#max ride

Someone on this green(ish) earth made a beautifully animated opening of Maximum Ride the angel expirement.

there's so many directions and options so I'm going to just name things from max ride

When robert the lizard boy emerges from the decapitation of Mr chu, and when Robert the lizard boy is then never addressed, reacted to, or explained again

When the flock learned the manager of an African refugee camp was performing deadly scientific experiments on children in his way of playing God. Something Max calls 'nazi-scary' (the one ref ever to the nazis despite the nazi coding of Itex). The flock then runs away, and this is never mentioned again. Dr. God gives them Dylan and is friends with Jeb and no one blinks. Dr. God then goes on to create a plague in order to 'discover' the cure, an act which means Russia gives him control of their nuclear codes (he is not russian). Dr. God then triggers the nuclear apocalypse— but at the exact same time a meteor strikes. He winds up surviving, using an army of brainwashed teenagers to eradicate the last of humanity. He's the final boss. The Flock could have prevented this.

Total, a talking, flying mutant dog with the personality and interests of a middle aged man, marrying Akila, a normal dog who he explicitly cannot 'talk dog to'.

When iggy gained the ability to see the colour white, but only if it was in contrast to other shades of white. He could see Antarctica but nothing else. This is never addressed again
