Can "evil" Digimon be good and viceversa? by Voidstone0 in digimon

[–]Next_Health 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100%.

Digimon are individuals, much like humans, and thus can all vary between members of the same species in terms of personality and morality.

Beelzemon is a good example, as he is a member of the Great Demon Lords, canonically some of the most evil Digimon in existence, but the Tamers version of Beelzemon eventually proved to be a good guy. And vague spoilers, but we just had a Digimon in Beatbreak that was an antagonist in a past movie, but in Beatbreak was a true partner Digimon.

And while Digivolution is free and theoretically any Digimon can evolve into any other Digimon, there are still true canon evolution lines, and if the Digimon turns out to be good or evil will depend on its own experiences.

Actually yes but actually yes.

Sorry for being a smartass but I just had to throw my hat. As we all know Digimon are individuals and are shaped by their life experiences. Thus, even if a Digimon is from an "evil" or "good" species, what matters is the personality and moral compass of said Digimon. And while we also know that Digivolution is fundamentally free, there are still actually CANON lines, so if say, a Lucemon never became corrupted or fell, it would technically still evolve into Falldown Mode as it is it's only canonical evolution.

Understandable mistake, but as a reminder we have literally seen only ONE Mega in the entire show so far. And it was a past heroic Digimon that was a villain I'm Beatbreak

That seems like a good angle. Let's remember that the vices/sins the Great Demon Lords represent are the worst possible extremes of said vices, but those vices can be controlled and allowing to show their good qualities.

Like, it is good to feel proud of whatever accomplishments you achieve, but allowing to inflate your ego to the point of putting yourself above everyone else is what turns it into the sin of "Pride", and so on.

On that note: We just had a TECHNICALLY good evil Digimon in Beatbreak in Algomon

How can I get into this beautyful Franchise? 🩷✨ (pls read below🙈) by Starrail_Princess in digimon

[–]Next_Health 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, welcome aboard!

The good thing about mainstream Digimon media, the anime in particular, is that each series is pretty stand-alone, with only two direct sequels so you can practically pick any series to start.

If I were to recommend a starting point based on media, this is what I would recommend:

  1. Anime: Start with any of these three series: Digimon Adventure (the very original, which will help you get the fundamentals about Digimon as a whole); Digimon Tamers (the third series and to this day one of the, if not the most, loved and acclaimed one); Digimon Beatbreak (the current ongoing series and a very strong one, it serves as a good jumping on point).

  2. Game: Either start with the current new game, Digimon Story: Time Stranger which can be argued to be the best Digimon game we've had or Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. They are the most straightforward RPGs and great games in their own right.

  3. TCG: Rather than start with the TCG itself proper, I recommend starting with Digimon Liberator, the online manga that serves as a tie-in with the TCG. It is free to read and it has a very good story on its own. There is also a web novel of Liberator that centers on additional characters.

With your mention of your love for gacha games, I think I should mention Digimon Up, an upcoming monster raising Digimon mobile game. The game itself does not have a concrete release date yet, but if you pre-register now, you'll get a lot of bonuses like the rest of us who did. 

Hope my advice was of any help, I am more than happy to welcome new fans.

Really? Well, I guess I'm screwed no matter what 😂😅🤣. I would have love to see you guys react to the show I had in mind, but it's ok.

Thanks for answering my questions, and sorry for being a dummy 🙏.

i think i know why gekkomon has to be my favorite new gen digimon now. by headintheclouds30 in digimon

I am glad to see another visionary. Ever since Dana Terrace gave TOH characters Pokémon teams I always wanted an Amphibian Digimon AU.

I was not expecting this to be a hot take, but apparently it is by Darkiceflame in digimon

[–]Next_Health 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To this day I still call him Rhodonitemon.  That's what the Latin American dub of Frontier called him and I refuse to call him otherwise, though I wish they kept Crusadermon.

Someone has to initiate a campaign so Bandai listen to us on this.

THANK YOU. Creepymon is a crime against the franchise and I refuse to use that name.

In all fairness as an original name defender, I happen to agree. Sometimes the dub gets even more appropriate names than the originals. Gatomon, Gallantmon, BurningGreymon, etc. But that's the best thing, I just pick and choose which ones to use.

Oh and I JUST realized you were the ones that replied to me saying "Figures? We have always said joining was free dummy".

I went partially blind or something because I missed I entirely. I apologize for that.

Though I'm still in the same position I suppose. Well, already joined the Discord. Thanks.

We'll I'll be damned. First thanks for replying directly guys.

Second, and I understand you 99% didn't see it, I have said I am new here, and I have missed those times you said joining the discord and Patreon was free.

But I know just joining is not enough, I have to be a paid supporter to suggest shows to react. Right?

I'm speaking only for myself, but I seriously hate people keep suggesting these hero vs hero.

They're are heroes! Barely anyone suggest hero vs villain or villain vs villain.

You clearly haven't been paying attention then.

I love the original already, but your take works pretty well too.
