How much of an asshole would I be if I said I don't care about Meicoomon?

Well, what is there for me to say? A lot, actually, but I didn't feel like composing my thoughts.
I like the development for Joe and Mimi, easily the two characters with the least amount of love in Adventure (Mimi was loud, but she was also rather static, if I recall. She didn't really grow in the original series). So I'm glad we're looking more into them. Strangely, I thought Joe's story was going to be the more compelling one, but Tri manages to do the impossible and make me like Mimi more. I enjoy someone finally confronting her over her boisterous ways, striking her down for not considering all parties involved. I particularly enjoyed how she reacted. She didn't break down or just start apologizing to everyone, but she moved in a more realistic manner. She got angry, but she calmed down, and realized that she was in the wrong. Her recovery was quite nice, too, when she met up with Joe, who was going through his own problems (Obviously), where she got confirmation that she can be obnoxious. It was rather nice, and Mimi is easily proving to be my favorite character in Tri.

Joe, Joe, Joe. Honestly, Joe's story felt a little weak. I understood why he was doing the things he does, don't get me wrong. Doubts over why he was chosen, stress over school and trying to become a proper adult, and even knowing how his friends would react when he finally does show up (I've made that same play by play in my head, too. I'm right there with ya, Jo). But it just felt like it was moving in circles until Gomamon left. I like the resolution of Joe fighting for his friend, rather than obligation as if it's his job or life to fight.

Vikemon was hype. Rosemon would've been if not for Savers, since Savers kind of showcased everything Rosemon could do and more. Oh well, I will take ANY chance to see fuckface, I mean Imperialdramon lose ("But Maytricks, he was clearly taking a dive." Shut up. Give me this because these movies are about an hour longer than they need to be. Funnily enough, I actually thought the Perfect/Ultimate evolution was more interesting than the Mega/Ultimate evolution. Fighting was solid and the action was cool, if a little too laser-y for my tastes (Though Ogremon vs. Togemon was pretty fun).

Goddammit, Leomon died again. It's gone from a funny coincidence to an intentional reference at this point...

I like the humor the Digimon bring. They're quite fun to watch, and they break up the out of place drama quite nicely. The humor here was also rather fun. Koushiro's face after seeing Mimi in a cheerleader's outfit was beautiful, and the Digimon bugging Leomon to take them to the school fair was adorable (And so was Leomon's reactions to Meicoomon). The bathhouse scene was fun because it wasn't used for pointless reasons to have the girls nude, so I'm glad.

Knife of Day is gone. World of the Knife is all that matters now.

Am I missing anything?
Oh yeah, Ken is back as the Digimon Kaiperor or whatever. We'll see where that goes.
Also, Huckmon. Do something or get the fuck out. I'm serious. If I have another scene where it cuts to him just standing there ominously, then just cutting back to the cast for no reason, I'm going to scream.

That all? I dunno, but god, this movie was a sit. I will say it was better than the first because it followed up on things and stuff actually happened, so it was more entertaining. However, while the jokes were more on point and the drama actually made me more invested, I still have a feeling of emptiness while watching Tri. I'm not enjoying things as much as I should be...
