I love how people have gone from stating "Screwattack's research is pretty good" to "Screwattack sucks at research. Fatal Fiction is better" just because of one battle. Is it me or has the wiki turned into a place for people to complain and rage because deathbattle didn't give them a satisfactory result? I mean half the users are saying fatal fiction is better simply because they had megaman win and Screwattack didn't. I saw one comment comparing Fatal Fiction to DEATHBATTLE stating that in terms of research:

Fatal Fiction>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DeathBattle

In terms of animation

Fatal Fiction<<DeathBattle.

While that most certainly is an exaggerated comment and by no means am I saying Fatal Fiction's animation is bad. The context was because Fatal Fiction had Megaman win and Screwattack did not. When I asked what Fatal Fiction episode I should start with if I wanted to get into the series, do you know what episode they gave me? Megaman VS Astro Boy. I'm not saying people can't like Fatal Fiction more than DEATHBATTLE but when they switch favourites because one series gave them the result they wanted and the other didn't. I'm sorry but that is just pathetic.

Have we really gotten so petty that one off episode is enough to ruin a whole series for us? A series that is first and foremost for entertainment purposes. I disagreed with Gaara VS Toph (before Strunton was so kind as to link to a post that justified Toph's win) but that didn't stop me from liking the episode. The analysis were good and funny and the animation was pretty good as well. The only bad things with the actual episode was the delay and the lack of justification the conclusion gave. (Thanks again Strunton) The conclusion countered arguments that no one would use and while at the time I disagreed with the battle that didn't stop me from enjoying the fight. One thing I got out of it was that even though Ben and Chad are pretty smart they are still human. Human make mistakes and I wasn't going to rub that in their faces just because they made a simple mistake.

We also know that these battles are not biased as both Ben and Chad prefer Goku opposed to Superman yet that doesn't stop Superman from winning. They actually go through research and come to a conclusion that is statistically accurate from their point of view.

I'm aware that the salt people have towards Megaman VS Astro Boy will eventually lessen .This issue will eventually dwindle down to the point where it is safe to talk about the battle again. The question is how long  before the resentment people have towards the show increases again. I mean people were reacting like this towards Gaara VS Toph and only recently did people stop referring to it "The Battle That Must Not Be Named". Is this what the wiki has become? A place where we constantly complain  about death battles that we disagree with?

If we only care for the results and ignore all the other aspects of the battle such as animation, humor, information not to mention how hard the people work on these deathbattles while we watch them for free than we might as well not watch the series at all. The same goes for all other VS series. People work hard on these series and if the only thing we care about is whether the people in charge are right or not than we probably should stop watching.

I guess I was optimistic thinking it was the end of it when Chesknight blocked the AWCs.
