Facts I thought that was a fun detail that they threw in & I love it because it’s so Omni-Man

More like how to take a punch not throw one he was trying to tell him how to reduce damage from a punch.

A comment that I've seen concerning this fight that I think is quite accurate went like this: *"This was like genetically enhancing a Silverback Gorilla, giving it a century of combat experience and training, and then sending it after a middle school bully with a laser pointer. This wasn't a fight, it was an execution."* Pretty much on-point. Nolan is a millennia-old conqueror with the combat experience and training to match, while John is nothing more than a glorified bully who merely happened to be a big fish in his own "pond". And the moment John set foot in Nolan's "pond" he got eaten by a bigger fish looking for an afternoon snack. Hell, even if Homelander was up against Invincible instead of Omni-Man, it's very likely that he still would have lost, especially when Mark went ballistic at seeing what Homelander had done to his mother. Mark would have snapped so hard that I doubt even Nolan could have stopped him (not that Nolan even _would_ stop Mark).

When?

Yongyea is a voice actor for Homelander? Really?

@@Alltimefox Sure is! YongYea, when he's not covering gaming news/controversies, is a very talented VA!

@@senpai5175 it's the pinned comment in the actual Death Battle Video.

​@@senpai5175 After the Death Battle was released. Check pinned comment.

actually Viltrumites are weak to a small range of frequencies the implant in Mark's ear was said to randomly change pitch and rythm in those frequencies while they did fudge Homelander's scream to make it more damaging, its not like Viltrumites have this specific "needle in a haystack" frequency that they're weak to

@@mrroboshadow Thanks for the correction. There’s a rather large margin between “small range” and “specific”.

@@goldenaries0860 no worries To be fair i think most people confuse that with a point later on in the series where a character reveals viltrumites are affected by a specific frequency But thats regarding putting them into a hypnotic coma like trance

Any advantage he would've had, should've been outdone by _hundreds to thousands of years of battlefield experience_

@@magne7771 and it was.

😂

He could literally just fly through them head first, I think the sudoku would be the hardest part for him.

@@Basshead004I dunno. He really knows how to THINK!

But could he beat Goku? NO.

@@pantyosashu8137 Depends when in the continuity. I suspect that he could probably beat Saiyan Saga Goku quite easily. However by the time Goku shows up in the Namek Saga, I suspect he's far outstripped Omniman by that point.

😏

Good point 🙂 but Mark is also half human too right? 🤔

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2Technically not half, they said he is almost a full blooded viltrumite. So more like 90/95% viltrumite.

Wasnt it said that mark counts as a pure Viltumites

​@@R-XI_SullaBasically. Pretty much anyone bedded by a Viltrumite is a full Viltrumite (well, maybe with some oddities every now and then).

Haha, very on brand for the two series 🙂

Yes. In the "Invincible" cartoon, the Guardians' deaths were a lot messier than the comic, but they were still quick despite their sheer brutality. Here? It makes Red Rush's death look like a relaxing massage. Because Homelander made the huge mistake of killing Debbie and make Omni-Man go completely berserk (albeit in a subtle fashion, though there was no masking the pure rage that Nolan had deep down despite how it perfectly subtle it managed to be), and the result was first a session of inhumane mental torture for Vought's cash-cow, reducing him from having a smug attitude to panicking upon witnessing his oh-so loved reputation get destroyed, as well having to taste what being helpless feels like (to which he can only throw a tantrum, being the pathetic manchild he is), at which point where, once Homie threatens to kill Mark, the Viltrumite goes all out to give John the long, torturous, unspeakably horrible death he deserves, having his jaw torn off in such a way that it's only barely held by a few strips of raw red meat flayed right down to the bone, then having his heart gruesomely ripped out and, when trying to take his disembodied organ back from Nolan's clutches to no avail, being reminded of what he was promised earlier before having his own heart shoved all the way down his distended, gruesomely mutilated mouth before being finished by Nolan, who proceeds to slowly squeeze Homelander's head between the palms of his hands until it pops like a watermelon. It's a death as inhumanly gruesome as it is utterly well-deserved, and it shows how Homelander lost the fight (if it deserves to be called so, anyway) before it even began. It's so one-sided that calling it that would be insulting. No mercy. No holding back. Just a battle-hardened soldier with many years of experience in the warzone vs. a middle-school bully all-grown-up with an ego larger than the Milky Way galaxy who never learned how to properly throw a punch and, for all intents and purposes, is nothing but a sniveling coward deep down.

I wouldn’t say best battle because it wasn’t really a battle. It is most defiantly a top 5 episodes though.

I wouldn't go that far, I wouldn't even say it's the best of its season, let alone overall.

one of my favorites.

It's more like one of the laziest in terms of writing in this death battle, while being one of the best in terms of overall quality.

@@huyle-ob8rg It was more like they were just trying to match themes instead of power levels, we all knew it was going to be a stomp before it started, it was mostly just for catharsis.

One of the most brutal

Reverse flash vs Goku black gives it a run for its money.

I feel the death is only rivaled by Hulk vs Doomsday.

Brutal and very satisfying 😁

True

And this episode was so morbidly satisfying because of how cocky that big fish is. Seeing him eat absolute shit for a change is just awesome.

Yup. I'd have loved to see Homelander try and push around someone like Goku, Vegeta, or Beerus from Dragonball. Goku would probably tolerate it and try to talk him down up until Homelander threatened or tried to harm his friends or family. Vegeta probably would have pounded him into the dirt until Homelander was literally begging for mercy. Beerus likely would have just Hakai'd Homelander and been done with it, as he'd likely remind Beerus of the rabid animal and psychopath that Zamasu was. Or, better yet, put Homelander up against someone like Sentry, Hyperion, or Ikaris from Marvel (who are pretty much all based on Superman to some degree). Hell, speaking of Marvel, I highly doubt Homelander would even be able to handle Juggernaut despite the fact that Juggernaut can't fly....I'd love to see Homelander try to send Juggernaut flying, only for Juggernaut to not move so much as an inch. I love seeing psychopaths like Homelander get their comeuppance, and I also love redemption stories like what Omni-Man has been getting (Omni-Man's redemption arc actually reminds me of Endeavor's redemption arc in My Hero Academia, just to a far more extreme degree).

Kill his "pet", and he gets pissed but not enough to kill you instantly. Threaten his son and you die NOW.

​@@greg77389he didnt actually think she was a pet, i think it was of his way of processing his immortality vs her mortality. That was his way of processing the difference in their lifespan..... he really cared about her

Agreed 😁

Haha that’s a fair point. Although the per line about his wife was super cold 🥶

After reading the comic, I came to the conclusion that Nolan is possibly one of the best "dad" figures out there. The problem, and why I couldn't figure out what was bothering me at first after I finished reading the comic, is that the story is primarily told from Mark's point-of-view. The problem with that is that Mark is a sheltered kid, and has no idea what is going on out in the universe or behind-the-scenes. Nolan, however, does. Nolan is a member of a very hierarchical, warrior species that regularly purges itself of "weakness" and has spent many thousands of years conquering a good portion of the galaxy. Nolan was born into this culture, grew up in it, it's his life, it's all he knows. He's a warrior, a conqueror, and he's very good at it. Nolan is also somewhere in the Top Ten strongest Viltrumites, possibly Top Five. Mark, however, is none of these things, but Nolan knows that as soon as the rest of the Viltrumites find out about Mark (and they WILL when they get to Earth, because the Empire IS coming to pay a visit to Earth) they are going to put Mark to the test like they do to ALL of their own species, and WHEN (not "if", but "when") Mark fails that test, they are going to "purge" him. Nolan knows that the Viltrum Empire IS coming. Nolan was supposed to have conquered Earth years ago, but he didn't. Nolan developed "feelings" and was trying to figure out a way to get out of having to conquer the planet, purge the "weak", and enslave the rest of the population. However, he also knows that he can't beat the entire Empire, and that everything that Earth has can't beat the Empire either, even if he sided with the Earthlings. Nolan also knows that the Viltrumites are dying out, as a species. There's only a few tens of thousands of them left, because they keep "purging" themselves, they keep getting into fights with other species that the weakest Viltrumites die in, and they just don't breed very fast. Viltrumites CAN interbreed with other species, and as Nolan tells Mark later on in the comics, Nolan has had many wives and many kids during his millennia of life, but none of them have had powers. Until Mark came along. Apparently, Human-Viltrumite children inherit Viltrumite powers, unlike the other species they've come across. Nolan also knows that as soon as the Empire finds out about this, they're going to see the Humans as not just another slave species to dig and refine resources, but as a breeding-slave species, and as a way to replenish their ranks, since the Humans breed much faster. The Empire will literally stop at almost nothing to conquer the planet then, and it is likely that Mark (assuming he somehow survives the testing and "purging" that all young Viltrumites undergo) will be seen as a particularly nice rape-toy by stronger female Viltrumites. Incidentally, this actually happens to Mark later, after the Empire gets to Earth. So, when Nolan beats the crap out of Mark, and tells him about the truth of the Viltrumites, he is trying to prepare Mark to survive as best he can in a world that Nolan KNOWS will be conquered and subjected to Viltrumite rule. Mark will be forcibly taken from Nolan and Debbie, tested and trained, and expected to act, think, and behave AS a Viltrumite, by OTHER Viltrumites, and that Nolan is powerless to stop that from happening.

@@vishnu79 nice comment man

Maybe not best father but like Silco from Arcane the best father he could be with the upbringing he had.

We are glad to be back at Death Battle as well 😁

If Omni-Man had wanted to, he could have killed him in the first second, but Homelander fucked up and pissed him off by killing Debbie - even if Omni-Man only viewed her as a pet, he still loved her. Letting Homelander think he could win, letting him flail about in futility, he wasn't just killing his body... he killed his spirit.

We have Brightburn, but who knows he might get another movie. And, possibly put him over Homelander.

@@jbeastjj7936 Just by speed I feel we can confidently say that a Brightburn any older than he was in his movie might be too above Homelander.

@@julioc.3158 agreed

They at least did a good job giving us (maybe just us though haha) a sliver of doubt with the sonic speech and laser eyes. But Omni Man is just way more impressive 😎🤟🤩

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 indeed. And the reasoning was good too. Nolan has fought many aliens of many races, some with super strength. While Homelander only ever fought humans and supers who were never as strong as strong as he was. He's never fought an actual super villain such as Metallo, Darksied or Brainiac. So his disadvantage was clear. Nolan himself in the fight asks _"What's the matter, never fought someone your own size before?"_

Yeah feels like it could’ve been over even sooner if Omni Man had a dinner reservation to get to 😝

Yes it was satisfying to see Homelander get crushed like this 😁

😎🤟🤩

With good reason 🙂

😎👍😀

Hope you enjoyed it 😀

Not a nerf. The eyes and ears are a valid weakness, even for Viltrumites, as confirmed in the comics. And if you notice, the eyes and ears are the only places Omni-Man actually took any real damage. And still he was able to heal almost instantly. The fact is Homelander exploited both weaknesses and still couldn't do shit because he's severely outclassed, not that I'm complaining! This was a good fight as far as Death Battle fights go

🥳🥳

It was first death battle bet for betting so we were both gun shy I think 🤗

😂 🤢

😎🤟🥳

Thanks for the recommendations for future death battle and glad you like the betting touch we added this year 😁
