Sportacus is kinda reaching Shaggy levels of meme. "Yeah, we were on set, and he decided to materialize a greek god into existence so he had someone to wrestle with."
@@TheMasterBlazein my opinion. Now I don't remember his name. But the "bad guy" in lazy town is a legend, More than sportacus I think. Sportacus is more of a Luigi than a Mario if you get what I mean.
Even more nuts, it looks like he only took one bite out of that apple before getting the strength to lift it. Imagine the power boost he'd get from eating the whole thing down to the core.
Dante vs sporticus starts as a breakdancing competition, takes a turn at them having a contact juggling fight over an apple and ends with them going for a pizza. Neither of them count the calories, nor do they need them to.
@@goldend791 He'd probably have a 'sports pizza' and it has no cheese and just vegetables for toppings. Dante would be disgusted. He's a Pepperoni and Salami guy!
Sporticus wouldn't destroy anybody. He would teach them the value of hard work, exercise and eating right and getting plenty of sleep. He would make homelander a better person. That's what sporticus would do.
Would he though? He could never get Robbie Rotten to exercise and he’s relatively harmless, how would he fare against a legit sociopath like Homelander?
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" makes me think of doctors as like, weird vampire creatures that curl back and hiss at you if you show them an apple.
A thing I find funny about the “who would win” debates with Sportacus is that he’s fundamentally a cartoon character that works on cartoon logic despite being a live action character. As it stands he basically has the rule set of Popeye where he will win if he eats his spinach/apple. There isn’t power to it, there isn’t reality to it, and there isn’t any form of logic to it. He will suit win because that’s what he does. To go back to Popeye if you made him fight super man he’d win, but not because he’s more powerful rather because he is just a cartoon that works off of cartoon logic.
Homelander’s whole schtick is that he’s a Big fish in a small pond, if you put him in any universe where there are other super powered being, he would get his ass beat so hard it would become as flat as a board
Especially for the show since a major point of that whole series is that “the gods can bleed.” Homelander is only the most powerful person there because there distinctly aren’t that many super powered people in this world, and most super powered people are made to be less powerful than him.
It was said that he'd beat superman as he plays dirty. Nope. Superman would effing body Homelander then sit his ass down and make him see reason Krypton be damned
The Boys introduced millions of people to comic book style power scaling but they think that's the ceiling of what most comic book characters can do, when like most street level Marvel heroes would kick Homelander's arse.
My favourite sportacus-related fact is that magnus became a gymnast to win a bet he made with a workmate one day. (Oh yeah, he was a master carpenter with his own business before becoming an athelte. No big, right?)
Considering that fruits have sugar as well. When Sporticus eats a candy-filled apple he goes into a sugar crash that renders him into a coma-like state. His body is probably over sensitive to sugar. So when he has too much, he's probably overloading whatever in his body allows him to gain his strength, but when he has just enough, his body is super charged. So he needs a balanced meal to be in top shape. Meaning his only weaknesses are the limitations of the human body and/or Diabetes.
Sportacus gets his power from "sports candy" otherwise known as "an apple" otherwise known as "sugar" It's not even like sugar has special properties in the series either. Robby Rotten eats way more and he's useless.
Well, in fact they actually explained this away in the show, like in how and why the characters who ate fruits and vegetables would energize while the ones eating "regular candy" wouldn't. Fruits and vegetables contain complex sugars and fiber, while candy doesn't, it's just processed and refined sugar "simple sugar", that causes crashes and being sleepy and lazy after a rapid outburst or "energy" but no long lasting effects, which pretty much lines up with real life, except that complex sugars and animoacids don't make us become super athletes. I only know this because, like Karl, I have a brother 10 years younger than me and he'd watch this all the time as a very very young kid. As a teenager I didn't really care much about it but I thought this was a great show for him to watch though.
Actually with all the talk about backflips, that reminded me, the agent that sold me my car included in what I was getting “a back flip” apparently it’s his thing. Does a backflip for each sale. Best part, be does it in business casual attire so it looks even more impressive!
Everyone forgets that Aquaman, as long as he's in water, is basically superman. And outside of it, he's baseform hulk with telepathy and some magic. But noooooooooo...
i always go for krillin vs bandana dee from kirby two characters who always get made out to be weak but if you pay attention they are WAY stronger than you think
@@synisterintent In a straight up 1v1 fight it might be closer but Aquaman's Telepathy is absurdly broken, he can control sea animals, land animals, humans, martians, THE OLD GODS. Like In DC the essence of all life was created by the Primordial god who made the ocean and as King of the Ocean Aquaman just has the ability to control both the Mind and Soul of things that are alive.
even more crazy is hat Magnus became a gymnast and body builder on a dare. Him and a friend dared eachother to become the best in the world at a strange job, and he became a gymnast.
Karl's comparison of Homelander to Golden Age Superman is accurate and about Homelander's power scale. Homelander is the apex super of The Boys/Gen V universe. In most supers settings, Homelander would be mid tier in power scale. That's impressive, but he would get wrecked by any variant of any Superman other than the Golden Age version from the comics and the Fleischer animated shorts. Sportacus' strength is up there with the strongest heroes of DC Comics.
Puppets and live action mix fine if you have the right actors. Like how Michael Caine did great alongside the Muppets because he treated them like fellow professional actors. Or how Tim Curry was great with the Muppets because he saw himself as a fellow Muppet
I think what really makes homelander easy to beat is the fact that he has absolutely no idea how to fight, because in his universe he doesn't need to. You can get a steet level hero who would be physically weaker and he'd still lose because they have proper experience fighting super powered people who actually know how to fight, so homelander is easy pickings
"This Homelander guy is really hard to get up close too to defeat. I know what I need. An apple!" *eats apple, starts backflipping and somersaulting past and over Homelander's eye-beams who cant hit him for shit, gets his head kicked by Sportacus, lifted and yeeted into space*
can we talk about doing an home run to the moon? 27:12? to send an apple to the moon you need to make it reach escape velocity with a single strike. earth's escape velocity is about 11 km/s. Doing some quick math, striking an apple so hard it reaches escape velocity requires around 12 MJ (Mega Joules, or 12 000 000 Joules), which is enough energy to power a house for about 4 hours. Assuming the Force is applied over a distance of 1 cm (that is the apple is in contact with the bat for a distance of 1 cm before rocketing off), that's a force of 1200 MN, or 120 000 000 kg of force. And it didn't look to me like a max effort, sportacus just casually did it.
Its always been my head cannon that Robby Rotten is like a failed trainee for the Sportacus position or an ex-sportacus who just wants to fuckin chill.
According to the old Lazytown website, Robbie and Alex (Sportacus 10's civilian identity) went to school together, and Robbie used to bully Alex. Then Alex ended up under the mentorship of Sportacus 9, and the rest is history.
I think a rather interesting fight would be the TF2 Spy vs James Bond. On paper this looks like a wash; more of who outwits who first (which is probably the TF2 spy). But I see this fight occur how the rules work in the John Wick universe work. Bond has more gadgets to play with, but the spy has better techniques. Bond also has high luck and incredible instincts, and mostly has to Macgyver or A-team his way through situations. The spy has more of a traditional approach of technical analysis and intelligence gathering; rather than always picking a fight. Both masters of their craft it would be a rather complex fight that could be game of chasing tails close encounters and climax ultimate showdown. A true thrilling epic of the best of Le Bleu et Rouge and 007
Armstrong vs Bradley from FMA Brotherhood. Both are political leaders that are secretly psychotic crazy men. Both are actually augmented humans. Both can face tank explosions. Both have the squarest heads in the world. And finally Bradley was able to take down Greed who is literally just Armstrongs nanomachines. So that way Bradley can do that cool thing Sam did and chop off his arm.
I still think chapolin would be a really fun character to analyze in this way. He's also a super hero from a kids show. But unlike sportacus he isn't efficient and amazing. He is clumsy, cowardly and weak. But when you see the shit he can do it's quite impressive. Like holding onto an "aerolito" that accidentaly flew him into space. The fact that he is immortal or time travels since he can be in any time period. The several gadgets he has, including a horn that freezes people in time when he uses it.
I wouldn't do colossus vs. Armstrong because the only connection they share is skin deep. Most death battles feature characters that have some kind of connection whether that be from memes, being the same character type in their respective universes, or having comparable events happen to them. Goku vs Superman for the shared origin story, Deadpool vs Pinkie Pie because theyre both memey 4th wall destroyers, Beerus vs Sailor Galaxia because they both embody universal destruction, etc. I'd think it be better to put Armstrong up against another morally dubious politician with their own plans for presidency and what they think America should be. Theres only one guy I can think of and I don't know his capabilities at all but I think that Valentine guy from Jojos steel ball run would be a valid contender for the college football senator.
Funny Valentine vs Armstrong is a seamless Funny Valentine victory. Funny Valentine himself is just, like, a guy. He can't do anything. However, that guy has the Stand Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (henceforth D4C), which is the game changer. The relevant factors for this battle are: - As a Stand, D4C cannot be harmed by Armstrong, since he does not have a Stand himself. Armstrong also can't even *see* D4C either for the same reason. (For what it's worth if Armstrong were to get a Stand these factors would be eliminated and he would almost certainly win easily) - D4C's power is enabling multiverse travel when placing someone between two objects. The objects do not have to exert any actual pressure, as the main thing Valentine uses to enable this is an ordinary American flag. The multiverse provides Valentine with both sufficient offensive and defensive potential. - Funny Valentine is not his own first, nor will he be his own last. There have been several Valentines, often at the same time, and many have outright died, but a new Valentine will simply take his place so long as D4C is intact. Armstrong can effortlessly eviscerate Valentine in a single punch, but that doesn't matter, because D4C will simply bring in a new one. There is no known limit to the multiversal supply. - When a person other than Valentine is brought into another universe, they will be drawn towards their parallel self. This is generally considered undesirable, as when the parallel selves approach (they don't need to make contact so the nanomachine shield doesn't help), they will collide like matter and antimatter and be mutually obliterated on a molecular level. As much as Armstrong is capable of, he cannot beat an infinitely respawning guy who needs only drape a flag over him for the laws of the multiverse to seal his inevitable doom. Valentine only loses in his own story because the guy who beats him unleashes an infinite epsilon extradimensional void that pulls in D4C from across the multiverse. It's also worth noting that the above is not the limits of D4C's abilities, only the ones that determine the fight. If we account for D4C: Love Train, then Armstrong wouldn't even be able to land a punch.
One matchup that i think would be pretty fun is Specter Knight from the 'Shovel Knight' games vs King Boo from 'Mario.' They're both magical ghosts from video game series with a cartoonish style which could make for absolutely ridiculous scaling who serve the primary antagonist in mainline titles while also being much more interesting than the main characters and villains of said mainline titles when they're allowed to be center stage as either the primary villain like in 'Luigi's Mansion' or the main character like 'Specter of Torment.'
One character I would like to see examined is King Dedede, from the Kirby games. Kirby is famously stupidly powerful, but King Dedede somehow is a match for him on several levels. Besides, I love the character because he is a good guy deep inside. He wants to rule the world, but he want to do it responsibly, and he cares about his subjects. He just don't like to be told he isn't the King. A fan quote about hypothetical battles against him have say something of the like of "what kind of monster fight a child at his full strength", suggesting that he could be even more powerful.
Hey let’s not get too crazy now. Raditz wouldn’t beat homelander. He’s so weak they use his base power as their measurement for power. Homelander is easily 1.0000001 Radtiz which is more than Raditz.
39:23 meh, sorry to be that guy... Homelander couldn't lift the plane because he had no where to stand. He implies that he could if they weren't in the middle of the ocean.
But for real, Bluey is incredible. Not only is it entertaining, I genuinely find myself seeing Bandit as a role model for what being a good father looks like.
I can easily imagine Homelander going super speed and raining down a thousand punches and then Sportacus just casually dodges it with a single backflip cutscene 😭🤣
I used to do a lunging shoulder roll on command and would do it in the grass often. I was in a boffer swordfighting match and did a rolling sword grab from a weapon laying on the ground and came up in a turning roll;; and then promptly ate a thrown spear to the chest for all the bombast. Was a liiiiil tipsy at a havest festival for that. Couldn't believe I did it at all.
Tomie vs most characters would be interesting. She’s not physically very strong, but she can manipulate people’s emotions (to the point where they want to kill her but still) and she can’t die.
I think that City of Heroes is a surprisingly useful tool for comparing supers, but given the sheer breadth of powers Homelander has, it's actually quite hard to build him. (Hypothetically: Brute with Super Strength and Invulnerability, taking the Flight and Energy Mastery and maybe Presence power pools, giving him a rough in-game level of 41.) That said, even with that, he's mostly not taking on foes who are actually at his power level, and while he would absolutely wipe the floor with most low-level foes, he really isn't equipped to deal with (for instance) a significant number of groups in the CoH 'verse, particularly given he's not shown to have any resistance at all to psionics. Also, considering that he's stated to be literally a demigod, Statesman, who's the CoH equivalent to Superman and by implication Homelander, would absolutely wipe the floor with Homelander.
Heheheh... Sportacus is the MAN. That pyramid thing has me thinking you should look at Wally Washington. Just a retired guy in Michigan who figured out how to build stonehenge, alone, in his backyard without modern tools, which also explains the pyramids - after literally centuries of archaeologists and engineers handwaving the question with imaginary cranes made of sticks and ropes.
I think part of the reason Homelander loses so much honestly comes down to, who the heck WANTS to see that guy win? He’s a badguy, so he’s supposed to lose, no matter how strong he is. That honestly makes it easier to find the flaws and take him down.
I think you missed the truly interesting debate, which is; in this scenario while Sportacus prepares for his showdown with Homelander, what plan would the Boys be cooking up to take down Sportacus? And how would that go?
So, when it comes to Armstrong vs. the Megazord, the Megazord loses. And we actually know this because of Death Battle. The Megazord was in a Death Battle against Voltron, and lost. Iirc, a big part of the Megazord's loss was due to Voltron's speed. Voltron can move faster than light. The Megazord is never shown to have anywhere near lightspeed movement. Given that Armstrong approaches some percentage of the speed of light, he very likely wins in a match up with the Megazord.
All right so, now that we have everyone here, let's discuss who are the other Sportacuses??? We have a rough idea of who nine was, a character from a play made by the same person that would eventually make LazyTown, but like what about one through eight? They had to have existed, the one we have in the main timeline now is 10 and the one that we know came before him was nine
I think a fascinating detail about Homelander is that he has no actual combat ability. He doesn't know any hand-to-hand combat or weapons training. It's all his powers.

- As a Stand, D4C cannot be harmed by Armstrong, since he does not have a Stand himself. Armstrong also can't even *see* D4C either for the same reason. (For what it's worth if Armstrong were to get a Stand these factors would be eliminated and he would almost certainly win easily)
- D4C's power is enabling multiverse travel when placing someone between two objects. The objects do not have to exert any actual pressure, as the main thing Valentine uses to enable this is an ordinary American flag. The multiverse provides Valentine with both sufficient offensive and defensive potential.
- Funny Valentine is not his own first, nor will he be his own last. There have been several Valentines, often at the same time, and many have outright died, but a new Valentine will simply take his place so long as D4C is intact. Armstrong can effortlessly eviscerate Valentine in a single punch, but that doesn't matter, because D4C will simply bring in a new one. There is no known limit to the multiversal supply.
- When a person other than Valentine is brought into another universe, they will be drawn towards their parallel self. This is generally considered undesirable, as when the parallel selves approach (they don't need to make contact so the nanomachine shield doesn't help), they will collide like matter and antimatter and be mutually obliterated on a molecular level.
As much as Armstrong is capable of, he cannot beat an infinitely respawning guy who needs only drape a flag over him for the laws of the multiverse to seal his inevitable doom. Valentine only loses in his own story because the guy who beats him unleashes an infinite epsilon extradimensional void that pulls in D4C from across the multiverse.
It's also worth noting that the above is not the limits of D4C's abilities, only the ones that determine the fight. If we account for D4C: Love Train, then Armstrong wouldn't even be able to land a punch.
Imagine Homelander vs Toph Beifong.
Young toph may have issues but old lady toph is burying Homelander
@@rustyrelicsfarm2406 Toph would absolutely destroy Homelander
It's Magnus's birthday today btw. He's turning 60
One matchup that i think would be pretty fun is Specter Knight from the 'Shovel Knight' games vs King Boo from 'Mario.' They're both magical ghosts from video game series with a cartoonish style which could make for absolutely ridiculous scaling who serve the primary antagonist in mainline titles while also being much more interesting than the main characters and villains of said mainline titles when they're allowed to be center stage as either the primary villain like in 'Luigi's Mansion' or the main character like 'Specter of Torment.'
35:41 Amercan here. I think Robbie Rotten looks like the adult version of the Big Boy restaurant chain mascot.
22:24 Give him an Energy Sword!
Cap's shield, cos it's defensive and a Frisbee.
Let's see him do Blades of Chaos combos like Kratos, but dual-wielding yo-yos. XD
WHO WOULD WIN
A 40k Primarch or Sportacus?
Or, Sportacus Vs Saitama
@@Chris-et2fm Genos interrupting: Master, there is a discount on fruit.
Saitama: ... okay, we finish this later.
Sportacus: I want sports candy!
I feel embarrassed to say I didn't remember his name even though I watched the hell out of this show.
Karl wants to learn no handed cart wheels to live that raiden fantasy 😂
5:23 his face here killed me for about 5 minutes
I like the theory that the reason sugar makes him so weak is he's just diabetic
It’s not a death battle per se, but I would love to see someone do a proper deep dive into could Columbo catch Light Yagami.
One character I would like to see examined is King Dedede, from the Kirby games.
Kirby is famously stupidly powerful, but King Dedede somehow is a match for him on several levels. Besides, I love the character because he is a good guy deep inside.
He wants to rule the world, but he want to do it responsibly, and he cares about his subjects. He just don't like to be told he isn't the King.
A fan quote about hypothetical battles against him have say something of the like of "what kind of monster fight a child at his full strength", suggesting that he could be even more powerful.
21:40 Blades of Chaos.
I think I have a good Versus idea 'ere. A 2 vs 2:
Richie and Eddie - from Bottom
VS
Charlie and Frank - from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Remember Sportacus's archnemesis Robbie Rotten scales to Ultra Instinct Shaggy >.>
I kind of forgot this show existed, but now I remember watching it as a kid. Brings back good memories😊❤
I look forward to Lazy Town's next resurgence in meme culture in 2030
Honestly even Yamcha could beat Homelander. A Saibaman could beat Homelander. RADITZ could beat Homelander.
Pre-Z ROSHI could beat Homelander.
@@Connor-ONeill 100% true statement.
Jackie Chun could beat Homelander.
@@chapablo Ha.
Hey let’s not get too crazy now. Raditz wouldn’t beat homelander. He’s so weak they use his base power as their measurement for power. Homelander is easily 1.0000001 Radtiz which is more than Raditz.
39:23 meh, sorry to be that guy... Homelander couldn't lift the plane because he had no where to stand. He implies that he could if they weren't in the middle of the ocean.
I still dont belive a word that man says. Could just be cop out cuz he lazy
if he were a better superhero, he'd just fly, use his flying speed/force to slow the plane to a stop, lift it up while in mid air.
But for real, Bluey is incredible. Not only is it entertaining, I genuinely find myself seeing Bandit as a role model for what being a good father looks like.
OH
it's the hero from that "We are number 1" song
Fellas when girls say guys have no version of barbie standards on them say look up sportakiss
I can easily imagine Homelander going super speed and raining down a thousand punches and then Sportacus just casually dodges it with a single backflip cutscene 😭🤣
I used to do a lunging shoulder roll on command and would do it in the grass often. I was in a boffer swordfighting match and did a rolling sword grab from a weapon laying on the ground and came up in a turning roll;; and then promptly ate a thrown spear to the chest for all the bombast.
Was a liiiiil tipsy at a havest festival for that. Couldn't believe I did it at all.
Tomie vs most characters would be interesting. She’s not physically very strong, but she can manipulate people’s emotions (to the point where they want to kill her but still) and she can’t die.
I think that City of Heroes is a surprisingly useful tool for comparing supers, but given the sheer breadth of powers Homelander has, it's actually quite hard to build him. (Hypothetically: Brute with Super Strength and Invulnerability, taking the Flight and Energy Mastery and maybe Presence power pools, giving him a rough in-game level of 41.)
That said, even with that, he's mostly not taking on foes who are actually at his power level, and while he would absolutely wipe the floor with most low-level foes, he really isn't equipped to deal with (for instance) a significant number of groups in the CoH 'verse, particularly given he's not shown to have any resistance at all to psionics.
Also, considering that he's stated to be literally a demigod, Statesman, who's the CoH equivalent to Superman and by implication Homelander, would absolutely wipe the floor with Homelander.
Steven Universe is also great, especially because it addresses real issues that both kids and adults face.
Okay now we need either Dante edited into Sportacus doing the moves he does or Sportacus modded into Devil May Cry, or both
30:07 Snake vs Master Chief? 😂
Master Chief has more raw power, but I wouldnt be surprised to see that Snake managed to defeat chief before chief even knew he was a threat
Heheheh... Sportacus is the MAN. That pyramid thing has me thinking you should look at Wally Washington. Just a retired guy in Michigan who figured out how to build stonehenge, alone, in his backyard without modern tools, which also explains the pyramids - after literally centuries of archaeologists and engineers handwaving the question with imaginary cranes made of sticks and ropes.
Homelander has no actual combat skills or martial arts.
Omg, I totally forgot about existance of this show, I'll HAVE TO rewatch it now ❤
Armstrong vs Adam Smasher. THAT'S a fight I'd want to see.
God I love this Argument.
He didn't eat the apple. He took 1 bite. Not even the whole apple.
Here's the real question: Sportacus with an apple vs. Popeye with a can of spinach?
Its absurdity like this that makes me enjoy powerscaling.
That, and the math and research, because I'm a nerd.
Can we also talk about the fact his airship took the pyramid as well
1:37 I think there's a manga out there where Broly chilled inside a Black hole, if I'm not mistaken
Season 1 Homelander just felt stronger than the current versions. He was ambiguously strong, but now we've seen him hit limits and take damage.
I'm 39 and I like bright colorful characters too... I do have Age Regression tho, lol.
A good friend of mine his younger sister was the second Stephanie
this has made me realize i need a Sportacus figure
Yo that outro song is fire
Don't compare classic Superman to that wussbag Homelander. Fleischer Superman can literally punch lasers and win.
I think part of the reason Homelander loses so much honestly comes down to, who the heck WANTS to see that guy win? He’s a badguy, so he’s supposed to lose, no matter how strong he is. That honestly makes it easier to find the flaws and take him down.
I think you missed the truly interesting debate, which is; in this scenario while Sportacus prepares for his showdown with Homelander, what plan would the Boys be cooking up to take down Sportacus? And how would that go?
Apples that Sportacus eat are Forbidden Fruits from The Garden of Eden.
Ah yes, my reminder to play dmc
Wait, is 19:12 where that tune's from?
Its "We are number one" its a Lazytown original from what i recall
So, when it comes to Armstrong vs. the Megazord, the Megazord loses. And we actually know this because of Death Battle. The Megazord was in a Death Battle against Voltron, and lost. Iirc, a big part of the Megazord's loss was due to Voltron's speed. Voltron can move faster than light. The Megazord is never shown to have anywhere near lightspeed movement. Given that Armstrong approaches some percentage of the speed of light, he very likely wins in a match up with the Megazord.
The pirate episode was the best in lazy town!
Is it really a vid from karl without metal gear revengence
All right so, now that we have everyone here, let's discuss who are the other Sportacuses???
We have a rough idea of who nine was, a character from a play made by the same person that would eventually make LazyTown, but like what about one through eight? They had to have existed, the one we have in the main timeline now is 10 and the one that we know came before him was nine
I think a fascinating detail about Homelander is that he has no actual combat ability. He doesn't know any hand-to-hand combat or weapons training. It's all his powers.
