They keep trying to make him come across as all cool and fearless, but instead that has the effect of turning him into this static lump who sucks the life out of every scene he in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086806519830822483.post-37739065907633562602021-01-25T16:28:29.405-06:002021-01-25T16:28:29.405-06:00The best use of Vademon yet (though I tip my hat t...The best use of Vademon yet (though I tip my hat to the literal curiosity shop owner from the original). "Alien" indeed. Damn, that cult's creepy! Just look at that screenshot!<br /><br />Really disappointed as to how this arc just fizzled out like this. I mean, once you get Hikari involved, there just <i>has</i> to be some sort of "light eldritch" power involved. It worked well even for Zero Two ("His Master's Voice" and "Opposites Attract" being good examples).<br /><br />They keep laying this fascinating corruption groundwork for the angelic/demonic types and the theme of corruption (shades of Frontier's backstory, as you point out, except we have the chance to see it happen in real-time). Only, I just want it to start paying off already. We've been floundering since Devimon's attempts to get Tokomon on his side, and that was a rarity, not the norm.<br /><br />Come to think of it, the more this season goes on, the more I just think of it as a showcase of spectacle than as any kind of narratively satisfying entity. I mean, the fights and setups are suitably epic and awesome, and far more complex than most of the other series'. I still get excited when I see certain Digimon pop up per episode to strut their stuff. There's just no getting around the excuse plot and its increasingly blatant hollowness, and the fact that it gets so close to a substantial storyline is part of what makes it so exasperating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
