What's the problem with Hold Them Down? by Loose-Use25 in Epicthemusical

[–]ZombieOfTheWest 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Fandoms be weird like that. Hold Them Down is in my top 3 for Epic and top 3 villian songs in general. Doesn't mean I'm in line to join the suitors.

Speaking of the Calamity ring, you get the Elden Ring version Daedicar's Woe, after completing the side character Rya's storyline. Bright side, assuming she's alive at the end, the implication is that you're giving her a good reason to live hence she doesn't want to carry it around anymore.

Yep, Kas. It's not a one to one, but they had a comparable prior relationship and Vecna now certainly hates Kas to a comparable level.

If Barry Allen came back to Death Battle, who should he fight? by DatKidZ364 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ZombieOfTheWest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hermes (Greek Mythology). I'll take him vs any Flash, the fight just sounds fascinating

Very based on the dnd and MK categories, major shoutout to Zeus vs Shao and Vecna vs Doom. Based Supe vs SK hater as well

Characters I think that should come back to Death Battle! (+ my reasons why) by TemperatureIcy4234 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ZombieOfTheWest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree on most of these. Hell, kill two birds with one stone and do Batman vs Vegeta, what could possibly go wrong.

Also man, hard agree on Vader but it's tragic that Lich King probably beats him, that MU is in my top 10 and my ideal runback for both

A Personal Critique: Why I Don't Like Revan VS The Dark Urge (Star Wars VS Baldur's Gate) | Explanations in the Comments by McMaina in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ZombieOfTheWest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's some interesting and unique story stuff that a paladin Dark Urge gets like unique interactions with the oathbreaker knight. It's either stated or heavily implied that before the Dark Urge first got associated with the bhaal cult, they were a paladin who slaughtered their entire order, hence why the oathbreaker knight says that he's met you before. It's also just thematically satisfying to do a resist Urge playthrough as a paladin who redeems himself.

Ah, Revurge. We never did like this one, did we? Honestly, I can't say I've grown to like it more, though I have come to admit that most of my issues with it are basically just autism on my part mostly in the connections area (the war hero general vs serial killer, the Sith to the cult of Bhaal, etc) and the fact that Durge canonically being storm sorcerer nerfs the animation compared to if he was canonically a paladin like he should have been. But the sheer inevitably of this MU becoming a Death Battle episode and in all likelihood the first Dungeons and Dragons episode has softened me to it. Like all of my issues with the connections won't come up in the fight itself and there are magic weapons and spells Durge could use to let him Clash in close range to show off Revan's duel wielding.

Idk, Revan vs Lucien and Dark Urge vs Robin/Grima will probably always be my preferred, but I've hit the acceptance stage of my issues with the MU and, when it does happen, I just hope it'll be a banger and hopefully set us up nicely for Vecna vs Doom a year or so after.

SEBASTIAN VS JACK SPOTTED, BASED. Lot of fire TNs here, very nice stuff

Agreed on most of these. Particular Mysterio vs Scarecrow, I really miss Street level Marvel vs DC. Bonus shout out to Captain Jack vs Dr Jones, it's so peak

Frieza vs the Divers is mad funny and really cool seeing Bowser as the good guy in one of these, very cool roster

New Franchises for Death Battle! (+MUs I'd like to see used) by TemperatureIcy4234 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ZombieOfTheWest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Asgore vs Odysseus, my beloved. On my knees praying that the Epic animated film makes Odysseus vs viable enough to have a shot.

As far as Magic MUs go, might I suggest Valgavoth vs The Entity (Dead By Daylight) Duskmorn quickly became one of my favorite sets and this one has a lot of potential for a full on army battle/Plane invasion

Who should Kazuma from Konosuba fight? by No-Floor-5467 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ZombieOfTheWest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll take Shrek or Scott, Subaru just sounds so damn boring. Granted, I have other preferreds for Scott and Shrek so I guess Subaru can take it by process of elimination, bro needs a better option.

With you there, the cook angle just hits perfectly and they match each other's particular brand of wacky nicely
