Digimon/YMMV

These things about Digimon are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

Individual Works

The Franchise

Adaptation Displacement: Many Western Digimon fans do not know that the series started off as a spear counterpart of the Tamagotchi, or even that the Digimon franchise had a pair of manga, a short film, and at least 3 video games before the premiere of Digimon Adventure.
Crowning Music of Awesome: With own page
Deconstruction Fic: Has many examples.
- Digimon Tamers is an official one.
Ear Worm: The English theme of the first three seasons.
Evil Is Sexy - A few humanoid evil digimon can qualify as this.
Fan Dumb/They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Many Western fans blindly reject new series simply because they're different in design and aesthetic from Adventure or Tamers.
Older Than They Think: Many people who watch the Digimon anime don't realize that a human villains have been in the Digimon franchise before the release of Digimon Adventure 02.
- Similarly not many people realize the term "Tamer" has been used to refer to a child with a digimon long before the release of Digimon Tamers
Only the Author Can Save Them Now: several of the later big bads in each season.
Toy Ship: Rampant everywhere, thanks to there being about 30+ kids throughout the franchise.
Ugly Cute: Some Digimon pull this off--mostly younger level ones but some older level ones, too.
Unfortunate Character Design: WarGreymon has this in spades. He has a mostly human anatomy. He also eschews pants in favor of a skimpy black banana hammock. The front of said banana hammock features a piece of armor with a very suggestive shape.
Wall Banger: Enough examples for their own page.
