History YMMV / DigimonAdventure02

** [[spoiler: Arguably, he's worse - Myotismon used to kill minions for [[YouHaveFailedMe failing him]]. As [=MaloMyotismon=], his first act is to [[NightmareFuel brutally]] kill Arukenimon and Mummymon purely ForTheEvulz.]]

* BadassDecay:Poor Angemon and [=MagnaAngemon=]. In the first season Angemon was on par with the Ultimates (in fact after his first initial appearance he wouldn't reappear again until half the other Digimon had finally obtained their Ultimate level) despite only being a Champion and [=MagnaAngemon=], a ultimate level digimon, was able to single handily took down a powerful Mega Digimon that two Mega Digimon were having trouble with. Next season? Angemon is just an average Champion and while [=MagnaAngemon=] does come the closest to killing [=BlackWargreymon=] he still loses and all further appearances of [=MagnaAngemon=] doesn't show him being nearly as impressive as he was when he debuted in season 1. Partially justified that Angemon and [=MagnaAngemon=] are just super effective again evil Digimon which season 1 was full of but since season 2 consisted of artificial digimon not so much...

** Don't forget [[spoiler: Ken and Miyako]].

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Due to the constant demands by producers to make the show "funnier", Davis (Daisuke) in the dubbed version of 02 had a lot of insult humor directed at him that wasn't in the original script. Despite what you might think, he was still a ButtMonkey in the original though.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Daisuke, mostly in the dub.

** As was the revelation of [[spoiler: Belial Vamdemon as the final BigBad, considering he'd died ''twice'' the previous season]].

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming

* UnpopularPopularCharacter (Daisuke)
* TheWoobie: Ken, of course, and Wormmon

** WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Blackwargreymon

* CrowningMomentO: wesome: Takeru's reaction on Ken's whip-attack on his face in [[http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i320/mpcp13/TakeruDarkAmusement.jpg episode 19]].

* DieForOurShip (And the intense [[ShipToShipCombat ship wars]] continue on to this day.)

* HoYay (''Oh'' so much.)
* {{Love it or Hate it}} One side of the camp says that it was a great continuation to S1 and a good series all around. The other will tell you that 02 had no redeeming qualities and was the spawn of Satan.
* {{Macekre}} (the movie ''Digimon Hurricane [=Touchdown/Supreme=] Evolution! The Golden Digimentals'' had a sub plot about the older kids being kidnapped by Cocomon cut out and wasn't [[NonSerialMovie meant to be in continuity]], which causes [[DubInducedPlotHole continuity problems]] later.)

* {{Squick}} (In the original version, the King of the Dark Ocean's minions weren't trying to get Kari to destroy their EvilOverlord. They were trying to bring Kari to him so that he could [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction mate]] [[NaughtyTentacles with]] [[{{Lolicon}} her]].)

* TheWoobie (Ken, of course, and Wormmon)
** JerkassWoobie:[[spoiler: Oikawa]]
** WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds (Blackwargreymon)

* FanGirl (Jun)

* {{Macekre}} (the movie ''Digimon Hurricane [=Touchdown/Supreme=] Evolution! The Golden Digimentals'' had a sub plot about the older kids being kidnapped by Cocomon cut out and wasn't [[NonSerialMovie meant to be in continuity]], which causes [[DubInducedPlotHole continuity problems]] later)

* AssPull: [[spoiler: Sora and Yamato's dating and subsequent marriage]]. A good majority of the show's fandom at the time, and even the dubbers, were fans of pairing Sora with Taichi, so this [[{{Understatement}} didn't go down well]]. [[spoiler: WordOfGod confirmed that they were married a year after the series ended]], but before that, fans speculated that even if [[spoiler: their children obviously resemble them]], they were divorced; even the dub tried to cover this up.
** [[spoiler: Ken and Miyako's marriage in the final episode]] was also viewed by some in this light, since although Miyako had 20-some episodes earlier showed some rather immature interest in [[spoiler: Ken]], it largely seemed to go away after that, and ''he'' never seemed the least bit interested in her.
** In the 02 movie, Kokomon has evolved to Cherubimon, a powerful Mega digimon that's essentially invincible, and this is during a time when only one of the characters can have their digimon reach Ultimate, which is just one stage below. So, what happens? ''Out of freakin nowhere'', Angemon and Angewomon evolve to their never before seen Mega levels, Seraphimon and Magnadramon, despite everything in the series' canon going against this. However, it gets worse. Do the two holy Mega-levels destroy Cherubimon? No. Instead, they use their energies to summon two armor digi-eggs to evolve Terriermon and Veemon, one of which had been used up in the main series, to Armor level. It isn't explained why they can do that, either. Sure, it's a NonSerialMovie, but absolutely none of this was explained very adequately in the movie itself, which hadn't been half-bad until this happened.

* WallBanger (Mentioning the ending can have [[BerserkButton unpredictable]] [[AxCrazy effects]] on fans.)

* FanDumb: Reactions to the epilogue. Sure it has tons of problems the GenerationXerox thing, Jou being a doctor for the Digital World (do they really need a doctor?) Miyako the most take action girl of the bunch being the only who doesn't have a career. But the majority of the fans seem to think its impossible for the kids to develop new interest and ambitions within 25 years because you now they were only kids. As well as the canon pairings. Why can't Sora and Yamato become closer in the unseen future, when they were just casually dating anyways and why can't Miyako and Ken have developed feelings for each other as well? Taiora and Takari fans seem to be the most butthurt of the whole thing with Taiora fans cursing the epilog to hell and Takari fans being in denial trying to say it was left ambiguous if Takeru and Hikari were married with some even said the original outright stated they got married that the dub left out (hint:they didn't)
** Because it was all an AssPull.
*** Also its not so much FanDumb considering that the epilogue is the reason why there can't be another sequel in the Adventure universe. Because by the end of Adventure 02 all of the mystery is gone, and the Digital world is said to be at peace, and everyone in the world has their own digimon. Also they wouldn't be able to make a sequel without undermining the last episodes of ''DigimonAdventure02''. It also pretty much guranteed that even if they did somehow put together a sequel within the Adventure verse it would have to be so far in the future that you wouldn't even see any of the old cast anyway.
*** [[YugiohGX Digimon GX?]]
**** Considering how the older characters still appear in GX it would be more like [[Yugioh5Ds Digimon 5Ds]]

* {{Love it or Hate it}} One side of the camp says that it was a great continuation to S1 and a good series all around. The other will tell you that 02 had no redeeming qualities and was the spawn of satan.

** Note that "our war game" and "revenge of diaboromon" is considered to be in continuity. Now, remember that there weren't digimon partners for every person in revenge of diaboromon, which is clearly set ''after'' the series. In other words, the final episode of Adventure 02 is '''CanonDiscontinuity'''. May the fandom explode.
*** Actually that just means that the revenge of diaboromon movie isn't canon since it isn't referenced at all in the drama cds written by the [[AllThereinTheManual drama cds]], and yet the last episode is. This wouldn't be last time in which a [[DigimonTamers digimon]][[DigimonFrontier movie]] [[DigimonSavers wasn't canon]].
*** Then our War Game is in continuity (it's the reason there ''is'' an 02), but the sequel isn't? Well, It probably is true, but it isn't hard to guess which would the fans prefer.
*** Well because Revenge of Dialboromon came out before 02 ended, but is supposed to after the series ended which is reason why it's events don't match up with the ending of 02, whose last episode pretty much guarantees that the second movie couldn't have happened when it said it did.
