Would you have liked to see David narrate a book?
« on: July 13, 2008, 07:33:43 PM »
Well?
This great evil - where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we mighta known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine?  Is this darkness in you, too?  Have you passed through this night?

I definetly would. I was hoping he'd be a regular member of the team, instead of just the new guy who turned traitor.

It would've been cool.
There's a method to my madness, I just haven't figured it out yet.

My opinion is, morfowt, that if David hadn't chickened out and decided to fight for his parents' freedom and the human race, he would have been the loose cannon of the group that everyone hated openly but liked for his boldness deep down ala Sawyer from "Lost"

first of all I have no idea who sawyer from lost is...

and I don't really care about other people's opinion on that (seeing as how nobody agrees with me anyway. I'm not kidding here. I made a thread about that once. nobody agreed with me). you can say it wouldn't work and I'd still stick with what I think.

I second that.  Seriously.  It was a good point to make as far as morality and a few other things go, but for all I care, David could've been left out of the series and it'd still be fine...

Well since Jen already seconded it I'll third it I guess. Or a second second, whatever.
Though she's wrong; trilogy is awesome to the 43rd powah! (rereading tomorrow, yay!)

Though found his character compelling, to listen to him beech about how bad things where for him and all his diabolical plans, no can't see that as a good read
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

I would've loved to see David narrate a book.  It would've tied up a lot of the loose ends of his character I think.
YOU'RE WINNER !

Definately.  It would have been interesting to see his point of view.  You know that he's had a dark past and I'd really like to know more about it and why he did what he did.

No I don't think I would have liked a narration. He would have been to creepy. I can just see a scene where he is creepying up behind someone about to kill them or something.

Also, I said this before that David was the deal with the devil for the audience. The readers probably all fantasized about being an animorph and joining up. He was a new animorph and in a few ways and audience surrogate. He even had some of the marry sue thing. But instead of the animorphs liking him, they all hated him or mistrusted him. In the end instead of saving the world like the readers would like to, he hurts everyone. Furthermore the readers can assume they probably would have done the same in his case.
