Digimon Tri - Part Two Ketsui/Determination Ep 2


This time round, we're focusing on Mimi and Joe. 
Here's Mimi, the only volunteer in this classroom full of assholes for a school fete and everyone mumble-knocks or pooh-poohs her suggestion... but not directly to her. No one else offers a suggestion, no one offers to put it to a vote, they just go with it but are secretly angry at her. 

Mimi! How dare you be so pro-active that you help your school! 
Don't you know that this particular section of Japan depends on everyone being so meek and mild that it's a wonder anyone gets anything done??




Oh cool, a mini ninja and geisha? Must be a Tuesday!
 This is the best way to go incognito apparently.

Yeah, it's cute, but I mean, really?

Are Japanese people just too polite to question these things or what?
Ooh, fireworks! Oh wait, wait, no that's not right. 

Mimi arranged for these two guys to meet them at a cafe for chips. What, no take away or nearby monitor to emerge from? Ah well, it's just as well because there's another distortion and the group has to run to the scene.

What's with the Pauls?

Once upon a time there was a social platform called Vine where you could make short videos to share to your followers or the world at large. Key word - short. We're talking a couple of seconds here.




There are some EXCELLENT Viners - Thomas Sanders for example is just amazing and everyone should obsessively watch him at all times. Well, no, the dude deserves his time off let's not go nuts.
Point is - he was charming, funny, and obviously put a lot of effort into his short skits, even the ones that were obviously not very expensive to do.

This platform also gave rise to two brothers by the name of Paul. Again - usually quite funny and agreeable in small doses.

However - Vine somehow died in this world that seemingly favours short and brief interactions that can be used to glorify yourself and reach a wide audience such as what Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram can provide.

Thus, many Viners were left socially homeless and made the transition to other mediums like YouTube. Well, if you're lucky. Otherwise sometimes they somehow get a lot more attention than they deserve. 

Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul are two examples of this. They are EVERYWHERE. They are on TV shows. They are making music videos (in the loosest sense possible), they are teaming up with other Viners or YouTubers that no one particularly cares about and they keep getting into the news either for their terrible behaviour, terrible music or the forced drama shoved down our throats with their ridiculous reaction/retort videos.

Sweet mercy, why is this? Who.. apart from the brothers themselves.. actually care about this?

Disney child stars have a way of being forced into our way of life - but in this technological day and age it's never been more infuriating. Now everything is documented.
Before it was Britney and Christina are in the Mickey Mouse club.
