Ok, I hate Tri.
I thought that S2 was bad, but Tri is AWFUL! It's literally painful to watch. The original Digimon Adventure series really struck a unique balance—it was lighthearted and adventurous at its core, but wasn’t afraid to tackle deeper, more emotional themes like sacrifice, grief, and growing up. The pain and challenges the characters faced were always framed within a context of resilience, friendship, and hope. That made the emotional moments powerful because they weren’t overwhelming or constant—they were earned, and they meant something.

Tri, on the other hand, seems to think that maturity equals nonstop tragedy, angst, and drawn-out trauma. Instead of deepening the characters, it often reduces them to vessels for suffering—especially the Digimon. Meicoomon... Vgh... She suffers constantly, and when she finally dies, it doesn’t feel cathartic—it feels cruel. There’s no real sense of healing or triumph. I mean—there's not even an egg left as it was with Chocomon, she's just DEAD! And Meiko now has a life-long trauma from losing her closest friend...

Nah. Torturing Digimon is not my thing at all.

I'd say - not THAT bad. It's still noticeably weaker than the Season 1.

I didn't know that. I just re-watched the Original series first time in more than 20 years, and then decided to try all the sequels. Well, I missed nothing in my childhood. Nothing really valued except for Season 1.

The original Adventure really is the best show, Tamers comes close right after, some people put it above but I really do like the sense of... well, ADVENTURE of adventure, it's one of those shows that stays permanently in my head every time I think of childhood wonder.
That said, a lot of other seasons have good arcs or standalone episodes. For example Ghost Game's overarching plot is literally a nothing burger but I do like a lot of episodic stories anyways.

Is it a Pokemon clone or something?

No? It has nothing in common with Pokemon, at least not anymore than Digimon as a whole.
It's written by the Serial Experiments Lain guy, it's well-done and the production values are the best of that early era imo

Then do NOT watch Kizuna & 02: The Beginning movies.

Thanks. I'll check it. Maybe it will somehow mitigate the disappointment from the Adventure sequels. On the other hand, completely different characters...

This is what I watched so far:

Digimon Adventure Movie 1
Digimon Adventure
Digimon Adventure: Our War Game
Digimon Adventure 02
Digimon Adventure 02: Hurricane Touchdown
Digimon Adventure 02: Revenge of Diaboromon
Digimon Adventure Tri (partly)

I dropped during the 4th movie and just read how Tri ended and watched the final scenes.

Dude, if you really are into Digimon franchise just watch Tamers, Savers, Xros Wars and Ghost Game.
Colon and Frontier are optional.

Ironically, but the Original series is more mature than both S02 and Tri.

Primarily due to the more "mature" tones of the stories , them being built more around character interaction and interpersonal drama than shonen battles and black-and-white good guys kicking the bad guys in the ass with the power of friendship type shit and generally most shonen fans having an aversion to anything that they perceive as lame and/or feminine, which includes melodrama, characters talking about their feelings and trying to solve things without murder, characters losing, etc.
Tamers does a lot better than Tri and Kizuna though, both of those are lower in quality AND have the caveat of being nostalgiabait.

There are plenty of examples of Digimon being dark and mature in a far better way than Tri and Kizuna did.

not really shonnen fans, they are just manchilds and nothing else.
is kinda similar to dragon ball z fans foccusing on just battles and their their own fagottry but not on other stuff, digimon gets similar treatment with 02 being considered bad, tamers considered worse because more mature themes and frontier kinda similar treatment despite being aimed towards growing up fans but those fans can't grow up or develop hence stuck complaining.
I bet if you ask this no one could or will answer despite the answer being on the series.
>Did juri work on her dad bar with drunk old men's that abused her?
>What kind of panties used to wear Rukki?
those can be answered by anyone that likes the series.

Unpopular opinion but I do really lie the mid point of Tri, the HerculesKabuterimon scene
Like watching him struggle fighting all his friends in a battle where losing means they're all consumed by a virus and winning means they all lose their memories
That's good stuff. And it really should have ended there because the entire back half is even worse than the boring front half

Unpopular opinion 2; Colon isn't a complete write-off, there's some good stuff in there
I can only imagine what the series would look like if it didn't get ravaged by Coronamon

Am I posting in the wrong timeline? Who's hating on Tamers?
It's the only other series consistently put in contention for the best beside Adventure
Anonymous No.279669382 [Report] >>279669541
Adventure and Tamers are the best ones, because they have the best Digital Worlds
Third place it's kind of a tie between Frontier, and X-Evolution
Special shoutout to Ghost Game, and it's Silent Hill-like gimmick of overlaping dimensions, that one was pretty cool, and a logical step forward from the "Digital Fields" in Tamers
However, the rest of the shows either had almost no Digital World, or their Digital World was way too derivative
And yes, that includes 02, where I can barely remember anything, except the Soup Village, and the Totally-Not-Lovecraftian-Town
At heart, Digimon is meant to be about cool monsters, and exciting adventures
No cool locations? No deal

Frontier gets a HUGE nerf thanks to the Knights story arc, the uselessness of 4/6 parts of the party, you know the rest
Tamers had perhaps too little of Digital World content, but at least it used it in more interesting ways, imo
Frontier definitely had a lot of really nice shit in comparison, and the constant Trailmon travel made it extra comfy, I'll give you that

I can tell that a lie since the reason why most people hate 02 is mainly because the cast is shit and the plot is weak.

02 feels like they didn't have a plan and just made shit up as they went along. There's some good things about it (like the Digimon Kaiser) but I'd rather just stick to Adventure and Tamers myself desu baka senpai.

I saw the dubbed version on TV a while back and got a good laugh out of the fact that they intentionally wrote in the same style as the shitty 90s dub. Characters are constantly making awful puns, undercutting drama, and talking over silent scenes. It's hysterical.
