Talk:Epic Rap Battles of History 72/@comment-26363928-20190206211305/@comment-3401602-20190206222554

While I disliked the matchup, I loved the battle and think the timing was fine. Breaking Bad had just ended and it was still fresh and exciting for everyone while The Walking Dead was still in its glory days (arguably, but I definitely think the show had a larger following then compared to now).

I personally think the characters were fine; albeit exaggerated slightly. Rick acknowledging he's "got a lot of issues" was kind of weird and Walter not even really attempting to gaslight his opponent but practically admit to everything he's done was slightly out of character, but then again, it would have been way harder to deny everything and still have that braggadocios factor so intertwined within rap battling. Pete and Lloyd's portrayal of them were fine. I think I preferred Pete's Grimes over Lloyd's White though. I think I would have liked to see the characters wear different costumes than their ordinary, vanilla ones; Rick in more tattered clothes or wearing his iconic brown jacket, or Walt in his red t-shirt to call back to the "I am the danger" scene, or a more Heisenberg-ish get-up, or even a hazmat suit/meth lab clothes.

There's definitely truck loads of material left untouched from the battle. I always thought it had good potential for a sequel, but now I think Breaking Bad's time has passed and revisiting it might not be as rewarding as expected. Rick Grimes would still have a lot of material though, especially with how the latest season's gone.
