*insert funny beaker joke here
Erm where did those spikes go
RAAAAH THE BEAKER HAS FINALLY BEEN REVEALED
We can rest
I want more death battles with rick.
I love how the Doctor is amused by the screaming sun. Like he just thinks its neat cause he's never seen that before.
Oh, wow. He really hasn't, he's seen sentient suns but not screaming ones.
What's really weird is that the entire time The Doctor is also trying his hardest to not be that man without rules.
He's like the Vampire King in the new season of Fionna and Cake "Huh, I've seen a new thing"
"oh I show that one to my companion sometime
honestly that's when i knew he was gonna win
Honestly, Rick ending up as a forgotten ghost is a kinder ending than most Doctor Who enemies recieve.

To those who are unaware of just how scary and evil Daleks are
Their extermination beams could be set to disintegrate on contact, but they choose to set it to just barely lethal, so you feel untold amounts of excruciating pain for a few seconds before you die
Yeah, Maximum Extermination will blow up a house, or more rightfully be the amount of power needed to destroy another Dalek, because that has been necessary before.
And one of them told an especially hate fueled incarnation of the doctor, "you would make a good DALEK", that is some A- grade fucked up right there
Not to mention the Reality Bomb
EXTERMINATE!
They literally scramble your internal organs according to Rememberance of the Daleks
I can’t imagine feeling that…
If Rick brings an apple to the fight he just might be able to keep The Doctor away.
This may be implied that the apple makes him stronger
SPOILER: The apple is rotten, just like his show.
Wtf it took someone THIS long to make that joke 💀
Ok Rick trying that and the doctor just grabbing it and eating it would be funny
oh brother this guy stinks
"Blink as much you can. They're scared of rapid movement." Loved that
That was just mean
indeed ! :D
Well, remember doctor's rule #1...
@@omegaj9 The Doctor always lies 😀
Rule 1: The Doctor lies.
I like how, after Rick gets D-matted, the starting scenario chnages. It goes from "Oi, you hit my TARDIS!" to "Aw, its just a kid on his first space voyage."
The doctor knows what he did, he’s just playing along
If I was doing that part of it, I'd have the Doctor offer Morty to be his companion... And leaving Ghost/Hologram Rick all alone.
@@utubrGamingthe hologram is implanted in morty's brain. It will just follow him forever.
@@ahmedally6957yeah after all he immune to all time manipulation effect so even Rick been erase from all timeline and mutliuniverse The Doctor still have that old memories.
I mean, I could see Rick bouncing back from this too, which is pretty Rick. Probably an episode where Rick drags himself from non-existence.
I also don't see the second fight going much better for Rick, since Timelord tech kind of beats conventional.
Of course, Rick's planet sized ego was what started the fight.
Could this be the first fully pacifist Death Battle victory? The Doctor never once attacked Rick, only ever acted to defend himself or disarm Rick's weapons, and in the end Rick's impulsive arrogance caused him to fire the killing blow at himself. Stunning work from the animation team here.
Maybe I was just reading into it but I liked that the Dr seemed hesitant to draw the gun even in a Death Battle. traditionally he always defeats his opponents by trapping them together.
Gotta be character accurate, and the 10th Doctor never once used a weapon on people. He was about to once, but then changed his mind and fired at a machine to beat Rassilon.
Imagine losing to a guy who was not even attacking you at all
@@gameuniverse5973 Rick has always been self-defeating. It's always his own hubris that ends up screwing him in the end.
It's quite genius. The Doctor could disarm Rick completely and make him completely powerless, but because this is a Death Battle, something has to be brought out to kill. As a result, that weapon would HAVE to come out of the Doctor's own arsenal.
Major props to the writers for keeping the Doctor a technical pacifist by having Rick be the one who fired the killing blow himself.
I really do like how during this whole fight the Doctor never even used a weapon.
@@willwh9228idc what you say: a spoon that can hold off a sword IS a weapon
@@Beast_the_smash_guy anything a weapon in a FIGHTING HAND!
@@Beast_the_smash_guy technically it's all about momentum in a sword fight. You may remember the scene of Goku fending of Trunks's sword with his finger? well, if the object is durable enough, say steel against steel, all you need to do is change your opponent's momentum
Then tenth doctor yes is a pacisficists but there are enough doctors in his timeline that would be willing too kill
I'm so glad that they didn't make the "Rick is aware of Doctor Who and therefore he knows everything about the doctor" card a big part of the fight - people really take it out of proportion, it's a single throwaway line in which he mentions he knows the franchise exists, but nothing beyond that. Do you really think a mad scientist like Rick is sat there binging some DW? No chance. However, I do like that they give him SOME knowledge in the fight to keep everyone happy, such as him name-dropping the time lords and knowing to shoot both sides of the doctor's chest because he knows he has two hearts
even if he did know the doctor would still win, plenty of the doctors enemies know all about him- it didn't help them
@@FranTheNerd Yeah that's very true - especially when you consider all the reoccurring villains such as Davros and the Daleks, the Cybermen etc. they have all had enough times to meet the doctor and learn everything but still get outwitted
I think Davros is interesting because he knows the doctor so well that he is the only one to exploit his true weakness - compassion
Rick seems like the kinda guy who heard of Doctor Who watched like ten minutes of one episode and decided he could do better then changed the channel
Yea, Rick would hate doctor who since rick thinks time travel is stupid
@@LeonardGreenpaw That's why he would have a device to one shot the Dr. with.. Rick wins low dif.
The Doctor's "recklessness" is actually something that helps them a lot, since some situations could not be defused in time by being cautious.
When time and death are effectively meaningless to you, you tend to not care for caution anymore.
@@daviddragonheart6798 Not that they are meaningless, The Doctor knows that with each Regeneration his song is closer to ending. In one of the seasons he has a sadistic choice: take a lethal amount of radiation to himself, or let the father of her companion suffer that fate... He actually hesitated, but ultimately decided to sacrifice one Regeneration to save someone who couldn't regenerate.
I'll still use male pronouns as that's whom the Doctor is most of the time.
"Blink a lot, they fear movement"
Okay, that was a good one. Not a drop of the Doctor's wit was wasted and I loved it.
Rule #1: The Doctor lies
Portal gub
Best moment of the fight
@@crazymanjj1 Yeah, most folks learn that one the hard way...
I'm shocked Rick bought the bait on that
I always love the line that is used as a threat against the Doctor. "Fear me I've killed hundreds of Time Lords" and his response "fear me I've killed them all"
The Doctor's Wife Season 6, Episode 4
@@andrewjones5297*Series
That was a lovely line..... IT holds so much that only those who know the show can understand.
Yep and then later on they retconned it so that Doctors actually save Galifrey but the War 9th 10th and 11th Doctor's believed they destroyed it because of Wars interactions with his future selves de-stabilizing his timeline and making the memories unretainable.... It's complicated.
Ah, the eleventh, easily my favourite of the doctors
greatest thing about the Doctor's win, is that not only did they not throw an attack other than disarming Rick of his sword, but also they didn't use any of the stupid god-mode items from the show's history like the Moment, the Hand of Omega, the Time Vortex, etc. makes this feel much more like something that'd actually happen rather than "the doctor wins because they can just use this funny artifact and win"
Keep in mind the doctor is trying to save people and doesnt really go in for violence. He probably could have created much more deadly weapons than rick
In the time war, in the comics, he made a weapon/device that reflected a user's reality warping against them.
_"A Sonic Probe? Its harmless!"_
_"Harmless! Just the word for it! Just why I like it! Doesn't hurt maim or kill, but it is really good at opening doors."_
"The first thing you notice about the Doctor of War is that he's unarmed… For many it's also the last."
There is a reason that the concept of bloodlusted Doctor is.... essentially 'you Lose'
"Well blink as much as you can, they're scared of rapid movment."
Absolutely kills me.

“Morty, if you forget me than I will haunt your ass.” I love that Rick is not even mad that he died, he’s just mad at Morty for forgetting him.
It isn't real Rick, it hologram
@@DartLuke it’s not. Hologram rick is blue, this one is white, is flying and has smoking coming from its body.
@@DartLukeoh it was a Hologram, i thought that it was his Ghost or something
Try not to spoil challenge (impossible)
@@arnaldoalange3869 since he's erased from existence across time his ghost is gone so that's why the ship Rick Ai is still there
I liked that they kept the Doctor to his 'ideal' of letting the 'bad guy' destory themselves
Had to run this fight over in my head over and over before commenting.... The outcome is accurate. The biggest piece of evidence is The Central Finite Curve, which isolated all Ricks from any potential threats to their intellectual superiority, The Doctor, however, had no such set of training wheels and has a list of enemies that could and have forced him (or her as of 13) to constantly develop mentally and seems to thrive off the challenges. In the words of Evil Morty, "Rick's don't like being challenged", and so him being the smartest man in the universe was an imposed default that stagnated him.
The finite curve was there anyways.
The fact that the Doctor showed up on the Screaming Sun Earth and just smiled like, "Well, that's a fascinating thing, innit?" was so a thing the Doctor would do.
I would expect them to go back the that sun and try to have a conversation with it.
To be fair, thanks to the TARDIS' translator gimmick the sun probably wasn't screaming to him but rather actually speaking normally.
He was lucky it was that planet and not planet on a cob.
His reaction made me chuckle a bit.
Not even annoyed just fascinated.
"Imagine... Billions of years, burning alone in the sky, whizzing through the universe with dozens of rocks whirling around you unceasingly. You'd be screaming too. He just needs a little chat with someone who can relate."
I love how at the end, The Doctor takes the time to go back and tell Morty not to become cynical. That's a great touch.
Nah, he doesn't go back. That's just what happened in the new, Rickless timeline. The Doctor and Rick have no idea what happened.
In the Doctor Who those exposed to time travel with a Tardis will remember things erased from time
@@kainthedragoon8081yep like Amy did, she remembered Rory and then the doctor, which freed him from the time thing he was trapped in
SPOILER ALERT EVERYONE DAAAAAANG
He's actually telling the Audience this.
I get a real sense of passion for how the Doctor is spoken about, researched, and potrayed.
I think it's because the DB team has been wanting to get the doctor in for ages - especially Ben, when they discussed this on DBCast a year ago, he was making a statement constantly about how the doctor is often disregarded and seen as a coward when he is actually one of the most powerful beings to appear on Death Battle
I also sensed much bias
@@sethkunert6234 You make it sound like Rick had any chance of winning
@@maniaccop3403 you make it sound like you are ignoring the point of the testicle monsters and snake episode. That's okay. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Just expect to get called out when you state it as fact
@@maniaccop3403 I do somewhat envy you whovians being able to confuse bad fantasy writing for science fiction lol.
I mean, the outcome was obvious: Rick is written to be OP, but not truly broken. The doctor is literally written in a way that even when he loses, in any situation, he wins.
I mean, all Rick had to do was shoot the doctor in the head.
@@inoox Tell that to the countless alien races the doctor has faced and annihilated over the years, most of which had more capabilities than Rick. "The first thing you realise about the doctor of war is that he's unarmed"
Saying that all Rick had to do was shoot him is just a complete disregard as the doctor as a character, and if you really want to double-down on it, look over the analysis again; they literally established that the doctor has dodged multiple laser beams all at once while also making several thousand calculations
Especially because Clara splintered herself in their timeline.
@@inooxbro there were times that the doctor’s enemies had him surrounded, guns pointed on him and the doctor had nothing. They all stood down in fear.
Clara Oswald once said winning is the only thing he's good at
Rick going on a blind rampage over a fenderbender while the Doctor just acts defensively is perfectly in character for both of them.
😂 absolutely agree
I thought that too. Often they have the characters be way more aggressive or unforgiving compared to their character to explain why they're fighting, but this was completely on point for both of them. This is exactly how it would go down lol
Yea, but both characters are supposed to be in peak condition. Their most deadly for the deathbattle.
I could do a hundred page essay on why Doctor who loses this fight. He's just an older more respected character
@@sethkunert6234wha?
@@sethkunert6234 oh so at their peak? so like when the doctor had control over the glory and could erase the concept of rick from being?
I like how genuinely happy and curious the Doctor is to end up on a world where the Sun is constantly screaming.
I bet he really wants to know why the sun is screaming.
@SirGlacius1 it's on fire and has a sense of self. I'd be screaming to.
@@CloudyNight2156 um acshually🤓 stars arent made of fire
@@JubioHDXyea, it WAY hotter, it would be better off being on fire lol.
@@JubioHDX Ummm ... Technically fire is "technically" a form of plasma with usually low levels of ionization. Hot enough flames are considered a pure plasma since at higher heats and densities fire gains sufficient ionization to be considered a pure plasma.
The sun itself and stars create what Plasma Physics call a "Burning Plasma". So "technically" the sun "is on fire". In a sense.
Well ... at least it can be argued (with semantics) to be "on fire", but not in the "traditional sense".
It was so funny how the doctor immediately wanted to leave and didn’t tell Rick anything about the weeping angels
I just had a thought. Due to the nature of being in space, there is no perfect reference point for who was moving towards who. While Morty admitted to hitting the Tardis, Rick chose to view their ship as a stationary reference point and therefore the Tardis backed into him. Cheeky
The Doctor ran because he didn’t want to kill Rick, let alone enter a conflict. And in the end, Rick learned the reason the Doctor ran away: he was being kind.
Demons run when a good man goes to war
You know you're screwed when the Doctor is kind to you
Loving all these doctor quotes.
makes an argument that both can dodge laser yet rick couldn't dodge laser genius destroyed they own plot
The fury of a time lord
The Doctor doesn't want you to run from him so he'll win. He wants you to run from him so you don't die.
Exactly, the Doctor will go out of his way to get things to end peacefully, he does not enjoy killing. But if you prove you will never take that offer, and there's no other way around it, he's not going to hesitate.
The man had enough determination to spend 2 billion years punching through solid diamond. If he's running, it's not because it's the quickest route to victory. It's because it's the kindest.

He shoots The Doctor on the left and right because The Doctor has two hearts
Rick mentions Time Lords by name, so he probably knows they have two hearts.

The heart is in the middle... he would have shot the lungs, not the heart, on a person.
@@danemr6808no the heart isnt in the exact centre plus we’ve seen x rays of the doctor where we can see hearts on each side of his body plus whenever they check his heart beat it’s also on opposite sides, his lungs would be way lower than that 😭
15:45 I like how bill is just watching the fight inside an arcade machine
My favourite part of all this is when The Doctor walks out onto the planet with the screaming sun he smiles as its something new to him that he's never experienced. Feels so wholesome and exactly what The Doctor would do.
“Huh… fancy that. A sun with a mouth.”
"And it's screaming at me.....FANTASTIC!"
I wish I can spam the like 👍 button a million times cause I would do that to both of these comments.
bet he would probably also teach the sun how to speak or sing or at the least figure out why it was screaming in the first place.
It's actually not too far off from the episode "The Rings of Akhaten" with Clara Oswald and Doc visiting a race that sacrificed people to the sun with a parasite, until Clara gave it her impossible leaf.
I like how when the Doctor saw the screaming sun from R&M he wasn't offput by it like the Smiths were, he just thought it was neat, like he was happy that he saw something new despite his thousands years of adventuring.
In a bit of fairness, the Smiths were looking for a new planet to live on and that was one of their few options, while the Doctor was just passing by. Different circumstances. But also yes, this does speak to the Doctor's character in comparison to theirs, notably that he's excited by new discoveries so would be happy to see this new planet with a screaming sun.

I was so happy they mentioned 11's run on Trenzalore, that itself shows the Doctor's abilities. To fight ALL of his enemies that managed to sneak through a barrier without his Tardis is impressive just pure wit and warrior strength to do that.

@@swampexpertextraordinaire6896 Yeah, he saved himself and let Rick pull the trigger. I'm not saying "The Doctor didn't try to off him and Rick's death is an accident he brought upon himself", it's not the first time that the Doctor does this: he sets up his ennemy to die if they go through with their intention to kill him.

This is another case where the characters' narrative role is what really determined who was going to win. Rick is the inciting incident and the Doctor is the deus ex machina. Rick creates chaos and the Doctor brings order to chaos.

@@richardsesmajr892 tbf, Morty is an idiot and The Doctor is at least on par with Rick in intelligence
Besides, the animation is just for something for us to watch and doesn't actually affect the results of the battle
@@richardsesmajr892 Portal Gun is a tool and frankly comparing the Doctors Intelligence to Mortys is a joke.
Actually kind of surprised by this outcome. As a fan of both I thought Rick would sweep this, but I guess even though typically the Doctor is a lot more tame he does have much more extreme edge cases. The difference, I guess, is that Rick is often overt, forward, blunt, and shows off, where as the Doctor is subtle, rarely shows his hand until it's being played, and works best and even prefers to be underestimated.
Which is probably why that scene from the first few episodes of the 11th Doctor always struck me as a very interesting inversion of his character, setting that one a bit apart, when he tells the aliens to look into their records for who he is and what he is capable of and then they withdraw immediately in fear once they find files on him.
I like how The Doctor he never actually decided on using the time eraser, he only ever got the chance to contemplate it. He took literally every chance to avoid the conflict that he could. And in the end, Rick's undoing was entirely by his own hand. Surprisingly satisfying to see.
technically that shouldnt kill rick because that only works in 1 universe and rick is multiversal and would just come back with pheonix protocol. i actually expected rick to pop up at the end when he was talking to morty as a full wood rick. and rick has made far stronger things than the doctors gun
@@quincyking010And so has the doctor lol he took out rick without even trying to kill him and that's without using his actually busted tech
@@IvanPetrov-wb1vbthat does not make any sense
It makes perfect sense. Rick dies here because he used the gun and Dr just portal it back on him.
They somehow preserved the Doctor's morals in their Death Battle. NGL, I've wanted to see some version of this episode since ages ago, and it's turned out better than I imagined .
I think my favorite part about the fight is The Doctor’s “fighting style”. He disarms Rick, hacks & overloads his equipment, traps him in a precarious situation and tricks him into destroying himself.
*HE NEVER DIRECTLY ATTACKS RICK*
The dedication to The Doctor’s character is incredible.
While true, leaving him to die by weeping angel (or I guess be isolated in time from that later weeping angel episode) is the equivalent of Batman not killing Raz in Batman Begins by not saving him from the train at the end. He's still directly responsible for the situation that leads to the death.
So suggesting the Doctor's hands were clean in his methods is silly.
Oh, geez. I just noticed that.
Yeah but at least "Death by Angel" isn't so bad since you still live out your normal life, just in the past after the send you back in time.@@pacmonster066

The fact that a different Rick solved episode 1's monster issue proves he's not the smartest in even the finite curve.
He's just Dead Wife Rick.
True, but he is apparently the only one besides Prime to independently invent portal travel, where every other Rick seemed to have either been given it directly or gotten a heads up by the other Ricks. Plus, he’s easily able to massacre tons of Ricks and bring the Citadel down while also massively smashing the Galactic Federation’s setup with terrifying ease. Give Dead Wife Guy some credit, that’s gotta count for something.
If only it were Matt Smith (11th). He could do the "The one thing you never put in a trap" speech

@ulisescastro9298 Fun idea, but Rick wins, easy. Most of Stewie's weapons are conventional. His craziest is a ray gun. Otherwise, it's swords, crossbows, rocket launchers, and fighter jets.
Ok but can we just appreciate these voice actors? They did a fab job!!!
I just love that the other characters in the arcade are hanging out and not fighting in a death battle
Honestly, the Doctor is so charming and disarmingly comical that I always forget he's secretly a badass limiting himself out of principle whereas Rick limits himself with ego, drugs, and alcohol.
Were it not for Rick's negative traits he probably would've had a higher chance I imagine.
Then again, were Rick as cool headed as the doctor and would he plan ahead for every ideal outcome, he probably wouldn't be Rick.
Yeah, the doctor never really choices violence if he does it was entirely your own fault.
EXACTLY 💯
@@__-tp4tmRick does plan ahead. A lot of his most insane feats required him to see a potential situation ahead of time and invent something to handle it. So when the moment randomly happens, he's ready for it, and has been ready for it.
It's actually the doctor's ability to think on his feet in the moment that caused the doctor's win.
They should do Invincible VS Gohan - Son of Omniman VS Son of Goku would be a really fun matchup!
Massive props to Elliott Crossley who played the Doctor here. I genuinely beloved they somehow got David Tennant to play him
But why specifically Tennant and not Smith, Capaldi (not Whittaker) mcgann, baker, Davison, Tom baker, mccoy,?
@@dylanrinker6831 Because, in order of importance:
1: Tennant is the most popular Doctor, especially in America.
2: His voice is one of the less quirky ones from the show
3. The VA they had could imitate Tennant the best
@@dylanrinker6831Likely because this is the 14th Doctor, the latest one who is also played by Tennant
Cuz he’s the best mfin doctor
mostly so he could say alons y
After this battle, they do have something in common.
Doctor Who.
Rick who?
I mean, Rick is literally inspector Gadget and his body is mostly cybernetic. Sonic Screwdriver is literally Rick's predator
I was half-expecting Morty to become the Doctor's next companion. Telling him not to be a cynic though is probably the most-helpful thing Morty's ever heard.
I had this same idea. I thought for sure he was going to offer to join him on the Tardis.
Wouldn't that be the biggest, "Haha, screw you. I win." from the Doctor though? He takes in Morty, teaches him how to actually be useful rather than just exploit him, and their adventures end up saving the universe multiple times. Morty just uses Rick's tech combined with Whovian guile and morals....
Time traveler vs dimension hopper. Ofc the time guy wins, he can win yesterday. The best the d hopper can do is win now and that can be to late.
@@tjl102 Rick can time travel, he just chooses not to.
@@MattwosRandomNonContent Because he sucks at it
The fight starting because the Doctor ignored Rick is hilarious. Also love him being nice to a very confused Morty at the end
fortunately this battle is less bloody than we thought😅
Kindness is one of The Doctor's key features.
I am frankly surprised the Doc left Morty there and never offered him the chance to be a companion. You could call it *Who's with Morty*
Saving a kid from an old cynical genius who thinks he's god, just another Monday for the Doctor.
In the end Rick's own hubris was Rick's undoing
Rick had the opportunity to kill, but he preferred to wait for the enemy to attack.
The doctor hadn't started regeneration yet so if he attacked it wouldn't do much
I am so late. Just realized Morty thought he made the spaceship because Rick doesnt exist anymore.
He even panicks and asks who ai Rick is when he suddenly appeared
Claps for the doctor winning a death battle without landing a single hit.
Perfectly on-brand for them.
Him* :)
Edit: For the delusional ones calling him a "they" Up until this point, The docter had never been a girl. They never used any reference to the female doctor, which was the first of her kind. This persona refers to himself as a he/him and a man. Misgendering him by applying a different (future) persona onto them is completely wrong, bigotted and sexist.
This doctor is male and identifies as such.

@@OrbitalPulsar nope.

"Blink as much as you can, they're scared of rapid movements."
It's crazy to me how well animated this fight is
Took me a moment to realise Rick knew Time Lord physiology, he shot the Doctor through both sides of his chest to nail both hearts and told him to hurry up with regenerating so he could kill him.
Oh yeah. He could still live with only one heart but it’s a painful experience for him till someone knocks the paused heart back into order.
Pity that Rick didn’t still have that sword from earlier, otherwise he really could have finished The Doctor off.
Yeah it’s a good detail in what’s essentially a very one-sided fight. Given that Rick mentions dr who at one point in the show, it works.
Props to whoever voiced the Doctor in this episode. That Tennant voice was nearly perfect!
I've heard he voices the Tenth Doctor in the Big Finish audio dramas
Is this a joke? It was the worse thing about the episode 😂
The tennant didn’t have a voice
I forgot David Tennant was a Doctor, only really remember him as the deranged Sir Edmond Rockwell from Ark.
I checked the VA's IMDB,
He did voice the doctor in a few occasions
So its not surprising XD
Incredible video *mad applause* great production value. I love both of these franchises and it was great fun watching this. Thank you
Odd to have a Death Battle with only one character. Guess it made for an easy win, though.
The fact that The Doctor didn't shoot the Reality Erasure, but Rick did, it's cosmically funny.
It's also perfectly fitting for his character. He's outsmarted every species that has ever threatened him or humanity, and with only 2 real exceptions, has almost always done so without being directly violent.
It’s very Doctor Who in the same way that the whole situation starting over a cosmic rear ending is very Rick and Morty
@@thebananas6483What were the two real exceptions?
@@8bitdiedieI assume Rick Prime and Evil Morty
I don't think I'll ever stop laughing about "Swiss Army Plot Device"; the most perfect description of the Sonic Screwdriver. 😆
Doesn't 13 even call it the "Swiss Army Sonic"? When when she's showing hers off for the first time?
@@madladdie7069 i think so.
because it basically is. funny thing though is sonic energy can be used in the various ways the doctor uses it for.
Honestly I am pretty impressed with this conjecture. The final results being very much what I could expect.
If the Doctor really does still have access to the Moment, that gives him an unbelievable advantage. It's been a while, but isn't the moment basically an auto-win button if you manage to get past it's guilt trip and push the button?
yep and the doctor has even more than that. The heart of the tardis, the time key, the glory, absorbing the time vortex- all insta wins for the doctor he could do at any time
@@FranTheNerd 'But Project Phoenix, and the central finite curve, he called himself the smartest man in the multiverse' If there was no Rick to make the project he can't come back, the central finite curve probably only works in dimensions where there's a Rick, and the third thing is just the guy's ego.
Honestly, The Doctor and Rick getting into a universe-spanning, time-warping fight just because of what amounts to a car accident & road rage is 100% accurate to what an episode of either series would be like
"It's not that I'm an innocent. I've taken lives. I got worse, I got clever! Manipulated people into taking their own." --The 10th Doctor
Do you know why they call it demons run
Because
Demons run when a good man goes to war
Wait I just remembered the Doctor telling one of his companions how she forgot about another partner that was traveling with them... Huh
Weird video. Just a bunch of random talking about the Doctor, and then he talks for a few seconds to Morty from the cartoon Morty. Who was the old ghost guy at the end?
Idk... And the other side of the thumbnail is empty too...
I love that even being erased from time doesn't actually get rid of Rick.
Either it was for comedy or for the memes he secretly Thanos
Rick: I am inevitable *snaps fingers*
@@stargazer-elite considering Rick can respawn or whatever in clone bodies in other universes I wouldn't be surprised if getting erased from time only affected him in the specific universe he was in at that moment, allowing copies of himself in other universes to persist and respawn. Or something like that.
There is nothing to respawn. He never died, because he never existed to respawn in the first place. It literally rewrites reality to a state as if you NEVER EXISTED. Non existent things can't regenerate via another universe, because they never existed in the first place, they have no past, they have no future, they never were.
Even if other ricks still exist in other realities, they aren't him and once the gun hits him, operation phoenix no longer exists for him, he isn't causally connected to anything anymore.
@@TheRealRightPrice
@@paulcox2447 and yet, he still has a ghost to berate Morty. There's some fuckery going on there.
What if the Rick ghost posse morty to make himself a new clone body that is 1 percent different to reincarnation him self 🤳 so the goal of revival is him survival without notification of time itself 😅😅😅😅🎉 .
Everybody seems to think that Rick bringing an apple would defeat the doctor, but everybody is forgetting his real weakness, Pears
who am i?
They're too mushy and make your chin wet!
They also failed to mention Rick's greatest weakness, Pirates.
@jonathanjuarez5544 idk why but that's so funny to me when the president brought out the pirates Rick just dipped 😭
@@therdrfanboi1899”AHH RUN MORTY THAT PART WAS TRUE!”
The worst part, that wasn’t even 10% of what the doctor has done or is capable of, the war doctor, should he be it again, is deadlier than the toon force, gag characters and more, as he has faced that power before canonically, and won, as a pacifist
When did war face toonforce and gag characters?
I am pretty sure it was 8 who faced some toonforce users once in a novel
U can say that about both 😅
"I don't wanna go" memory unrepressed
The Doctor telling Rick that the trick to beating Weeping Angels is to blink as much as possible before dipping was 10/10 trolling.
I see what you did there.
damn... sometimes we forget how scary the doctor is. seeing him simply turn around and erase rick from reality is kind of terrifying.
Correction, he let Rick erase himself, everything he did, was just to give Rick one last chance, up to not firing the gun
@@joelrobinson5457 ah touché
Demons run when a good man goes to war.
The Doctor doesn't inflict horrors on his enemies. But he does create the circumstances whereby his enemies inflict horrors on themselves. When you've exhausted his mercy, is when you really need to be afraid.
"He never raised his voice, that's what made it so haunting..."
My defense for the Doctor winning. The 7th Doctor has cannonically erased 2 entire timelines from existence because he didn't like them. And this is just the 'kind' Doctor. This isn't the Time Lord Victorious version who genocided the Daleks and Cybermen out of existence. Entire species wiped out so that he could rule the universe.
I didn’t know if I agreed with the outcome of this battle until you explained all that at the end. I have to say I now definitely agree
Seeing the pure fear on the doctors face when they got to the angels is amazing. Truly his most conventionally scary foe.
Was that reference or something?
Look up "weeping angels"
Do not blink or avert your gaze. You have been warned.
@@MEMEuser420get back to writing stories lazy ass jk love your stories
@@seriousspikesam7770”well blink as much as you can. they’re scared of rapid movement.” The bamboozle the doctor did on Rick was hilarious.
That grin at the screaming sun from a thousands of years old, multiversal being was pure "Huh... I just saw a new thing. Been about 100 years since THAT happened! Neat!"
Probably thinking "Must show that to someone later."
@@Prince__Teclis or "Has anyone asked him why he's screaming? Maybe he needs help. Either way, it's fantastic! Let's go learn about him!"
@@Bogeymanta If this was canon imagine the Doctor stopping by this universe every now and then to have a conversation with a sun.
@@KianaK0423 They absolutely would. Just to check in on the guy. The Doctor is nice like that.
This is literally why the doctor loses. He wins because the screwdriver impresses dumb and nostalgic people. Which are you?
"It's fun to be the class clown until you get shot" 😮
One detail I loved about this fight is how The Doctor noticed Rick's ego and used it against him in the sword fight. Rick tells him to keep quipping, and The Doctor notices that his quipping irritates him and gets under his skin, so later when they're locked against the balcony, he quips about a little shop so that Rick throws out an angry, reckless, and predictable lunge so that The Doctor could disarm him with the momentum.
Mad props to the storyboarders and writers who made this detail as it's extremely in character for both characters, especially The Doctor using his enemies' personality flaws against them, which is something he often plays to his advantage. Fantastic!
I love how the battle of super geniuses ended with one outsmarting the other instead of just overpowering them.
Quite the unique way to win a fight in a DEATH BATTLE.
It really is more satisfying that way.
In my opinion at least.
Well Rick should easily overpower the doctor, he's vastly stronger and faster than the doctor due to cybernetic implants. There's no reason the doctor should survived the close combat part long enough to pull the win when he's like a tired old man physically compared to Rick who basically superhuman across the board. Rick could punch a hole through the doctor before he knew what hit him.
@@ianyoder2537 No it sucked. This death battle removed the stats of a character to force a winner. That makes it utter trash in my view. Rick is vastly stronger and faster, making the doctor dead on arrive.
@@Lastjustice Finally found one. The fan who's arguing the outcome.
Look the Doctor has faced physically superior foes all throughout his unfathomably long his life. War like aliens, human evolution gone wrong, and plenty of cyborgs.
Speaking of cyborgs, his sonic screwdriver works on them.
Yes Rick was more offensive minded and had the more destructive arsenal, but so has literally every enemy the doctor faced.
17:30 The funniest comeback line ever XD!!
I’m not too sure about the actual age of the doctor. Besides 11 fighting cybermen, Daleks, and those other guys for 900 years, 11 did also say he had 400 years to think about how he could save Gallifrey. , We do not know if 11 was specifically talking about his own age or talking about the time between the regeneration to the ninth doctor all the way to the 50 year anniversary special in which it was the 11th doctor, but that still means 1300 years of experience just from three doctors. Also, is it actually said that the very first doctor was 450 years old before he went through the regeneration process. I am not sure how true this is, But given that 11 survived 900 years, I believe it.
"but Rick has better weapons!" The first thing you'll notice about the doctor, is that he's unarmed.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the last thing a lot of people on Skull Moon noticed, as well.
Unarmed?
"Yeah, and doesn't that just scare you to death?"
I'd like to think the Doctor hesitated to grab the gun because his ability to resist reality warping is so advanced that he can even somewhat fight the "someone must die" rule of Death Battle itself.
And he actually did he wasn’t the one to fire the killing blow that was Rick even if Rick did die that was Rick’s own fault so technically the doc didn’t follow the rules he didn’t kill Rick, Rick killed Rick
@@Alto_frog I mean... isn't that typically how it goes in the show? When a Rick dies, it is more often than not the fault of himself or another Rick (Evil Morty notwithstanding).
They have been becoming more self aware lately.
i think thats pretty sick. also interesting to think about since im pretty sure the last ever death battle was confirmed to be wiz vs boomstick@@mattphillips3537
This might be the best Death Battle in just how well reseached abd thought out the fight was
Bro i love ur vid.... Like u give me some nostalgia when i watch first vid in hyun dojo. Thx man👍🏻
The doctor advising rick to "blink rapidly" around all the weeping angels was too damn funny!
My favorite part about this fight is how, during the weeping angels scene, the Doctor lies to Rick smoothly and convincingly, without any stuttering or stammering, even though he's clearly terrified AND busy with the portal gun. He even has the "they're scared of rapid movement" story ready to go, either because he's prepared it ahead of time for exactly this sort of situation, or because he's just that quick-thinking. Either possibility is a strong one.
Time Lords, man.
Oh yes, the Doctor is known for being very accomplished at deception. Some consider "The Doctor Lies" to be #1 point of fact for navigating interactions with him.
I mean..prep time isn't allowed in deathbattle so it's definitley the other option
Considering how the Doctor formulated the entire last scene to trick and make Rick shoot HIMSELF with the reality erasure in that little time window JUST after being shot in both hearts, he prolly is that quick of a thinker
@@Arrowokeys12 Well, it's allowed, but not to be specific to their opponent (like how dealing with high technology, but gives you little advantage over a caveman vs, say, Iron Man). He knows about the Angels and how to deal with them. He may not fully know if his lying is going to work, but its what he knows to do.
Rule 1: The Doctor lies.
