DEATH BATTLE Review- Omni-Man vs Homelander

This comment section isn’t yours to conquer.

[@WE-te3vp]

Yes it is

[@evynmuckerheide88]

Omniman here. I am not here for your comment.

[@rayanimates4801]

fair

[@phantomfalcon8104]

I like that Nolan tries to take his time making John’s suffer before his death after he killed Debbie, but immediately ends the fight the instant he threatened Mark. It’s a nice touch that shows he truly cares for his family

[@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375]

Also seeing Omni Man ripping his Jaw and feeding his heart literally shows that Omni Man threats are promises

[@prestonarce2007]

Omni man promised a heart for homelander to eat, and he delivered in two minutes. Best delivery boy ever. He should work for DoorDash!

I know omni man and invincible are Father and son and both of them are gonna can i conquer the world but mark wont.

He probably would've tied him down and feed him his heart bit by bit in a basement if he hadn't said that.

First is revenge for his wife the other is protecting his son.

[@RaccoonBroVA]

I will never complain about a match being uninteresting just for being a stomp ever again.

Yeah, I’ve said this before, but I don’t really care if an episode is a stomp. I care much more about the episode being good regardless of it being a stomp or not.

[@slashkamei]

@@WilliamKnee Hard agree, give me a good fight and I'll be happy

[@SmashBracket]

Something I have appreciated about this season of death battle is that it generally feels like they are doing better with the storytelling of their animations more than the other seasons I have seen. It really adds to the overall enjoyment for me

[@omegaaklx303]

Hey hello ink, waiting wolf vs incineroar! I'm really hyped

[@SmashBracket]

@@omegaaklx303 I’m glad to hear it! We have taken a bit longer than usual on this one so that we could figure out for sure what is following it. I’m going full steam ahead on editing starting tomorrow! I think people are going to be really happy with the fight and the next animation too!

[@weskintime4177]

With the exception of Thor vs Vegeta

[@mattoconnor7475]

Honestly, I really like subtle nod to the "Think Mark!" meme. If you look closely, Nolan kneeling over John's body is framed in a very similar way to when he stood over his brutally beaten son. It's a nice detail that shows that despite being a ruthless conquering titan of death, he still at least somewhat cares about his family.

[@ryanbelcher25rb]

Actually if you saw the storyboard for this fight Nolan did do the 'Think' meme.

[@daviddow3705]

Think John think!

[@Studio-ur2ud]

Two things. 1) I don’t mind the stomp in the fight as Homelander already did more than enough damage. Killing Debbie and threatening his son was enough harm, emotionally I mean, to piss Nolan off for good. As such, it’s trading physical agony for emotional agony, or at least that’s how I see it. 2) Can’t believe Omniman helped Homelander chew that heart like Lander was Fredbear with the kid’ head from the Bite of 1987.

Anyone else just feel very happy when biff just gushes over how much he loves a certain thing? Also I like that biff is supporting Nem, that's just great

[@blitz4779]

It's a fantastic fight. Yeah it's short but it definitely uses its time effectively, plus it is pretty accurate to how the fight would legit go One of my favorite things is how they didn't hide how much of a stomp this is Wish nem well for us btw, hope he's okay

[@pedrohlm9734]

Two things to note: 1 - The name of the track "Diabolical! Invincible Me" makes reference to "Despicable Me" in the sense that two characters have done despicable things, but it can also be a reference to you know who so ... more clues (besides the reference in Scarlet Witch VS Zatana) that that matchup could finally happen this season. 2 - I noticed something Death Battle has been doing since season 6, a pattern called: "We put a character that Biff Weed likes against a Marvel character", Widowmaker, Genos, Po and now Tesuo that's just ... funny lol.

[@ArkhamMaster.]

[@dreadjakeanator]

You mind if I ask, what is "that" fight you're eluding to?

[@ArkhamMaster.]

@@dreadjakeanator Mega mind vs gru

[@latiosfreak2000]

NOT THE MINION REFERENCE IN THE OMNIMAN VS HOMELANDER FIGHT

[@fakeadamsandler9180]

To that first point, there was a leak a long time ago on Reddit that Gru vs Megamind will happen this season. No one on Reddit took that leak seriously until Omnilander was confirmed. And so far, the leak has been accurate with our first six episodes.

[@coolbeans3752]

I like to think Omniman wanted to stay silent, to just solidify the difference in strength and experience. Also to not give Homelander the satisfaction of actually doing damage to him.

[@tlkfanrwbyfan8716]

Not like Homelander could actually hurt Nolan

[@ivrydice0954]

Homelander is not as strong as immortal so I appreciate the distinction in the fight.

[@mickeybat5816]

I love the fact that deathbattle didn't even try to drag the fight out. Lol everyone knew Omni Man was smacking tf outta homelander and DB didn't try to act otherwise

[@Titanium1208]

Ngl this episode overdelivered imo. It could’ve easily been mid af but the team behind it pulled this matchup off spectacularly. Next time is going to be something, Im excited for Magneto hes one of my favorite comic characters of all time so I hope he’s represented well as more of a well intended peacekeeper and less a ideological psychopath. I got faith, lets go Mags. Maybe the episode will get into wanting to watch Akira idk we’ll see.

[@BiffWeed]

Akira is a really good movie you should definitely check it out. The impact it had on modern day media alone makes it an instant classic

[@toastybutondifferentacc5775]

I love how Homelander has red eyes once while he's getting repeatedly punched by Omni-Man. It shows how he's trying to do use his laser eyes but Omni-Man doesn't give him the chance, it's like getting comboed in a fighting game, and not having a chance to counter. Also the Omni-Man.exe joke you made caught me off-guard and killed me

[@accywacky2699]

Regarding Omniman not screaming or reacting at the heat-beams to his eyes mentioned at 8:35 I would imagine 3 main reasons: 1: Homelander killed his wife/pet, he is NOT a happy camper right now no matter how much chill he is projecting, he's probably just too furious to care about the pain, much let something as minor as not being able to see slow him down. 2: Screaming or otherwise showing signs of pain or even discomfort from Homelander's attacks would imply/show that Homelander has any capacity what so ever to actually hurt him. Denying Homelander even a sliver of hope or sattisfaction from such a response helps add burden to his already unstable psyche, making for a significant (if not truly necessary) advantage during the battle as his enemy grows increasingly desperate and unsure of what he can do, to the point where at the end Homelander isnt even fighting him as he gets his skull crushed. Red Rush at least punched the hell out of Omni-man's chest while he was in the same situation and Homelander's skull should theoretically take a few microseconds longer to crumble under the pressure, but his will to fight has already collapsed. 3: the Immortal, while in a post-death fueled rage was only able to do minor, inconsequential cosmetic damage to Omni-man's eyes when able to put his fingers directly to his eyeballs, I dont think the heat beams will hurt as much. After all they cannot stop Omniman from blinking or keeping his eyes closed while he's getting blasted and the heat just isnt as much of a problem as intense direct pressure unless it gets a lot hotter than what those eyebeams are capable of generating. (Remember, Omniman got hit by a certain particle beam cannon and then flew face first into another of its blasts to little ill effect beyond a brief nosebleed, hot as those eyebeams get they dont generate close to that level of heat so what real harm are they going to do?).

[@afoolishk9266]

Brandon's reaction to Homelander getting his jaw destroyed is just so funny with the escalation of their "jesus CHRIST".

[@metamaster5469]

Regarding Magneto vs Tetsuo, I really hope they have Tetsuo mutate and really play into the horror of the situation from his perspective. I wanna see him screaming in agony and crying his eyes out to remind us that at the end of the day, this is still a kid. I want Magneto to be absolutely horrified by the situation. I want him to be trying to sway Tetsuo over to his side the entire fight only for Tetsuo to blow him off at every turn and viciously assault him. I want to see Magneto realizing how out of control he's getting and try to reign him in. I want Magneto to realize he has no choice but to kill him to put him out of his misery. I want him to shed a tear as Tetsuo dies and say something like "I wish it hadn't come to this, child... We could have done great things together..."

[@raphaelgabin6424]

that would be cool

[@askerleaves1614]

we kind of got that

[@tjman4616]

This aged well

[@maxlolbits2182]

On the topic of short animations, I want to say this. Samurai Jack VS Afro Samurai was only around 2 minutes, and to me that was a 10/10 episode, we got quality over quantity and there was only one like pause which was moreso a great character moment. You can easily say the same goes for this episode, every moment didn't feel like a waste and the intro was already like....a minute long so technically the animations is a little over 3 minutes. So yeah, this was quite an episode and uhhhh as for the next episode, I feel like the death is going to be nasty af.

[@killarilla6780]

I'm not sure if it just be but I think Homelander screams out a muffled "OH GOD NO!" Before being killed.

[@natanielmonclova8101]

I think what happened with this fight was that the people in death battle saw the horrendous shit that Homelanders done, so they decide to put him up against someone that would stomp him just so everyone that knows Homelander can have some sweet sweet satisfaction

[@DANCERcow]

I love how people forget purposefully to justify his virtue, the mess up horrid stuff Omni man has done! Hey remember the train scene? Or where he just kills several people without a second thought in front of mark. Nolan is far from a boy scout and even comments how inferior humans are and how easily they can be killed! At least homelander is human a mess up individual but he is human

[@austinrutledge7531]

@@DANCERcow Say it again for the people in the back. Seriously, I kinda wish they had used Metro Man in place of Omniman so we could all just root for an actual hero in this stomp.

[@AmateurAnimations65]

You know, on a recent rewatch I realized a clever bit of thought process when it comes to the death. Homelander dies in a way that destroys both his brain and his heart, the two main ways to kill a Viltrumite, implying that Omni-Man may have believed Homelander was some kind of man made Viltrumite or even thought Homelander was one of his own kind, and so decided to take him out in such a way that not even Viltrumites can survive. It shows that feeding Homelander his own heart wasn't just for menacing effect, it was a small bit of strategy to make sure he doesn't survive this

[@thestanman1486]

I think Popeye vs Saitama and Omni-man vs Homelander has more then proven that death battle can make phenomenal episodes even out of complete stomps. Hopefully they can continue that trend with Magneto vs Testuo

[@palmtree2711]

I was really happy with how this one ended up turning out. They've nailed it with every episode so far this season, and I'm glad this episode's turning out as successful as it is. Two million views in just two days is massive, and very deserved. Probably not my personal favorite of the season just cause I do have much more connection to other characters they've used so far, but this episode singlehandedly made me even more excited to eventually watch Invincible and The Boys than I already was, absolutely loved it.

[@dragonyoshi-ninja]

The Death was one of the most brutal ones of ever seen in my life in Death Battle the most brutal death we ever saw was Hulk vs Doomsday

[@crypticseeker8468]

This episode blew me away as hard as omni man absolutely shits on homelander. Fuck what a good episode. Minus a few gripes it's honestly just good. I do wish it was a bit longer but considering the animation quality it was clearly the budget was bigger at least. 9.5/10, maybe I'll make it 10/10 if I watch it more.

[@tjehue]

Its also a extremely 1 sided fight and it makes sense why it wouldn't last long.

[@boredhuman6512]

The episode having two sponsors is by far the most shocking thing of all

[@shadowki5687]

The VAs really captured homelanders personality and moodswings perfectly, these felt like actual things he'd say if he met his equal in a fight.

[@MinecraftWorld1954]

The track should have been Diabolically Invincible. Aside from that, I agree. Though I couldn’t really get into Omni Man’s voice. 8.7/10

[@dmcx-tv2308]

Best one of the season yet: Analysis for both: Average/good, left out a few details but kinda get the whole covering the shows only Animation: Fantastic VAs: Fantastic Fight: Short but sweet Music: Amazing!!! Death: Brutality(See, "Akuma vs Shao Kahn", yall should had this but no) Post-Analysis: it is fine Overall: 8.5/10 (The predictability held it back unfortunately) But actually, the next fight I'm not really excited for it at all

[@tct4593]

Despite me not caring for most of the matchups for this season I got to say Season 9 has been killing it so far 👍 Lets hope Tetsuo vs Mags continues the streak. While I didn't want it personally I'm hyped for both characters and Tetsuo deserves a good episode cause I doubt we'll see him again...

[@jaydenroberts2615]

If Omniman’s weakness is that he has sensitive senses, he’s unironically vulnerable to Sprite and 5 Gum

I will now be calling eyeless Omni man “Omni man exe” for eternity

[@fireironthesecond2909]

Nice another EXE fan 🤣

[@pokie7996]

This episode was really good on the short side but my god I love that death at the end probably my favorite death this season

[@deadakus]

Ok. Gotta say it. When they crash onto the ground they vaporize the citizens around them. Then they're shown to be fine right in front of homelanders field of vision. Then we cut to Johns POV and they're gone? You could argue it's part of his mental breakdown except they appear again after his death. I'm only at 5:39 so I don't know if Biff mentions this but it's the one part of the fight that urks me. Even with that nitpick the episode still gets a 9/10. Unfortunately despite the funny sex joke homelanders analysis just didn't click with me. It was fine and I did like the nut cutaway but it felt... Lacking Omni mans is the best all season though i loved it. Fucking chills

[@necryo_0]

This is an episode I wish I like more. It feels too short and less so like a fight and more so an disappointed dad dealing with a kid with a temper tantrum. And while yes, I'll gladly watch honelander get his shit kicked in, I mostly wish they did a bit more. The start and end are great but the middle just feels bland. Out side of the expression work, I spent like half an hour looking at homelanders expressions because they genuinely look good and you can just tell what he's thinking just by looking at them

[@suarez9108]

When Omni-man caught Homelander's Heat-vision he then used it to pull himself up to punch Homelander. And that sends a big fucking message

[@singingcrow439]

I think the shortness of the video was advantageous in way, as they didnt felt the need go add filler or drag on some stuff for too long.

[@averagegamecritic]

Seems they’re going for fun but predictable. It’s an interesting angle that may be for math sake and budgeting. It’s an example of thriving with limitations.

[@sylveonemeraldz]

another comment pointed it out, but i like how they show how much more maniacal homelander is compared to omni man

[@Frost_Winterfall]

honestly, glad this was a stomp. It feels so damn good to just watch Homelander get his shit rocked

[@timmyreobed5043]

My one complaint is that the shortness of the fight makes it so the amazing music track mostly goes to waste. But honestly that's just a nitpick, and I absolutely understand that just this short animation had to had to have taken a long-ass time, so I can't be too upset.

[@dragonhearted7761]

The actual fight lasted just under 2 minutes, making it one of the shortest in the series if not the shortest which is fitting considering the power difference

[@tonysonic456]

This episode may have had a short fight, but it was sweet as ice cream. It's my favorite of the season as well.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

I was honestly surprised that they did really good with the references. I was expecting Omni-Man to just randomly do the 'Think Mark, Think' meme for no reason among others but besides one example, the bit in the analysis "Really wants his son to THINK", they handled them all really well. They managed to make the references while changing them up to feel natural to the conflict like "I'm not after your country" and mixing the Omni-Man train scene with Homelander's plane scene also kept it from feeling forced in. I groaned at that at first thinking "Whelp, here's the train scene" but then Homelander lasers the plane, subverting my expectations. And you know what? It actually makes sense that Omni-Man would do that as Homelander clearly cares about his public image so using him to unintentionally kill all the passengers on a plane would really destroy that, not that Homelander cared at that point as he just murdered them all himself. This is how they should do references, make them fit within the story they're trying to tell instead of just throwing them in randomly and lazily. The worst example I always think about is Miles doing the shoulder touch in Miles vs Static because I really don't see why Miles would do that to a random stranger but it also puts in a reference in a good way with Miles going "Keep sticking, keep sticking!" then "Stop sticking, stop sticking!" as that was a Spider-Verse reference but was actually relevant to the fight as he couldn't stick to the wall, then he couldn't stop sticking. Hopefully this is a sign they are getting better at the writing in regards to references because when they do things like the shoulder touch or Lobo crushing a whole city into a ball (because he did it in the comics like we talked about, remember guys!? D:) it really takes me out of the fight because it doesn't feel natural. I will say that the care they took with avoiding spoilers (minus what you showed which I didn't notice) irked me because they didn't seem to show that amount of care for stuff like Jojo and Attack on Titan, just explaining a future part in the previews even though it hasn't been animated and spoiling a major thing in Attack on Titan which wasn't relevant to the debate at hand. Just find it kind of shitty how they show so much care here when they didn't really seem to care the two other times. Maybe its just because they like these two shows more than Jojo and AoT but just because you may not care doesn't mean others don't, avoid unnecessary information as much as possible. Only other minor issue I have is the next time. I don't hate the matchup (to be fair, unfamiliar with Tetsuo so not sure what the theme of it is), its just that this season seems pretty comic book focused so far. Harley, Wanda and Zatana, Thor, Omni-Man and Homelander and now Magneto. Only Johnathan vs Tanjiro had nothing to do with a comic book property. I like comic books but there just doesn't seem to be much variation in this season. I'd like to see more video game, movie and anime characters, especially them fighting someone other than a comic book character. To be fair, I did want Omni-Man vs Bardock which would still have a comic character in it but I'd say my issue is that there were TWO comic book characters which just filled the season with more comic characters though at least they weren't Marvel and DC. Its not that I hate the characters, at worse I only dislike Harley and have no interest in Homelander, its just that I want to see other series get a chance to shine and its harder to do when every other match involved a Marvel/DC character. I imagine it will still be a good episode but hopefully the next time has nothing to do with a comic book character. Also notice that its as you said (I think you said this) where all the matches we are getting are the ones they've teased so there haven't really been too many surprises for this season. Makes it harder to be excited when we already know what to expect.

[@o0bookwyrmknight0o]

I’ve seen one person suggest that with the name of the track, and Zantanna saying “Presentation!” That they are putting in tiny hints that there is going to be a “Gru vs Megamind” match this season, or at least in the future.

[@unoriginal2552]

Another thing, Nolan didn't let Homelander have one single victory (other than bleeding ears) during the fight. 1. Nolan didn't react when Homelander killed Debbie. 2. Nolan shrugged off an explosion that sent Homelander flying. 3. Nolan mocked Homelander during the fight itself by teaching Homelander how to fight, and "What's the matter? Are you going to cry?" 4. When Homelander was about to die, Nolan opened his eyes to show Homelander that those lasers didn't even hurt and all he had to do was close his eyes.

Funny that the one episode we didn't know of before the season started was the best one. Also I really don't get putting Tetsuo against magneto. Did Akira really need the marvel character boost? Its Akira?? One of the most influential Anime film of all time? Mewtwo would have been better, plus it could give him an actually good episode of Death Battle.

I’m gonna be honest, I feel like Gru vs Megamind is a guarantee for this season. Between the “presentation” reference in Zatanna vs Scarlet Witch and the “diabolically invincible me” it feels like they’re semi teasing it. I might just seeing irrelevant coincidences at this point but that’s just how I feel.

[@spinozilla2421]

The one thing I wish they did was make it so Omni-man got some battle damage after Homelander slammed him into the ground after using his Sonic scream. I think it would sell the idea of Omni-man having the advantage generally but Homelander being able to do some damage with his counters better than just a little blood coming out of Omni-man’s ears the first time Homelander screamed with no more damage done before his second scream.

[@boxytheboxmaster3252]

Let me just say this episode had one of the best deaths in possibly the entire show why do I say that well let’s se here the intense music Omniman yanks homelanders jaw out homelanders terrified mumbling the absolutely amazing animation homelander freaking the f*ck out and Omniman feeding homelander his own god damn heart showing everyone he wasn’t bluffing he was dead serious I mean holy sh*t I can say so much reasons why this is a fantastic death while I don’t plan on seeing invincible or the boys because I absolutely despise prime video because it’s a an absolute scam but this makes me want to watch both series

I am not going to lie, I think this might be the first season of death battle that I may have to say, I think you probably have to adjust your scoring system. With how amazing this season has been. I feel like I may need to raise my standards of death battle, which I never thought would happen. Unless the season starts to dip in quality as it goes on, I honestly feel like raising your standards for this season might be needed. Otherwise we may have a season only full of eight out of tens or higher.

This ep is pretty good. Wish it was bardock, but still, this is a banger episode none the less. And This has to be the biggest stomp in db history for sure. That or Thor vs raiden. “7.2 billion times faster 60 billion times stronger” Lmao

OMNI-MAN.EXE IM DEAD 💀

[@dragondude4886]

Biff weed makes a video called why I don't want Homelander vs Omni Man Death battle: looks like somebody wants Homelander vs Omni Man

[@SuperBatSpider]

Thing is, I don’t even believe Homelander claiming he’d kill Mark. I think he’d try, but I believe in Mark, he could probably win.

[@AdrianFahrenheitTepes]

I believe once Mark got the hang of it, then yeah, but initially Mark wasn’t all that willing to kill like Nolan was in Season One. Season Two? Yeah Mark would mess up Homelander pretty quick

[@BoosterGoldest]

The track name is a reference is a reference to Despicable Me, we already had a Megamind reference so hoping for Gru Vs Megamind this season

[@eduardojose981]

Thanks biff for informing me about the ¨homelander thinks he is going to win¨, now i can't just get out of my head ominman getting oneshot the moment the figth starts

Personally, I'm a bit mixed on this episode. I haven't watched Invincible or The Boys, even though I still want watch both despite my knowledge on events in both. But from what I've seen and heard, I do like both Omni-Man and Homelander. But I did want a bit more on this episode. I thought both analysises were fine. Not bad, just fine. But the fight is was I was kinda focused on more this episode. Now let me say, I agree that the set up is one of the best we've ever gotten, if not the best one ever. YongYea did amazing with the whole monologue, I loved it. DB having the balls to make him kill off Debbie, damn. Can't help but respect them for a risky move like that. But afterwards, I just kinda wanted more for the fight. Like the entire fight... Is fine. But I feel like it was lacking a few key things. For one, I was expecting way more innocent people to be collaterally damaged in the process. I wanted a bit more bloodshed other than the amazing kill at the end. Yeah, Homelander destroyed am airplane (which I acknowledge is a very cool reference on both sides) that no doubt had people in it, and those three people on the ground and the whole neighborhood was destroyed. But out of all those people, we only *saw* three get killed. Does that make sense? Idk, I just wanted to actually *see* more collateral, you know? Like say... Omni-Man just so happens to be flying over a crowd of people and Homelander heat rays towards him, not even caring that it's gonna kill many, like that one scene where he lazered that whole cloud in The Boys. Stuff like that. If there are any two characters you want bloodshed from, it's Omni-Man and Homelander. Also wish Homelander physically damaged Omni-Man a bit more. All he did was hurt his ears a bit and burn his face a bit. And I get it, it's to show how outclassed he his, but I feel like he could have put a little more damage to him, give him a fight that... Not almost kills him, but actually gives him a challenge like the Guardians. Also also, I feel like Homelander lost his shit a bit too early. After hearing how much he values his public image, especially after Nem's fantastic theoretical Homelander vs Hancock fight, I was expecting more of a build up to it. But like Wanda, I feel like it just... Happened? It was better, but I still feel like it just happened. So yeah, I understand the love Biff has for this ep, but personally it wasn't for me. I was expecting a much longer fight. The fight is 2 minutes, the set up, while fantastic, is 1. The fight feels over before it truly begins. And I get it, its a stomp and it feels that way, but stomps don't always need to be that quick. But maybe that's all just me. Fantastic voice acting, 10/10 fight set up, good track, ok analysis, very good kill, and good character moments and writing, I just personally wanted a lot more from the fight despite their limited tool kits. That's all. 7/10 from me, maybe an 8? I originally was gonna say a 6 but I realized it's not just above average, it's better than that. But I do get the love for it. It's good, 7/10 is "good" for me. I was just hoping for a bit more.

[@Fawnxo420]

Wonder what Omnitron Male vs Above Super Male would be

[@untitledperson6162]

While im not a big fan of the track name either its actually a reference to the protagonists of both shows with invincible being a reference to Well invincible and diabolical being a reference to Billy Butchers catchphrase and the me refers to the fact that its them not Mark or Billy Butcher but them. But yeah i agree its still a bit weird

[@BiffWeed]

I get what they're going for it just sounds really clunky and doesn't roll off the tongue well at all

[@ajanis95]

I adored this episode (minus one specific part of Homelander's analysis, I'm sure you can guess which part). First, they did a rather good job keeping things spoiler free, which I'm impressed by. In regards to that one bit you mentioned that you didn't think they did a good job keeping spoiler free, I actually didn't realize it was what it was: Specifically, I thought it was just Nolan ssaying that his healing factor was losing potency, but not that he was dying at that moment as he said it. So I think they did alright, but maybe I'm just not good at putting 2 and 2 together. Second, the voice acting. Tom Schalk was amazing as Omni-Man, doing a very decent J.K Simmons impression and managing to sound near unaffected and bored throughout the entire fight, right up until the end where he gets chillingly terryfing, but the real stand out is Yong Yea in his return as Homelander. Yong absolutely perfectly nails Homelander: His smug superiorty during his opening speech, his need for validation and beleif he can bully nolan in his 'Get the F*** out of my country" and his manic bloodlust and absolute fury in his little temper-tantrum he has while frying Nolan's eyes. Third, the animation. It's a wonderful 2d fight, incredibly fluid and everyone just looks great. Finally, the way the fight is written is just perfect. The set-up is, as you said, probably the best one in all of Death Battle, and one that's honestly rather personal. I think my favorite bit abouit it is that it contrasts some of the core differences between the two rather well. Homelander is bombastic and obsessed with his image, overwhelmingly cruel and emotional. He comes into a man's house and fries his wife to try and send a message because he's insecure in how he'll be able to stay 'on the top' with Nolan around. He tries to play this sort of 'cool and calm' personality, trying to show he's in control, but it comes off as insanely smug and emotional, not to mention crazed. Nolan's response is one of tranquil fury and calm, contrasting just how much of a warrior the man is. More than that though, it's his simple "I'm going to tear out your heart." that gets me. No swearing, no raised voice. Just a simple statement, a promise. And it's one that shows just how much his time on earth and his family has changed him: Homelander metaphorically tore his heart out by killing his wife, so Nolan's going to very literally return the favor. During the fight itself we get to continue to see the huge difference in personality and temperment, as well as scope. Nolan derisively lokks down on Homelander, seeing him as small and unskilled. His comments on the small scope of homelander's thinking (I'm not here for your COUNTRY) and his annoyance (not anger, just annoyance) at his incompatence (You have to turn with the punch) are gold. Homelander isn't a threat, he isn't even a pain. He's an annoyance, made worse by just how incompatent he is in comparison. For a man like Nolan, it's just offensive. And again, he never curses or raises his voice once in this fight. It's just beneath him. On Homelander's side we see him descend into madness and rage and it's berautiful. The shouting, the cursing, the tempr-tantrum, it all serves to illustrate how much of a narcissitic man-child he is. Then there's the fact that he can't actually hurt Nolan in any significant way. The only time he draws blood is when he shouts, manaing to have one tiny advantage over Nolan's one weakness, but otherwise it's all pointless. Even his heat-vision on Nolan's eyes, which at first seem to do some noticble damage, is futile and useless in the end as we see Nolan open his eyes and reveal that apart from being a little bloodshot, he's absolutely fine. And then there's Homelander's absolute terror when his jaw is ripped off it's joint. The realization that he's not only picked a battle he can't win, it's one he'll not be able to walk away from. Seeing him humilated and beat-down was wonderful. Turning this fight into an absolute stomp was the way to go for this fight: Homelander is just such a hate-sink that it works. I'm generally not a fan of stomps, but this is one of the times I feel that not only does it work, it's what should have been done (the only other time was Deadpool vs The Mask, and that was for the story aspect of the fight). Here everyone wanted to see Homelander get brutally destroyed, he's just that much of a hate sink, and we got it. All in all, an absolute wonderful episode. Not sure if it's in my top ten (again, homelander's analysis has that one bit that drags it down for me) but it's definitely one of my all time favorites.

[@raphaelgabin6424]

It's that sex feat, isn't it?

[@Ishtarru]

I liked the overall feeling that Omni-Man was holding back through much of this fight because he wanted Homelander to suffer before killing him. Why's it set at Christmastime though?

[@badashe1364]

I swear any time I see the track name I think it’s Despicable Me and it makes me want Gru vs Megamind more

[@generalzeta7000]

It just fun seeing someone who full of them self getting just getting completely out class and destroyed in what they think they are unstoppable in. That what this is. I have not seen the boys but I know Homelander is a terrible person who full of him self. And seeing someone with that attitude who thinks he invincible getting destroyed, at his own game, is extremely satisfying.

[@fierypiranha]

My one major complaint with the episode is that they should have kept the Debbie reveal a secret. Maybe pull a Bucky vs Jason and put the teaser partway through, like maybe the road scene until the airplance scene.

[@BiffWeed]

I really don't think they needed to hold off on it. Debbie's death was the thing about the setup to hook me the most, delaying it until later for no reason would not only hurt the pacing but it'd take away the most shocking part from the start.

[@fierypiranha]

@@BiffWeed oh I meant like have the fight remained unchanged. But have the preview start a little bit after the reveal. Like how Red Hood vs The Winter Soldiers a started minute through the fight.

[@BiffWeed]

@@fierypiranha That worked for Bucky vs Jason because it was like 6 minutes long. Homelander vs Omni Man is barely half of that, and 2 of those 3 minutes are dedicated to the setup and the death. That'd mean the preview would have to show more or less the entire rest of the fight and I think that would've hurt its reception in the long run.

[@fierypiranha]

@@BiffWeed yeah that's fair
