Hey guys @jennilocke commented in our last analysis on Tai that some versions and translations of the series tend to paint the characters in a different light one the tends to more or less favor one side. And she is 100% correct! This is especially true for Matt and Tai. So apologies if you feel your favorite character was portrayed in a less favorable way. We try to follow the most consistent character traits in the analysis. Hope you enjoy!😁

I like how Matts main reason for appearing cold or argumentative is because he cares so much!😊

wow this is an excellent analysis! I love Digimon and the psychological elements of the writing are really strong, so seeing you give such an insightful analysis is amazing. I especially liked your point about about Matt's upbringing meaning he is subconsciously prepared to lose people in his life and that's perhaps the root of his avoidant personality. This is a REALLY spot on observation, not just in this children's cartoon but also in real life. You've got a knack for this for real

Thank you for the great video! I remember liking Tai a lot when I watched the series as a young teen, but slowly gravitated towards Matt as I got older. Don’t get me wrong, Tai is still a well written character, but Matt’s development is something I don’t personally see too often in fictional media. He’s the ‘rival’ yeah, but like you said he’s not the one who’s ‘clearly in the wrong’, which is something I really appreciate. Despite being the ‘cool guy’ he cares deeply for the group, though he makes the mistake of letting his emotions get the better of him. He reminds me that I shouldn’t let my emotions take me too far, which is a problem I currently have. He kind of reminds me of Cloud Strife from FF7 now that I think about it! What I always found to be interesting is that Tai has a complete family, while Matt has a somewhat broken one. Tai is supposed to represent the sun (which is about power and courage) and Matt is supposed to represent the moon (which is about care and is constantly changing-like Matt himself). If you say “Yes” or “Day” to Jijimon in Digimon World (PS1), you get Agumon. If you say “No” or “Night”, you get Gabumon. Agumon turns into Greymon in daylight and Gabumon turns into Garurumon at night. I always thought that was really cool and helps to show how Tai and Matt are supposed to ‘mirror’ each other. I was listening to this video while doing psychology homework, and it helped a lot! Thanks!

yooooh! That takes me way back. I don't think I ever realized that about the game but I always choose Gabumon cause Garurumon is my favorite digimon!

You are very welcome Heartstar! And good insight! These characters contain an artistic level of subtilty that is rare these day and looking at those details helps flesh them out even more. I didn't know about the game mechanic either so glad to learn something new! Good luck with your psychology class. Since Reaper subscribes to the Turtle School his advice is, work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty!
