Wonder why Edge decided to join this sinking ship.


Stream later.
Because all his buddies are there. Mainly Christian, and he wants to do one more story with his boy, before he fully retires. I suspect this run will only last about 2, maybe 3 years at most.
 
Spoilers for the Digimon 02 movie coming out (it's already out in Japan, hence the spoilers)
So the Digivices ENSLAVE the Digimon, this apparently to explain why they are so fearless in the face of death. You know, as opposed to them just being brave by nature and caring about the kids enough to fight for them.

The slave thing also doesn't work in the way the film wants it to (ie to instill doubt as to how real the kids friendships with the Digimon are) because there are multiple instances of the Digimon either disagreeing, disobeying or straight up working against their kid. The most obvious example of the latter being Wormmon.

Not to mention (though this shouldn't surprise me as this is a 02 product) it completely flies in the face of continuity. Taichi and Hikari were already able to befriend and make a Digimon evolve before they even had Digivices, the Digivices were only created to HELP with that process.

This shit just SCREAMS that they wanted to make it darker and more morally ambiguous for the sake of it but didn't stop to think weather or not the retcon actually made sense or hadn't already been contradicted by both seasons of Adventure.

Fuck this shit, leave Adventure alone and stop doing unnecessary retcons. It's not like I don't like Digimon being dark (Tamers is my favorite season for fuck's sake) but this is not how you do it.
 

It's why it legit gets me that people pretend RWBY is "Deeper than it is" when even under Monty Oum, the series was as deep as a fucking puddle. It was obvious as hell Monty for all of his ability did not know how to write or even practiced how(Which is amazing considering he DOES know how to do Environmental Storytelling through his Haloid and Dead Fantasy series) that even THEN it was still better(though not by much) than how the latest seasons of RWBY went after his death.

The sheer fact that these... idiots can't even follow the simple doctrine of "Show, Don't Tell" to the point where they now expect people to actually understand critical plot points when you don't do anything to show at all that it's vital just tells you that Miles, Kerry and Eddy are so much worse than Monty Oum in storytelling, it baffles me that Monty Oum hired them because "They was writing Red Vs. Blue"(Which look at what happened to that).

Like My Hero Academia is too high of a bar, I would rather watch a cutscene only of FFXV 5 times before I would ever watch RWBY once.
 
Thats retarded,i'm at this point of my life if they start milking a series and start pushing retcons i just ignore it and stop buying their shit

If they want to make this at least don't retcon a beloved childhood series
 

My thoughts exactly, bureido coming correct as always

Guess this is the end of an era for digimon.
