Title: Ax not an Animorph?? :/
Post by: Andalite_Shorm on July 02, 2011, 11:21:54 AM: I just noticed how the Animorphs keep referring to themselves as 'four kids and a hawk- the animorphs, and one andalite.' (or something along those lines
And the blurb tends to say something like 'now the animorphs and ax...'
Is Ax not considered an Animorph or something?? :o

Post by: RYTX on July 02, 2011, 11:25:22 AM: Now obviously he's part of the team, but the term is pretty much used for humans that turn into animals. Plus there's a potential conflict of Ax being an Animorph since he is part of the Andalite military.
So yeah, while's he's "one of them" he is not one of them, spare rare occassions, in name

Post by: VisserZer0 on July 03, 2011, 03:10:15 PM: I think he said somewhere that he didn't consider himself an Animorph because he was actually what the Yeerks thought the Animorphs were--an Andalite bandit.

Post by: Blazing Angel on July 03, 2011, 08:07:32 PM: what does that have to do with anything?
Title: Re: Ax not an Animorph?? :/
Post by: TobiasMasonPark on July 04, 2011, 09:03:19 AM: The Animorphs were a human based guerilla group. Ax wasn't human. He's an Andalite and in the Andalite military. While he sees the Animorphs as his friends, he doesn't consider him to be an Animorph.

Post by: SuperBlue on July 04, 2011, 03:49:07 PM: Didin't Ax refer to himself as in Animorph in one book though? I may be mistaken but I could have sworn he did.
Title: Re: Ax not an Animorph?? :/
Post by: Blazing Angel on July 04, 2011, 05:10:03 PM: Yeah
Title: Re: Ax not an Animorph?? :/

Title: Re: Ax not an Animorph?? :/

what's "and zoiberg"?

a TV trope where there's a group and there's a certain person who's in the group that is singled out as if he isn't. Often(but clearly not always) used as an insult or for comedic effect when dealing with a member of a group that isn't well liked or useless compared to the other members. Example: "The Animorphs and Ax" or "My friend's and Zoidberg" or "It's three on three plus Sokka."

Post by: DinosaurNothlit on July 04, 2011, 08:52:45 PM: I'm pretty sure it was only ever the outside covers of the books that ever referred to "the Animorphs and Ax." Within the books themselves, as far as I know, he was always treated as an Animorph except for the times that he would alienate himself.

A good example is the fact that, on the outside cover of #48, David is referred to as "the sixth Animorph" whereas whenever he has been mentioned within the actual books he was called "the seventh Animorph." Obviously KA was counting Ax and Scholastic (who writes what appears on the book covers) wasn't.

And if you want my own personal opinion on the matter, Ax is an Animorph. He's a part of the group, I don't care if he isn't human.
Title: Re: Ax not an Animorph?? :/
Post by: SuperBlue on July 04, 2011, 09:20:42 PM: Yeah. Ax has definitely earned the title of "Animorph" much more than David has. In fact David was basically an "Animorph by association"
Title: Re: Ax not an Animorph?? :/
Post by: Blazing Angel on July 04, 2011, 09:23:28 PM: If its by association visser three might as well be one
Title: Re: Ax not an Animorph?? :/
Post by: SuperBlue on July 04, 2011, 09:28:10 PM: Well David was about as much an Animorph as Visser 3. The only difference was David had no parents and Visser 3 had David's parents lol

Post by: Blazing Angel on July 04, 2011, 09:29:48 PM: Ok that sentence just seems a little weird at first glance
