The books mentioned a lot how morphing felt super hosed up, like it should be agonizing but there's no pain, just your bones and organs and poo poo stretching and popping into place. I think that was worse than the violence to me. Also there's a Goosebumps movie being made where the monsters from the books become real and R.L. Stine's daughter has to stop them or something.

Megera posted:The Ellimist gave Tobias the power to morph again, and then took Tobias back in time to meet himself and reabsorb his human DNA. Now I'm trying to remember if that happened in the Ellimist Chronicles, or one of the regular books I also vaguely remember the plot to one of the earlier books, where the team destroyed some sort of emitter on top of a skyscraper that supplied the secret underground Yeerk regeneration pools for the region with their energy or something, it was implied that thousands of Yeerks died. Jake venting 100,000 of them into space later on is pretty cool.

Here's a blog that reviewed the entire series: http://cinnamonbunzuh.blogspot.com/ Also, the Ellimist Chronicles is the best one. It's the tale of how a goony space bird became a spaceship and then got sucked into a black hole and became God

Did anyone else lose interest when it was revealed that Elfangor was Tobias' father from a time where he visited Earth, in the past, and knocked up a human he inadvertently went back in time with in one of the spinoff books? Because that's when I decided to stop reading because that was just too much for me to handle and years later when I re-read the books there were like 4-5 more moments where I would have dropped out.

Tender Bender posted:I found it, it's called Mindwarp. Doesn't even have a Wikipedia page but it does have some rad 90's as gently caress covers with silver foil effects: I read a few of those, but never finished the series. Couldn't find a torrent, and too cheap to buy them ob Amazon. Oh well

That was in the Andalite Chronicles, which owned because Elfangor got a sports car and thought it was badass as gently caress. Oh but his buddy got stuck in Taxxon form and Elfangor had to slash him in the face to get him to gently caress off, that kinda sucked.

It always struck me as so dumb that the Andalite's are all super uptight about handing out advanced tech to un-advanced races because of some constantly alluded to but never explained thing in their culture (Seerow's Kindness? been forever don't remember the name). Of course part way through the series there's a big reveal that the Andalite's were the one's who gave the Yeerks their space faring technology and have vowed to never again... blah blah blah you get it. But Christ what did they expect? They find a race of creatures that can literally only function as a parasite at the expense of a mind controlled host and act all surprised when they start going around mind controlling things. Like here's an idea Andalites, nuke the mind control bugs from orbit, gently caress off to some other place and make friends with some species who doesn't require a mind slave to function. Also Yeerks must have some god-like ability to process and analyze information since having one in your head is described as them trawling through your memories with you watching on helplessly, but at a few different points someone gets a Yeerk in their head and is then being mind-controlled flawlessly like 2 seconds later. Like wouldn't it take some time for the Yeerk to replicate the host's personality? Some time to examine all the memories and create a reasonable facsimile of the host?  about books I read in middle school...

The last, what, five Animorph books were mad hosed up. Like, poo poo got super real and lots of people died and the ending is one of the world's biggest dick punches and clearly the product of an author who no longer gives a poo poo because she is writing about teenagers boning mythological deities.

In one of the books they talk about how it wasn't really "the Andalites" that gave Yeerks technology, it was one specific Andalite, and they all think he as a moron and is no the biggest shame to their race for being so stupid.

Ooooooh, so this thread is why I've been seeing a bunch of people mention this series lately. Wondered why. I think we're just a couple years off from tv sfx reaching the level to do a series for this show, I think it could work. just loving do it, kids love dumb YA adaptations. ...PETA might flip out though when they constantly have to show animals getting ripped into pieces. god drat
