I bought some of the later ones off of ebay. I saw the Disney rage, I am with you. Then again, Steve Jobs owns most of Disney...so he owns Marvel?

*also didn't read all of the posts*

A rumor like this....
No. Not an rewrited ending anymore. Maybe a story with new casts and old cast cameo, but no messing with the old ending. Our memories just doesn't work like that.

I think I can repress those old memories well enough if they make a really good new ending.  ;D

Without having read all 13 pages of posts, I'd like to try and tackle some of the stuff in this thread.

A) Get over the original ending already please everyone. It may have been a little rushed but it was a fitting ending. It was a war. People die while othere lose their minds because of it. It's not always pretty.

B) I'd most expect a reprint much like Scholastic has done with Goosebumps and what Penuin has done with the Sweep novellas.

C) Applegate and Grant would most assuredly be involved and be treated as master editors. I'm sure the reprints would settle continuity issues and things left unclear.

I would also probably expect a few new stories to be tossed in the middle of the series but nothing after the finale. Why does everyone want more? Wasn't the ending really conclusive enough?

Now if I were Applegate and Grant, I'd do a rewrite. But on these conditions.

I'm a fan of Lost. Remember some of the alternate universes that sporadically created throughput the series? Write a complete story branching out from one of those universes much like the Lost crew will tackle in the sixth season of that show.

Just a few thoughts. No one grill me on them! Good day! =)

The vast majority of Animorphs fans hated the ending. Get over that, please.

Yeah, a rewrite of the series that fixes various KASUs and implements recons early would be good as a minimum. Though there is a list of KASUs, I don't believe everything on the list is a KASU. Like watching Buffy on Thursday. Not a KASU because I did it myself when I was younger.

Yeah, that'd be a good time to erase the moment when Jake as a human thought-spoke to Dude/Tobias.

I second this motion. There's another thread divoted to the $*(# rapage that others call book #54, so I won't go on about it.

I just hope that the new books will be made of stouter stuff.  I no longer have any of my Animorph books; I read holes in them.  The pages came out much too easily.

That's because, let's face it, you guys, the Animorphs are pulp. We were lucky we got 2 hardcover Chronicles.

My books didn't last very long either. One of the reasons why I really like the ebooks.

Yeah, I just wish that they all could look like the first few, you know where the font was nearly the same, and each page corresponded with the book.

I remember a while back, I decided to leave my childhood behind, and take my Animorphs to the secondhand book store.  The guy took one look at them and poured them onto the nickel table.  The seethe I felt then told me that while I might be done with Animorphs, they certainly weren't done with me.

And mods?  Perhaps this exchange should be moved to a new topic about the books themselves, the physical objects.

It was 5 posts of off topic-ness, I don't think that qualifies moving the posts. :D

But back on topic:

I hope they do do a reprint, that way I can get those books I'm missing. I've read them all, I just don't own them all... yet.
