Though I kind of feel like this outcome was reached just to generate more views. Oh and Toph has smelting powers now...imagine that.
The closest point of comparison for my feelings towards Toph is my feelings towards Kenpachi. Both super powerful characters in their own universe despite the natural limitations that are out of their control(until Kenpachi stopped with that). Both are funny and pretty tough, capable of doing the impossible. Both are pretty extreme examples of what they are trying to be, namely a brash, sassy tomboy and a testosterone oozing bloodknight of a man. I can see the appeal of such characters, and I'd be lying if I said they didn't make me laugh a few times, but overall not my cup of tea.
Mind you Gaara is not really my cup of tea either. But he really should have won this fight.
Gaara should have won, no question. The DB analysis outright claimed you'd need to be about speed of sound to keep ahead of his sand, and they failed to prove Toph could operate at that speed. And I prefer Toph as a character.
The outcome bothered me less then Scorpion beating Ryu, though. That was a straight up no limits fallacy, assuming he's invincible in hell.

While I agree she developed the least, that doesn't necessarily make one a bad character.. Astro Cities Confessor was pretty much set from start to finish, as the real meat and potatoes development was deserved for his sidekick, but he was by far one of the most interesting characters in the series.
I thought Toph was pretty inspiring, given her background and dystopian world she lived in. Strong, cheerful, and a loyal to her friends.

Gaara should have been able to blitz Toph before she could even react. Nobody in Avatar (unless you try to use completely ridiculous outliers) could have been able to evade being blitzed by Lee with his weights on. Gaara defeated Lee as a genin.And hell, how is it that Toph is able to control Gaara's sand better than Gaara himself? He couldn't control his sand shield, and yet magically Toph can. Based on what? I'm beginning to feel the bias.
Now I want to see if they think Toph could get a win in a metal bending contest with Magneto.

They are literally paid to get the facts right, it'd be stupid to suggest that their calculations were wrong at any point.
Unless Kishi and Bryke were to somehow come together and agree that they are right, there really is no correct answer. They are paid to put on a decent show, have a fun fight, and give a well reasoned argument for why they picked the one who won over the other.
The problem is their argument sucks. It relies on a statement outside of the show(if we used that then Haku is lightspeed lulz) and a statement that frankly means nothing. Sure Toph can see Gaara's attacks but that means nothing. She hasn't demonstrated the speed to make a difference. And when it comes down to it the sheer amount of sand would overwhelm her.

Rogue vs Wonder Woman was pretty off too, but that one at least made a little sense.
That was the first Death Battle I ever saw. Needless to say, I've never taken them seriously after that...

It could happen. Not the way DB animated it, because the kicks would have taken Rogue right out, but I could see Wonder Woman going for a punch, getting leeched, and losing the fight. (Good thing she wasn't fighting Barda, with her full body armor and gauntlets. 😛 )
That's assuming the magic animating her doesn't interfere with Rogue's absorption power... She can't leech the Juggernaut, can she?
It's contradictory. At time she can and at others she can't. Regardless, a few punches is all it would take to put Rogue down (even with Ms Marvel's powers). And Rogue is only going to be able to leech the smallest amount of power in those very brief moments of contact. WW is far to fast and strong for Rogue. Plus WW has acces to a very formidable arsenal.
It's a stomp basically.

The comments on this video is ****ing priceless. The one time Screw Attack doesn't screw up and the Batfanboys go crazy.
Let's see... In no particular order, Godzilla vs Gamera, Terminator vs Robocop, Goku vs Superman, Goomba vs Koopa (because why not? 😛), and assuming the remaster will be as good as hoped, Samus vs Boba Fett.
A number of other ones I like too, but either don't care for 'em enough to consider them a favorite, or they just didn't leave behind as much an impression on me.
RIP Monty 🙁
