Animorphs 30 Day Challenge: Day 12 - Visser Three

Day Twelve: Your thoughts on Visser Three.

I'm not a Visser Three (V3) fan.

I think the Earth Invasion should be credited to Visser One alone. Yes, V3 infested an Andalite, but I believe he did many things that a politician would do to hold power, just to be the one to infest an Andalite. He's not a thinker, and to lead a war, one must think 3 steps ahead of the enemy, just the way Jake did. V3 did not do that. 

Also, it takes a leader to lead, and V3 is no leader. He easily kills his subjects when he's annoyed, even the most loyal ones. And he's easily annoyed. His subjects are afraid to be killed; they're not afraid to disobey or disappoint him.

Because of his true nature - angry, impatient, impulisve, vengeful - he wouldn't win any lengthy wars, for sure. 

Animorphs 30 Day Challenge: Day 7 - Visser One or Three?

Who was the better leader, Visser One or Visser Three?

I am with Visser One through and through. Having a human controller, he has an advantage on knowing how to deal with humans. Visser Three's lack of empathy combined with his extra large ego doomed it to his failure. His first appearance, the one when he killed Elfangor, could've been prevented if only he acted with his reason. Morphing a large alien being near a mall is dangerous, but he did it anyway. Near the end of the series, as he increased the production of Controllers by force, he also produced more enemies due , leading to his fall.
