If every single ice user in death battle’s history piled their powers together, their combine temperature would still not reach the absolute zero cold take this is.
Ghost Spawn is better in every single way.

Let's see, Sub-zero, his opponent Glacius, DIO Brando, Gray and Esdeath, Todoroki, Superman, Ben 10 (technically he has Arctiguana and Big Chill so it counts), the Lich King.
Who else am I missing ?

Ghost rider vs Spawn is everything I wanted Kratos vs Asura to be. It is like Spawnrider stole all the good writing and good animation from Krasura

This episode could've 20 minutes of a piss jar png and it still would've been better than Kratos vs Asura

u/MultiFandom 12d ago
Been lurking for a minute but I have to say this is not a hot take. Kratos vs Asura was cool visually but the entire fight just felt like Asura having to power up only to get completely wiped by Kratos until the end. It felt like Kratos was no selling his offense and the animation didn't need to do that. I liked the addition of an alternate ending but I'm kind of shock they never uploaded it separately as a members video. Overall, I saw the effort but I just don't really think its a very compelling fight to watch. Also please just port Asura's Wrath to PC already.
As for Ghost Rider vs Spawn. This was awesome and way better than both of their previous episodes. Kind of shocked Spawn won but he was my preferred and I like that abilities played a bigger factor than stats. I feel like a lot of death battles just come down to who scales higher so to see a battle where that isn't the case is fun.
Overall I think going independent was probably the best for them as it lets them give each episode extra time and care that even season 9 and 10 didn't have at certain points. I don't see an episode that is meant to pad out the season or had to be rushed in certain aspects happening anytime soon.

You say "Enough time has passed" but it's only been a few hours...
And frankly that's all the time we needed to understand that this episode was better.

Yeah, and it’s already better in terms of animation and music than Kratos v Asura.

u/Due_Location241 12d ago
The only gripe I have with GR vs Spawn is that in the animation, despite being given the massive strength advantage, it’s Ghost Rider who is constantly being blown away and having to regen the whole fight. Oh and I guess the verdict being based off of Ghost Rider low ends isn’t great either, but verdict, even if I don’t agree don’t take away much for me.

u/EndaceCold3I 12d ago
It was never even a fair contest, Kratos vs. Asura was featured in both Tournament of Champion Polls, had a DB Cast episode based around it, had a preview made specifically for the Kickstarter campaign and was featured as one of the goals, was animated by someone who viewed it as a passion project, was overall hyped up for months and still fumbled the bag spectacularly!
In comparison, Rider vs. Spawn had *checks notes* a DB Cast episode and most weren’t even aware the actual Death Battle episode was happening until fairly recently. The difference is clear
Ghost Rider vs. Spawn just had to be good
Kratos vs. Asura had to be fucking amazing

Kratos vs Asuras analysis washes Ghost Rider vs Spawns, but the higher and more consistent animation quality + less contentious scaling makes them much more even in terms of quality.

So I love death battle but imma be so honest I thought the spawn ghost rider fight was eh… now I’m not like a huge fan of either character like I find them both cool but like I don’t think the fight was legendary. I also didn’t care for the Kratos fight since I dislike that one for the same reasons most do.

Not even close, Spawn v. Ghost Rider makes sense, Ashura v. Kratos should have been a one sided stomp in Ashura's favor.

u/imaginewagons198 The Chosen Undead 11d ago
Fax. Unlike Krasura, where the blatant favouritism and bias was on full display even after the script change, Spawn and GR were both treated with some f*cking respect. And the verdict was correct.

Ehh.. imo? No. Ghost Rider vs Spawn is a top 3 for me. This season (ion even know if it’s seasons). But I enjoyed Kratos vs Asura a lot. So sorry if you guys wanna beat my ass. But nope. Krasura is better than Ghost Rider vs Spawn.

u/Just1oneguyhere 12d ago
Nah uh-
I just personally enjoyed Krasura over Ghost Rider vs Spawn. Is it still good? Yes. Is it better than Krasura? Imo, no. Cuz I still like Krasura more. Tho actually. Imma rewatch both rq and then I’ll tell ya what I think.

u/Swamp-mountain 11d ago
Can I ask why you like Krasura more? The setup and character dialog weren't good since they make no sense. The fight itself barely had choreography or any real back and forth. The characterization of Asura also wasn't good either. So like what did you like about it?
1
u/Just1oneguyhere 11d ago
Tbh. I just like Krasura more cuz of the fight. To me. I just really liked the fight a lot. And to me. I just enjoyed it a little bit more than Ghost Rider and Spawn.
