There's a lot of reasons why fans are likely to complain and as I said, it just brings out a lot of toxic behaviour most of the time; but I personally think at least the core of it comes down to fans believing that the character they support has not been done nay justice.<br /><br />Yeah, i'll freely admit I only took the time to watch two or three of ScrewAttack's fights, but each time it seemed to be the same. They were well made, had good production values, but were backed by some of the worst reasoning I think i've ever seen. Much of it was questionable at best, and that would be fine were it intending to be a direct parody of Deadliest Warrior. The problem is that there's nothing here to suggest that's the case, and most of this seems to have them treating their outcomes as fair, well researched and just. At least when the Spoony Experiment did the same thing they came out and openly said afterwards that they were intentionally making it unfair, specifically to mock the whole idea of such shows. The examples you give of the Death Battle show screwing up are bad enough and show some incredibly poor reasoning, but it only gets worse given just how many times they keep breaking their own rules.<br /><br />That i'll definitely agree with to a point, explaining and outlining how each character represents a different approach or way of thinking is fine. The problem in this case is it came off as ScrewAttack trying to just get everyone to accept their complete game-changing and abandoning all prior research to declare Superman infinitely powerful and capable of killing everything. It was dressed up, but somehow that honestly made it all the more insulting in some respects, at least to me personally.Bellariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652722543111095280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-64456238445682445882015-07-30T04:54:59.847+01:002015-07-30T04:54:59.847+01:00I do agree that they really shouldn't fight ea...I do agree that they really shouldn't fight each other, partially for the reasons you give here but that's because I agree in that it doesn't matter. So Superman beats Goku... Good for him. If the reverse is true, well then good for Goku. Why is this such a big issue?<br /><br />I also completely agree that Screwattack is really biased, personally I never watched the Starscream vs Rainbowdash because that's a fight that should be over in a few seconds, not something to actually be considered, especially if you look at Starscream when he was at his most powerful (and even at his weakest he should crush Rainbowdash), when he literally became the size of a planet and they needed another planet sized transformer (one they literally view as a god) to even take him on.<br /><br />If the above examples you give aren't enough you just need to look at their Toph vs Gaara battle. Now Toph, minus her ability to move Earth, is a normal blind human. With her abilities she is able to somewhat see by sensing vibrations in the Earth, Gaara on the other hand is a superhuman who moves at the speed of sound (or higher), can lift hundreds more than a regular person, and he took an explosion from a miniature nuke which only knocked him unconscious, as well as being able to fight for days straight without becoming fatigued.<br /><br />So who do they have win? Toph of course. This fight was one that should have ended in less than five seconds, Gaara can manipulate sand and fire it like a bullet, meaning at or above the speed of sound, it should be literally impossible for Toph to react other than dropping dead from the hole in her skull because comparing anyone in Naruto to a regular person is a bad idea when even some of the children can go faster than a regular eye can see. Not to mention they have her win because Gaara somehow becomes tired after only a few minutes and decided to use an ability he stopped using several years prior to the version they decided to use, as well as making Toph gain superhuman abilities.<br /><br />They also had another ridiculous win in their Nightmare vs Guts battle, their reasoning for Guts winning is because he always wins against monsters and gods way above him, so he'll win here too of course. Now I'm not saying that Guts should have lost, I'm saying that kind of reasoning was really stupid.<br /><br />I will say that I liked their reasoning on how Superman and Goku were different and why they should be looked at differently, but that's about it.<br /><br />Having a crossover though with the two characters could be pretty cool, especially since they do have different abilities and resistances that would have helped them depending on who they're up against, and it would show that they're both really neat/powerful characters in their own right.grdaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722216755745063033noreply@blogger.com
