Actually hey, while you've all got me blowing up about #Animorphs and #AnimorphsMovie, I wanna establish some things up-front in a very long multi-part tweet:
There are very, very, very few things that could be changed to the adaptation of Animorphs that would make me upset.

Those things are: the aliens, respect for animals, the diversity of the kids (and being school kids), & the Great Power Great Responsibility notion that comes with fighting a secret war you can't tell anyone about (Tobias trapped as a hawk, family being part of the Yeerks, etc).

That's it. That's honestly it. Knowing that
@kaaauthor and@MichaelGrantBks are involved in the process means I'm willing to accept a lot of changes they may have to agree upon to make this real. There may not be changes. But I'm willing to accept a lot, and you should too.1 reply 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -
Do I want the morphing to be as uncomfortable and Cronenberg as the books told us? Absolutely I do. But if they can't sell that and they need to make it look more fluid or movie-like, I can deal with it.

Do I want the kids to look exactly as they did in the books? Of course. I only care if they change the identities of Cassie/Marco, however (and I mean that, since the notion of Jake being Jewish was a HUGE thing in Young Me's life). Want more diversity? Go for it with the others.

Just adding here that like the one thing THE ONE THING they can do that will stop me from going during casting is if they have human Ax, he has to be biracial. They can't whitewash him again. He takes the identity of 4 kids, two of which are NOT WHITE and ahhh. Off my soapbox.

True, but that's why the next post talks about how I'm understanding/OK if we don't even get Ax in this.

TOTALLY FINE not having Ax. Totally fine if this just covers a few books. Totally fine! Totally fine if it covers the series and Ax is nixed! This is just a weird hill I will stand on
