Interesting fact about the SOAD song, it's one of two they recently released as their first new music in 15 years in support of what's going on in Armenia at the moment, as they're all of Armenian descent and a lot of their music ties back into that.

And yeah Serj's voice is terrific. The guitarist, Daron, also provides vocals and while I don't like his voice as much he harmonizes with Serj well.

Right, it doesn't directly spoil what happens. It's supposed to be a teaser for the end, essentially.

Yeah this is more accurate. I personally think reading it after is better (that's what I wish I had done back then) but some people like it after 47.

Remember the book where they figured out a specific oatmeal made Yeerks go bonkers if their host ate it?

Books got weird some times.

Instant maple and ginger oatmeal, specifically. And it didn't just make the Yeerks crazy, it also removed their need for Kandrona radiation so they could stay in a host indefinitely, but that's not useful if they're crazy.

IIRC there's a standoff with Visser Three towards the end with a barrel of the oatmeal over the Yeerk pool and the kids threatening to shoot it with a Dracon beam to try to negotiate.

Jake even acknowledges that the entire thing is stupid and no one will remember it as an important battle.

Okay I just realized something that really bothers me - when they're arguing about whether or not Wanda could have beaten Thanos on her own... how did they know that? Were they THERE? Why would they be there? Was the whole thing being televised somehow?

I assume Iron Man, War Machine, and Rescue are probably running suit cams and recording anytime they're in the suits so I just assume one of them saw it and that footage has probably been reviewed over and over by government agencies. And you know the Avengers and everyone there was getting interviewed anyway so there's probably entire play by plays out there.

Why the hell didnt Alloran just use one of the unstoppable morphs he now had to break out? Visser three uses a tooon that are basically unfighttable. When visser three slithered out his head he should have just morphed and vamped.

IIRC morphing requires a ton of energy and he was exhausted from the venom. He also hadn't been in control of his own body for like thirty years and we see earlier in the series when Chapman's Yeerk relinquishes control that Chapman starts drooling and has trouble speaking and standing at first, and that's only a couple of years of infestation at most.

Also want to mention how Marco goes from being the least enthused about what's going on, the one who's the most practical about it going "We're just kids and this is bullshit, we shouldn't have to do this" to 100% into it and the best strategist of the group in book 5 when he discovers his long thought dead mother is the host of Visser One.

Marco's legitimately terrifying. This quote sums it up...

"People don't understand the word ruthless. They think it means 'mean.' It's not about being mean. It's about seeing the bright, clear line that leads from A to B. The line that goes from motive to means. Beginning to end. It's about seeing that bright, clear line and not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution. Not caring about anything else but the perfection of it."

Now he openly says you deviate from the line when needed or when something isn't morally justifiable, but the fact that a 13-16 year old is saying this is fucked.

Everyone mentioning the David arc, meanwhile Im over here wondering why nobody remembers how fucked the Taylor story was.

Oh yeah that's a rough one.

Another fun one: Megamorphs #3, where a demoted Visser Four (only demoted because of the Animorphs' actions in a previous book) has to take a new host who happens to have found the Time Matrix, which allows for time travel. His actions lead to a shitty altered future where Cassie is a slave owner, Melissa Chapman replaces Rachel in the group because Rachel was sent to a re-education camp for her violent tendencies, and Jake insists on being called Supreme Leader and is basically a Neo Nazi. The Drode shows up and restores their proper memories and personalities and brings Rachel back, and offers them a deal; they'll be shunted through time to follow Visser Four in an attempt to stop him but it will cost one of their lives. They make the deal, even though Cassie and Marco are reluctant because Crayak hates Jake and if anyone he'll be the one to die.

They immediately jump back to 1415 and the Battle of Agincourt, and can't figure out why or how that would make Earth easier to conquer. The next time period jump is to the Revolutionary War, where Jake takes a musket ball to the dome. Then they jump to 19th Spain, where Rachel is blown in half by a cannonball.

Then shit gets weird. They jump to 1934 Princeton, where Visser Four plans to kill Einstein. But Einstein isn't there, because the previous meddling in the timelines has already changed things. Rachel is back too, and they realize the deal said only ONE of them would die, and the rest are functionally immortal for the rest of the adventure. Some random dude drops the n-bomb on Cassie and she calmly tells him she can be white if he'd like, then morphs polar bear and puts his head in her jaws and roars until he pisses himself.

The next jump is 1944, where plans to warn the Nazis about D-Day. But the Nazi don't exist, and Hitler is just some driver that Tobias accidentally kills. Shenanigans happen and Visser Four's host body gets the lower half crushed, leading to the Yeerk bailing then being thrown into a burning tank by Marco. Cassie asks the host where his parents met, and he obliges, realizing what she's going to do, but not before revealing that the Yeerk took them to 1415 to try to kill Henry V, because his host keeps reciting the play Henry V in his head and it's driving him crazy. Still makes me laugh that this random human annoyed this Yeerk that much.

Then they jump back to when the dude's parents would have met, prevent that, and thus prevent the Time Matrix from being discovered and any of the events from happening, resurrecting Jake. They retain their memories of the adventure, and Crayak is again super salty.

The stab. Literally every Paragon player I've ever seen says that's the one Renegade prompt they immediately mashed.

You're reaching if you wanna say him undoing the snap is besting Thanos. I mean technically yes but it was also technically Banner in Hulk's body not Hulk himself

I'm not reaching at all, I'm stating an event that happened in the movie. And no, it isn't Banner in Hulk's body, it's both of them together at peace. Which never sticks when it happens in the comics because status quo, so it happening here and sticking is incredibly refreshing.

Hulk in the 1st Avengers movie was amazing he stole the show in the final battle

In IW and Endgame he got shafted
Which getting his ass kicked to set up Thanos was fine and helped set the tone for Thanos as the big bad, but you figure he'd get Thanos back in Endgame to some extent and he didn't

I will never understand people who say this.

He literally undid Thanos' greatest work. There's nothing else he could do to get Thanos back more than that.

Marvel: "Please observe Bruce Banner, while never actually taking front and center stage, come to grips with his personas and resolve them in a way that doesn't treat the Hulk like a disease or a weapon."

TC: "Fuck that. I want him to smash stuff."

This.

Plus he gets Puny God, That's my secret, all of Ragnarok, AND he is the one who ultimately undoes the Snap and saves untold amounts of life.

Personally I love Hulk's development in the MCU. For once we get a version of the Hulk where Bruce is able to make peace with it and it actually sticks rather than reverting to status quo. Love it.
