Animorphs what ifs

[Chad32]

What if Visser Three was as smart as he was in the Hork-Bajir Chronicles and Andalite Chronicles throughout the series?

There would have to be another villan for the Animorphs to defeat time and time again, while Visser Three was off doing other tings. That way when he does show up, things will always go south fast for the Anis. He just doesn't show up often enough to need decay to explain the Ani's ability to defeat him. It would be someone else they beat.

omg what if marco's name was michael instead?!?

what if the series was called 'animorphers' instead of animorphs?

its totally mind blowing

[KleenexCow]

What if, in #49, Jake had ordered the evacuation of their families right away instead of giving everyone a night to sleep on it?

[Chad32]

That was a REALLY big mistake on his part. Of course going into that battle where the Yeerks got their DNA was bad too. I'm not sure why he did it that way, except that the ghostwriter or KA wanted him to. Thus he was holding the Idiot Ball.

What would have happened if he had done it right is that his family would have been saved, and he wouldn't have started spiraling down into the "We're going to win no matter what" guy.

Have you heard the theory that Cassie was a Time Lord, and the Time Matrix was her TARDIS?
(It actually explains a lot.)

[Chad32]

I think I have actually heard of that one.

ATTENTION: Here is a true ending for the Animorphs series that ALL fans will appreciate. This ENTIRE series NEVER actually happened. I repeat this ENTIRE series NEVER actually happened. The Animorphs series, every single book is a POSSIBLE future.

Let me explain.

We all know of the Andalite Seerow and of course Seerow's Kindness. He gave interstellar travel to the Yeerks which allowed them to leave their homeworld and travel the stars. They immediatly started infesting other races like the Taxxons, and Hork-Bajir then finally humans.

We also know of the Ellimist who are very powerful and can alter space and time, but do not interfere unless intelligent life is threatned. Now that the facts are stated here's my ending.

Right before they enter the Blade ship (FADE OUT). The Ellimist and Seerow are standing on the Yeerk homeworld. The Ellimist turns to look at Seerow and says to him "What you saw is what will transpire if you give the Yeerks the power to travel the stars. You will be responsible for the death and enslavement of COUNTLESS intelligent beings."

Seerow has a look of absolute horror on his face. He replies <I did not posses the knowledge of the consequences of my actions. If I had I would not have made that decision. I would not have given the Yeerks the technology.>

The Ellimist fixed Seerow with an intense stare and replied "You now posses that knowledge. You may still give the Yeerks the technology OR leave this planet and never return."

"What is your decision?"

For Seerow, there was no choice involved.

THE END

That is how Applegate should have ended it. No cliff-hangers, but a perfect unexpected twist that wil make jaws hit the floor. The idea actually popped into my head and I haven't even finished the series. I don't actually know 100% how the series ended, but I've read enough to get the gist and I think my ending is better.

If you agree or disagree with my ending please let me know. I want it to be judged.

Ask youself "What If?" this was Animorphs???

[anijen21]

I love your confidence.

[Johnny Xtreme]

Thx. It just occured to me that the Ellimist gave the animorphs a choice. Why didnt Seerow get a choice? This ending allows that, but there is bad news. My ending raises a VERY serious question that CAN'T be answered.

What happens to Tobias?

[Terenia]

He wouldn't exist. I just answered it. Elfangor only joined the war because he wanted to make his mark in it. No war, no Elfangor as a warrior, no meeting Loren, no Tobias.

I agree with Jen. Your confidence is admirable.

Haha, I've never heard this one...Cassie was a Time Lord (Lady?) all along!  Should've seen that one coming!

That's a rediculously fun game. XD

[MoppingBear]

Doesn't the addition of even one time told kill Dr. Who cannon?

[Phoenix004]

I like the idea of this thread, partly because I like pretty much anything with possible time travel involvement, but also because it links in well with my Animorphs Travels story. The entire fic is based on "what if" moments!

A good example is Tobias being trapped as a hawk. Sure it kinda sucked for him, but in the long run the Animorphs would have been screwed without him as a nothlit. There are countless moments in the series where a seemingly small change would have snowballed into huge differences. It's part of the fun in doing my fic, but it's also a potential problem for my character, as well as my myself. There are some things that I either can't (or simply don't want to) change, but it's hard to do without making my character look evil or incompetant.
