Why didnt the andalites just give the yeerks to become nothlits in the beginning? Just thought that would be a solution to the whole problem.. except that some yeerks would have to stay in order to keep breeding and stuff..
The Andalites had their whole pride thing going on...
But this idea, that THE ONLY LONG-TERM SOLUTION was to have the Yeerks be free of their parasitic form, took me a while to get used to as the series concluded. I understand what was at stake and the circumstances of that stage in the Animorphs' war, but in truth, I don't actually accept it as THE ONLY solution.
I was always surprised why Cassie, the nature philosopher, would be the one pushing for this option. If we apply this lesson to real life, who were they to change the natural order of things?!
Personally, I would ask them (Jake or the Andalites) WHY they didn't just re-locate the captured Yeerk prisioners to their Homeworld, which is meant to be under Andalite control anyway. Wouldn't this be the most appropriate solution?!?!?!?!?!
...Speaking of using the morphing tech for war, i wonder why the andalites never seemed to use it much. The visser seems to have all these sick morphs, that if the andalites had a trained army of, they would be unstoppable.
Yeah, Ax himself stated that Morphing was not meant to be used for war situations, mostly spy assignments.
It was the Visser first, as the Abomination, who began treating the technology differently and for evil purposes. Then the Animorphs, showing how it's REALLY done in a range of different ways.
