Digimon Adventure tri 1-5 (all of Reunion and the first episode of Determination)
Finally getting around to this. Loved Adventure (best isekai!). 02 was hit or miss, but I don't regret watching it.
Reunion was not more disappointing than The Phantom Menace. Although maybe if I had watched Adventure and 02 as a kid instead of being the Pokemon fanboy that I was and had been waiting for a sequel for many years I would hate this. The drama between Tai and Matt is so forced. It feels like fanfiction. Tai and Matt arguing in the original was iconic so they need to argue here too lmao. Tai's dilemma is so stupid. It's the kind of thing I expect out of The Walking Dead. But at least the fights were cool.
They did the 02 kids dirty. No one cares that they are missing. Instead a new girl is added and they made her a waifu.
Episode 5 and we already have a hot springs episode. At least it's the girls that end up in an awkward situation instead of the guys
This show is really weird so far.
Yeah the whole thing was just one big misfire. Nostalgia can not pull a poor script. It's a shame really, considering how nuanced the characters were in Adventure, that they end up feeling hollow and plot propelled in this show. Worst of it all is how pointless it all feels in the end. So so sad.
