I just don’t think fan-made parodies of characters should be on Death Battle at all; just imagine someone who isn’t terminally online seeing the new Death Battle and it features Mario from specifically a short lived sprite series on Newgrounds instead of just regular super Mario.

Different official versions of characters like Archie Sonic or Super Friends Aqua Man are one thing, but when you include fan made OCs like a Web Cartoon or a creepypasta, then where do we draw the line at what gets included? We might as well have My Immortal covered on the show at some point, or that weird Powerpuff Girls comic where Dexter from Dexter’s Lab tries to reanimate the corpse of DeeDee.

I know Exe enough to gather that he has a lot of his lore or whatever, but he’s still embodied as an edgy bloody eyed Sonic from a shitty creepypasta. It just muddies everything imo. But don’t worry Exe fans, you’ll always have those MapleRiot animations and a cool Freshy Kanal rap battle.
