Death Battle Fan Made Trailer: The Modern Man's God

[@hughmann8862]

(Watchmen VS Monument Mythos)

[@rogue_2k374]

Beautiful trailer, though I have a request, or a few. I only want one of these but could you do either Lloyd Garmadon VS. Green Ranger Tommy Oliver, Morro(From Ninjago) VS. Tai Lung, or something with Cactus McCoy, who I cannot for the life of me think of a good matchup for. It’s ok if you don’t it’s a request. Keep up your amazing work, but don’t overwork yourself

[@arnahunas4048]

I love the feeling of this so much, the production quality, the intentional vagueness. Hell, I even adore even just the title! But my favorite part is definitely the music. God, it relates to both characters so well. Then that final clip of "God exists, and he is American" perfectly sums up their connections in such a beautiful way. The various alias's of the characters popping up is such a nice touch. Easily one of the best DB trailers on YT & my personal favorite.

[@wonderland9601]

[@service-smile210]

This might just be the best trailer I've ever seen for a matchup. Literal chills and excellent editing. I hope The Last Son gets more feats in future videos so this gets viable

[@helious5056]

This matchup has aged like a fine wine I think, especially with the recent episode and it's reveal that The queen of the lunarians, the last son and the d day knight are in fact all aspects of God President Nixon from the dean verse who plays a role in the Nixon verse similar to the role Doctor Manhattan played in Doomsday clock

TL;DR: To sum up my rant about an exceptional fan-made Death Battle video into a comprehensible short sentence, the music choice, editing, and subtle details make this video Hugh Mann's greatest work yet. This is by far one of, if not the best video you've made yet, and I consider you as one of the higher-quality fan-made Death Battle creators. Not only is the music choice genius, but the editing is also phenomenal compared to your other works. This is your first and most likely only video so far where you had me actually invested in the character, even if it's ever so slightly. The quality of this calibre for a fan-made Death Battle is unbelievable. The subtle details such as the music volume decreasing at 0:17 and the zooming in with each laugh at 0:20 are the cherry on top. A round of applause for you. Well done, Hugh Mann. Well done.

[@Silverwind87]

Thank you for introducing me to two new spooky but good-hearted superheroes: The Last Son of Alcatraz and The D-Day Knight

[@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677]

Correct as The Last Son of Alcatraz and The D-Day Knight despite coming from the same being, they are two separate beings. And neither of them are close to Manhattan's level. Nixon is the best choice for this.

This is one of those match-ups where at the current moment I'm not sure about it but with time it could become either really good or really bad especially with the monument Mythos being an active series

[@rogue_2k374]

Yeah I have a few ideas where characters haven’t been around as long as possible or their actual canon/canonic it is extremely questionable(The Owl House, The Dragon Prince, SCP Foundation, Kirby extended universe)so my thought process is to wait until either one more season, make a composite version, or wait until the series is finished for said character to appear.

I've never heard of the last son of Alcatraz so I'm just gonna bet on Dr Manhattan

[@rogue_2k374]

I’m going the same way but that’s because I don’t know The Last Son’s powers. He comes from the Analog alternate history universe, The Monument Mythos. I looked up his wiki page and to my knowledge he’s an abstract concept given a form and has abilities that might be similar to Superman’s, but that part of the wiki was very vague. He also was brainwashed at one point and turned into a weapon of war for the American regime when they attempted to take over the world(That’s what it sounded like if I’m wrong then I misread). Both are pretty similar in the fact that they are at their core an abstract concept with the power to change reality as they see fit essentially, come from an alternate history universe where one simple thing drastically changed the course of human history, and both weee used by the American Military during wars in Asia during the Cold War Era. Do to Manhattan’s literal omnipotent power level I’d say he wins but I know nothing of the Last Son’s actual powers so it could go either way.
