But Z'dGarurumon is the one that is really unfitting. Taking a line known for speedy attacks and making the Ultimate form a four legged tank... doesn't fit it at all, and smacks of just being there for marketing, which honestly hurts Next's narrative a fair bit.

I always thought that it was obvious the idea behind Z'd and Victory was "What if we give WarGreymon and Metal Garurumon the Grey Sword and the Garuru Cannon respectively?"

To be fair, MetalGarurumon was already kind of out of left field for the line outside of still being a blue wolf that can shoot a blue substance out of its mouth.

As a kid, I always thought that Greymon and Garurumon swapped themes for their Mega forms just for kicks.

I'm not talking about MetalGarurumon and the Gabumon line. I'm talking about Z'dGarurumon and the Gaogamon line. In the Next manga, the evolution line goes Gaomon > Gaogamon > MachGaogamon > Z'dGarurumon, to match how VictoryGreymon is the end point for Agumon's line.

This was done to market the Digimon Twin, which came out concurrently with the latter chapters of Next, and is one of the examples of marketing negatively impacting the story in this franchise.

with this happening AND the dub dvds "suddenly" going out of print, I think it's safe to say that someone new now has the license to the franchise in the west.

It's probably Hasbro.

Preferable to Disney

I mean the dubs overseen by Disney (Data Squad and the movies past 3) were altogether more accurate and true to the original script, save for the weird stuff that Toei insisted upon, while Hasbro's partners for localization of properties they license include the people who did the Transformers Unicron Trilogy and Nelvana, so I disagree with that statement.

The Yo-Kai Watch dub is pretty decent for a show full of name changes so maybe that'll set a new precedent but I know who has the better track record.

Disney is an atrocious company with terrible policies that treats its properties like poo poo unless they make bank

So no, I'm pretty fine on my gently caress Disney stance.

Nodosaur

I’m just comparing what’s actually been produced. Hasbro has a very very poor track record with this that’s several times worse than even the old Saban dubs. They have a really terrible track record with anime. Disney in contrast has actual provable results with the Digimon property that, while far from perfect, didn’t produce dubs (as far as Digimon is concerned) that are at times unfinished or impossible to understand,or full of extensive cuts that even 4 Kids would probably find excessive.

They have a lot to prove with Digimon. Meanwhile, whatever Disney did with the property, the stuff they put out was still the best localized stuff in the franchise until the Tri dub came along.

I'm of the opinion both Disney and Hasbro can go take a flying leap.

If it's Hasbro then there'll probably end up being a comic where WarGreymon and Optimus Prime hang out.

Preferably one where WarGreymon, Michelangelo, Optimus, Twilight Sparkle and Jen pilot an UltraZord.

No amount of nice posters will make me think this won't be as terrible as the other two times they tried to make Adventure sequels.

Either go for something new or give us the Tamers sequel the actual main writer of the series wants to do, Toei. Enough with this poo poo.
