Most hypocritical animorph

[rocklobster]

Which Animorph do you think is the most hypocritical?  I thought of this after finishing re-reading #28.  I'm actually surprised Cassie was called a hypocrite by Drode.  I mean, she's no more hypocritical than the rest of us.  There are some situations that actually require violence.

But she's the most moral extreme of the bunch. Everyone's a hypocrite from time to time, but to me, Cassie sticks out more than the others. Though Rachel is a bit hypocritical when it comes to appearances. How can she say looks aren't important, then place so much value and time in clothes shopping and styles? That's pretty much her lifestyle.

Cassie always annoyed me. I see her as weak. I don't think she did anything worse than anyone else. But you're right about her sticking out.
I don't remember that book, ill look later, but maybe Crayak says things that he know is going to get to you.

[esplin]

Chad is right about rachel, I always wondered that -.-

CASSIE

even ax said she was a hypocrite at some point

and yeah lol it's just like a pretty person to say "Ugh people say I am beautiful but it doesn't really matter to me BUT OMG ISN'T THIS TOP I BOUGHT JUST LIKE SO CUTE???"

but it was such a minor part of her character that I could forgive it. Cassie, on the other hand, at least in retrospect, seems defined by her hypocrisy.

I'm like Rachel like that. I would like to pretend I don't care about what people think about me, but I do.
We have to sound like were uber tough

There's nothing wrong with that, it's human nature.

But I agree about it in Rachel's case. In almost every single book she says something about "looks don't matter" or "people say I'm pretty, but I don't care, it's what's inside that counts", yet in almost every single book she's always telling Cassie to go shopping, or to stop wearing overalls and highwaters. I always wondered why no one ever called her on that...

[Chad32]

Because they were afraid of making her angry. Besides, it's not a huge thing. Not like Cassie's issue, where anything and everything could be screwed over if it risks staining Cassie's conscious. Above all, at the end of the day, she has an obsessive need to feel good about herself.

[Liz]

Yeah, I'd definitely say Cassie is more hypocritical than Rachel.  Hey, I like shopping and clothes and stuff cause it's fun, but I have the same answer as Rachel if you asked me if looks were really important. xD

What was it the Drode said?  "Violence is wrong...except when it's not" or something.  You get that a lot with Cassie.

[goom]

to me, cassie is the most hypocritical.

[filmstu2005]

oh please. cassie did what she had to do without losing her sanity. its not like she didnt pull her own weight when it came down to it. sh preached against violence but had moments of realizing it was sometimes needed.

That's how I felt.

In a way, all of them were hypocritical, consistently, in some way.

Like when Marco told Rachel she should've let that little boy die (in the Alligator pit at the zoo, when she got sick), yet in book 3 he morphed Gorilla to save that man from getting robbed. Or that time Jake morphed into a dog with Marco to go see some concert, yet when anyone else does it, he jumps down there throat. Tobias might be the only exception here.

Cassie felt bad about the things she had to do, but she did them anyway. Maybe her crazy ideals are what kept her sane, because she was the only one who lived, as PG as this sounds, Happily Ever After.

[rocklobster]

Happily ever after?  PLEASE!  It only would've been happy if she actually married Jake!

[Mira]

This was a difficult one really. I actually had to read all the posts before I could vote. I finally decided to vote for Rachel anyway.

[Chad32]

That's a load of BS. Ax and Marco could have been very happy. Jake and Tobias could have found happiness eventually, if they really tried and had enough support. These people were far too young, and had far too much, for any of them to have gone their entire lives depressed and whatnot. Not after just three years of war.
