Does Anyone Really Talk About How Different "Please Tommy, Please" Is In The Movies Than In The Books?

Does anyone really talk about how different "Please Tommy, please" is in the movies than in the books?

In the movies, "Please Tommy, please" is Newt's beg for Thomas to take the necklace that had his note inside of it. Basically begging Thomas to take his last words, something to remember him by.

But in the books...

"Please Tommy, please" is a cry for mercy. A plead for Thomas to not let Newt fall into insanity. To end his suffering before he became a Crank past the Gone. He even wrote the "Kill me. If you've ever been my friend, kill me" note. He's been begging Thomas to kill him since the beginning of TDC.

It just hits differently in the books, man 😭

Am I to believe this is homie behavior?

Bro was on board like a page later, I bet you man didn't fight him once

(Context for those who need it: They're planning on going into the Maze to the Griever hole to try and escape. Alby, traumatized and kinda insane from his experience with the Changing, is pretty heavily against this. Newt says not to worry, that he'll get him to join the escaping group; The Maze Runner, Page 321)

MAZE RUNNER HEADCANON #8

Death Cure Spoilers!

The only time Alby broke the rules was when Newt didn’t come back from the maze. He ran straight in and was searching frantically for him, and when he saw Newt laying half-dead and bleeding on the floor, he hugged him so close and so tight, crying his eyes out. In happiness or in sadness

You’re my big brother.You’re supposed to be the one comforting me.

Exactly. Movie!Newt died by accident, there was a possibility of salvation. Book!Newt was never going to be saved and Thomas probably never fully accepted that reality, which is why he tried so hard to not kill him. That was really painful to read tbh. The movies were good though, it was another sense of pain because instead of being sad that he could never have lived, we were sad that he accidentally died right before Brenda could save him.
