I'm honestly really happy with the core kids getting to Perfect and then leveling off because it makes them getting to Ultimate/Mega a more fitting end point of character actualization/development instead of Hitting their big character moment and then....having a while new tier and arc to get through.

Assuming we plateau out at perfect for awhile that is

I'm hoping for the same. It's really not been great since like episode 2, though it's been consistently good which isn't something I'm going to complain about considering Digimon series tend to have weak beginnings.

Also we have the results of the next DigiPoll. I'm unimpressed, as usual.

On the one hand, yes, half of his lines are ONII-CHAN.

On the other, the other half are significantly more interesting than the rest of this bland cast put together with the exception of Mimi, who rocks, and Joe, who also rocks but slightly less. So overall the balance says that he's still one of the best characters in the series by being allowed to actually do things (seriously, him just throwing himself at DarkKnightmon with no regards for his own life was so good) and not being just a passive existence that can't even bring character conflict.

Adventure 2020 (so far) is about as good as Adventure 01 and 02 weer on average, which puts it head and shoulders about Frontier but below tamers and Savers.

A lot of the complaints in this thread about pacing and it spinning its wheels very much apply to that first show and a lot of the posts in this thread saying to the contrary have a real rose tinted feel about them where nostalgia is filling in a lot of the many many failings and gaps of the original show.(For example: See above with the SkullGreymon 'arc')

Yeah it's paced to poo poo and it is incredibly episodic and often delays characterization or arcs for most of the cast outside of 1-2 focus episodes in favor of focusing on Tai And YaMatto and that's increasing as the plot goes on? Yeah that's Adventure 01 alright. This time they just let all the kids get to Perfect tier before just dropping off instead of having to wait until half an arc later to give Mimi and Joe any real fight screen time (Before plummeting off the screen because they don't do much in the dark masters arc besides talk to Ogremon and run from Puppetmon) It did not have character arcs for most of the cast. They had a few focus eps each and then just kind of blurred into the background, to the point that I think Lilymon was useful in like 1 fight. Hell even in those focus eps half the time it was actually about matt or tai anyway Like in the diner episode where Matt actually secretly helping Joe the whole time and that's the big reveal of the ep.

I’m kinda happy for the 02 fans though. In the end I thought it kinda sucked but it’s been treated pretty poorly over the years, so at least it will have its moment in the spotlight, even if it’s by the Last Evolution folks.

You know honestly, with time and space between child me and now me, I think I might like 02 more than Adventure. I don't know how much of that is Adventure; and Tri and Last Evo just killing my love for the cast of Adventure but I think 02 genuinely does better by the old crew than anything since (Even if the epilogue is dog poo poo).

It's a little goofy IMO that "It's hosed up large corporations control all data and who gets access to that and who gets to exist in this digital space" is a contentious thought to some ITT in the franchise that spawned the Digimon Story stories which talk about that quite a bit.

3/4 of those games are about people pushed to the underside of the net because they can't exist out in the light and how that leads to them either radicalizing or getting hosed up even worse.

I mean it uses Digital cuddly monsters as metaphor in it but it's still a running theme, especially in Hacker's Memories.

And exactly what views are those people trying to voice that makes them unable to “exist out in the light”?

I mean in the games i'm talking about most often its trying to help people through means that would get them otherwise banned. Both as a Cyber Sleuth and a member of The hacker team Hudie you're often doing work other people (The police, the admins, etc) won't handle can't handle or don't care about and the people in those cases often arrived where they are out of desperation.

If you mean IRL then usually it's holding leftist ideals or positions or just being a minority and being visible in any manner. I know conservatives love crying about being censored but I mean it takes so loving much to get even the loudest craziest most dangerous ones removed from a platform.

But even with all that said, and much like Endorph said in the first place, whether or not I agree that someone is bad and shouldn't have a platform like that doesn't make it less dangerous or hosed up that it's a massive profit seeking entity that's deciding all that. Because that Company seeking profit is what allowed those dangerous voices to gain a foothold in the first place. I mean we had a bunch of corporate media conglomerates give a bunch of free screentime and basically ad time to a specific, fairly dangerous political outsider a few years ago because he drove ratings and uh...that didn't turn out good. Leaving these business in charge of this kind of poo poo either allowing or disallowing it is bad for us. Like humans in general. It's a much bigger, more pressing, and potentially more lethal issue than 1 Old Japanese Man posting that 9/11 seemed a little suspicious.

Just started Ghost game today and I like that they just befriend so many of the foes. It's basically all the better parts of Adventure/02/Tamers were those because it let The Real Bad Guys have some weight. It's what the Digimon Story games do for most of the cases. You just stop whatever misunderstanding or bad tempered guy and send them on their way and that's fine. Hell Ghost game hewing more toward Cyber Sleuth tone has been a boon for the franchise.
