Death Battle Season Ten Discussion Thread (1) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

[TUHTPeaSkull12]

Man, DB is making me snore with these matchups lately, everything after Vaderbito is so mid. This season definitely ain’t topping Season 9 or even 8.

You just said that guts vs Dimitri is average...damn I thought you would have good taste (joke).

Yeah raven vs Phoenix and MMH vs SS is no big deal, but I'd rather take it as "Mu to win enough visits) in case guts vs Dimitri doesn't do so well.

 

[Loh67867]

Also, next time sucks but Piccolo's free ig, at least that's something good

 

[TheGatememer]

There are some nitpicks I have about the analysis, but I wasn't surprised with what they went with

Dmitri VS Guts is actually better than Vaderbito, it’s just the matchup itself leaves much to be desired. W for Fire Emblem fans for their long overdue episode though!

We now know 10 eps out of 16.

Guessing what we are missing from cipher teaser:

• Skulls
• Recycle
• Judge scale
• Suits
• Pentagram

We once again have problem of multi-fitters. MMvsSS could be wave or star, thus making StitchRocket Wave or beaker.

So beaker might be missing one, but who knows yet.

Spoiler: Guts vs Dimitri spoilers

Okay so...

+God's Hand is up with Change x Of x Heart and Fireborn as my favorite tracks this season
+Loved the ending
+Actually got hyped at Dimitri going Awaken and Guts going into the Berserker armor - probably the highlight this episode to me
-Felt rushed midway and into the kill - Really I think they could've did more build up into Guts going into the Berserker Armor since outside of being a human lightning rod and being near his own explosions, it felt that he didn't take as much damage as I felt he could have
-Minor jank - Guts' mouth not moving when one of the lightning bolts hit him mostly for example

Alright whats the next ti-
oh... I'm already bored...

And despite never playing any Fire Emblem game outside of Awakening (before my DS got broken) - Dimitri is probably my second favorite character this season so far under Misaka thanks to the story background analysis.

So overall
1. Killua vs Misaka | Guts vs Dimitri
2. Dragonborn vs Chosen Undead
3. Darth Vader vs Obito
4. Rocket vs Stitch | Ant-Man vs Atom
5. Phoenix vs Raven

ChosenBorn
DarthBito
GutMitri
Stithrocket are my favs

ISPOILER] A Guts L and Vader L being sandwiched between 2 unnecessary capeshit episodes really makes me irrationally sour. Am I being petty that I don’t love these otherwise phenomenal 3d episodesas much as I should objectively because the character I personally prefer lose? It’s not Season 7 levels of bad just yet but I’m just tired, but I have to keep chugging along to see Billcord which will be peak.[/ISPOILER]

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

hopeful for next time even though the MU is kinda meh. Maybe they’ll beat expectations

 

[TMaakkonen]

If they dont do the jobbing mind reading AAAAAAAA moment for next time they have failed.

Spoiler: A kinda black guy vs the Welsh

Just saw the fight. While I'm glad that Dimitri won, I have... opinions on the animation as a whole. Likely unpopular ones, in fact.

Might make it a Substack article when I get the chance to gather my thoughts. Stay tuned.

Oof that title

So some people are saying MMH got over his fear of fire or something, dunno how true that is.

 

[Deidalius]

I liked the episode a lot. I could only watch it through illegitimate means, so it was very low quality for me, but I am sure it will look great once it releases on YouTube. The fight was cool, the analysis was cool, the music was forgettable, not bad but rather mediocre. I don't think Brandon is capable of making an unlistenable song, just mediocre songs and good ones. The fight animation had some issues, but it was very good. The verdict was good too. I must say that I am excited for the next time. Silver Surfer is a guy I loved ever since Fox made Fantastic Four movies. He's badass. Martian Manhunter exists I guess.

That weakness is tied to his race, he definitely hasn't gotten over it.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

That sounds bad out context

 

[NikHelton]

****, its fake fanmade break my heart

I managed to be happy as a little pussy, and then I came here and realized what a boring shit is waiting for us

Not even surprised at this point

MMH is a Chad, for these things I want him to win tbh.

It doesn't matter enough SS lol.

Doesn't help either that I'm more of a DC guy than a Marvel guy.

 

[Lord_Farquaad69420]

Tbf, I believe the fire weakness was always a mental one, not physical. ANd iirc in new 52 it was retconned to magic fire, though I could be wrong

 

[Loh67867]

Ok, I remember joking about no one actually unironically liking MMH in this thread but after this panel I take my words back, he seems like a chad in this one

He stands no chance against a clean burning fuel!

What comic is that mmh scan from?

Spoiler: Next Time

Wait, in Blackest Night #2, didn't Hal and Barry state that Jon still has the same fire weakness?

 

[StekFence]

Well, it does say 20,000 years later in that scan

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

J'onn's weakness has always been a Depends on the Writer thing. Though we gotta keep in mind DB completely disregarded Zatanna's verbal weakness based on a single scan, so J'onn should logically get the same treatment.

JLA #84

Relevance?

 

[TUHTPeaSkull12]

The consistency of weaknesses in comics is as consistent as powers, some are rarely maintained for long stretches, until they have to be eliminated for plot convenience.

 

[RiloKileyFan]

Fight was OK, nothing much to say, track didn't sound better with the fight going on, some awkward animation

Guts vs Nightmare was 10x better.

Next time is super boring, but I understand why they're doing it, It's a decently requested casual fight, but good lord spread them out.

 

[StekFence]

without any context, it appears to me that him conquering his pyrophobia is something that happens 20,000 years later. And so wouldn’t apply to his past self during blackest night

Them doing the Zatanna thing while disregarding a similar statement from Wanda about her weakness, will never not bug me tbh

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

The comic started with a flashback to some tragic event that happened 20,000 years ago, and the timeskip was a jump to modern day.

Apparently he's still vulnerable to flames of "psychic significance", which means flames of suffering, passion, or love, but random fire won't do the trick.

And they said me sticking to IDW Sonic made me weird...

The ending half of this fight was legitimately better choreographed than Guts vs Dimitri coming out the same day don't @ me.

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Spoiler: Next time

I won’t bet against the Power Cosmic but MM might end up winning solely due to his mindhax. That shit’s nutty.

No the **** it wasn't the fight screams just ok at best

This fight while far from perfect is far more solid
