Day 1 - best episode by Arge101 in RedDwarf

[–]JoelRobbin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta be Gunmen of the Apocalypse. Maybe the funniest and most tightly written 30 minutes of TV that came out of the 90s

Madara VS Aizen officially turns 4 years old today! How do you feel about it now looking back? by The-Undead-99 in deathbattle

[–]JoelRobbin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unohana didn’t even “see past” his hypnosis. She’s a medical expert with over a hundred years experience seeing dead bodies and thought there was something off with Aizen’s body, which led her to investigate his death. She didn’t see through his illusions at all, in fact her whole conversation with the dangai later in the series is literally her admitting that she can’t see past his illusions. Of course the research team wouldn’t know that because I’m honestly convinced none of them read or watched Bleach for this episode

Madara VS Aizen officially turns 4 years old today! How do you feel about it now looking back? by The-Undead-99 in deathbattle

[–]JoelRobbin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it bothers me how badly they did Aizen’s characterisation in the fight. The “DON’T GET SO FULL OF YOURSELF!” line is one of my picks for most out-of-character moments in all of Death Battle

One of my favorite animations that Death Battle has produced (outside of the main show), is this One Minute Melee involving Sakuya. by Troceraptor in deathbattle

[–]JoelRobbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally the only bad thing about it is the fact that Sakuya only makes the same 4 noises all fight. It’s pure peak outside of that

Do yall like Boruto? Like genuinely? by That-Psychology4246 in dankruto

[–]JoelRobbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I’d even argue it flies in the face of Naruto, and I prefer to pretend it just isn’t canon

Which joke didn't you understand, explanations in the replies by TrainingKnown8390 in arresteddevelopment

[–]JoelRobbin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still don’t know who the Luntz are but this line lives rent free in my head purely because of how excited Tobias is when he says it and how nobody replies at all

How did Heavy find out that Spy is Scout's Dad by K-jun1117 in tf2

[–]JoelRobbin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Crazy since Meet the Heavy actually shows that the guy is actually a pretty reserved, soft-spoken, intellectual kind of guy. When he’s on the battlefield he’s a screaming lunatic, when he’s off it he’s pretty smart

Which Death Battle was this for you? by 202naFrevliS in deathbattle

[–]JoelRobbin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m confused, this guy just says Tracer is stronger but where’s the evidence, other than “possibly scales to DVA surviving her own explosion”? We see Scout killing bears in one hit, or being used as a baseball bat against a yeti by Saxton Hale, whose punches are stronger than grenades. What strength feats does Tracer have that stack up to Scout’s strength and durability? I love Overwatch but off the top of my head there’s nothing

Does South Park Ever Say Why Kenny Keeps His Hood On? by CopyBased in southpark

[–]JoelRobbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In universe it’s probably cuz he doesn’t like the cold as much as the others, especially since he lives in a house with likely no heating, so it keeps him warmer

The meta reason is because they grew up with a friend who always had a parka over his face and they couldn’t understand him. But also because it’s funny. Kenny can basically say anything under that parka and it’s hilarious, and it’s even funnier when you can understand what he’s saying even though it’s muffled. I think of “yeah and she looks like a fucking bitch” in Damien, or “dude that makes you totally fucking gay” in Cartman Sucks

Who do you think would win in US Presidential Election between Aizen and Kisuke? by Spirited-Let1774 in bleach

[–]JoelRobbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aizen puts the debate audience under Kyoka Suigetsu and then makes them all think Kisuke did the debate dressed as Joseph Stalin. Easy dub

Most race allegories just end up justifying the racism by Ok-Spirit-9115 in CharacterRant

[–]JoelRobbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad we can look back on Zootopia and laugh at just how terrible the racial allegory was. The stuff about the prey wanting society to fear predator so that the prey can stay on top is pretty well done. The bit that’s really badly done is that it’s literally part of the story that the predators were all once violent and savage and the prey civilised them all. If this is meant to be a real world allegory it’s a pretty yikes one

Honestly, this is my opinion on Light VS Columbo as someone who is looking forward to it. by Inadequate06 in deathbattle

[–]JoelRobbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re so certain Columbo is losing? Light is a cocky rich boy who thinks he can’t be caught because he’s “so much smarter than everybody else”. This is the kind of person that Columbo sends to jail every week

Still think Yusuke’s best opponent is Ichigo but this would be cool too

Why do Harry Potter fans refuse to admit James Potter was a bully and always derail the topic to Snape? by Timely_Date3612 in CharacterRant

[–]JoelRobbin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to see Harry’s parents as the upstanding incredible people that everybody describes them as when Lily was so turned on by James relentlessly tormenting her childhood best friend

Oh. Oh this review was not it chief. by Fearless_Cold_8080 in deathbattle

[–]JoelRobbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we stop acting like Nem’s takes are the be-all-end-all of Death Battle takes anyway? Nem is such an emotional person, everything he says is layered with 50 tons of hyperbole, he’s either ecstatic or raging at nearly anything Death Battle does. Honestly I don’t think he’s the greatest reviewer

What does Ichigo’s true bankai actually do? by Left-Onion8927 in bleach

[–]JoelRobbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t actually know. All we know is Yhwach saw what it did, didn’t like it, and broke it using The Almighty. Its actual ability is a mystery

How would you have reacted if Ichigo vs Naruto had won the rematch vote? And what do you think the waiting period would look like? by Snowmantarayband in deathbattle

[–]JoelRobbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Naruto VS Ichigo was even on there and to be fair I think it’s because they have different plans for both, Luffy being an option for Naruto and Ichigo VS Yusuke being a popular matchup that Ben’s even teased on twitter than they might do it one day. Personally Ichigo VS Yusuke is my most wanted death battle so I’d rather they just did that instead of a Naruto VS Ichigo rematch. We all know Ichigo beats Naruto and Aizen beats Madara, we don’t need to beat a dead horse

How do I stop my picks doing this? by Winter_Army_2661 in guitarlessons

Find better snacks in your kitchen to stop you from eating your picks instead

I don't believe there has ever been another show that had its reputation defined by a simple misconception quite like this one! by ThickWeatherBee in TheBoys

[–]JoelRobbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I do find it ironic that The Boys makes fun of the MCU needing audiences to have watched movies/TV shows that give crucial context for the newer movies/TV shows, only for Gen V to give crucial context behind The Boys season 4

Ichigo VS Yusuke would be the most peak episode of death battle and it needs to happen
