DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (2024–2025) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

Damn it’s almost been a week since bowser vs eggman? Amonguys really is making the time fly due to apathy
 
I wasn't trying to slander AquaBob but that was objectively a spite episode and it played into that to it's own benefit and it worked out super well since it paid off by making Super Friends Aquaman prove his worth


The DB team intentionally took a fun idea that had an actual debate to it and made it glaze Koolaid man for no reason and have him die of a rainbow induced chest burst


It's like making fun of his drug addiction and heart disease at the exact same ******* time, I can't believe they were that ******* stupid
Love to see Machoaids slander.

I would also like to add that they took the wrong lessons from this episode as well. They should’ve walked away with “Ok this episode was unfunny, poorly researched, and failed at the emotional moment we were trying to set up for the season. We will do better next time.”.

But the DB crew walked away with “ Why do you guys hate it so much it was a joke episode! Now we will never do WWE characters in DB again because some crazy fans sent death threats. And that also goes with IRL characters as well.”

I still do this day believe it’s one of the worst episodes they made.

Taking the wrong lesson? Yeah they’re known to do that lmao. Remember that rant that was posted that had shit like “stop saying the animations have jank!” when people pointed out how weird the puppet animation looks and instances like cole “climbing” into the hole in the wall? How about instead of being upset people point it out, you instead work towards not having weird moments in your animations? Realize how no one has said that eggman vs bowser has jank? Because it doesn’t have any.
 
I can't help but feel like the views on death battle videos are just super underwhelming.

It doesn't really make sense to me. Powerscaling is more popular than it has ever been before in this era yet death battle episodes seemingly get way less views? Idk. Like Superman VS Goku 3 only getting 5 mil is wild works.

Meanwhile there are like random ah Tiktok and YT powerscaling edit shorts that get 10 mil views on the daily 😅

Well, I just hope death battle can really sustain itself. I honestly have no idea how they are making enough money outside of the fundraiser.

I suppose hype has something to do with this, and the hype for MUs like these have kinda died down over the years.

Tbf short content videos are much more popular in this day and age. 20 to 30 min vids would probably kill MFs with short attention spans 💀

Plus I feel views wise, it's pretty decent compare to the recent seasons. Best to give it time.

Yeah modern age seems to prefer short clips, pretty sure that SaitamaPopeye clip is now over 50 mil views, havent checked lol

Altho googling on YT sponsorship ads, they might make a lot? One source saying roughly 20-50 bucks for 1000 views. 1 million in a month could make 20 000, even limited wise 5000+ bucks for a succesfull vid. And then on top of YT's own ad revenue.

Most lilkely because short vids tend to have much more views in general. Nowadays, people rarely stay on the same thing long, the quickly machine gun through content.

I guess you can point to the years of discrediting for that, tho it's also true they aren't the only major channel that does this anymore. Currently what they have going for them the most is presentation
 
Random question: did they bring up Sonic Prime at any point during BowsEgg? Apparently that show's one of the main reasons why the verse gets wanked so much.
IIRC: when scaling the Chaos Emeralds to the speed at which Solaris destroyed the universe, one of the black boxes mentioned that the Emeralds should upscale from the Paradox Prism which destroyed the universe in 10 seconds.

Mentioned it in a blackbox for speed

I really don't see how Prime feats are "wanked" though, the feats in that show being Cosmic tier is pretty blatant.

Man, I'd have never expected a fight from an episode that turns four years old in December still has better fight choreography and animation compared to Omni Man vs Bardock.

And no, I don't grow tired of consistently ******** on the quality of OmniDock. No disrespect to DevilArtemis, but that episode was butt cheeks.
 


As someone looking back on Vic's situation (you probably have a vague idea why), and is constantly critical of the directorial decisions of DBa's casting choices, I'll just say this right now: Nicholas Andrew Louie is the perfect break point between Vic and JYB as far as Broly is concerned. All in pitch, tone and direction.

I know it's about 4 years late to give props, but bravo to the guy. He deserves it.

For whatever reason, "short-form" content tends to get more views than "long-form" content, and that's the case for almost every YouTuber out there.
