Hey shift! are you new?

ye i am, found this place when i decided to reread the animorphs.

Edit: Now I think about it it was actually a good ending though, they came in running away and went out calmly ramming the bladeship. Real contrast between the beginning and the end.

Oh no?  Like ten pages into the first book, hiding while a giant monster bites a dude to pieces, Rachel screaming her lungs out at a bunch of aliens chasing her, same aliens slicing and dicing a homeless dude...

For the first two or three scenes of the book they were regular kids.

As soon as they saw a damn spaceship, they had responsibility.  Not the skills yet, but the burden.

There was an action scene like twenty pages into book #1.  Come now, don't be silly.

You know, I seem to remember the whole running and screaming and hobo-killing and explosions and shiz.  Sure, the kids weren't morphing and battling at that stage, but that's still what you'd call a big fightin' action setpiece.  Just as they weren't morphing and biting/slashing at the ending on the Rachel.

PRECISELY. They weren't fighting. What is it about that fact that you lot don't understand.

...

The fact that "morphing" doesn't equate to "fighting", and the fact they're entirely different words with differing meanings?  Perhaps?

I'm well aware what fighting is, if they'd sat there and thrown rocks or tried to go and knock them out I'd say that they were fighting. But they didn't. They realized that fighting would get them all killed right there and ran away so that they didn't have to fight at that point.

Are you guys actually trying to tell me that if someone is chasing you you are automatically fighting?

well fighting I'm not sure, but I would say you were in a fight...and running from it.

Okay, perhaps "fighting" isn't clear wording.  They came into their story in an action scene, and they left in one.
