Lyrics

[Note: Zeus is in turquoise, Thor is in gold, Loki is in green, and Cerberus is in brown.]

Zeus:

How dare you challenge my immortal throne?

I'm the father of the Gods! Put your daddy on the phone!

Maybe Odin could beg me for a truce 'cause when Zeus lets loose,

I'll put your cross-dressing neck in a noose!

I'm like Medusa: I stone a mother fucker if he looks at me wrong!

I'm a bull getting bitches with my swan schlong!

I'm on point like Poseidon's trident!

Rhymes colder than the frosty balls of your giants!

Thor:

Allow Thor to retort, you shape-shifting rapist,

And get a taste of this Scandinavian greatness

Brought forth by my raging thunderstorm force

'Cause I don't get nice. I get Norse! (Noirse!)

Valhalla-atcha boy and we'll flyte it out,

But keep your Asgard up; I Ragnarök the house!

You tongue kiss your sister! That's grosser than a Gorgon!

I'm the thunder down under, nailing Natalie Portman!

Who would ever worship someone as abusive as Zeus is?

You're ruthless to humans! Your crew is like the clash of the douches

Ruling over the Greeks: a people weak and frightened!

I'd spit in your face, but you'd probably like it!

Zeus:

Only a mindless fool would knock the fathers of philosophy.

My Greeks built the bedrock of democracy!

With astronomy, they charted out the movements of my kin:

All the pimps of Mount Olympus and me the kingpin!

Let this sink in: I'm about to rain on your parade!

Itchy trigger finger quicker with the bolts than Usain!

You're history! I'll be the first to put it in writing!

MC Hammer just got struck twice by greased lightning!

Thor:

Rain, old man? This is hardly a drizzle.

You couldn't give the women in my homeland the sniffles!

You can keep your astronomers. I'll sail with the conquerors

For thousands of kilometers, discovering the continents!

I'm alpha dog dominant! You can't beat me!

I will drop you like Greece's GDP!

Send you deeper underground than the depths of your Hades!

Now, make like your daddy and swallow my babies!

Zeus:

You think the Underworld scares the ruler of the skies?

You're joking! Loki must have written your lines!

By the time I'm finished whipping you with wits and rhymes,

You'll need a lighter for your ship 'cause a Viking just died!

Thor:

Your glory days are over. The Oracle shoulda told'ya.

I'll kick your wrinkly dick back in your toga like "Opa!"

Here, take these drachma for your eyes.

When you get to River Styx, tell your three-headed bitch I say "hi." (Woof!)

Scrapped lyrics

Thor:

You've never been to war with the likes of Thor before!

The Oracle should have warned you of the blood and gore!


You tongue kiss your sister and consort with Gorgons!


You're ruthless to humans, I'm pooching on this God of the douches,

And when we're through with this your hubris will send you to Hades!

So make like your daddy and swallow my babies.

Zeus:

I'm the father of the Gods, Barbie, mind your manners!

Odin can't touch this, let alone MC Hammer!

Flip more middle fingers at you than a hundred-hander!

Take your little tool away, you're just a blond Bruce Banner!

I'm Olympic gold standard, on point like a trident!

Drop science colder than the frosty balls of your giants!

Poseidon couldn't fathom the depth of your thickness!

I bask in the sun, you chose the land of Christmas!


Take your tool away, you're just a blond Bruce Banner!


Get this through your horny head:

You fuck with Zeus, you end up dead!


"But I have to save the mortals!" Ech! Blow me.

I'll be boozing on some ouzo at the beach with Loki!

There's a 100 percent chance in the weather forecast

Of Zeus raining wrath down upon Thor's ass!

Thor:

You look miserable, old, and fat.

And you grope so many maids you surely have the thunderclap!

It's the swan song for your bullshit, with Leda and Europa!

You shape-shifting rapist, keep your dick inside your toga!

It's over, I'll smash you like an ogre!

Thor's a mighty soldier, you're a poor carbon copy, only older.

Zeus:

You call yourself mighty but you're not to my liking,

So I'll strike this weak Viking twice with greased lightning!

This blond shit talker is soft as Betty Crocker!

I scarred Harry Potter, gave Ben Franklin the shocker‏!

Thor:

I'm a stone cut stud like I stared down a Gorgon,

Got the thunder down under nailing Natalie Portman!


You're ruthless to humans, the truth is you're God of douches!

Zeus:

I am the alpha and the O, mega!

You're Thor skinned dick cheddar, smegma!

Conquer the cloud-cold Nectar? Never!

Without the Avengers, you would never be remembered!

Trivia

General

  • This is the first one-on-one battle of Season 4.
  • This is the first battle where neither the thumbnail nor the cover art showed either rapper. Instead, it showed Thor's hammer and Zeus' lightning bolt, likely intended to keep the Lego style of the battle a surprise.
    • However, the thumbnail was changed a few weeks after the battle's release to feature the characters instead of the original thumbnail.
  • This is the first battle where something was visually censored, in this case, the Frost Giant's genitals.
  • This battle had the second most locations (without counting reused footage), with seven different locations in total, after James Bond vs Austin Powers.
  • This battle had the most amount of individual cameos.
    • However, the cameos consisted of Lego Minifigures, and thus did not feature human body actors.
  • On August 22, 2016, Zeus' quote in the Disney animated film Hercules, "A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the size of his heart," was written in the description.

Production

  • This battle was animated by Forrest Whaley, Sean Willets, and Zach Macias.
  • This is the first battle to be made from Lego.
  • This is the first battle of Season 4 to not have any female rappers, although multiple female cameos did appear.
  • This is the first battle of Season 4 to have no guest rappers.
    • However, it did have guest animators.
    • The only piece not made from Lego in the battle was the pixelated Frost Giant's testicles, made from sticky tack.
  • This is the second battle to feature a rapper(s) without a body actor, after Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates.
  • Not including the recording sessions or green screen cuts, this is the second battle to have more than one Behind the Scenes video, after Darth Vader vs Hitler.
  • This battle is the second to feature a three-dimensional ERB Logo, after Rick Grimes vs Walter White.
  • There are two pieces of Lego in this video that are from the Lego Harry Potter franchise. One is the Frost Giant, which is the Troll from the Troll on the Loose set, based on a scene from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The other is Cerberus, which is Fluffy, the three-headed dog from the Forbidden Corridor set, also from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Continuity

References

  • The "Immortal Throne" that was shown on Zeus' first background is similar to the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones.
  • The Lego character who was killed by Medusa was Dane Cook. This is a reference to a running gag in Forrest Whaley's and the wider Brickfilming community's videos in which Dane Cook is always killed in the most brutal and absurd ways possible.
  • Nice Peter's sunglasses appeared as a constellation, as did the duck from one of Forrest Whaley's videos, "The Duck Song".[1] Forrest's channel logo also appeared.

Errors

  • This is the fifth battle to feature a misspelled title card.
    • In this case, Zeus' title card in the Behind the Scenes part three is misspelled as Zues.
      • He is the second rapper to have a title card spelled correctly in the battle but incorrectly in the Behind the Scenes, after Billy Mays.
  • During the line "I'll put your cross-dressing neck in a noose!", "cross-dressing" is unhyphenated in the subtitles.
  • When Thor knocks out a Frost giant, it's testes are briefly shown uncensored for a few frames.
  • During the line "Allow Thor to retort, you shape-shifting rapist!", "shape-shifting" appears incorrectly as "shapeshifting".
  • During the line "Valhalla-atcha boy and we'll flyte it outc, part of Thor's hammer briefly cuts into Zeuss' backdrop.
  • During the line "All the pimps of Mount Olympus and me the kingpin!", "kingpin" appears incorrectly as "king pin".
  • During the line "You think the Underworld scares the ruler of the skies?", "Underworld" is uncapitalized in the subtitles.
  • During the line "You'll need a lighter for your ship, 'cause a Viking just died!", "Viking" is uncapitalized in the subtitles.
  • On the "Who won?" screen of the "Who won? Who's next? You decide!" sequence, one of the Lego pieces forming the "w" in "won" was crooked at the bottom left.
  • During the battle's end slate, "subscribe" was misspelled as "subcribe."
