My thoughts on Goku VS Superman 3

Holy shit.

Even after all the Death Battle team were doing to hype this episode up, even after the really fun analysis previews, even after the fight sneak peek dropped and I could not stop replaying it, I was STILL not prepared for how above and beyond this episode went.

The analyses are probably my favourites in any Death Battle. I really enjoyed the deeper dive into these characters' histories and origins, and they paid a lot of respect to both of them which I really appreciate. The ending to Superman's analysis in particular just gave me the warm fuzzies and I don't know why.

And that's not even getting to the fight.

Every single frame of this animation is perfect. I was a little surprised that they skipped Base Goku but that is barely an issue. The movements are so smooth, the models look amazing and the environments are really pretty as always. There are a couple moments where Superman's mouth doesn't match what he's saying, but I would assume that's due to limitations with the Fortnite model and it doesn't really bother me at all. The scene with Superman punching Goku so hard that it shows alternate versions of the fight with different iterations of the characters is really cool, and I love MasakoX and JustSomeRandomGuy reprising their roles briefly for that scene. The shot of the Thought Robot fighting Xeno Goku goes so hard, too.

On the topic of voice acting, I was again surprised to see they recast both Goku and Superman, but both Michael Kovach and Xander Mobus did an excellent job. Michael in particular does such a good job with the screams that if you told me he was being stabbed in the recording booth, I would believe you.

I also love how Goku and Superman are characterised in this episode. They're just friendly sparring partners, there are no hard feelings between them and I love that. Goku feels like he's having the time of his life the whole fight, and Superman especially gets to show off more personality than he did in either of his previous episodes.

And holy shit, the climax. Superman flies off into space, dipping into every star in the galaxy to power up. Goku just watches, smiling now that Superman has finally stopped holding back, and charges up one final Kamehameha. The phenomenal backing track also reaches its peak here, which I'm pretty sure is also one of my new favourite songs not just of the show, but also just in general. They have one final punch clash, which destroys everything, except for them.

The epilogue with Goku and Superman just being friendly and complimenting each other's strength after the fight, with Goku swearing he'll get stronger and Superman saying he looks forward to fighting him again... it's amazing. Easily one of my favourite scenes in the entire series.

I am in genuine disbelief that the Death Battle team managed to put out three episodes that rival, if not surpass Godzilla VS Gamera, which was my previous favourite of all time, in quality, and almost back to back to back, too. I feel like it goes without saying at this point, but Goku VS Superman 3 is without question my new favourite episode of the show. Bill VS Discord is a close second, but not even that can compare to how happy this episode makes me.

I can't wait to see all of the very civil, respectful and kindly-worded comments the Death Battle team are probably receiving right now regarding the verdict.

"You think you're being nice by depriving people of knowledge, Osborn? By depriving yourself of what you know is possible? What is true? The truth is meant to be shared with everyone. You don't hide it, you don't deny it, and you never back down from anyone in its way. Whether it's one man, an entire government, or the universe itself. And do you know why? Because everyone has the right to knowledge, Osborn. Man's knowledge informs all of his choices. And his choices define who he is. To deprive a man of knowledge, of his choice, is to rob him of his very identity, his character, his soul. There is no nobility in depriving people of the truth, Osborn. Only cowardice. Ignorance only gives the illusion of bliss. In reality, it's a prison. Because, it's a lie we don't even know we are living in. If you want to feel better, Osborn, give them the truth, and free them all. Because that's the only way, to truly free yourself."

It's amazing how a hobbyist with no budget can make a better Superman than a $100M professional studio.

I thought immediately of my fellow Avengers fans... PS. the "animated" Mjolnir is, I am pretty sure, a reference to Marvel's Super Hero Squad show where for a while Thor draws a face on it and pretends it can talk.
