[Blind Reaction] Death Battle - Bill Cipher vs Discord 

Yeah, but not for a long while

@@davidlussier8316 Yeah, true. Though Bill will be trapped for just as long, if not longer. Given it was broadcasted, not many will fall for his deals.

​@@davidlussier8316But he can time travel, so that's not a problem

even sooner if his friends decide to help

@@FieryMeltmanBill is acausal and in weirdmageddon time stops so no

Ye

nah 🦍

Bill won the Death Battle, but Discord won the war for Equestria.

@@greattheshark7899 ok bru

@@DIEFORME173 How is it coping? Bill killed Discord. By the rules of Death Battle, the triangle won. But Bill didn't get what he wanted, and that's a pyrrhic victory. If Bill ever manages to make his way back to the land of ponies, there won't be a Discord to stop him a second time.

Hm. One point from his initial appearance in the show (which I've heard was written a bit before it overreached its original design); Discord knows how to recognize and work with the narrative of a story. As the villain-of-the-week on a children's show, from the very moment he escaped there was no real chance of this ending without him being either imprisoned or killed. With the limited time of a two-part special available, he did every single thing right: enjoyed himself while being entertaining enough, interesting enough, and relatively harmless enough that in a show stressing friendship and forgiveness he'd inevitably get released again due to audience demand. So here he has to either kill Bill and sell it to the Gravity Falls audience, or he has to get killed - under his own terms, in a way that screws Bill over as much as possible, and in a way he's pretty guaranteed to come back from after a while but will be off-camera so it doesn't matter for the show's premise. (Similarly to how Dante vs. Bayonetta ends with Dante having screwed himself over until he figures out how to bring her back: he can and will do it, but it's off camera.) Becoming a ghost and entering Bill's mind does expose him but it also guarantees the "all-seeing god" is going to be looking inwards too long to pay any attention to his surroundings. At the meta level, this is pretty smart.

I think they might've taken some liberties just for the sake of telling a story. And honestly, I think the episode benefits from it. Sure, it might not be accurate, but I think it's more thematically fitting.

They literally explain the reasons in the black boxes. You are just salty.

Still shows that he can beat him.

i believe the official verdict was "canon, until directly contradicted by the show". so yeah, some comics directly conflict with the show and thus can be safely dismissed. most are canon though.

youtube-dl has more functionality than youtube's own downloading feature. It's harder to use, but once you get the hang of it, it's better. Ads are not a problem with Ublock Origin. They're doing a great job at swiftly defeating each of youtube's feeble attempts to stop adblockers.

Exactly
