a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

What if the morphing tech didn't work on one if the original human animorphs?

Hmmm.  I think the outcome would depend on the human Animorph in question.

Cassie would slip pretty easily into a support role if she was a non-morpher who was nevertheless in the know.  I could see her supporting her friends in all kinds of ways (helping them get DNA) and being a lot better off for it.  There’s also a big advantage to be had if she’s not a morpher but the team still meets at her house, because then any potential leak around their meeting place wouldn’t necessarily lead back to the others.  If Cassie was a non-morpher, the team would function in a similar way and a lot of Cassie’s role within the series (especially around Aftran) would probably be similar.

Jake would try to stop anyone else from being an Animorph if he himself couldn’t, and he might even succeed with everyone but Tobias.  (I know Tobias actually likes Jake in the first book, but Tobias knows no gods, no kings, no masters, and especially no war-princes.)  In that scenario we’d see a situation like that one AniTV episode where Tobias tries to fight the entire war alone, and where Jake gets lured into joining the Sharing by Tom and then one by one recruits all of the others.  That episode ended with Tobias getting controller-ified following an attempt to save Rachel, but maybe if Ax managed to rescue himself then he and Tobias could form a two-person team instead.

Marco would be outwardly ecstatic, and would brag about not having to turn into a fly at every opportunity.  But secretly he’d worry, and deep down he’d be insecure about not being able to help more.  I could see him being the Guy in the Chair for everyone else on the team, doing online legwork with WAA accounts and hacking yeerk coms.  He’d complain constantly, of course, and would correct anyone who tried to describe him as an Animorph, but he’d also be an integral part of the team.

Tobias would do something horribly self-sacrificial to try and help the war effort.  I’m not 100% convinced there would be a war effort if Tobias couldn’t morph, given how much he drags the other four kicking and screaming into the plot.  But assuming he still managed to form the team, that Tobias tendency to want to take all the risk onto himself would probably come out.  I could see him becoming a voluntary controller to spy on the Sharing and/or work with the Yeerk Peace Movement.  I could see him going to live in the hork-bajir valley full-time as a human (assuming the Ellimist finds a different way to make that happen) to help Toby.  I could see him dying in battle as a human, or letting himself die in battle, much as I don’t want to.

Rachel would put on a mask, pick up a baseball bat, and go start kneecapping controllers.  As MM4 shows, girl does not need morphing to be a badass.

they should make a 40k dating sim where 90% of the romancable characters are unfathomably unhinged, both in the "batshit insane person" way and the "thats a just a fucking ork" way one of the characters should be a carnifex in a pink skirt, they aren't even any more capable of communicating than any normal carnifex, they just make carnifex noises at the player

90% of the choices should also just be straight up lethal. Like you can flick finger guns at Khârn and go “Hi, gongeous.” And he shoots you
