Alright, my thoughts on the 3rd storyline ending in Digimon Beatbreak...
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"
Gahhhh this storyline could have been so good, such fumble!!!!
