I kind of empathize because Animorphs, Star Trek, Simpsons and Beast Wars permanently imprinted on my brain in a similar way. The difference is that I know to compartmentalize my child-brain and not trivialize adult issues by publicly saying things like Steve Miller is the Skorponok to Trump’s Megatron, regardless of how true that statement is.
Animorph voter guide:
Rachel: Trump
Cassie: Jill Stein
Marco: No vote
Jake: Kamala
Ax: RFK
Jake is both Trump and RFK. A bullet grazed his head leading to him getting a worm in his brain. Marco is Anthony Scaramucci.
This is Rachel slander. Rachel is actually firebombing a Walmart.
The Animorphs To Antifascist pipeline is real
I feel the urge to disagree with you because I expected issues that concern adults in power to be morally gray and complicated but these people are cartoonishly evil. So is it even less correct to compare them to Swiper the Fox or the Hamburgler?
I can't wait for him to unceremoniously fall into a lava pit.
edit: wow, how is that guy 39?
Miller falling into proverbial lava and a more aggressive, delusional lickspittle like Inferno replacing him actually sounds more likely than him just keeping his job for four years.
Alternatively, he's waspinator and he never fucking goes away, he just continually becomes a third tier right hand man to those in power but is so ineffective at any job he's given he probably should have been killed off immediately, if he wasn't just a walking punchline and scapegoat for those in power.
Waspinator was funny and refused to massacre innocent Neanderthals, though.
Ahhh true yes
I see you have truly impeccable taste
I don't remember much about Animorphs, but I do remember reading it. I can recall brainworms being the enemy, and there was one guy who got stuck as a bird because he remained in that form for too long. I also remember a girl turned into a fly and was getting pretty close to that limit, too.
Oh, also sexy blue centaur people
Getting chopped in half as a starfish and both halves turn back into a copy of you
Did that happen? That's be pretty fucking hardcore for a children's book.
I don't remember if that happened exactly but animorphs was pretty fucking dark, not just for a children's book series. They regularly get injuries which would absolutely be fatal if not for the morphing. The bulk of their enemies are their own mind controlled friends and family, and we do get scenes where we see said mind controlled people screaming and begging for death in cages between mind control sessions.
Holy shit I kinda want to reread them...
Animorphs is pretty great. We've got animal facts, we've got body horror, we've got brutal fights and teenage guerillas with PTSD. We've got moral dilemmas, well realized alien biology and sociology, fantastic characters and world changing stakes.
Oh, and also K. A. Applegate supports her trans daughter.
It did!
Same but without animorphs. I gotta get my bins of childhood beastwarstoys from my folks to photograph and brag post. It's like a solid 40 or so and I kept the box cards for em too
I'm so fucking jealous. My parents sold all my cool shit when I was visiting family for a summer, then had to gall to ask me where it all was when they found out some of it was worth money.
