The 2nd form looks like something from ‘All Tomorrows’

What the fuck is going on? I haven’t seen anamorph shit in LITERALLY YEARS. Yesterday YouTube feeds me an anamorph based video from the special effects guys, now this.
Such a dumb obscure thing to be popping up all of the sudden.
Simulation out of memory. Re-using assets.

For the longest time, they have read too less into it, because of the whole psychological distance thing.

Oh god I think this is from the Animorphs book where they have to fight another human, not their typical alien enemies. They gave David morphing powers, but he turned/was evil, and so Rachel has to trap him as a rat and leave him out onto some abandoned island or some shit. Those books were brutal.

Idr what books it was cus read them in elementary school but I remember there’s a timer on their power where if they stay as an animal too long they get stuck. I remember this cus at one point they make a long trip so they have to shift back every few hours but get stuck half way.
Also some evil character turned into a bird or falcon or something and forcibly turned a couple characters into flys or something and yeah
These were books that are good to be in an elementary school

Oh yeah, it was a mix of body horror, the brutalities of war, the unconscionable weight of leadership, and happy fun time seagull antics.
The time limit was 2 hours or you got stuck. And that happened in the first book to emphasize “kids, this is real.”

Didn’t they also casually drop “Tobias could eat him” as a solution?
Cause, y’know, using your friend and ally who’s trapped in a birds body and might be having some mental struggles with all that as your executioner is a great one.

Did they? This was probably after the Tobias almost kills himself out of depression but then accepts his hawk body arc, so I can’t imagine why they thought it was okay to try and traumatize him again.
