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...

You are not alone in hating Meikuumon. I never trusted the little Fanfiction original character brought to life (seriously, he's like a male Gatomon, right down to the 'also a Champion' nonsense).

@Topic:

So we end on a shitty cliffhanger as Meicoomon goes apeshit and kills Leomon. God damn guys, always Leomon. But hey, this is the universe where very Digimon gets reborn anyways (If Ogremon isn’t smashing eggs that is) so it’s not a big deal.

Digimon that die in the Real World don't get a Respawn. Remember the Wizardmon deal? (Myotismon hijacked a guy, so he got a way out).

Plus, Rosemon has like, what, 2 minutes of screentime total? The low number seems more a product of the briefness of her appearance than restraint.

Seriously though, I don't want to see Palmon jiggle. That's gross.

I don't really get the "Meicoomon is a crappy fanfiction oc" stuff. Digimon has like over a thousand different monsters, there is nothing peculiar about a new one being brought in. Plus Meicoomon is an Adult for literally the exact same reason Tailmon is. Being brought in at a point where everyone else is already around Perfect level at least, having to work in an extra evolution for the new guys is just not efficient. It doesn't really have anything to do with them trying to emulate Tailmon.

[Matrixbeast]

The reason why Meicoomon is getting scorned is because her and Mei are our real main characters in what should be Adventure: 5 years later (Or 2 years or something...Whatever. I forgot how old they were in 02...).
So when you have Mei crushing on Taichi and basically immediately integrated into the group with an OG Digivice, and Meicoomon, a mysterious Digimon that is inexplicably linked to the strange virus, it really does feel more like a fanfiction rather than a continuation of the story.

Also: I just hate breast jiggle. It's unnecessary, and really messes up with the tone of things. This isn't a beach scene.
For more unnecessary Rosemon bouncing, watch Savers, specifically the Belphemon fight (I believe). She can't even turn her head without her breasts having a seizure.

[barnstenchfartface]

I mean, yeah, I get that to an extent, I guess I just think some of the complaints are kinda reaching. I don't see any particular parallels between Meicoomon and Tailmon, and her/his (What gender is even Meicoomon) Adult level is just a practical thing. Meiko having an old Digivice isn't really particularly noteworthy either, as 02 showed a ton of people have them.

I guess I haven't thought too much about Mei and Mei (their names are so similar tho there's gotta be something there, right...?) being essentially the main characters...I mean, she was barely in Saikai from what I remember, she did kinda have a central role in the slower parts of Ketsui, but that feels more like "spend some time properly introducing your new characters" focus than "here's your new mc" focus.

I suppose I see how it can be seen as having fanfiction elements, but as a new installment in the series I guess I just see having at least some new characters as a natural thing. Having those characters be integral to the plot and creating new dynamics in the group is just a logical extension of that. But when I think about it, I guess we have spent more time getting to know Mei than with most of the original Aventure kids. Hm. Shrugs, man.

Then again, with Meicoomon going crazy and bailing who knows how big a role (s?)he'll play in future installments. If she...he...it?'s in it as much as Alphamon and Imperialdramon were in theirs posters' movies, well, we sure won't be seeing a lot of...them.

I suppose I may also be influenced by the fact that I just watched a really good anime in which Meiko's va voiced a main character, and man she does not get enough roles. Her voice may be sneakily making me like her. I dunno.

But yeah, screw boob jiggle, but in this case specifically, even more than usual. And I was like, "hey they didn't use the hot springs for dumb fanservice, way to go tri" only for them to go "but with mons it's ok, right" later...eh.

(i guess that is a spoiler?)

And yeah, I started Savers a bit ago. totally looking forward to getting to Rosemon, and of course, Rosemon Boobst Mode -_-

[Matrixbeast]

I don't agree with the Gato/Tailmon comparisons, but otherwise, I just can't really remove the thought of Mei just being something I'd think up during one of my Digimon marathons (Also, I'm pretty sure Meicoomon is a girl).

Mei isn't the crux of the plot, I'll give you that, but she has felt more of a vital character than anyone else. Even in the episode that was supposed to feature Joe prominently had more Mei than anyone else. Joe's revelations felt rushed because we needed Mei being a shy anime girl for half the movie.
Also, I just feel that, with Meicoomon's recent reveal, that her role is going to grow from tagger on to a more predominant and active one, forcing herself into the spotlight.

I could be entirely wrong and she'd just end up being just a prominent addition, rather than our true main character, but just using my knowledge of tropes and Digimon's penchant for weak twists, I have my doubts.

Also, I'm not going to lie. Her digivice turning black with a red glow basically feels like something I'd see on Deviant Art, which is probably what painted her as the ultimate OC Donut Steal in my eyes

Also, have fun with Savers. Mercifully, Rosemon isn't one giant jiggle scene. Only during "Epic" fights (Where they get more "Dynamic" animation) is when she becomes eye-rollingly bad.

But that's the thing; they already demonstrated that they could break the rules with Myotismon. Either Leomon's data got through the portal or Koushiro somehow saved Leomons data on his server. Or they just completely ignore the rules and Leomon just hatches out of a egg like usual.

I don’t believe Leomon will stay dead.

[barnstenchfartface]

On the subject of Meicoomon in general though...it really can't be a coincidence that their names are so similar, right? They even shorten both their names to just "Mei" pretty often, and then there's Meicoomon being so unstable when left alone...I wonder if it's gonna be a thing like with Guilmon, where Meiko made up her own Digimon, except in this case it resulted in it being really messed up or something? And it's basically her imaginary friend so it can't function too well without her around or...something. One way or another, there's something weird going on with her, obviously...

...also, this is pretty random and unrelated, but was anyone else expecting them to alternate the ending visual between a picture of the guys and the girls? It's so weird that it's just Takeru, Yamato, Taichi and Izumi there the whole time. Even more so since it's Seven...

after water part 2 i will say this hime-chan as i will call her i think actuley main villin i mean i could swear she smiled as soon as leomon died while every one shocked she smiled like she expected it and she always new from begining that meicoomon is source of every thing she even mention it. i plus them saying they have way to know where the ifected digimon popping up are going to be i think that hackmons doing. other then that i think hime-chan acting shocked bout ken and every thing she realy is the one that knew bout meicoomon and she could of been also the one that given mei meicoomon in the first place for her plan.

I noticed this as well and wanted to bring it up earlier, but I couldn't remember that chicks name for the life of me and I wasn’t sure if she smiled or if that was just a neutral expression, but she did smile, didn’t she?

There was also something going on with her talking to someone unknown, so I bet she knows something. I don’t think she's the main villain but she does help him in some way.

We probably get a little back-story in the next part of how a Digimon killed her parents or something like that.
