    The ending. It feels like they are aware of the rules of Death Battle. That regardless of if they want to or not, they HAVE to fight to the death and they can't do a thing to stop it. I think its the first time a character has become aware of the function of the show without it being used for comedy, and I'm a huge fan of it.

    What I love about the last few seasons of Death Battle is that instead of focusing on just making the battles longer or flashier or with better graphics, they're focusing on making the combatants true to both the characterization and the themes of their source material, and finding the areas of common ground between the two to compare their similarities and contrast their differences. It feels like the series has become so much more mature, while staying true to its colorful, flamboyant and action-packed roots.

    This was perhaps the most existential Death Battle ever. Not only did they both acknowledge that they were being forced to fight and ponder why, they're both near infinitely powerful beings with great cosmic and philosophical knowledge who had lost their entire civilization. It was going to be a bitter victory no matter who won. And it was a total love letter to these characters. Amazing job.

Yeah, you could ask where he was, but then he was General Swanwick helping out the best he could to fight the Kryptonians and send them back into the Phantom Zone. He was hesitant to launch a nuke to Superman and Doomsday.
      But then, he didn't do anything as the story wasn't even finished yet.

    The voice acting in this was incredible. When SS hit MM with the beam that would ultimately kill him, you could really feel the pain in MM's voice. And the somber acceptance that MM would not win, and then choosing to leave SS with kind words despite knowing that with him, the martians die out for good, was such a chilling conclusion. This has to be one of my favorite battles of all time, if only for that final dialogue they had within the heart of the star.

    It is genuinely fascinating to watch the Surfer and the Manhunter realize at the same time they were fighting solely for the fight. When their minds connected, they shattered the 4th wall and saw that this was exactly what it says on the tin: a Death Battle, a fight they *must* fight even if they don't want to. Of all the incredibly powerful beings that have battled on this show, these are the only two(who are not inherently aware of the 4th wall by concept ala Deadpool)that would end up in a scenario like this and acknowledge it, that was a really nice touch.

    Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer are both insanely powerful. They, however, are both hyper-aware of just how powerful they are, and are both intensely intelligent, so they would question the very purpose of them fighting each other, just as WizardLizard has already pointed out. However, I wouldn't rule out them wanting to spar in order to find each other's limits (or even if they HAD limits...which they may not!). I feel that they'd try to hold back in order to keep from destroying the entire universe.

    • @dark7element
      @dark7element Před 6 měsíci +5

      This is a good fight because Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer are absurdly powerful but actually *more limited* than a lot of these high-level comic character throwdowns, in the sense that they cannot rewrite reality itself, yank people's souls out, or other metaphysical nonsense that got pulled out with the likes of Zatanna, Raven/Phoenix, Dr. Strange/Fate, etc. Manhunter and Silver Surfer are limited to one reality, one dimension. They can smash planets and endure impossible forces but they stop short of going full Calvinball.

    Something that strikes me in this fight is how, in the final exchange between Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer, they both acknowledge that they have no real reason to fight but need to anyways for reasons they don’t know, with Silver Surfer even commenting that he “may never know why they were made to fight” and that he didn’t want it to end like it did in the first place.
    I take it as one of the few instances that shows that Wiz and Boomstick did simulate this fight, and that these two were the only combatants in the show thus far that were cosmically aware and enlightened enough to just barely be able to yet not quite recognize that fact, where only fourth wall breakers have been able to before in the shows history.

    I'm glad that they realized that the only way to justify these two fighting is to have them not know why they're fighting. In a lot of cases, the hero vs hero battles are a bit forced, especially since most heroes don't straight-up kill people. This battle straight-up says, "Yeah, there's no real reason why they're fighting all-out to the death. We aren't even going to try to justify it with some convoluted scenario." Which is how it should be in this case, since these two deserve that respect.

Also I feel like from what comics I've read, it's a very simplified generalization of the two characters so they can't be as in depth as they could be or would like to be when comparing two characters. Also Ive seen you say that mm would good against vision, and id disagree and say he'd be great against red tornado. But that's just me. Also, there's only so much comparisons they can do when talking them both up without making it blatantly obvious ones getting curbstomped. Unless it was like the spongebob Aquaman fight when they said it At the end of the analysis for Aquaman.

    This, along with some of the preamble of GalactusVSUnicron and the scenario/ending of DiscordVSCipher is some of my absolute favourite death battle content.
    I like the way the questioning of the ethics/purpose of death battle being justified or not is brought up and implicated as another source of Unicron's power.
    I love how both this fight and the Discord one they had the loser win in a way, though here it's more them finding kinship in their shared fate of being pitted against eachother, which really is a horrifying concept. Trapped together in a pocket dimension and made to fight someone you don't even know to the death, and lacking the 4th wall abilities that has so far proven the only way to escape it really is a grim fate. It's essentially making the premise of the show the antagonist.
