Hey, peeps. As possibly one of the biggest Total Drama fans, I'm really questioning the Vs Battles Wiki's logic around Total Drama. I remember being 13 going on 14 back when I watched Total Drama; my favorite character back then was Leshawna. Thing is everyone's just misconstruing what the show itself had shown. Come on, everyone. If you can't just pick off low-ends and go from there, then you shouldn't pick off ridiculously-strong feats outside normal grounds and call it a day either. It's called "common sense." As a Total Drama veteran, I'll start this content revision off by linking to all the best feats I remember.: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/U...ause_That's_Apparently_Too_Much_For_A_Thread)
I've seen people claiming that Total Drama is in the Tier 7s, though that's just a bunch of high-cards people here pulled without taking into account what's truly consistent, which peaks at High 8-C. No, I did not arbitrarily pick these; I've found nothing within 8-B or 8-A, both tiers being completely necessary to call ANY OF THE TIER 7 STUFF consistent. A 1-tier gap is exactly one of the characteristics that made Master Roshi's moon-busting feat an outlier. C'mon.
Now, here's the things people claimed were Tier 7.
(Zombie) Ezekiel Being Blasted Out of a Volcano
It's true that volcanic eruptions, just like normal explosions, push. Thing is, the volcanic eruption here takes on the form of the comical eruption: a clear blast upwards with no sign of expansion. Volcanoes are huge gaping holes in the earth, yes, but if one actually takes the nature of the eruption, regardless of whether Ezekiel was in point blank or not, the largely-directional nature means Ezekiel took a very small fraction (which is lessened by Ezekiel's upright position in the volcano) of what the volcano was capable of (if he got the full force, he'd be in space because physics), which is more apparent when Ezekiel was shown to be one of the first things to fall out of the sky. Whatever part of the eruption got, Ezekiel should get at the very least 9-A for sure from the sinking of Chris's boat. Thing is Ezekiel never went to space from that, so it's unlikely for Ezekiel to be any more powerful than 8-B (judging purely of Earth's escape velocity and assuming 60 kg for Zeke, of course).
Not only did Ezekiel not get enough push (because pressure = force over area), but also there are plenty of signs that it was played for a gag. The signs of it being completely a gag are the idea of a PINEAPPLE being the cause of the eruption (when real eruptions don't work that way), and super obvious "no pineapples allowed" sign, and the whole Lord of the Rings deal.
Also, side note, nobody would scale from the quake because, let's face it, I wouldn't give a person Tier 7 for surviving an earthquake.
As an extra side note, before you mention anything about lava flow, that's a completely timely thing. Kilauea let out 113.5*10^6 cubic meters of lava over a period of two months, which is about 21.89 cubic meters per second. Alejandro taking the lava flow is best judged by the volume of all that ran over him.
Izzy "Chatterboxing" About Taking Nukes
Izzy's portrayed as that character who is crazy in a sense that nobody even understands what she's even talking about. I don't think you should take any of her statements seriously; in fact, when actually asked if anything she said was true in her first elimination episode, Izzy replied "Nope, just the RCMP part." Yeah, don't take anything Izzy's saying seriously; she's as crazy as a barrel full of monkeys.
Owen Causing Earthquakes..? Where are People Coming Up With This Stuff?
Now who brought that up? Bringing this up again, Total Drama is entirely done on camera except for Mike's mind sequences, and video editing tricks are ubiquitous. Chances are that's a gag feat entirely. Even if it wasn't, unless you know the signs of an actual earthquake (or whatever is related to them since building dams was an activity that caused similar results), chances are that's probably just a screen shake effect, and I've yet to see literally anyone properly handle screen shakes. Even if that actually had quakelike effects, range should seriously be taken into consideration because I doubt that's anything close to a real, natural quake.
The Sinking of the Island (I Kinda Get This, But I Don't At The Same Time)
Okay, that was caused by an oil drill Chris had installed. I've personally analyzed this scene long ago when Christine Thompson and I used to regularly chat with one another fan-to-producer. Judging by the size of the island (as Cameron had commented on) and the nature of the cause (injection), that is basically a manmade sinkhole. Well, the island isn't exactly small. It's cliff was directly stated to be 1000 feet (304.8 meters) high, and using proportionate sizing, the island is most likely 1 kilometer in diameter. At least it was that wide last time I measured the island myself.
This is indeed Tier 7... That is if anyone actually got hit by the island itself. Here's the thing. Despite the sinking being caused by a manmade sinkhole, the island's sinking resulted in a very centralized splash. Problem is nobody knows where exactly the drill was in the island. That's not to mention that the downwards motion means whoever was on the island would only be taking a hit from the island's resulting splash (which is a rebound) rather than the island itself. Even that's a hard press because water's less dense than rock, not to mention it tends to spread due to its liquid nature, so it's just the same deal of "considering pressure means they only take a small bit of the force" case. A 1-kilometer circle means whatever fraction that was is really going to downplay this whole thing a lot.
Speed
Not going to take any of the speed feats into consideration because dealing with that should be a simple matter of knowing how to split up the five categories of speed. That and I'm getting tired (I'm a night owl). So yeah, there you have it.
