Maybe she started out having Marco be the buttmonkey of the group, but then decided to let the others have their turn from time to time.

Maybe is was irony, the one that wanted to be in the group the least got the most punishment.

"Haha! That's what you get for complaining!"

Then that works out, because once Marco found out about his mother, he was determined to stay as an Animorph.

True, but it didn't stop him from complaining. haha!


Did he ever find his mom as V1 in the TV show? I refuse to watch anymore of it.

yeah, I think there was an episode like that. Jake and marco stole the Blade Ship to get away from the Pool Ship. In the TV Show, Blade Ships are the size of Bug Fighters.

I don't really consider the show to have much to do with the series. It was basically designed to use the premise and names, and change most everything else.

Still, I found Marco's complaining to be funny. For the vast majority of the time, he did it in good humor or as a joke, because it's expected of him (similar to Rachel's 'Let's do it!').

Still think that's grasping at straws a little.  Okay, Marco had a rough time the first few books, it probably wasn't intentional.  Just worked out that way.

Yay, Aloth came around!

That's all I'm saying too, I don't think it was intentional, but early on he did seem to get hurt more first. But it more than balances out throughout the series.

I mentioned that earlier in this thread. And it was indeed with Rachel. She used her severed grizzly arm as a club. Pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.


Wait..? How is that even possible? I'm fairly sure bears do not have opposable thumbs... How would she have grabbed her own arm?

I recently started a reread of the series and was actually thinking the other day that Marco seemed to get the worst of the wounds at the start of the series.

It's not. But it was in a fairly implausible book to begin with. Mean Rachel did the arm-beating in #32 The Separation.

Luckily its almost impossible to kill a ****roach :)

At least if u do sever every single part of its body. But even then, it still might survive. Who knows...
