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 😭

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.
