No.

ERB should not return to how it started.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't have anything in particular against S1.

But why ERB shouldn't return to S1 is because the suggestions of S1 were based on how relevant the characters in the battles were at the time of their release. Take Sarah Palin. She was quite relevant at the time Sarah Palin vs Lady Gaga was released, but today, she's not that relevant.

Suggestions from S3.5 onwards are now based on historical relevance, or, in other words, how much the characters have aged since they were first heard of. Here's a few examples:

Napoleon Dynamite (movie) hasn't aged that well, while Dragonball Z is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most popular anime of all time.

Chuck Norris jokes have gotten old and overused, while people today continue to quote scriptures written by Confucius or Nietzsche

Kim Jong-Il's legacy has been overshadowed by his son Kim Jong-Un's reign since he took over, while Julius Caesar is known to have built up one of the largest and most powerful empires of all time.

Billy Mays and Vince Offer's commercials are barely remembered and their products are barely used, while Walt Disney, Jim Henson, and Stan Lee have created characters who are practically immortal.

This series is called Epic Rap Battles of History. Emphasis on History. ERB isn't doing match-ups based on people who are relevant in today's news, but people who have accomplished feats that have revolutionized and changed the world, and characters that have aged well over the years and still remain popular.

So in short, AWC:
