Another dub addition. Yamato was never a "bad boy". Maybe Matt was.

As for movie 2, according to one of the interviews (and if I was at home and not the hospital I'd try to find it) the series director had nothing to do with the "Taichi x Sora" implications. I'm sure if the series as a whole had ended when it was intentionally meant to, the Yamato x Sora thing probably would've been more obvious.

Were there more segments that suggested Matt/Sora before Matt asked her to one of his concert and getting approval from Tai?

He didn't ask Sora to a concert to my knowledge. They were all invited as they are friends.

I think they just tried to show that they could relate more in some ways to one another, but tbh I can't remember very much. The novel, to my knowledge subtly hint towards it.

The series director mentioned that all three was to help all of them grow or whatever in some way.

Also, in the original there was no need to get approval from Taichi because neither Yamato nor Sora knew of his feelings towards Sora. There was nothing in that original scene to even imply it. Taichi just urged her to stop being nervous and to give her gift to Yamato. She thanked him for the most part after that from what I recall. Agumon complimented Taichi after that on being mature. He picked up on it.

Only the dub, seemingly, set it up so that Sora needed Tai's approval to face Matt. I also heard that Sora said she was going to make Tai cookies too or something, which is totally off, as it would make her look like she's playing both boys.

Sora giving Yamato a homemade gift speaks volumes. In Japanese culture, making a food gift by hand for someone shows that your feelings aren't friendly and beyond that.

For example, for Valentine's Day, women/girls give out chocolates to men/boys. They even sell chocolate making kits in the stores here round about that time.

There's three kinds: Honmei, Tomo, and Giri.

Honmei = Homemade

Tomo = Tomodachi = Friendship

Giri = Obligation

Honmei Chocolate is made using the kits and decorated by said girl and is usually given to her bf, husband, or romantic interest. Oh and to be nice, some mothers may make some Choco for their sons. lol. Feel sorry for them maybe.

Tomo Choco is given to friends and store bought. Some girls may give them to their female friends too. It's a newer thing.

Giri Choco is maybe given to one's male coworkers.

There was watching over Karai before Phantomon took her and another when Matt helped her find herself as he and Joe just did but Joe was in the mix too not just the two of them bonding. Perhaps American audiences are lead to believe the Tai/Sora relationship over the Matt/Sora relationship as an issue of dubbing.

I think for the original (and sorry I don't remember either well,) showed that Yamato understood Sora well enough to get her out of her funk. Yes Jou was there, but it was Yamato who was able to get through to her.

It was not long ago I learned it was three short films woven together. I can tell the Adventure 02 segment is out of continuity. It was not the fact I prefer Tai and Matt to T.K. and Karai its just the segment was just boring and confusing if anything.

The pacing of movie 3 was a bit slow and the soundtrack wasn't all that great either save for the vocal op/ed, but the original did make sense. I also liked Wallace's "English". The acting wasn't the best, but the pronunciation was ok. I also liked the excuse they used as to why he could speak and understand Japanese. lol

Movie 3 was very standalone, but even I can't remember everything regarding Seraphimon and Holydramon being the key to releasing the Digimental of Miracles and Fate to armor evolve Wallace and Daisuke's Digimon.

Wallace figured out what was going on and was trying to get to a place called Summer Memory, I think, as that was where he lost the twin Digimon.

I am curious, while I see a few things that make Adventure 02 flawed I would like to see your list of what makes it flawed.

Oh, well the Holy Ring thing never sat right with me and how Tailmon had to lose it...but I'm only saying this because I don't recall the reason and remember being confused by it. ^^

Overall, I just felt they could've gotten more story out of Adventure in general, so ending it after 02 was a bother.

Demon and Dagomon. I really wanted more on Demon especially. A story of him escaping the dark world and killing Dagomon to do it to try and conquer both the Digital World and the human world. This is my main issue with the series. Dagomon I can overlook, Demon not so much. A lot of potential there, especially since he seemed to act on his own.

It got to the point where the kids didn't want to kill their Digimon enemies, which made a lot of sense. Up until that point, neither Daisuke, Miyako, nor Iori ever had to. They'd only had to fight Dark Tower Digimon and prior to that, they only had to destroy the rings and spirals and the Digimon went back to normal.

It bothered me how fans at the time were critical of the 02 characters, pointing out that the Adventure kids killed left and right. Not comparable. The Adventure kids were in a killed or be killed situation the majority of the time. The 02 kids were in a controlled situation where they could easily go home restrategize and go back. Also, Iori was so against killing because his own father was killed protecting a government official. He saw things in black & white. All killing = bad.

So here's the flaw to me... Takeru, Hikari, and Ken. All three had adventures in the Digital World that required killing enemy Digimon. Ken was screwed up because he and Ryou killed Milleniumon. I never got why they didn't have them say something to help ease their qualms over it.

I never had a problem with the epilogue other than I wanted more story first. I like the idea of Takeru writing stories about his Digital World adventures and at least there was drama to show how it was his mother's idea to start writing in the first place, sorta like how Sora's mother got her into tennis.
