Odin may not be able to kill Zeus, but that doesn't mean Zeus can't be incapacitated.

Depends on where they draw the line with that here, because the same could also be said for Odin to that degree, which also makes either of their immortalities a moot point. They didn’t bring up incapacitation as a real win condition for Hercules against Wukong, but then again, they also argued that Wukong had the stats and ability advantages that meant doing so would be difficult anyways.

Edit: Checked, and I was wrong, the poison was brought up as an incapacitation method and not a killing method, so they’d probably consider that viable here.

Odin vs. Zeus had a blog, actually. It's long, but I recommend you read it.

Just started the first game. Don't have the best idea if how strong War is.

Saying to “Keep an eye on the channel and social media” makes me hopeful that they have plans to keep the branding and control of the channel itself for now, which would be cool.

I would have hoped for something at least a little more concrete, but at least they seem pretty confident that the show will go on.

I do expect, even in the best case scenario of them moving to a new company and being able to keep the entire team, DB won't be back till next year. With all the time they lost with the shutdown, and the work needed to transition, as well as actually negotiating it, best to just assume we aren't getting anything soon till said otherwise.

It looks like they have options, but really need to think long and hard to make the decision. At least it's an update.

In my eyes there is a very high chance that the crew and planning something and it's something good such as a deal or a meeting of some sort. The only thing people can do is support the team and wait for updates.

I don't want to brag or anything but when it comes to being the worst, I'm always at the top!

So who would win in a fight.

Brock Samson (Venture Bros.) vs. Black Dynamite.

On the surface I'd like to imagine coming from a cartoon, Brock would have wackier equipment in his arsenal to win that fight.

...But I also know Black Dynamite is one of those absurd dark comedies that leads me to believe he has some insane feat that would win the fight.

[up]Brock might have some arsenals that would help, I don't know which, but I trust he could.

Hell, they both technically have very similar feats. Both have survived Outerspace stuff, however, While Black Dynamite needed a Space suit to be unaffected, Brock survived out in space without a suit and came out nearly frozen but conscious. However, Only Black Dynamite has the feat where he survived his Rocket ship exploding that stranded him in space to begin with.

Both have been electrocuted, but only Black Dynamite remained no selling it, while Brock was visibly knocked out by it, for a moment, but knocked out nonetheless. Both can tank Grenades at close distance, Both can casually tear through someone like butter, hell they've both killed people during a football game during their early days. Both are essentially quick as a bullet. It's safe to say what ever one could do, so could the other.

For me, I likely go with Black Dynamite because He's survived and no sold things that has briefly knocked Brock out.

Black Dynamite's best apparent feat is how he believes he could survive Nixon's "N-Bomb", a literal Nuke aimed for the Black Community. He's fully confident he would survive it, he just knows everyone else is screwed. Given all the stuff he's able to back up and do, It's fair to say he could.

As for speed feats, Black Dynamite once threw a boomerang into a room, but it got there after he did.

He also once got stranded on the moon and threw a moonrock at OJ Simpson back on Earth. He got back before the rock did.

[up]To be fair, he hitched a ride with Black Santa, alongside a Soviet Chimp, and the A bunch of now orphaned alien children.

if death battle does get a new season the first fight will be the ballot winner from last year? coyote vs tom?

Not exactly set in stone there, buddy. It could be in the middle of the first half of the season or toward the end of the second half. We didn't start or end Season 10 with Billcord or Cole vs. Alex, after all.

It’s impossible to tell. If they were going by their initial plan, then I personally wouldn’t be surprised if they did the match that the tarot cards were hinting at (assuming they were hinting at anything specific) first, but it also wouldn’t be impossible to imagine them doing Tom VS Wile first.

honestly I would prefer if they just began with the one we already know about so there's more mystery about what's coming next.
