Digimon/Narm: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

** A case of [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]. This is how Satan was depicted in medieval art -- with a crotch monster face.

*** For some reason, that just makes it funnier.

* Typically, a Digimon's voice becomes more adult-sounding and then more bestial-sounding as he or she advances through the five (six if the tamer is lucky) [[Evolutionary Levels]]. Sometimes, different forms of the same character have different voice actors. Not so in the [[Digimon Tamers|third season.]] The voices remain the same as their childlike "rookie" forms throughout. The highest levels are formed when the Digimon and the human partner [[Fusion Dance|merge together]], resulting in a form that looks impressive but still has the standard rookie voice and the standard kid voice talking at once. But their ''lines'' are written for a warrior. It's hard to keep taking the scene seriously when a pip-squeak dual voice yells stuff like "[[In the Name of ~~The~~ Moon|There is no excuse for your actions! I will see that justice is SERRRRRRRVED!]]" or "[[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Your judgment day is at hand! For the horrible things you've done, you must pay the ultimate price!]]" at the top of its lungs. Of course, since [[Evil Is Cool]], Beelzemon doesn't always sound like his rookie form. Neither does [[Ax Crazy]] good guy Cyberdramon, whose human partner is more the [[Kid ~~With~~ the Leash]].

** This happened in the Japanese version as well. It was to point out how their personalities were the same regardless of Digivolution; in ''[[Digimon Adventure]],'' they supposedly became different people. Ryo's Cyberdramon was different for [[All There in the Manual]] reasons. But yes, the voices do sound weird, and it was still confusing.

* Then there's the American dub of ''Digimon: The Movie'', where to conclude his heartbreaking story about how his Digimon got attacked by a virus, Willis delivers a completely deadpan, "And now he's obsessed with chasing me." Davis ends up in tears.

Line 37:

* From Island of Lost Digimon, the Human Digimon's Super Funky Disco Neon Tank.

* A classic one (that, back at the time, was a frequent joke among the fandom): when listing Chimeramon/Kimeramon's body parts, the Digimon Emperor notes pretty badass and probably useful parts of equally badass Digimon: Angemon's wings, SkullGreymon's arm, Garurumon's legs.... and ''MetalGreymon's hair''. There's absolutely no real use for it other than aesthetics, especially considering on how much useful other parts of MetalGreymon would've been. Oh, and Ken lists that part last, giving a really funny [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]] feel to the scene. And since the first time isn't funny enough, the parts are re-listed by the older Chosen Children later, in the same order, again, highlighting such an important part of the villain's plan.

* The fact that Keenan in ''[[Digimon Data Squad]]'' speaks in [[You No Take Candle]] is bad enough, but the fact that he refers to humans as hu-mons sounds both stupid and irritating. He wasn't [[Raised By Wolves]], the Digimon could all speak articulately! Why is he even talking like that, anyway?

* Some of the battles against the Devas in [[Digimon Tamers]]. Given that the Devas were minions of the Sovereign sent to subdue and conquer the Real World, you'd expect them to be pretty decent combatants, and indeed many of them put up a terrifyingly good fight ... against Champion level Digimon. But:

** Three of them (Sandiramon, Sinduramon and Kumbhiramon) are killed by Champion-level Digimon.
