & was written kind of flat (not her fault ofc), Newt, and then Minho's my favorite in the whole mf series


Brenda is last I don’t know why everyone likes her she is so annoying I hate her with Thomas ( Newman anyone? 🤭) then is Treasa she did what she has to do but not my favorite then Minho he’s cool and obviously Newt is first he’s my favorite I still haven’t fully recovered from his death 😭


worst – teresa brenda minho newt – best


I love Thomas he is cool


gally is a fucker for killing chuck


Treasa-ewww she is a jerk Brenda- sh was not as good as the boys Minho- idk Newt-he is sooooo cute a sweet so likable


Brenda: I hate her sm
I LOVED U TERESA, ESPECIALLY IN THE KILL ORDER, BUT THEN I TOTALLY HATED YOU IN THE FEVER CODE.
Minho is the baby daddy
Newt is the baby mama and my love


Brenda, Teresa, Minho, Newt

I was never fond of Brenda, and didn't like that she took Thomas away from Teresa. I really liked Teresa for a while. It's not like that anymore, but I don't hate her.

Minho is great. He really is - especially in the first book. He's the best character in that one.

But overall, Newt is the best. I don't know what it is, but everything about him is just... Great. Yeah, Newt is great.


wow, I did not know so many people read thos book as well!


I never liked brenda, cuz u dont steal somebodys mans like that. I liked Teresa until she left them, Thomas, Minho, and last but not least mama Newt.


worst to best:

Teresa: I never really trusted her after scorch trials and even though she claims to regret what she did I personally think that she was extremely emotionally manipulative and I also hated her in fever code and I feel like she was not herself in maze runner and death cure and we only saw her true colours when she was acting spiteful.
Brenda: I thought that Brenda was really badass and was the perfect female character in a series where the majority of the characters where male. I think that it was really refreshing to have a female character who wasn't the 'damsel in distress' and in many situations the gladers relayed on her skills to help them though the scorch.
Minho: I thought that Minho was hilariously sarcastic and much needed in a sometimes very sad book to provide the comic relief throughout the series. I also believe that he played a vital role in the storyline and was by far the funniest character.
Newt: In my opinion Newt was the best character by far as he was a very caring sweet character who like Minho played a vital role in the story. I believe that even though his death was heart breaking I feel ashamed to say that it was necessary. Although his death wasn't the first(or last) death in the book I think that it was the most distressing and disheartening as he was a character who made it out of the glade and the scorch but didn't quite survive until the end of the first three books. I think that it really helped to paint the picture of the world the characters lived in. It also helped to portray the emotional trauma caused by W.I.C.K.E.D and it was in my opinion the most painful death for the characters and also the reader.


Teresa cause I hate her, she is just ughhh . Then Brenda, because I like Newt and Minho better , Minho cuz he's great but a little too cocky and Newt cuz he's my all time favorite


I haven't read these books since 2017, buuut with that being said:
Teresa, Brenda, Minho, Newt.

I NEVER liked Teresa. She has no character other than being a complete know-it-all with no flaws. And even with all her betrayals and trickery, everyone still likes her??? What??? Ugh, just...No, I dislike her.

The few things I remember about Brenda is that I didn't like her either. I thought her whole "thing" with Thomas was stupid. She exists to have an unneeded love-triangle and to be the "badass girl character" but fails at it pretty badly...


Minho is awesome. From what I remember, I wanna say he's underappreciated. He's got GUTS. Unlike most of the other characters...(cough, Thomas, cough.)

Newt is my favorite character, ever. He's the fan-favorite, I know, but he deserves it. He's loyal, friendly, logical, accepting, and just give mE A BOOK ON NEWT AND I'LL READ IT.


Teresa, Minho, Brenda, Newt.

Teresa is the worst because of what she did to endanger fellow gladers, even though her intentions were right. She also left Thomas in pain. She let many people suffer from pain and many got killed.

Minho is next because I feel like we didn't really get to see or get to know him very well.

Brenda is next because she is very brave and determined. One of my favorite things about her was that when Newt was dying she tried to help. And not to mention the number of times she had to save Minho, Newt, and Thomas.

Newt first because he was always so encouraging, no matter what. He was there, and he was there for you. Also, I love him with a burning passion.

Teresa, Brenda, Newt, Minho

Teresa(I don't even know why she still exists at this point - a simple solution to get everyone to trust you - STOP BACKSTABBING THEM),

Brenda(sorry got nothing against you but the other's are better),

Newt(yesh),

and Minho(THE BESSSTT!! I like him so much!! Okay there are some times when he's a bit of a jerk but he's still really awesome!!)


Teresa, Brenda, Minho, then Newt.
Teresa betrays everybody, so I HATE her.
Brenda is ok, but she's a bit boring I find.
Minho is great and funny and I just like him.
Newt is AMAZING! I love him and am still heartbroken over what happened to him!


I would have to say Brenda, Teresa, Minho, and then Newt. Brenda is my least favorite because I always though she was annoying and I didn't like her character. Teresa sucks but after reading the fever code I sorta understood why she was so awful. I love Minho but sometimes he is too impulsive and gets everyone into hard situations. Newt is my favorite character and so I have to put him as the best.


Teresa BETRAYER Minho MEAN Brenda OK Newt GREAT


Teresa, Brenda, Minho, and then Newt
SORRY NEWT IS JUST SO LIKEABLE
