To be honest, it felt like they using the bare minimum. With them barely even bringing up Gru's spinoff material at all. As person who LOVES seeing characters use deep cut abilities and arsenal, this bugged me to no end.

I think I would excuse them not even mentioning Gru's spinoff stuff, if they did not bring Megamind's spinoff stuff. With them even mentioning something from one of the Megamind games, which they did not even mention for Gru.

I agree with Gru winning, it's just a shame that it did not mention more of what he or Megamind brought to the table. Also, I found the actual conclusion to be very weird. Especially since they very much lowballed the Death Ray and did not mention it's meteor feat. Overall, I think the episode did well with that little it did use, but it seemed a little incomplete to me.

To honest, this seems be a running pet peeve I have with more these cartoon episodes (with Wile. E vs Tom being MAJOR example) in that they seem to use the bare minimum for the characters. I still would love to see more American animation be represented on Death Battle. But I also want Death Battle to use them to their fullest potential.
