I won't say he's underdeveloped but Tobias was the Animorph we least knew and related to the most.
I think I liked The Illusion so much because we actually got a glimpse into Tobias really was than any other book. Even Ax was less of an enigma to us then Tobias was.
-
Tobias didn't exactly have a personal life (due to being trapped in morph) so I guess that made it seem like the only time we saw him was on missions or doing something connected to the war. He didn't really have a family anyway and spent a lot of time on his own or hanging out with Ax when they weren't on a mission, so we didn't really see him unwind after a mission like we saw with the other human Animorphs. Ax and Tobias didn't have a home to go to, but Ax talked about Andalite things a lot so maybe that's why you feel like Ax was less of an enigma.
Although I understand what you're saying, I think I identified with Tobias quite well. To me, all the Animorphs had a part of their personality that I identified with, which is one of the reasons I liked the characters so much.

I just wish we had more background on Tobias. I really loved #33 because it gave us a small taste, but otherwise it was just that his life sucks.
-
yea thats all we got to really see about him, but i think it was alot even though it was only a few glimpses they were good ones due to the situation
-
Yeah I did enjoy #33 for the same reason. It was nice seeing some flashes of his life, especially the few pleasant ones. It was also cool seeing flashes of Elfangor's memories.
-
yeah its definatly in the top 5 of the regular books for me
-
I didn't really like #33 that much. The part with the flashes of memory started to confuse me.
-
Everything confuses you, Morfowt.
-
what's your point?
-
My point is is that you're a... I have no interest in getting banned again today so I'll stop here and just let you know that I was planning on saying something REALLY mean to you.
-
Wow. Classy.
-
ah ok. it's a good thing you didn't say it then. I wouldn't have cared and you'd probably get banned.
-
I wouldn't have cared...
Nope. You just would't have understood.
See ya.
-
I wouldn't have cared...
Nope. You just wound't have understood.
hmm...well yeah that too. but even if I did understood, I wouldn't care because I don't care what other people call me as long as I feel good about myself.
-
Yorick, you don't have to make fun of morfowt everytime he gets confused by something. And morfowt, you should know not to provoke Yorick.
Back to the topic, I can understand not liking #33 (even though I did) as it was the kind of book that might bore you if you weren't interested in character development. Personally I found it to be really interesting, plus we get to see Ax and Tobias bond more when Tobias is practicing his Andalite morph (that was a funny scene!)

Good for you. More people should be that way.
-
stay on topic plz
-
oh right sorry.

I never really thought I didn't care about character development, but the more I think about, the more I think you're sort of right.

My point is is that you're a... I have no interest in getting banned again today so I'll stop here and jsut let you knowq that I was palnning on saying something REALLY mean to you.
Yorrik..why!?
back on topic
i think we got to know Tobias just as much as we got to know the other Animorphs. he didn't really have a personal life both before, durring, or after the war but at the same time we were still able to learn more about him and his personality as the story progresses.
