My thoughts on Death Battle

 My thoughts on Death Battle 


I like the concept of Death Battle despite it not being new. Death Battle is a web series created by Screwattack.com, that put two characters from comic books, manga, movies and video games against each other in the battle to the death. This is similar to celebrity deathmatch but not as bloody. Sometimes they mix it up by doing four-way fights and live-action fights. We talk about wanting to see certain characters fight it's just that we couldn't play it out until now.

I first learned about this thought everyone talking about the fight between Superman and Goku. I enjoyed the fight it looks like the people behind it put a lot of work into it. With that said that doesn’t change the fact that people were not happy with the outcome of this fight. I had a feeling that Superman would win that fight because it seems like the creators were overcompensating Goku by giving him senzu beans, the power pole and having him go super saiyan 4 despite it not being canon last I checked. That’s one of the problems I have with that fight Goku cheated by taking a senzu bean. 

To be fair this is an issue I have with these fights I mean they give a character all different abilities from different sources. The end result of the fight between Superman and Goku bothered people so much that they want a rematch. The rematch was worse even with better graphics. That’s another thing that bugs me about this series it seems like the people behind it don’t put as much time or care in most of these fights as they did with the Goku vs Superman fight, I mean that fight felt like an event. 

I don’t know if this started it, but people are losing interest in this series because they think the people behind this show are bias. I can understand why because I do notice that. For example, the fight between Thanos vs Darkside they gave Thanos an unfair advantage by giving him the infinity gauntlet. I wasn’t crazy about the Mario vs Sonic fight because it wasn’t a fair fight. I understand why the creators would put these two against each other but that doesn’t make it a good idea. So, let me get this straight Batman can’t beat Spider-Man but he can beat Captain American what the fudge? I didn’t know my little or pretty pony can put up a fight against Marvel and DC characters. That would explain why boys are watching this series. So yeah, I can understand why this would bother people about this series. I know we have substitutes for death battle like one-minute melee and DBX but they don’t do it for me. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with those alternatives, but I like how death battle directs their fights for the most part. 

Overall, Death Battle has been around for ten years and this series can do more to make it better.
