The Animorphs went hard. A series about genocide, dismemberment, loss of identity, suicide, etc and adults decided to stick that series in ever scholastic book fair ever.

[@syliphn8638]

agreed.

[@dragoscilvio]

Right?! I mean, it didn’t shy away from the reality of war either, not everyone makes it out, but it’s still a masterfully told story.

[@RickR69]

....genocide?

[@DrAmazing]

@@RickR69 Like the 2nd last book, one of the kids has a chance to destroy a helpless ship full of yerks. He straight up explodes it, killing thousands. There was also an andelite plot to create a virus that would kill every yerk on Earth. There was a small chance that it would kill all humans as well, but that was seen as not really a problem since it would be less bodies for the Yerks to use.

Matt and Jordan just emits this energy of "goblins scheming some shenanigans" and I absolutely love it everytime

[@gabrieltpc9078]

I can agree

[@RaptorShadow]

The morphs in the books were described with a fair bit of body horror, so this is nailing it.

[@VariantAEC]

I remember reading the one where a they are on a plane and morph into flies with one being smashed and their friends carrying the smashed one into a plane bathroom stall so he could morph back into a person before all his fly parts dry out and he dies. Definitely some nightmare fuel level reading!

[@RaptorShadow]

@@VariantAEC Sounds about right. Also the sheer mental horror of morphing into ants and having the hive-mind instincts take over.

[@CrownRock1]

Remember the one where they lost track of time as wolves, barely made the two hour time limit, and nearly got stuck mid-morph? They were all basically that shot at 1:29

[@Godsillah88]

Like the werewolf transformation in hemlock Grove?

[@twistedyogert]

​​@@CrownRock1 Being trapped as an animal would be bad enough. Getting stuck as a mishmash of yourself and something else would be agonizing. Parts like bones wouldn't fit together right and if you got stuck between yourself and a critter that didn't have bones I'm not sure what would happen.

[@RigidHollywood]

This chaotic group of Matt, Dean, and Jordan is my favorite.

[@HTram]

I was thinking early in the vid that there was Professor McGonagall telling them "Why is it that when something happens at Corridor, it's always you three?"

Sam and Niko have amazing hiring skills because everyone I've seen in these videos seem like they're really passionate about what they're doing.

[@haiduyphoto]

I'm Vietnamese and i was crazy about this series in middle school. I skipped breakfast to save money to rent those books and read it from a book rental store. The Animorphs offers a pretty cool, albeit a bit savage, perspective with the idea of being trapped in one's own body. Worth the experience even though I haven't read them all myself xD

[@metashrew]

3:55 the fact that Dean doesnt even acknowledge the "all balls, probably" makes it even funnier

[@JanbluTheDerg]

Surprisingly spot on about the book series lol. The morphs were never described as hurting (just having a distant feeling like you know it's supposed to hurt) but they are described as being absolutely horrifying, so horrifying that the characters prefer to look away from each other lest they scream in horror or vomit at the sight. They would also occasionally lose their ability to scream mid-morph if the animal didn't have the vocal chords to support it (a common occurrence given that they turned into flies, fleas and cockroaches more time than they would have liked). The books also described the morphs as happening in random ways, that is, not everything at once. There were times when characters fell on their faces because they lost their legs mid-morph, and one of the characters was actually talented at morphing, being able to control how she morphs (like one time where she lost her wings last coming out of bird morph so she looked kinda angelic doing so) Aside from the morphing, as other comments mentioned, it's a surprisingly dark series about alien invasions, child soldiers, not knowing who you could trust, genocide, body horror, moral ambiguity, bodysnatchers, guerilla warfare, and of course, how freaking cool the animal kingdom is.

[@CoyoteAllsgood]

Ha! Guerilla warfare...deep cut

[@isaacfrand3824]

So like Halo’s Spartan-II program on steroids, on shrooms, made by people on heavy acid trips. (For reference, I’m just assuming that all drugs have insane psycheatric effects; I don’t actually know as I’ve never tried or researched.) (You can’t get demonetized for a comment, right?)

[@silverseth7]

They also had a time limit or potentially get stuck as the animal. 2 hours ain't much time. So it was, back and forth, back and forth. They were lucky if it happened the same way twice.

[@noahshad09]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@isaacfrand3824 steroids have a more long term phycological damage where as shrooms are more short term (still can cause long term psychological damage though)

[@Mlaeaos]

​@silverseth7 and Tobias gets stuck as a hawk. Although he does get morphing power back later from the elimist

[@connorlohse4097]

Editing on these episodes is subtle but so so good. The music design and audio touches have leveled up so much. Comedic beats feel really tight in the edit. We notice 👍

[@Cosmic_Waffle]

I was thinking the exact same! The channel is really starting to feel like it is created by professional VFX artists. Even the goofy and silly videos like this still looks better than most of shit coming out on live TV

[@asulisa9312]

i love how they’re actual artists and the best compliment they can come up with for this is “art”

[@BlackForestGardens]

When Jordan said, “bird up,” I knew the tone of this episode and had to keep myself from bursting out laughing- until of course, the sleep deprived Dean saying, “we’re doing something important” -that’s a soundbite that will forever be in my head. Thank you 😂

The blueprint is open source and Martina from NerdForge made a full glove around that 3D print, and she keeps using that glove as well. So I agree it must be a really good blueprint.

[@cenciende9401]

I don't understand why people have their volume turned up so damn high, it's their own fault. Headphones have absolutely nothing to do with it.

[@azureoni3491]

@@cenciende9401 KZbin videos aren't all the same volume, simple as that. I might go from a video of someone talking at low volume that causes me to turn KZbin's volume up and then go to a video of someone screaming and peaking their mic in the first second without any warning. I don't have my volume that high but the scream was so loud that it really needs to be mentioned that it's not cool to put that in the first second of a video. My ears weren't ringing from it or anything but I don't really enjoy people screaming in my ears regardless of the volume unless if I'm listening to music.

The Animorph book series came out my early years of teaching. She was still releasing them monthly back then. I brought every book read it myself and added it to my class room. Including the hard covered solo books. The TV series was a let down because it was so slow paced and needed a larger budget. Anyway I tried to revive the stories digitally a few years ago and approached the morphs the same way Wren did. It was cool to see you guys do it in 3D. I still plan to work on a VR version of one of the books and would like to take a similar approach to the morphs as you guys, but maybe a little higher fidelity. Would love to see you guys take on a serious animal morph with a animated character moving into the morph and then continuing the animation. Also maybe morphing parts separately like a werewolf in AWW in London. Would like to see how high a quality you guys can do.
