did anyone ever actually read animorphs or did we all just glance at the covers and assume it needed no explanation on the way to the goosebumps section in our elementary school library

animorphs is a scifi series about the grey morality of war and child soldiers experiencing trauma, depression, PTSD, being frequently and brutally dismembered, disemboweled, literally tortured to the brink of death, forced to murder their own family members with their bare hands, and on page 22 of the very first book they watch the alien prince who gave them their ~wacky animal morphing powers~ scream while be eaten alive in vivid and gory detail

One dude permanently turned into a bird for a while, forgot how to make facial expressions when he was a human and ate roadkill. And that was one of the tamer things.

You know the starfish cover everyone likes to mock especially? The girl beat someone to death with her own severed arm in that one :) 

What the fuck did I miss out on

Don’t forget that histories most influential people were actually super robots capable of mass destruction if it weren’t for the fact that pacafism was part of their programming and the one time that they managed to bypass it, there was a near genocide of an alien race that the children played a part in.
