While the breakup was inevitable (especially if you read the comics), I think the show handled it phenomenally with it being even better than how it was done in the comics. Steven Yeun and Zazie Beetz absolutely killed it in this scene with you really being able to hear the heartbreak in both of their voices as Mark and Amber realize that for as much as they love each other, they can't make this relationship work. Then you have the "I can't live in your world, I want to, but I can't." which👏👏👏. That is some absolute peak writing. I haven't consumed many stories that actually treat the breakup as a heartbreaking moment for both characters involved since it's usually just treated as a minor obstacle to prevent the main romance from happening sooner. While I'm fine with that in some cases, I feel like it's a disservice when the main character's temporary love interest is a genuinely interesting and fun character who has a good rapport with them. In that same regard, it has been a nice change of pace to see characters who do care for each other attempt to make things work and talk about the issues before accepting that what they have just isn't going to work.
It's also a good commentary on the nature of superhero/civilian relationships since while someone like Debbie was able to handle the stress of it, Amber isn't able to do so. And that doesn't make her weak or a pushover, it makes her human because not everyone is built to handle that kind of life and it's totally understandable.
I think Molly should get a unique instrumental character theme that has a strong and distinct melody when he's introduced in the animated series that turns into a motif that appears in other scene and character tracks and also becomes an incredible reprise at the end of the story. I just think it'd be neat
What if when Temrash 114 infested Jake, towards the end of his three-day deadline, the Yeerk chose instead to morph into something and took the 2 hour deadline of morphing instead, basically spitting in the Animorphs face's that Jake would be forever lost to them.
Marco would kill Jake. He wouldn't like it, but he'd give the order. And Rachel would become the one to actually strike the blow.
This is a WIP for an Animorphs animatic that I've been working on for a really long time. It's based on the events of book 1. idk if I will finish it tbh burnout hitting hard.
