I wanna see Donkey Kong vs. Wreck-it Ralph, please.

Nice strife MarkelI and happy holidays to you to

Dude, where have you been? You've been gone for 2 years!

[@dillcipher7367]

This feels like a full tribute to the golden age of cartoons from the early 2000s And the sprites look gorgeous , Glad that you have return

[@SmashBracket]

So insanely hyped to see another episode drop here! Spectacular work. This was such a fun animation from start to finish.

[@masedaace5473]

Smash Bracket? Your here too? Wow, just add Galaxy Video and Biff Weed and the gangs all here!

Lol i was about to suggest you mention or react to these guys

[@jediotter1079]

Hey I watched your videos and I like them

[@ilikechocolate2518]

I love how this feels like this could be an actual crossover between the two

[@melissawhiteley6846]

I love that Zim has to put the human eyes on to believe what he's seeing

[@Lixatto]

The video have many good details like it! :D

[@Therestrial205]

And the funniest thing is he actually covered his real eyes which it's shouldn't help you to see better and he doesn't really need that to see

[@stevef5888]

I have to say that while Deathbattle has the crazy production value and big budget, I always thought strife captured the personalities of the characters perfectly. Like all the little homages and sound effects to both these shows and the characters were perfect. The little squeaks of the windmill, the Santa’s elves vs the eggplants, Mr mouse. It shows a lot of love for the source material. This was a ton of fun and I hope you keep making them

[@nigachad4031]

they were torn from the old spongebob games, including some of the music

[@endergeo116]

I agree, the characters feel more real

[@22kingdomheartsfan]

Yeah Death Battle doesn't care about the characters acting like... You know. The characters.

[@bleh6809]

@@22kingdomheartsfanactually newer seasons have been pretty good at capturing the characters personalities

[@22kingdomheartsfan]

@@bleh6809 Not really. Newer seasons they are still brick walls who just think "Who this fuck head, Imma kill it". And the most recent season, they still prefer "references over characters"

[@bismuth7398]

Ah yes, another versus matchup where you can quote that classic meme line. "For Zim, it was the fight of his life. For Courage, it was Tuesday."

[@antonitocotter447]

Yeah, I saw that ending coming a mile away. This was just another day in the job of Courage, the cowardly dog....

[@bismuth7398]

I did *NOT* expect the finale to go as hard as it did, though. Holy shit, that was on the same level as Iron Man wrecking Lex Luthor to the Aldnoah Zero OP.

[@A-Muse-U]

This is probably your best work! It honestly gets the feel of both of these franchises and does them justice. I thought the end Zim was going to be dragged away by the Kankers lol

[@SuperCaleb360]

My favorite Nickelodeon character vs my favorite Cartoon Network character? Yes please!!!!!

[@AaronDawgzilla9055]

Since why do you know that before?

[@eeee2987]

No wonder this took so long to make, there’s actual voice acting and a story in this !

[@N_DAnimationEnthusiast]

Can we just talk about the fact that…. (Spoilers) Courage said No to death and came back even stronger to one shot Zim back to earth?! Amazing. Good to have you back, Markeli!

[@robertthreadgill5356]

that's toon force for ya

[@RuneTacticss]

I was concerned at first but then I was like "Oh yeah isn't Courage like Immortal"

[@N_DAnimationEnthusiast]

@@robertthreadgill5356 true true

[@sparkplusultra9289]

@@RuneTacticssit varies but in away yes toon force users like courage could survive only other toon force user could win or if someone could bypass it or how much they have

[@bismuth7398]

You could tell at 9:43 that Courage was done with Zim's BS.

[@zachpottinger1842]

I forget Courage has an infinite amount of dumb luck on his side, even if he’s dead he still somehow is victorious. And maybe it’s also because he’s a Toon?

[@ShadowSaberBaroxio]

In his actual show, it's less "infinite dumb luck" and more, "infinite stamina and tenacity" that wins him the day. Courage doesn't ever give up, and he's pretty much functionally immune to dying. But yeah, victory often comes as a result of his quick wit, or his immense kindness. I honestly can't really think of an episode that was solved purely via dumb luck.

[@bangaliekanu5852]

Yes! The return! I’ve always loved these animations. There’s so much personality, character, and beautiful animation. Glad to see you back.

[@undeadreborn4867]

that ending bit got me so hard you earned the sub man!

[@Saraphie]

Ha, I loved this. It really captured that 90's cartoon energy. Great job!

[@epicandpila]

Tbh first time watching this, I saw it like a actual crossover episode and thought zim was gonna be the end of courage, making it dark and actually fitting for both shows to have dark endings at times but the fact that courage just escapes heaven and became stronger just goes to show that we need crossovers like this now a days

[@joshuahughes3377]

Welcome back, Strife. We missed you dearly, And we are so happy that you came back.

[@donovanhadley2209]

This was an incredible and straight up random at some points fight and I love it. Glad to see this come back.

[@ceejay4486]

this the best MARKELI video ever it has references/call backs to the two respective series that this video is based off references to other Nick & CN shows funny scenes and kickass moments, also a great ending (they even reference Ben vs Danny!)

[@tianoc-g4811]

This is a wonderful gift on my birthday! Finally the ultimate battle against the two unique Central characters of Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network; there been my debates between these two facing each other and now we finally get to see it!

[@bosshitmonchan2920]

I actually meet the voice of Courage and got his autograph

[@tripleg6]

Man, I just want to say, that [9:43], with the music selected, was a thing of beauty.

[@bismuth7398]

It was on par with Iron Man wrecking Lex Luthor to the Aldnoah Zero OP.

[@tripleg6]

@@bismuth7398 I see, a man of culture.

[@bismuth7398]

@@tripleg6 Yup. And honestly, I think this video does it even better. Some of the most satisfying moments from Courage the Cowardly Dog are when Courage is pushed to the point where the gloves come off. The entirety of "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog" comes to mind. At 9:43, Courage is clearly *DONE* with Zim's BS, and hits him with one of the most badass cartoon tropes ever: hulking out and beating the shit out of him. And all while the classic Cartoon Cartoons theme plays. It's genuinely one of the most badass things I've ever seen.

[@SuperCaleb360]

You're making Death Battle look like chumps by the way. This may be my favorite video on KZbin.

[@Masonthebaconhair]

AHH, My favorite cartoon back in my childhood and it's courage cowardly dog!!

[@FrenzyFanboy]

Coincidence that this came out after the Galaxy Grudge Match

[@masedaace5473]

Yeah, this guy's got class.

[@BestJumperCB3]

Amazing Animation. Great to see you back animating.

[@HawkOfKrypton]

Everything about this felt both like Courage VS Zim AND an homage to CN/Nickelodeon in general, really great work! Loved all the easter eggs, you even managed to fit in a army battle in there XD

[@mrrobot736]

​ That was incredibly good, animation and the gags everything was perfect, great video MARKELI

Man, you went all out on the animation and quality of this video! The characters used is pretty accurate to the show.

[@cupoochie4374]

Weird coincidence: at one point recently both these characters have been my pfp

[@blaster.m1943]

okay that fake out death was gold this comeback makes up for stuff like their what i would assume is their mugen moves/abilities you've heard about in a respect thread being pulled out of thin air 10/10 PEAK /co/ material

yo the sfx and music are so nostalgic to me, i recognized some of them from battle for bikini bottom and the spongebob movie game, both of which originated from the golden age of cartoons, i cant be the only one who noticed

Ps i noticed the Robot death sound effect from SpongeBob, very satisfying
