Ben 10 vs Green Lantern is the most hated Death Battle episode of all time, but what gave it so much vitriol, and was it justified?
Ben 10 vs Green Lantern is the sixth episode of Death Battle season 6. When the episode was announced, many people were under the assumption that Ben was going to stomp, but then the episode aired and it swiftly became the most hated Death Battle episode due to its verdict, ending, and poor research. It received so much backlash that it spawned a debunk video by Kuro the Artist, aka the Ink Tank, which became the most-viewed Death Battle debunk video of all time.
In this video, we will be going analyzing the Ben 10 vs Green Lantern episode. We will be covering what it did right, what it did wrong, why the conclusion is flawed, and many aspects of the aftermath. The aftermath will include the fans' reactions to the ending, the episode's Q&A, and Kuro's trilogy on the Death Battle episode.
This will go over how Ben 10 vs Green Lantern became the most hated Death Battle episode.
And remember, NO MOSS WILL SLOW ME DOWN

*Please read before commenting* I've been getting a lot of great and insightful comments, so to everyone being civil, props to you. That said, I made a follow-up video addressing a few of the criticisms because this video really needed more time in the oven: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lVhHddtPY_A.html Now I'll address a few smaller things I've been seeing: "You were way too aggressive towards Kuro" You're right. Even though I said multiple times that I respect Kuro and have no beef with him, my tone was actively saying the opposite. I won't excuse it. I will take the L. "Isn't Goku vs Superman more hated?" You could argue that its impact is bigger since it literally spawned the existence of Death Battle debunk videos, and they even have more dislikes (even if it's by virtue of having way more views), but in terms of like-dislike ratios, Ben vs GL's is technically worse, currently having a 56% ratio as opposed to the other episodes having at least 90k more likes when compared to their dislikes. Ultimately, it's up to you, but I can definitely see that. I'll accept buying into clickbait, though, as I did want that snazzy title. "Hal going back in time to kill Ben is such a low blow, especially since it was Kid Ben when it should've been Teen Ben" Again, I'm right there with you. However, the reason why I didn't address it is that they didn't want to have a third "explosion death" in a row and wanted to go with something more creative for once, so I chose to base my criticisms around that and what it should've looked like. Then again, an explosion death probably should've been used regardless, but whatever. As for Teen Ben, refer to what I said about the available sprites. Now for a couple of other points: 1. I agree that the ending with Hal going back in time would not actually work. The only reason I didn't mention it in the video is because I forgot to bring it up. My b. I've also gotten comments from people saying that it's a low blow. That's also something I can agree with. 2. Just in case I need to mention this, too, I have nothing against Death Battle debunks. When I say "it's unfair to criticize the episode for outside factors", that's only in the context of reviewing the full episode. Debunks are meant to tackle the research and arguments that Death Battle is using and doesn't take any other aspect of the episode into account (unless if they mention how the animation contradicts a point they made in the conclusion), so on that front, it's fair to use outside factors. I feel like I should've made a distinction between reviewing an episode and debunking it, and I didn't think about it until the last minute, but I had no time to work it in the video somewhere. Anyways, links that I mentioned earlier.

if i may? the time travel thing mostly likely WOULD work based on in series ben 10 rules. two of his villains have used it against him (one in the show, and one in the comics) and even with clockwork's powers, ben couldn't tell the difference between someone being vaporised and someone being sent back in time. in a less lethal capacity, ben's altered his own present at least twice onscreen.

@dmwanderer9454 10 месяцев назад

Not only did Ben lose, he died in the exact 1 way that would be IMPOSSIBLE to use against him. Alien X can follow Time Waves from Time travel, similar to how Flash can follow Time Travelers, and Hal using a giant pair of scissors was something Vilgax tried EXACTLY and the Omnitrix prevents SPECIFICALLY.

@Vindication1134 10 месяцев назад

The omnitrix only prevents instant death or removal of the omnitrix itself, not limb amputation.

@ravwoofles3858 10 месяцев назад

@@Vindication1134The series doesn't give a definitive answer on what doesn't constitute a threat to Ben, besides obviously things that have zero chance of killing him. However, the Omnitrix often acts in a way that seems like it has intent, and understands the current intent of outside forces (in writing terms it's a limited but powerful form of plot armor); which is why Vilgax was using a specific machine to remove the watch without actually providing a deadly threat to Ben the moment it would have been removed, and only planned on harming Ben after. Therefore Green lantern could have been amputated, but he also would need to intend to stop the bleeding. So I do think there's ways green lantern could have won and honestly I can't even be bothered to be mad at who wins in the end. What did bother me was that it was obviously clear that both parties definitely did not fight to the full extent of their abilities, and the fight ended with a cheap shot that was easily preventable by Ben. Be it that the either Alien X followed Hal, or that the Omnitrix; sensing Ben's distress at something about to cut off his arm, assumes deadly force is about to be inflicted and turns Ben into an Alien that can either be alright without an arm; like Swampfire, or is too durable to cut. I can accept that they were limited by time and resources when it came to actually showing what a full on fight between the two would look like, but don't make the ending something that can be disproved by two minutes of research.

@magnusm4 10 месяцев назад

Simply reading Alien X's wiki powers explain why everyone hated the ending. "Alien X can survive a timeline destruction" meaning even if he killed young Ben. The future Ben as Alien X would still exist. Also Alien X can technically time travel himself, it's basically god mode in sandbox on drugs, hard drugs. Surviving the destruction of a universe and creating one itself. So Lantern time traveling could also be applied to Alien X following him or simple reversing back to before he told him etc. Time travel is a bag of worms you shouldn't use when it applies to both parties. Cause it's a dumb and very contrived.

@liamdealmeida9914 10 месяцев назад

@@Yes_nugget While both are powerful, they just can't compete with someone on Hal Jordan's level. Most of Alien X's abilities won't work on Hal, GL has been shown to resist similar abilities from much more powerful characters, whether it's Pre/Post-Crisis, New52 or Rebirth Hal. Alien X being able to "do literally anything", means what? He has matter and time manipulation, erasure, mind control and transmutation, maybe reality warping (GL has most of these too)? These abilities are fairly common and usually (except for time manip), scale to the user, meaning they more often than not, won't work on someone massively more powerful eg. Giorno (JoJo's) or Gilgamesh (Fate) would have better luck (aka causality manipulation) than Lucky Girl (Gwen) or King (OPM), to the point where they can dictate what happens opposed to it just being luck to them. A better example is how mind control from someone like Puppet Master didn't work on Hulk but it worked much better from Xemnu or Thanos. Stopping time means absolutely nothing because GL has immeasurable speed, so he can travel through time with raw speed alone, I'm pretty sure he even has irrelevant speed though, but you only need inaccessible speed to move during stopped time. I don't recall Hal having age manipulation resistance, but he can also age things, someone aged a tree to a stump with a replica of his ring and he once aged himself into being an old man and casually managed to de-age himself back to normal. I'd imagine he does have resistance to it, seeing that other lanterns haven't used this ability on each other, he just allowed it to happen to himself. Even if he didn't, he is just infinitely more powerful and faster so it doesn't matter. Ben is a statue in comparison, so Hal speed blitzes and one-shots/erases him before he can even use the move. If it does hit him, he just reverses the effects. I'm not sure if you're familiar with all this power scaling jargon, which is understandable, you're not expected to as long as you're respectful. If you need me to elaborate on stuff, I'll do my best to explain. I can understand why people would believe Ben wins but he just hasn't done much that Hal hasn't dealt with or anything that can put him anywhere near most JL members in power. To put the power gap into perspective, Alien X is probably at low complex multiversal, so 4D to 6D, each dimension is more than infinitely above the previous one. Hyperversal starts at 12D and can go on to infinite dimensional, so ♾D. You can then go above this by being outerversal, above the concept of dimensions as a whole and there are still levels to this. While Hal isn't an outerversal being in nature, he has outerversal attack potency (power) and durability meaning he can destroy outerversal structures. If you want any proof of Hal being at this level I'll find some examples and use some chain-scaling.

As someone who had been watching kuro since his first video, based on some stuff he has said in the past, I believe that the reason he said he'd rather than death battle "never touched the character" is less so because of any of his feelings and more because it forced him to make those 3 videos. In a lot of videos he has said that he actually doesn't really know or care that much about powerscaling and mainly just wanted to give ben 10 some respect that he felt he lacked (which is something I appreciated back when I discovered his channel too because I also felt like I couldn't comfortably talk about this show I've loved for half my childhood up until kuro's efforts). The bad part of kuro becoming the accidental ambassador of the ben 10 community is that he ended up feeling forced to address and respond to any issue the fandom had even if it was something he didn't necessarily wanted to do, the death battle videos being one of those, I believe he initially didn't even want to make any videos on it or more than 1 video on it so by the end of the third he felt that the harm the episode caused to him by indirectly making him make videos he didn't really want to outweighed the parts he liked and just wished it hadn't happened so that he wouldn't have made those videos.

I believe that in that period of time where he wasn't making videos he probably realized that being the go-to content creator for ben 10 didn't make him automatically accountable for any random community drama he may or may not want to invest time into.

@chaosbug7 10 месяцев назад

The entire Ben 10 vs GL debacle was an undeniable mess. The episode itself is average at best with some considerable flaws that caused the backlash that it did. For starters, the overall analysis for both characters was fine. It did a pretty decent job at summarizing the characters, what they were about, and a basic rundown of their abilities. The animation though is where the issues start rearing their ugly head. With the animation itself, I think it’s cohesive enough & the animators did a great job. The sound design was also well done. The directive choices of the fight is what I take issue with. First off, I understand why they chose to represent Ben with his kid model. It’s the most iconic & recognizable look he has. Considering his opponent though, it might’ve been better to use Teenage Ben; as you avoid the controversy of a full-grown adult offing a kid if he won. The next issue is the choreography of the overall fight. The fight up to Alien X is good. You get to see a variety of powers from both sides, fun interactions, and some quirks from both combatants. When Alien X arrives however; we start getting interpretations of both characters that are very inaccurate to their portrayals & the fight starts becoming unbelievable. The fight ends with GL using an ability he isn’t known for having before he finishes off a kid in a way that makes 0 sense & is very disrespectful to his opponent, which is also completely out of character for Hal; Killing restrictions removed from their personality or not. The final 2 nails in the coffin comes from the closing analysis. For starters, the closing remarks were super vague about how GL managed to secure a win, and it left me as well as the audience unsatisfied with the conclusion. What’s worse, the actual good arguments for why GL could feasibly win was left to be answered in a Q&A segment, because Deathbattle couldn’t be bothered to do a lengthy explanation for why they chose a winner overall. Leaving your strongest arguments out of an episode is just a bad judgment call. All that said, I’m actually glad this episode got as much flack as it did. It was a needed wakeup call for the team. Since this episode, I feel the team takes the debate aspect as well as showing off characters in a more accurate light (in most cases). They’ve certainly gotten better, and in matchups that are far messier to decide a winner, (Take DIO vs Alucard for instance), they take their time and address every possibility for why they went with their winner & made sure all the possible bases are covered. I honestly believe Deathbattle would not be as polished as it is today if episodes like Ben vs GL didn’t kick them in the pants & the team didn’t take valid criticism to heart. If you read through this long winded post, I honestly thank and applaud you for doing so.

@vorrdegard2176 9 месяцев назад

@DJPrimeAmvs 10 месяцев назад

My take: 1.Presentation: Even though Death Battle goes with the peak version of a character or sometimes a composite version for some reason they decided to use young Ben as their representative instead of Omniverse Ben. This also follows into the aliens they use since a majority of them use Classic Ben designs instead of a custom or Omniverse which makes it very confusing for those who arent aware than Ben is 17 years old canonically at the end of the origonal series. 2. The line up of aliens: Way Big and Alien X made sense. Four Arms as a starter to grasp the difference in strength was fine and so was Heatblast. But we didnt get guys like Atomix, Chromastone, Upchuck or Feedback, aliens that they listed off as some of his best picks that didnt even show up to make things interesting. The fight only really got good once he went Way Big. 3. Logic: Even if you were to say Ben was to lose to Hal the fact they completely ignored the failsafe that stops the wearer from dying was complete crap. A better option would be to make the omnitrix go into self-destruct mode then stop Ben from turning it off so that he blows himself up. And this is ignoring the worse moment of the fight where Hal just time travels and Alien X just lets it happen without a fight he doesnt follow him and fight in the time stream or just pulls a Bite za dusto. It was just stupid for the sake of an ending.

And you literally just pulled the ultimate no limits fallacy by claiming Alien X can't be harmed by anything, Just because nothing in Ben 10 is powerful enough to harm in (which is questionable itself but that's not important right now) that doesn't mean other characters who have greater feats than him can't. It doesn't matter that he's the god tier in a verse filled with mere universal reality warpers. His feats are so pathetic compared to what Hal has pulled off. This is the same argument Saitama fans use. Battles are about feats, not how cool someone looks whenever they show up.

@calvinkopp1735 9 месяцев назад

There are just so many plot holes with this. First of all, the Omnitrix will instantly activate its failsafes against it’s removal and death of it’s owner, so what makes Death Battle think Hal could bypass this? Also, Present Ben as Alien X would chase after Hal after he time traveled to the past via Sotobro Effect and stop him from killing Past Ben (which is impossible because of anti-death failsafes.) Even if somehow Hal did kill Past Ben, it’s still pointless as Present Ben would still be alive and kicking as Alien X because Celestialsapiens aren’t affected by time and space at all. And according to Paradox in Omniverse, every time you travel to the past you only create a branch of new timelines, therefore leaving the original timelines unchanged. You see there are just so many plot holes and it would so much more for Ben to simply negate Hal’s ring, blink him out instantly and be done with it.

@saucymongoose7246 10 месяцев назад

As a MASSIVE Ben 10 fan, it's not so much that Ben lost as it is how he lost, the expectation for why he lost, and who he lost to. I'm going to start by explaining how he lost. This just applies to the animation. It's very obvious why there was such a backlash. Having Hal travel back to the beginning of the fight was a cheap and anticlimactic way of winning. In addition, it goes against how time travel works in both the DC and Ben 10 universe. So regardless if either character goes back in time to kill there opponents past self this does nothing but creates a new timeline in which there original selfs are unaffected. Now it's time for the dreaded Green Scissors. The fail safe should have activated when Hal goes back in time and cuts Ben's wrist. The energy feedback that protects Ben doesn't have a cooldown, and the Omnitrix will turn Ben into an Alien who will protect/save him."But Hal's constructs move faster than..."Blah blah blah the animation didn't elude to that and that's exactly the problem. The animation has to matter. A good amount of people who watch Death Battle watch for the animation and so it needs to be a more proper representation of both characters and there abilities and it needs to be conveyed as accurately as possible. Now, the explanation for Ben's loss. It was written poorly. I'm not going to go into detail (partly because I'm lazy and I'm writing this on my lunch break and you go into better detail than I could), but here's the bare minimum. All they had to say was Hal was faster and had more experience fighting Omnipotent entities, and they removed all of the fluff about Ben playing catch up and his aliens not being able to accomplish (insert feat here.) I could go on and on about how they didn't calculate or mention any of Ben's more powerful aliens and their feats, or what they got wrong about Alien X, or how they downplayed Ben or how I didn't like Ben's representation in the fight or how the episode at times felt like nostalgia pandering to me during Ben's anyslsis but none of that matters because of my last point. This was a completely unequal match-up, which is why I disliked it so much.This is something that anime fans bring up when a DC/Marvel character beats an anime character on DB, and it's that DC and Marvel characters have an unfair advantage because they have multiple comics, different authors, multiple different timelines and alternative versions, and they've been around for so long. Most non-DC/Marvel characters have a single source of origin and a smaller pool of writers. In the case of Ben 10, the franchise is only 17 years old, but DC and Marvel have characters that have been around for more than 40 years. For myself and many others, rooting for our favorite to win against these characters is pointless because DC/Marvel characters are simply built different. They have a lot of power creep. I wouldn't have minded if Ben had lost against someone on his level, but he didn't. Lanturns are broken. Honestly I hate being reminded of this fight and yeah I have no problem saying this is my least favorite DB and it's not because Ben lost it's because he never stood a chance to begin with so there was no point being excited for this match up in addition to the fight being ( and I hate using this word) mid. The peak was Hal vs Heatblast imo and everything afterwards just being meh. Both characters have creative powers and both characters don't do anything interesting with them in the fight. All around good analysis video. If you have feedback or a different opinion I'd love to talk.

@ShadwSonic 10 месяцев назад

I believe the big reason Ben 10 v Green Lantern was so disliked, even if previous episodes had incorrect conclusions, is that the other episodes all _seemed_ to be good arguments. If the only things you knew were what DB showed, then most of the time one could leave an episode thinking "yeah, that makes sense". The rematch of Mario v Sonic did NOT have this, and even seemed to ignore very good points in the original that had Sonic win, so people didn't like that remake... but hey, they aren't _that_ far apart, so it's not so blatant. That basically had boiled down to "they counter each other in everything but speed, and we all know Sonic's faster", a take that was not sufficiently overturned but still means they're close. Here though? Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING in the episode apart from the official conclusion, was screaming that Ben is the winner. They did a Q+A later? Irrelevant. That's not the episode, and most people aren't even going to pay attention to it. As for points you brought up about Ink's analysis, while the reasoning behind Hal outspeeding the failsafe seems sound, it does nothing without the opportunity, and per DB rules, he can't know enough to have that opportunity beforehand. They got around that by time travel, but the arguments for the Sotobro Effect make it pretty clear that, no, that's not an option. I know you claimed that said effect might have been exaggerated, but that was one claim, not directed at Ink's coverage of it specifically, and gave no counter-explanation... so I have to assume Ink was right on that point.

@AwesomeMooseSmile 7 месяцев назад

I feel like a major reason people were dissatisfied with the results is that this episode felt disrespectful towards Ben 10 considering this episode was released around the height of Ben 10's popularity in vs discussions only for death battle to go "oh the guy who you consider to be stronger than superman? Nah, his ass can't even beat Green Lantern" without really explaining it properly. That's the thing, there are plenty of newer episodes where they took characters the internet believes to be invincible, only to have them lose, like Archie Sonic and Saitama, the difference is that those episodes had a satisfying explanation as to why those characters lost, the biggest example I can think of being in Flash vs Sonic, I fully expected Sonic to win. The difference is, the conclusion made perfect sense, so after listening to it I went "yeah, that makes sense" and gained a new appreciation for Wally West. In this they went "nah, Ben 10 isn't that powerful, he's not even universal in the absolute worst reasoning ever, and all those super OP abilities he has? Pshhhh, no big deal, they just won't work". They didn't go into full detail on valid reasons why GL would win (which I do believe) like lantern rings being the most complex technology ever, way more advanced than the omnitrix, Green Lantern's ability onto HOW he could get around the failsafes, and his experience with celestial beings beyond alien x. Basically, instead of bringing GL up, it felt like they were putting Ben 10 down, and with their incredibly faulty reasonings, it also made them look super non credible. VS debates are subjective, yes, but you still need valid reasons as to why a character won or lost. It's why, despite disagreeing with a lot of episodes like Hulk VS Broly, I can at least respect and understand where they're coming from and hold it much higher than an episode like Frieza vs Megatron or this one, which I still agree with the results, but their reasonings were so bad I view the episode in a bad light. I do understand why the verdict does mean so much to a lot of people, and to me personally, while it's not the biggest contributing factor of enjoyment, it still is a big one, whether that be objective reasonings like reasonable conclusions, or subjective ones like my preferred character not getting their ass kicked. Obviously it's not the only thing I value, otherwise a season as great as season ten would be my least favorite season due to how often my preferred character lost this season, but at the end of the day, death battle asks a question of who would win in the fight, and in that regard, the thesis does have understandable importance, and if someone has major issues with it, then it's perfectly reasonable why they are unhappy with the whole episode. Like I said though, in the end, it's not the only thing that matters, and I wouldn't even say it's the most important thing, otherwise an episode with a terrible verdict and conclusion, but everything else being great like Frieza vs megatron would be an episode I hate more than Korra VS storm, which is my actual least favorite episode of death battle, despite the verdict being the only thing about the episode that isn't absolute fucking dogshit.

an author has claimed that ben's universe is infinite in size, but that's a shakey claim since we've seen the edge of it, and an infinite universe wouldn't have a big bang. however, if we assume that it is true, we'd have to use the same claims about dc's universe. since hal can not only scan the entire universe instantly and even fly from the center past the edge in the space of a single sentence, that'd still make him faster thanks to the smaller timeframe., especially since the universe being much older would mean it had expanded more.

I was one of the people that disliked the episode on release but have soften up to it. The reasoning for my hate and maybe others is because Ben represented western animation and was the 2nd Cartoon Network character to appear in a show primarily dominated by combatants from Anime, Comics, and Video games. So seeing representation from my favorite cartoon reignited a spark in me as I didn't even consider Ben 10 for a Death Battle, but him losing made me let emotion rule out reason.

I think the main problem people had was not THAT ben lost. But HOW ben lost. - A one sided time-travel strike is a cheap win, when both sides can time travel. - Detachment without the omnitrix reacting goes against multiple instances where the omnitrix reacts to preceived acts of detachment even before being touched. - The omnitrix not being autonomous when attached to Bens DNA is also directly contradicted by the show itself since his hand (despite still being linked to him, meaning it is not just autonomous but actually can overwrite Bens command) is actually controlled by the omnitrix. - And one of the most creative power switchers with the transformation that has the most diverse skilset goes full goku and just punches really hard. That does not show insight into the character. That shows they had a severe, and I mean SEVERE lack of research going into bens side. Would these factors change the outcome of the fight? I don't think so. But would it make the fight end on a better note? Absolutely. [A small gripe about your video tho: The Argument that people who point out bias are biased sounds good ... and that is where it ends. It is nonsense and you are better off not using phrases which get a pass only because they sound good but add zero value to the conversation and stigmitises a very legitimate concern. You are better than that.]

@mauricereticau6292 9 месяцев назад

1. Ben has never time traveled without the help of either other people or devices. If Ben could time travel, he would have no need for the time cycles in "End of an era", and that was AFTER Ben gained control of Alien X. 2. The omnitrix has no failsafe for limb removal. Only death or removal of the omnitrix itself from Ben's wrist. Cutting Ben's arm off is neither of those. Every time someone tried to cut Ben's arm off, he was saved by outside help, never by the omnitrix. Not that this matters because Hal's constructs are faster than the failsafe. 3. Ben is not particularly creative with his aliens. When he fought Galactic Gladiator, all Ben did was punch and kick, and didn't even do anything beyond basic stuff like that until he was grabbed and used clones to break out. Even when Galactic Gladiator grew bigger, Ben didn't even think "Hm...maybe I should do that too" instead literally going back on his deal with Bellicus and Serena by asking them for help. It is not in-character for Ben to use any of Alien X's more op abilities. Bellicus and Serena were the ones who recreated the universe, not Ben. The fandom heavily overplays Ben's intelligence. It is literally a running gag throughout omniverse that Ben is an idiot. He doesn't even solve any problems by himself. Even Rook comments on it.

Plus, universe+ level threats are pretty common in DC and are much weaker than Hal, so absorbing that much energy wouldn't really affect him. As for becoming smarter than Hal, ok? That won't really help Ben if he gets speed-blitzed, one-shot, and/or out-haxxed. Plus, isn't Alien X technically smarter? As for Upgrade, Green Lantern tech has resistance to hacking that even multiversal supergenius's in DC can't hack into them, and Hal could just use his Ring to hack back into Upgrade's stuff.

I think the catch-up thing was how a fight would play out in most scenarios of this same fight, even with DB's animation having Ben leading the fight most of the time. Hal was able to handle all of Ben's forms pretty well, so it's not too hard to imagine that Hal could flip the script on Ben and Ben would be struggling if Hal took the lead in the fight. I also felt like the 'soft debunk' of Alien X was actually just them saying "Hey, just because Alien X can manipulate reality and can create and destroy a universe, it's not like his powers are that unbeatable", with the Annihilarrgh as an example of Alien X's control over reality and kind of likely other abilities not being infallible. I think this was also the first time DB made the argument that the DC universe is larger than our own, and considering what happened with Jean Grey and the 16th death and the Marvel universe being larger after Hulk vs Broly after the voice work was done... I think it's reasonable to say that something like that happened here. Part of me feels like some of these problems are caused because of poor writing due to trying to wrap a head around all the crazy stuff these characters can do and make it into a cohesive argument and scans being cut due to time constraints.

I'm kinda late to this since i was just recommended this video, but i personally was a GL fan and ben 10 fan, i loved both of them growing up, and felt kinda bad from the battle, cause from what i remembered of GL growing up he was always more limited. Like every time i picked up GL, in movies, comics and shows he was shown limits way beneath what they gave him in the battle,which made me feel as though i was a fake fan and them not well explaining it made me feel kinda dumb, where as I was given a way clearer picture of ben's abilities in the series. Like I remember many comics where green lanterns hit their limits in doing way more mundane stuff than what death battle showed, like them struggling to create a city construct or hold a planet together or move the earth, them shown being mind controlled multiple times or having green lantern rings be broken or hacked, etc, and yet I never remembered them doing anything more impressive than holding back the big bang. Since The episode I have learnt way more of hal's peak abilities, and i can see where they came from. But it does show that I who read green lantern didn't buy their explainations in episode since they didn't really phrase themselves well, and left me with a confusing/incomplete picture. You basically gave me the missing piece of why i disliked the episode even though i like both characters, they were so bad at explaining it that i didn't believe the episode and didn't feel like i could come to the same conclusion with the evidence they provided.

Alien X literally exists outside of time and space. Not only did he not notice the universe being erased, but he also took zero damage from it and just effortlessly brought it back. Basically, even if Ben was attacked in the past as long as he was still alien X, nothing should have phased him, and once he noticed, he just went back in time and killed green lantern while he was enjoying his victory and then just brought himself back to life with time manipulation and called it a day. The whole fight just feels like a gag at the end that makes no sense, but people are expected to take it seriously

@kanishkpincha5052 10 месяцев назад

as someone who is more biased towards ben 10 here is my reasoning for why some fans like me are upset. the thing is that ben lost in a way that has already failsafe against it. while the omnitrix's failsafe are ambiguous we know that omnitrix transforms his user into an alien whenever it detects a life threatening scenario which it has done quite a few times. ben literally survived the big bang because the omnitrix's failsafe kicked in. next is that the DC comics may not be the mainstream source of information about dc characters for many fans thus most of hal's ability seemed like a one time feat or perhaps one that was scrapped in post crisis or new 52 or any other reset similar to how superman can lift infinity in one of these and cannot in another. your video has shown that these are feats that can be done quite often. another is that ben has so many aliens that are much more powerful than four arms or heatblast and nearly none of them make an appearance. next is that while hal may be superior to alien X they do not understand alien x at all. Alien X can destroy, create and alter reality at a whim. there was a whole storyline in which aggregor wanted to absorb a baby alien x and that if he did so he could become the ruler of the entire universe and no one could stop him. The only way the could've refuted alien x being much weaker was to simply state that only ben was influencing alien x and had no support of the dual personalities within all alien x which need to agree to do any action. however in the episode universe vs tennyson ben gets the "keys" to alien X. in that episode it is also heavily implied that alien x is also immune to memory changes as everone except ben and other alien x even know that the universe was destroyed. i may not have got my exact point across but these are the few gripes that bother me a lot and while i don't mind ben loosing i feal that it more felt like he was curbstomped instead of actually losing. people tend to forget that DC has been around for 80 years and that the feats characters of that universe has displayed could probably solo several anime. As a casual watcher i feel that the research was not extensive on both universes because there are feats that both characters have done that are not acknowledged or not justified properly.

And that was because Sunder did not actually chop off Ben's flesh and blood, His hand was dimensionally separated but still physically connected, which is why he can still feel it when other people are touching his severed hand. This does not prove the omnitrix can do anything if someone actually cuts his arm off normally without any dimensional displacement nonsense. Ben had no control over his transformations in that state. Other people needed to pick up the omnitrix and mess with its controls to change Ben. The limb removal failsafe simply does not exist.

I love Kirby vs Majin Buu and sure if Kirby lost I wouldn’t have loved it as much but seeing my boy getting the respect was nice. It’s like how you hate ragna vs sol.

And the Guts vs Dimitri fight Guts wins against nightmares for the simple reason that guts faces the enemy more than himself despite the fact that they are capable of destroying cities, castles and being almost invincible but guts does not come use his sword and his varieties of arsenals to win Basically in the world of guts it's simple logic no matter how powerful you are all it takes is a good clack to win But no, simple Dimitri brought his weaknesses Triangle and magic to win this fight because how much do you mix water and oil (logic and non-logic) You'll end up getting a conclusion

Alien X is not, and has never been, omnipotent. No fictional character is truly omnipotent.

@@justinalicea1590 the annihilargh isn't like an actual weapon, it's more like an on/off switch for existence. Alien X couldn't stop it because Ben had to convince the other personalities (Bellicus and Serena) and he couldn't reverse it because Ben would need another annihilargh to bring it back. For context, annihilarghs are made by beings beyond the 3rd dimension, and Celestialsapiens are 3rd dimensional, meaning that annihilarghs are beyond even them.

I'm pretty sure the real most hated Death Battle was Spider-Man vs Mikasa Ackerman. Mikasa won and the reception was so bad they deleted the video.

THANK YOU for that whole last point in your conclusion. Its the discussion of the characters and their feats that make up *half* the episode, like you say (and, in my opinion, the far more entertaining half of it at that), so its ridiculous that there are people who think the episode would suddenly be good if the victor of the battle changes. Thats *one* aspect of half a video. People should give more mind to the full product rather than merely the conclusion.

My biggest problem with the Ben 10 vs Hal Jordan is they literally ignored Ben's other powerhouse aliens, main one being Feedback. A couple of recent Death Battles upset me, the first one being the lack of Vader's powers and the canon of Star Wars itself, second was disrespecting Midoriya's tatical mind, and lastly the battlefield for James Bond vs John Wick because it should have never been in the Continental.

Something I've always wondered about that death battlle: What about Ben's ability to use the omnitrix to modify the DNA of an entire race on voice command? Couldn't he use that to turn Green latern into a bug? Just like Dr. Animo did with a single piece of the omnitrix in one of the episodes of the original series.

@danielwilson8604 10 месяцев назад

when is it said to have the ability to modify an entire species at will? didn't animo have to build an entire machine to amplify it and acheive that specific power? hal's specifically genetic tampering by cosmic god weapons before and can actually do the same thing, i'm just curious about the omnitrix power.

@giboit. 10 месяцев назад

@@danielwilson8604 Ben literally used voice command to modify the DNA of the entire Highbreed race in the finale of alien force. And has accidentally modified Kevin and Gwen, his own parents in the movies, Rook, many plumber trainees, villains and even Azmuth himself. And future Ben can even fuse alien species. Keep in mind that Dr. Animo managed to use this ability of the Omnitrix to modify DNA just by having one single piece of the omnitrix to work with. Now imagine the power that Ben has to modify DNA of others in an instant with the entire Omnitrix at his disposal.

@danielwilson8604 10 месяцев назад

@@giboit. fair enough, it still likely wouldn't do much in this situation, and completey drained the battery when we saw it, but you are completely right that it can alter an entire species. i wouldn't call the fusion thing the same though, it's just editing the archetypes the omnitrix uses to transform ben.

@giboit. 10 месяцев назад

@@danielwilson8604 It only runs out the battery when it's used on universal scale, like in the case of the Highbreeds. It can totally modify the DNA of single individual as if it was nothing without issues. And I think the fusion feature is relevant because it massively increases Ben's potential in battle.

@danielwilson8604 10 месяцев назад

@@giboit. wfair enuogh, it still wouldn't actually do anything to someone who can resist genetic modification or alteration to his personal reality. and the fusion feature would be an interesing addition, but wouldn't change much. hal has pretty much all of ben's powers, but can use more at once, even with the fusion feature, without sacrificing any power to do so. would have been cool to see though.

Oh this was a very interesting watch. I am very new to watching death battle related stuff thanks to my partner’s Ranking videos, so learning about things like How Green Lanturn vs Ben 10 was so controversial has been uh. Hmm. Hard to wrap my head around? I am very much in a “idc who wins. As long as i enjoy the episode its neat.” Having a character I like win is just a cherry on top.

I’m a huge Ben10 fan and I’ll admit I was upset for a bit when Ben lost. I eventually got over that, but still had gripes about the episode. They continuously used statements by Derrick (who isn’t even a writer or creator) that nerfed Ben, they contradict themselves sometimes, and it felt like they didn’t really understand Ben as a whole. It seemed like they only picked Ben because they thought it would give them more views and content.
