Only time travel can fix this mess now...

So to clarify: Miharu's story could have worked but not like this.

The first problem with her terrorist attacks is that she aimed at absolutly innocent people. My first act of change would be here: she still commits terrorist attacks, but she only, ONLY targets people that are connected to Chairman Wong (or atleast people she thinks are connected to him, therefore we can keep the plot point of Tomoro understanding her but can't support her because for 1. Yes, Miharu i understand you are angry at them but those are still innocent and 2. Cool motive Miharu, still murder)

Then what i previously mentioned is that i'd change Miharu's approach to her sister's suicide. Miharu, still can be obsessed with her sister's death and be mad at Chairman Wong about it, but let's forget the cultish "Digimon are superior to humans, so we must bow to our new overlords" approach. It made no sense at all to get to that conclusion, seeing Miharu's flashback to her sister.

However if Miharu took what i said as her focus (that her sister was an avid believer that "Digimon are not glitches, but humanity's children, therefor we must treat them better and be more lenient with them than normally") that's far more compelling and ACTUALLY relatable to Tomoro - who spend the whole entire first storyline learning this, but he understands that humanity is still not ready for this step and also just because digimon are our children we mustn't be so lenient with them - than that Digimon are essencially our new gods.

Third thing i'd have changed is that due to this ^ tiny detail change: Miharu is far more protective of Mephismon, of whom she now thinks of as if she was her niece, and Mephismon's line would even gain meaning then that "i'm just granting your wish".

Because she behaves just like a well meaning little niece that is just following orders from her "aunt".

Basically forget the whole "Miharu is thinking of her sister's wish only" story element. Miharu is doing all these terrible, but understandable terrorist attacks(delete the whole entire episode where she makes Jokermon attack a FKIN HOSPITAL-> Tomoro's brother) because she got left with a niece, her big sister no longer can take care of.

It'd even mirror her sister's story, how the fact that their parents died left her in a position where she needed to raise Miharu alone and had to sacrifice a lot to raise her. Now that she is dead, Miharu has to sacrifice a lot to "raise" Mephismon, but her version is twisted like this. Where her sister harmed no one, Miharu has harmed others.

ehhh i get what they tried to achieve, but they wrote what'sherface stupidly. I did like that she got her lawful punishment, but i hate how Tomoro and Gekkomon insist that she join them. No bruh, that girl tried to kill your brother.

Yes, yes "main character is altruistic" i get it... and yeah they relate to each other a lot yeah i get it... the writer team didn't make a good job making me understand ... erhmmm Mephismon's owner. I cared more about Mephismon if anything, i was waiting for her to declare how SHE is heartbroken over her original owner's death.

No... no she's effectively sidelined, a djin.

>_>

Digimon are supposed to be humanity's children in this show. And a competent writer would have pulled on that string instead of what'sherface's misguided terrorism mission.

Think Tomoro and Gekkomon for example. To Tomoro Gekkomon is a reincarnation of his childhood innocence, therefore he has to be fatherly towards Gekkomon.

Wizardmon and her og owner's tragedy is that (i am simplifying now really hard because the show didn't go into details how close they were exactly) "mother and daugther" were separated and very Romeo and Juliet like, she thought Wizardmon is dead, so she killed herself. (the execution on that part of this story arc were ABYSMAL but ok... we understood and that's what matters)

and this... 10 yearish girl is now flung into this rage and her connection to Mephismon is completely let go of. They are next to each other and interact meaningfully at a grand total of maybe 1 time.

If i would have done it, i wouldn't have changed on her terrorism approach, but if her goal was "Big Bad Old Dude, accept that digimon are here and they are part of us, our "children"!" instead of "My sister's wish this, my sister's wish that".

Like imagine... she got mad obviously because her big sister killed herself so that stays the same, but what she focuses on is that "Digimon are not glitches, they are our children and i'll force you to admit it to the world, because my sister died over this." is much more compelling than "my sister's wiiiiiiish, ohh right i forgor what her actual wish was oops"

Since i'm achivement hunting with Macaque in the old world again, this time i use his toon to show you....
