I mean I don't remember Animorphs having straight up villain protagonists at any point other than when people had Yeerks in them These characters are like, more evil than average for villain protagonists. They literally start with a cult of children they trained to kill for them

The Hork-Bajir Chronicles prequel had a Yeerk protagonist (later you find out this is a younger Visser Three, main antagonist for the series).

I mean did he... do murder and torture and stuff in those books, or was it like prequel/Clone Wars Anakin Bc this Infinity Train thing is like Star Wars switching to a whole season from Palpatine's POV

Hork-Bajir Chronicles had multiple viewpoint characters it switched among, and Esplin 9466's chapters are very much the "bad guy" chapters, so yes It's about him leading the vanguard that invades the Hork-Bajir homeworld and enslaves them

Just like Visser is intended to give us the missing backstory from the bad guys' POV of the main series, it's about Edris 562 masterminding the invasion of Earth, and committing multiple acts of callous murder in the process

The scenes of her hopping to a new host in her initial recon mission are extremely disturbing Carefully arranging a situation where her current host can subdue the new one but the new one can kill the old one afterwards

oh man remember the part when her partner was like "im abandoning the mission because i love our kids" and she just fucks off to do world conquering?

Yeah, that's her crossing the Rubicon moment She's given the option of giving into her "selfish" desires, having fallen in love with Earth and her life as a human, or doing the "right thing" and giving the go-ahead for the invasion And she bows to duty

The gruesome thing where she physically tears her partner out of his host's head -- killing him horribly by ripping him to pieces, and leaving the host permanently brain-damaged and insane -- is way harsh for a children's book

It's this thing where KA Applegate always resisted taking the easy way out with the backstory, like we actually don't get the details about how Visser One came to infest Marco's mom All we need to know is the backstory from before then

Replying to @arthur_affect @Plutoburns and
Marco's quest to try to get through to his mom or, failing that, to appeal to Visser One to identify with her host and be influenced by her host's humanity was doomed to fail Because Visser One became Visser One by already having passed that test
