Thoughts on the ending

[Chad32]

doesn't tom bite her eyes before rachel hits his back? and I doubt there would've been much force in that hit.

No, she lays his back open (I think that's how the book puts it), and he starts turning into something reptilian. Later she feels something sprayed into her eyes and eventually feels him biting her face.

[morfowt]

what? hold on I'm looking that up.

ok... what happened was:

A flash of movement, so fast it was a blur.
Something in my eyes! Burning. I couldn't see.
That's okay, okay, bears can't see alt that well
anyway, I had . . . I had . . .

so Tom bit her eyes before she even touched tom. actually she never even touched tom until she was about to deliver the killing blow (or bite).

[CounterInstinct]

She touched the human Tom, but still, morphing repairs all injuries. Only Rachel could be sent for Tom. Why? If Jake sent more Animorphs to the Blade ship, it would be sending those with Rachel to doom. I mean, better one death than mulitple deaths right?

Plus, If he asked Cassie or Tobias to come with Rachel, they would definitely not approve of this part of the plan, ruining it all. The diversion had to realistic too, to make Visser believe that it was a full force attack, not suspecting the Animorphs were already inside.

Rachel already did good. She HAD experience, so she got an almost par fight with 5 morph capable humans. 5 vs 1. There even was a polar bear there. Not even Rachel could defeat them all.

Not that I don't support you, but they'll never buy that.

[CounterInstinct]

Well, Jake admitted that "That" plan was not really a plan... but it miraculously worked out.

After the Yeerks get the morphing power they mention a few times that many of them are obviously clueless about what to do. I'm not going to believe that someone with years of fighting experience can't take down 5 people who don't have that experience.

I also think going in as elephant would've been a smart thing to do.

[CounterInstinct]

they didn't have experience as a human, but they were predator morphs. The Animals knew a lot about fighting. Lioness, yes. Polar bear, yes. Bull, oh yes. Snake? Not really, but it must be a no-brainer. Ax used it once and he found that it was easy to control. Same with Marco.

i really liked the last book, but didn't like the cliffhanger.

the last chapter(s) was unneeded, the book was a bittersweet ending.

ok i have been reading all these forums since i read everworld and got screwed out of another ending by this woman.Basiclly shes just not a good writer thats why there wont be anymore animorphs because shes a woman with good ideas who cant write.

[Nateosaurus]

Whoa oh oh! Did you just say KA CANT WRITE?! 

[acdc00420]

shes cant write she is not and will never be a writer shes just a wanna-be with some good ideas and i doubt she even thought of most of them if she couldnt think of an ending better than that.
i hate to burst bubbles but thats why there arent anymore animorphs despite the fact people are still talking about them.because scholastic knows she cant write they probaly have bags of hate mail because of this woman and than she tries to put the ending off on us saying its a war blah blah it aint suppose to be a happpy ending.NO its not is a SCIENCE FICTION SERIES for CHILDREN  you stupid woman dont make up excuses because your lazy and childish for that matter excuses why you cant write is all they are she doesnt deserve a penny for all those books i would rob her if i knew how to find her.she owes an ending i read these books a long time and paid for the majority and i was ripped off.writers arent suppose to write books for them selves im a comedian and im not gonna tell jokes that just suit me and forget everyone else "i can" but I DONT GET PAID and neither should she. and as far as if you dont like the ending write it yourself i say we should find another K.A. from fanfics RAF can do ti see them do alot of things here,they really do. i can get scholastics mailing addresses and email and well bombard them until we get the animorphs back hell they can throw the stupid B**** name on there still i dont care as long as it has and ending where it ends or at least goes on through more books and it it too much to ask to make sense??? huh anyone with me on that.and im getting the addresses and anyone who will write or read fanfics to send in,write letters basiclly help me harrass them till we get what we want let me know cause im not takeing that and im send K.A. soooooooooooo much hate mail i dont need help with that lol

...I'm not sure you'll make a lot of friends here...sure there are people who didn't like the ending, but I can't recall any who said/would say she couldn't write...

anyway, no I am not with you. I actually happen to like the ending very much, except that cassie didn't go with them in the end...but that's a different matter...

[Chad32]

Now don't say KA can't write. And please use paragraphs and better grammar, so we can more easily read what you say.

She was a great writer. She just can't make good endings. What she does is end a series when she gets tired of it, and the fact that she's tired of it is why her endings turn to crap. There is a minority of people who liked the Animorphs ending. Even I liked parts of the ending.

When she's into what she writes, she's excellent. When she isn't, she gets ghostwriters that screw some things up, and makes an ending that most of her fans hate. She can make excuses about it being a war, and it needs to be realistic, even though it's a fictional series directed at children. The fans that liked all or most of the ending can make excuses that the majority of her fans were not true fans, even though I'm one of the truest fans out here and I hated most of it.

Heck, I'll bet Harry Potter was directed at kids and most kids probably enjoyed the happy ending.

shes cant write

Well now, ain't that the kettle calling the coffee black...or... something like that...yeah...

[RYTX]

I'm sorry, that who rant made me laugh.
I never got into her writings out of Animorphs, so I can't say about the other stuff but:
1-Animorphs was not poorly written (least not the stuff by her hand)
2-If she's so bad, why read her stuff, lord knows no one is forcing you

For this ending, I was one of those who hated it at first, though 5 rereads later, I see it as being more than what was on the paper. Either way it brings the story to a close, or allows fans to continue on as they please. Some of the best ff begin right after that last line
And it's not coming back because, first off Animorphs is time sensitive. Changes in technology, culture and events would bar it from now being what it was; plus have the appeal of the series is they were kids. Having it them now, with them as heroes in their 20's; the secerts out, it can be there whole lives, it's not that huge element of having to be a hero.
And what's more, is they are not bringing it back because....it's done. There is no need for it to come back. Of course you could; but why? It's like how Harry Potter is done, yes she can do more people are clammering for more, but who want's to read "Harry Potter and the Ministry Application Test"?
It didn't have to end, but it did, and like it or not, it works

And why would you deliberately try and annoy someone who provide you something to do for years, at only $4.99 a month? that's just bloody rude
