I just found out there's an Animorphs tv series so please enjoy my thoughts
Why do these 13 year olds have a dog with them in an arcade
Look at this night scene, so night time, much dark
Wow they didn't even have like, any budget at sdfgjkl
Why did the cube-touching take like a full 20 minutes
WHAT IS THIS SDFKL
'Tobias, guard this with your life'
*yeets it into fucking orbit*
Wow it's just like how I imagined them
Homer is the goodest boy ever and the absolute chillest dog
Amazing
Just top tier really
Honestly.... pretty book accurate
These are 13 year olds
Rachel trying to eat Marco was legitimately funny
Ah yes, a normal 16 year old
The books: Let's never be seen together
This show: we are all in Jake's room together with the door closed for completely innocent reasons
The books: did Tobias become a hawk on purpose....?
Show Tobias: I LOVE HAWKS LOVE BEING A HAWK DON'T YOU LOVE HAWKS RACHEL? GOD I WANT TO BE A HAWK FOREVER btw I stalked you a little I assume that's cool
Also mid-episode 3 I was thinking no way they have actual battle-morphs in this shoestring budget show
HOWEVER
I guess no budget for a grizzly bear sdjkl
The books: Visser Three is evil and terrifying
The show: this fucking thing
I actually thought Tobias' bluff about working for Visser Three was smart but THEY JUST LEFT CASSIE BEHIND??? Why did she not go with them sdfjkl
Okay, mistaking a random animal for your friend is funny but I hope Tobias is okay, and nothing bad happens at all, I'm sure he will be completely fine and have a normal number of arms and a mouth when he shows up again
(also thought Jake was Jimmy Olsen from Smallville but I was once again bamboozled by the concept of identical twins)
The good (?) news is that later episodes of Animorphs have nothing to do with the books despite their claims so you can weirdly forget it's the same world.
