Digimon Adventure 2020

I just don't understand why it was so bad. Why did they completely remove any characterizations? Why was there no overarching plot? Why did it fixate on Taichi to the exclusion of all else?

Coronamon maybe, because it was interesting enough at first but then started sucking after the pandemic break.

It was not interesting at all past the first 3 episodes though

Is it that different from the original version that aired at the start of the millennium?

It is an entirely different show with nothing in common except the cast. It's a new continuity but the show expects you to have seen the original, because it skips over characterizing the cast entirely. For instance, in the original, one character is adopted and feels alienated from.his family because of it, and another character has problems with her mother and familial expectations. None of this is mentioned at all.

It also sidelines the majority of the cast in favor of one character, appointing him as the sole protagonist. Rather than being a group effort, he is the driver of all conflicts and defeats all the enemies singlehandedly.

>None of this is mentioned at all.
Both are mentioned, but they never actually develop it in either circumstance.

I get what you're saying, but that isn't strictly true.

I only got about halfway through but my impression was it felt like a show developed via a bullet point list. Toei wrote out all of the things they think people liked in a Digimon show and then tried to combine them all. But the problem is they didn't put any effort into combining them into a cohesive and enjoyable show. This is particularly evident in the decision to do a reboot at all. 8 x 2 characters in a show that really only wanted to focus on 1 x 2 and some extras. But they were "forced" to do it because their bullet point list said "Adventure is popular so put in all of those characters."

Is it the worst season? No. But even with the weaker seasons I still got a feeling for what the directors' visions were, even if they couldn't realize them (except Tri lol). I cannot say the same for Colon.

Adventure: itself was part of a "brand reboot" that started at the beginning of 2020. The new card game and Vital Bracelet are part of this.

It felt like a standard kids show that missed the fact that a lot of the original's appeal was that it did things you don't normally see in standard kids shows. Like the kids being reasonably scared and worried about their alien surroundings instead of "weee, adventure!" or characters dealing realistic life stuff with things like parents' divorce or their mother being emotionally distant instead of some quickly cooked-up single-episode drama that gets solved at the end with the characters proclaiming that "You have your friends here with you!".

The combination of fun, mature-ish themes, credible danger and characters that react accordingly and everyone having semi-fleshed out characterizations (even the parents) is what made the series memorable. This one was seemed to have none of that.

It was way worse than a standard kids show though. Most episodes didn't even have dialogue.

Watch Ghost Game instead.

>Most episodes didn't even have dialogue.
What are you even talking about?

I rewatched the original recently. Haven't touched the series since I was a kid.
Surprised how unironically good it was.
What's wrong with the remake?

>What's wrong with the remake?
Many things. I'll try and summarise the biggest issues.

>Corona fucking production that saw the show suspended for 6 weeks
>Taichi being the only character that matters (arguably Mimi as well)
>constant splitting up of the cast
>pretty much no character development
>overarching plots that are so unfocused even the show forgets about them
>severe pacing/tone issues which includes the final arc feeling like its episodes should have occurred 30 episodes earlier
>fighting is relentless with no let up and due to the above Coronamon, most Digimon fought are devoid of any sort of character

With all that said, I was able to finish it, unlike Appmon which I dropped after 10 episodes.

It's so crazy that the final arc was full of random filler episodes about bathhouses and french fries when they were building up to the last battle

Potemon was the previous arc leading up to Millenniumon, which in itself was bizarre given how "season ending" it felt.

You still had bewilderingly placed episodes like the Babamon school, Olegmon fight, Nanomon's love with Koshiro and pushing a fucking island Digimon up a hill. That last one is SIX EPISODES from the end of the season.

That sucks, story and characters were all very well done in the original.
I might just look up the fights to see the animations if they botched the story that bad.

Why didn't Tai and Mimi end up together?

Mimi's episodes are probably the only thing the show excelled at on a consistent basis. The staff loved her, it's very obviously the case when you see how she and Palmon were treated in comparison to the rest.

The Rebellimon episode (episode 54) is genuinely brilliant. If you only ever watch one episode of the show, make sure it's that one.

I'll keep that in mind. Still rewatching the originals, the first 3 seasons at least since those were the ones I saw as a kid. But I'll try the reboot when I'm done with those and then decide.

Kill yourself.
Don't reply, he's been hating on the reboot for over a year.
He doesn't even remember that the original has the same issues he spams this one with.

The original has the same issue of having zero characterization? It had the same issue of having no plot?

Because she is for Jou

You've made yourself look like a complete schizo with that post.

The reboot isn't good. This is coming from the user who made threads for it every week.

Colon had plotlines, but no focus on those plotlines.
