Cthulhu would work lyrically in place of Godzilla. You could just replace Tokyo with some other city name like: "Ol' Cthulhu was stompin around New York City like a big playground" Cthulhu is also a far older being than Godzilla, so it works from that angle as well. And New York would be a believable location since its in relatively close proximity to Arkham, Massachussets, the setting of The Call of Cthulhu. Like, its such a good fit.
I thought Gotham was in Northern New Jersey, maybe southeast of Jersey City, if that’s the case, how is Arkham in Massachusetts if Arkham and Gotham are close cities.

I just realized this video isn't actually about the relatively recent redux of Ultimate Showdown that was a Collab project between a bunch of animators.
Tbh I always envisioned it as an alternate universe where the original Ultimate Showdown never happened. But Keanu definitely could pull something like that off
.... And yet, around 75% of the characters are still relevant. In fact, some of them are still significantly more so than their "modern replacements"... and then there's the ones like Batman, Spiderman, Superman, and Power Rangers that probably *SHOULDN'T* be updated if you want to make it modernized. Like, lets be real... Batman is probably more relevant now than ever. If you REALLY wanted to try, maybe use LEGO Batman or Miles as the choice in Spiderman? (Also, am I the only one who finds it kinda ironic that its the superheroes who aged the best?)
I love this roster omfg The ones that are hard to agree on though are the chess guys, but I may have been living under a rock. Also I would have replaced the Care Bears with G4 MLP personally but overall this is sick as hell i hope someone sings this
That and the superheroes like Superman, Spiderman, Batman should probably be left alone. If you really want, replace Batman with LEGO Batman and the older Spiderman with Miles Spiderman. Don't even bother changing superman. Almost everyone of all ages know about him even to this day. LOL I'm shocked Indiana jones wasn't replaced by Laura Croft, these videos usually use her as the "modern equivalent".
Given how well made and researched this video was for a goofy topic like this I'm genuinely surprised you didn't have more subs. I'm subbing, also congrats on 1k!
I kind of want to hear what this sounds like as a sequel to Ultimate Showdown. Not sure what you could all this aside from Ultimate Showdown The Sequel. The Ultimate Showdown: Electric Boogaloo The Ultimate Boogaloo (probably might want to be careful with that one due to the political connotations)
Since many of these characters (like Godzilla and Batman) are still recognizable today, I would only replace characters who are less well known, such as Aaron Carter and Mr. Rogers.
Yup. Why even bother changing Batman or Spiderman when they're more relevant than ever? Dude, Spiderman is so relevant that Chrome's auto-correct keeps forcing me to capitalize his name, LOL.
I want Homelander, Walter White, Thanos, Putin, Saul Goodman, Eminem, Spiderman, Ezra Miller, Amber Heard, Patrick Bateman, Andrew Tate, Ishowspeed, Thomas Shelby, Moon Knight, Giga Chad and more in The Ultimate Showdown Part 2
Ya know what I find ironic? The kamen riders (from kamen rider) not only fit as replacements for the power rangers, but they just so happened to be first published in 2005.
I was kind of surprised that you did not run into the redux collab when researching for this video, neither noone mentioned it in the comments. But this would be also a great omage to the original, maybe keep some of the originals for similiarity sake.
I love the idea of this video. But to take things entirely too seriously and treat this as a true remake; I have some disagreements on your replacements. Godzilla and Batman; I feel that using MONGO from Shrek 2 and Robbie Rotten in their place ironically dates this potential "remake" much more. Both Godzilla and Batman celebrate continuing success and popularity to the point they almost feel timeless. If you're worried either is too dated, you could always use the 2014 American Godzilla and the Batman the Animated Series Batman. Either way, Mongo and Robbie feel like the lesser versions. Shaq to Lebron works great, both basketball stars and all that. (Funny enough if it was Micheal Jordon originally, the update would be even better since they both were in a Space Jam) Carter to Jake Paul; Nothing to say, I literally don't know the original so I cannot voice an opinion on the replacement. Abraham Lincoln being updated to JFK is funny, they're both presidents who died to bullets to the head and both showed up in a strangely resurfacing tv show about their clones or something. Abraham is such an old figure and wild card that replacing him with JFK doesn't really change anything overall. Using Far Far Away is funny as a way to fit Mongo in, but again. Godzilla is still popular and well known enough that replacing Tokyo could just be one of the cities in the American Godzilla. Optimus Prime to Clank: I AM NOT GIVING YOU THIS ONE. Clank is NOTHING compared to Prime. You want a good replacement for an alien robot the helps people? THE IRON GIANT. He's right there and far more recognizable than CLANK. Jackie Chan to Magnus Sheving: I mean, I guess. But I'd probably find an actor who is more well known as an actor than a single character. Good choice just not the one I'd have made. Indiana Jones to Nathan Drake: It's a good replacement, I hate it to my very bones, but it's fitting and works. Carebear to Furby: Naturally. Chuck Norris to Shaggy; Fine enough, but this just brings me back to Godzilla and Batman. Shaggy gets a pass by using a newer incarnation but Godzilla and Batman have to be replaced? Later on you mention that it'd be a crime not to include Sans, and honestly if you want someone known for being stupidly powerful and popular, Sans works here more than Shaggy. Gandalf to Walter White/Heisenburg: Sure I guess. Doesn't quite give the same vibe but the reason works. MOnty Python Black Knight to Hector: I guess sure, I can't think of a better replacement. Benito Mussolini to Kim Jong Il; Much like Lincoln this one is so out of left field that updating him doesn't do much. Blue Meanie to Gustavo Rocque: Literally never heard of either, but I think a better fit could've been the Minions as much as we despise them. Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie to Sam and Cat: Who? Robocop and Terminator to Steve and Fornite Man: I don't know really, my best idea was Alien and Predator which aren't that much more recent than Robocop or Terminator. But Steve and Fortnite just don't feel equivalent to Robocop and Terminator. Captain Kirk and Darth Vader to Gru and Megamind: Absolutely not. They retain none of the same vibes as Kirk and Vader. Theoretically you could update them to the newest incarnations of Kylo Ren and Jean Luc Picard (Picard is still going with a new Star Trek show so he counts) but while Kirk gets updated fairly well, Kylo doesn't keep up as well. You could possibly use Obi Wan from the prequels or Darth Maul to match Picard. It's really a grab bag for new Star Wars villain to pick; while the new Star Trek has to be Picard. Lo-Pan to Loki: I don;t know Lo-Pan in the slightest so go off. Superman to Saitama; Same thing as Godzilla and Batman; Superman's lasting popularity and pop culture appeal vastly overshadow Saitama who, being as nice as possible; is generally only known by people who watch anime and has no major impact on pop culture when compared to m*ther f*cking Superman. Power Rangers to Gems: Eh...it works but in a way that doesn't feel right. I'd argue a better analogue would be something just as goofy and campy as power rangers; but I just can't come up with a good one. Besides maybe Pokemon. Bill and Ted to Sans and Papyrus: Absolutely not. You give that spot to Rick and Morty. They're not 100% the same but they fit the mold way better. You want a pair of wacky guys getting on wacky hijinks, Rick and Morty is the far better replacement. Spock to Sheldon: That punched me in the liver and made me ill in a way I cannot express, because it's fucking golden. Like too good. It physically hurts. The Rock and Hulk Hogan to Hikaru and Hanson: Definitely NOT the same vibe. I;m not personally sure WHO you could slot in for these two, but chess masters are not it. Doc Oc to Doof: Equivalent enough for this remake Mr. Rogers to Keanu: This feels like the strangest but most appropriate replacement. Purely by how nice people find the two. I don't personally think Keanu gets to the same level as Mr "Reads all his fan-mail and responds, Rogers. But purely for the pop culture identity it works. Overall, I feel like the remake is subpar choice wise. Many of the choices don't carry the same vibe as their predecessors, and some changes don't even need to be done (YES THIS IS GODZILLA AND BATMAN AGAIN!!!) Overall though, a very fun idea.
Yeah, in a serious remake, some of these choices wouldn't really work. However, this is a RUclips video first and analysis second, so in moments of doubt I went with what I thought was funny rather than the ideal 1:1 replacement. This is also the reason every character gets swapped out. Saying "this one doesn't need changes" wouldn't be very fun. Regardless, thanks for the deep dive, this might be the longest non-shitpost comment I ever got on a video.
I personally thought somebody who should replace Rogers could have been somebody like Bob Ross or Michael Rosen, two beloved people of their special interests. Like what artist doesn't know Bob Ross and which kid didn't grow up with at least one Michael Rosen book?
I also think for the blue meanie you could have used the angry smurf, he could be seen as a meanie in some perspective (?), And he's blue. Alternatively you could have put megamind here, he started out as a blue meanie but then became, not that, he's imo, the perfect fit for the blue meanie, as he was technically one.
When I think of characters similar to Godzilla, the first to come to my mind is always Bowser. Think about it; huge, monstrous reptiles who have a breath weapon, are referred to as kings, and have been known to terrorize civilizations. Speaking of which, by this logic, if we were to have Bowser as Godzilla's successor, this version of the Ultimate Showdown would take place in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Also, Pretty Cure was right there for the Power Rangers. They transform into colorful outfits and there's loads of them. And furthermore, Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado could have worked spectacularly as Bill and Ted.
An interesting analysis of the song, though I would actually keep some of the characters the same if they're ones that are still as relevant today as they used to be. Instead of Billie Eilish I would have picked Justin Bieber, instead of the furbies replacing care bears I'd go with My Little Pony, I'm thinking to have the black knight be replaced with Toph Bei Fong since there's somehow no Avatar characters in there and that needs to be corrected, Should have had the blue meanie replaced with Blue Diamond of Steven Universe for a more obvious change, for Kirk & Vader a more fitting replacement would be Pikachu & Agumon as those 2 are just as well known for their fandom rivalries today, I don't like the idea of chess players so instead I'm thinking AVGN & Nostalgia Critic should fill that role. As for the final winner, it should instead be SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS IN A BLOOD STAINED STRIPED SWEATER!
SpongeBob is a menace unlike Mr Rogers. I'd pick someone innocent. i guess Keanu was a good pick. It tokk me way too long to realise there were no Pokemon characters, we absolutely need that duo
@@Kyumifun Would Daniel Tiger work? I don't feel like he's as iconic though.... I got it! Uncle Iroh! HE FITS THE BILL PERFECTLY. How would you make that rhyme though?
Then Walter White and Heisenberg and Hector Salamanca, and Kim Jong Il and Gustavo Rocque and Sam and Cat, Steve, Fortnite Skin, Gru and Megamind, Loki, Saitama, and every gems from Steven Universe, Sans and Papyrus, Sheldon Cooper, Hikaru Nakamura, Dr Doofenshmirtz and Eric Hansen
Maybe optimus prime could be replaced with V1 from ultrakill, man would flourish in that bloodbath, also can change (switching hands mechanic) and in some meaning is a good guy
It's because of you that I decided to write my own Ultimate Showdown song. Eren Yeager was stomping around, Chicago, Illinois like a big playground. Then suddenly Spider-Man swung onto the scene And webbed up Eren till he looked like a bean. Eren got really pissed and he let out a roar-ah, But he didn’t expect to be hit by Korra! Who proceeded to whoop his ass in the Avatar State, Only for her to blindsided by Big Nate, Then he started to beat Korra in ways she’s never seen, Until they both got hit by the Mystery Machine, But before anybody could get away, They were all cornered by Urameshi Yusuke, Along with Gon Freecss, who was out for blood, Korra tried to wash them away with a flood, But everyone decided to run away, The moment that Voltron decided to make them pay. This is the ultimate showdown, Of ultimate destiny. Good guys, bad guys, and explosions, As far as the eye can see. And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be. This is the ultimate showdown, Of ultimate destiny. Eren destroyed Voltron by tearing it apart, Lance and Keith’s blood getting all over Bart. Then in came Korra to bring the heat, While stopping to take a bite out of Luffy’s meat. Spider-Man was injured and needed to take a breath, Only to be backed into a corner by straight up Death. But out of nowhere, Death suddenly took a stumble, And he was face to face with Invincible, And he turned to face Eren on his rampage, Invincible tried to stop the Titan’s rage, Before Spider-Man launched a web at his ankle, And he left Invincible on a wall to dangle. Meanwhile Luffy punched Korra in the face with Gear Fifth, And that got Korra seriously pissed. Yusuke fired his Spirit Gun at Voltron and he missed, Voltron was ready to squash Yusuke flat, But when they saw the Mane Six, oh, pants were shat. This is the ultimate showdown, Of ultimate destiny. Good guys, bad guys, and explosions, As far as the eye can see. And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be. This is the ultimate showdown, Of ultimate destiny. Angels sang out in a holy choir, As down from the heavens came Saitama. He delivered a punch that could erase souls, Straight into Invincible’s asshole. Who fell onto the ground while screaming for mother, As Spider-Man changed into Peter Parker. But Saitama saw through Spidey’s disguise, And then he ripped out Peter Parker’s eyes. Then Son Goku and Goku Black, And Rick Sanchez and Samurai Jack, And Luke Skywalker and Buffy Summers, And Lucky Luke and the Dalton Brothers, Deadpool and Wolverine, Iron Man and War Machine Strong Bad and Homestar Runner, Every single RWBY character, Luz Noceda and Angelina Ballerina, Spock, the Rock, Doc Ock, And John Cena! All came out of nowhere lightning fast, To kick Saitama in his caped baldy ass. It was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw, With civilians doing nothing but looking on in awe. The fighting raged on for a century, Many lives were claimed but eventually, The champion stood above his inferiors, Ned Flanders in his bloodstained sweater. This is the ultimate showdown Of ultimate destiny Good guys, bad guys and explosions, As far as the eye can see And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be. This is the ultimate showdown (This is the ultimate showdown) This is the ultimate showdown (This is the ultimate showdown) This is the ultimate showdown Of ultimate destiny
i feel like canonically saitama or the gems from su win, saitama is literally the "one punch man" as is get hit by him once your probably dead, gems from steven universe can fuse to become stronger and theres thousands maybe tens of thousands, they shouldnt all fuse though because the more gems in a fusion the more unstable the fusion, if we count yellows fusion expiriments the cluster solos everyone in both ultimate showdowns combined
i deliberately chose to ignore jasper and lapis, jasper shattered(basically killed) 80 crystal gems on her first day, lapis almost poofed(knocked out) the main 4 crystal gems and drown steven all with a cracked gemstone(when a gems gemstone is cracked theyre weaker usually with a glitchy physical form which can deepen the crack leading to being shattered, the glitchy and unstable physical form can mess with where the body parts of a gem is) she also held back blue diamond(one of the strongest non fused gems) and steven when he basically turned into pink godzilla
I would’ve done the lantern corps of the DC Universe in place of the Power Rangers, they have a longer history, a bigger collection of members and had a huge revitalisation/boost in popularity during the 2000’s with the introduction of about 6 new lantern corps, the lyric replacement also feels nice “every single lantern member!”
This gives me the same exact feeling as that Fall Out Boy remake of We Didn't Start the Fire, it's like "Well, someone was gonna do it EVENTUALLY, and it's a cool idea... I just, uh, hoped it'd be made with any effort put into it..." Keanu being replaced and then coming back anyway is a great decision though, I was really wondering who could be the "more modern" Mr. Rogers and it just works.
Thanks for the comment. This was mostly for laughs - if someone wanted to do it with more seriousness, they'd have to do it by community poll or something similar because the average person probably doesn't have the pop culture knowledge to replace all 30-something characters without pissing someone off. (And my pop culture knowledge is WAY below average lol) I'd be curious to see how a more rigorous version could go though.
10:00 I think Gundam series come pretty close to Power rangers. Cause we have like 5 main characters throughout Universal century alone. And they all pilot similar Mobile suits
I personally would've replaced them with the Ninja from Ninjago. Granted, there aren't a lot of them, but they are all color coded, even if their colors aren't consistent.
Lyrics “Old Mongo was hopping around Far Far Away like a big playground When suddenly Robbie Rotten burst from the shade And hit Mongo with a rotten grenade Mongo got pissed and began to attack But didn't expect to be blocked by Le Bron James Who proceeded to open up a can of James-Fu When Jake Paul came out of the blue And he started beating up Le Bron James Then they both got flattened by the rottemobile But before it could make it back to the Rotten cave JFK popped out of his grave And took an AK-47 out from under his hat And blew Robbie Rotten away with a rat-a-tat-tat But he ran out of bullets and he ran away Because Clank came to save the day This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny Mongo took a bite out of Clank Like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime And then Le Bron came back covered in a tire track But Magnús Scheving jumped out and landed on his back And Robbie Rotten was injured, and trying to get steady When JFK came back with a machete But suddenly something caught his leg and he tripped Nathan Drake took him out with his whip Then he saw Mongo sneaking up from behind And he reached for his gun which he just couldn't find 'Cause Robbie Rotten stole it and he shot and he missed And Magnús Scheving deflected it with his fist Then he jumped in the air and did a somersault While JFK tried to pole vault Onto Clank, but they collided in the air Then they both got hit by a Furby stare This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be This is the ultimate showdown Angels sang out an immaculate chorus Down from the heavens descended Shaggy Who delivered a kick which could shatter bones Into the crotch of Nathan Drake Who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain As Robbie Rotten changed back into Old lady But Shaggy saw through his clever disguise And he crushed Robbie Rotten’s head in between his thighs Then Walter White and Heisenberg And Hector Salamanca And King Jong-il and the Gustavo Rocque And Sam and Cat Steve, Default Skin, Gru, and Megamind Loki, Saitama, every single Gem Sans and Papyrus Sheldon Cooper, Hikaru Nakamura, Doctor Doofenshmirtz, and Eric Hansen All came out of nowhere lightning fast And they kicked Shaggy in his Hungry ass It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw With civilians looking on in total awe The fight raged on for a century Many lives were claimed, but eventually The champion stood, the rest saw their better Keanu Reeves in a bloodstained sweater This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be This is the ultimate showdown (The ultimate showdown) This is the ultimate showdown (The ultimate showdown) This is the ultimate showdown Of ultimate destiny
Could've used the Shin Godzilla incarnation to replace Godzilla since the lyrics dubs him "Old Godzillia" and Shin means New lol, it'd be such a good subtle joke.
That is an impressive amount of research, for a song that, as you said, will never be made. And that's the main complaint I have I guess, that I won't get to hear a version that builds upon this research. Also I do wonder whether you set your replacement criteria to be a little strict, too strict in fact that while some are spot on, like JFK and his ray gun from COD for Abe and his AK47, some of them feel weird or off. So like for Optimus Prime you could have used pretty much any Gundam or Gurren Lagann or EVA-01, who ARE in best known for giant robots, as opposed to Rachet and Clank which you say is not. Either way, this is one hell of explanation for all the characters in the song. You have my thanks.
A good replacement for all the power rangers could be all the starter pokemon, as there are lots of them, they’re color coded, and pokemon is literally the biggest media franchise in the world.

Ol' Mongo was walking down the block
Folks of Far, Far Away looking up in shock
When suddenly Robbie Rotten burst from the backdrop
And used his tricks to hit Mongo's gumdrops
Mongo got pissed and began to brawl
When LeBron James showed up and made him snarl
LeBron made a slam dunk in Mongo's eye
When Jake Paul came in to end the guy
And he started beating up LeBron James' face
But they couldn't escape from Robbie Rotten's mace
Before he could make it back to Lazy Town
JFK popped up and began to frown
And pulled a ray gun out from his suit
And blew Robbie away with a pew-pew-pew
But he ran out of lasers and he ran away
Because Clank came to join the fray
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Mongo took a bite out of Clank's back side
Like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime
And then LeBron came back covered in spike holes
But Magnús Scheving flipped in and beat LeBron with a bowl
And Robbie was injured, and trying to keep calm
When JFK came back with a bag of lip balm
But suddenly someone shot his leg and he fell
Nathan Drake's rifle made him feel unwell
Then he saw Mongo sneaking up from behind
And he reached for his pistol which he just couldn't find
'Cause Robbie stole it and he shot and he missed
And Magnús deflected it with his kicks
Then he jumped in the air and did a backflip
While JFK tried to give him the slip
But they fell on Clank and started feeling fear
When they saw a Furby there giving them a lear
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown
Angels sang out an immaculate chorus
Down from the heavens descended Matthew Lilard's Shaggy
Who delivered a kick which could destroy souls
Into the crack of Nathan Drake's asshole
Who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain
As Robbie changed into Bruce Wayne
But Shaggy saw through his clever disguise
And he crushed Robbie's head in between his thighs
Then Walter White and his future self Heisenberg
And Better Call Saul's Hector Salamanca
And Kim Jong-Il and Gustavo Rocque
And Sam Puckett and Kat Valentine
Minecraft Steve, Jonesy, Gru, and Megamind
Loki, Saitama, the Gems from Steven Universe
Sans and Papyrus from Undertale
Sheldon, Hikaru, Dr. Doof, and Eric Hansen
All came out of nowhere lightning fast
And they kicked Shaggy in his godly ass
It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw
With civilians looking on in total awe
The fight raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed, but eventually
The champion stood, all the rest were moot
Keanu Reeves in John Wick's suit
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown
(The ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
(The ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
Of ultimate destiny

Godzilla still is way more populair that chutulu still.

"And in the end the rest saw their better / Keanu Reeves in his John Wick get-up" *chorus*
Adding logic to the ultimate showdown makes it even more entertaining and hilarious. 😂
I kind of want to hear what this sounds like as a sequel to Ultimate Showdown.
Not sure what you could all this aside from Ultimate Showdown The Sequel.
The Ultimate Showdown: Electric Boogaloo
The Ultimate Boogaloo (probably might want to be careful with that one due to the political connotations)
bro we need someone to sing it now
Since many of these characters (like Godzilla and Batman) are still recognizable today, I would only replace characters who are less well known, such as Aaron Carter and Mr. Rogers.
Yup. Why even bother changing Batman or Spiderman when they're more relevant than ever?
Dude, Spiderman is so relevant that Chrome's auto-correct keeps forcing me to capitalize his name, LOL.
This feels like something that was not made out passion, but for memes
I assure you, I am very passionate about memes
I bet mr rogers is so proud of his student Keanu reeves
He would be 100%
@@Kazmord I really thought you’d do Bob Ross, but Keanu also makes sense
@@frimi8593 I thought he’d do Steve Irwin
@@johncronk8867 also a solid pick
I totally thought mister rogers was gonna be Mr beast, but keanu reeves is fine too.
i hope someone makes this a real thing
RIP Aaron Carter
I want Homelander, Walter White, Thanos, Putin, Saul Goodman, Eminem, Spiderman, Ezra Miller, Amber Heard, Patrick Bateman, Andrew Tate, Ishowspeed, Thomas Shelby, Moon Knight, Giga Chad and more in The Ultimate Showdown Part 2
This is gonna be chaotic
I also want Rocky Balboa & John Rambo too
So like all shit from 2020?
"No, I will not be taking criticism"
I won't criticize you for claiming Sheldon is the successor to Spock. But I will despise you.
You know what? Fair enough
I like how half of these are basically irreplaceable but you still nailed most of them, great vid.
ok so now i need you or someone else to sing this song
@Jared Jams nice
i forgot to add write -^-
Should have replaced "every single power ranger" with "every single Rick & Morty"
I did not expect Robbie rotton, i was like “it’s gonna be iron man”
finally, a recent upload that doesn't butcher the song
this was also a very well made video
Imagine if he makes a modern ultimate showdown using this😂
imagine if that's what the video advertised and then it didn't have it
Ya know what I find ironic? The kamen riders (from kamen rider) not only fit as replacements for the power rangers, but they just so happened to be first published in 2005.
Instead of Godzilla I would have gone with the Stay Puft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters.
Very good video! Also appreciate the usage of erb lmao
Yellow Submarine is like my favorite cartoon and i watched it atleast 5 times
“Who today will take up the mantle of mr rogers?”
Me: MR BE-
“Keanu Reeves”
Me: yeah, Keanu Reeves
I was kind of surprised that you did not run into the redux collab when researching for this video, neither noone mentioned it in the comments. But this would be also a great omage to the original, maybe keep some of the originals for similiarity sake.
I know of the redux collab but it is synced to the inferior newer version of the song so I opted not to use it
Bro could have done bayverse optimus prime he debuted after the song released
It's still Optimus.
I love the idea of this video. But to take things entirely too seriously and treat this as a true remake; I have some disagreements on your replacements.
Godzilla and Batman; I feel that using MONGO from Shrek 2 and Robbie Rotten in their place ironically dates this potential "remake" much more. Both Godzilla and Batman celebrate continuing success and popularity to the point they almost feel timeless. If you're worried either is too dated, you could always use the 2014 American Godzilla and the Batman the Animated Series Batman. Either way, Mongo and Robbie feel like the lesser versions.
Shaq to Lebron works great, both basketball stars and all that. (Funny enough if it was Micheal Jordon originally, the update would be even better since they both were in a Space Jam)
Carter to Jake Paul; Nothing to say, I literally don't know the original so I cannot voice an opinion on the replacement.
Abraham Lincoln being updated to JFK is funny, they're both presidents who died to bullets to the head and both showed up in a strangely resurfacing tv show about their clones or something. Abraham is such an old figure and wild card that replacing him with JFK doesn't really change anything overall.
Using Far Far Away is funny as a way to fit Mongo in, but again. Godzilla is still popular and well known enough that replacing Tokyo could just be one of the cities in the American Godzilla.
Optimus Prime to Clank: I AM NOT GIVING YOU THIS ONE. Clank is NOTHING compared to Prime. You want a good replacement for an alien robot the helps people? THE IRON GIANT. He's right there and far more recognizable than CLANK.
Jackie Chan to Magnus Sheving: I mean, I guess. But I'd probably find an actor who is more well known as an actor than a single character. Good choice just not the one I'd have made.
Indiana Jones to Nathan Drake: It's a good replacement, I hate it to my very bones, but it's fitting and works.
Carebear to Furby: Naturally.
Chuck Norris to Shaggy; Fine enough, but this just brings me back to Godzilla and Batman. Shaggy gets a pass by using a newer incarnation but Godzilla and Batman have to be replaced? Later on you mention that it'd be a crime not to include Sans, and honestly if you want someone known for being stupidly powerful and popular, Sans works here more than Shaggy.
Gandalf to Walter White/Heisenburg: Sure I guess. Doesn't quite give the same vibe but the reason works.
MOnty Python Black Knight to Hector: I guess sure, I can't think of a better replacement.
Benito Mussolini to Kim Jong Il; Much like Lincoln this one is so out of left field that updating him doesn't do much.
Blue Meanie to Gustavo Rocque: Literally never heard of either, but I think a better fit could've been the Minions as much as we despise them.
Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie to Sam and Cat: Who?
Robocop and Terminator to Steve and Fornite Man: I don't know really, my best idea was Alien and Predator which aren't that much more recent than Robocop or Terminator. But Steve and Fortnite just don't feel equivalent to Robocop and Terminator.
Captain Kirk and Darth Vader to Gru and Megamind: Absolutely not. They retain none of the same vibes as Kirk and Vader. Theoretically you could update them to the newest incarnations of Kylo Ren and Jean Luc Picard (Picard is still going with a new Star Trek show so he counts) but while Kirk gets updated fairly well, Kylo doesn't keep up as well. You could possibly use Obi Wan from the prequels or Darth Maul to match Picard. It's really a grab bag for new Star Wars villain to pick; while the new Star Trek has to be Picard.
Lo-Pan to Loki: I don;t know Lo-Pan in the slightest so go off.
Superman to Saitama; Same thing as Godzilla and Batman; Superman's lasting popularity and pop culture appeal vastly overshadow Saitama who, being as nice as possible; is generally only known by people who watch anime and has no major impact on pop culture when compared to m*ther f*cking Superman.
Power Rangers to Gems: Eh...it works but in a way that doesn't feel right. I'd argue a better analogue would be something just as goofy and campy as power rangers; but I just can't come up with a good one. Besides maybe Pokemon.
Bill and Ted to Sans and Papyrus: Absolutely not. You give that spot to Rick and Morty. They're not 100% the same but they fit the mold way better. You want a pair of wacky guys getting on wacky hijinks, Rick and Morty is the far better replacement.
Spock to Sheldon: That punched me in the liver and made me ill in a way I cannot express, because it's fucking golden. Like too good. It physically hurts.
The Rock and Hulk Hogan to Hikaru and Hanson: Definitely NOT the same vibe. I;m not personally sure WHO you could slot in for these two, but chess masters are not it.
Doc Oc to Doof: Equivalent enough for this remake
Mr. Rogers to Keanu: This feels like the strangest but most appropriate replacement. Purely by how nice people find the two. I don't personally think Keanu gets to the same level as Mr "Reads all his fan-mail and responds, Rogers. But purely for the pop culture identity it works.
Overall, I feel like the remake is subpar choice wise. Many of the choices don't carry the same vibe as their predecessors, and some changes don't even need to be done (YES THIS IS GODZILLA AND BATMAN AGAIN!!!) Overall though, a very fun idea.
Yeah, in a serious remake, some of these choices wouldn't really work. However, this is a RUclips video first and analysis second, so in moments of doubt I went with what I thought was funny rather than the ideal 1:1 replacement. This is also the reason every character gets swapped out. Saying "this one doesn't need changes" wouldn't be very fun.
Regardless, thanks for the deep dive, this might be the longest non-shitpost comment I ever got on a video.
I personally thought somebody who should replace Rogers could have been somebody like Bob Ross or Michael Rosen, two beloved people of their special interests. Like what artist doesn't know Bob Ross and which kid didn't grow up with at least one Michael Rosen book?
I also think for the blue meanie you could have used the angry smurf, he could be seen as a meanie in some perspective (?), And he's blue. Alternatively you could have put megamind here, he started out as a blue meanie but then became, not that, he's imo, the perfect fit for the blue meanie, as he was technically one.
@@BluePuffyy Gustavo is non negotiable
@@Kazmord I hadn't of even heard of him until I watched this video, lol.
When I think of characters similar to Godzilla, the first to come to my mind is always Bowser. Think about it; huge, monstrous reptiles who have a breath weapon, are referred to as kings, and have been known to terrorize civilizations.
Speaking of which, by this logic, if we were to have Bowser as Godzilla's successor, this version of the Ultimate Showdown would take place in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Also, Pretty Cure was right there for the Power Rangers. They transform into colorful outfits and there's loads of them.
And furthermore, Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado could have worked spectacularly as Bill and Ted.
Honestly Robbie rotten would've worked if it was 2018 or 2019. But batman would still work in 2022 considering all the joker memes.
Yup
“There’s no laws agains-
“STOP. You violated the law!”
“But there- there’s no-“
“You’re goddamn right.”
Now we just need Neil to do stop what ever it is he is doing, and create this.
An interesting analysis of the song, though I would actually keep some of the characters the same if they're ones that are still as relevant today as they used to be. Instead of Billie Eilish I would have picked Justin Bieber, instead of the furbies replacing care bears I'd go with My Little Pony, I'm thinking to have the black knight be replaced with Toph Bei Fong since there's somehow no Avatar characters in there and that needs to be corrected, Should have had the blue meanie replaced with Blue Diamond of Steven Universe for a more obvious change, for Kirk & Vader a more fitting replacement would be Pikachu & Agumon as those 2 are just as well known for their fandom rivalries today, I don't like the idea of chess players so instead I'm thinking AVGN & Nostalgia Critic should fill that role. As for the final winner, it should instead be SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS IN A BLOOD STAINED STRIPED SWEATER!
SpongeBob is a menace unlike Mr Rogers. I'd pick someone innocent. i guess Keanu was a good pick.
It tokk me way too long to realise there were no Pokemon characters, we absolutely need that duo
The champion stood, making all the others dance
Spongebob in blood stained, square pants
@@Kyumifun Would Daniel Tiger work? I don't feel like he's as iconic though....
I got it! Uncle Iroh! HE FITS THE BILL PERFECTLY. How would you make that rhyme though?
Then Walter White and Heisenberg and Hector Salamanca, and Kim Jong Il and Gustavo Rocque and Sam and Cat, Steve, Fortnite Skin, Gru and Megamind, Loki, Saitama, and every gems from Steven Universe, Sans and Papyrus, Sheldon Cooper, Hikaru Nakamura, Dr Doofenshmirtz and Eric Hansen
Maybe optimus prime could be replaced with V1 from ultrakill, man would flourish in that bloodbath, also can change (switching hands mechanic) and in some meaning is a good guy
In the first minute already I was BEGGING for a mention of Pacific Rim. Thank you
I never knew I even needed this. But thank you.😮
Is anybody going to sing this?
I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone managed to make this musically coherent
Love the erb references and clips my guy
Mr. Rogers should have been Dainel Tiger, from a follow up to Mr. Rogers called Dainel Tiger's Neighbourhood.
guess what game had a huge boom in january?
chess
You should have replaced hulk hogan and the rock with Gordon Ramsay and Guy Fieri
called the care bares with furbies.
If a version of Ultimate Showdown with the replacements included, I sincerely hope someone else did it.
I dunno about the modern choices, but thanks for explaining the original characters !
Well shit. I thought he'd, at least, perform it, at the end.
I personally would’ve replaced Mister Roger’s with the character that actually replaced him, Daniel Tiger.
Fair, but I don't know how popular he actually is.
I am 4:00 minutes in, you just gave JKF a ray gun, then better end with you singing this song.
all these choices are perfect
It's because of you that I decided to write my own Ultimate Showdown song.
Eren Yeager was stomping around,
Chicago, Illinois like a big playground.
Then suddenly Spider-Man swung onto the scene
And webbed up Eren till he looked like a bean.
Eren got really pissed and he let out a roar-ah,
But he didn’t expect to be hit by Korra!
Who proceeded to whoop his ass in the Avatar State,
Only for her to blindsided by Big Nate,
Then he started to beat Korra in ways she’s never seen,
Until they both got hit by the Mystery Machine,
But before anybody could get away,
They were all cornered by Urameshi Yusuke,
Along with Gon Freecss, who was out for blood,
Korra tried to wash them away with a flood,
But everyone decided to run away,
The moment that Voltron decided to make them pay.
This is the ultimate showdown,
Of ultimate destiny.
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions,
As far as the eye can see.
And only one will survive,
I wonder who it will be.
This is the ultimate showdown,
Of ultimate destiny.
Eren destroyed Voltron by tearing it apart,
Lance and Keith’s blood getting all over Bart.
Then in came Korra to bring the heat,
While stopping to take a bite out of Luffy’s meat.
Spider-Man was injured and needed to take a breath,
Only to be backed into a corner by straight up Death.
But out of nowhere, Death suddenly took a stumble,
And he was face to face with Invincible,
And he turned to face Eren on his rampage,
Invincible tried to stop the Titan’s rage,
Before Spider-Man launched a web at his ankle,
And he left Invincible on a wall to dangle.
Meanwhile Luffy punched Korra in the face with Gear Fifth,
And that got Korra seriously pissed.
Yusuke fired his Spirit Gun at Voltron and he missed,
Voltron was ready to squash Yusuke flat,
But when they saw the Mane Six, oh, pants were shat.
This is the ultimate showdown,
Of ultimate destiny.
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions,
As far as the eye can see.
And only one will survive,
I wonder who it will be.
This is the ultimate showdown,
Of ultimate destiny.
Angels sang out in a holy choir,
As down from the heavens came Saitama.
He delivered a punch that could erase souls,
Straight into Invincible’s asshole.
Who fell onto the ground while screaming for mother,
As Spider-Man changed into Peter Parker.
But Saitama saw through Spidey’s disguise,
And then he ripped out Peter Parker’s eyes.
Then Son Goku and Goku Black,
And Rick Sanchez and Samurai Jack,
And Luke Skywalker and Buffy Summers,
And Lucky Luke and the Dalton Brothers,
Deadpool and Wolverine,
Iron Man and War Machine
Strong Bad and Homestar Runner,
Every single RWBY character,
Luz Noceda and Angelina Ballerina,
Spock, the Rock, Doc Ock,
And John Cena!
All came out of nowhere lightning fast,
To kick Saitama in his caped baldy ass.
It was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw,
With civilians doing nothing but looking on in awe.
The fighting raged on for a century,
Many lives were claimed but eventually,
The champion stood above his inferiors,
Ned Flanders in his bloodstained sweater.
This is the ultimate showdown
Of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys and explosions,
As far as the eye can see
And only one will survive,
I wonder who it will be.
This is the ultimate showdown (This is the ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown (This is the ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
Of ultimate destiny
The power rangers really should have been every fnaf animatronic
i see Mongo and Robbie Rotten in the first couple minutes, this video is peak.
Most of these characters did not need to be replaced haha
Now we only need the full song
Now, hear me out. Every version of Goku instead of Power Rangers.
Pops from Regular Show could've replaced the wrestlers
But imagine a cover but with these charecters
i feel like canonically saitama or the gems from su win, saitama is literally the "one punch man" as is get hit by him once your probably dead, gems from steven universe can fuse to become stronger and theres thousands maybe tens of thousands, they shouldnt all fuse though because the more gems in a fusion the more unstable the fusion, if we count yellows fusion expiriments the cluster solos everyone in both ultimate showdowns combined
i deliberately chose to ignore jasper and lapis, jasper shattered(basically killed) 80 crystal gems on her first day, lapis almost poofed(knocked out) the main 4 crystal gems and drown steven all with a cracked gemstone(when a gems gemstone is cracked theyre weaker usually with a glitchy physical form which can deepen the crack leading to being shattered, the glitchy and unstable physical form can mess with where the body parts of a gem is) she also held back blue diamond(one of the strongest non fused gems) and steven when he basically turned into pink godzilla
I would’ve done the lantern corps of the DC Universe in place of the Power Rangers, they have a longer history, a bigger collection of members and had a huge revitalisation/boost in popularity during the 2000’s with the introduction of about 6 new lantern corps, the lyric replacement also feels nice “every single lantern member!”
This gives me the same exact feeling as that Fall Out Boy remake of We Didn't Start the Fire, it's like "Well, someone was gonna do it EVENTUALLY, and it's a cool idea... I just, uh, hoped it'd be made with any effort put into it..."
Keanu being replaced and then coming back anyway is a great decision though, I was really wondering who could be the "more modern" Mr. Rogers and it just works.
Thanks for the comment. This was mostly for laughs - if someone wanted to do it with more seriousness, they'd have to do it by community poll or something similar because the average person probably doesn't have the pop culture knowledge to replace all 30-something characters without pissing someone off. (And my pop culture knowledge is WAY below average lol) I'd be curious to see how a more rigorous version could go though.
I’d be surprised if this did not blow up!
If we get a remake of ultimate showdown and freddy fazbear is included im going to cry of happines
10:00 I think Gundam series come pretty close to Power rangers. Cause we have like 5 main characters throughout Universal century alone. And they all pilot similar Mobile suits
How dare you replace the blue meanie with Gustavo rocque when Abuela from Coco would have been oerfecy
Because I love him
its funny cuz sheldon basically adores spock lmao
BRUH, I WAS THINKING ABOUT SAITAMA WHEN YOU CAME TO SUPER MAN, NAH I LOVE THIS
My replacement for the power rangers would have been every single castle crasher in which there are 30+
I personally would've replaced them with the Ninja from Ninjago. Granted, there aren't a lot of them, but they are all color coded, even if their colors aren't consistent.
This is absolutely schizophrenic at times, I love it
Lyrics
“Old Mongo was hopping around
Far Far Away like a big playground
When suddenly Robbie Rotten burst from the shade
And hit Mongo with a rotten grenade
Mongo got pissed and began to attack
But didn't expect to be blocked by Le Bron James
Who proceeded to open up a can of James-Fu
When Jake Paul came out of the blue
And he started beating up Le Bron James
Then they both got flattened by the rottemobile
But before it could make it back to the Rotten cave
JFK popped out of his grave
And took an AK-47 out from under his hat
And blew Robbie Rotten away with a rat-a-tat-tat
But he ran out of bullets and he ran away
Because Clank came to save the day
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Mongo took a bite out of Clank
Like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime
And then Le Bron came back covered in a tire track
But Magnús Scheving jumped out and landed on his back
And Robbie Rotten was injured, and trying to get steady
When JFK came back with a machete
But suddenly something caught his leg and he tripped
Nathan Drake took him out with his whip
Then he saw Mongo sneaking up from behind
And he reached for his gun which he just couldn't find
'Cause Robbie Rotten stole it and he shot and he missed
And Magnús Scheving deflected it with his fist
Then he jumped in the air and did a somersault
While JFK tried to pole vault
Onto Clank, but they collided in the air
Then they both got hit by a Furby stare
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown
Angels sang out an immaculate chorus
Down from the heavens descended Shaggy
Who delivered a kick which could shatter bones
Into the crotch of Nathan Drake
Who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain
As Robbie Rotten changed back into Old lady
But Shaggy saw through his clever disguise
And he crushed Robbie Rotten’s head in between his thighs
Then Walter White and Heisenberg
And Hector Salamanca
And King Jong-il and the Gustavo Rocque
And Sam and Cat
Steve, Default Skin, Gru, and Megamind
Loki, Saitama, every single Gem
Sans and Papyrus
Sheldon Cooper, Hikaru Nakamura, Doctor Doofenshmirtz, and Eric Hansen
All came out of nowhere lightning fast
And they kicked Shaggy in his Hungry ass
It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw
With civilians looking on in total awe
The fight raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed, but eventually
The champion stood, the rest saw their better
Keanu Reeves in a bloodstained sweater
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown
(The ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
(The ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
Of ultimate destiny
Could've used the Shin Godzilla incarnation to replace Godzilla since the lyrics dubs him "Old Godzillia" and Shin means New lol, it'd be such a good subtle joke.
Dude that was most excellent to make Keanu Reeves win man
That is an impressive amount of research, for a song that, as you said, will never be made. And that's the main complaint I have I guess, that I won't get to hear a version that builds upon this research.
Also I do wonder whether you set your replacement criteria to be a little strict, too strict in fact that while some are spot on, like JFK and his ray gun from COD for Abe and his AK47, some of them feel weird or off. So like for Optimus Prime you could have used pretty much any Gundam or Gurren Lagann or EVA-01, who ARE in best known for giant robots, as opposed to Rachet and Clank which you say is not.
Either way, this is one hell of explanation for all the characters in the song. You have my thanks.
seeing power rangers him struggle to find a replacement made me immediately think of Bionicle's from Lego.
Just subbed cuz of this video! I also am currently watching your Bean Battles video and am liking it so far!
i dont know how this got into my recommended but im glad it did. thank you
honestly i think the cobra kai's could replace power rangers
Somebody needs to make this an actual song tbh
10:26 the ninja turtles were right there bro… right there…
tbh i thought you were going to change Mr. Rodgers with Mr. bean
18 years of ultimate destiny
A good replacement for all the power rangers could be all the starter pokemon, as there are lots of them, they’re color coded, and pokemon is literally the biggest media franchise in the world.
It's the video I never knew I needed
Keanu reeves is on there twice lmao
"We're All Mad Here..." - Mad Hatter (Alice In Wonderland) 🤪
Man, you should've replaced Godzilla with Reptar from Rugrats.
