Good lord that Gru model looks so bad.

Grus model probably looks the way it does because it functions/emotes better than other Gru models despite looking off. For example, look at Kratos in Krasura, it's the same as the games, but it moved stiffly and emoted like ass (see Kratos smiling). If it looks off, it's most likely for a reason, same situation with Omni Mans model.

Mismatch, will likely have a line about Luffy trying to avenge Ace.
Sheesh... I wasn't expecting all this. I feel like you can a make poll on which Shonen (that usually doesn't have tons of explicitly cosmic feats) is the most controversial/scrutinized on having tier 2 characters.
*Bleach?
*Black Clover?
*Fairy Tail?
*Naruto/Boruto?

Remember, the votes somehow thought Frieren can win against Keyleth despite Keyleth having counters and haxes that go beyond anything in Frieren's verse. They're typically slow or just prefer going by 'I like them/know them more so they win'

The cast did confirm that Minion is in the fight animation, just didn't show up in the teaser.

I was gonna say "Yeah, we saw Minions in the preview," then I realized you're talking about Megamind Minion

His opinions on any series, as well as their levels of power are utter garbage, no to mention his personality is something I never liked of either of this guyI didn't watch the cast but no damn shot he ended up arguing for lake level Natsu
I dont know why he even bothers to show up to these, what is he helping with? Whats his purpose at all? He clearly could care less just by how he acts

According to the DB wiki, he's a producer, writer, actor, and director.

Fans saved the show and specifically donated for that episode. They have the right to criticize this.
TBF, a fight can look ugly and still be great, a lot of older eps suffer from using low quality models but the choreography saves them. We'll see

idk much but he was trashed No More Heroes, Kid Icarus, and other series for being outdated and irrelevant. He said Killer Instinct had too many episodes for example.

Honestly, preview was fine enough. Flying scene looked good, Megamind looks good, Minions look ok
But uhh yeah, that Gru model looks like worst visual in Indie DB. And we are allowed to criticize it.
...but do people actually reply to this that DA needs to come back, the layers on that oof lol

Could also just be a new animator learning the ropes. With DA's departure, how many mainstay 3-D animators are left with the crew? Personally I don't think it's too bad, but I'd rather see the fully finished product when the episode airs.

multi-continental level for a feat I tried to get calculated for awhile that I don't think got one here

Sam is actually what Ben and Chad was in S1, he really doesnt actually debate worth a shit lol
Anyways, Gru is tbh a secretly hard character to animate. He needs a lot of subtle animations and a lot of facial expression. Just a bit less and everyone talked about it, but frankly it prolly is hard to animate Gru and most wouldnt think that.

Gru/Megamind is the one kickstarter episode this doesn't apply to funnily enough, since it was part of the stretch goal for $800,000, but they only hit $740,000, so fans did not in fact fund it., it was just included as a special thanks.
I second that the Gru model looks rather wonky, but also people are being massively hyperbolic over snippets of a 15 second preview. The Bakugo/Reze hand-drawn segment in the building from the very previous episode looked even worse (Reze literally does the meme Kitana low kick from MKX that's been mocked for looking atrocious) but DB fans are much more used to ropey off-model looking hand drawn segments than 3D since like 2/3 of their recent episodes have 1 or multiple odd looking hand drawn bits. It feels like a Dante/Clive situation where people latch onto a less than perfect shot from the preview (remember the bitching about Clive's face?) then just stop caring once the full episode drops and it turns out to not matter at all. Megamind's model in the very same preview looks fantastic.
Gru/Megamind was always going to be the episode people give the most unfair comparisons to the original source material with, since it was always going to be 3D animated (you are joking if you think a sprite fight between these 2 would be well received or a good idea), and frankly, a lot of people just don't clock how expensive and difficult 3D animation is. Anybody expecting Dreamworks or Illumination level models and animation from Death Battle, who are working with like <1% of the budget of even Megamind Rules, let alone the actual movies, was always going to be disappointed.
I for one am still looking forward to peak, and have faith they'll stick the landing. Though I do feel they probably shouldn't have done a sneak peak in hindsight, or at least should've used different clips of Gru, that shot in the aircraft is probably the least flattering one they could've possibly used

Sprites and hand drawn is tougher, bowser vs eggman looked as good at it did due to the time and money had available
3D is much easier as you just have to animate a single model moving around compared to something you have to do by hand in each frame, also are there even any sprites with them existing?
