If you had an unlimited budget, how would you adapt this to film?

Idris Elba as cassey
Chris Pratt as ax
I would spend the budget transforming you physically into a dog and then leaving you that way.
I’m assuming you’re Canadian
You being a literal dog would’ve prevented your post.
Instead you are stuck as an existential dog with human hands.
A cursed existence.
I’ll take that as a yes
>Don't have to go to work
>Fed and taken care of by slaves who adore you
>Human hands and brain allow for the continued pursuit of personal cultivation, unfettered by the trappings of a human body
>Dog body allows for the continued pursuit of belly rubs, unfettered by the social conventions of a human body that would make them inappropriate
Blessed existence
are you a white woman by chance
skip the filler books
which are those?
Some of them were really good like the solo Cassie one
>k. a.
>j. k.
I hate this shit so much, they're only doing it because they saw other writers did it
Scholastic forced them too, they didn't think female written books would sell to boys.
Most boys are too young and dumb to know the difference
10 year old boys know what a girls name is, even 5 year old boys do.
Now that I think about it, you’re probably right
As a younger kid I would assume a book written by a woman would be meant for girls
And now as adults we know a book written by a woman is meant for the trash bin
this, i wouldn't have touched deltora quest if it wasn't part of my english class's syllabus
You had a based English class
My class just read to kill a mocking bird
everyone wanna be the goat RL
In my acting and directorial debut, I use cutting edge CGI to transform myself into a dog and fuck various actresses.
Introducing: "Animorphs: The Shagging Dog"
Anime adaption, like Deltora Quest. It's the only way.
Animorphs had significantly more blood and gore in it than deltora
I’m shocked that they let kids like me read it back then
True, but Deltora Quest proved Japan can adapt American book properties. An American version would be censored and everyone would be gay.
Same as Howl's moving Castle
uhh earthsea?
If it kept the tone of the live action series, sure.
How was the live action series like? Was it just as gritty as the books were?
It did have a dark tone to it, but no gore because kids show on Nickelodeon.
It’d have to be adapted as anime or animated series for young adults if they want to keep all the gore and themes of slavery
It was low budget, but the casting was solid. It's a shame.
Weebs should be shot
>omg this series is like SOOOOO dark and also it made me jack off to women transforming into animals!!!
Why are millennials like this? The 90s weren't that great, you were just young.
Have it be animated by hand.
avatar-quality CGI and no pulling punches on the violence
emphasis on the negative impacts of war on the psyche of teenage children and how PTSD takes many forms in how the different child solders cope with it
Why didnt transform into other humans again? That would be infinitely more useful than fucking gimmicky animals.
they did sometimes but thought it was unethical so they didn't do it that often
>they did sometimes but thought it was unethical so they didn't do it that often
Fucking dropped lmao
I mean they're kids
As the series goes on and they get more desperate/jaded they gradually forget about ethics and start doing stuff they wouldn't before, such as
>blackmail
>torture
>reprogramming pacifist robots into terrifying killing machines to help win the war
>Killing mind-controlled human slaves because they can't afford not to anymore
>Recruiting a bunch of cripples from a children's hospital in order to use them as cheap cannon fodder
Jake was a seriously cold calculating motherfucker when Cassie was no longer allowed to bitch about anything. Guy made Ghengis Khan look like a saint but it helped humanity win the war
that guy had real balls... sending his own cousin to take out his beloved brother when rescue was finally impossible. he must've known what that'd do to him
Jake sent his cousin on a suicide mission to kill his brother. Shit got real near the end
dont forget, not just his cousin, but his cousin that he's been slowly learning has developed a lust for battle and blood and has started getting off on killing
You know, one of our main heroes.
I miss Animorphs.
>tfw re-reading and there's a part in one of the earlier books where rachel dismisses polar bears as an unnecessary acquisition because she already has the grizzly
And she's rright since Grizzlies are larger and stronger
Rachel had a battle lust day one. She always went out of her way to chose the larger and stronger animals as combat morphs and she practically ignored pain with that one time she beat yerks to death with her severed arm after someone shot it off
SHE STILL WOULD'VE HAD AN EASIER TIME READJUSTING TO PEACE THAN JAKE WHO CRUMBLED COMPLETELY
probably
If Rachel lives then Tobias doesn't become a depressed recluse so probably
>Grizzlies are larger and stronger
no
https://yellowstonebearworld.com/polar-bear-vs-grizzly-bear#:~:text=The%20Polar%20bear%20%E2%80%93%20also%20known,largest%20terrestrial%20flesh%2Deating%20mammal.
Polar Bears are "bigger" but grizzlies are stronger, have better claws and longer legs so they're faster. Rachel was right
Nowhere does it say they are stronger. It says they have stronger claws. Polar bears have a stronger bite force and are obstinate predators. Actually read the shit you link, fucktard.
>Grizzlies are larger and stronger
That's a lie polar bears are way bigger. The only brown bear bigger is the Kodiak. Grizzly gay.
Kodiaks are still smaller than polar bears
True
You just reveal your own ignorance
>they
No, it was just Cassie, Cassie was the only one who ever whined about things being "unethical". It was satisfying when Jake told her to shut the fuck up with her morality bullshit near the end because morality had no place in a war for survival
>colonize black girl
>tell her to shut the fuck up
Jake was based
>Colonize
Jake was a garden gnome, his last name is revealed to be Berenson in the final book
Is anyone else disappointed with how the ending of the series turned out? They did ax dirty
QRD? I forget.
All I remember is that ax got yeerk controlled in the end and the possibly got killed by jake
The ending was left to interpretation and ended in a cliff hanger
rachel dies
jake gets tried for war crimes
an ancient evil awakens and ax gets possessed(?) and has an evil mouth or something
t. has not thought about animorphs since the last book came out
Ax got absorbed by a new random villain and Jake and friends did a suicide ram against it.
Almost the entire team aside from Cassie are depressed, jake and tobias become recluse, Marco fakes it as a celebrity, Rachel is dead. Jake hears Ax has gone missing and assembles Tobias and Marco for a suicide mission in all but name. They find Ax whom has been possesed by some random new evil entity and Jake does a suicide ram
Didn't it end with hundreds of handicapped kids being killed and a division of human soldiers wiped out in an assault on a Yeerk pool ship?
This is how you fix the ending
>Visser 1's Andalite body Alloran is on redemption mission with Jake and friends except Cassie
>They hear Ax might be in trouble out there
>Steal Yeerk ship, name it Rachel
>Take off, end credits
leave out all the weird absorbing monster and Ax's confirmed death. Just leave it open ended as a new adventure they're going on.
well i didn't like that marco, who actually got a parent restored to him because of the war and bizarrely made whole again, would be willing to throw himself back into it out of sheer boredom
i would've found it more acceptable if they didn't offer cassie this consideration
but i liked a lot about it. rachel's opening/final chapter still gives me an emotional reaction even just from her doing the tired 'series recap' gimmick. and i think it's cool that visser 3's host is freed again at the end to help out when the andalites at large become just another problem for them to deal with
minimal tobias focus in the aftermath sucked, as did arbron getting unceremoniously killed off after all he suffered
>well i didn't like that marco, who actually got a parent restored to him because of the war and bizarrely made whole again, would be willing to throw himself back into it out of sheer boredom
I think he went with Jake because Jake was his best friend, he said like
>you're going to ruin my life aren't you?
when Jake came to him.
finally a thread I can get behind
>tv series instead of movie
>throw all ghost written books in the trash
>rewrite the way Marco talks entirely
>cut a lot of the teeny bop stuff
>>tv series instead of movie
yes
all ghost written books in the trash
why?
the way Marco talks entirely
why?
>>cut a lot of the teeny bop stuff
but it's kino
Including the ghost written books would make the series too long. Six seasons and a movie
I guess I don't remember which were ghost written anyway
You’re right I forgot she only picked up for the final two, I thought it was more than that
Almost all of the books from 20 to the final books
kek book 19 was the last one I read
19 was ghost written too
are you sure? i recall it only starting after the ratboy trilogy
Kree, Yeerk Human Alliance, Blue Banded Hork Bjar were all ghost written
i'm softer on the ghost writers after realizing the main author wrote the fucking starfish one
the one with all of them except cassie getting sick and her having to rescue the defecter yeerk was really good, though it's literally the only ghostwritten one i can think of that i enjoyed
VAXIMORPHS
The Clottening
N .O. Refunds
with PFIZER III being the main antagonist
8 hour art film of rachel punching me in the balls
Who would you cast?
I'd cast that asian in my cock
asian?
you just KNOW
I'm guessing this is some alternate universe where Tobias wasn't uncomfortable using his human form
it's a scene straight from the book. He liked using his human form with Rachel and spending time with her.
Gotta forgive me for not remembering then because i havent read the books in decades. I only remember the scene where Rachel asks why Tobias wont revert to a human permanently and Tobias says he doesn't want to stop fighting
I forget, is there a lore reason he has clothes as a human?
Skintight suits stay on their body when they morph and Tobias put one on the last time he morphed into his human to form
i picked these up in middle school, and dropped them when the skintight suits were introduced.
So you never read paat the first book
fanart or from that recent graphic novel project?
fanart
Ending sounds retarded. Did she intend it to be a cliffhanger thinking it would get renewed or whatever for more books?
No she did it to show that "war bad, it breaks people". She had already started a new series by that point and even had a preview in the final animorphs book
remnants? kinda okay
she thought it would be better to end things on "the fighting" because she was a retard. In reality the war ended without some final big Endgame battle, and the solution was to just share the morphing technology so Yeerks could escape their slug bodies. The ghost writers did a far better job than she ever did and she fucked up the ending.
I respect the spirit of what she was trying to do, showing kids that war isn't just "good guy, bad guy" and that the end of fighting doesnt mean an end of the effects from the fighting but she did such a shit job of it
People talk about the violence but a lot of them miss out on the fact that the team had some major psychological issues.
Rachel was a sociopath. Cassie a nacissist. Tobias was a texbook case of quiet disassociate disorder. MMarco told jokes to his his lonliness and abandonment issues and Jake was OCD
Tobias was also a racist. He always had some shit to say about other birds, like the seagulls were the morons of the bird world.
Tobias stopped considering himself a human when he found out his dad was an alien
KA Applegate smoked all the drugs when she made this series
Wonder what she’s up to now
if you're familiar/heard of 'the one and only ivan' that was her work
Shame she never made any fiction for adults, though animorphs strayed into adult territory many times
The average mulatto experience
Why stop at animals?
>retromorph to a species that went/is actively going extinct
hmm
you retards likely think T-Rex's just existed the whole time dinosaurs did and were eating stegosauruses and other 'dinosaurs' depicted in Jurassic Park not knowing they were going extinct anyway regardless of the comet
It was the aliens that got them, as foretold by KA Applegate
>Reptilian shapeshifter
>Invasion
Excuse me for being schizo
Too bad the shapeshifter is the one fighting the invasion of mind controlling slugs.
Expectations: subverted
This is the darkest YA series ever made, I’m certain of it
I still remember that scene where a woman willingly offers her own kids to be enslaved in her place because of all the PTSD she had while in a building that was burning down
Hm, I have a soft spot for young adult fiction, and I do like dark stories.
The audiobooks on YouTube are good background noise
The author must’ve dropped peyote before writing this
I’m just wondering how a book like this ever got green lit for children
If my parents understood what the fuck I was reading, they’d be horrified
I guess the 90s truly were a better time
Childrens literature was allowed to get away with more in the 80s and 90s since parents were less coddling
mine were specifically happy to see me read something that wasn't goosebumps lol, 'animal info' was an easy improvement
The things that they market to kids these days are a lot more messed up
What are some of the more fucked up parts of the series that wouldn’t nor couldn’t be adapted to screen?
you mean because of woke sensibilities or for general harshness?
Scenes that were brutal and would be uncomfortable to shoot even without woke culture
Basically anything having to do with the auxiliary morphs. It's even canon they all died by a giant laser offscreen
>offscreen
Wew, if only
That scene where the yeerks played internal politics among the vissers and took a starving tiger and had it get gunned down in graphic detail, so that one of the vissers could claim that she killed an animorph
That one scene where yeerks experimented with making their hosts take steroids to see what the limits of the human body was
I can’t remember if they had other drug abuse themes but I’m sure they did
I wouldn't want it made these days, even though the technology has finally caught up to do it well. The only way you could get a faithful version made is by dedicated fans doing it in animation.
>make them all diverse, not enough diversity in the books
>there needs to be a trans character
>the yeerks are exclusively take white racist hosts who willingly work with them
>but the yeerks are actually good guys and its the andilites who are evil
>also its not scifi anymore this is all done via magic
>70%of the cast must be Mogadishu-level black
>There needs to be a trans character
Kek wouldnt that be problematic if he had to turn into any female animal or even a female human?
>Twitter: what are you saying?? That he wasnt female to begin with?? This movie is transphobic!!!
I know this is sarcasm but the animoprhs are literally a minoriteam, there isnt a single white member and before someone brings up Jake and Rachel, they're gnomish
gnomish people can be white. What else would you call people who lived in Europe for 2000 years?
>garden gnomes can be white
Ashkenazi garden gnomes intermarried with Germans and Poles for 2000 years
If they're not European, you're not white either
Gypsies also intermarried with whites, but no European considers them white
There are no garden gnomes in my family tree.
Snakes in the grass.
Gypsies have lived in europe for centuries after migrating from India and they still aren’t considered white
Tobias is white
Tobias father is an Andalite
his human form was white
El Fangor did the same DNA mix trick that Ax did with multiple races
Thats the joke, the team would be too white now
Parasites
Tobias is literally half blue-centaur-moron. Plus I always pictured him as vaguely native american
Even as a child I hated that garden gnome they cast as ax in the show.
They are?!
c'mon. doesn't rachel have aryan features?
garden gnomes can have blonde hair and blue eyes
not really
i know there's cassie and marco but you could swap them out for a white character and mostly have an easy transition. their culture and nationality's never really given much attention.
Have Anna Kendrick and that bitch that plays Galadriel transform into rodents.
Anna Kendrick already looks like a rat haha
Instead of K.A. Applegate I’d have A.J. Applegate.
i used to pronounce applegate as app-le-gate
Dumb fuck. I had a friend who pronounced Tobias as Toby-us
That would make you le-retarded
Bonjorno, you cheese eating surrender monkey
>Forgets to turn back tramped as hawk
>Forgets how to be human eats mice and other animals
>Fall in love with a female hawk
>Your crush doesn't understand and pretends you're normal
>Get jealous she's flirty with teammates
>Find out that your dead dad was an alien this entire time
>Get given the gift to turn human for 2 hours
>Instead of banging your crush like a chad you complain the whole time
>Your crush is killed at the hands of the aliens
>Spend the rest of your days as a hawk eating mice
Name a character which suffered more.
He didn't forget, he was trapped and couldnt move until long after the 2 hour limit
You don't need cgi use cronenberg practical effects.
Which book was your favorite one /misc/?
fun fact, the Andalites in the cover art and tv show don't match the book descriptions. They're never described as centaurs, but just horses. They're not supposed to have like human upper bodies at all.
That totally ruins the image I had in my head
>fun fact
Shove it up your neo pussy your chud cock sucking filth.
It's mentioned multiple times they have human torsos and human hands with seven fingers
have a nice day tumblr chud
someone describe what the fuck the deal with this series
there's like 500 books
how do you even read that much of one series?
You see we aren't retarded gay zoomers. That's how. Now fuck off or just have a nice day.
Each book takes about an hour and a half to two hours to read. There are only 54 main series books, and 10 side stories. How illiterate are you that wouldn't be able to demolish the entire thing in less then a month?
Marcos would be gay.
