My Name Is Marco
Musings on the ending of Animorphs

This is all OOC, and really, for those out there that get mad at me for spoiling a book series that was published in 1996,Dumbledore dies, Piggy dies in Lord of the Flies and so does Dorian Gray,but anyway… Spoilers ahead.

I’m not sure if I posted this before, or if it was just on my other account, but with the strange ending we are given, and for that matter, the TITLE of the last book, I still can’t say ye or nay on the death toll listed.

Let’s start with the quote on the cover.

It began with six. It will end with five…”


Well, actually it began with five, but we love Ax, so we’re counting him.

This though, makes me wonder: at the end of the book, Rachel is dead, making it indeed, five left. But it doesn’t technically ‘end’ with the five. It ends with three, Jake, Marco and Tobias, aboard the Rachel, ready to ram Ax (controlled by “The One”,) in the Blade Ship, while Cassie is safely down on Earth with Ronnie. So in truth, it ‘ends’ with four.

But more than that, the quote doesn’t match in a way. “It ENDS with FIVE.” If the four Animorphs in space died, then it would have ended with one. Cassie.

So do the Animorphs die? That’s my question. Does the quote mean the book ends with five living Animorphs? Or does it simply mean the war ends with five?

We can’t tell you who we are. Or where we live. It’s too risky, and we’ve got to be careful. Really careful. So we don’t trust anyone. Because if they find us… well, we just won’t let them find us…

The thing you should know is that tumblrtasks is a scambot.

Hey Marco, what's your idea of the perfect date?

I don’t have a list of ‘pros’ perchance, but I’d like to avoid these cons.

1. Being disemboweled

2. Being transported to a random planet by the Elemist

3. Being transported to a random planet, then disemboweled

4. Having Ax ask to ‘double date’ by bringing a Cinnabon

5. Being called away from a hot date to go morph into something horrible (as this usually involves disembowelment, or a more novel dismembering)

Yup. Just about any of these, I find, ruin a good date.

Are you going to "The Beatles: The Lost Concert" movie premier in a few weeks?

Dude, how come I wasn’t invited to this?

Kiss me and I’ll become a prince. I’ll be The Prince Formerly Known As Toad. You know you want me. You can’t help it. After all, you’re a female and I’m…well, I’m me.
Marco, Animorphs: The Solution (via mistsonfire)

One of the author’s favorite books, The Lord of the Rings, lent several words and images toAnimorphs: the elvish word for Orc, “yrch”, became Yeerk; the flaming red Eye of Sauron inspired the Crayak, and Ax’s middle name, “Esgarrouth”, is the name of a town in the…
