User blog:AdamGregory03/Suggesting Non-Fighters

Hello everyone. AdamGregory03 here. Today I'll be talking about a small issue among the Death Battle Community that, at first didn't irk me, but now is something I can see getting out of hand. Suggesting battles with non-combat based characters. Examples include Homer Simpson vs. Peter Griffin, an Ed, Edd', n' Eddy battle royale, and (I know this is hypocritical considering I want to see them do this) Garfield vs. Snoopy.

First off, if you want to see Homer Simpson vs. Peter Griffin, that's already covered.

Second, I can actually see some of these episodes become joke fights, like with Justin Bieber vs. Rebecca Black or the upcoming Smokey the Bear vs. McGruff the Crime Dog. These work as joke fights because there's really not much to go off of in terms of weaponry, armor, and skill for both fighters. But the problem is when people want to see these match-ups as legitimate Death Battles. And don't get me wrong, everyone's gonna have different wishlists and opinions, I know that. But to be a legitimate Death Battle and not a joke episode, the characters they're covering have to be capable of the second half of the show's title.

Oh, you just think cartoon characters can't be featured, do you?

...Toph Beifong, Bucky O'Hare.... Besides, there are lots of cartoon characters I'd like to see in an episode of Death Battle. Kim Possible, Garnet from Steven Universe, Ben Tennyson, just to name a few. (And of course, I'm still holding out for the Bugs Bunny vs. Mickey Mouse season finale.) But those characters I mentioned all have their own weapons and combat abilities that would allow them a fair analysis in a legitimae episode of Death Battle. Characters like Garfield don't, so the only way he would be featured in a Death Battle is through a joke episode.

I hope this cleared a few things up.
