Talk:Maximum Ride

Criticism

This article could use a criticism section. Yes, I'm biased because I HATE (with a passion) this series, but then again, I think every article on wikipedia could use a criticism section. --The Euphemism of Life 01:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Ari

I was looking at the recent edits and noticed that there used to be a section about Ari. Why was it taken out? If it doesn't work, maybe we could have a section about Erasers in general. (BTW, I haven't yet finished the 2nd book so from the few new things in the article, I'm pretty excited!) --Blackjack48 00:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay whatever. I restored it myself. Blackjack48 14:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup/expansion

This page could use cleanup and expansion; it drops a lot of spoilers from the second book, but very little useful information, particularly re: their personalities and looks. I'd do it myself, but I'm not very good at it. (Might try anyways, though.) CameoAppearance 06:27, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree (and so do some people on the Maximum Ride Message Board.) I may do some but I have been very busy lately but I will try to see if anyone from the message board could do it. Less Spoilers, More Description! --Blackjack48 16:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Setting

I think we should add more description of the locations they visit and when. --Blackjack48 22:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Comparisons and Contrasts to The Adult Series

If anyone here who's read MR and the LH/WtWB would be willing to do it, it might be nice to add comparison info to the bios comparing and contrasting Max I, Oz, and Icarus with Max II, Fang, and Iggy, for instance.

I would but I haven't read his earlier series. I'll try to find someone who would do a better job at it than I would. --Blackjack48 20:13, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to do Max and Oz, and maybe Ic.--

--Fantasylover12 20:57, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Fantasylover12 16:56, 10 June, 2006 (CT)

Yes, they're similar, but if the books are unrelated (as James Patterson himself has said), why are comparisons necessary? CameoAppearance 13:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Max2

Okay, saw no reason not to include Max's copy, (since it was in a spoiler field and all) so if there are no objections, I added a short descrip. User:Agape

Merge

I think Itex should be merged into this article; otherwise, it'll just end up nominated for deletion because of non-notability outside of the Maximum Ride fandom. CameoAppearance 04:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I second that. It's not enough of an article to stand on its own. Maybe we can just copy the paragraph into a heading here? User:Agape

I agree also. I think we have a consensus. Will someone change it? I also made one for The Institute below.

Alright, it's merged. Itex is now a redirect. CameoAppearance 09:57, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge "The Institute"

I think we should merge the section in The Institute for Maximum Ride into Maximum Ride's article.

The Angel Experiment

There's another article on Maximum Ride: Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment in case you haven't noticed and it should probably be merged. There's a lot of good information there but I think it should all be on one page. --Blackjack48 01:20, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree; the two should be merged, and the content of the Angel Experiment article should be put in a Plot Synopsis section in this article. CameoAppearance 07:26, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Agree. The Angel Experiment is a part of the Maximum Ride series, and therefore should be a part if this article.--Dani 20:28, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I'll toss in too. Agree. User:Agape

Okay, is anyone up for changing it? (I don't possess that talent) --Blackjack48 22:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment I've just come across this now and have to say that individual books can have separate articles from their series. Both articles seem to seem quite lengthy, so I see no obvious need for the two to be merged. I do think that the Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment article does need organising though. A couple of internal links to this article wouldn't hurt. I'd do it myself, but I haven't yet read the book and don't want to risk spoilers. Tartan 00:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Userboxen

Two userboxen for Maximum Ride fans, provided by me. CameoAppearance 07:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

This user is part of the Angel Experiment.

mrThis user is part of the Angel Experiment.

Wow, cool! Thanks! --Dani 20:28, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

hey uh yea......james patterson said himself that the only similarites between this and the wind blows is they both have a group of kids and one of them is named max....similarities end there!!!!

Thanks! *puts on userbox page* -- ~PinkDeoxys~ 14:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

movie

Can anyone tell me when the movie will be released? Rumors are 2007 but then again they're rumors...

sometime in april

reply: it will be sometime in 2009-2010, they haven't even got the actors for it yet (that will be done sometime in 2008 or 2009).

It comes out in 2008. Look it up in google several movie sites have it.--Iggy42 17:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Jeb

In the article, it said that Jeb and other scientists turned Ari into an Eraser. Didn't he leave Ari with the scientists when he left with the Flock? And it was the scientists who turned him into an Eraser, being curious about what it would be like if he was to be injected with the wolf DNA after birth. It's still Jeb's fault for leaving his seven-year-old boy with mad scientists, though. --Dani 20:30, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Split

I advocate a split of the Angel Experiment and School's Out sections. They are separate books and should be treated that way.--206.27.244.160 21:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The article is waaay too long. Are there any volunteers for doing this? Geoffron 15:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, since none disagree, and none seem to be doing it, I'll split the articles. --Geoffron 13:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I created the pages Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever, and Characters in Maximum Ride. Some information, like soundtracks, need to be moved to another page, but this article is nearly ready to be turned into a disambiguation page. I want to make sure nobody has any objections. --Geoffron 15:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Apparantly, no-one cares. --Geoffron 15:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Book three

Well i just made an acc on the mr stuff so i hi everyone and I GOT INFO ON BOOK THREE WOOOOOT!

• SPOILERS!!!!!*

One: Jeb is the voice! (i thought that was really cool)

Two: Jeb (of course) is Ari and Max's dad their mom? Miss marteniz!

Three: The flock gets captured and ari helps them escape. Max takes ari with them. This makes Fang mad and he (along with Iggy and Gazzy) split with the flock. So flock splits up and i dont know anything else other than those.--Iggy42 18:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I find that very hard to believe. Any proof/sources? --Geoffron 13:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Just read the book now! its out, duh! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.164.88.52 (talk) 10:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The book itself! My freinds libary does a program where kids read book before their published to see if they should be published and he read MR for me.--Iggy42 17:56, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I find that one hard to believe Whstchy 20:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Because I live in England, I can tell that the info here is true-I have read the book myself-From Ovavasour's annoying little master hacker younger brother

They are all defiantly true. Mmm122 21:22, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Why is this a disambiguation page and not a series summary?

Seriously, as I said on the other two talk pages, the pages for the entire series needs a massive rewrite. Whstchy 20:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I am going to devote some time into changing this article entirely into a series summary over the next few weeks. I believe it should be something more than just a list of links. — Movie Junkie 15:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll work on it during the coming month; I completely agree with both of you. Mr. chicken III (talk) 02:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Everything about tese books needs changed.--Prettywhitekitty (talk) 14:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)prettywhitekitty

New sections

I've created some short summaries of the books on this article; but it would be appreciated if someone would edit it a little bit more. Mr. chicken III (talk) 21:42, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Special Abilities

Should we include a section featuring the flock's special abilities? And if so, should Ari be included due to the fact that he has a voice, like Max? Mr. chicken III (talk) 21:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC) That should be in a whole new ariticle if anyone is willing to do that and look up all of that information.--Prettywhitekitty (talk) 14:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)prettywhitekitty
