I read the Animorphs books when I was a kid, and DON'T GET ME STARTED on how much they turned out to suck. I read the first few, I liked them, I marathonned the rest like the colossal no-life nerd I was back then, and the problems in every book and the writer's writing style just kept building. Gore used as pointless shock value, the "I know these books are super edgy and gory but for reasons I refuse to disclose the violence of the robot god dude scares me too much to mention" bit fell flat on its face, the Voldemort-tier(And I use that term VERY negatively) "I'm an edgy douchebag, mwahaha, watch me kick this puppy while the heroes get away because I'm just so evil" crap didn't work as a good villain or bad one, the five heroes were just the typical Power Rangers-style "Five-Man Band" group but without any nuance or depth, and Cassie was an unbearable Mary Sue that was simply NEVER allowed to be wrong or genuinely suffer. Sure says a lot when she's the only one of the heroes to not get effed up in the head by the end of it. Maybe it's because she was really the biggest b*tch all along. Hey, remember when Applecrap wrote a letter directly to her fans, insulting them for not liking her shitty cliche Bolivian Army Ending? She deflected all criticism with her "Muh darkness! Muh realism! Muh EDGE!" shield and actually said "If you really think War is like a Saturday Morning Cartoon, then when you're old enough, enlist in the army". What a douche. Calling all detractors children too young and stupid to understand how edgy and sad war is, even though she specifically wrote for children because it's an easy market, it takes no skill, and if you're lucky enough to get in the pocket of a big publisher, your books will end up in the libraries of pretty much every school thanks to money laundering charity scams that spend the money of gullible people on buying the books of "Bestselling authors" to inflate sales figures.



...Wow. Sorry about this rant, it just sort of slipped out. I'm not sure why I haven't deleted it yet, since I'm pretty sure the only people that still care about Animorphs are the people that like mocking the dumb visual-clickbait covers and diehard fans that have never in their lives read anything better.



Anyway, Persona 5 is so much better-written. And Sonic is better-written, too. Even the badly-written Sonic games during its "I can be fun too! Please love me, kids, and please don't leave me just because Shadow was too dark for you, old fans!" era.



>inb4 reference to that nonsensical "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!" joke that felt like an inside joke among the writers/dev team even back then.
