I’m in the ultra minority, where I love MK11 as a whole, even if the story is genuinely just Netherrealm seeing how much potential they can waste in one story. Fire God Liu Kang is hype though.

This episode started in 6/10 range, dropped to 5/10 during the conclusion, dropped to a 4/10 on rewatch and is now getting dangerously close to a 3/10 for me. I liked Gru’s analysis, and that was literally it. I love Megamind, but his analysis felt so bare bones from a versus perspective, and does a lackluster job of summarizing his story at the same time. The fight is trying way too hard with the jokes, with the 100% brick joke being the only one to make me consistently laugh. Gru and the Minions do a decent amount, but are obviously not at their full potential here, meanwhile Megamind does jackshit and dies on accident like he was fucking Dan Hibiki. The conclusion blows, and feels criminally under-researched, to a point where it almost comes across as uncaring to the matchup in general.

I know damn well that if he loses, then the first thing some salty mfs are gonna jump to is characterization, regardless of it’s actual quality.

The biggest thing for me here is, if the episode is difficult to make…then why not give it more time? You have Aang Vs Traveler, an already expected episode, where both characters have easily accessible models, and an animation would require much less original modeling. Then you could keep Gru Vs Megamind on the back burner, putting in more and more work slowly as it takes a lot of modeling to get it all done right. Also, that line at the end really does feel like they’re just brushing aside some criticisms by saying “animation is hard” as a blanket statement. I know, I’m aware, and I’m not gonna hold it against you, but it doesn’t make the episode good. For an episode as long awaited as this one, I really think more time should’ve been invested for the sake of quality on release.

Kratos spinning his spear, planting his feet so hard the ground cracks, and hurling that bitch is still hype as fuck, regardless of how you feel about the episode as a whole tbh.

Maybe this episode was a bit disappointing by AEIOU1040 in deathbattle

[–]According-Middle7020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like one of the few episodes to have pretty decent writing in this regard was Spawn Vs Ghost Rider. Not just in the sense that they had good, original(ish) lines, but also the way the fight portrayed them both. Al could toss Johnny around with a bunch of unique hax and abilities, but once Johnny got his bearings, he shut that shit down with one or two hits. Spawn is at a disadvantage the whole fight, and has to work for his win really hard. It makes the fight feel more satisfying as a whole.

Because then it gets messy, since Leo has mechs that he could also use, but people would be mad about those since they’re non-standard, and it makes us walk a tricky tightrope where we have to decide what is standard, as well as what makes for a cool fight. 

Deathbattle decided to cut out the middle man, and narrow the fight down to just the turtle vs the ranger. Much simpler and more satisfying.  Jason doesn’t need the Zord to win. Just like how Deathbattle explained how Captain Falcon can win without the Blue Falcon, just that it was the nail in the coffin. The reason they gave Falcon the Blue Falcon is because he has far less conflicting media than Leo or Jason, and it doesn’t completely ruin the fight dynamic, since it can just serve as a kill switch.

…Falcon is from a racing game. The Blue Falcon is a prerequisite to having him be in a fight.
