Not sure if I’m going to get eaten alive for this post because it’s my first one... but yes I agree with the few of you who are saying that Yorick’s changes are you great because they are really... Animorphs I view, as being very dark, I just finished a full re-read yesterday took me about 2 months in-between work
and you can’t alienate fans and the story arc worked.
I don’t think you could pull of the story of the animorphs in movies because the amount of content in the books couldn’t really be summed up in even 10 movies.. And how many really good A grade movies have 10 of them come out?
What I think could be interesting is doing the hork-bajir chronicles it would be challenging because 1) There is no humans in it at all 2) Hork-Bajir (The planet itself) would be challenging and expensive to create how tall where the trees? However it would have the advantage of being in the very beginning of the yeerk invasion so it could explain it from there. Possibly try the andalite chronicles after that.
And IF I Guess it’s a big IF they got interest you could do a TV show about the series but skip books like No 2 or merge them into other briefly but you would have to keep the main story the same make some changes sure, change all the conversations I would of liked to of seen Tobias and Rachel explored more, and it still would need to be Violent, but you couldn’t have the amount of gore they talked about in the books... and it wouldn’t really need a lot of swearing I don’t think...
3 Short seasons would be cool, ending the first one on 21 with the Jake/David fight the 2nd season could end with 40 had a pretty cool fight at the end, and start up the last season with No 41 I always thought that this was an important book. And it all sorta leads up to how Jake was dehumanized or whatever.
There are moments in the books I think are to good to change for shows some parts would always be hard to do but moments like in 45 where Rachel says to that Blue band A Hork-Bajir's Gunna die on this peir Mr Grath... But its not gunna be me" and Ax on the train about to blow up the pool and so many others. No doubt it would take money and be hard, but I mean who even imagined X-men or Spiderman turning out like they did, just about everyone loves them. Not saying it will be done just that it could. And I would rather it be done right not a carbon copy of the books but the main story the same.
Anyway that’s my 2 cents pick it to shreds...
Sorry about the length
