OH YEAH!

I forgot 51 too. But yeah, the duck thing would fit well.

I guess I should probably reread 47 and 51 to refresh my memory. I could remember things about all the others.

Hehehe...TV Tropes is so damn addicting.  Just had to get that off my chest  ;D

How about renaming the title of the series?  Instead of "Animorphs" it could be..."Idiot Kids With A Death Wish Tearing Throats From Aliens With Their Teeth"...yeah, that would've gone over well with the censors...  ::)

"Trash Can Hatred" made me crack up so badly. That was always my favourite joke of the series. Thanks!

That's the truth though...

You'd think that sometime during the books, someone would have the skill to hit a large land mammal running straight towards them, or at the very least, get lucky sometime over the course of three years. They're worse than Stormtroopers!
 
I see why for the plot, and I see that they can demorph after the fight. Still, an Animorph that's severely wounded might only be capable of slow movement, or stand still. It can't be long before someone takes repeat shots to the head or vitals. True, they wanted them alive, but still. The controller's aim can't be that bad.

I agree though. It really depressed me to see Visser Three decay. In the beginning, his mere presence threatened death, and they basically ran no matter what. His voice was menacing on its own. Yet, he became an incompetent boob. If we really needed a comic relief villain, make a new one. Have Visser Five randomly appear, and be the lowly subordinate to V3.

It depends on what exactly they hit. Jake was hit in the head when he was in rhino form, I seem to recall. But I acknowledge your point. Still, there's a big difference between 'can't hit the body at all' and 'can't hit the head of a probably fast moving target generally running at you with teeth the size of combat knives'

even so, there are 1000s of them, with at least 20 per encounter and at least 54 encounters throughout the series, you would assume that one of them could even get lucky. also, if the andalite bandits were so annoying to visser 3, why didnt he just infest sharpshooter or a hunter, wouldnt be too hard

Yes.

ONE.


And I don't know about the rest of you, but starting around book nine or so, Visser Three's <thought speak> voice in my mental narratives started to sound suspiciously like Tim Curry.

And then he magically goes back to being intelligent and crafty in the Chronicles.

Yeah, okay.
