Sci (I think it was him..?) made a series based on Cinema Sins, nothing's stopping you from doing the same thing with Death Battle. If people decide to add something to it, then they can do so in the comments. Ok. But what if we added a thing to the templates for grading an alien's destructive power tiers, physical toughness, and so on? You know, like on VSbattlesWiki. In addition to what Jose said, a lot of people just plain don't USE stats for their aliens. They just give them powers that make them useful in specific situations. And that's what's fun about them. It also allows aliens like Buzzshock and AmpFibian to be both used becuase we don't know which one of them is the best Electric/Flying Alien.

(Jk we all know AmpFibian is better lol) Nobody's saying you can't have Fourarms-gasaur demonstrate building-destroying strength in one episode, and continent-destroying strength in another. You'd just have to go back and change the tiering.

Also, Buzzshock's the battery man, right? Buzzshock is better because he can clone himself once he eats enough electricity. You can't just go back and change the tiering like that, you have to keep it consistent and ambiguous at the same time. Also that only works like that, but if you do it backwards than you're screwed. Imagine we have Fourmongousaur destroying a whole planet with one punch (Ik it's not possible it's just an example), next episode we have him fighting the main villain of the story and you end up HAVING to nerf him so he doesn't just rk him like that. Makes sense. What if we instead went with reddit's Respect Thread's methods of doing things, where you link to the most impressive feats your character accomplished? For example..
