They weren't that violent.
*laughs* I swear to God, one more response like this and I'm going to go skim-read through the books and type up some of the passages from the fight sequences. Just to put this to rest. Don't make meh get tha hose, Cletus!
They were that violent. Much much more violent if you pay attention to what's being said, more extreme than anything you'd ever see in a movie. Terminator looks like the Muppets compared to Ax cutting off arms and Cassie ripping the throat out of a Hork, and a dude laying on the ground begging Jake for a blanket as he's dying, with Jake just coldly turning and walking away.
Won't. Happen. In. A. Movie.
Geez. It's a personal opinion. My view: if I can be 8 years old and read these things without nightmares it either means there's a hell of a lot wrong with society or they weren't THAT bad in comparison to things that did give me nightmares. You take your pick, but I'm not changing my opinion.
Besides which my overall view is that as much as I'd like to see an Animorphs movie done, it's very unlikely and NOT for any reason stated in this thread. They won't do it because of this.
- It's been filmed already as a TV series.... and that didn't go over well
- Books that have been filmed more than once fall under the following criteria
~ They're classics (Lord of the Ring, Bridge to Terrabithia, Chronicles of Narnia etcetera.)
~ They're filmed again several years after the original filming
I'm sorry, but as much as I love Animorphs they are not classic books. I don't see it being very likely they'll ever be filmed again, movie or TV show. My only views being expressed in this thread were ones against how Yorick wanted it done, not views as to whether I thought it would or could be done up until now.
