    The entire franchise is just so fucking mid, I don’t understand why people worship it so much. The invented language in particular is cringe as fuck and sounds like shit a child would come up with.

      Yeah see this is my whole main problem.

      The writing and story are just… ok?

      I could identify the racist tropes and body shaming just interwoven into the whole series before I hit puberty.

      Oh then of course slavery is good sometimes actually, here I invented a scenario where this is true.

      I got bored of Harry Potter, and just reread Animorphs.

      Which certainly has problematic characters and moments and events… but … they are bad things, that the characters have to actually deal with, its a much more complex and engaging story overall, imo, though of course the serial format means that some books are not so great in comparison to others.

      Kinda the same thing with Redwall.
