digimon is back! DIGIMON IS BACK!! IZZY IS CUTE AND MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS
one thing I love about Tai (DUB NAMES!) is that he's not a typical shounen protagonist. Instead of having him declare something about being friends he's just like, immediately impressed with izzy; when he here's there's traffic problems, immediately checks on his mom and sister
izzy's like "hi im izzy, sorry i'm nerding out, I am going to try to solve this problem now if tha'ts okay?" and tai's like "WOW, WE JUST MET BUT IM NO GOOD AT THAT STUFF, YOU SEEM COOL" and then immediately is like "gotta check on the people i love real quick"
Tai is, fundamentally, a good person. A lot of shounen protagonists are kind of assholes who succeed on The Power of Friendship, but Tai is like... characterized as a real human being and it's awesome.
Izzy's great because he's just, like, he doesn't really connect with people well but he wants to and he always feels distant from everyone but he still does his best.
Digimon rules because it gets ~group dynamics~ in ways that don't feel like repeating shounen tropes.
