Just wanna say to anyone reading this?

If you are trans or just identify under different pronouns?

I apologize if you see people like this in this community. You deserve to be treated just like any other human being. Even if you are having a bad day and are a bit rude to a person, that doesn’t give anyone an excuse to misgender you.

Keep your chin up.

“Homelander put up way more of a fight against Omni-Man than he did in the shows finale”

While I do think the final battle should have gone on a BITTT longer, Homelander has consistently shown to NEVER be a good fighter. Relying on his powers to intimidate and overpower people.

Yes he did more damage to Omni Man than he did to Ryan and Butcher, you know why? Butcher and Ryan aren’t viltrumites. Homelander did jaxk and shit to Omni Man with the exception of his laser vision(and only when he targeted the eyes mind you) and with his sonic scream, exploiting a direct weakness all Viltrumites have.

He doesn’t have that luxury fighting people relatively equal to him

“homelander went out like a bitch in the show”

Yes. As he should.

Without his powers Homelander is fucking nothing. This has been well established multiple points in the show.

“He would never get down on his knees and beg for his life!”

….did we watch the same show? Or observe the same character? Homelander is and always has been a whiny man child, the ONLY authority he has over people is his powers. Without them? He has nothing. This is the same Mfer who’s main rival in Season 1 was stillwell’s baby, an ACTUAL INFANT.

It is 1000% in character for him to beg for his life like an entitled brat because that’s all he is deep down just like A-Train said.

Finally. At the end of the day, death battle is a vs show that wants to give us a good story, a good fight and a satisfying death. It’s also important to note that Omnilander also came out during the time The Boys was in its 2nd Season iirc.

Overall. Imo, both deaths fit their respective shows thematically.

That is where you’ve always been wrong about me Death Battle Community! I don’t have sources on ANYTHING!

I cope, I-I get scared, I wake up every morning and despite all the slander, I put up one agenda post after another and try to root for Denji the best I can!

I screw up all the time but that is being Denjipilled, and that’s why it’s so based.

Anyway watch Kamen Rider Geats(and maybe Ex-Aid) and play Fate Extra cowards.

But yeah very good review, only things I disagree with him on is the pre analysis being underwhelming(Which is a fair opinion to have but I still enjoy them well enough and I think they do a serviceable job) and Despicable Minds being a good track.

No Death Battle Community, just because Grumind fell below expectations that does not mean you should be paranoid about every highly anticipated episode being good or not.

Or are we just gonna ignore the existence of: Bowsegg, Billcord, Colex(aside from the analysis), SauronKing, Kylemon(my bad forgot that apparenrly that’s a bad episode now) AshYugi, TomWile(this too), etc

Death Battle has SO MANY anime series that haven’t been on the show yet(or they HAVE been on but it’s just been a hot minute) I highly doubt people would be complaining AS much about anime being used if they just SPICED IT UP.

For starters, people have talked about how Death Battle say they use characters “at their best,” but then they go onto say Death Battle used anti feats for Megamind to justify why he supposedly wouldnt use certain equipment effectively, their example for why he wouldn’t abuse the Dehydration Gun or similar tech basically comes down to “well he doesn’t always do it,”

That is not what they said.

Let me elaborate.

So what i mean isn’t stats, I actually disagree where they put Megamind speed wise, it’s the whole “megamind wouldn’t use certain equipment effectively”

When the show says “putting characters ar their best” they mean they are given their best stats and equipment.

That has nothing to do with personality.

Let me quote a black box from the episode.

—

Popup: A Death Battle assumes each combatant has winning intent, so Megamind's reluctance to use his deadlier weaponry is negligible on its own. However, his continued laxness versus Gru's consistent successes suggests Gru is more practical.

—

THEY OUTRIGHT SAID, that Megamind’s reluctance to use weaponry doesn’t matter on its own, but his consistent laxness to use it is more consistently to how he’s portrayed.

Megamind is(unfortunately thanks to the show) portrayed more consistently as someone who doesn’t use his instant win button right away.

Death Battle putting characters at their best does not mean “ignoring characters flaws/weaknesses” Megamind DOES have weaknesses:

-He’s a bit overly boastful

-He’s sometimes cocky

-He needs time to plan things out

Etc

Here let me quote something else they said

Wiz: Both Gru and Megamind have their share of less-than-genius moments and bad luck, but even in the face of things gone wrong, Gru tends to... fail upwards, still ultimately completing his missions, unlike Megamind, who tends to fail
much harder before he learns how to succeed.

They did not “give Megamind an anti feat” they judged how he acts most consistently in his.

Think about it, even in the original movie he:

-Doesn’t even consider using his De-Gun on Tighten himself. There’s no evidence to suggest he’s immune to it so why doesn’t he use it?

-Roxanne outright has to REMIND HIM where the de fuser gun is.

Etc.

—-

“Wiz: Who also has a bad habit of not using his weapon effectively, like never using the De-Gun against the Doom Syndicate, either because he can get easily flustered, or he just loves showing off. So, it's more likely Gru could succeed in a "whoever shoots first wins" quick-draw situation with their arsenals.”

They never said megamind isn’t likely to use it EVER it’s just that Gru is more likely to go for his one shot options first.

Think about it, what is the FIRST thing Gru tries in almost every encounter with a new threat.

Freeze Ray.

Anyway disagree with the result all you want but I wanted to clear up a common misconception I’ve seen regarding the whole “death battle takes characters at their peak” thing.

Disagree with the scaling(I outright do too) but the “taking characters at their peak” thing does not mean “ignoring character flaws and personality traits.”
