If you could change one thing in the series......
« on: January 25, 2009, 03:13:28 AM »
If you could change one thing in the Animorphs, what would it be? I think the ending should change. It's impossable that after three-four years of fighting together, none of the animorphs ever kept in touch. The ending is too rushed as well. KA covers three years in bk54! I would definitely change the ending. What would you change? P.S- You can write about more than one thing that u wanna change, it doesn't matter.

I probably wouldn't change the ending (unless KA consented to it), I would just make it longer and more detailed.

I would make book #54 about the size of a HP book, lol.

I'd make David a returning villain and have him cause some serious trouble for the Animorphs.
YOU'RE WINNER !

I'm not even going to mention the ending aside from this sentence. Too many things there to list.

David returning as a main villain. Do something better with the auxilaries, the Yeerk Peace Movement, and Loren. Or just leave Loren out of the later part of the series altogether, as she seemed to serve no real purpose. Maybe give Cassie her own unique battle morph, and not make her the special pet of the series. Not have one of Rachel's sides overshadow the other, since her having two sides is what I like most about her character. Make Mellissa a more important character. change the Megamorphs so that three out of four don't deal with time in some way.

If she re-wrote the series and did all those changes, I swear I would buy all 54 books again. Also, if she changed it to a YA (assuming Scholastic would let her).

I'd rather it stick to it's roots as a children's books. I forgot to mention not making it darker in the last books. Keeping it light throughout. Yeah it's a war, but it doesn't have to be heavy on the dark parts. The entire series seems to have suffered in a similar way that rachel did. Over time it became darker, when at first it was balanced.

That's true

As for what I would change? Idk, I'd probably make it to YA and make it not-so-dark :P

But I dunno, everyone else pointed out what I would like to be changed in the series

Well, the main reason I think she should change it to YA is so she would have more freedom to do whatever she wants. I feel that NO author should be restricted in their own world (by that, I mean their own work).

Plus, we wouldn't have to hear quotes like "Visser Three is a big jerk!", everytime I read something like that I actually laugh. It kind of seems a little........out of place.

Okay almost all of us agree that david returning is a must.
I personally would continue the series and make sure we actually know what that [spoiler]"one who is all" crap actually is[/spoiler]

We must extract the truth from this unbeliever on pain of torture! Get...THE COMFY CHAIR!

I would eliminate Nora. I felt bad for her.
Until then we fight.

I would make book #54 about the size of a HP book, lol.

I agree.
YA and darker for me ;)
And more about auxiliaries, Yeerk peace movement.
At the end, more explanations about what happened for the Andalites, the Humans, the Yeerks and the Hork-Bajirs after the war, about the Humans who were hosts and had the morphing power! Yeah, a much longer end... maybe the size of the biggest HP book ^^'

EXACTLY!

I'd KILL to get KA to re-write the last book. Even if she didn't change the story (but if she did, I'd definetly have no objections), just make it a huge book. Maybe for the 10th anniversary for the Animorphs ending? Does anyone know how KA would feel about this?

I wouldn't have minded if they made 54 at least as big as the MM books, or bigger, and made it an official Megamorphs. for such a grand series, the last book should probably be emmense.
