Because the second half of 02 isn't very good. Ken should have become an Eggmanesque rival who helps beat other bad guys because only he can conquer the world.

I didn't notice it until it was pointed out, but is anyone else bothered by Sora and Hikari having the exact same faces in the promo picture for Tri? I wasn't really feeling the art before, and now I think I know why.
Go watch Tsuritama.

I wasn't really interested in Digimon past season 2, so hearing they're making a sequel to it has me a bit interested. I don't really know very much about how the series really is these days, how are the other seasons?

Watch 3 and a few loops of the gif of the dude from 5 punching a line of venommyotismons down like dominoes. Other than that gently caress it.

I will import the Japanese BDs in a heartbeat if Toei has the gall to just make the villain Myotismon again in Tri.

The thing I always liked as a kid about 2 is that Ken was my favorite villain because he wasn't just some monster, he was a human. The concept of a Digidestined who decided who, being a super intelligent member of the Chosen Ones decides, as a kid like that very well might, to become king of the loving monsters, was a lot better to me than "well he's a weird space monster who made everyone else you fought."


Of course the 2nd half hosed all that up by making it about all that bananas spore poo poo which also undermines any notion of a redemption arc since his mind was being hosed with.

I've been rewatching Adventure on Netflix and I am convinced being a Digimon makes you dumb by default. Like, even Myotismon seems to operate at roughly Cobra Commander tier competence.

Oh well, children's cartoon

I mean like, Myotismon descends down on TK, Matt, Gabu, and the two stooges and instead of just vaporizing the former he yells at the latter for eating ice cream and tells them to steal the tags and crests. Come on man, I know you're really dedicated to the whole "uhuhu I'm an evil vampire overlord why I should I get my hands dirty" thing but the solution is obvious.

The dubs are better, imo. They are very good dubs.

I remember giving 01 a bit of a look awhile ago on Netflix and it struck me just how much Digital Monsters never shuts the gently caress up. It was especially noticeable comparing the Hasoda episode between Digital Monsters and Adventure.

I am hoping for more of the 02 crew and hope Tri does interesting things with them, particularly since Ken is the best DD aside from Mimi.

watching Tri, Mimi is still the strongest

I didn't even know there was actually a BanchoLilymon, I figured that was a joke or something. It looks cooler than Rosemon, but Rosemon's aesthetics fit better with the rest of the crew.

Right now i'm seriously wondering what side Ken is on, ultimately he is going to be a good guy since he's in the epilogue and everything, and more importantly he is going to be a detective so his actions this movie add up to detective work (visiting crime scenes, gathering info and restraining a culprit/murder weapon until enough information is gathered) all he did was gather data, but was it to aid the chosen children, was he in cahoots with the government (that government lady, after obviously on purpose ensuring that Izzy would come to Daters so that the digimon were all alone for her to do something with, had ample unaccounted time to meet up with Ken and set up Meicoomon to be kidnapped) or maybe he and the 02 Kids are their own fraction in all of this?
Calling it now, he was hoping for Imperialdramon's defeat so that it'd be reborn and thus both partner digimon were finally free of the infection.

Ken isn't working with Himekawa, she shows surprise when she sees him by herself. She's definitely a villain though, watch her face during the reaction montage to Meicoomon going nuts.

e: but yeah re: Ken and Imperialdramon, everyone's reactions are stupidly muted to Ken and I'm sorry but bullshit they just straight up BEAT Imperialdramon, that's ridiculous.

It's kind of crazy that the group that is supposed to serve as the protectors of the digital world has been the bad guys more than the group of digimon that is made up of literal demons.

My one problem with Gatoman was that there was never really enough of a nod to her being perma-champion. Show needed more of her just casually swatting dudes aside.

I binged through the last 2/3 of Cyber Sleuth this week, did all the side missions except for the demons and Paladin Mode.

That game's main storyline and ending is way weaker than individual sequences and sidequests throughout, the leveling requirements (especially raising ABI) are asinine, and there's parts that are straight up stretched out for no reason (most egregiously the part with invisible warp traps that do literally nothing but waste time).

That said, fun game, really would like a follow-up.

do we know what the next of the good games (Story) is supposed to be? I know the devs of CS are making some Valkyria Chronicles spinoff but I don't keep up with Digimon news so I don't know if CS has its own successor or not.

The fact that her entire character arc in the second movie is just doubling down on "I'm perfect, gently caress you" is great.

it's a great bait and switch, they make you briefly think they're going to dial her back, then turn that poo poo up
