Maximum Ride	comment	A young adult series, written by James Patterson, about evil adults trying to kill Totally Radical teenage bird kids on the run from the man. Loosely inspired by his adult books When the Wind Blows and The Lake House, though the series are unrelated. The series is divided into two parts: The Fugitives (books 1-3) and The Protectors (books 4 and onward).The series takes Gambit Roulette to the extreme by hinting that the kids are working for the bad guys who are really good guys secretly working for the... you know what, screw it. It'd take too long to explain, and becomes so nonsensical that there's no way the author could ever explain it without using the whole "It was just a simulation" cliche, which he seems to be surely working his way towards, and used once... but that wasn't true.The later books have turned what once was a sci-fi/fantasy with werewolves and Angelic bird kids trying to survive on their own because adults are either useless or evil, into a green-peace adventure that has the kids going from Werewolf fighting to saving penguins in the Antarctic. Also, a cult appears in ANGEL. They want to kill all the humans. And give love and caring.There is also an OEL Manga made by NaRae Lee, which follows the plot from the start of the first book and currently has nine volumes released.As of March 2015 there is also a Marvel Comics adaptation, Max Ride: First Flight, and its sequel, Max Ride: Ultimate Flight.After years of Development Hell, a feature-length film was digitally released in August 2016. It was shown in select theaters that September.A sequel series focusing on Max's daughter Hawk is being published. The first book, Hawk, was released in July 2020.

Maximum Ride / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Maximum Ride / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License – Biology: The series often has shades of this, particularly by abusing the LEGO Genetics trope. Splicing bird DNA into human DNA isn't exactly easy, and trying to engineer a Winged Humanoid would be far more complicated than taking bird DNA for wings and putting them into a human zygote. There are no genes for bird wings that one can just take and put into another creature. It gets worse when the characters start developing superpowers, some of which were planned by the scientists and others of which mutated randomly. How would they even do that? There are also some little things, like hawks nesting in large groups and large sharks in less than 5 foot deep water, but the genetics is the big one. The Marvel Comics miniseries avoids this by making the Flock cyborgs instead of genetically-engineered mutants.

Many fans think that this should've happened, as it resolved everything except the Fang/Max subplot (In that version of the plot, Jeb really was the voice), and there was a significant drop in quality after that book. Angel was supposed to be the next finale to the series, then the next book Nevermore was, and then Maximum Ride Forever was released.

When they get to a secret facility in New York, they find several experiments caged up. Naturally, they set them free. You'd think they'd want to talk to them or interact with them, maybe help them find a safe place, but it never goes anywhere. Over 5 books later, said experiments don't even get a passing mention, they're never thought of again, so it's a plot thread that went nowhere and contributed nothing to the story.

Maximum Ride / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Maximum Ride / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The entire series is based on an earlier two-book series written by Patterson, consisting of When the Wind Blows and The Lake House. Naturally, the differences between the two are highly noticeable: Most of the Flock as we know them doesn't exist. While Max is still present in the earlier series, the rest of the group there consists of Max's biological brother Matthew, a boy named Ozymandias/"Oz" who serves as Max's Love Interest, Icarus (who seems to be a proto-Iggy, considering his blindness), and Peter and Wendy, twins of Asian descent. They're also younger than the Flock, with Max (the oldest) being twelve instead of fourteen. Notably, Oz is actually Killed Off for Real, while Fang has been subject to Disney Death twice. The group is assisted (and later adopted) by the veterinarian Frannie O'Neill and the FBI agent Kit Brennan, neither of whom exist in the later series (though Dr. Martinez could be an expy of Dr. O'Neill). Both the bird kids and the proto-School are made public by the end of When the Wind Blows. In Maximum Ride, the search for the Flock's parents was ultimately Left Hanging for the most part. In When the Wind Blows, the kids actually find their blood parents, but willingly leave them in The Lake House. Dr. Jeb Batchelder, Ari, and the Erasers didn't exist in the original series. Jeb's role as the bird kids' handler is seemingly taken by the far crueler Harding Thomas. Interestingly, both series end roughly the same way: Max is with the children/child she had with Oz/Fang, thinking about teaching them/her to fly.

They do have birdlike bones, and are definitely Big Eaters. They also happen to be super strong because their wing muscles had to be built using a more efficient chemistry than human muscle to make them strong enough to lift a human-sized body without a heavy load of muscle mass, and as long as you're doing the wings, hey why not buff the whole body as well.

The Flock will often go without any food, sometimes for days at a time, so it's completely understandable that once presented with ample amounts, they would stuff themselves just shy of getting sick because they couldn't be sure when their next meal would be; or of what quality it might be (i.e. Dumpster diving being a regular one-stop shop for the hungry mutant bird kid on the run).

Maximum Ride / int_6331ba26	comment	Plot Hole: In The Angel Experiment, we discover that the Flock had parents, and Iggy's mom died, but his dad is alive. Fast-forward to School's Out — Forever, when who should show up but both his parents, alive and well and ready to make money off of him. There is a sort of throwaway line from Jeb in one of the books, where he mentions that they information the bird kids found at the Institute was probably planted by the Director. Still never mentioned again... In fact, most of the explanations they get from Angel on their parenting either don't exactly fit with or go directly against the information they get from the Institute. Saving The World and Other Extreme Sports: Right near the end the Director claims to be a successful, viable hybrid creature: A cross of Human and Galapagos Tortoise. She states that she is 107 years old. The problem with this is the implication that the technology for gene splicing existed in the year 1900. The fact that a supposedly world-spanning (and possibly controlling) corporation simply VANISHES without a trace after getting busted by the German police and a bunch of civilian kids with a Hummer... Fang: The book starts off with Angel predicting that Fang will be the first member of The Flock to die, prompting much angst from the other members because "Angel is never wrong." This is somewhat bizarre as while Angel has manifested many abilities over the course of the series, the ability to see the future has not been one of them, leading this idea to come almost completely from nowhere. Max even jokes/notes in an earlier book that she hopes Angel hasn't gained the ability to predict the future. It's stated that Dylan is 8 months old, and he acts pretty normally. He shouldn't be able to speak English fluently at 8 months, not to mention possess all of the capabilities that your average 15-year-old has (social skills, etc.)

Maximum Ride / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: In The Angel Experiment, the main characters (who are winged humans, part bird, part human, created by some Mad Scientists) have gone years without seeing another genetic experiment like them. When they get to a secret facility in New York, they find several experiments caged up. Naturally, they set them free. You'd think they'd want to talk to them or interact with them, maybe help them find a safe place, but it never goes anywhere. Over 5 books later, said experiments don't even get a passing mention, they're never thought of again, so it's a plot thread that went nowhere and contributed nothing to the story. School’s Out — Forever, the Flock runs into two kids in the woods in Florida. The kids claim that they were both kidnapped by scientists, both were clearly starved, and Angel claims to get strange images of water from the minds and knows that neither are ordinary children (though she doesn't think they're mutants). The kids later confess that they were held captive by Itex and were sent to find the Flock and told that if they didn't succeed, something in the woods would eat them. These kids are never mentioned again. Saving The World and Other Extreme Sports: The book has an entire facility full of successful experiments, including clones of Max (introduced in the book prior and herself having fallen into this trope until that point), Nudge, and Angel. It's never revealed what happened to the experiments after the facility is captured, and again the group never thinks anything of it. Fang starts a worldwide revolution via the children that read his blog. You'd think that something like that would get a mention in the next book, but it might as well have not happened for all the aftermath there was.

Because of this, Ari understandably resents the Flock for this (especially Max) and tries constantly to gain his father's favor. Then the parental favoritism becomes literal when it turns out that Max and Ari are half siblings. Of course, it's a bit blurry as to whether he genuinely loved them or was just another in a long line of people trying to use the Flock to their advantage. The fact that he doesn't shut up about how they have to save the world might be an indicator.

He is not amused when Max won't let him go on a mission because he's blind. He proceeds to build an intricate system of traps and bombs to defend the house and blows the entire area up when it's attacked. Then goes and joins the mission.

In the first three books, the main characters were always on the move and in danger, fighting for their lives against evil scientists, and keeping a low profile, In this book, Max and the flock are brought to Antarctica to combat global warming. The commentary is there but not overwhelming until the last few pages of the book (before the epilogue), which has Max making a speech to the US Congress (a literal filibuster) concerning global warming and referencing the current big thing about compact fluorescent light bulbs (that if every house replaced one normal bulb with one of these, it would be "like taking a million cars off the road"). The protagonist of this series was the subject of kidnapping and human experimentation, but goes out of her way to state that global warming is worse than those things. The speech also contains a lot of America-bashing (pig-headed, short-sighted, arrogant, etc).

Nudge has gone from an extremely talkative young girl to a materialistic celebrity-obsessed tween. Angel is a manipulative Karma Houdini. Total is now even more of a cartoonish sidekick figure than he was originally. Iggy seems to be getting dumber and more childish in each book. Where in the first three he was treated by Max and Fang as one of the older kids, now he appears to have a mental age of twelve and spends most of his time with Gazzy, who admittedly has a similar outlook and personality, but is way younger than him. Max has started to use Totally Radical slang and seems to be occasionally channeling the spirit of Bella Swan, in the author's clumsy attempt to cash in on the teen romance successes of late.
