Hey, just wanted to ask a question since I know before the Death Battle was posted, you're one of the sane ones I remember best. I was thinking of making a blog in regards to my thoughts about Goku losing, and no its not a rant, if it was, I'd join the many butthurt fanatics in the comments lol. I mean more of like something that regardless of what was shown, the video was just for entertainment and should not disregard the legacy of Goku's strength and feats of his character. In short, my childhood was not damaged by the video lol. Your thoughts?
Odakicity: Yeah they'd laugh it off and walk into the sunset.
HSRW101: Actually regarding the Marvel point, I remember learning that they did pit DC against Marvel in an event comic and they had Superman fighting the Hulk instead, though Superman did win that one.
And I agree, that's my entire point for it, yeah I am disappointed that Goku lost, but what they said at the end how the characters are in their own way and purpose, truly shows the respect for the characters, and that's all that needed to be said. And pretty much it is how Superman would beat Goku if they did fight to the death, Goku always had to overcome obstacles because that's his character and drive for the series. Whereas Superman is a representation of hope who care for everyone, no matter the situation. (Unlike in Superman Grounded, particularly #701 he preaches so much that it doesn't make sense and its insulting to the reader and his character). Its pretty much a conflict of narratives, in terms of power, yeah, in a sense it would be one sided. But in terms of character, they're pretty even.
Its funny how people are saying the DBZ fans are the worst so far, well from MY experience before the vid was posted, I can it goes for both sides. Even when I had my question answered by Wiz in regards for the usage of All-Star Superman, random Superman fans kept telling me that my points were invalid and stupid and that I was biased. Hell, one of them even got a MAJOR plot point wrong about All-Star Superman. I trumped his ass good lol.
But anyway, my intention was this. Ever since the 1990's, Goku was always my hero that I grew up with, as much as Superman was for other people. And regardless of what happened in Death Battle, its just for entertainment and created by fan debates, so if anything, the fans created the fight themselves, (honestly never cared about who was better) but despite the points made, to me, Goku will always be the best, encouraging others to become stronger, defending everyone even when the odds are against him, and that even optimism is all a person needs to get through the darkest of times. His legacy as a character is much more influential than any video about him fighting Superman can ever say against him. It should never matter who is number one, its his influence, morality and courage that will always make Goku one of the greatest heroes of our time.
Plus I know a comic that shows the true outcome if the 2 were kept in character =p

Odakicity: Well I appreciate the fact that you consider me "Sane" lol. Well to be fair Superman is meant to be the Ultimate Hero/Lifeform, and a modern day messiah (just with tight spandex and awesome hair) And despite the fact that Goku is a badass, Superman is just too much for anyone, Even Marvel's closest match for him (Thor) probably wouldn't beat Superman either. But let's boil it down to your main point, It is first and foremost for entertainment value, fun, and to be brutally honest, (even though I'm probably the most guilty of what I'm about to say.) we need to stop worrying about which fictional character is the most Badass. and focus on just having fun and enjoying them based on their own individual merits. Every character that has appeared on Death Battle, is clearly insanely powerful and awesome, (Obviously that doesn't include Rebecca Black and Justin Beiber, although that battle was funny as hell.) and shouldn't be regarded as any less awesome because they lost a fight, No matter how tough you are there's always someone tougher. (Obviously that doesn't include Chuck Norris. LOL)
Also when you think about it it, Goku and Superman fight for the same thing anyway, so why are we pitting them against each other anyway?
Anyway, yeah I was planning on making a video directed at angry fanboys, (From both sides.) that it doesn't matter who won, and that regardless of the result we should be thankful to Ben, Chad and Lange for the hard work they put in. So I think its a good idea to make the blog. Good luck writing it. If you wan't any help you know where to find me.

What sets the Wii apart from the others is the way they prove that HD graphics doesn't matter. They can make a good looking game with great gameplay. While the controls were gimmicky, and funny, they worked.
Favorite games - New Super mario Bros. Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Donkey Kong Returns, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, and Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2.
Good Luck with your assignment!

I think the Wii had some great ideas with the motion controls. Sure some games if not most felt a bit gimmicky but games like Super Mario Galazy showed that with gameplay in mind could provide some great experiences..
Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Brawl, Punch Out!, Epic Mickey.
