Talk:Bruce Banner vs Bruce Jenner/@comment-26778771-20160630033309

Here's my belief.

The beat of this battle was nice, and the visuals were on point for all rappers. The Hulk was incredibly well-done, and looked much better than most real-life recreations of the Hulk I've seen - even in officially licensed releases.

Bruce Banner's verse was excellent. Quick, snappy, well-written. Started the battle strong.

Bruce Jenner's verse was of equal quality. Even with being in an empty stadium for the most part, they made Jenner's environment plenty animated. Comparing the verses so far, it's even, and above average for ERB.

The transformation sequences - fabulous. Enough said.

The Hulk doesn't speak much, so four lines to start, that's cool. His first two lines are two of the most pointed lines in the battle; the next two might be the funniest lines in any ERB. Solid.

Caitlyn matches up with four more lines. These are good too, not quite as good as the Hulk's. Caitlyn keeps a level head and a sassy attitude, these give the lines a bit more punch. This confidence even helps the second verse.

The Hulk has another four lines. A bit meager, but still quality.

Then, in my eyes, the quality plummets.

Caitlyn then has eighteen lines of almost pure drivel. The first five lines are hollow and fluffy, followed by a reference to a dead meme; next, a clothing diss which says the same thing twice along with a recycled NoShame line and a completely out-of-place "Barney-themed party" statement. Then, a copy/paste of the Holmes/Batman battle (which honestly was the best part of the verse, since it really pertained to the opponent), and what might be the stupidest verse in Season Five so far about kitchen tile. The battle ends on an interesting but anticlimactic four lines.

Through this ending monologue, I was just praying, hoping that we'd go back to the Hulk to see him rap again, but instead I had to sit through Caitlyn's brand of rap that didn't fit ERB or this battle well.

The battle in my opinion is smack-dab in between two excellent and two good battles this season. All in all, it was great.
