We have almost 1400 especies of different Digimon, and this OVA brings back at least 4 old villains...tri. is making a mockery of us the true fandom. I can't believe this lack of judgement of those who suddenly pop up pretending to call themseleves "fans" while the only thing they know about the franchise is Digimon Adventure or Digimon World and nothing else Click to expand... That's an amazing load of crap.



To say nothing of the fact that we don't know the context of the returning villains, the reason you bring back pre-existing characters to a story is they MEAN SOMETHING to the audience/fans.



tri. has actually been quite specific in what characters it's using.





And of course, I'm not sure what makes you the arbiter or who is or isn't a 'true' fan.





If someone likes the one bit they grew up with, there isn't really much wrong with that.







I mean, I grew up with Transformers, and I quite love it. But I haven't read Regeneration One, the 'official' continuation of the original comics. Because I'm just not interested in it after skimming the first issue.





Maybe while ranting about who you consider a true fan or not you should consider if you are acting in a way that makes fans want to be more involved in the fandom, or if you just make us look like jerks.

I think things are getting a bit out of context here. Let's be honest, from what we've seen from tri. so far, they are milking in an exorbitant way the nostalgia and affection that many of us feel for Digimon Adventure, with which we have grown up, and the problem here is that this tendency often degenerates into incoherent full-of-plot-holes stories. And it is exactly what I mean to say, that the fact that so many villains are being recycled is another example, it is not being properly justified their intervention in the series (Kuwagamon or Orgemon are good examples), they are simply forcing their appearance, no matter what, in order to appeal to the kind of audience that only knows Adventure to incite them to see the anime, without taking into account other issues such as plot quality. I have seen many comments around the Internet since yesterday affirming things like: "It is natural that old villains appear in tri, it's Adventure after all and it must be like this", what kind of huge fallacy is this? To begin with, in a sequel (as for example 02 is from Adventure and Young Hunters from Xros Wars) it is perfectly plausible that the main group face new villains and challenges perfectly developed, although in some cases they can show some sort of connection with its season of origin, but in a logical way (see BelialVamdemon or Quartzmon). And secondly, I do not care if this villain or another appears to be honest, but I need this to be credible to believe the story. And the truth is that what we have seen in tri. so far it's certainly an important amount of inconsistencies (being the children from 02 the biggest of them) that far from solving some questions that were pending, are bringing more questions to the table than before that also need to be solved. And I'm not saying that whoever likes the idea of ​​the reappearance of the Dark Masters is less or more fan of the franchise, I'm not the one to determine something like that, but you have to distinguish between who is "Digimon Adventure fan" and " Digimon fan", which means that even if you do not like everything you see about the franchise, at least you're willing to see it in a critical way. And I want to highlight that above all, I hope that tri. surprises me in the future and I have to lament having put all these issues in question.
