Sometime ago i made an ask about something Tamers related and you stated that it wasn't a season you like. Not judging, but... how is Appmon more intresting to you than Tamers? A season praised for its plot, obscure themes and a more mature approach to "What are digimons for?". Please, don't get me wrong, you can like whatever you want, is just something i want to know.
I mean I do like Tamers, I do think itās a very good season, easily better than Appmon and many other seasons in the franchise. And I donāt think Iād call Appmon more interesting than Tamers. Itās just a preference thing.
I prefer my kids shows being lighthearted with like sprinkles of dark, serious stuff mixed in there for flavor, and for me Tamers feels like the opposite; a dark hearted show with happy moments sprinkled in.
In my mind, dark stuff in lighthearted shows feels way darker because it can be such a drastic deviation from the ānormalā lighthearted stuff, because thereās a lot of contrast between the two. Meanwhile in a story where thereās only good stuff without the bad, the good, happy moments wonāt feel as happy because thereās nothing to compare it to; we donāt know how bad things could get. Ā Ā Ā Same goes vice versa, a story thatās sad or dark stuff only wonāt feel nearly as sad or dark if we donāt know what happy times are like. And while Tamers isnāt just all sad, dark stuff, like there is happiness sprinkled in there, the happiness kinda gets lost in the dark for me.
This isnāt to say I donāt like dark shows, I can and do watch them on occassion and enjoy them for sure, I love angst and shows thatāre just dreary and sad. Hell I might on occassion prefer a super angsty story over a lighthearted one with absolutely no darker in there. But for me, shows that I can truly make emotional connections with are the lighthearted ones. The ones that inspire hope and all that good stuff, and Tamers doesnāt do that for me.
The balance of happy/sad stuff and the tone of a story can be super important for me. There is no true, right balance, but I know how I prefer those two things to be balanced, and everyone has a different preference.
TL:DR; I like uplifting shows and Tamers is anything but uplifting in my mind, so because of that I kinda prefer shows that imo arenāt better than Tamers over it. Itās just preference
