"Why the fuck would you pick option 2!"
"Because it said get the treasur-"
"That was a fucking trap, Gaz! A fucking trap!"
"Well how was I supposed to know that!"
"When has an option on page 5 ever taken you to the good ending!"
"Listen if you just let me keep my finger on the pag-"
"That's the coward's way out, Gaz! The coward's way out! Start again!"
It's a series of books about a group of teens that witness the crash of an alien ship where the dying pilot tells them that their world is being secretly invaded by brain slugs known as Yeerks. He gifts them a device which allows them to transform into any creature they touch, but staying in that form for longer than 2 hours will result in it being permanent. They use this power to fight back against the invasion.
@vermiculture would be horrified

Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
sorta? they had to deliberately acquire it but yeah they onld had to do it once
there was tons of that shit. pretty much any time they were fighting hork-bajir the next 3 pages would be torn off limbs and shit. i remember marco trying to free tobias from torture was basically bleeding to death as he broke the cage open. christ alive.
seeing as the animorphs were guerrilla fighters, morphing into animals is an insane advantage. even if elfangor had given them each a laser pistol, they couldn't have done as much damage as they could just spying on them as fleas.
i loved the development through the books as they became increasingly more competent at sabotage and stuff, having detailed knowledge of who's a yeerk and who's likely to be, where the entrances to the pool were, etc. the stuff in between the books when they're not on crazy adventures always seemed the coolest to me since it would have just been them tailing suspected yeerks or following up leads and adding another name to the list.
Except for the one where they all turned into ants and almost lost their minds because the militaristic mindlessness of the ant was almost too much to bear!
Marco summing up the end with the chee computer. paraphrasing
I just realized that they forced upon eric what had been forced upon them.

book 48.
They were thinking about cashing on that Power Ranger money.
The ability to die by flyswatter.
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
So, you know, shapeshifting
Didn't Ax make his human form from a weird melding thing of the main characters?
Why didnt they morph into Sharkbears
I was just about to ask this.
I think I started reading Salvatore's stuff after I'd played Baldur's Gate, so it was sort of cool to read stories from the same world. Plus I was into Dragonlance, so more "D&D party of goddamn superheroes has adventures" was always welcome. The Drizzt stuff got pretty old though; the most interesting stuff was with Entreri or Jarlaxle, but they turned into Mary Sues (Evil Sue? Angry Sue?) pretty quick too.
no it was just in general, so i mean it would have included sharkbears
good enough.
Also I had a nightmare about being chased by a sharkbear and I'm actually ok with them not appearing in any media ever
edit: Back to the movie, do you think that they will keep those two things Ender did?
You know, for an allegedly homophobic writer, Ender's Game had some really homoerotic scenes.

Would B'wana Beast's powers work on an Animorph
Probably because if Barker ever caught one of them he'd spay and/or neuter them.
