Strwbrrygutz Nate’s luck doesn’t give a crap about accuracy. The devs at Naughty Dog confirmed that Nate’s luck is the main reason. bullets never directly hit him, and is the soul reason ex-military personnel have missed countless shots on him. So it’s not that Lara is bad at aiming (trust me, she has crackshot accuracy, Screwattack even said that in this video, I DID watch it), but Nate’s luck gives him temporary immunity to any fatal shots. Note that I said “temporary”.
Y'all complaining about the ending, but the real issue is that they use 3 different versions of Lara and combined all of their best qualities, yet only one version of Nathan Drake exists, not at all a fair match up. They should have just used the Lara from the survival time line.
Would've probably been closer but I think Lara still would've won. That iteration of Lara has taken more physical punishment than Drake and while she might not have the same athletic feats as him, when it comes to fighting we see her kill somebody for the first time then basically immediately take on the same kind of groups Drake does.
It doesn't matter. Classic, Legend, and Survivor timeline versions of Lara would all beat Nate individually. Everyone already knows Classic and Legend Lara would absolutely shitstomp him, so that doesn't need to be expounded on. Survivor Lara has proven to still be more durable, and smarter, than Nate, while having great misdirection and stealth skills. She has tanked blows that would outright kill Nate. Not to mention she has a crafty arsenal that blows Nate's away. With the events of the last 1/3 or so of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara makes Nate look like just another brainless, nameless thug unfortunate enough to be in her way. He's a random npc to her.
Nate and Lara are just about to hit each other when a gunshot goes off and Indiana Jones is like “Got room for one more?” Then Nate and Lara shoot him because as cool and skilled and well, badass as Indiana Jones is, even the most realistic video game characters in any genre are bound to outdo characters from movies regardless
I'd agree that Lara would take an edge being professionally trained, rather than self-taught. However, did my boy Nathan's death have to be so damn cheap? I'd have taken a bullet or an axe over having a freaking helicopter blown up by a climbing pick, THEN having an intact helicopter blade fall on him. That was above and beyond ridiculous.
so if we find it not entertaining are we not allowed to voice that opinion, going against the idea of Drake being a lucky guy in such a blatant way just seems stupid.
@@ghghghghghghghgghgh4974 That doesn't make much sense. It's trying to entertain us by making it anti-climatic? What the heck? Wouldn't it try to make it, I dunno, CLIMATIC instead?!
Naruto0116 the how was just for the sake of the visible battle the battle itself isn't how they would fight necessarily just the result of what they found Laura wins yes the ending may have been a bit lackluster but honestly this idea for a death battle is lackluster
The animations are just for entertainment purposes, and don't actually decide the outcome, but I do agree that it was a little ridiculous how this battle ended.
The fact that Lara Croft’s Japanese voice actress Yūko Kaida is also Claire Redfield and Nathan Drake’s Japanese voice actor Hiroki Tōchi is Chris Redfield From Resident Evil so its basically Brother vs Sister
As an Uncharted fan, I do not object to the results of this battle... just the execution of those results I mean, I guess it could be argued that Nate’s store of luck just ran out at the end there, but that just means Lara just kinda won by default...
@@averymarshall-weeks8505 Same. Deathbattle treats luck like a weakness, rather than a strength. When someone has luck as a power, by definition, they CAN rely on it. Think Domino from Deadpool.
@@mikerainbow11 Domino has luck as a defined mutant power. Nate has it for plot convenience. Plot armor is not something included in a DB, even with this being early in DBs run.
@@kingsantacruz2866 nah not even as a plot convenience. Its even stated in the games through the characters about how insanely lucky he is, and how they're scared it'll run out. He's litterally just incredibly lucky
Lara never reloaded her handguns and she uses her ice pick on a stone wall while falling probably 30 mph. Then climbed up and chases Nate down while he’s in a car and somehow gets on his vehicle. Ok buddy
It would've definitely been better if the helicopter rotor missed Nate and landed near his crotch, but Lara was nearby and shot his head, finally finishing his luck
As an Uncharted fan, I 1000% agree. Would have been great too if they had exchanged a quip or two, or if Nate had just said one last resigned "oh, crap," before BANG
BurnedToTheGround no but we'll mention the animation has nothing to do with the outcome since somehow after many years of death battle people can't seem to comprehend that it's just for entertainment purposes and they've said this multiple times.
It's the internet people complain about anything and everything, if it was actually a real legitimate answer to their question then they wouldn't be happy either... The real answer being the script writers because they make the characters and the stories, or if you wanna go even more into it, no one would win because they both aren't real lol.
i think the way bayonetta lost is a half demon vs a human or is she a human and didn't zoro lose 2 swords got two new better swords lost one new sword got a better sword i should relay re watch that and that 9 sword style trick
I think the "Screwattack favors females contestants" thing came up after the Tracer vs Scout DB because they miscalculated/left out so much in Tracer's favor. If we are only looking at that particular death battle then it is certainly suspicious, but one only needs consider the history of the show to realize that is not the case. Not only have men beaten women in numerous battles in the past (don't remember the exact breakdown) but also Screwattack just does bad research in general and they often make mistakes or leave out game changing information. This isn't something limited to the battles where women win over men. Basically it's an unfounded assumption born from Screwattack's poor research habits.
It wasn't. The animation is for fun. Lara's superhuman reaction speeds, agility, strength, and speed were the deciding factors. In a real fight Lara pulls faster and puts 4 bullets center mass before Drake has his gun drawn.
Geoffrey Sorkin To be fair here, Nate’s luck is the exact reason why ex-military haven’t hit him with bullets in the past. Not to mention Nate also has some extreme crack-shot aim. Also, Lara’s fast but not THAT fast, she’s certainly faster than Nate, I’ll say that. Also, stronger opponents haven’t been a problem for Drake in the past, look at Lazarević and the guardians of Shambhala. Just to name a few.
Everyone complaining about Croft winning and I'm like, dude. She fought DINOSAURS. Poor Nate was just burdened with coming from a universe that ran on LOGIC and REALITY. Plus, Death Battle ain't kind to people who just "wing it".
Mitsuki Horenake Nathan drake isn't completely realistic though. Because even a lot of the things Nathan does is impossible. He may be skilled and athletic but many of the things he does is simply not possible for any human being. Especially all those people he fought in uncharted 3. Where did he even learn to fight? We know that he was trained athletically by his older brother but that doesn't explain where he learned to take out multiple goons and brutes. Or where he learned how to shoot
I think DB favored professional training over being self-taught, though. Lara had the money to learn a lot of techniques to defend herself. Nathan taught himself to fight, and maybe that Navy Seal guy they mentioned taught him basic survival skills. It's Zoro vs Erza all over again. Zoro was in a school. Erza taught herself. Zero won. Apparently teachers are the best, I guess.
Mitsuki Horenake it makes sense though don't you think if you have someone to teach you. You will be able to get much better cause you don't have to waste time figuring out the basics
the thing is, nathan drake has fought demons, a tribe of ancient warrior trolls, and has gone toe to toe with a superhuman soldier on crofts level or higher (lezardevic). on top of that he survives literally everything. luck has never failed him once so i dont know why screwattack thinks it should here.
*Lara and nathan are shooting bullets at eachother* her stray bullet acidently hits the grail knocking it down Nathan catches the grail with ease before it hits the ground because of Lara's stray bullet, she activates the trap for both of them Lara: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
Honestly I'm fine with Lara winning I'm just not fine with how she won I just thought it was lame that they incorporated her throwing the axe at the helicopter and then that being the thing that killed him the odds of the blade hitting him much less being intact are so small it disappointed me
Typically (if we take the writers' claims at face-value) there's an algorithm (meaning: math) that leads to a "most likely answer". Sure, if things play out a certain way then Drake might win, or Pinkie kills Deadpool, or Starscream flattens Rainbow Dash... But typically after this myriad of scenarios are considered there's one winner who has a notable lead. To invoke a reference from above: Dante the demon-hunter from "Devil May Cry" MIGHT have lost once or twice in a sample death-battle to the demonic Bayonetta...but it's not hard to see that most of the time the guy whose job is "kill demons from the pits of Hell" will most likely succeed at killing a demon that rivals those from the pits of Hell. They then seem to select the outcome that best reflects the important factors. Switching weapons has been done, super-modes have been done, letting both sides deal their full potential has been done, and (hell) having each side take the other side's full potential is even often the breaking point. Hell, a lot of the contentious outcomes seem to stem from this: THE HULK SHOULD HAVE SURVIVED BEING DECAPITATED! GOKU WOULDN'T BE KILLED BY SUPERMAN SO EASILY! STARSCREAM IS A ROBOT, SO A MERELY-MAGICAL PONY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BEAT HIM IN A DEATH MATCH BECAUSE HE CAN SURVIVE MAGIC! The list goes on, that a lot of the conclusions (and particularly those that people disagree with) come to whether the respective parties' "Finishing Move" will or won't be able to actually finish their opponent. Thus one or thirty or a hundred matches probably had Laura punch Drake to death and then double-tap him to ensure that he stays down. But the helicopter scene was used and mentioned as an important accomplishment and demonstration of her skills, and thus was involved in the chosen solution.
The animation is just entertainment, they chose a cool looking end to the fight instead of, say, smashing headfirst into a stone block or being at the center of an explosion.
Agreed, the way she won was just stupid, even in Tomb Raider or Uncharted logic. Plus the fact that she caught up to Drake was absurd, she fell pretty far down and somehow caught up. It should have ended in a gunfight or hand to hand combat.
*Character who is supposedly lucky gets impaled by a low-probibility rotor* I get that the fight is for entertainment but why even mention Nathan's luck if it's not gonna be part of the fight?
Oh come on, he survived a jeep head first into a brick/stone wall AND the helicopter exploding AAAAAND the fall to the ground. :P How is that not showing his luck?
"why even mention Nathan's luck if it's not gonna be part of the fight?" To be fair, he had a ton of lucky spots during the battle. Including but not limited to: Surviving what should have been a fatal car crash only to land in front of a working helicopter, and dodging dozens of gunshots from a skilled marksmen. I would guess that the end is supposed to reflect that luck can only get you so far.
ow they showed his luck, survived the jeep explosion, the helicopter explosion and the fall on the ground, but they also said sooner or later luck runs out, the rotor was the symbol of it...
First off the jeep shouldn't have exploded, just a crash, second Lara didn't hit any major component on the chopper, so it would not have just exploded. I rate this death battle a 5/10 for bad physics and a notable bias.
I still don't believe how Lara throw her pick hard enough to counter the pull of gravity, the push from the helicopter blades, and the air drag that would come with it. logically and scientifically its not possible
"Nathan suffered a bullet wound in the same area of the body, and while he powered through the pain for a short time-" Okay but you're leaving out that he also went through a strenuous train escape while it was falling off a cliff, took down a mercenary hand-to-hand and stole his gun, then came out on top in a shootout with several dozen other trained mercenaries and assassins.
@@lancefontenot9333 No she didn't. She made it through a cave collapse, multiple wolf attacks. Then was captured by the cultists many of whom were trained former Russian soldiers and special forces. Escaped and killed a bunch of them. Found Roth and treated his broken leg. Climbed several cliffs to get to the transmitter from a wolf den. Scaled the mountain fighting her way through numerous batches of soldiers with heavy weapons including aa guns and grenade launchers to reach the antenna and call for help. Zip lined down from the antenna and when the rescue plane blew up slid down the mountain dodging crashing plane parts. It is near this point that she para glides down the mountain crashes into numerous trees, finds the helicopter and treats her reopened injury.
Not to mention he stumbled into the freezing cold for quite a while until Tenzin found him. And even in 3 where he had been tortured and then managed to escape the pirate shipwrecked place, continues fighting for nearly an entire 24 hours
Look, I can appreciate a Helicopter fatality as much as the next guy, but that did feel kind of cheap considering what each combatant was capable of. Like have Laura shoot him or something when he's down on the ground; that's satisfying and likely. Having the helicopter blades survive the explosion and have the perfect angle to come in and kill drake felt... cheap. I know this might be arguing realism in a fictional fight ring between different fictional characters, but this feels like the Helicopter won deathbattle and not Laura and her axe of Helicopter Slaying
Balkura Nate being the kind of fictional character he is and what he stands for deserved a Warrior's Death. not a failed QTE. that's my only gripe in this episode. Even if my favourite did lose. but I accepted it once this was announced
You realize that the death battle series is not about the actual fight right? I mean it's nice to see an entertaining simulated fight but Death Battle is about anaylising 2 opponents, determine the more likely winner by stats and analysis, and then handle it to a team of animator who do an entertaining video where they are told who the victor is. I'm more a Nathan Drake fan than Lara Croft myself, but she is indead superior in strenght, feat and weaponry so even if Nathan could indeed win, out of 10 fights the winner would end up being Lara 7 time over 3 for Nathan.
It would be nice if the both series merged. A game with Lara and Drake teaming to do something would be awesome. I know this is impossible, but it would be nice...
I just thought about it a little before I watched the video. I was actually hoping they'd prove me wrong. But if what they said about both of them is true is still leans towards Lara. My biggest issue is that Lara didn't actually kill Drake.
The animation is for fun. A realistic fight between them ends very fast. Lara pulls faster (superhuman agility, speed, and reaction time) and puts four bullets center mass. Doesn't make for an exciting death battle.
@Evan Malcolmson Everything you just said except the ending is a gameplay mechanic. Nate got shot in the stomach and barely survived. Lara got impaled through the stomach, and spent three days fighting an army. Gameplay mechanics are not feats. Also, fine, Lara shoots him in the head. Her massive speed advantage still exists. She puts four bullets center mass and two to his forehead.
Given her Superhuman agility, speed, and reaction times, in a real fight she pulls faster and puts four bullets center mass. That's why they say the animation is for fun (and what fun it is)
Zach Lawler the death battle cast that came out after this explains that the battle could have ended at several points, they just decided to have fun with the ending
The ending was such a goddam cop-out, it's ridiculous. Also, how did Lara have time to climb up the pillar, get in her motorbike and catch up to Nathan who had a fair head-start?
People don't watch Death Battle for the analysis. They can say the animations don't matter, but people are watching *because* of the animations. No one really cares what these two dickweeds have to say about the characters.
Badalight The animation is for entertainment, but if it makes no sense then Its just stupid. Lara wouldn't have time to catch up to Nate, therefore they shouldn't have written the fight like that.
It would be better if it landed next to him, he'd get up, say some smart line and Lara would kill him off right afterward. This ending was really lame, especially because we didn't really feel like it was Lara who killed him.
What intelligence???? He's a dumbass yank who stole his identity and has nothing but luck. Lara is a prodigious gymnast and a phD archaeologist too boot. Drake couldn't spell that. Uncharted is overrated as fuk
the duel was lame. Like really lame, and I don't mean the who won, just the exectuion was really bad. They fight, then run away and Drake lost because of random heli propeller stabbing him......Random factors are so lame. Might aswell actually penetrated him with arrow in cool way, than random death
TheNextInfamous I was expecting that I thought his luck would run out by get hit by Laura's arrow. but no it had to be some random propeller blade that kills him
It should have missed by inches and then have him shot in the face or something shortly afterward. He was grounded and weaponless in that instance, so the propeller just felt like an excuse for "Hey, let's make this kill as over-the-top as we can!"
+Douglas Glass Lara should win. She has the strength, skill and feats advantage. Also, the animation is not what determines who wins. Only the research determines who wins
sos sos okay Nathan had never ever escaped by helicopter and he actuallys hates them ,in the second game he says it himself,and also wdym fiting death? Nathan did not deserve to die like that
@@leoakough5409 ????? What for? Chalice is revealed, Lara doesn't react. Lara shoots chalice (no bullets from Drake) and look shocked, Drake catches chalice and gets berated. You have yet to convince me Drake was at fault here.
Arch Angel that was a motorcycle it wouldn't even be able to get far in the sand it would react as the sand was quicksand and besides we all knew Nathan was going to win and when the girl threw that mountain climbing hook there's no way in hell or Heaven that the f****** helicopter would explode so easily Nathan got impaled AND shot TWICE what happened to Tomb Raider girl it doesn't matter she should have lost f*** the Tomb Raider girl all hail Nathan all hail Nathan all hail Nathan
Tbh, this fight really shouldn't have a "winner", let alone be a fight at all. This is a fight between two regular humans with a knack for adventuring and are really good at being resourceful. While they have these similarities, it doesn't feel right to pit them against each other because of who they are. Lara is a living symbol of feminism (in a good way), while Nathan is an extremely relatable and likeable character (more than Lara imo); one where we can put ourselves in his shoes and really know what he would be experiencing in that moment. So, pitting them against one another just feels wrong because it feels they don't belong here. P.S. The way Nathan went out was super anti-climactic and bull. If he's going to go out, he deserves to go out respectably! Comment if you agree.
Nathan feels super relatable indeed. And there’s to many feminists symbols out there in game. I kind of felt like Wiz and Boom Stick were trying to appease feminists subscribers.
I like to think that if it were in a game, the moment the place started falling apart, they'd actually have helped each other get out since they're not really enemies, but more rival treasure hunters. Then Nathan would lose the grail on a following stick up, but get back at her by reobtaining the grail and *ultimately* losing it at the end.
*facepalm* the ending was VERY contrived. I'm not arguing against the fact that Croft is superior to Drake, I just wished the final blow was more believable, and up close and personal.
Agreed. They said themselves the only way she could beat a helicopter with a hand axe would be to hit the air intake, and they didn't even put one on that copter. Pretty lazy.
Yeah, also she hit the helicopter right below the propeller. It wasn't even close enough to the props or anything else do any real damage to the chopper, the axe would have just fallen out, just leaving a hole in the chopper.
Well, I was wrong. Man that would have been an awesome ending. They both end up living, they look for the Grail, can't find it, only for Indy to be up on a cliff or something, says "Amateurs" then as he walks away says "I swear I left this somewhere else..."
They both were after the false grail- the true grail wouldn't be shiny and opulent, and Indy knows it. Indy probably found the true grail in the ruins after they left, leaving Lara humiliated and branded a murderer since she attacked Nathan without any provocation even though he had gotten there first. :3
Lara was made before video games gave two shits about physics while Nathan Drake was made to be relatively grounded by video game standards since, yknow, Naughty Dog Lara definitely wins
DC he shoves it just a little bit to fall off a cliff we can assume its slightly imbalanced. He dosent push it continuously for like 10-15 feet forward on even ground....
Exactly this. Nathan's level of luck is unbelievable, yet the way they killed him is simply him being unlucky. Lara outclasses him in strength, speed, skill, etc., and so this ending is an utter joke.
Advancements of Science Society Did you forget that Lara was the one who made the helicopter explode? That's a pretty direct way of dying, and Nathan was lucky to survive the explotion and the fall. So I think you are grasping at straws here.
After watching a ton of battles between superpowered planet level beings, it’s nice to see a good old fashioned shootout between two (mostly) ordinary humans.
While seemingly silly at first, Scrooge is an accomplished treasure hunter, very skilled combatant and has fought and beaten his version of Dracula, while that vampire was getting support from an evil sorceress. He's also no slouch when it comes to making a plan of attack. I can only wonder then, who can take him on?
Luck is Nathan's greatest strength, and you kill him with an ungodly amount of bad luck? Why not just have Lara impale him through the face with the axe then he just explodes instead?
Because that would be boring and anticlimactic. When you look at all the other flashy ways people have been killed on this show, you gotta try SOMETHING different. Besides, the fights are made for entertainment anyway. It's the facts and analysis that determine the winner.
acemckillayoface And this isn't anti-climactic? You can barely say she killed him at all. And yeah, thanks, I don't care who won. That ending was just really lame. It could have happened to Lara instead, (which would make more sense) and it would still be really lame.
Honestly, the only reason that Lara won is because all of her games are pretty unrealistic. The Classics make no sense, but they do have a point in saying that she is the better fighter, because she was military trained. I love Nate way more than Lara, but I'll admit that he'd loose in this matchup
Your kinda missing the point here. Yes her winning the fight is accurate but they should have ended it in a way that was reflective of her advantages and not in a way that was contradictory to Nathan's strengths. For example if the fight ended with them fighting hand to hand with Lora edging out the victory then it wouldn't be a problem.
see while i love Lara she is just like every villain drake has gone up against. shes just another rich treasure hunter to Nathan. and we all know how it ended with them. hes even fought and gotten the better of foes that are stronger and faster than him. Lara like all the rest is cocky and knows shes good a fact which Nathan takes advantage of every time.
+MrUsoutlaw but lara is trained in martial arts, she adapts to combat and skilled with weapons. Nathan is just a dude who is good at basic brawling and somewhat good at shooting guns thats it. hes not meant for combat
Chill out. The death fits with this genre. It was never gonna end in a fist fight. He'd pretty much would've lost big time if it came down to that. Plus they had to make it fun and exciting.
Megashark 101 you keep saying this yet disregard the fact that the person saying that uncharted is more realistic doesn't say that it ISN'T unrealistic. they're both unrealistic. Tomb Raider is more unrealistic. Ok
I don't care if Lara wins, Nate is still my favorite character. At least he knows how to have a little bit of fun. Actually, if they joined forces, they'd be unstoppable.
It would have been a better ending if instead they had just dropped the artifact and just banged there and then in the desert. Especially if they get interupted by Sully: _"Goddamn it kid, I'm getting too old for this!"_
my biggest issue with deathbattle is that they combine different versions of a character into one instead if actually picking one version of that character.
Lzxm oh they do it a lot with this fight they should have just picked one and I'll admit old Lara would win but not reboot This makes me scared for crash vs spyro if they ever get to it
Like with link , yup they dont know what the hell they are doing or talkig about combining several diffrent variations/reincarnations into one guy with all his weapons and abilities.
That ending was kind of dumb. I'm fine with the outcome, since Lara clearly has bigger feats but after Drake fell out of the helicopter they should've had a last fist fight to death instead of that bs they pulled there. Still a good episode overall, I just didn't like the ending.
***** but they hardly display either of there skills, the fight should have ended in fist to fist not by sheer luck, which Drake is supposed to be pretty lucky so it's stupid for him to die of unluck, like I still think lara should have won, but this wasn't even a fight, and spits at the name "battle". By your logic they could have a character take a dump down someone's throat and have then win, because the animation doesn't matter.
Yea, just seemed too out of nowhere. Would have been fine had Nathan died in the helicopter explosion. But no, lets have him get impaled by the goddamn propeller that, by some bs luck hits him in the gut perfectly.
They didn't own the old logo 100%, it was made by a team that is no longer around that they used to work with when deathbattle started like 6 years ago, it's legally safer to change it. The info came from one of their last podcasts. I'm not a big fan of this new one either though, it's "cool" yeah, but not so easy on the eyes.
I was pulling for Lara,but I call BS on her catching up with him is fast after Nathan was gone in his jeep....I mean come on.....Lara climbed back up that hike,got on her bike,started it AND caught up to Nathan THAT fast?? what kind of reality-warping BS was that???? lol
AdamAddictL right she fell so many feet that was easily over and 250 feet fall and it'd take her way longer to climb back up especially with only one axe
Lara: throws axe at helicopter, leaves small dent.
Helicopter:aight imma head out

TheGamingMage she also had only one pick she couldnt have been able to climb up that cliff and have enough time to catch nate
Y'all complaining about the ending, but the real issue is that they use 3 different versions of Lara and combined all of their best qualities, yet only one version of Nathan Drake exists, not at all a fair match up. They should have just used the Lara from the survival time line.
Exactly! Combining every Lara just makes her extremely overpowered as they’re also counting the more unrealistic ones like the original.
Would've probably been closer but I think Lara still would've won. That iteration of Lara has taken more physical punishment than Drake and while she might not have the same athletic feats as him, when it comes to fighting we see her kill somebody for the first time then basically immediately take on the same kind of groups Drake does.
Pretty much what they did in the goku vs superman episode
Well why doesn't Nathan learn anything new? If there was more versions they would have included them
It doesn't matter. Classic, Legend, and Survivor timeline versions of Lara would all beat Nate individually. Everyone already knows Classic and Legend Lara would absolutely shitstomp him, so that doesn't need to be expounded on.

realistic? you must be joking lol 19feet jumps from standstill... 40ft drop onto rock and just shaking it off etc etc...
As an Uncharted fan, I do not object to the results of this battle... just the execution of those results
I mean, I guess it could be argued that Nate’s store of luck just ran out at the end there, but that just means Lara just kinda won by default...
True but I don’t agree to the ending at all
@@averymarshall-weeks8505 Same. Deathbattle treats luck like a weakness, rather than a strength. When someone has luck as a power, by definition, they CAN rely on it. Think Domino from Deadpool.
@@mikerainbow11 Domino has luck as a defined mutant power. Nate has it for plot convenience. Plot armor is not something included in a DB, even with this being early in DBs run.
@@kingsantacruz2866 nah not even as a plot convenience. Its even stated in the games through the characters about how insanely lucky he is, and how they're scared it'll run out. He's litterally just incredibly lucky
Couldn't have been more correct..
The helicopter blades shouldn't have killed him almost like they forgot his luck
They said his luck ran out. The death was supposed to be ironic.
It would’ve landed a foot from his head in a game.

Lara never reloaded her handguns and she uses her ice pick on a stone wall while falling probably 30 mph. Then climbed up and chases Nate down while he’s in a car and somehow gets on his vehicle. Ok buddy
It would've definitely been better if the helicopter rotor missed Nate and landed near his crotch, but Lara was nearby and shot his head, finally finishing his luck
As an Uncharted fan, I 1000% agree. Would have been great too if they had exchanged a quip or two, or if Nate had just said one last resigned "oh, crap," before BANG
YES PLEASE
This one is a classic battle of plot armor.
Straight up,how did he not die from that height and also survive that crash without a scratch?
Nathen drake has plot armor
I thought DC Comics characters have plot armor on always.
All protagonists have plot armor. Nate's is just a game mechanic. Lara has the pretty much superhuman strength, agility, skill, and pain tolerance.

she got grabling hook in legend
Same thing with the helicopter that Nathan improvised to enter.
she has the rope arrow
People are saying she won because she was a woman? Then why did Bayonetta and Erza lose?
i think the way bayonetta lost is a half demon vs a human or is she a human and didn't zoro lose 2 swords got two new better swords lost one new sword got a better sword i should relay re watch that and that 9 sword style trick
Bayo summons demons and Dante is a demon hunter.
SuperSquatchie Dante Vs Bayonetta was wrong.
I think the "Screwattack favors females contestants" thing came up after the Tracer vs Scout DB because they miscalculated/left out so much in Tracer's favor. If we are only looking at that particular death battle then it is certainly suspicious, but one only needs consider the history of the show to realize that is not the case. Not only have men beaten women in numerous battles in the past (don't remember the exact breakdown) but also Screwattack just does bad research in general and they often make mistakes or leave out game changing information. This isn't something limited to the battles where women win over men.
Basically it's an unfounded assumption born from Screwattack's poor research habits.
Nario: Not Mario
I can't belive the deciding factor was luck.
Nathan Drake is over reliant on luck
Masahiro Sakurai what are you doing here sakurai watch the Mario bros get killed by sonic and tails
It wasn't. The animation is for fun. Lara's superhuman reaction speeds, agility, strength, and speed were the deciding factors. In a real fight Lara pulls faster and puts 4 bullets center mass before Drake has his gun drawn.
You literally ignored everything after Lara said "not a scratch."
Geoffrey Sorkin To be fair here, Nate’s luck is the exact reason why ex-military haven’t hit him with bullets in the past. Not to mention Nate also has some extreme crack-shot aim. Also, Lara’s fast but not THAT fast, she’s certainly faster than Nate, I’ll say that. Also, stronger opponents haven’t been a problem for Drake in the past, look at Lazarević and the guardians of Shambhala. Just to name a few.

Everyone complaining about Croft winning and I'm like, dude. She fought DINOSAURS. Poor Nate was just burdened with coming from a universe that ran on LOGIC and REALITY. Plus, Death Battle ain't kind to people who just "wing it".
Mitsuki Horenake Nathan drake isn't completely realistic though. Because even a lot of the things Nathan does is impossible. He may be skilled and athletic but many of the things he does is simply not possible for any human being. Especially all those people he fought in uncharted 3. Where did he even learn to fight? We know that he was trained athletically by his older brother but that doesn't explain where he learned to take out multiple goons and brutes. Or where he learned how to shoot
I think DB favored professional training over being self-taught, though. Lara had the money to learn a lot of techniques to defend herself. Nathan taught himself to fight, and maybe that Navy Seal guy they mentioned taught him basic survival skills.
It's Zoro vs Erza all over again. Zoro was in a school. Erza taught herself. Zero won. Apparently teachers are the best, I guess.
Mitsuki Horenake it makes sense though don't you think if you have someone to teach you. You will be able to get much better cause you don't have to waste time figuring out the basics
the thing is, nathan drake has fought demons, a tribe of ancient warrior trolls, and has gone toe to toe with a superhuman soldier on crofts level or higher (lezardevic).
on top of that he survives literally everything. luck has never failed him once so i dont know why screwattack thinks it should here.

Honestly I'm fine with Lara winning I'm just not fine with how she won I just thought it was lame that they incorporated her throwing the axe at the helicopter and then that being the thing that killed him the odds of the blade hitting him much less being intact are so small it disappointed me
Typically (if we take the writers' claims at face-value) there's an algorithm (meaning: math) that leads to a "most likely answer". Sure, if things play out a certain way then Drake might win, or Pinkie kills Deadpool, or Starscream flattens Rainbow Dash...
But typically after this myriad of scenarios are considered there's one winner who has a notable lead. To invoke a reference from above: Dante the demon-hunter from "Devil May Cry" MIGHT have lost once or twice in a sample death-battle to the demonic Bayonetta...but it's not hard to see that most of the time the guy whose job is "kill demons from the pits of Hell" will most likely succeed at killing a demon that rivals those from the pits of Hell.
They then seem to select the outcome that best reflects the important factors. Switching weapons has been done, super-modes have been done, letting both sides deal their full potential has been done, and (hell) having each side take the other side's full potential is even often the breaking point. Hell, a lot of the contentious outcomes seem to stem from this: THE HULK SHOULD HAVE SURVIVED BEING DECAPITATED! GOKU WOULDN'T BE KILLED BY SUPERMAN SO EASILY! STARSCREAM IS A ROBOT, SO A MERELY-MAGICAL PONY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BEAT HIM IN A DEATH MATCH BECAUSE HE CAN SURVIVE MAGIC! The list goes on, that a lot of the conclusions (and particularly those that people disagree with) come to whether the respective parties' "Finishing Move" will or won't be able to actually finish their opponent.
Thus one or thirty or a hundred matches probably had Laura punch Drake to death and then double-tap him to ensure that he stays down. But the helicopter scene was used and mentioned as an important accomplishment and demonstration of her skills, and thus was involved in the chosen solution.
The animation is just entertainment, they chose a cool looking end to the fight instead of, say, smashing headfirst into a stone block or being at the center of an explosion.
To be fair, Nathan should've died in the car crash
Agreed, the way she won was just stupid, even in Tomb Raider or Uncharted logic. Plus the fact that she caught up to Drake was absurd, she fell pretty far down and somehow caught up. It should have ended in a gunfight or hand to hand combat.
Knox it should have ended with Lara destroying him with thors hammer

Oh come on, he survived a jeep head first into a brick/stone wall AND the helicopter exploding AAAAAND the fall to the ground. :P How is that not showing his luck?
"why even mention Nathan's luck if it's not gonna be part of the fight?"
To be fair, he had a ton of lucky spots during the battle. Including but not limited to: Surviving what should have been a fatal car crash only to land in front of a working helicopter, and dodging dozens of gunshots from a skilled marksmen. I would guess that the end is supposed to reflect that luck can only get you so far.
ow they showed his luck, survived the jeep explosion, the helicopter explosion and the fall on the ground, but they also said sooner or later luck runs out, the rotor was the symbol of it...
First off the jeep shouldn't have exploded, just a crash, second Lara didn't hit any major component on the chopper, so it would not have just exploded. I rate this death battle a 5/10 for bad physics and a notable bias.

"Nathan suffered a bullet wound in the same area of the body, and while he powered through the pain for a short time-"
Okay but you're leaving out that he also went through a strenuous train escape while it was falling off a cliff, took down a mercenary hand-to-hand and stole his gun, then came out on top in a shootout with several dozen other trained mercenaries and assassins.
He kept passing out
@@lancefontenot9333 No she didn't. She made it through a cave collapse, multiple wolf attacks. Then was captured by the cultists many of whom were trained former Russian soldiers and special forces.

Scaled the mountain fighting her way through numerous batches of soldiers with heavy weapons including aa guns and grenade launchers to reach the antenna and call for help. Zip lined down from the antenna and when the rescue plane blew up slid down the mountain dodging crashing plane parts. It is near this point that she para glides down the mountain crashes into numerous trees, finds the helicopter and treats her reopened injury.
@@randomstuff403 ok my bad understood
Fr he blew himself up survived a plant crash has to fight a militia while in the freezing cold
Not to mention he stumbled into the freezing cold for quite a while until Tenzin found him. And even in 3 where he had been tortured and then managed to escape the pirate shipwrecked place, continues fighting for nearly an entire 24 hours
Look, I can appreciate a Helicopter fatality as much as the next guy, but that did feel kind of cheap considering what each combatant was capable of. Like have Laura shoot him or something when he's down on the ground; that's satisfying and likely. Having the helicopter blades survive the explosion and have the perfect angle to come in and kill drake felt... cheap. I know this might be arguing realism in a fictional fight ring between different fictional characters, but this feels like the Helicopter won deathbattle and not Laura and her axe of Helicopter Slaying
Balkura Nate being the kind of fictional character he is and what he stands for deserved a Warrior's Death. not a failed QTE. that's my only gripe in this episode. Even if my favourite did lose. but I accepted it once this was announced
Mindy Auron cause getting a bullet through your head is warriors death
Balkura Well, the animation is not a simulation, meaning that it could have easily resulted in a different death. It's just eye candy.
You realize that the death battle series is not about the actual fight right? I mean it's nice to see an entertaining simulated fight but Death Battle is about anaylising 2 opponents, determine the more likely winner by stats and analysis, and then handle it to a team of animator who do an entertaining video where they are told who the victor is. I'm more a Nathan Drake fan than Lara Croft myself, but she is indead superior in strenght, feat and weaponry so even if Nathan could indeed win, out of 10 fights the winner would end up being Lara 7 time over 3 for Nathan.
Figures someone would come chiming in saying this exact thing in response..
It would be nice if the both series merged. A game with Lara and Drake teaming to do something would be awesome. I know this is impossible, but it would be nice...

RatchetXJ0 Some scientists are very upset right now. I could name multiple issues with this entire fight.

How do you figure? She's pathetic compared to Drake an his accomplishments.
I just thought about it a little before I watched the video. I was actually hoping they'd prove me wrong. But if what they said about both of them is true is still leans towards Lara. My biggest issue is that Lara didn't actually kill Drake.

This ending is so much bs she threw that grapple hook over 500ft
Abigail Slade she’d make one hell of a quarterback

Because she got skills!!
The animation is for fun. A realistic fight between them ends very fast. Lara pulls faster (superhuman agility, speed, and reaction time) and puts four bullets center mass. Doesn't make for an exciting death battle.
@Evan Malcolmson Everything you just said except the ending is a gameplay mechanic. Nate got shot in the stomach and barely survived. Lara got impaled through the stomach, and spent three days fighting an army. Gameplay mechanics are not feats. Also, fine, Lara shoots him in the head. Her massive speed advantage still exists. She puts four bullets center mass and two to his forehead.
This episode has sparked a LOT of controversy.
I love that Lara had two pistols pointed at him and still let him take out his gun
Given her Superhuman agility, speed, and reaction times, in a real fight she pulls faster and puts four bullets center mass.
That's why they say the animation is for fun (and what fun it is)
Honestly, I agree with the outcome
..... The actual battle ended pretty unfairly in my opinion
The end was right, the way he died was not.

Scorpio Gamer So? Uncharted is a better series.
All that matters in Death Battle is who's more apt in combat.
thank you
The ending was such a goddam cop-out, it's ridiculous. Also, how did Lara have time to climb up the pillar, get in her motorbike and catch up to Nathan who had a fair head-start?
animation is for entertainment purposes, not how the fight would actually play out
Do you death battle? It's purpose is totally to evaluate their "facts, weapons and skills". You'd know that from being in 2-3 minutes.
People don't watch Death Battle for the analysis. They can say the animations don't matter, but people are watching *because* of the animations. No one really cares what these two dickweeds have to say about the characters.
Saber0003 actually a lot of people do......that's why people have debunk videos on them and discussions
Badalight The animation is for entertainment, but if it makes no sense then Its just stupid. Lara wouldn't have time to catch up to Nate, therefore they shouldn't have written the fight like that.
really the propeller killed him come on with his luck it would have landed right next to him
Like they said, luck always runs out eventually.
all D&D style game players know that luck is a finite resource
Lux It's a lame way to end him. End it with a final fire fire and then Laura toppling a ruins wall on him or something. I would be fine with that
It would be better if it landed next to him, he'd get up, say some smart line and Lara would kill him off right afterward. This ending was really lame, especially because we didn't really feel like it was Lara who killed him.
Yeah Nate's luck is beyond all others to make him die because of bad luck doesn't seem right
I Love Drake's humor and intelligence, and i love Croft's feistiness and intelligence. 2 great protagonists in 2 great adventure series.

TheNextInfamous it wasn't random the propeller from the exploded helecopter killed him
I think this might be the smartest "I don't like this video" comment for a death battle comment section. Ever.
While I will agree with you on that, the result was correct.
It should have missed by inches and then have him shot in the face or something shortly afterward. He was grounded and weaponless in that instance, so the propeller just felt like an excuse for "Hey, let's make this kill as over-the-top as we can!"

Tbh, this fight really shouldn't have a "winner", let alone be a fight at all. This is a fight between two regular humans with a knack for adventuring and are really good at being resourceful. While they have these similarities, it doesn't feel right to pit them against each other because of who they are. Lara is a living symbol of feminism (in a good way), while Nathan is an extremely relatable and likeable character (more than Lara imo); one where we can put ourselves in his shoes and really know what he would be experiencing in that moment. So, pitting them against one another just feels wrong because it feels they don't belong here.
P.S. The way Nathan went out was super anti-climactic and bull. If he's going to go out, he deserves to go out respectably! Comment if you agree.
I agree
Nathan feels super relatable indeed. And there’s to many feminists symbols out there in game. I kind of felt like Wiz and Boom Stick were trying to appease feminists subscribers.

I like to think that if it were in a game, the moment the place started falling apart, they'd actually have helped each other get out since they're not really enemies, but more rival treasure hunters.
Then Nathan would lose the grail on a following stick up, but get back at her by reobtaining the grail and *ultimately* losing it at the end.

*facepalm* the ending was VERY contrived. I'm not arguing against the fact that Croft is superior to Drake, I just wished the final blow was more believable, and up close and personal.
David CrespoUSA THANK YOU! I was looking for someone who agreed! As soon as I saw the helicopter I groaned...
Agreed. They said themselves the only way she could beat a helicopter with a hand axe would be to hit the air intake, and they didn't even put one on that copter. Pretty lazy.
She isn't superior at all, this whole death battle was just a setup to please the feminist assholes!
Yeah, also she hit the helicopter right below the propeller. It wasn't even close enough to the props or anything else do any real damage to the chopper, the axe would have just fallen out, just leaving a hole in the chopper.
it's obvious you have a bias. your profile pic is nathan drake
Before I see the fight, I just hope Indy comes in at the end with the treasure, looks at Lara & Nathan & says "Amateurs" then whip swings away.
Well, I was wrong. Man that would have been an awesome ending. They both end up living, they look for the Grail, can't find it, only for Indy to be up on a cliff or something, says "Amateurs" then as he walks away says "I swear I left this somewhere else..."
They both were after the false grail- the true grail wouldn't be shiny and opulent, and Indy knows it. Indy probably found the true grail in the ruins after they left, leaving Lara humiliated and branded a murderer since she attacked Nathan without any provocation even though he had gotten there first. :3
Nathan Drake: I dont walk away
*After nathan Dies*
Nathan Drake: I should have walked away
Lara was made before video games gave two shits about physics while Nathan Drake was made to be relatively grounded by video game standards since, yknow, Naughty Dog
Lara definitely wins
Hit the nail right on the head.
zgamer200 if they stuck with reboot Lara, Nate would have won, but the minute they brought the pre games into this I knew Nate didn't stand a chance
zgamer200 You say Relatively grounded but the man pushes 20 tons. That's super human
And these jumping and climbing abilities are not human too.
DC he shoves it just a little bit to fall off a cliff we can assume its slightly imbalanced. He dosent push it continuously for like 10-15 feet forward on even ground....
This Video wouldn't have so many Dislikes if Nathan was killed more directly by Lara.
Nathans death just fellt disrespectfull and unsatisfying to me.
Exactly this. Nathan's level of luck is unbelievable, yet the way they killed him is simply him being unlucky. Lara outclasses him in strength, speed, skill, etc., and so this ending is an utter joke.
Advancements of Science Society
Did you forget that Lara was the one who made the helicopter explode? That's a pretty direct way of dying, and Nathan was lucky to survive the explotion and the fall.
So I think you are grasping at straws here.
jb ihh hi
Amigo Morton yeah
Amigo Morton exactly thank you
To me, Nathan Drake is still a better and more likeable character.
He was a more inspiring character to influence people to do something extraordinary in their lives.
Oh of course
Raquel Concepcion there both great Nathan has more depth but Lara is just so badass
That has nothing to do with the Death Battle lol
+Zelda Undso It's called an opinion, you idiot. Do you live under a rock?
After watching a ton of battles between superpowered planet level beings, it’s nice to see a good old fashioned shootout between two (mostly) ordinary humans.
No need for the death battle. Lara should have shot as soon as drake reached for the gun.
Yes, indeed.
but then we wouldn't get to see them fight (and therefore entertain us)
With the results that happen... yea that's what happen not that crazy bs of a ending. At least I can accept that.
Who else is rooting for Nathan?
i am
I am :3
i am
well to bad
I did
"What the hell just happened?" The entire fight.
Lara: Veteran
Drake: Semi-pro
really screwattack Scrooge McDuck? there's other requests that are better selections.
I think that they follow this order, one serious, one funny
Jovuan Jackson read about his life.he can withstand almost antything and he once fought alone with 15-20 people some of them armed.And he still won
Read Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck and then come back here and say that again.
While seemingly silly at first, Scrooge is an accomplished treasure hunter, very skilled combatant and has fought and beaten his version of Dracula, while that vampire was getting support from an evil sorceress. He's also no slouch when it comes to making a plan of attack. I can only wonder then, who can take him on?
Brandon Green smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies. That's how he got to be the richest in Duckburg
Luck is Nathan's greatest strength, and you kill him with an ungodly amount of bad luck? Why not just have Lara impale him through the face with the axe then he just explodes instead?
I KNOW RIGHT??
For irony's sake.
Because that would be boring and anticlimactic. When you look at all the other flashy ways people have been killed on this show, you gotta try SOMETHING different. Besides, the fights are made for entertainment anyway. It's the facts and analysis that determine the winner.
Death battle: "luck eventually Runs out" yep it was Irony.
acemckillayoface And this isn't anti-climactic? You can barely say she killed him at all.
And yeah, thanks, I don't care who won. That ending was just really lame. It could have happened to Lara instead, (which would make more sense) and it would still be really lame.
Maybe this season we will get Afro Samurai vs Samurai Jack!
Drew The Legend This I would love to see!
theyd pbly make it epic but thatd be a pretty lopsided fight in jacks favor.
Drew The Legend the hell with Samurai Jack, do Samurai X Himura Kenshin, battousai The Man Slayer. Much better match up.
jack would obliterate tho.
Jack wins LOL :D
Nathan is my idol. This makes me cry inside.
Honestly, the only reason that Lara won is because all of her games are pretty unrealistic. The Classics make no sense, but they do have a point in saying that she is the better fighter, because she was military trained. I love Nate way more than Lara, but I'll admit that he'd loose in this matchup
My god... Boomstick didn't comment on how Lara Croft looks! The world is coming to an end!
Jacob Coleman he did when he was talking about her guns.
it is a sign, that whenever boomstick doesnt try to hot on someone in the db, its rigged
WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!
Jade Paduga that isn't true she fought a t rex
Jacob Coleman but ur right I am surprised he didn't talk about her much
yeah she won but could you make the way she won less bullcrap I mean seriously she throws a pic at a helicopter!?
Your kinda missing the point here. Yes her winning the fight is accurate but they should have ended it in a way that was reflective of her advantages and not in a way that was contradictory to Nathan's strengths. For example if the fight ended with them fighting hand to hand with Lora edging out the victory then it wouldn't be a problem.
see while i love Lara she is just like every villain drake has gone up against. shes just another rich treasure hunter to Nathan. and we all know how it ended with them. hes even fought and gotten the better of foes that are stronger and faster than him. Lara like all the rest is cocky and knows shes good a fact which Nathan takes advantage of every time.
MrUsoutlaw true very true
+MrUsoutlaw but lara is trained in martial arts, she adapts to combat and skilled with weapons. Nathan is just a dude who is good at basic brawling and somewhat good at shooting guns thats it. hes not meant for combat
Chill out. The death fits with this genre. It was never gonna end in a fist fight. He'd pretty much would've lost big time if it came down to that. Plus they had to make it fun and exciting.
DB:Laura can do the axe helicopter thing
People:ok
DB: Laura does the helicopter axe thing
People: wait that's illegal
She's like 500 feet away and it barely leaves a dent in the helicopter but it still blows up
She is using cheats
They literally mentioned this for her analysis in the comics
Lara! you uncultured swine
Yea why are people bitching about something they literally said she could do?
It’s clear they don’t play the games because Nathan is not the guy to just leave in a helicopter when things go south
right, i expected sully to appear with his plane.....lol
I think that Lara’s helicopter.
He legit says “I hate helicopters!!” In Uncharted 2 when being bombarded by helicopter gunfire.
Welp, Lara is going to be part of my plan to get into Area 51
Dude she going to LEAD you into Area 51! Follow her lead and you should be fine!
@@superheavyxd2684 you do know Iron Man is the owner of Area 51?
Funnily enough, Lara actually had raided Area 51 before, in Tomb Raider 3 specifically. She did so in search of a magical meteorite fragment
She was at Area 51 in Tomb raider III (1998). You can even check.
Well she's unrealistic and he's more realistic. Makes sense why she won.
Dinomaster451 Neither games are realistic.
Megashark 101 you keep saying this yet disregard the fact that the person saying that uncharted is more realistic doesn't say that it ISN'T unrealistic. they're both unrealistic. Tomb Raider is more unrealistic. Ok
actually nathens games pretty set in reality asides from the plane blowing up
Dinomaster451 And because the femanazis would call the video sexist.
yeah that pretty much sums it up
I don't care if Lara wins, Nate is still my favorite character. At least he knows how to have a little bit of fun.
Actually, if they joined forces, they'd be unstoppable.
Will 2139 same thinking
Will 2139 facts
Without doubt.
Will 2139 no arguement there
Will 2139 i love lara and i love nathan
The salt of Uncharted fans is too good.
No, that’s only Uncharted fanboys, not normal fans, next time say fanboy. Gosh.
It would have been a better ending if instead they had just dropped the artifact and just banged there and then in the desert.
Especially if they get interupted by Sully: _"Goddamn it kid, I'm getting too old for this!"_
Drake is married with a kid. And don't say that's even better.
Pfff Drake and Elena split up every 5 mins!
.....Except for Uncharted 4.
Steven Bills Not that we know of ;) For all we know Nate could be having an affair with Chloe and Nadine behind Elena's back!
Solid Snake
Snake... do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?
my biggest issue with deathbattle is that they combine different versions of a character into one instead if actually picking one version of that character.
Lzxm oh they do it a lot with this fight they should have just picked one and I'll admit old Lara would win but not reboot
This makes me scared for crash vs spyro if they ever get to it
Lzxm They always did that though.
Deathpool_04 they shouldn't but they do
Deathpool_04 I thought they used to use the most updated version of a character. They did that with Gara, and a few others.
Like with link , yup they dont know what the hell they are doing or talkig about combining several diffrent variations/reincarnations into one guy with all his weapons and abilities.
That ending was kind of dumb. I'm fine with the outcome, since Lara clearly has bigger feats but after Drake fell out of the helicopter they should've had a last fist fight to death instead of that bs they pulled there. Still a good episode overall, I just didn't like the ending.
ThePotatoDoc but it does though, the animation is why 90% of the people watch this, but this wasn't even a fight, just a waste of 5 minutes
***** but they hardly display either of there skills, the fight should have ended in fist to fist not by sheer luck, which Drake is supposed to be pretty lucky so it's stupid for him to die of unluck, like I still think lara should have won, but this wasn't even a fight, and spits at the name "battle". By your logic they could have a character take a dump down someone's throat and have then win, because the animation doesn't matter.
Agreed
same here
Yea, just seemed too out of nowhere. Would have been fine had Nathan died in the helicopter explosion. But no, lets have him get impaled by the goddamn propeller that, by some bs luck hits him in the gut perfectly.
Finally!
If ERB won't do them, you guys did!
WHY DID THEY EVER CHANGE THE LOGO?!?!?!?!?!
New3DSLUIGI364 im not a fan of the new look either. There was nothing wrong with the old one
They didn't own the old logo 100%, it was made by a team that is no longer around that they used to work with when deathbattle started like 6 years ago, it's legally safer to change it. The info came from one of their last podcasts. I'm not a big fan of this new one either though, it's "cool" yeah, but not so easy on the eyes.
Okay, so what about the music? They own that 100% or will we be seeing that be changed in season 5?
UNFORTUNATELY; YES THEY D-I-D CHANGE IT!!
I was pulling for Lara,but I call BS on her catching up with him is fast after Nathan was gone in his jeep....I mean come on.....Lara climbed back up that hike,got on her bike,started it AND caught up to Nathan THAT fast?? what kind of reality-warping BS was that???? lol
AdamAddictL right she fell so many feet that was easily over and 250 feet fall and it'd take her way longer to climb back up especially with only one axe
The visualization is just eyecandy. There are many ways the battle can unfold.
Crystal Thread Sure but if you are going to do something like this, make it more realistic.
MAGNIFASTARD exactly
The precise length of time doesn't matter. Nate also practically teleported to the helicopter. They're just trimming the fat.
Calling it now, Scrooge McDuck vs Wario
Tyler Roads IMMA WARIO AND IMMA GONNA WIN!
Scrooge McDuck vs Smaug. ;)
Tyler Roads scrooge vs mr. krabs
Tyler Roads scrooge vs scrooge
We will have to wait next week
Lara & Nathan duking out to Final Fantasy XV's "Invidia" track is definitely a treat!
