Can we derail this troll thread and instead talk about how fucked up the Animorphs series is?

I loved it so much.

I mean, shit, one of the main characters is so fucked up by the end that he needs less than ten seconds of deliberation to decide whether or not to kill seventeen thousand helpless enemies, many of which would have surrendered if given the chance.

And he flushes them all into space.

I bet he does. How many books were there, I don't even remember.

I just remember these kids forgetting how to be human. It's like fucking Now and Then, Here and There but with shapeshifters.

Moral ambiguity is my favorite. I was too busy reading Pern at the time, so I only read a few, but Christ.

They're telepathic slugs with almost zero sensory organs, but highly developed mental capabilities, so their normal existence is basically hell.

They want highly developed host bodies with a wide range of capabilities and perception, and that motivation essentially drives their society. Low-ranking Yeerks get shitty hosts like Geds (basically apes with shitty eyesight and motor control) or Taxxons (big goddamn centipedes), and those a bit further up the ladder get to inhabit things like humans.

I'm starting to remember it now. I was starting to wonder if it was one of those things that you didn't realise made no sense as a kid.
