Totally Random Animorphs Thoughts

[scherzando]

I was reading something to my dad about his work and there was this list of people...

One of the guy's names was Ax.

Sweeeet.

So I was talking to my brother about a Digimorphs crossover, and this came up:

"Jakemon digivolve to...TIGERMON!"

And for Pokemorphs crossover, he said how they would only speak their names just like the Pokemon do.

"JAKEJAKEJAKEJAKE!"

I was laughing so hard I was crying.  It wasn't even that funny. xD

[Starsword]

So here I am and there are some people who have been over for like 2 1/2 days. So I thought of Ben Franklin's "Fish and guests smell after three days." Maybe they need Kandrona.

[Liz]

I can't believe I never made that connection...

I had a dream the other night about Animorphs, it was like I was in a TV show.  It was animated and looked kind of like the Magic School Bus show.  Heh.

If they did make an animated show, I'd prefer something similar to A:tlA myself.

An animated show woulda probably gone better. I like the idea of them modeling after WITCH myself, maybe not the guys though. I hate it when cartoons go for the stereotypical buff guy and curvy girls - even when the girls are like twelve

You bring up a valid point here, Uza-chan.
On the topic, with superheroes, I find this kind of depiction to be fitting. The protagonists HAVE to look interesting and dynamic in one way or another to make them likeable to the viewer/reader. Even if the characters are in their teens.
But the thing with the Animorphs is that WE KNOW they are meant to be AVERAGE 13 year old American teenagers.
And this is where I, too, struggle to depict them. In a nutshell, my characters NEVER end up looking like they're 13. Nghaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr gh!

[Uza-chan]

Don't forget about the fact that the bad guys always look butt ugly 

[Gafrash]

Yeah, it's all stereotypes, I know.
The issue is having the skill to depict average everyday people, exciting enough for the reader to engage in a visual medium.

So I was going to kill time with a computer game, asked the computer "Shall we immerse?" and then realized I should come here instead.

[Uza-chan]

So, like on Sunday, my kid brother got sick with God-knows-what and started throwing up every where, very icky! But it didn't take long for whatever the hell it was to spread to the rest of the family. And like, everyone's throwing up except like me and my parents. So, even though I should be all worries and stuff for my siblings, I just keep thinking "wow, I hope I'm like Cassie and end up being the only who's not sick" XD

Coincidentally, I finished reading the book where every one of the animorphs get sick minus Cassie just minutes before my brother started throwing up

don't know why but for some reason I think to myself yesterday

Whatever city the Animorphs live in is ridiculous.
Two teenage boys should not be able to enter, and escape, a tiger exhibit unidentified when there are people around.
simply ridiculous

agreed.

[Starsword]

I also wondered how they can live so close to the city, but still live near a farm. What happened to suburbia?

[Mr. Guy36]

I just thought of this.

awesome.
