Goku vs Superman. Epic Rap Battles of History

[FortuneSSJ]

I found out about their channel thanks to this video.
Its always thanks to DBZ.

Scrolled down. Started to read comments section. Stopped. Took cold shower.

[Polyphase Avatron]

That's just embarrassing...

Assuming you're talking to me, it's not that I actually like Soulja Boy (I think he kind of sucks), I just found the line in the video funny.

Sorry, your post was right after mine so I just assumed...

[Hellspawn28]

That was pretty enjoyable. I wish it was longer though.

[Polyphase Avatron]

May I ask what RWJ did that was so bad? Last time I checked the worst he did was upload videos where he talks about viral videos.

Yeah, I concur. He did a good job as Goku (although his last line about Christopher Reeve was a bit harsh)

That was nothing compared to some of Hitler's lines in his 3 ERBs.

"You stink, Vader. Your style smells something sour.

You need to wash up, dawg. Here, step in my shower!"

"You look stressed, Vader. You appear to be in pain.

You need a vacation. Here, take a trip on my train."

"You're just a sad, asthmatic robot freak who needs some lovin'!

Well, I baked you something, here! Pop into my oven!"

[DoomieDoomie911]

I didn't like it, but that's coming from someone who doesn't like any of their videos. These kind of things just aren't my cup of tea...

[WesMan23]

Still a better performance than Chatku. In all honesty though, I enjoyed it. It was an amusing different take on the overdone Goku vs. Superman cliché.

Yeah but that's Adolf Hitler, the man responsible for the deaths of six million Jews, so you'd imagine he would say things like that. Son Goku on the other hand isn't expected to be so crass.

Er... He isn't expected to rap at all, let alone intelligent lines. All the characters in this show are written with the benefit of hindsight, no one is completely in character.

I actually thought it was quite entertaining and I have never really liked Epic Rap Battles of History. That being said it's the nitpicks that get to me. Why did they give Super Saiyan Rayku blue contacts instead of green arrrrrgh.

The obviously wrong base form hair of Goku doesn't bother you but the blue eyes in Super Saiyan form do?

[Polyphase Avatron]

Well getting Goku's hair to work in real life is an accomplishment in and of itself.

The eyes are blue in the manga.

The eyes are blue in the manga.

Except in the full color shots of the original Kanzenban release.

You shouldn't give Toriyama too much credit when it comes to colors, even he admitted that they are inconsistent and he doesn't care. This is every other full color page of a Super Saiyan with visible eyes from the Kanzenban:

Spoiler:

And there are other drawings of Super Saiyans by Toriyama with either green or blue eyes. But even there, the eyes are blue most of the times.

Huh never really thought about that, though I'm still going with green as the definitive colour. I guess the bottom line is consistency's a bitch.

[Sinestro]

I loves the last line.

And yes, I chuckled at "Superman that ho!"

"Freeze your whole measly species." I have to assume that's a sly freeze reference there.

I think Goku called superman a hayseed? Hypocritical humor there!

All in all, I thought it was very well done.

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

"Defeat me with heat beams, you're crazy"



That line wins it for Goku.



No biases, of course.

Next time, I should pay attention to the lyrics. It was actually "pretty pasty to be powered by the Sun". Oops :p

They're actually cyan most of the times (zoom in and compare them to actual blue) with the exception of Gohan in Kaioshin clothes, but even there the palette seems to be somehow altered (check Boo's gloves and shoes).
