I believe it's one thing when people go into detail on what they criticize and disagreed with, which Link gave an excellent constructive example of. Ben and others in the past have stated they actually greatly appreciate it when disagreements are handled in that fashion.

What Irish is referring to is the type of Death Battle viewer that has no concept or appreciation of the effort it takes to animate entire fights or the lengths the show has gone in researching these match-ups, and then go on to call them low-quality. We've all seen prime examples ranging from "they're biased towards/against (insert franchise)", "they have the worst research ever", and as Irish stated as an example, "the animation is shit".

I'll admit I certainly miss the days when Death Battle had longer fights, but I also take into account the time and effort its animators take to make even a two minute fight. Some simply don't, imagining it's super easy and wanting it tailor-made for them specifically, including the victor. That's the real pandemic at play.
