I just watched all of Tri over the weekend. I wasn't expecting much, as I'd heard about Tri's reputation. Just show me the megas that I wanted to see 20 years ago, let the characters have fun with each other and provide better closure than 02 did. That's all I wanted. Boy oh boy, I bet there is an evil genie cackling madly at me right now. I felt genuinely trolled at the end of Future when Not Gennai went "teehee should I bring back diabolomon or demon next???", the movies couldn't decide whether they wanted to be about growing up and accepting loss or not and everyone singing Butter-fly over the bleakass ending was the most tone-deaf thing I've watched in months. I don't think Digimon Quattro could possibly be worse than Tri but I'm expecting them to surprise me. At least we got the Mimi x Meimei BFFs show, I guess.

I would honestly prefer that Quatro be a new series rather than another set of movies. Maybe even have it be an Adventure style show with a new story and cast instead of a continuation of a previous season (I doubt it though).

You know what I'd like And I'm sure plenty would disagree with me But I'd love for them to just DBZKai Adventure, only with completely new animation the whole way through. Cut down on the filler, combine stuff, add in the plot elements that were only thought of later on- remake Adventure with the budget and animation of Tri. You could easily retell the story of Adventure in six movies- first movie is all about the Devimon arc, second movie is Etemon, third movie is everyone is split apart and struggling to reunite while Myotismon acts in the distance. Fourth movie is Mytoismon across the Digital World. Fifth movie is Myotismon in the human world, maybe with the Dark Masters/Apocalymon pulling his strings. Sixth movie is the Dark Masters and Apocalymon. That way you have a coherent, sturdy skeleton to build from. Then you could do one for 02 and fix some of its myriad of issues.

Honestly, doing compilation movies is a plausible event. They probably wouldn't be done until 2025 or so at the current speed, but it's possible.

Tri was originally announced as a series before being turned into theatrical films. And since turned out to be a success at the box office I doubt they will be eager to change the format.

That's fair, though it makes me wonder if there's going to BE another series after Appmon now or if they'll just stick to movies from here on.

What the franchise needs to do is just plain old move on from Adventure. I'm Adventured out. Focus on the 02 kids, that's fine, but for half a decade now the franchise has been treating Adventure like it's the only thing that matters. I'm seriously over the original 8. Give them a rest. There's other legacy content that they could derive from that deserves reimagining or updating, like V-Tamer. Or, you know, failing that, put the energy into making an OVA project that's all new. Just. Yeah. No retellings. No sequels about the original kids. Just do something that's at least mildly fresh instead of spinning wheels yet again.

Sadly that's not ever going to happen. Adventure is what made Digimon what it is today, so we're going to be stuck with them being important for a long time to come. It's taken this long for G1 to finally start to lose its grip on the Transformers franchise and that's been milked for far, far longer.

G1 is more prominent than ever. They're making the new cartoon resemble "familiar designs" so parents and kids can "enjoy the new show equally." Nevermind that the adults with kids who would be the target audience for a new TF cartoon would have grown up with nearly any TF cartoon but G1. At the very least, if they're gonna keep on with Adventure stuff, they don't need to just rehash the same story with a remake.

I don't know about y'all, but I'm for anything which gives Mimi more screen time.  One thing I can't fault Tri for is that it made me realize how much I actually love her now that I'm not a teenage boy who hates everything "girly" on instinct.

 I liked Mimi in the original, especially when they actually let her do cool things instead of shriek a lot and get hit on by Numemon, but she and Palmon are just so good when they get screentime in Tri.

I think that for all the totally valid complaints about Tri, it did a decent job at portraying most of the kids as teenage versions of themselves. Mimi especially stood out to me as being more likeable, too.

So do you think it's within the realm of possibility that the current Tri ending was something of a "Bad End" and that there will be a new movie where they find a way to not do the thing they did? I mean, I think the fact that we ended on "Meh, I guess things are just kinda whatever, and also, we left a lady with guns in the darkness like she's Aqua from Kingdom Hearts" is just unsatisfying for everyone.

Up until I started having problems with the characterization and how they used the characters (movie 4, natch) I tended to say that Tri's greatest strength was its characterization. I think they really did get the cast and they were doing good things with them. Mimi was great, Jyou's character arc in movie 2 was great, Takeru made a bad choice that was totally in character in movie 3, and I think what they did with Taichi and Yamato (swapping viewpoints while actually keeping them the same) was actually really clever. It really is a pity that character writing became so much less important as time went on.

I'd say by the final movie the characterization was very good again, with moments like Yamato doubting in his forced leadership role and keeping hope Taichi would be back, and Koshiro rejecting the Real World reboot hard because he was the only one that could immediately realize the kind of damage it'd cause.

So Omegamon Merciful Mode's attack isn't Grey Sword, it's something that translates to "Fear and Trembling Katana" It's written in Japanese as "Gu Rei Tou" which is how the English word "great" is pronounced in Japanese Greymon's name derived from "Great" This is like, some next level word play. quote:I'd The point of these figures is to replicate the appearance of the original profile art. It's not like there's a lack of official angemon figurines.

I mean, there is though The most we have is a multi hundred dollar statue, the old Digivolving figure that isn't great, and I think a super limited action figure that is also rear end ages old. I was kind of hoping, since we got the updated Digivolving Figure of Angewmon already, we would have gotten Angemon by now And I'm fairly certain Devimon has no figures of himself hanging around

The Angemon and Takeru PVC figure goes for like 20 dollars on ebay. And they already announced a Super Evolution figure for Patamon at the same time they did Guilmon and Tentomon. These are gacha-style blind box figures. They're meant to commemorate the original v-pets. And sadly, Devimon isn't going to get many figures because he's not a protagonist.

so apparently the thing that made Greymon easier to raise in the original v-pet than Tyrannomon was a programming error that switched their raising requirements the entire franchise has been shaped around a different Digimon because of a mistake

On the one hand MasterTyrannomon and Samudramon are really lovely evolutions. On the other hand we missed on MetalTyrannomon who thens evolve to the metal as gently caress Machinedramon or not-Metal-Gear-Rex RustTyrannomon  Apokarimon would have shitted bricks had Tai came charging riding this. lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 04:03 on May 21, 2018 |

I’m just saying, it’s more of a Greymon than a Tyrannomon. Tyrannomon’s best Ultimate option is DinoRexmon.

I buy DinoRexmon as an appropriate evolution for Master Tyranomon (meanwhile Metal Tyranomon totally becomes Rust Tyranomon), but every time I see it I have to keep reminding myself that it's actually an Ultimate. It just looks like an Adult level digimon to me, and it would probably take more words than it's worth devoted to purely subjective aesthetic sense for me to try and dredge up why that is.

Well it is a recolor of Tyrannomon with scars and a longer tail, so. That being said, Panjyamon is able to get away with it, so MasterT works just fine in my opinion.
