    It is CRIMINAL that this doesn't have more views.
    Death Battle's first season really does feel like the first season of a show launched 10+ years ago on the internet. Despite it being rough around the edges, the childhood nostalgia for all of these episodes, decent matchups, and the benchmarks & standards laid slowly but surely in this very season alone is what makes it a blast to rewatch via a critical lens.
    Slightly off-topic, but it sucks that Rewind Rumble went nowhere, though, truly making it the K-Mart of versus shows.

    • @JonathanFrostathan
      @JonathanFrostathan  Рік тому +10

      Season 2 is what gave me the most/best memories of the show, but season 1 was a fun revisit (barring some obvious contenders). Goku vs Superman definitely made up for the low points, though.
      Also, poor Rewind Rumble. Could be a legitimately good alternative to DB, but they focused too much on Sans and other shitty meme matchups. Ya hate to see it.

    • @h8thegr8
      @h8thegr8 Рік тому +6

      @@JonathanFrostathan Season 2 was a solid follow-up to season 1, with even more polish, better fight choreography, and WAY less stinkers in both who wins and how they won (except for that ONE episode, ugh). Also, it had a decent finale to top everything off with a neatly wrapped bow. Can’t wait for your next DB analysis of all the S2 episodes!
      Also yeah, Rewind Rumble just turning into Cartoon Fight Club (*shudders*) mid-way through its lifespan really sucked, but nothing beats looking at the Vs Battles Wiki & Forums to truly find out who beats who.

    Thats actually a reference to the show that inspired Death Battle, Deadliest Warrior

    So, the connection that Boomstick is trying to make between Kratos' skin turning white from the ash of his family to Michael jackson, I believe, is a reference to how Michael Jackson had vitiligo, which caused patches of his skin to become white, and a few things about his father...

    You know, under normal circumstances, the equal amd casual acknowledgement, treatment and presentation of all these different groups of people in season 1 would be praise-worthy.
    Unfortunately, this season came out in the early 2010s Internet.
    Also, glad to hear someone share my thoughts on legacy matchups. I understamd that this might be a craaaazy opinion, but I'd like my matchup to have something more than just "a lot of people want it".
    Wiz: Mickey's weapons are technically NOT WEAPONS, since they were originally farming tools.
    Also Wiz: Master Splinter gave THE MOST COMPLICATED WEAPON to the (bad word) of the group.
    Is anyone else curious about how Shadversity would react ti the TMNT Battle Royale, considering all the talk about weapons and the nunchunk rants in it?

      Pretending that JB vs RB is kind of a running joke in the community (at least with the people I've interacted with), but when it got to the point where I needed to talk about it, I felt that it would be necessary to dissect it like I would any other episode. Not just to explain why it's fucked up, but also to explain why it fails as a joke episode outside of the scumminess of it all. Nem didn't really give the episode a proper review, and while I respect and understand why that is, I didn't want to go that same route.

    46:40 my biggest complaint about Starscream Vs Rainbow Dash, is that they compared him too much to an ACTUAL F-15 Eagle. While I do understand why they did this, and while this comparison would be logical at first glance, this fails to take into account that Starscream is an ALIEN ROBOT. he is vastly VASTLY different from a normal F-15. For instance, he can fly to space. That is something a normal F-15 cannot do. And in the back of the original toy's box, it states that Starscream's top speed is Mach 2.8. For reference, the top speed of an Eagle is Mach 2.5. Screamer is faster by Mach 0.3 according to the box. And his engines are also cybetronian scramjet engines, which are vastly different from normal F-15 engines.
    And yes, his Null-Rays CAN kill. In the G1 tv show, we see him destroying stuff with them, and even in the 1986 movie, we see him blast trumpets that were played in his coronation. His Null-Rays can be and ARE lethal.
    Lastly, they also forgot one key armament of the F-15: the F-15 can carry NUKES. Specifically only two. The pilots call them "Buckets of instant sunshine". Had Screamer been equipped with these, he could have just vaporized Dash in an instant.
    Hell, the guy that made the calculations for Rainbow Dash's speed later went on to admit that he had it wrong, that that her actual speed falls somewhere between Mach 3.0 to 3.5. Bringing her EASILY up to par with Starscream.
    I will play devil's advocate a little though and say that perhaps the whole "Starscream just standing there" bit may have been to show him struggling to keep up with Dash, since she was "more agile and faster" than him.
    Also, Starscream can possess techno-organic life forms, which means he could have possessed Rainbow Dash if he wanted to after she ate his spark. (Side note, they also brushed off the fact that Starscream's spark is immortal and cannot die, even if he is eaten, which I find pretty dumb in their part tbh)
    In short, that battle was BS and Staracream should have won. I. WANT. A. REMATCH!!!

    I feel like lowkey it’s a contradiction to your own criteria that the messed up numbers in the Goku v Superman don’t influence you, but fair enough if the nostalgia and effort in other areas is enough for ya.
    The “attention to detail” in Superman not damaging the city but Goku being fine with doing so is actually a bad showing of Goku’s character. Goku hates fighting in populated areas, even a wasteland that only has corpses is enough for Goku to dislike and have him ask Vegeta to move the fight elsewhere. Goku also doesn’t get power from the sun, I don’t know where that came from at all. There’s just way too much wrong with Goku’s section, and as a massive dragon ball fan, no amount of effort can make up for the glaring mistakes in Goku’s scaling, lol. The “thematic ending” is also just kind of bullshit and antithetical to what vs battle debates are.
    But yeah, I do agree there are more incorrect battles, with Gaara vs Toph being perhaps the most egregious.

    It's so funny to me hearing you say that the takes on Sonic were bad then, and you follow that up by dunking on 06. This isn't a personal attack or me having a go at you personally, it's just the most tired "haha, 06 bad" comment you could give. 06 isn't even that bad, especially in comparison to other Sonic games. The levels are well designed for the speed the game has, most of the characters are fun to play as, the story is brilliant with some of the best portrayal of characters the Sonic series has ever seen... I mean, Secret Rings came out the next year, and while I still don't think it's a bad game, it's not that fun to play, and you have to fight the game to even control it.
    What I'm saying is, it's ironic you call out Death Battle for being dated, then make a dated "haha, 06 bad" reference. (Also Colours, Lost World and Forces are way worse than 06, at least 06 is fun when it works)
