Talk:Beast VS Goliath/@comment-25430354-20150521042823

So my overall impressions now that the video's been fixed: meh.

The fight was pretty short despite the long bios, but the powers aren't too special and really doesn't allow for a lot of room for creativity, as a lot of people have said, it's a filler fight (which is ironic since Iron Man vs Lex was SUPPOSED to be the filler fight). Honestly if the fight could've been more interesting, I think Zack would've been the better choice to animate this. Zack specializes more with characters that get up close and personal with combat (Ragna and Sol, Nightmare and Guts), while Mali specializes on the more interesting power sets (Kirby vs Buu, Pokemon Battle Royale).

As much as I love Beast, it was probably for the better that he lost considering Marvel's string of wins, as much as it pains me to say it. Beast and Goliath are relatively close in terms of abilities, but the problem with Beast as a character is that he can be pretty inconsistent with his feats. Keep in mind when Death Battle does list certain things you can't take all of them at face value, I'm particularily talking about the Juggernaut/Hulk encounters. I knew it'd be a close fight in the end, but with Beast's longer history, I expected more upsets if he lost. I'm fine with Goliath winning, and I think they did a better job explaining here than some previous episodes.

As for who's next, can someone pick up the phone? BECAUSE I F***ING CALLED IT! (That is, if I'm right about Torrian animating it). Like I said before, while they have stated they'd have trouble deciding the animation and determining the winner for Snake vs Fisher (assuming it is it), that doesn't mean it's impossible to  solve and do. Btw Mike, you know that Snake vs Fisher blog you keep posting about the joke? I'm the one who made it ;)
