Digimon Tri

Was I supposed to like that? I thought it was going to be like Revenge of Diaboromon, but instead all I got was bad fan fiction. Meiko couldn't be more of a self-insert character if she tried, though there's probably some plot element there because her Digimon's name is also Meiko. They also went the Tamers route with a secret organization monitoring everything. At first I thought the scene where it's implied that Alphamon defeated or killed the other four from season two was just for drama, but the main eight Digidestined don't even mention their absence or acknowledge that they existed at all (which is weird since in Revenge of Diaboromon, Yolei was wearing the same uniform as Kari). The best part was seeing the Digimon back in action (Kuwagamon must REALLY hate Tai because it looked like he had it out for him). And from there it gets worse. This was probably only a fraction of the damage that Myotismon and his forces did, but everyone's acting like it's the worst thing since Highton View Terrace. Because of that, Tai has a Heroic BSOD, which causes Matt to fight with him until he snaps out of it (Matt and Tai fighting is the equivalent of Raph and Leo fighting, only Matt's the one in the right this time). The Digimon also have to go into hiding in a pocket dimension Izzy created because the media and the public hate all Digimon (much like today's political climate). Back to the bad fan fic aspect, whoever wrote this ships Izzy and Mimi together while TK has a girlfriend who isn't Kari (but he still claims he loves Matt the most, and Matt appropriately calls him an idiot for it). Sora is still trapped between Tai and Matt, and I wonder if they're actually going to let her do anything for a change since all she'd been doing is waiting. Joe has to study all the time, which keeps him out of the action, but he always gets D's so why is he letting himself be miserable? He claims to have a girlfriend because he's the oldest but nobody believed him (although it got Izzy to shut up - everyone else just started having this whole conversation without him). Also, this was billed as a movie but it's just four episodes aired together. Make up your mind, Toei! The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I have no answers.

Everything I love gets demolished. So many places I went to regularly as a child have been torn down, and nothing can replace them in my heart.
