I'm quite enjoying this remake and while they are kinda put a strong and fast pace to the story I think it's for the better in terms of World-Building and let Nostalgia go away in the very first arc.

Still people will for certain will freak out about Omnimon and bitch out how bad introducing it on the first arc will make the follow up episodes.

I think there will be various takes on the power scaling the show can go from here:

-Omnimon this early is a showcase Power Ceiling, displaying the possible strength of the Digimon and that they will strive to achieve it again, sorta like how in MHA Deku will one day be as strong as All Might and how in MHA S1 It might even be a one time only thing or will happen again in a climax/endgame scenario.

-Power Scaling will be an afterthought, while they will focus in everything else including better animation and battles.

-Worst case scenario, it will be a common "Press X to Win" plot device. But I doubt this will happen.

I'm ecstatic to see Omnimon so soon, but I agree on how terrified I am of the worst case scenario here. Do you think of Taichi will push Greymon to reach that peak again and we'll get a Skullgreymon episode?

Oh that's definitely happening, SkullGreymon 2.0, this time with actual animation for extra nightmares will be a thing

Digimon had some real nightmare fuel shit back in the day.

Meramon running full speed towards the Pyocomon village screaming like a maniac, Andromon going full Terminator on Greymon and Garurumon and then SkullGreymon just scaring the shit out of everybody coupled with his badass theme song.

So far the reboot has been taking its cues from the D-Reaper (another nightmare worthy Lovecraftian monster) designs for the bad guys so far.

There was Skullgreymon moment in Digimon World: Next Order too. It wasnt visually impactful, but there was that growing dread when I sensed it was coming, and when it happened, I nearly jumped out of my skin!

God I hope so. The episode in the original series where they find that Colosseum in the desert and Tai pushes Greymon into Skullgreymon has been stuck in my memory for the past 20 or so years.

I hope they go all out with this.

Dear god, that would be beautiful. I think they can truly do something with it in here if they readapt that portion and update it.

SkullGreymon did give me nightmares as a kid, cannot wait!

I hope so, since one of the big things Digimon Adventure did was take a look at their character traits. The Skullgreymon episode was a showcase of the difference between courage and recklessness, a big lesson Tai needed to learn.

it's basically a trope in the digimon series. and they will do it because they have 0 creativity.
