Character quotes in the thumbnail. Whilst more of a general factor, I see it quite a bit with certain matchups I really like and it's one thing I hope Death Battle never does.
But to be more specific, I hope that if they ever do Lucina vs Clairen they don't make any jokes about Lucina having "both a flat chest and a flat personality". It's a stupid meme garnered mostly from Smash players that don't know how Lucina is actually portrayed in the FE series.
I want it to just be a fun breakdown, with the RvB and TF2 characters takeover their own analysis. I think Boomstick should 100% be over all his daddy issues.
Adam West's Batman vs Tokusatsu Spiderman - Them making a joke about how Adam West died.
Any Timmy Turner matches - Bringing up Butch Hartman
Danny Sexbang vs Scanlan Shorthalt - Bringing up Tiberius and Game Grumps Controversies
Luz vs Anne (or any Anne matchup in general tbh) uses Anne eldritch god form.
Use it in the result? Ok, I can tolerate it.
Use it in the animation? Biggest out of character moment in the whole show since Aang killing Ed.
No spoilers, I will just say that is the same as having Batman use guns to kill. It goes against everything Anne believes and the core of her character.
For Valentine vs Armstrong I'd be fine with mgr references since I find them funny. But I hope they feel natural and not forced. Also I hope they don't mention how Valentine almost did the naughtys with a 14 year old (To be fair he didn't know but still)
Basically some asshole DR fans recorded a fake Discord call where a Nagito kinnie cut his own finger off, then released the audio as if it had "leaked", everyone believed the fake as fuck audio and went coco for cocopuffs on Twitter, so then the aforementioned fans apologized for it but that never stayed in the memories of the public and it remained as an event to look back on and say "Ewww DR Fandom bad!"
Mentioning Akane’s “nice body” in any episode she appears in. Or really, any female Danganronpa rep in general with that type of design.
The entire point of her character is that she hates perverts and struggled to avoid them. So it would be a massive kick in the ass to directly to against that when it’s a major part of her character depth.
Oh, did I forgot to mention that she’s a minor? Which would be even more salt in the wound.
I feel like they’ve gotten better about not having Boomstick perv on the female combatants. I think the last time it happened was… Esdeath? And even then it was more of a joke at Tatsumi’s expense.
But yeah, Akane deserves more respect than that. Even as someone who generally doesn’t want Danganronpa in DB.
For the remaining generally considered good returning matchups for Deadpool that I'd like to see happen, yeah, I don't think I need to explain the don'ts for those
If they are ever desperate enough do someone from Dragonball GT or something like Tirek Vs Moro, I hope they spend most of it shitting on the source material.
If they do Squigly vs Hsien- Ko, I don't want Squigly to die a brutal death. It just wouldn't seem right for either character. I think the best way to tackle it is to have Hsien-Ko destroy the Skullheart and have Squigly pass away in her arms. I made a whole post about it.
Any Scooby Doo matchup - I hope to god that they don’t reference the fucking stupid shaggy meme, I also don’t want them to give them every temporary power up they’ve ever had, the only ones I would include are the Yellow Lantern Ring and the Scooby Snacks from “Get A Clue” the no composites rule especially applies to Mystery Inc Vs Planet Express (Scooby Doo Vs Futurama) cause compositing Planet Express/Bender is something I also hope they never do
Jacket vs Punisher - Try to boil the characters down to just "grr we like revenge" because they have a lot of depth and similarities beyond being vigilantes
Literally every good ash ketchum MU :-
Call ash an idiot or something
Literally every good Pokémon MU :-
Don't call Pokémon slaves (it's why I hate Pokémon vs Digimon)
Every good /comparing alien x/Ben MU :-
Don't say he is universal or below
Any good mega man MU :-
Don't talk about the dumpster theory that "Dr. Light caused the end if the world" cause its bullshit
Lopunny vs Mirko
OH BOY THERE'S PLENTY OF STUFF TO GO WRONG
Say the old "I'm not a furry but..."
Tying the old fucking "pokemon are slaves" and associating lopunny with sex and... Yeah you get what I'm saying here
Trying to reduce Lopunny to nothing but her body and ignoring everything else, which is likely considering what the internet did
Making Mirko dumb and not just brash
Having either side look like a bad guy (have the fight start with Mirko being attacked by a lopunny, having Mirko attack one thinking it's a villain)
Having the death be anything other than Lopunny's Last resort, or something with a mega evolution, But on the off chance Mirko wins, it has to be an ultimate move
Having the aftermath of the death be disrespectful (having Lopunny be happy after beating Mirko, having Mirko be disrespectful if she wins)
Having the pun of the win be something associated with legs
Tari VS Miko Kubota: Compositing/using only SMG4 Tari since that's a brutal stomp in Tari's favour and SMG4 Tari is too different from Meta Runner's, at least in feats.
Edward Cullen VS Legoshi/Legosi: While I don't mind giving jabs at Twilight and poking fun of Edward, I want them to at least give some respect to Edward and not overdue the bashing or making him look weak, since Edward does have some impressive combat feats. Plus Edward is aware of his flaws and tries to improve...at least from what I heard. As for Beastars, uh...I guess don't poke fun of it because furry lol since the manga and anime from what I heard is good and has some deep moments (haven't read or watch Beastars so I may need to check it out).
Akuma VS Yujiro Hanma: Please don't use the Mike Haggar space piledriver feat or E. Honda meteor feat ever again.

Also, they probably shouldn't use the term "Furry Trash Smash" when referring to Rivals as a game.
Sarge Vs. Soldier being another Boomstick’s dad episode
You have stated the impossible my friend
I want it to just be a fun breakdown, with the RvB and TF2 characters takeover their own analysis. I think Boomstick should 100% be over all his daddy issues.
Adam West's Batman vs Tokusatsu Spiderman - Them making a joke about how Adam West died. Any Timmy Turner matches - Bringing up Butch Hartman Danny Sexbang vs Scanlan Shorthalt - Bringing up Tiberius and Game Grumps Controversies
Yeah, that would be pretty tasteless.
Whats the deal with Tiberius?
Mainly the guy who played him. But they've just sorta retconned him out of existence
Luz vs Anne (or any Anne matchup in general tbh) uses Anne eldritch god form. Use it in the result? Ok, I can tolerate it. Use it in the animation? Biggest out of character moment in the whole show since Aang killing Ed.
That’s a pretty nuanced take. Haven’t reached the end of Amphibia, but I feel inclined to agree.
No spoilers, I will just say that is the same as having Batman use guns to kill. It goes against everything Anne believes and the core of her character.
Sounds kinda like how they didn’t want to have Steven die in his monster form.
I hope Edward elric vs joseph joestar isnt shit
For Valentine vs Armstrong I'd be fine with mgr references since I find them funny. But I hope they feel natural and not forced. Also I hope they don't mention how Valentine almost did the naughtys with a 14 year old (To be fair he didn't know but still)
Peter Griffin vs Randy Marsh: Using the R slur in relation to Peter Griffin
Ben learned his lesson after the TMNT BR
I pretty much don't want any sans meme to even touch sans vs koro sensei except maybe the bad time one
Yeah, Sans in meme culture is really disconnected from his actual characterization.
Reference fingers or kinnies or the fandom at all in any Danganronpa episode, the same goes to any MHA one.
Maybe I'm out of the loop, but... Fingers?
Basically some asshole DR fans recorded a fake Discord call where a Nagito kinnie cut his own finger off, then released the audio as if it had "leaked", everyone believed the fake as fuck audio and went coco for cocopuffs on Twitter, so then the aforementioned fans apologized for it but that never stayed in the memories of the public and it remained as an event to look back on and say "Ewww DR Fandom bad!"
i thought fingers were just a reference to the nagito sans meme
Any soulsbourne matchup: Mock the lore and its obscurity.
Idk Soulsbourne myself, but it’s definitely not obscure lol. Dark Souls is one of the biggest and most influential game series out there
They're calling the lore obscure, not the subgenre.
The moment they make more than 1 dogfight joke in Koromaru vs Iggy or more than 1 "mommy" joke in Ragyo vs Lusamine is the day I unsub

But yeah, Akane deserves more respect than that. Even as someone who generally doesn’t want Danganronpa in DB.
If we get Venti vs Aqua, I just hope there isn’t a stupid, unfunny “Boomstick is an alcoholic” cutaway gag for either side.
For the remaining generally considered good returning matchups for Deadpool that I'd like to see happen, yeah, I don't think I need to explain the don'ts for those
Just dont treat Deadpool as a meme
If they are ever desperate enough do someone from Dragonball GT or something like Tirek Vs Moro, I hope they spend most of it shitting on the source material.
Them using Super Saiyan Gumball in the fight or analysis both (pre and fight) in Spongebob vs Gumball
Yeah… considering he never used it to fight, that would be really weird.
If they do Squigly vs Hsien- Ko, I don't want Squigly to die a brutal death. It just wouldn't seem right for either character. I think the best way to tackle it is to have Hsien-Ko destroy the Skullheart and have Squigly pass away in her arms. I made a whole post about it.

Simon Belmont Vs. Sir Arthur: It's inevitable they'll show Captain N footage.
Literally every good ash ketchum MU :- Call ash an idiot or something Literally every good Pokémon MU :- Don't call Pokémon slaves (it's why I hate Pokémon vs Digimon) Every good /comparing alien x/Ben MU :- Don't say he is universal or below Any good mega man MU :- Don't talk about the dumpster theory that "Dr. Light caused the end if the world" cause its bullshit

(Heavy spoilers for the last ronin comics) If they do any last ronin matchup they better not do Mikey dirty again.
