MM and SS weren't thinking about who could kill each other, they were thinking about why would they kill each other. And it fits perfectly for these two. Excellent episode.
Fax so many likes
no comments let me fix that
I feel nothing for both of these underrated heroes
yeah i always wonder if death battle could put characters that can't kill like Kenshin, or Vash Stampide. Imean if they put someone like Thorfin it has to be in his revengfull phase and not in his pacific phase even if his pacific phase is his peak
I would listen to an entire podcast with just these 2! But... why...
Indeed, it does.
These two would absolutely be best friends if they actually met. They are both people who have been through hell, repeatedly, and never stopped being incredibly good people.
haha I know what we are clicking on and expect to see with these DB, but there are just some of these times especially here and and Beast vs. Goliath, that the two could never actually be enemies of one another in fact they'd be the best of friends.
They would be great friends
dam i remember all might vs might guy and kakashi vs obi wan 😔
If they were best friends have we seen a death battle where the 2 could beat these 2
Theres a lot of those; Static vs. Miles Morales, Goku vs Superman, Flash vs. Sonic, Leonardo vs MMPR Red
"Victory comes with no certain satisfaction. I may never know why we were made to fight. If violence is ever truly justified, but perhaps there is something... Worthy in the battle. Something beyond my understanding..."
That was legitimately one of the most beautiful monologues in the show.
Bro said, "Look man I'm just as lost as you are, even if there was a reason. And if I knew, it still wouldn't make any sense as far as I know."
I cried a little
It’s beyond their understanding that having a battle to the very death to entertain people on TH-cam is a worthy cause enough for one of them to die…
@@OctalysisPrimeYTNot true
@@aranha6285I was being sarcastic. But yes it would be beyond their comprehension if they were pitted against each other just some TH-camrs could get more views.
Its crazy how Martian Man is always sidelined on the Justice space station when he's literally second to Superman
Considering how often the space station gets attacked, J'on being on guard duty there makes sense as he can handle any assault on the station pretty much alone.
@@BadrAlrawi Good points
@@BadrAlrawi Space is also where he's safest since fire cant burn in space
DC characters always suffered from inconsistent writing. One story has them shattering reality and the next, they get owned by a guy with a boomerang.
As long as overrated batman is there, he can never get his spot
The ending. It feels like they are aware of the rules of Death Battle. That regardless of if they want to or not, they HAVE to fight to the death and they can't do a thing to stop it. I think its the first time a character has become aware of the function of the show without it being used for comedy, and I'm a huge fan of it.
WE all already know that Martian Manhunter is weak and will lose. LOL
@@coolgamers2794I don’t think that was his point-
@@coolgamers2794that was needlessly mean spirited 🤨
It was an honorable fight.
@@coolgamers2794how is he weak when Superman said that’s the one person he wouldn’t want to fight 1v1 lol
Silver Surfer shedding a tear as he comes to terms with the inevitability that one of them has to die without knowing or understanding why really speaks volumes of his character and who he is
His speech was fire and the final shot of him kneeling on the board alone is amazingly tragic
I am a biased SS stan. But that ending dialog was one of the best character moments in death battle history
Poor guy.
Yeah he would do that fr
SS 🎉🎉🎉🏄🏽♂️
The truly sad thing about this fight is that MM and SS could be very good friends. I can imagine the two of them, philosophizing about the vast universe around them and the meaning behind everything.
A surprising number combatants on this show would probably be friends.
@@brandonquist8394Aang & Ed
@@TheColdestMorningSuperman and Goku.
@@brandonquist8394 xD some ,truly . but not most. Just put gambit and nightwing in one room and ya will have a fight in 0.1 second xD
@@bg.dragon1419LMFAO, do tell me why. 😅
What I love about the last few seasons of Death Battle is that instead of focusing on just making the battles longer or flashier or with better graphics, they're focusing on making the combatants true to both the characterization and the themes of their source material, and finding the areas of common ground between the two to compare their similarities and contrast their differences. It feels like the series has become so much more mature, while staying true to its colorful, flamboyant and action-packed roots.
And then there’s Blake vs Mikasa
I mean they both have morality and philosophy ideals in space
Usually the match-ups are there because the two characters have similar themes or character concepts, so it makes sense.
@@youngmultiverser9311 That's a weird way to say Korra Vs. Storm . . .
"I hope you can live with the uncertainty" was such a good line. Even as he knows he's about to be destroyed, MM has kind words for the Surfer. I want to read a story of these two working together and becoming friends.
I'm here after Paul M. Guyet's character, Discord ''lost", but won the War(by saving Equestria and his friends, including Fluttershy and Princess Twilight Sparkle).
(I voted for Bill Cipher at the last second Saturday)
I think it was the Martian Manhunter's way of saying "I forgive you and I hope you can live with the guilt."
I like how people started off as, "this is just another Marvel vs DC," but little did we know...how powerful of a message and aftertaste this left in all of us.
Next they should do Janet Van Dyne (Wasp) Marvel vs. Karen Beecher (Bumblebee) DC
@@nisaiahcampbell8390only marvel vs DC match up that deserve to be made ego vs mogo
Marquis of death vs Superboy prime
Clay face vs sandman

@@nisaiahcampbell8390 there is a suggestion form
What are you talking about? Who is making you type these stupid conclusions?
@@gameuniverse5973Nah, cause Clayface v Sandman would be absolutely insane.
3:56 Boomstick's frustration at failing to say Mister Mxyzptlk's name is the most relatable and hilarious thing
Agreed, I never stop lmfao at that part everytime I watch this once every blue moon.
Superman understands too!
Ohmahgod, it's said: mix-ee-us-pit-uh-lick.
I personally thought it was kinda annoying and overplayed especially all the surfing lingo but that's just me
Mister mix pickles argh f**k your name
This is the first _serious_ Death Battle where the characters are actually *aware* of the cosmic rules being unwillingly placed on them by the outside force that is the show. It's been acknowledged in the series before, but... that was in Deadpool episodes, not exactly meant to be philosophical or existential.
I love how they both become self aware of their situation by the end but were still forced to end one another, and were both sorta at peace with their end result.
Both of these guys are a kind of space samurai. They fight for life but are ready to embrace death.
@@ZenPaladin So Jedi?
Martin man died happy he saw his wife last momounts of his life
The ending was both sad and shocking.
Sad because of how emotional it was and shocking cause two non-fourth wall breakers practically seemed like they were actually aware that they were forced to fight to the death but didn’t know why.
Mm hacked mr.mxl mind so I'm sure he saw alot . No explaining how ss knew though just death battle nonsense
Could this be a foreshadowing for the next battle?
@@bernirnconsidering the Reality Warpers at play, I think so.
@@bernirnProbably, could be.
theres some fuckery here silver i think we are in a fan fic
I love how y'all show just how much of an abstract battle this would be. It wouldn't just be two strong as hell dudes going at it. It would be two beings we really don't fully understand doing a kind of battle that no one would ever really comprehend.
Its not actually that deep. They would devolve into using energy blasts and punches just like any other superhero battle.
@@majicogarcia8417 Only if the fights badly written tbh
I appreciate how they depicted both characters here with respect to their character's values. I don't think either would enjoy having to fight each other and there would be level of mutual respect between the both of them. I like how SS shed a tear before having to destroy MM as well as it was not something his character would want or typically do.
This was perhaps the most existential Death Battle ever. Not only did they both acknowledge that they were being forced to fight and ponder why, they're both near infinitely powerful beings with great cosmic and philosophical knowledge who had lost their entire civilization. It was going to be a bitter victory no matter who won. And it was a total love letter to these characters. Amazing job.
Truly tragic.
If it weren't for this series, they would've been friends.
Agreed
Silver surfer never lost his people that’s the tragedy of it he sacrificed him self for is civilization to live
@@genjis5155 Yes
It is genuinely fascinating to watch the Surfer and the Manhunter realize at the same time they were fighting solely for the fight. When their minds connected, they shattered the 4th wall and saw that this was exactly what it says on the tin: a Death Battle, a fight they *must* fight even if they don't want to. Of all the incredibly powerful beings that have battled on this show, these are the only two(who are not inherently aware of the 4th wall by concept ala Deadpool)that would end up in a scenario like this and acknowledge it, that was a really nice touch.
Yeah, it was beautiful.
I don't think they broke the 4th wall they realized that the setup had them both thinking the other was their enemy who must die, that in reality they should have no reason to fight and yet they must.
@@umcThunder72yeah they didn’t know about the show or death battle because they did not know the reason they where fighting only that they had to fight and one of them had to die but they didn’t find out it was for a show for our entertainment so they didn’t shatter the 4th wall. (But you can say they grazed the surface of it?)In comparison, Deadpool knows as much as we know and interacts with the audience 😂
@@umcThunder72you don't have to know about it to break the fourth wall, they did break the fourth wall not like Deadpool, but in a different way.
@@cryochick9044 They only have knowledge of the things that exist within their world that means they have not broken the 4th wall as that would require some knowledge or understanding of the world they live in in a meta perspective.
The voice acting in this was incredible. When SS hit MM with the beam that would ultimately kill him, you could really feel the pain in MM's voice. And the somber acceptance that MM would not win, and then choosing to leave SS with kind words despite knowing that with him, the martians die out for good, was such a chilling conclusion. This has to be one of my favorite battles of all time, if only for that final dialogue they had within the heart of the star.
bro who voiced SS killed it with that speech at the end🤯
Paul Guyet, voice actor of Urgot from League of Legends.
It's the kind of voice you'd expect from the Surfer: calm, quiet, thoughtful. A philosophical, almost spiritual being.
Genuinely a heartbreaking ending. Haven’t felt this bad since Johnathan vs Tanjiro
Same
Or Magneto vs. Akira.
Or SpongeBob vs Super Friends Aquaman
@@jonathanpete7433 Dude that one was sad. Poor Aquaman.
Ehh still a mismatch fight
I feel like this is a better representation of both these characters than Hollywood will ever give us.
Martin Manhuter showed up in Zack Snyder's Justice League. The most accurate version of the character I've seen. Yeah, you could ask where he was, but then he was General Swanwick helping out the best he could to fight the Kryptonians and send them back into the Phantom Zone. He was hesitant to launch a nuke to Superman and Doomsday.
But then, he didn't do anything as the story wasn't even finished yet.
Well it’s its hard nigh impossible to put broken pieces of crap on the big screen like this and have it make actual sense; especially if it’s live action.🙃
You got that right.
I feel like they should kiss.
@@Sleepy12ftPanda lol JUST no, what you’re saying is just plain horrible and repulsive as they should NOT “jUsT kIsS” AT ALL. That’s just beyond nasty and something they would NEVER do AT ALL. What you “feEL” is as wrong as as wrong can get, just stop, seriously.
That’s a YOU problem here that you’re BADLY projecting here, not anyone else.
I won't lie I actually cried a little watching this episode. I knew about both characters but had no true idea or knowledge about their backstories or just how deeply tragic they both really were. As much as I was hoping and routing for MM to win, I'm actually happy he at least gets to be with his family again. So I confess this was a very emotional and deep Death Battle Episode.
Right.
God bless you
You know some people may see galactus as a bad guy but honestly it was pretty cool how he has empathy for the Silver Surfer and the guilt he felt for all the deaths
I was explaining to my old lady the other day that he's not really a villain
Yeah his character is more so a tragic environmental force. He’s neither a hero nor villain, he’s basically a hungry lion and entire planets are simply meals that keep him alive. It’s not unlike humans eating animals.
Been a fan of Silver Surfer since I was a kid, and getting to voice him was truly an honor. Thanks RT!!!
pg
You did great. Truly, you both did, I loved the voicework in this episode.
How is this comment so underrated!? You're one of the VA's!
you did amazing!! you truly are the silver surfer
Mate, your performance gave me chills!
Wow, your work is amazing, and it really has come full circle for you. Hasn't it?
This right here... This is one of the most beautiful death battles ever made. It wasn't a brawl of two mights, it was a love letter to two beautiful characters. Well done DB Crew.
Fr
@@thedraftingax5963no cap😢
@@liquidmang Agreed 😢
So this wasn’t mentioned but the Martian’s fear of fire was chosen to be programmed into them not only to act as a weakness but also to keep them from accessing there true form and full powers.
There’s a story where John was able to remove this fear of fire and went mad with the power it gave him.
When he said "my-rea' " I almost cried... least I think that's how it's pronounced
It's honestly sadder when you realize that Norrin Radd knew exactly what the pain of losing your loved ones was. He saw it as a mercy killing, crying as he sent a good-hearted alien to his family.
@@omegaminoseer4539 yeah
I love that end. In an actual encounter, they would never fight to the death, if at all. Them becoming aware of the forces surrounding the fight fits so well
Wouldnt after one of them figured out they werr being controlled wouldn't either one of them began immediately investing what the hell just happened? They could create a character inconsistency or plot hole.
@MrvlOS I think they just didn't want to do that because they already did a self-aware takeover in deadpool vs. Pinkie pie and thought people would be upset, but yeah, that is how it should have went down
@@raymondfelton6709 That's different they break the fourth wall.
@@castedsp1ders I assume that's what Silver Surfer is going to be doing now that the fight is over.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The voice work for this was fantastic props to the VAs!
Yeah fr!
EXCELLENT,
It was as if I was listening to Carl Lumbly and Laurence Fishburne!
That was amazing! The animation and the voice acting was god tier. I don't even care who won it was just great to see such talent manifest itself better than any movie Hollywood puts out. The true winner was Deathbattle 🏆
"The animation was god tier"😶🤔🤨
I shedded a tear when MMH said "I hope can live with the uncertainty"
“Victory comes with no certain satisfaction, I may never know why we were made to fight, if violence is ever truly justified, then perhaps there is something worthy in the battle, something beyond my understanding” that line goes hard🔥🔥🔥
This is something that I'm sure many people can learn from. Including me
It might be a real quote they do that sometimes like in iron man vs lex Luther with the "all this time I've been playing human" line
The thrill of battle! The thrill of knowledge! The heart of a warrior! Those are what are worthy in battle!
@@murlocmaster6192 damn straight
And the whole reason for their fight: Just for our entertainment 😔
WE are the real monsters
Never thought and episode of DeathBattle would have the character who wins actually acknowledge that him killing his opponent is out of character for him
These two are probably the two individually kindest characters ever featured on death battle so it makes sense
His mental resistance evidentially let him at least question the death battle induced altered morality even of he couldn't shake it enough NOT to kill the martian
This was genuinely one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, because if you think about it, there's no genuine reason why they would fight, but they HAVE to for the sake of the Vs discussion. I hope someday Marvel and DC does a crossover, where these two simply have a conversation about life, the universe, and just existence.
⭐⭐⭐ STAR ⭐⭐⭐
tru
Well, it was either gonna be this or the wave, and that symbol was already revealed to be Stitch vs Rocket.
Admittedly, it _was_ kind of a coin flip between which of these two symbols correspond with both of these episodes considering.... you know... surfing involves the waves... Silver _Surfer_ ...., but still.
For all who have no idea:
This pinned message is the symbol that represents this matchup in GF stylised cipher wheel that many fans have caught in blink and you miss it moment from trailer for Season 10.
Later same wheel was seen in track art for Discord vs Bill halfway through the season and confirmed which matchup have happened.
Star represents their cosmic origins.
I suppose it could fit Galactus Unicron but I'll say with logics some of other ones were put i bet Pentagram is Galacron due to Unicron being literal Satan and in general pentagram is calling higher powers, those beings exactly like Galactus Unicron
(Gojo Makima not being pentagram makes them suits in this case)
Knew it
ok
I think this is the most existential Death Battle combatants have gotten regarding their situation outside of 4th wall breakers. I'm almost curious if this will come up again
Discord is about to go all Q on Bill Cipher.
It'll probably pop up next episode considering the two combatants involved.
Oh thats without question.
I mean, it makes so much sense.
I wonder how Wiz and Boom Stick are gonna react to another 4th wall breaker. Are we gonna see Pinkie Pie as well? Maybe even Deadpool?
That Justice League episode where Jonn goes home to Smallville for Christmas with Clark's family...the one where he's petting the cat in the window? The most impossibly heartwarming thing you've ever seen. Literally my favorite Christmas episode of any television show ever.
"Justice League", Season 2, Episode 23, "Comfort and Joy" (2003)
I love that episode. 'You mean SANTA wraps them in lead...'
The DCAU was so god damn good man. I'm slowly building my psychical release collection.
@@rumblepuss8848 Yes, yes it was. Literally the best versions of those characters outside of the comics.
You mean Santa wrapped them
Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer are both insanely powerful. They, however, are both hyper-aware of just how powerful they are, and are both intensely intelligent, so they would question the very purpose of them fighting each other, just as WizardLizard has already pointed out. However, I wouldn't rule out them wanting to spar in order to find each other's limits (or even if they HAD limits...which they may not!). I feel that they'd try to hold back in order to keep from destroying the entire universe.
This is a good fight because Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer are absurdly powerful but actually *more limited* than a lot of these high-level comic character throwdowns, in the sense that they cannot rewrite reality itself, yank people's souls out, or other metaphysical nonsense that got pulled out with the likes of Zatanna, Raven/Phoenix, Dr. Strange/Fate, etc. Manhunter and Silver Surfer are limited to one reality, one dimension. They can smash planets and endure impossible forces but they stop short of going full Calvinball.
This fight was beautiful not only the animation but how the characters felt during the fight and their thoughts almost made me cry.
The ending dialogue was so good. Honestly I wasn’t expecting too much of a fight because Surfer has this free. But that ending was perfect summarizing them both.
SS and MM came dangerously close to learning of the 4th wall there.
Surprised Deadpool didn't jump in there to risk that further
I just commented on pretty much exactly the smae thing! 😂 Amazing right! 🙌
@@tjjavierthat why dread pool comics exist, a comic where deadpool kills everyone
@@robloxianarmysoldier755 With his breaking the 4th wall ability, he literally could! 🙌
@@tjjavierNo he couldn't.. hes been beaten plenty of times and there is multiple weapons that can be used to actually kill Deadpool or at least incapacitate him permanently, there is no reason he should of killed any of the unkillable characters lol. Just Plot Armor, same with the rest of the ____ kills the Marvel Universe comics.
@@FreakingSpies Interesting! Thanks for the insight!
Two of the noblest beings of their respective universes fighting without ever truly knowing why...This fight made me a little sad.
I love how at the end of the song, the music draws heavily from The Silver Surfer's TV Theme
Something that strikes me in this fight is how, in the final exchange between Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer, they both acknowledge that they have no real reason to fight but need to anyways for reasons they don’t know, with Silver Surfer even commenting that he “may never know why they were made to fight” and that he didn’t want it to end like it did in the first place.
I take it as one of the few instances that shows that Wiz and Boomstick did simulate this fight, and that these two were the only combatants in the show thus far that were cosmically aware and enlightened enough to just barely be able to yet not quite recognize that fact, where only fourth wall breakers have been able to before in the shows history.
Wonder if the next battle is going to involve that in some way even if realistically the only fourth wall breaker between bill and discord is the one with both his eyes
@@creed8712Yeah
Only pinky pie and dead pool have ever escaped the power of death battle
@@henreymichelson True
I feel like they would both be really good friends without being forced to fight.
This was one of the most impressive, yet one the most depressing Death Battle ever. They're both near infinitely powerful beings with great cosmic and philosophical knowledge who had lost their entire civilization. It was going to be a bitter victory no matter who won.
Agreed
They should've been friends.
dude, in every single episode everyone says the same thing "they would have been friends". Well duh, that is the point, it's a death battle that selects two combatants that have similar life experiences and personalities. Of course 98% of them would be friends@@waterbullstudios9195
A tragedy to be sure.
@@waterbullstudios9195 if they were not forced to fight to death by a weird internet show to entertain a few people, the would have become friends
I think this is the best one.
Everything from the black and white TV detective show opener to the philosophical characterisation to the tragic ending for the greatest hero in comics!
10/10 Death Battle. Well done!
MM: TELL ME YOUR SECRETS
SS:NOOOO
*FIGHT STARTS*
I like that it wasn't just a bombastic super-brawl, they were quite...reserved? It really fit their personalities-and what a poignant display of their power that they REALIZED THEY WERE IN A DEATH BATTLE VIDEO AND THEY HAD NO REAL REASON TO KILL EACH OTHER, BUT STILL HAD TO.
It was like a sadder version of most of deadpool's battles (especifically the one vs the mask).
it kinda feels like they set up J'onn to die but actually played for drama.
@@ianr.navahuber2195 The sadder thing about this whole fight is that had these two actually met each other they would just be friends.
Martian Manhunter turned into a Dragon and sliced apart a planet lol
@@Balloushop13yeah they'd immediately just be chill with each other.
@@spiceweasel He only did that cause Surfer dodged the attack.
This feels less like an average battle, and more like a love letter to two amazing underrated characters.
best comment has down
you know.... i love that way you put that
It really didn't feel like much of a battle that's for sure.
I love the intensity of the dialogue that's you guys have been inserting lately. It's Dope and adds a lot more flavor to the battles. Keep it up! 💯
this is a top 3 death battle in my opinion and i've been watching for way over a decade. this gave me so many goosebumps
Seeing such noble souls fight each other is a tragedy and really pulls at the heartstrings
It would have been something if SS blasted MM to the barest possible collection of atoms before death while his speech was going on, and then changed his mind and allow MM to regenerate having secured the win. While going on about defying the forces compelling them to fight.
That ending. This might’ve been… one of the most thought provoking Death Battles in a LONG time. Wow…
Its not that deep kid
@@OrphanPuncherfun police says wee wooo wee woo
@@OrphanPuncher that name, that pfp and those words.
I'm not even gonna say anything.
Silver surfer is definitely pro life
@@TheIdentityBoothnice.
MM is one of my top three of all time and I just love the way he does things in such a perfect way.
That was probably the best battle this show has made. Kudos to you guys!
Both of them being aware of Death Battle and knowing one of them has to die is heartbreaking
I love how this entire fight didn't feel like two brick houses crashing into each other, but a display of the two's train of thought and mentality. It highlighted their tragedies in their life, rather than the powers they hold back due to their respect for the living. It gave light to the mental pain that they've suffered for who knows how long, and the ending was the icing on the cake.
While some of us probably wanted more action, this battle is unique in a lot of ways. Probably one of the best endings to a battle, too.
Yeah, it was very refreshing and unique.
I loved it
this is really beautiful , this is not just about super power but the battle of knowledge and philosophy
This wasn't a battle... This was art
I love how they focused primarily on both sides' philosophical natures. They're both crazy powerful but it's not like we've never seen this level of power on the show before, so focusing on what makes these two unique lets the episode, and especially that ending, stand out from all the other comic book herald throwdowns.
This DB wasn't as action-packed. But very poignant and contemplative. I had to watch it twice to really appreciate it.
I mean it WAS action-packed but there was more meaning and thoughtfulness to it all than anything else truly!
Definitely my thoughts as well. Both were deeply philosophical and the end fit them perfectly, it might not have been the most action packed but definitely suit the characters brilliantly
Same. The best written period
Top 3 best episodes you guys have made for sure. The analysis, the battle, the visuals and omg the dialogue!
Next battle on September 11th is crazy
Imagine Silver Surfer, Martian Manhunter, and Dr Manhattan having a whole interaction
On the next DB....Debate Boardroom!
Dr.Manhattan is the most violent of them all though despite him being so reserved.
@Gadget-Walkmen Violent, yes. But only because he's so emotionally detached compared to the other two.
@@lazaroskarmaniolas7410 And if they both worked together they could probably re attach him.

This wasn’t made by numbers but by heart amen to the writing on this.
They should have put MM vs Vision. This was supposed to be a one sided stomp. And the fight showed it. MM didn’t even phase surfer. Should have put surfer vs dr manhattan
@@wintergreen8393 I'm sorry, MM vs Vision sounds infinitely more boring lol, and Surfer Vs Manhattan sucks as well. Save Manhattan for Nixon (Monument Mythos)
@@wintergreen8393both of these are even bigger stomps and they make less sense
@@N_o196 Like president Nixon?
This, along with some of the preamble of GalactusVSUnicron and the scenario/ending of DiscordVSCipher is some of my absolute favourite death battle content.
I like the way the questioning of the ethics/purpose of death battle being justified or not is brought up and implicated as another source of Unicron's power.
I love how both this fight and the Discord one they had the loser win in a way, though here it's more them finding kinship in their shared fate of being pitted against eachother, which really is a horrifying concept. Trapped together in a pocket dimension and made to fight someone you don't even know to the death, and lacking the 4th wall abilities that has so far proven the only way to escape it really is a grim fate. It's essentially making the premise of the show the antagonist.
23:08 Perfect upload date
Genuinely a heartbreaking ending. Haven’t felt this bad since Johnathan vs Tanjiro. The actor for J'onn sounded so much like Carl Lumbly. Incredible.
I'm glad that they realized that the only way to justify these two fighting is to have them not know why they're fighting. In a lot of cases, the hero vs hero battles are a bit forced, especially since most heroes don't straight-up kill people. This battle straight-up says, "Yeah, there's no real reason why they're fighting all-out to the death. We aren't even going to try to justify it with some convoluted scenario." Which is how it should be in this case, since these two deserve that respect.
You bumped into me on the street! Let's fight to the death and destroy this city in the process!
the way this episode was handled was by far one of the best representations i've seen
Fun fact: Dr Pepper actually WAS a doctor but he had nothing to do with the drink named after him. Lol.
This is legitimately the best written fight that y'all have put out. Well friggin' done!
Yea, they both were super in character, even though they killed each other.
they didn't even bring in silver surfer with mjolnir. woulda been crazy
Yall just gonna sleep on deadpool and pinkie pie??
@@Jaronekvword. Or the gauntlet. Lol.
It was short and boring. This is legitimately the worst written fight that they have put out.

One of the best battle animations from Death Battle, if not THE best.
Best part of death battle
This was a masterpiece keep goin guys 👏
Genuinely a heartbreaking ending. Haven’t felt this bad since Johnathan vs Tanjiro. The voice work for this was fantastic props to the VAs!.
Just remembering that yellow sunlight overdrive yell gives me goosebumps. This episode was lovely for it's soft ending .
The last ones have been hitting just as hard in a badass way e.g Darth Vader vs Obito
Though Guts vs Dimitri was just too damn cool. Dimitri's " You DEMONS will NOT have his soul" after their battle and him going to fight for Guts was just Magnificent
ARE THE WRITERS OK ??? Do you guys want to talk about it ? That was genuinely messed up and sad :(
17:44 its the bill cypher shown from the cutaway in bill cyoher vs discord!!
I always found Red Tornado and Vision incredibly similar... both to each other and to Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer
Marvel's original alien Vision (Aarkus) inspired the creation of the Martian Manhunter.
Excellent episode. MM and SS are pretty kind-hearted for not trying to kill each other, but in the end it is how it is. Overall, it was an impressive yet depressing Death Battle
I always liked MM but I was a SS fan. After this I have gained a massive respect for MM and the writers of his stories. Both characters embody some of the best parts of comics, so thank you for showcasing these amazing characters. Research aside, the dialogue in his episode's battle was absolutely genuine to the characters, great job!
Your are a fan of the SS? outch
What a beautiful animation. So many references and such a magnificent duel
This dialogue for the fight was absolutely outstanding. The fight itself may not be the best one but the story it told is one of the best hands down.
"Victory Comes with No Satisfaction, I may never know why we were made to fight, If violence is ever truly justified but perhaps there is something Worthy in the battle"
The way that Line was Delivered with the combination of the music in the background don't tell me I wasn't the only one who Shed a Tear 😢
I almost cried (I really couldn't hear it that well because my sisters were being very loud)
This may have been the best Death Battle I have ever seen
I’d love to see a triple a fight of these two
That final bit of meditation the two of them shared before the end was legitimately beautiful. Hats off to the writers, voice actors, animators, and everyone really.
Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer literally throwing shade at Death Battle in the nicest way possible. Like two of the nicest dudes just questioning why they're even fighting each other. Also, nice reference to AVGN and the Silver Surfer game.
What was the reference?
@@Trebolt Watch AVGN's review of the Silver Surfer game on NES, all will become clear
@@Trebolt The Silver Surfer game is referenced in 18:39 and 18:59
@@Trebolt- The shot of SS laying on the surfboard with his head down comes from the infamously terrible Silver Surfer NES game
I think the part where they briefly clash in the Sun even also references the Clash System in Injustice 2.
Boomstick stumbling over Mxyzptlk's name wasn't something I knew I needed until I had it.
Even though J'onn lost, this episode showed a level of respect for him that I don't see very often. What a great video for an underrated character.
Bullsh** they should have put him against vision to make it more fair this was yet another free win just like Bane Vs Venom and Batman vs Spider-Man booster gold vs cable I can go on.
@@wintergreen8393 Cope, seethe, mald.
@@wintergreen8393 Manhunter vs. Vision isn't even close to a fair matchup... Viz isn't ANYWHERE near MM's power level. It would be a massacre.
@@WarpedLordthey have way more similarities than surfer and MM. and if you knew comics, you’d know vision ain’t no joke either and would give him a serious run for his money. Their roles for the avengers and the JL is why they should face off stomp or not.
@@wintergreen8393fair? Are you high? It would be a free win for dc.
The ending of the fight isn't sad because one combatant died, but because of Silver Surfer wondering why they had to fight, and if it was worth it.
A phyrric victory
It was sad because they should have never even fought 😂😂surfer is leagues above J’onn, DB team is being lazy right now. MM should have faced vision and surfer vs dr Manhattan. I have no idea who at the DB team stood up and said “OOH! You know who would be a perfect fit to fight surfer! Martian manhunter” 😂😂😂I mean this season is just a joke. Raven never beats Phoenix either. Antman never beats atom either. These people don’t know comics whatsoever
@@wintergreen8393damn, it's almost like they do these for fun, and not for it to be an end all be all situation.
@@brentjones905 at least be true to the comics when doing a marvel vs dc fight. Flash vs quicksilver is a stomp but quicksilver is the closest thing to flash marvel has. Mm and SS aren’t even similar and SS clears him. Ss could solo the justice league on his own,. But they made him face one of the many JL members
@@wintergreen8393 him soloing the justice league I don't see happening. Majority of them, for sure. Booster gold may be an issue for him though. Also I feel like from what comics I've read, it's a very simplified generalization of the two characters so they can't be as in depth as they could be or would like to be when comparing two characters. Also Ive seen you say that mm would good against vision, and id disagree and say he'd be great against red tornado. But that's just me. Also, there's only so much comparisons they can do when talking them both up without making it blatantly obvious ones getting curbstomped. Unless it was like the spongebob Aquaman fight when they said it At the end of the analysis for Aquaman.
“F*** your name, that’s whatever” I felt that spiritually 😂
What a great episode guys fantastic justice to these awesome characters
A Marvel vs DC episode, sponsored by One Piece. Wha an ambitious crossover
I mean, not too outlandish considering Marvel and DC have done a crossover before and DC even had a comic book crossover with RWBY.
This has to be some of the best sprite/2d work you all have done on a death battle yet. Props to everybody involved here!
it was brooding
Silver Surfer flex.
