More thoughts on Death Battle kickstarter event

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, as of earlier this morning. Death Battle's kickstarter ended. They were kind enough to give us Gru vs Megamind, thank you guys so much. I know someone in particular going to be very happy about it. This is more or less my thoughts on the entire experience from how I see it.

They raised $737,470, a little better than expected. Sadly it seem after a few days, people weren't thrilled. A few match ups that made it into the upcoming seasons. I felt they did great selecting matches up to a point. Not criticizing Ruby vs Maka & Gru vs Megamind while saying that either. I wasn't happy about Aang coming back but it's technically a better match up.

I'm still not happy with his previous episode. Then again I never was a fan of that franchise. I don't necessary hate it either. I will say it's somewhat overrated to the point it kinda annoys me a bit. Of course, the one match up from Tournament of Champions going to happen now. I'm talking Hulk vs Godzilla, congratulations you just killed Hulk a third time.

I kept getting more information on both of them. I can safely say Hulk is ridiculous sure. But he just isn't Godzilla ridiculous. As previously stated, they might go the full composite route. Which ultimately makes Godzilla too much for him to handle. He's so broken it's not even a fight anymore. This doesn't even have anything to do with me liking Hulk more either.

I got to talk about Ash vs Yugi, a lot of us remembered people heavily into both franchises in schools. Despite Ash having a lot more confirmed experience, his show went over nearly three decades!!! I still strongly believe Yugi is going to win. They likely going to do a mixed duel style. We see half pokemon while half Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yugi would hold a lot of unfair advantages in this fight. He virtually has enough control over it despite having to pick a card often. The rules are much more complex in Yu-Gi-Oh!. Not only that the Pharaoh can directly send Ash's soul to another plain of existence. He even has the option to remove something of his opponent from the duel.

Which could be game changing depending on things. Ash isn't that bright either while Yugi knows his game well enough to win. Yugi could potentially use more monsters at one time than Ash too. Ash also has little to nothing he can do about trap cards. He also can't do anything about cards that revives dead monsters as well as a few that transforms em.

A good example of this is Toon World. Which transforms monsters into toon versions. All of a sudden, you start to see how unfair of a match up this actually is. Another important factor is Yugi also a Shonen character. Yes, this is very bad for Ash since him and his monsters are possibly on higher levels by default.

Now Mahito vs Shigaraki represents the end of My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen this year.

Mahito vs Shigaraki, I previously done a prediction blog on it. I still got some stuff to say though. Shigaraki is easily one of the best written Shonen villians I ever seen. Mahito almost comes off as a more twisted variation of the same character. But minus the relatable backstory that helps make him more likeable.

I know a lot of people are excited for it. Even those that doesn't quite know both characters. Mahito is easily the more evil villain hands down, see what I did there? Again I'm rooting for Shigaraki, he's a great character. This is more interesting to me than Denji vs Yuji, I got reasons. "It's amazing what hands can do!!!" LOL

Ruby vs Maka is a fight people waited a long time for. We finally get Ruby's entire team onto the show. RWBY show itself isn't great anymore. Soul Eater Not likely better than it now. Look I'm a big fan of Soul Eater, I already stated to be rooting for Maka. Depending on which version of Ruby, it's a stomp that differs who wins.

Personally, I love the concept of two students with unusual scythes fighting each other. We might even see some Kishins and Grimms during this fight. Which would be kinda cool to watch them get hunted while they're fighting each other. It's questionable if Ruby's voice actress could reprise her role for it.

Considering a different company now owns RWBY. I rather a new voice actress takes over, it would work even better. Obviously to better represent RWBY, it's going to be an 3D battle. This would be a great Halloween episode too. They can do so much with this fight. It could be easily better than the last few volumes of RWBY not sorry!!!

Gru vs Megamind, my opinion changed so much since Tournament of Champions. Now I really wanna see this fight happen. This is going to be easily one of the finest episodes of it's season. Yes it will be similar to fights like The Doctor vs Rick Sanchez and a few others. They also gotta do this in 3D to better present both characters.

It would be cool if their teams gets involved as well. They really could do so much with the concept. It's going to be possibly worth for a season finale. This is going to be a close fight. They love the voice actors sounds identical to who actually voiced em in things. This would be truly amazing to have that as well.

Gru vs Megamind virtually has everything it needs to be a great episode. I would say more of an anti-hero episode since both used to be villains. Redemption is on the line, only one going to win. You can tell I'm excited for it. Not the one match up I'm the happiest for though. It's up there no doubt, they are going to have a lot of fun with this.

To clarify, the one match up that got in this shorter season I'm very happy about. Eggman vs Bowser, it's going to be one of the greatest episodes!!! As for the next season we also raised money for. I'm really excited for Simon the Digger vs White Lantern. I felt both these seasons are going to be among the best they ever done!!!

I will be brutally honest, I was avoiding to talk about the bonus episode. I'm not that interested into what I considered more of a Not Death Battle fight. Speaking of Not Death Battle, they recently started a new poll for a fight to happen on their web show. I voted for Chris Redfield vs Golem, as in the pokemon the joke was simply too funny.

Back to Light vs Columbo, people just don't understand how different it's going to go. This isn't going to be a fight like most of them. This is more of a weird game of wits. Either Columbo takes Light out or he gets tricked into giving Light his name. Light can make a lot happen through writing it in the death note.

For me, it's more boring than The Boys Battle Royale to me. Even Raiden vs Excalibur was a more interesting bonus episode. Also that's for killing Wolverine lol, you knew it was coming. Honestly I strongly recommend rewatching SpongeBob vs Super Friends Aquaman, it's way better. For more it's the more boring match up to get into the show.

The only real positive thing I can truly say about it is well being a bonus episode. I don't have to hold it to the same standards as regular DB episodes. At the same time, I have no real reason to watch it either. I rather see the chaos that is Mahito vs Shigaraki than this!!! I'm very happy they raised enough episodes for next year's season to cover the year.

We don't know if some of those episodes going to get moved into 2026. They already confirmed Wile E. Coyote vs Tom Cat still happening. Obviously, that's the one episode I'm looking forward to the most. I voted it in damn it, I'll drop everything to watch it. I'm very sure this will be well worth the longer wait with the insane possibilities that could happen, anything is possible.
