User blog:AdamGregory03/Do Ben and Chad really care about fanboy rage?

Now, keep in mind before we begin, I'm not by any means defending the immaturity or actions of DBZ, Sonic, Superman, or ANY fanboys/girls. I simply want to ask if Ben and Chad really care about their rage?

I mean, I don't think I need to bring up how defensive people can be over their favorite characters losing in an episode of Death Battle, that's pretty much common knowledge at this point. I agree. People do tend to take the show way, WAY too seriously and need to learn how to swallow a chill pill. But in recent times, I've heard many non-fanboys debunking potential matches (for example, Broly vs. Atrocitus) because to more well-liked character would lose and therefor would result in more fanboy rage.

Now, I like to poke fun at the Death Battle "fan" base every now and again for the same reasons as other people. But let's be honest people, if Wiz and Boomstick were to only host battles in which no one would get pissy over... they might as well cancel the show. Because one way or another, no matter who wins, there's going to be at least one person who doesn't agree with the results and takes it personally.

But what can we do about it?

Nothing.

I'm the only person I can control, and you're the only person you can control. If someone is throwing a fit over this, then yeah, we can try to calm them down, but if they won't budge, then that's their problem that they need to work out themselves.

And now, my evidence that Ben and Chad don't care what the over-reactors think:



Yep. The rematch of the century. And by "rematch of the century" I mean a five-minute fight (that was awesome, don't get me wrong) alongside fifteen minutes of Wiz and Boom telling us what we already know.

Now, a lot of you are probably ready to debunk me entirely and tell me that they only did this rematch to appease the Dragon Ball fanboys. BUT... if that is the case, then why didn't they just have Goku win and come up with some bullshit reason why? Honestly, I think the real reason as to why they did this rematch wasn't just because of the fanboys or even Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (redundant much redundant?), but because the first time they made the two clash, their reasoning for why Superman won, while accurate... wasn't explained in the best way.

At the end of the day, I completely agree that the fanboys are incredibly annoying and are a stain to the Death Battle community... But at the end of the day, all we can really do about it is just shrug them off.
