Digimon Adventure Tri Review (All in One)

0:10 at long last we're finally here the series meant to celebrate the franchise's 15th anniversary it's finally getting its time on this show with the final movie future coming out in the next few months i figure now is the best time to cover these movies since it will take me a while to get through these five originally announced at the 15th anniversary event back in 2014 digimon adventure try as it was called is a six movie series that takes place after the first two digimon adventure series but before the epilogue of the zero2 series yes folks we have a mint quill on our hands but hey i'm optimistic after all one of the biggest issues with the zero 2 epilogue is that a lot of the characters features didn't match up with other personalities and goals were in the show so maybe tri will answer some of those questions and provide the answers the series itself couldn't

0:56 speaking of series though try was originally announced as an anime series but around 2015 or so it was announced that it would be six movies and the reason for why it was six movies was never given but most people weren't pissed over the fact that tri would be half the length of a full-length digimon series that's usually 50 episodes instead they were pissed off over the art style for the faces but i'll get to that in the animation section finally i want to make this clear while i may have seen digimon as a kid i am not a direct fan of it or blinded my nostalgia for the first two series not to say that i ate it just saying that if my opinions don't match up with other digimon fans who've watched try that's probably because i'm more of a casual fan of it okay okay let's begin with the first film reunion our film begins with a cast of

1:43 zero two say for tk and kari basically getting killed off slash beaten by this random creature who is only revealed to be alphamod in the last 15 or so minutes of the film why were they basically called us beaten your guess is as good as mine because one of the failings of the tri series just to get this out of the way is that the disappearing zero two cast plot point is never really brought up again safe for ken but we'll get to that in the second movie and no one seems to care except for the government aidens not even tk or kari give much of a [ __ ] about what happened to the zero two cast and you're for a majority of that series the two are pretty much allies with them what the [ __ ] to use another example this would be the equivalent of in say power rangers the original mighty morphin rangers were killed off or beaten and tommy and the replacement rangers just shrugged it off i get that zero two wasn't that well received by the community specifically because of its

2:30 ending but if you wanted to focus on the original cast there had to have been a better way than just defeating the zero two cast basically write them out of existence for the rest of the movie series actually an argument could be made why the [ __ ] are they even here in the first place you you could have easily just focused on the zero one cast and then just awkwardly say they were in another [ __ ] region or something would you believe me if i said this was the least of the story problems in the tri series yeah it gets worse so as i said previously alphamon [ __ ] off for the rest of the movie until the last 15 minutes or so so the rest of that time is dedicated to reintroducing the zero one cast three years after the final battle of zero two and showcasing their struggles as teenagers nearing adults such as the group not being able to hang out with each other anymore trying to find their future careers trying to find a way to make two friends happy etc but as the film goes on we also find

3:18 out that infected digimon have been appearing in the real world as well as the government's getting involved in these attacks now so the gang has to come together again in order to stop these infected digimon and save the world oh and also say this new character man or digimon mekuma from alphamon near the end of this movie but frankly i was more interested in the fight in these two characters so yeah and if you think that these two are minor characters who will [ __ ] off by the end of the movie nope they're digidestined and they try and paint us something new and shocking but zero to showcase that they were digidestined around the world and this is a sequel to that kind of undermines the intent is what i'm getting at really what should have happened is oh you're a digi dustin too oh join the club there's like 200 other ones whatever though right it's not a shock because there's like over 200 digidestined oh i thought it was special ah my nerd

4:05 thinks she's special so yeah now there are nine digits in this movie series yeah i sure hope that the rest of the series gives these guys an equal amount of time for character development and not waste their time in a rav character overshadow someone else's development cause that would be stupid speaking of characters though [ __ ] alphamon he's got no personality his reason for even being there isn't explored into the later movies and even then that's a [ __ ] stretch just like the whole him potentially being the reason for the zero to cast getting killed and all he is going for him is that he's strong great you made a bland uber strong villain that makes malwa my otus mod not his previous storm talking mega more of an interesting villain by comparison yeah can you tell i hate these kinds of antagonists also making money is not that interesting either she just serves as an object that needs to be rescued in this movie so let's just move on to the real digi distance time matt's character arcs

4:51 are basically about them proving if they are worthy of their crests even if the movie doesn't know where it's it tai is basically asking him about being the leader of the group because the destruction in the early parts of the movie haunting him and not wanting to cause more destruction while matt is getting pissy a tie over the reasoning since not taking action will result in more destruction and while he is right it's not exactly a good thing to do to your friends basically their character arc is something that you already went through in the original series but now they're older and since they were pretty much the main focus for the movie i'll quickly go over the others since they aren't given as much focus in comparison this is a pretty good character and like his chemistry with mimi and tk as well as tentamon soros flat same with kari a trend that sadly becomes recurring for the two throughout this run tk's not that interesting joe is also pretty flat so that could be because he's not in much of the movie and mimi was pretty decent she had her good moments

5:37 like the ones i'm showing here but aside from her chemistry with izzy and the lighthearted nature she brought to the film that was really about it for her character in this movie as for the government characters [ __ ] them i didn't find daigo that interesting of a character in terms of actions or personality and maki is such a non-entity in this movie i almost forgot she was even in it let's just move on to the next section now i can finally address the animation of the movie so like i said earlier people got angry over the changes to the faces of the characters since it didn't match up with the sound from the original series so what do i think of it i honestly don't have an issue with the faces really all they did was just make the pupil smaller but apparently this got so bad when try was originally announced that people went so far as to make fan edits to the original tri poster over yet again the eyes being smaller i'm sorry but that's [ __ ] dumb

6:24 it really isn't a big deal guys it's a small [ __ ] feature so how is the rest of the animation uh it varies it's done by toei animation who's notorious for having inconsistent animation quality regardless of if it's former television basically if you couldn't tell from my wording the animation for toei is not consistent and this is no exception the animation wants to look good it does succeed in that department but when it goes off model it looks bad it really shows now even though cgi is a part it looks like late ps2 early ps3 graphics and may remind you this came out around 2015. so yeah the animation quality is inconsistent but that kind of comes in the territory with toei's animation department as such i can't really say if the animation is good or bad because there's a lot of incisions filled with both occurred let's just wrap this up with audio on the japanese side i like that they

7:10 remade the intro from the original digimon adventure for modern audience it honestly sounds really good while the backer music in voicebook is also pretty good i'd say as for the english dub it's uh it's not downright [ __ ] hear me out i appreciate that they kept in the original soundtrack for the dub and not insert their own score like pokemon i choose you did but they did swap out the intro music with the remix of the original dub theme and that [ __ ] synth or whatever that [ __ ] thing is called that made those distortions in the song i'm sorry but it grates in my ears the more i listen to it somehow it's even worse than the repetitive intro that we got for the original series and it's not even because i wanted to hear a butterfly or a cover of it i get why they stuck with a remix of the original dub theme i just wish that it sounded better i guarantee that if i were to look really hard i could find [ __ ] fan remixes that sounded better than this

7:55 and since youtube's copyright is well [ __ ] [ __ ] this is yet another case where i have to recommend you look it up for yourself if you don't believe me because i don't want to risk this video getting flagged or taken down because i used a small snippet of audio from the source but i digress how's the voice acting well it's fine the returning va's are on par with their original roles in the show and the new va's do a good job with the characters they portray except for one in my case maki's voice actress shirami lay sounds like she's reading directly off the script admittedly just like with other veteran digimon va's that could be the fault of a bad voice director because i know shiramile is a good voice actress a fairy tale and solely or anything to go by but it's still an issue in this movie and i do hope that improves as this marathon goes on but yeah when looking at the two i would say that the japanese version has a

8:41 better audio overall but the dub is not too shabby far from it so overall reunion is a decent introduction to the trash series but it could have been a lot better in regards to its character and stories but hey maybe the next movie will improve on these elements and we'll find out if it does next time when i review that next film in the digimon adventure try series decision see you then welcome back to the marathon everyone today we'll be looking at the second installment of the tri series decision slash determination yeah apparently both of these were used kind of funny in hindsight since they can decide which [ __ ] name to use but i digress so five months after the first film the second movie was released in japan around march of 2016 which will become a recurring trend throughout this marathon instead of a yearly release like pokemon it's twice a year but i think i've wasted enough time talking about this

9:27 information so let's just begin the review shall we our film begins with a bunch of digi eggs getting destroyed with a figure in the background before cutting to argemon and liam as this is going on however we see who the figure really is the digimon emperor wow just [ __ ] wow in less than two minutes i already want to shut this movie off and go watch something else and still [ __ ] off i mean what the hell even is this [ __ ] first off why are leoman and original even in this movie second off killing off digi eggs aka creatures who can't even defend themselves yeah you can just [ __ ] off movie this doesn't paint or jimon who actually destroyed these that's threatening he just paints him as an [ __ ] and kills creatures for no reason third of all the digimon emperor really were you that lazy that you had a reaction old

10:13 antagonist instead i make up a new one and if you think i'm gonna buy that's ken for even a minute then you got another thing coming we saw him get beaten in the first movie and are potentially killed again these movies have still not answered that question yet in this or the later movies and we're nearly in the [ __ ] series mind you so unless the bad guys only took him and left the others to die and subjected him to the crab that made him the emperor in the first place while he was unconscious or something there is no logical reason for ken to become the emperor again you know what also doesn't help this twist he looks about the same as a zero two counterpart minus the art style remember this series takes place after zero two but before the epilogue or to be more specific three years after the final battle you seriously mean to tell me that in three years a teenager who has likely reached puberty by now giving his agent try doesn't look any different than he was in zero to age 11. give me a [ __ ]

10:59 break but you know what makes this stupid twist even worse well aside from the fact that the next movie basically confirms that the digimon emperor isn't ken i know what a [ __ ] shock the digimon emperor doesn't even do much in this movie let alone the series well that scene i mentioned earlier he didn't even do that that was due to orgymon getting corrupted by the infection oh and like alphamon he only really makes a big appearance in the last 15 minutes or so with a movie but it's even worse here because unlike alphamon he just stands around in the background and lets imperial jermon fight the enemies yeah the guy who was in the first scene of this film and was the guy who instigated this fight near the end of the movie isn't even doing anything in it are you for real hell despite kidnapping mekuman he just lets her go after the fight's over almost like it didn't really matter

11:44 to him or something and yes i know that it may have been because he wanted her to see the fight and infection and crap but that's an assumption for one and second of all he didn't need to be there to make that happen you could have just fell into the distortion portal had palm and gomon chase after her and then fight the stupid dragon that appears in the last 15 or so minutes of the film oh and speaking of mekumon let's get back to the story oh wait that's right that's the only scene related to the actual plot for about 20 minutes or so so what takes place in between this scene and the next story related scene well maybe it's a character study or maybe some character development all right maybe continuing the matinki character since it didn't get wrapped up in the last okay it's not the act of fan service that annoys me hell that's why my lucario review i didn't get on the

12:29 movie's case over that film having a hot spring scene because it served its purpose and didn't take up a lot of time compared to the rest of the movie but my issue with this film doing it is how long it goes on for i get the intent of the scene in story celebrating may's introduction to the group but when most of the scene delves into hijinks and pretty much fan service for 20 straight minutes in a 75 minute movie that is something i take issue with because it feels like the time isn't being managed all that well in this film again i get the intent but i think the execution could have been held a lot better so when we get back to the plot it's a bit weird now since this movie's poster has only joined mimi and their digimon in it one would assume they would be given the main focus right

13:16 well each of them do have a character arc joe trying to move past his life as a digi destin while mimi's arc is about her self-centered nature and the problems with it but they also have to balance that out with scenes of madden thai getting pissy at each other leomon coming back preparing for the festival fighting orgymon and then the blowback mimi guests for trying to push him back into the portal and ended up injuring a helicopter the people gradually viewing the digimon in a more negative light ignoring of course the numerous times they saved the world but whatever may and mimi slowly becoming friends the digimon entering a costume contest the battle near the end of the movie and of course make him on turning evil at the end because she got scared so yeah if you ignore all these little story lines then yeah they're the main focus but hey at least leomon doesn't die in this movie wow couldn't even last one movie he was so [ __ ] pointless to the overall story as well great

14:02 just lovely but hey make him unseal now so we got more movies to ride who cares if the reason is basically she got scared of seeing leon's infected form we now have an antagonist to continue our movie series oh we already have an antagonist well we want a new one so uh let's make it the fluffy kitten who has no indication or really any buildup to being evil because we needed to do something in this series i'm sorry but i really [ __ ] hate this twist at the end and even if the reason she went down this path isn't because of her being scared basically this still feels like a cheap way to force her down this path of being an antagonist for our heroes to stop because it felt like there was barely any foreshadowings let's build up to this reveal it felt like a last-minute decision to create a sequel hook and i'm sorry but i feel like it could have been better executed than how it played out in this film especially since well megumon doesn't really do much in the film aside from

14:48 doing cute stuff and sure that's one way to prevent people from thinking this creature wouldn't turn evil but that's really about it in terms of potential foreshadowing slash build up and even then the other dude jim do this during the film as well so if that was meant to be potential foreshadowing they still [ __ ] it up as for her owner may i wasn't all that interested in her character oh sure she has a big introduction in this movie funny enough it's during the [ __ ] fancier scene but whatever but she didn't really seem all that interesting as a character to me in terms of personality aka the nerdy girl stereotype seen tons of anime with not much added on to it except that she's a decent artist and her actions aka running away from several fights screaming makamon's name and basically being mimi's assistant despite this film giving her a lot of screen time seriously what's her struggle what is her role in the story what makes her stand out from the other digidestine these three

15:34 questions i was asking as the film went on and it never really gave me an answer just by giving her a lot of screen time as a result nothing really stood out about her character than me miko yeah mei is a great character i want to see more of her or go oh no mei lost her digimon i cared about their bond so much i do hope that this issue will improve as time goes on since i'm sure they wouldn't introduce it for no reason but for now may's character is not all that interesting to me as for the story itself well like may and make human it wasn't all that interesting either it certainly existed but in terms of advancing this weird [ __ ] plot they have that's about it so instead of focusing on this plot the film instead focuses more on the issues with the digital itself and those are not absolute [ __ ] sure on the one hand matt and ty didn't really develop that much in the first movie and despite this

16:19 movie giving them screen time they don't really contribute much to this film except for getting pissy at each other seriously why did sora pick manager love her again if he's doing this [ __ ] to his friend but on the other hand i found mimi and joe's characterx to be decently handled despite not being given as much screen time as i would have liked and the resolutions to their arcs feeling a little bit rusted points i kind of liked seeing the two grow as characters throughout this film and i do hope that whenever you watch the remaining films they will do a better job of developing the remaining digi destined and or a better job with time management for the scenes related to these character arcs oh the other characters aren't all that interesting either they exist but that's about it not really all that great this time around which also includes liamon and the government agents then again if you have a movie series with nine characters all trying to have relevance in this movie of course a lot of the characters both main and secondary aren't going to be all

17:04 interesting so that's great it's almost like it was a bad idea to have this many many characters in the first place as for the remaining plot threads they are the men are just bad overall leomon coming back felt kind of pointless since he didn't really contribute much to the story except dying the builders of the festival was just boring to me and again the twist at the end was just dumb speaking of them how is it that the animation has gotten worse than it was in reunion ignoring that they reused the subpar cgi for the digimon evolution scenes in this movie there are a lot more moments of really bad looking animation than there was in the first film oh and did i forget to mention the scene where me and mimi are dancing and they just show a series of images painting across the screen yeah cause when i think of dancing i think i still images give me a freaking break movie oh and high random barrier inside the distortion would like to see you in an earlier

17:50 scene but yeah like i said in the reunion video the animation is still inconsistent in terms of quality but i've noticed more instances of bad animation compared to the first movie so i would say it's slightly worse than reunions animation audio wise not much has changed on either front a lot of the soundtrack is the same in the japanese version same with the opening in voices so not much i can say about that well the english dub retains the same theme song as the first movie some issues with that can be applied here and a lot of the voices are still about the same in terms of quality which also means i still find maki's delivery in this film to be the equivalent of reading directly off a script yes i'm aware this could be due to her va giving off a subdued performance due to her character but i'm sorry it still comes off as reading off a script to me but if that was the intent great you got me there and like i said in my last review i do

18:36 think charamilla is a good voice actor so it's not like i'm saying this because i hate them far from it i'm just not a fan of this performance so yeah with all that said let's wrap this up overall decision slash determination whichever one you want to call it is not that great of a film the story is incredibly weak the characters are all like gray and the ending feels like a really weak way to keep the series going i really wanted to like this movie and there are good traits about it but it's ultimately weighed down by a lot of bad stuff slush elements that this film contains so yeah as of this point in time i would say that this is the low point in the tri series and that is a damn shame hopefully the other films will be better than this disappointment and we'll find out next time as we take a look at the next installment of the ties series confession see you then hello everyone

19:21 and welcome back to the tribe marathon today we'll be looking at the halfway point of the series titled confession well gee i already confessed to being a casual fan what else is there to confess that this joke is predictable as [ __ ] so yeah there isn't much i can say about the backstory of this film other than my friends and i getting really pissed near the end of the movie because of the final battle so let's just dive in and see if this movie was worth the anger all those years ago so our film begins sometime after the ending of the second movie most of the main cast is doing what the audience likely did after seeing the second movie and trying to process what the [ __ ] happened while meg goes off to cry about it but when she breaks down the school mimi and sora go off to help her okay that's a good thing to do for a friend who's upset so naturally after this emotional breakdown they take her home after the school day and say not to a place of major conflict right

20:09 oh man they are shitty friends seriously your friend just had an emotional breakdown in front of you why the [ __ ] would you take or do the place where your friends who just witnessed the murder from her digimon would be that's like taking a friend who just had a panic attack to a highly populated area all right all right so what's the main plot well makeup on is quickly infecting the electronics all over the place and the main digimon are getting infected by the same virus that turned ograman into a monster so they have to stop mekumon or else the world will be in danger of losing their electronics due to the death of the digital world or some crap like that basically all that's important is that they [ __ ] it up and the digital world gets rebooted to deal with mekuman's infection causing the digimon to lose their memories until you see the final part of this movie where you realize that makimon is still around basically rendering the reboot pointless except for the digimon losing the memories because this film reveals that

20:55 mekumon was basically the source of the infection and can easily infect the digital world again it's almost like the reboot was a stupid [ __ ] idea or something especially using it in the third movie of a six movie series also yeah nothing says growth like going back to basics am i right [ __ ] this story it is so mind-numbingly stupid and as the film went on i started to care less and less about it because it got stupider and stupider and i think i figured out why that is because if these characters weren't hit with the idiot stick unlike the first two movies in the series there would likely not be much of a plot for instance in the first 20 or so minutes of the film matt talks to the government agents about what happened to make him on and ken but instead of telling matt that the zero two kids are missing or even the information that make him a moment the source of the infection maki doesn't give him the information

21:40 and the scene pretty much goes nowhere oh and to just shut down this potential point no it wouldn't really alter the friendship they had with may they made friends with ghana man and ken too former villains in the past series i really doubt much would change in terms of the friendship that they knew the [ __ ] truth hell not even diego who knows maki is lying doesn't even go to matt to tell him about what happened to the zero two kids are you kidding me i know why maki wouldn't tell them since at the end of the film we know she's involved the bad guys but daigo not telling them really that is freaking stupid but if he did tell them then they could have potentially dealt with that issue and or worked on a solution to fix the problem and the story would be wrapped up pretty quickly another example of this whole idiot stick thing is tk not telling anyone about padaman's infection sure he doesn't want to lose pademon again and this movie states that it might not have fixed anything which

22:26 well we don't know if it would have or not but if he did tell them about the infection they would have tried to work on a solution probably around the clock and there likely wouldn't be much of a story so the film paints him as an idiot just for the sake of having it it's not even just them a bunch of the other characters in this act it's stupid idiotic and if you have to do that in order to run a story then i'm sorry but i think your story fails and while i originally planned on bitching about tk's portrayal in this movie since him not telling anyone about the infections they didn't want padamon to get in trouble basically sounds like something he would have done in the first series or not now i have a bigger issue with the idea of the reboot itself since the film's story is based on the digital world slowly dying and the best solution being reboot my issue being why even do a reboot ignoring how this mucks up the continuity of the zero2

23:13 epilogue for a moment why introduce this reboot at all especially in a movie series with one of its main themes being about growth and progression by removing the memories of the digimon it's in the world back to zero you're effectively going back to basics and doing something fans of adventure already saw the digidestine becoming friends with the digimon for the first time what doesn't help this idea further is how half-assed it feels keep in mind that the reboot was intended to restore balance to the digital world since it was on the verge of collapsing yet it kept the source of the infection around despite mekuman being data part of the digital world and even if the later movies admit that the reboot was botched for the sake of continuing the story i still take issue with this reboot because not only does it make the fourth movie effectively a retread slash waste of time but it also seems like this was done for

23:58 the sake of getting the digidestine to go to the digital world which you could have done that without rebooting everything i think that's my biggest problem with this they over complicated all this when they really didn't need to he made the infection spread really quickly they made takaru incompetent and put his friends in danger potentially all for the sake of a reboot to get our characters in the digital world that is still infected i'm sorry but no i am not a fan of this this feels worthless and dumb in the grand scheme of things not only from a continuity level but in terms of the main themes of the series and since this film's story is centered around this reboot idea basically and everything going to [ __ ] the story suffers as a result on top of making the characters dumb

24:44 slash and competent for the sake of having this story so yeah [ __ ] the story [ __ ] the characters not even mei is that much better since she spends most of the movie crying about makeup on despite being told in the beginning that her friends are there for her and hell she doesn't even go to the digital world in the final bits of the movie nice to see that throughout this movie and despite being given a lot of screen time she learns [ __ ] all the music is about the same on both fronts so at least there's one positive i can say about this movie oh and the animation is slightly better than the last film until the final fight with may crackmon that is then it decides to [ __ ] the bat again and then smooths out after the fight's over but yeah this movie just [ __ ] took a lot out of me i know i could have talked about the scene where the digidestine were spending their last days of their digimon or how cars only role in the movie was to get possessed by homeostasis or that the villain sucks again but by this point i just couldn't

25:30 [ __ ] care anymore about this movie and to me this is probably worse than the movie that actively pissed me off like a silent voice because at least with that film it did piss me off with these characters but i was able to feel something towards it this film just made me feel apathetic before i hit the halfway point of this film and when i start to feel apathetic towards something i just want to turn it off and still continue it so i guess in terms of ranking these movies this will be number three sure i had issues with the last movie but at least i was able to keep my attention and do a decent job of developing joe and mimi's character arcs this one couldn't even do that hell i couldn't even care when tendon made his last stand and sacrificed himself to try and save his friends because by that point the film had drained so much out of me that i just rolled my eyes at it instead of got emotional towards the sacrifice so yeah looks like i found a new low point in this series can i get any lower tune in next time for the next installment of the

26:17 tri-series loss see you then yo are we seriously doing a loss parody in this yes now go there the doctor's waiting [ __ ] that [ __ ] bye and that's how i saved easter or something like that anyways today we're looking at the fourth movie in the digimon adventure try series and i was trying to put it off as best as i could so let's just jump right into it so after the pointless reboot of the last movie our film begins with a flashback of the original digidestine before the adventure ones where they fought against the dark masters and lost as well as seeing the birth of the four holy beasts and the death of tapiorman via the beast giving their power to him and megadramon turning himself into a bomb to try and stop the dark master and what a fat load ago that did since as we saw an adventure they were sealed up by the dark masters

27:02 really though the only reason for this flashback is to establish why monkey did the worthless review in the first place which was to see tapir man but i'll come back to whether or not i like that reunion when i talk with the characters so let's get back to the story oh wait a minute that's right there's barely much of one basically the digidestine are trying to reform the bonds with the digimon again soren b.o monorange steve about the other person may somehow comes back the group gets separated for a bit and then reunites before fighting two heavily watered down dark masters and then make your mountains evil again that's really about it oh wait a minute that's right i forgot about one thing four movies into this goddamn series they finally revealed the main antagonist you want to know who it is yingdrasil there was a main threat in two other [ __ ] digimon series seriously the why is yggdrasil even here you have a lot of bad guys already

27:48 and try why insert another one oh and spoilers we barely see this creature in the later movies so yeah that was definitely worth bringing in this character begging our worth what was the point in bringing back two of the dark masters those antagonists especially when they are this watered down seriously machine german is frozen in place by a goddamn rookie level digimon attack and then i'll seize your monster by a rookie level fire attack i know that they aren't as strong as they were in the first series because of the reboot which makes me wonder why they're even in their megaphones in the first place but whatever but that goes back to my first point why are they here then nostalgia yeah cause watching the previously threatening dark masters get their ass kicked by effectively newborn digimon was clearly worth it just like seeing an unaffected makeup might immediately go back to being infected again as if nothing was really lost and seeing me come back only to basically get

28:33 kidnapped and choked by a guy who licks women against their will i also love how this film barely answers any of the long-standing questions persisting in the series thus far like the zero two cats faye why gennady turned evil or even questions in this movie like why mekomon remembers everything how making me got them to the digital world etc but i it's okay those questions are clearly not important after all we got more nostalgia from the adventure series to move for all this worth [ __ ] the story nostalgia man i gotta help my nostalgia fix and that is probably my biggest issue with this movie story well aside from the weird [ __ ] pacing of points it seems so focused on milking stuff from the original series that it barely gives time to continue the story that he already had while also barely answering any questions from the movies and leaving in plenty of plot hiccups sure we know why monkey did the reboot

29:19 and we know that the reboot was all a part of yeager's plan to basically keep the digimon and humans from no longer interacting with each other even if the later movies screw this up a bit but whatever but that's about it and even then i couldn't care about any of this i couldn't care about yig dragon or whatever stupid plan and i was yawning during the scenes with the digimon and digidestine because it was boring me to tears and like i said in my last review that is worse than something that actively pisses me off because when this happens i just want to shut the movie off and watch something else instead seriously i just started watching ronnie attention and that was able to keep my interest longer than this [ __ ] movie i know it's not the same genre as digimon but my point still stands when it comes to interest that is [ __ ] depressing hell i couldn't even care when mei was getting choked out by dark genie because she barely did much in the [ __ ] movie it's like okay may cried like a baby instead of coming back to the digital world with her

30:05 friends in the last movie she somehow comes back in this one and aside from getting mekumon as a partner again all she really does is basically sit around and let dark get i kidnap her really hell unlike sora she doesn't even try to punch him or anything to get away she just stands there what the [ __ ] is wrong with you do you know what makes this worse that all this was done to turn makeup on into may crackmen again in other words make her evil again i'm sorry but why you have what you wanted the world got [ __ ] rebooted and wait now you want her to destroy the what yeah i know i wanted this reboot and it's all going according to plan apparently i'm kind of an idiot so yeah just destroy the world now okay thanks you're a [ __ ] idiot seriously why the [ __ ] even keep making them on a round you got what you wanted [ __ ] destroy

30:50 her [ __ ] this flat character you can easily wipe out the cat since you basically served no purpose to you now the [ __ ] reboot happened seriously is this making us only role in this series be an affection source that's the bad guy [ __ ] really it's not like she's doing much as a [ __ ] bad guy anyway she sucks just as much as the rest of them and again you have enough [ __ ] bad guys in the tri series stop making new ones you barely develop these ones speaking of gennai let's talk characters dark genei is absolutely pathetic he's not threatening far from being even slightly interesting the dude is just a pathetic creep trying to make up for the fact that he's got no real personality or intimidation factor by stealing sora's digivites and linking her creepily understanding in weak-ass versions of digimon they already dealt with before and sure i was right that the digimon emperor was in ken but this pathetic imitation isn't a good antagonist

31:36 not even close the only reason he's the threat to our heroes is because of the real actually no that's not even the case he gets his ass kicked by rookie level attacks so even during the reboot he's not intimidating or a legit threat to our heroes this is pathetic many is once again flatter than a goddamn door friend barely contributes much to the story except from what i already stated sora is still flat and i couldn't care about her character in this movie at all and the other digidescent are just [ __ ] there not much i can really say sure they interact with the digimon but they don't really leave much of an impression on me as the film went on which is [ __ ] depressing the digimon are also not all that interesting so let's just move on to maki now you guys already know i never liked maki as a character if you saw the previous try reviews but after seeing this movie i hated her more but for another reason and that's because there's one bit of this movie i wish to talk about and it's something that's been recurring with this character from the start of

32:21 the series but it was the most evident here in this movie the refusal to move forward from what happened in this movie we find out that the reason for the reboot was to see tapiarman again since he was her partner rather than moving forward like an adult would make is what happens when you refuse any helper take action to move forward from what happened in the past maki ruined the bond of the digidestined digimon erased a lot of the past sections in the digital world that they digitized and had a part in and hurt daigo her friend and former ally had a lot of steps along the way all so that she could be reunited with a part of her past in other words sheila the past consumer pretty much refused to move forward from it and ultimately ruined the digital world not through destruction like the dark masters who basically played a part in the death of a friend but through other means and you want to

33:06 know what the saddest part about all this is this is probably the best scene in the movie seeing maki get this punishment after all that she did to effectively hurt everyone in the digital world in the process just so that she could see her old digimon rather than being a [ __ ] adult and moving forward from what happened as well as get the help she needed feels like it was well deserved for her character but yeah i think you get the idea i hate maki and i like seeing her get the karma for what she did in this movie so why did i spend so much time on this scene well aside from it being my favorite scene in the film it also firmly established my opinion on maki as a character while she has her failings in terms of writing i now think that my main source of frustration with her stems from the fact that she clashes with an ideology that i

33:52 have as a viewer that it's possible for anyone that's suffering from tragedy to move forward either on their own or with help instead of let it stew inside them for years and as i said in the past if a writer can make me feel this way towards a character not through terrible writing or anything like that then i think they did a decent job as a writer to draw an emotion from the audience and i think that applies to her she's not an amazing character now far from it but my opinion of her did start to go up thanks to this movie so let's move on to the animation animation is just as inconsistent in terms of quality as the other movies in this marathon but at least the animation quality doesn't shift the bed like in the second film so there's that so again just okay in terms of this element as for the audio again just about the same in terms of quality like the japanese audio well the english one isn't out yet but i'd imagine it's about the [ __ ] same voice acting decent shitty synth english theme not

34:38 much has really changed here but yeah loss really didn't leave much of an impression on me sure the characters weren't downright [ __ ] idiots like the last move but it also didn't give me much in terms of substance except for that one scene i spent a whole [ __ ] paragraph on certainly existed and the characters and story weren't abysmal but that's really all i can say about it it's just meh geez so i guess in terms of ranking it still lost to reunion yeah i think that's the sign i should finish up this review so i'll see you guys next time for coexistence take care and well if you're ever depressed or had something from your past still hurting you in present day don't be afraid to ask for help there's always someone out there who will give you the support you need and so we have reached the ending of the adventure try marathon for at least a week or so before the final film comes out yay throughout this marathon i've seen

35:25 the movie start off on a decent note then crash and burn the next two installments and then the fourth movie left me feeling really apathetic towards it yeah that's pretty bad on my part speaking of bad though my last experience with this film prior to the review was a pretty loathsome one with my friends and i so there's that the movie literally so how about we just begin this film and see if it's just as bad as that last experience i had with it so our film begins in 1999 so likely some time after the events of the first digimon adventure where me and makima are in the forest playing hide and seek or something before we see a feather in mekomon's area after she's found now this is where things get messy for a bit see this movie explains later on that amekumon was created from a shard of pakluman stata aka the final boss of the first adventure series and it's always been an unstable one and while that would explain why makeup has these

36:12 destructive abilities as well as losing its mind due to being separated from a under being scared though i still find that [ __ ] stupid that it just randomly turned evil in the movie's ending but whatever it barely explains the infection problem it had in the first three films see if it was the source of the infection why didn't it spread six years ago in story this film showcases makeup on losing its mind to flashback yet the infection didn't spread after that i find that really hard to believe helen never become a problem after that point well apparently not since we don't see any other past instance of this for the rest of the flashback so yeah apparently it only happened once in that lab prior to try okay oh right the whole exposition scene talking about mega man's origin later on presents another story issue in the movie but i'll get to that when i get there so megragman's a thing again and despite me shouting at her to stop

36:58 me crackman's like now [ __ ] and tries to kill her i thought you only transformed because you saw make one go die why aren't you calming down now that you see that she's alive oh right right now the pokemon data is preventing that from happening simply me so wait why isn't it trying to kill gennady then if it really is insane wants to stop it from killing him right plot armor tip [ __ ] doesn't do much in this movie so [ __ ] him but nah let's just have a try and kill me and then [ __ ] off after failing to do that you know get eyes probably still on the ship or nearby you could probably kill him no you're just gonna ignore him okay [ __ ] you too so as a result of the evolution it opens up riffs in the digital world and the digimon begin to enter said riffs ending up in the real world and everything begins to go to [ __ ] again oh you mean like the third movie gee it's almost like what happened in the third movie should have happened in this movie or something save for the worthless reboot but unlike the third movie i'm okay with

37:44 it happening here why because in terms of story progression this makes sense this is the penultimate act of the series it's expected for everything to go to hell so that in the climax they can fight the source of all this destruction and then in the series on a happy note or at least enter with the defeat of the source this thing is known as rising action if you know about your plot diagrams and [ __ ] where it keeps the viewers on edge as the problem gets worse for the characters and makes you wonder how they're going to get out of it samurai jack's final season out of this with episode nine and a lot of later power rangers series have this in the first part of the finales it's an effective way to get people excited for the climax of the series which is why i have an issue with that being done in the third movie of this six movie series everything going to [ __ ] and progressively getting worse for our heroes is something that most good stories don't let happen in the middle of it if the examples i gave about happened in the

38:29 middle of their series and did it again near the end of the series it would be kind of stupid wouldn't it it's basically the equivalent of having two climaxes and a story and i don't understand the point of it in movies especially since most of the time the second climax is basically the same as the first but with really really minor differences and well why not just remove the first climax and use that time to build up towards the now main climax instead it just feels like a waste of time honestly and i just don't understand the point of it i know it sounds like a minor complaint but this is something that could have been fixed really [ __ ] easily anyways this whole tangent about basic plot diagrams went up for far too [ __ ] long so let's just get back on topic shall we so after the scene of digital mayhem hackmon a guy i didn't mention in the last review because all he did was give exposition shows up to what a shock get more exposition hooray basically all he states during the scene

39:14 is the origin of makeup on which i already covered so i'm not gonna repeat it here as well stating that me and her are partners for the sake of keeping make money powers and mouth and even the movie admits that the purpose doesn't mean much when making mon goes crazy since it doesn't even care about me in that form yeah it's nice to see the movie admit that mate's only purpose in this series is pretty much worthless making mine goes crazy just this lovely great beacon of lovely we also find out that since the reboot failed to suppress it only now has homeostasis decide to kill makeup on so let me get this straight the reboot failed miserably to stop it instead of sending out a threat to kill it when it's weak and sells the power to infect last movie you only decide now when everything is [ __ ] to kill it that is really dumb movie yeah we could have killed it when it popped up again in the real world but since it was apparently

40:00 suppressed by clear signs of the distortion still being there in the last movie we just couldn't do anything about it sorry hell here's a genius idea when you rebooted the world maybe g i don't know ah destroy apocamon after all that chart is likely the reason for making one's insanity and you admit that it has a shot of a pokemon inside it no pokemon no makeup on or at least that's shard well that doesn't work maybe send someone a purify make come on over insanity slash darkness and remove the threat of the distortion and reflection instead of killing it there but hey i get it after all there's clearly no digimon out there that could do that let alone destroy being of darkness oh wait yeah andrew woman in her first [ __ ] appearance destroyed myotism in the original series with a holy era of lie through his chest and she potentially has other attacks that could potentially kill or purify the apocalypse shot let alone the darkness inside make him on just do that

40:47 there helen has a lot of darkness and crap inside of megamon so we could freeze her in place with that same air attack she used in the first series before she fires the holy [ __ ] arrow and even if it is stronger than angel woman it could at least potentially purify the infection slash chaos inside her or at least a bit of it and there you go or hell another certainly [ __ ] idea maybe have it fail and then require her to devolve into a funny man to finish the job oh but i hear you cry how would that work if the poster has fallen down mode on it well maybe have mega mom be purified have homeostasis or egg yourself you absolutely have to have him in the movie be pissed at this and infect funny man turning a volume onto a fallen angel slush fallen down mode powered by the two individuals or one either or and have that be the final boss of the [ __ ] series and have may slash megaman be involved in saving gadomon since karine got him on saved her in this situation just saying that there were literally hundreds of ideas before or

41:33 after the fourth movie this guy could have went with that might have worked better than sitting on their ass and not doing anything about the problem until it's too late and or sending someone who has this movie will show can't even defeat mankind in its mega form even then this makes me wonder was the only purpose of including homeostasis and try just to make it an antagonist for our heroes to stop really you got enough [ __ ] bad guys movie stop it anyways homeostasis and stupidity and all the other crap i said above aside we cut to may what a shock crying again about makeup on christ we're five movies into this [ __ ] and all may has really done in the last couple has been sitting on our ass and crying about making a yeah cause that makes me wanna like name more crying about her problems instead of trying to do something about it no instead her friends are the ones who have to take action as they remind me again that makeup matters to her to abandon her that they're friends and all

42:18 this advice that may have pretty much ignored up to this point in the series and yet in this movie it actually works she does start to slightly grow as her own person what yeah i'm serious great finally it only took you four [ __ ] movies to do that but fine i'll take it and yeah outside of me and thai the other characters don't really add much to this movie income it was really boring and interesting as well even kari just by being possessed by homostasis suffers the issue as well so yeah character element isn't all that great in this movie outside of this dude great [ __ ] lovely so make rock mon attacks and facilities in the real world gennady sends the digits into the real world that they can experience despair some crap this is like one of the only few [ __ ] things he does in this movie by the way he is so worthless and they're taken in by the police this guy choose the man over the digimon disappearing and that they're evil they say that they are basically this goes on

43:03 for some time until daigo shows up and does something other than contribute to hackmon's exposition attack and that is take them out of custody and put them in the school for the time being he tells them that homeostasis wants to kill makeup on despite again not doing anything in the last [ __ ] movie to deal with the problems but he clearly still being able to infect and we saw the [ __ ] distortions and then we cut to later that night where they spend about 10 minutes telling ghost stories and crap before they talk about how they'll say make him on and all that [ __ ] jargon and while you take issue with the pacing there is a thing i like about this scene and that is when me and ty have some time to themselves to talk about their bonds with the digimon and the like it's a nice scene between the two helped by the two individuals having good chemistry with each other on screen and the dialogue from ties in about stuff you can't see is an adult and vice versa so it's pretty decent given the theme of growth and the digi distance issues with the future has seen the series thus far it might be a short scene but it does a good job with the two characters in question so while the 10

43:49 minutes i mentioned does have pacing issues like the rest of the [ __ ] movie there is one scene in it that i do like so yeah another small positive in this movie and hey another positive comes up not too long after that may stands up to make crackmon and blames herself what happened taking responsibility and action in the same scene all right yes my opinion of her starting to get better with this she's showcasing that she's grown and isn't going to cry anymore about megumon this is really good too bad they [ __ ] ruin it in the next scene by having them question if by attacking maker man again they'll potentially become infected even though there wasn't any infections in the last [ __ ] movie and yeah yeah [ __ ] spoiler alert they don't become infected in this either almost like they abandoned the whole infected digimon idea in favor of distortions now it's time for a fight scene after an almost minute long evolution sequence [ __ ] off and yeah the animation is just

44:34 okay and this i'm just gonna flat out stated while the character models look really really weird at points or just flat out ugly it still flows decently and everything else works about it so it's like okay whatever i'm not gonna hate on the animation i've talked enough about it in this marathon it's just about the same in terms of quality so i'm just going to move on i just figured i'd address that because probably one of the only good things about this [ __ ] battle scene i'm going to say right now so hackman shows up in his mega form and kill me come on finally what the [ __ ] took you so long but megaman goes into their mega form in terms of this weird looking thing also apparently homeostasis is one of them to protect makeup on and then they begin to question who their true enemy and all this is and honestly i'm asking the same thing is mekuman the main bad guy of this is it yiddrasil dark gennady is it homeostasis itself we're five movies in and they can't seem

45:20 to make up their [ __ ] minds on who they want the primary antagonist to be and it gets worse by the end of this movie my friends it's almost like you shouldn't have kept making new bad guys for each movie and just focused on the ones you had or something fancy [ __ ] that even if they want to pull the whole jig drastile and homeostasis they're both wrong it doesn't negate the issue that this film series is way too many [ __ ] antagonists and or that all of them are blindfolds or interesting christ even some of the monster of the weak films in adventure 1 were more interesting than these guys and that is [ __ ] sad because these are antagonists were supposed to be taking seriously [ __ ] so they have their stupid [ __ ] fight just one's about to fall on maybe the makemon saves her no i'm sorry i'm sorry what she literally tried to kill her earlier in the movie and earlier when may was talking to her she went h instead of calm down no movie i am not buying this [ __ ] at all but hey if we don't have this scene then they

46:06 can't fight against just one and it would just be these two fighting so screw that let's have the digitised and fight against jazmine and let cary be possessed by homeostasis again before kari somehow overpowers it in gains control again also dark genius here for some reason no it's not explained how also let's just have makeup on be taken into the digital world instead of just killing her then or using an attack to do with the other megas because as a messenger of balance and stability just mod apparently likes to over complicate things yeah a good job of killing making monomial stasis you should be [ __ ] proud so they get back to the digital world just man is overpowered by nicki mons mega again great job homeostasis and then fights omegamon for a bit before alpha man shows up for some goddamn [ __ ] reason and fights the two yeah it's not explaining why the [ __ ] alpha man shows up or even why alpha man wants to defend make him on now despite wanting to kill it in the first movie except maybe that has worked for you so for no reason since it's never got an

46:52 answer but who cares let's invite jesmonds to have a rematch with the mega man because we need a gig just sold for some yoshi's battle for some goddamn reason so we cut to maki in the dark ocean for some god damn reason and also they [ __ ] up her gun in this shot last scene with her in it was a stupid looking rifle and now it's a regular pistol consistency like just monster shomeostasis it sucks at its job and before you ask no her scene doesn't bear much importance to the overall story it's just her going crazy again so yeah nice use of your runtime movie so they fight some more make its whiny again and then they get pissed when mei and ty agree to kill makuman um guys are you [ __ ] serious you had no qualms with killing imperial german in the second movie and fighting ken before he knew with gennai so why is this stopping you did you forget imperial germain was the dna did evolution of davis and ken's digimon and

47:37 he dissipated into nothing well i complain now especially when you were oh gee i don't know ally slush friends with davis and ken and their digimon but no it's only bad here because megamas mega protected me that one time and that instantly means he cares about may now and shouldn't be killed or monavie would ever [ __ ] them in their partners we got a cat to say [ __ ] off movie also did you guys just [ __ ] forget what happens to a digimon when it receives a fatal wound or what happened to angemon after he sacrificed himself in the original series it can be reborn as a digi egg even then you are literally putting the fate of the world at risk to protect the digimon that they have seen for themselves come back after a goddamn reboot if it can survive that it can come back as an egg and even if it can't you are literally risking the world ending just to protect one digimon did you forget what happened the last time you ignored the sake of

48:22 the world for your own selfish desires the world got [ __ ] rebooted so yeah movie you can take this existential crisis to killing mekumon and shove it so just mon finally decides to try and kill makeup on but alpha man [ __ ] it up and nukes a bunch of the area tai is quote unquote killed makeup on is knocked unconscious and cary gets possessed by some crap and no it's not homeostasis because it's a different glow i guess it might be homeostasis and negatives will combine your digimon turns and falling down mode digivolves with mickey mouse mega to make a fusion and then comes out as this this [ __ ] thing what the hell am i looking at yeah so um let's run italian how many bad guys we have now in the series you have dark gennady yik maybe homeostasis just mon alphamod and now this fusion called dergemon all of which are still around and all of which haven't been stopped

49:08 and this is the movie ends folks with their demon going into the real world to try and merge it together with five
