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

[Serraph105]

I'm not sure why The Animorphs have to be dead at all. They have crashed into ships before without dying see book 18 for a semidecent example. Or heck maybe they hit the blade ship and some other ship nearby saves them or even better The One is just another version of Father and it absorbed the entire ship.

[Chad32]

The ending is based on the original Bolivian Army ending. You can check it out in TV tropes and idioms. In that ending, it's implied that they did not survive. Although it is possible that they did, and she did leave it up to the fanfic writers to decide what did and didn't happen. Of course if I was a good fanfic writer, I'd just rewrite the whole thing, or use the time matrix as a reset button.

[Fwahm]

I'd personally say that it was 100% likely that they died.

At least, I would have if the books didn't have a precedent of people somehow surviving dead-on collisions in deep space (Elfangor Chronicles) >.>

But, since there weren't any allies around this time, I'd say they're 90% likely to be dead.

[Chad32]

Yeah, there was no one around to save them like what happened with Elfangor. The only thing that would have done was kill Ax off, if his mind wasn't already gone anyway.

I don't want modernisation, but I would like to see KASU's continuity errors, more information and questions answered.
Why don't we create a list of all the the questions we have (not about personality but about andalites or yeerks etc such as 'do andalites deliver love young?") and hope they get fixed in the redux.

I'm not sure about that kind of question as it doesn't really pertain to the war story this series was all about, but a list of questions that were not really answered could be an incredibly good idea. After all K.A. most likely does not remember the whole series like the fans do and she might need some help to get back on track.

Personally I would kinda want her to reread the series (which wouldn't actually be that hard given that they are relativley short books) before she picked up her pen again.

[Galladerotom]

I don't think that this will be a continuation of the old series. Personaly I think that they are just going to bring the series up to date and make a few changes to sell it to a new generation of tweens.

And don't count on Rachel surviving that is the one thing K.A. Applegate will never let anyone change. She wanted the story to have a gloomy end just like a war. That's the one thing she does throughout the series is address war as an awful reality where people die examples:

1. Ax says "Hate the war love the warrior" which is equatable to "Hate the sin love the siner" from the bible

2. All of the animorphs except all talk about nightmares and other sources of psycological pain from the war. Just look at what happened down in Texas a psycologist snapped.

3. Tobias trapped as a hawk refers is often refered to as their first casualty.

4. When Erek takes out an entire legion of Yeerks he refuses to fight anymore because he cannot forget.

[Alaphlosiam]

Not to go too far off-topic, but I've never understood why Erek can't just wipe that from his hard drive (or whatever the Pemalites called it).

[anijen21]

disk cleanup

defrag

empty the recycle bin

Maybe the Chee use Mac or Linux software

[Alaphlosiam]

>implying you can't erase data in either of those

Defragging doesn't erase any data, by the way. Disk cleanup is just Windows' way of finding files that it thinks you don't need because you haven't used them in a while and deleting them. It also deletes unused temporary files.

[anijen21]

quick, captain! The enemy is using a humor-dampening effect! We will not be able to laugh without scrutiny unless we escape it!

[adeon222]

Fire the giggle torpedos, Lieutenant!

Raise the sarcasm shields!

... 0.o

And we're back on topic:

So, do you think this'll be a telling of a new band of Anis?

[adeon222]

I sure hope so... Actually, that was my theory... A brand new band of Animorphs somehow formed in another part of the country... maybe another part of the world... The story could be told parallel to the original Animorphs series... with conflict with some high ranking sub-visser or something... and different connections to the Andalites...

They'll probably all die to end the series, though, because otherwise the originals would have had competition for their fan base after the war... And KA probably wouldn't mind that at all... *glares*

It's a good idea ^^ I'd like so much to read something like that.
I already thought about something like that, but for a RPG.

[Darth Revan]

Although, how would they get the morphing power? The only blue box was with Elfangor, and the Animorphs recovered it.

The Dome Ship is gonzo, so it can't be in there.
