      Also, Zephyr constantly attacks people in his song, while Antrius only attacks Zephyr's skills and him personally. Antrius never needs to include personal remarks to anyone else to win, because he is confident that Zephyr's flaws would be enough, while Zephyr doesn't even try to win fair and square. Basically Antrius came to have an actual discussion, while Zephyr tries to win a debate with insults, which is also found in people with lower self esteem

      y'know, I love insult wars as an artform, and there's an interesting detail I noticed about rap battles:
      In contrast to Epic Rap Battles of History, the knock-offs are mostly just a string of generic insults, potty humor and swearing. No wit, no class, no hitting your opponent right where it hurts, and certainly no double-point lines where you hit your opponent and praise yourself with the same set of words.
      ERB does it right. I've seen a Disney Princess rap battle that did it right ("What's my name? Belle. What's it mean? Beauty. I'm the perfect combination of brains and booty"), and earlier tonight I ran across a rap battle between Peter Quill and Cap'n Jack Sparrow that was *glorious* -- witty, fast-paced, well acted, with incredible visuals. I was stunned because, like I said, when I went looking for other people doing what ERB was doing, I found nothing but potty humor and pointless insults.
      And the thing with this piece is, Zephyr is doing exactly that -- "You suck, let me compare you and your friends to a dick and a turd and a fart and a 'splooshy'" (thanks, Click) -- and yet not only are the lines cleverly written ("You think you're a god? please, you're a codpiece" is inspired) but the character portrayal is designed around this lack of wit. Which puts a huge spin on things and leaves me enjoying it more than I'd expected to.
      And now you've made me appreciate it more by pointing out a detail I hadn't yet picked up on, the distinction in quality between the two sets of lyrics. That's beautiful.
      P.S. Besides wit, the other quality an insult war tests is Poise -- hearing the insults without losing your cool, and being able to gather your wits enough to strike back, maybe twist your opponent's words around to attack them back. Zephyr completely fails that by the end here.

      I love how the lighting shifts - the more Antrius gets beat down, the more Zephyr's blue light invades the space. Up until the final song he dominates the camera, even when Antrius sings.
      When Antrius sings about friendship, the light is all his golden warmth while the blue of Zephyr is utterly gone.
      It's very much having the camera support the story.

    Love this one! It's catchy, on point, a series of highlights of different emotional states. Zephyr is quite cool, while also you hate him and later feel awkwardly sorry. Antrius ist his natural self-praising self while also adorable when giving in to cheat-defeat. Then the turn for friendship only for seconds later to fall for self-praise again. Love it. Tells so much of a story in just some few minutes.

    After all this time, I just noticed Juniper the Owlchemist behind Antrius. Love MissTwisteddd.
