I've never watched, but the discussions i see about the results let me know I wouldnt enjoy them anyway. They always have a tangentially relevant matchup, and asinine reason why the clear victor can't go all out.

I feel like they have an agenda to who wins as opposed to giving their real thoughts, also they're just so long now and even more recently I hate the animations of the narrators

The cinematics are cool though

My favorite was Robocop vs The Terminator. Robocop basically ran away with the victory because of all the stupid bullshit powers he had in Robocop 3.

When Stan Lee was asked who would win Ironman or Captain America, he responded "Whoever the writer wants to see win.". It's the same with Death Battles, just take what they say with a grain of salt.

My favorite was Kirby vs Majinn Buu

DBZ fans used to mald over losing to Kirby, but these days people typically see him as the god killer he is.

This. They logic Goku's speed to have stayed the same since the saiyan saga and never improved.

They logic Link is allowed to use his full arsenal of tools he gets throughout his series but Cloud can't use any Materia.

Enjoy them for the cool fight scenes but never take their reason for X to beat Y seriously.

The baseline logic made sense for this one, even if it is solely do to writers having no fucking sense of scale and throwing out a number that sounds cool. Having a fight in a unit of Planck time is more or less Za Warudo.

That being said, I don't know the context of how that fight with Ares happened. Did Thor just up and get into that fight, no help from anyone?

It's not even like I need my favorite to win or anything, I would just like to not know who wins via context alone. It's like, oh a new Thor movie is coming out, oh Thor is in a new Death Battle, oh they are heavily sponsored and want views, I wonder who's gonna win? Could it possibly be... Thor?

Akuma vs Shao Khan pissed me off

I feel like they really gimped Akuma. I dont think they ever brought up the fact that he fought Asura for 500 years until they came to a stalemate. And scaled him to a literal god killer.

Also, didnt Shao Kahn die in cutscenes to basic ass attacks on a few occasions?

I like them alright, though I just watch for the animations these days. The analysis parts are always nonsense even when they do have the right character win, so I started skipping them.

Link gets the goddamn legendary sword of evil's bane and Cloud gets... the sword he started the game with. He should have had the Ultima Weapon or the First Tsurugi.

They did remake it to give them both a full arsenal, in a criticism of their original video, if you secretly still care.

The problem is that since they pull from so many sources, there are bound to be knowledge blindspots. Like Android 18 being able to absorb energy when that is intentionally a feature her and 17 dont have. I hear their understanding on Bleach characters is pretty bad too.

Then theres this tendency to rate speed based on dodging things, but NOT taking into account how characters can predict attacks. This character dodged lightning/a laser beam! So they are super fast!. No, they saw a dude aim a weapon and preemptively evaded.

And lastly. Their matchups are just shit lately. Who the hell put Korra against Storm? Why the constant Marvel/DC characters?

The fights arent bad. People itt are constantly bringing up Cloud vs Link as if they didnt go back and correct their amateur errors (tho the Sonic vs Mario rematch takes them back to stupid again). The real issues lie with bs like comic characters who have BS feats and are inconsistent being choosen.

When normal characters that dont have a million continuities are chosen, you get great battles like Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher.

Yeah the biggest issue is when they choose two characters that seem similar in someway, but in reality one is like "Hi! I hard counter literally everything you can throw at me!" and they have to pretend it's going to be a close fight until the inevitable end comes.
