Anonymous asked: Wait, how the hell did Visser Three not realise they were humans when they fell out?

I think you may be ascribing an unreasonable level of pragmatism to our good buddy V3.  Dude definitely spent his time hopping around and threatening murder of his underlings and yelling on broadband thoughtspeak about having lost the Andalite Bandits rather than.  Like.  Trying to get a look at anything that might be falling out of the truck ship.

Visser 3 was promoted because he makes a really stellar battering ram, okay, not for any particular tactical genius.  Like, he has his moments, but.  Let’s just be clear.  Once you meet his boss it becomes VERY clear that he’s not here for his strategic talents.

A VCR…. Wtf

Reminder that these books can be VERY 90′s, bless them.

Tags: animorphs other people reading animorphs visser three was definitely not promoted as a tactical masterstroke the logic was definitely 'he's done pretty well so far and the humans are pretty useless so he'll be fine' and in defense of whatever poor sap made that choice they were actually pretty correct humanity was not exactly doing well for itself here but yeah anyway the further these books go the more it becomes clear that v3 would get a lot farther if he stopped trying to fucking kill his underlings whenever they questioned him no i'm serious that's a plot point and yeah i wasn't kidding when i said these books could be a little dated just wait for 16 it's a technological cringe-fest peppered with Really Serious Concerns about jake's mental health oh my poor boy he's doing his best OH WAIT YOU'RE GONNA MEET GOOD TRASH BOY I LOVE THE GOOD TRASH BOY HE'S MY BLUE ALIEN S O N idiot teenagers with a queue anonymous asked and answered
