☯☯☯ YIN AND YANG ☯☯☯

[@RealCFZ]

And called it.

[@ShaughanMcClintock1]

Called it

[@Elmo9001]

Yin and Yang? I thought for sure that the Cipher symbol was the question mark, to represent the confusion over the complete lack of any research you actually did on Phoenix because you were too busy chain-scale wanking Raven to infinite multiversal and pretending that Phoenix doesn't have the same ability as the Ultimate Nullifier, since she's destroyed cosmic beings who represent eternal abstract concepts, and beaten them. And then you also invented that she was weak to soul hax (She's not.)

[@paulosomebody]

In Phoenix : endsong Jean said she and Phoenix are one, so i think that Raven could not take or erase Jean Grey soul cause Phoenix is a entity and actually they are one, in the last official Phoenix movie a Blonde woman tried to do take Phoenix soul but Jean was in Control and didnt let It happen, another fact is that Marvel and DC or something like that Said that Raven is equal in Power in their own worlds( Marvel and DC worlds ) with Jean Grey or Phoenix i Heard this somewhere i think you can found the font of that info too, so we can say with total certaintity that Jean lose or Raven lose, Is all about the script and writer decision lol Sorry i tried to talk correctly but my english is not fluent, i am from south america.

[@AngryShuckie]

If 40+ years of Titans comics have taught me anything, it's that if you want to stop the darkness inside Raven, the best thing you can do is provide emotional support, and the very worst thing you can do is start a fight with her. I half expected Jean to win, but when she impolitely picked a fight with someone who's peacefully meditating in their pacifist home, I'm glad she got to learn the same lesson as everyone else. Now, maybe when Jean has resurrected they can have a nice, calm chat about how they can help each other out as eternity rolls by.

Plus, jean was exerting control over hundreds if not thousands of people, objects, and robots made to be immune to anything mutants could throw at them, including the most powerful robot in pretty much all of marvel canon (seriously nimrod is insane he could lowkey throw arms with the Sentry and Green Scar Hulk), communicating telepathically with all of them, holding them in place as they tried to break free, and was about to forcibly alter all of their minds to not hate mutants.

Everything about this episode was great... except for the fact that you somehow missed like, EVERYTHING in your research of the Phoenix Force. It can attack souls, it can defend against soul-based attacks, it is able to destroy higher-dimensional enemies that go beyond the abstract concept of existence and immortality. The idea that Raven could just soul-hax Jean and that Jean couldn't destroy her is just plain wrong.

[@ICTON123]

They did say it can attack and affect souls, the problem is that Raven has tanked stuff that can harm souls and can repaired hers, even from complete destruction, while Jean couldn’t. Which is really important given how close they were in stats. The PheonixForce’s fire has prevented possession and tanked Ghost Rider’s hellfire (though, Jean herself lacks any notable resistances). But it lacks that many showings, and Raven’s abilities are more extensive and potent than really anything they have faced before. Her ability to manipulate and destroy the souls from the likes of Trigon and the 4 horsemen shows that it’d take a lot more than that to stop Raven from doing this at her best. Raven and Trigon have fought beings like that too. Mr Myxz, Dr Fate, Spectre, Superman cause let’s be real here, etc.

When they're both functionally immortal but only one has the ability to destroy the soul of the other, it wasn't hard to figure out how this was going to end.

At least in this one it's a canon power. Dante vs Bayonetta was stupid (he supposedly can't lose because he's just incapable of death, although the creator of both characters suggested otherwise) and Tifa vs Yang was poorly based (I love RWBY and would otherwise be happy for Yang to win, but Aura doesn't have ridiculous levels of durability. Remember the part where she literally lost her arm to a (yes, powered-up) sword slice? Punching a pillar with a person sandwiched between still does most of the force to the PILLAR, her Aura largely just prevented her being fully crushed by what forces were actually on her.).

Phoenix Force actually can destroy the soul. Dunno how Death Battle missed one of the most basic things, but Phoenix Force consumes souls. It actually learned how to manipulate souls too in the wake of Rachael Grey, it now borrows souls from the future to resurrect people. And with Phoenix Force absorbing part of The Beyonder and it's powers, it's a multiversal entity. Raven would have to purge the entirety of existence of it's souls in order to snuff out the Phoenix Force canonically, assuming the Phoenix Force didn't do it back to her in the interim.

In one of the sources Raven's name, given to her by Trigon was Pride.

So while pride exist in any form, Raven can not be trully killed.
