User blog:Notatruename/Nota's Terrible Season 4 Review

I did say I was going to do one of these in a comment no one saw at one point, didn't I? So here it is. I'll be rating the episodes out of 5, based around the Analysis, Result, and Fight. If you like these episodes, thats fine. These are just my opinions. Without no further delay, here's my Death Battle Season 4 review. 

If you are reading this sentence, this blog is currently a WIP 

Pros
-Some good character details in the background for both characters

-The Stairway to Heaven joke

-Boomstick hitting on women in the analysis will never not be funny

-Nate's theme is always great to hear in anything

-Decent choreography and voice acting

-Music choice was good

-"Hmmmm...Not a scratch" 

Cons
-This is more directed towards Tomb Raider's writers than DB, but that destroying a helicopter with a climbing axe nonsense

-All kinds of silly writing and animation errors in the fight, such as: -Stomp Battle Episode 1: The Phantom Menace 
 * Why did Nate have red hair in the animation, when he's normal brown haired
 * Some slow-mo sections
 * This scene and all of the scientific rules and basic logic it defies
 * The finisher

Summary
<p style="font-weight:400;">Honestly, this was weak considering this was the season premiere. Although the analysis and research where good, even if Lara has most categories, the fight was why many people dislike this episode. Alot of animation goofs throughout, some moments of plot armor for lack of a better term, and the finisher. If I wrote the fight, I would have either a) Have Nate just straight up die in the explosion, or b) He falls out, the helicopter blades land an inch from his face, then he tries to escape only to get shot by an arrow. So yeah, good research and outcome, below average fight. Thank god the 3D fights got better later in.

<p style="font-weight:400;">Score: 3/5 <p style="font-weight:400;">

Pros
<p style="font-weight:400;">-Lesser known characters getting the spotlight in DB is always nice...

<p style="font-weight:400;">-The details in the character bio's where great

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"Some serious Jeuvos"

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Poultry Science

<p style="font-weight:400;">-8-bit fight

<p style="font-weight:400;">-The setting for the fight fit well

<p style="font-weight:400;">-My personal favorite finisher this season <p style="font-weight:400;">

Cons
<p style="font-weight:400;">-...but we didn't get Shovel Knight vs Shantae or Scrooge vs Wario or Mr. Krabs

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Despite the result, Shovel held the edge for most of the fight

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Music was meh

<p style="font-weight:400;">-For me at least, the fight lost it's appeal after a while

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Results section was kinda bland <p style="font-weight:400;">

Summary
<p style="font-weight:400;">Pretty alright for the first 2D battle of the season. The analysis was easily the highlight of the episode, but everything after didn't have much lasting appeal. The fight was great when it first got aired, but it I stopped liking it as much when some of the other 2D episodes of this season got aired, and the results section was kinda bland and unmemorable, even if I do agree with the outcome <p style="font-weight:400;">

<p style="font-weight:400;">Score: 3.5/5 <p style="font-weight:400;">

Pros
<p style="font-weight:400;">-Wiz's venom suit was the best joke to come out of the preview episodes

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Boomsticks disapproval at how both combatants got their names

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"Favorite Hobby: Breaking Backs"

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"Is a big guy...for you"

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Bane's VA was pretty good

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Bane trying to spine break Venom <p style="font-weight:400;">

Cons
<p style="font-weight:400;">-Stomp Battle 2: Electric Boogaloo

<p style="font-weight:400;">-We didn't get Bane vs Kingpin

<p style="font-weight:400;">-The pace of the fight was not that great

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"what the hell is a lighting" - Kayas during this episode

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Way to blurry in some places <p style="font-weight:400;">

Summary
<p style="font-weight:400;">Honestly, there's not much to talk about here. Analysis was good, and had some good moments, but the fight was... just...bad, with poorly paced with bad lighting and camera work. Thankfully, the next episode was much, much better <p style="font-weight:400;">

<p style="font-weight:400;">Score: 2.5/5 <p style="font-weight:400;">

Pros
<p style="font-weight:400;">-They made the silly story of Power Rangers actually interesting

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"Too much pink energy is dangerous" -Zordon, 1880

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"Although slow, this Zord can freeze blast enemies with ice. Or saran wrap, if your short on budget"

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Going over some of the more ludicrous Power Ranger villains

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"So long, gay Bowser"

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Voltron: Legendary Defnder music in the analysis

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"At least his outfit matches his lions color, I mean damn, it's not that hard people"

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"Stronger Together"

<p style="font-weight:400;">-About 99% of the actual fight was great

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"Give him covering fire!" "With what?" "EVERYTHING!" <p style="font-weight:400;">

The Nitpicking section   Cons
<p style="font-weight:400;">-Stomp Battle Part 3: Stardust Crusaders

<p style="font-weight:400;">-MatPat is a cruddy Voice Actor

<p style="font-weight:400;">-Most VA's only had 1 or 2 lines

<p style="font-weight:400;">-"Umm... Isn't this the part where we win?" could have been removed and nothing would have been lost <p style="font-weight:400;">

Summary
<p style="font-weight:400;">So if it wasn't blindly obvious, this fight is tied with another down the list as my favorite fight this season. Every negative part of the fight is just me nitpicking the crap out of everything. Everything from the analysis, fight, and result were fantastic, even if it was a pretty big stomp. <p style="font-weight:400;">
