What if Scholastics handed you the rights to Animorphs?

[goom]

definitely get rid of most of the filler-books. (imp/rem)rove alternamorphs.

oh yeah and the alternamorphs. forgot about those. Definitely (with a capital D) need to improve those, starting with, go to a page, instead of a chapter (I mean how are we supposed to know which page the chapter is on?)

also, if i had the rights to animorphs, i'd start remaking the show. (so it was actually GOOD)

[Dameg]

I wouldn't rewrite the books, but a movie, a TV show, YEAH! or audiobooks, or translations or a role-playing game, or a webcomic... hey wait! we're already doing that! lol

We dont need permission do we! mauahahaha.

[Chad32]

We'd need permission to do a movie or something like that, assuming we would stick to the books. Not sure about all of those.

[wildweathel]

Permission would be good to get.  As it stands, they can shut down any of the projects with a single letter.

[esplin]

If they havent done it yet we can assume they havent noticed.  Which is why I would encourage people to keep these projects centralized around RAF itself.

[wildweathel]

Not necessarily.  We can assume that: if noticed we don't represent a commercial threat large enough to justify the legal department's time and the potential negative press.  A subtle difference, yet a difference.

I'd have the ending re-done.

[Starsword]

After thinking about it, out of all of those family members. Out of 11 family members that I can think of, only two were controllers the majority of the time? And what happened to Rachel's dad? I liked him and he kind of drifted off.

[Chad32]

That does seem kind of weird. It would be cool if, during book 49 where they rescue their families, one of Cassie's parents turns out to be a controller. Her mom may be more likely, since she works in the Gardens. Infested to help monitor the Gardens, where the Andalites seem to be getting their morphs.

[Starsword]

Precisely, I thought the same thing when I read 49. I was expecting one of the family members to go nuts, cassies family actually, because Marco's dad was too depressed initially for the yeerks to notice and the whole having to fake kill him, Rachel's mom was too obvious, and I figured Cassie's mom would be a Gardens observer.

[Chad32]

I could see it happening in a couple of ways.

1) She walks off all casual to get a gun, or something to shoot. A tranquilizer gun would work, or a regulear firearm. Then she turns and confesses that she is a controller. She may even calmly explain why Cassie's mother was infested, and ask questions like how Cassie got morphing ability. She may also comment on how all those times Cassie went to spend the night at Rachel's must have been a front.

2) She plays along to see where everyone is going, then attempts to leave the Valley and alert the Visser. Saying she's going exploring or something, so hopefully no one gets suspicious that she's gone.

I would opt for her not being in the peace movement. That would be kind of anticlimactic. Might also be anticlimactic if her Yeerks is the cool and calm type under pressure.

[Starsword]

Choice 1 is too James Bond, but I could see choice 2, although any voluntary consultation with the Visser seems like a bad idea. Being in the peace movement is way too fairy tale ending.

[Chad32]

I agree that her being in the peace movement would be too fairy tale ending. It would make me think "Ok, then what's the point?"

Option 1 is too James Bond? Is that a bad thing?

[Starsword]

No, I mean that a "bad" character asking for the enemy to explain their actions before they are supposed to be killed seems very cliche
