Rumor has it, that an Animorphs 2.0 might be in the works...with Scholastic!

The danger would still have to be on Earth I think. The fun of Animorphs was partly the guerilla war played out in a normal American setting.

I think the thing to keep in mind is, if there IS an Animorphs 2.0 about half of us will hate it, half of us will love it and there will be a million threads dedicated to tearing it apart or raising it up.

Probably. But I would really love to see Animorphs back in the spotlight.

I'm liking the 2.0 idea less and less the more I think about it (particularly the idea of a rewrite--"if it ain't broke don't fix it," you know).  I agree it would be nice to see Animorphs back in the spotlight, but I won't be disappointed if it never happens.

But visiting this place again just to see more never-ending whining about ghostwriters, book 54 and KA is pretty grating...

I agree so much. -_-

dude! +1 totally +1

you really need to post more often

well said, +1 dan.

[esplin]

getting back to the topic at hand...

Um, agreed.  I hate reading walls of text that have NOTHING to do with the topic, theres a million threads to for the argument about the end of the book.

But it is broke, Liz, it is broke. And I'm not just talking about the ending. Too much character focus on the Anis, when so many other interesting factions are introduced. Horrible villain decay for V3. Just for starters.

I wish they would republish it.  Then I could buy all the bewks new

Can you imagine the surge of 8-12 year olds we'd have? I like the younger members we have now, but if we had scads of them joining, that would severely change the quality of RAF.

pff we could just seperate RAF into a 16+ RAF and an everybody RAF

I remember you advocating for new members...
If they redo animorphs at all we should expect a rise in memberships.  So if that's something we don't want then ANI2.0 is not gonna be all that awesome XD

If there is an Animorphs 2.0 I would want a heavier focus on the alien species. I find the most fascinating characters not the Animorphs themselves, but the Yeerks and the Andalites and the Hork-Bajir (etc). If they continue along the series linearly, I think it would be interesting to show how Earth reacts to alien species. You know not everyone will be interested in accepting them.

There are a few young members. I actually am a teenager. From what I have gathered the lowest age that I have confermed on this site is eleven.

The animmorphs 2.0 is going to be either a complete bowlderization that will make the old series look alot better or it will just be set in modern times. The more controll the author has the better because the more controll she has the less likely schoolastic will make it a money making series with cheap merchandise.

I think applegate is alot more carefull about that now I have never seen any merchandise from everworld, or desendents (forgive my falty memory if wrong).

Animorphs 2 has great potential lets just hope applegate is more assertive this time around.

In regards to a very old post, I was unaware of the ghostwriters as well, that's what pissed me off about the ending.

Well, in her letter, it sounds as though Schoolastic has most of the power. I just hope KA has all of the creativity rights.

The series would suffer hugely if KA had a small role in the 2.0 series. Like if they decided to continue Star Wars, and created ep. 7, 8, etc, and didn't include George? Those movies would suck nuts.

Agreed, Agreed, Agreed.

I supposed I could deal with the direction of the ending (if only one thing, it is powerful), I just wish it was more......for lack of a better word, complete.

But, back on topic, wouldn't new members be a good thing? Again, I'm all for Animorphs being in the spotlight again. Toy Story came out 15 years ago, and next year they are releasing Toy Story 3, I'll be 22; but I'll still see it because it was such a big thing to me when I was a kid. Animorphs can definitely make a comeback, if done correctly.

If it's a continuation, I expect Rachel to appear in some way, shape, or form. Seems only right....

I will admit to watching the sequel to...Bambi. ~20 years after I saw the first one. I liked it. It had references to the original.
