0. Ben Singer, Sam Mitchell, Sean Hinz and Chad James are the hosts

0.1. No Death Battle Cast for 2018 Dec 28.

1. Thanos VS Darkseid and Season 5

1.1. Galactus VS Unicron has still been a well-requested Death Battle matchup, just to be taken over by Thanos VS Darkseid since the movies of Justice League and the Avengers: Infinity War movie were out.

1.2. There are a lot of breakthroughs and "first" experiences for Death Battle Season 5:

1.2.1. The first time they throw out reality warpers which they tend to avoid. (And Sean was doing two of the three matchups.)

1.2.2. Ben was proud Death Battle Season 5 has covered many of the top 10% requested Death Battles. Except two: Leon Kennedy VS Frank West and Carnage VS Lucy.

1.2.3. JJBA, Fist of the North Star, Elfen Lied, Samurai Jack... lots of new franchises.

1.2.4. The first time Wizard and Boomstick appeared in animated Death Battle.

1.2.5. First live action Death Battle with Nightwing VS Daredevil.

1.2.6. The last days Torrian worked exclusively for Screwattack before passing the torch to Kristina, the first time the Unreal Engine boosted the graphics of 3D fights (as shown in Optimus Prime VS Gundam).

1.2.7. Music from Brandon Yates, Werewolf Therewolf and Omegasparx.

1.2.8. Mario VS Sonic (2018) and Thanos VS Darkseid

1.3. Thanos lost to Darkseid because Marvel usually has awesome "human" characters while DC usually has awesome "god" characters.

1.3.1. This is because back in the days of talking about 1930s, American comics are more like mythologies. (Marvel, DC and others they were all trying to make crazy characters.) However, Marvel always tried to add some more "human" elements to the characters besides giving the characters superpowers (Thor had times gone without superpowers and had times losing Mjolnir). DC has Batman and Green Arrow but most of their characters are more special or less realistic in certain ways - they do not really have many notable great Spider-Man-style characters.

1.3.2. Put it this way, DC does not have many notable characters that are "not overpowered". DC or Justice League has more notable "god" characters than Marvel or Avengers. DC started Justice League with Superman, where Marvel started the Avengers with Captain America and Iron Man, where a group of "not overpowered" superheroes team up and they could fight foes like the Hulk and Loki.

1.4. Screwattack considered True Form Darkseid as the final form or the core form of the Darkseid character (embodiment of feelings of anger and tyranny) and all avatar Darkseids are considered weapons. Destroying avatar Darkseid cannot be considered as defeating True Form Darkseid and therefore destroying the true Darkseid.

1.5. Should the Grant Morrison version of Darkseid be picked and based on as canon? And if Darkseid is that OP how can "inferior characters" like Doomsday defeat Darkseid?

1.5.1. There are different writers writing with the Darkseid character. One writer who wrote Doomsday defeating Darkseid was asked if Doomsday was that powerful. He responded no. And further stories revealed that the True Form Darkseid is overlooking the avatar Darkseid being defeated in other universes.

1.6. Why include Infinity Gauntlet if this does not give Thanos the win?

1.6.1. IG Thanos is picked because this is the Thanos people most remember and recognise. The Infinity Gauntlet is the most iconic weapon of Thanos.

1.6.2. He created the Infinity Gauntlet and used it with the Infinity Stones he collected most of the time.

1.6.3. Thanos gets screwed up quicker without the Infinity Gauntlet.

1.7. Thanos could control time and space, so why consider speed feats when comparing Thanos and Darkseid together?

1.7.1. Screwattack wants to examine everything - including scenario when Thanos is barred from having infinite speed or when his Infinity Gauntlet was disabled.

1.7.2. Death Battle is about examining all scenaria and finding the most probable outcome. So cases when Darkseid hampered Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet must be considered.

1.8. If Batman and Mister Miracle can escape the Omega Sanction, could Thanos just escape out from that?

1.8.1. This is just an animation. Thanos would have been as well wiped out by the Omega Beam.

1.8.2. Batman escaped by plot.

1.8.3. Mister Miracle has the Life Equation and the Mother Box.

1.8.4. In Death Battle, there are plenty of incineration and disintegration deaths and the animators want do something different for this matchup.

1.9. Why no Cosmic Cube? Why no Heart of the Univserse? Why no Soulfire?

1.9.1. Cosmic Cube has limitations and is not even as powerful as the Infinity Gauntlet.

1.9.2. Screwattack consider Heart of the Univserse and Soulfire one-time things and therefore non-canon.
