Being signed up to a forum that constantly debates battles between fictional characters, you're such awesome-sauce for saying you find this hilarious. Clap for him/her you guys, he/she is so cool and above it all.
Plenty of people stay far, far away from versus debates in this series. Eventually it gets to the point where they are more annoying than fun.
That'd be me now. They're more annoying than fun now a days.
Spoiler:
Also Takahata101 played a character who didn't die for once. Also apparently Deadpool is a Goku supporter XD.

Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

Eh..Id say it depends on whether or not the people debating can keep it civil instead of devolving into this
I gave up on Death Battle ever since Rainbow Dash vs. Starscream.
Deadpool vs. Deathstroke was also bad.
I don't even want to talk about Goku vs. Superman because anyone who gives any opinion on that fight is inevitably drawn into the biggest argument ever so I'm staying neutral there.

They don't destroy galaxies in one blow like those scenes suggest. They destroy one planet at a time and Broly does it in his final form.
I never said they did. They would be galaxy level of that was the case. However they're clearly shown destroying the stars.
Canon is Jaco, Dragon Ball except for EoZ, Dragon Ball Super anime and manga (both are separate canons)
Kai >>> Z

What was bad about it? They were equally matched. Only reason why Deadpool won was because Marvel had a weapon DC didn't.
They never mentioned Thanos cursed Deadpool with immortality. Also Deathstroke could only ring out to win.

If those are planet-sized stars I have no problem with it. Just in case, I don't remember Broly destroying more than one planet in his final form, neither Boo. Is there any other scene I can see it clearly?
The galaxies turn dark so they must have destroyed stars

Oh those scenes. I'm from opinion that they could be freely disregarded as a feat, due to what we come to see after. Then, it would turn up that South Galaxy would become a Ghost Galaxy, full of ruined planets scathered around. Though you can still believe he actually destroyed stars, no problem.

I really think Deathstroke was not given the credit he deserved. He has tons of specialist weapons against various enemies so he would find a way to disable Deadpool even if he couldn't kill him.

If that's the case, they ignored it so Deadpool could possibly die-there is no point to a death battle if both parties can't die.

Death Battle is to the Death. no disabling whatsoever. No ringouts. The plot in manga and comics to prevent these sort of things, are thrown out to allow Death Battle. As for weapons, no prep time allowed for anyone, Deadpool got around this rule by carrying a magic satchel at all times full of his weapons, but Deathstroke didn't, so he only had his normal work stuff.

Well Starscream didn't die.

Still didn't die. I'm sure they even said he's not dead in outside videos.

Kirby Wins. So there you go. Also no Super Boo if you wanted him, only Kid Boo and Fat Boo.

Boo shot a Genki Dama-level blast at Kirby, Kirby ate it and vomited it back, throwing Boo into the sun. Honestly, Boo was mostly in control of the fight until then.
