I mean, people also had a problem with how Metal was written as in he just talks like a robot even saying "error error" as he dies which isn't Metal. So it's not really the research itself, it was how Metal was represented as a whole that rubbed people the wrong way. The poor research and misinfo was just also sadly part of it. And you know that's kinda how it goes when people heavily disagree with something. No one really talked about the actual fight in Omnidock when that dropped, everything was about the results. That's kinda how it goes when there's a controversial result like that. And like. Again. You act like Death Battle themselves would just have Cell get his shit rocked for the whole animation. Hell, they'd probably just have him be winning the whole time until Metal just kills him, they kind of have a bad habit with that.
Yes but my point is the vast majority of the comments were ignoring the effort and other positive qualities the episode had, not all of them, hell I even saw someone mention no one was talking about the quality and someone outright said it was hard to focus on the quality when the research is so blatantly bad, which just feels incredibly disrespectful to the creator, also my complaint is less with how death battle might handle it and more my overall experience with how the matchup has been handled by others, and it looks like despite what everyone says, at least a very good portion of the appeal of this matchup for people is metal beating cell
Just saying “cool fight” is kinda reductive, there are plenty of cool moments throughout the fight that you can mention and talk about (the intro, the different styles like the manga style, cell using moves he never got to use in the main series) there ARE things you can talk about but almost no one was willing to purely because of the verdict
If all the good moments are just "well there's this moment in the fight" then it is just cool fight. And like... that's stuff people want in Cell Metal anyways tbf.
So can every db episode be summed up by “cool fight” and have that be the end of it then? Usually people actually discuss what they liked about it rather than just saying “it was cool” and that’s it
I mean, the analysis are also well written, but most people focus more on the fight, hell people couldn’t stop talking about just the animation of bowser vs eggman for literal months, so I don’t see the problem with mostly talking about moments in the animation
I mean Cell and Metal's are fine and the ending analysis is just bad cause of the actual misinfo about Metal. And yeah that's cause it was animation and not fanfic. There's generally more to talk about thanks to one being eye candy and the other being smth you have to read the whole time minus chatafter dialogue.
