Being against invasions is racist
What's sad is that I can see this in today's world

Oy vey
How do people like you guys even function? Are you just in a state of perpetual outrage?
Who said we function?
It seems like you are the one who is outraged and that they live by perpetually cracking jokes
why do they all have that blank stare that children in child pornography have
Because they've seen some shit and I'm not even joking when I say this. PTSD is a running element of the series
Yes the author said she wanted to send the message of the horrors of war, especially since they are literally child soldiers. The worst part is probably the cripple kid army.
Still depressed over that to be honest. Especially since it's described how happy they are to morph and how it fixes some of their disabilities. Then Jake sends them all to die
Yes very grim.
>Then Jake sends them all to die
the worst part is how they all die as literal cannon fodder, they didnt even go out blazing
I can't say as how I'm overly familiar with what the faces in child pornography look like.
where do you live
The covers were the best part of the books
I would prefer an animated series.
Based Rachel. Was mad as hell when her israelite cousin sent her to die.
The og show was good at the time. I was only annoyed the one guy gets stuck as a bird because he went pass two hours. You can literally touch a bug in the corner before some goofy shit like that happens.
He was hiding moron and didn't want to be killed. In the long run it doesn't even matter because he gets hmthe ability to morph and his human form back anyway
You can literally store the dna for later use. How the frick you touch a bird but not any bug since getting the powers?
So i don't completely remember the story of why he broke the 2 hour rule, but remember that after two hours, you have o return to your original state. It doesn't matter if he had a bug morph, because he could have been caught before trying to switch.
there's also the underlying story that he just didnt want to be a human anymore since his life was shit. Remember, he gets his human morph back but doesnt want to stay as a human either.
You could morph into a bug and instantly find yourself being hunted by some monster predator insect or arachnid that spits paralysing venom at you and slowly eats you over two days.
Because he would have been caught de morphing. Morphing isn't instantaneous, it takes around 5 minutes to complete and these are aliens with advanced technology, they'd know something was up in an instant and they would feed him to a taxxon, which is a very painful way to die
pretty sure it takes them ages to be able to quickly morph from one to another and only cassie gets actually good at it.
tobias getting hawkstuck was one of their first attempts at doing anything
Would reboot Animorphs be troony enby horseshits, or heckin' appropriating animal cultures?
>Animorphs steals DNA from a post op-troony
It would be too redpilled.
Wouldn't need to be, the entire cast are all minorities. Jake is a israelite, Marco is a Hispanic, Cassie is a nig, Tobias is half alien and Rachel is probably israeli too since she and Jake are related.
Would be far too kino for modern audiences
If you think about it, Animorphs is just western power rangers. They even have a sixth ranger arc.
They're more akin to a Guerrilla warfare band than some nipshit
Already in the works courtesy of Netflix. Original authors left the project due to creative differences.
Meh, most of the books were ghost written anyway
yes but with supervision and constant checks for approval
I mean, weren't most of the original books ghost written anyway? The series was kinda all over the place too, it went to some weird and wacky places. Any reasonable adaptation is probably going to have to be very selective about which plots it's going to use. So having the original author off the project might make that process a little easier, you can choose the "good stuff" rather than the stuff they had the biggest personal investment in.
god the end of this series was a disappointing wet fart.
rachel's getting polar bear'd was memorable and poetic but the rest just went crazy
It wasn't disappointing to be honest. I felt that way as a kid fornsure but growing up I realized just how much the story couldn't have ended any other way. All of them were broken inside by the end of the war and were tired of living outside of Cassie. Jake and Tobias had become social recluse and Marco was living a Robin Williams level existence, smiling on the outside but crying on the inside. A suicide mission was something they'd jump into without a second thought. A way to kill themselves without the stigma of the act of suicide.
the mission only seemed ok because of how long they spent fricking around 'tying up loose ends' by creating new ones.

Jake is israeli
>Dear Animorphs Readers:
>Quite a number of people seem to be annoyed by the final chapter in the Animorphs story. There are a lot of complaints that I let Rachel die. That I let Visser Three/One live. That Cassie and Jake broke up. That Tobias seems to have been reduced to unexpressed grief. That there was no grand, final fight-to-end-all-fights. That there was no happy celebration. And everyone is mad about the cliffhanger ending.
>So I thought I’d respond.
>Animorphs was always a war story. Wars don’t end happily. Not ever. Often relationships that were central during war, dissolve during peace. Some people who were brave and fearless in war are unable to handle peace, feel disconnected and confused. Other times people in war make the move to peace very easily. Always people die in wars. And always people are left shattered by the loss of loved ones.
>That’s what happens, so that’s what I wrote. Jake and Cassie were in love during the war, and end up going their seperate ways afterward. Jake, who was so brave and capable during the war is adrift during the peace. Marco and Ax, on the other hand, move easily past the war and even manage to use their experience to good effect. Rachel dies, and Tobias will never get over it. That doesn’t by any means cover everything that happens in a war, but it’s a start.
>Here’s what doesn’t happen in war: there are no wondrous, climactic battles that leave the good guys standing tall and the bad guys lying in the dirt. Life isn’t a World Wrestling Federation Smackdown. Even the people who win a war, who survive and come out the other side with the conviction that they have done something brave and necessary, don’t do a lot of celebrating. There’s very little chanting of ‘we’re number one’ among people who’ve personally experienced war.
>I’m just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I’ve never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn’t going to do it at the end. I’ve spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I’ve written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To think about the right and wrong, not just the who-beat-who. And to tell you the truth I’m a little shocked that so many readers seemed to believe I’d wrap it all up with a lot of high-fiving and backslapping. Wars very often end, sad to say, just as ours did: with a nearly seamless transition to another war.
>So, you don’t like the way our little fictional war came out? You don’t like Rachel dead and Tobias shattered and Jake guilt-ridden? You don’t like that one war simply led to another? Fine. Pretty soon you’ll all be of voting age, and of draft age. So when someone proposes a war, remember that even the most necessary wars, even the rare wars where the lines of good and evil are clear and clean, end with a lot of people dead, a lot of people crippled, and a lot of orphans, widows and grieving parents.
>If you’re mad at me because that’s what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad. I couldn’t have written it any other way and remained true to the respect I have always felt for Animorphs readers.
>K.A. Applegate
Remember this was written in July 2001
How prophetic. A lot of animorphs readers would end up fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq
wasnt most of animorphs ghost written anyway?
Yeah basically all of the filler stories were ghost written
Based author. Growing up reading this series definitely shaped me into anti-war.
I kneel.
This is bullshit because Cassie and Jake were obviously in love before they encountered Elfangor.
You're missing the point. The War had a massive impact on Jake's psyche which is why his relationship with Cassie suffered. No different than how veterans of combat tend to have higher divorce ratio
NO TURNIN' BACK
It seems kind of a stupid premise to have the power to turn into animals to fight aliens. Like don't they have guns or anything to just shoot them lmao?
aliens had better guns.
morphing renewed your body allowing for helaing of awful injuries.
the morph technology wasn't intended to be used with puny earth animals.
They don't fight head on. They do hit and run operations where they sabotage yeerk infrastructure. Morphing into animals is two fold on that it keeps their identities hidden as the years believe they're Anadalites when they're actually humans and secondly it gives them the ability to fight back since they have no weapons to speak of
they never really fight head to head like a power rangers show or something. Its always guerilla warfare with them. They'll sneak into facilities using things like bug or bird morphs, destroy a bunch of shit and then run away before any big engagements. In the cases where they do need to fight, a bunch of tigers and bears appearing out of nowhere is still good enough to kill enough of them so they can flee.
>hot ass cousin
>nah i'm into lou brock
How come the two on their right are in animal form already?
I don't think they'd have the balls to go fully into how dark the concept really is.
Or if they did they'd make it fake and gay
Rachel gave me unrealistic expectations about girls.
NO TURNING BACK NO BACKING DOWN NOWHERE TO RUN NO SOLID GROOOOOUND
