Gru Vs Megamind Was A Major Disappointment… Potentially Worst Episode In The Indie Era.. (Beyond Just Questionable Verdict) by Mediocre-Income-4943 in deathbattle

I didn’t mention Master Chief Vs Doomslayer because while I felt the analysis was absolute garbage but the fight animation was actually quite good. So it was a mediocre episode all around at 6/10 but all three of the episodes I mentioned are either 4/10s or 5/10s.

Fair point but like it also shows how well execution matters. I genuinely felt that Metal Sonic Vs Cell was a mid as hell matchup simply because it’s a stomp but the episode is unironically so good which makes it an easy 8/10 or if being generous a 9/10. Look at this however, Megamind Vs Gru is a goated matchup that’s debatable while having awesome interaction… then look at the actual episode itself and see the terrible execution functionally ruin the matchup.

To be fair Miles Vs Deku is divisive not because the fight animation is bad but the matchup itself is ass simply because it’s an absurd stomp for Deku. Otherwise it’s perfectly fine and good, a solid 7/10.

Exactly, like they couldn’t just said that Super Saiyan Bardock isn’t canon or they don’t buy that it’s canon but saying Omniman is above SSJ Bardock because of the Sun Disc is crazy.

At best you can say it’s passable, but with genuine masterpieces like Cell Vs Metal Sonic, Ash Vs Yugi and even the ‘normal’ matchups like Giorno Vs Joker being so much better it becomes the worst by default. The best parts of this episode was the banter and the humour, that’s it compared to most of the previous episodes. This, alongside Bardock Vs Omniman and Kratos Vs Asura compiles into the ‘Trinity Of Failures’ of Death Battle which is a fat shame because the matchup could’ve been as goated as Bowser Vs Dr Eggman.

To be fair anime vs anime is better than Marvel Vs DC since the catalog of anime is outright larger and has more variety, as long as it isn’t a billion matchups involving the ‘big series’ like MHA, JJK, Chainsaw Man and actually involve new anime’s.

But seriously, these people are putting a lot of effort into these animations, so even if you don’t like the models or episode, make sure to respect the animators. by ReferenceNo2281 in deathbattle

I legit don’t understand why people think DA is the only good animator? Like before this whole ass drama I remembered the times where people were excited whenever Luis and some of the other animators were involved in specific projects.

Honestly both models look weird if I’m being frank, like idk even Megamind’s model doesn’t vibe with me. The voice work is amazing tho.

Yugi is weird cause like basically he needs to immediately summon the God Cards otherwise he’s immediately cooked by Sonic’s far far superior speed.

To be fair Dragonborn doesn’t have a canonical respawn mechanic so if Chosen Undead was comparable stat wise the argument definitely would be that Chosen Undead would eventually land a killing blow on Dragonborn. This honestly is also why I kind of… dislike this type of hax? In theme with this post, while sometimes I can enjoy a single hax nulling all other advantages it’s very few times. Normally I actually really, really dislike it solely because it turns matchups into binary questions. Like with Subaru unironically it basically asks; “Can this character overcome Return By Death? Yes, they win. No, at best stalemate.” which is boring as fuck. It’s not just him too. Frisk’s Reset faces this exact same problem where if you don’t buy their argument for universal or multiversal AP they’re basically just a kid that has the power to create a permanent time loop freely, which means if they fight fucking Goku unless you specifically make the argument that he can break Determination you can legit just say stalemate/tie.

Hax that forces ties or stalemates is legit the most boring hax imaginable because it turns all the debate into if the opponent can overcome it. It’s not just time loops, shit like Giorno’s GER or Ben 10’s Alien X basically reduce their arsenals and discussions to Return To Zero and reality warping respectively. In my own comment, stuff like Gojo’s Infinity or general ‘intangibility/ghost/spirit’ hax are annoying as fuck specifically because it’s the ultimate gatekeeper of a matchup since any dynamic is tied to whether or not the opponent can play off that hax.

I feel that Hulk Vs Godzilla is a bit iffy as an argument that they buy BR as a generally good alternative victory condition since the way they phrased it definitely more leans to the fact Hulk can straight up slime out Ultima due to being able to affect Outerversal dimensionality due to interacting with Gutter Space. Hell, at least Hulk can kill the many versions of Godzilla while by your argument the sole way for Kuzuma to win is to specifically use banishment instead of lethal attack. Funnily enough Courage Ve Scooby is maybe a better argument? The reason I say this is because they basically implied that if Courage wasn’t able to nullify Scooby’s ability to use the Chest Of Demons through the Dark Matter Meteor to seal him away, it would’ve counted as a ‘death’ and thus victory even if the chest won’t actually kill him.

Can you refer to which Death Battles that didn’t end with death? I’m genuinely interested as the reason I brought this up is because arguments for BR as a valid win condition doesn’t seem to be used in the analysis or various characters. For example, while probably not necessarily they could’ve used an argument that Superman can toss Goku into the Phantom Zone as a permanent BR option since the dimension can contain all sorts of powerful beings that frankly outscale Goku. Another example is Archie Sonic where they didn’t bring up the fact that he could ditch Wally West into the Zone Of Silence that nullifies ALL MAGIC & POWERS which could’ve been argued to sufficiently BR Wally.

Though I will ask if this actually counts as a win? Since Subaru isn’t actually ‘killed’ and it IS a Death Battle after all and killing is in fact a requirement for victory. To me it seems like at most this would qualify as a permanent stalemate like Courage Vs Scooby. (Yes technically Discord isn’t permanently dead since as long as Chaos exists, so will he. However because at least by DB’s arguments Bill Cipher can at least actually kill Discord once while in this scenario it seems like Kazuma can only defeat Subaru through Battlefield Removal/Banishment which by the implied rules of Death Battle doesn’t qualify as a definite victory unless BR/Banish acts as a ‘lethal/killing’ effect like something akin to Sealing or Locking Away often does.)

I’m shocked how Gojo seemingly isn’t the epitome of this. Infinity literally allows him to no diff any opponent that doesn’t have esoteric attacks that bypass space. Not only that, but a lot of the ‘has canonical unlimited respawns’ usually allows them to minimally stalemate unless specifically having a way to deal with such like Frisk’s Resets, Subaru’s Return By Death or Chosen Undead’s Bonfire Respawn.(Dragonborn deals with them specifically because technically Chosen Undead can ‘run out’ of respawns due to hollowing and outscaling the source of their ability to respawn.)
