Cancer Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 ((Necromancy)) Murder by Death, since I've seen that more. Necromancy and other evil magics: Maleficent in Disney's Sleeping Beauty vs the Wicked Queen in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 The Wicked Queen's best magic trick was disguising herself as a crone. Maleficent turned into a giant fire-breathing dragon. No contest. Speaking of dragons: Smaug (from the second and third of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy) versus Vhagar (from the recent House of the Dragon television series). From the best official sources I could find, the two of them are of comparable length, between 130 and 150 meters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 I am going with Smaug. He could talk and he was his own creature, having a motivation of his own. Now if you said the Smaug from the cartoon I would have said Vhagar. The Balrog from the Lord of the Rings films (the Peter Jackson ones) vs one of The Nazgul (aka Ringwraith) also from Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Balrog, hands down, as Balrogs are on or near the same power level as the Nazgul's creator. One had to be taken out by a Wizard, and killed that incarnation of the Wizard in the process. The other was taken down by a plucky warrior. The Doctor from Doctor Who, David Tennant incarnation vs. Professor Moriarity of Sherlock Holmes fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One had to be taken out by a Wizard, and killed that incarnation of the Wizard in the process. The other was taken down by a plucky warrior. Well, if we're talking about the movie versions, I have to say that I would have agreed with you before seeing the extended version of Return of the King. In the movies, Gandalf the Grey fought the Balrog at length, and succeeded in killing it, though he died in the process. But the extended RotK has a scene in which the Witch-King of Angmar shattered the staff of Gandalf the White by his magic. Obviously the Witch-King was the strongest of the Nazgul, but still a Nazgul. And he wasn't taken down by a plucky warrior, but by two, one of whom caught him by surprise from behind, and neither of whom were covered by his prophecy of invincibility. Of course, the Nazgul would have been another level of terrifying if their master's Ring was on his hand again. Pattern Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going with the Doctor as he has vastly more experience and could challenge Moriarty as he has had a similar foe in The Master.

BoloOfEarth Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Gold for command. They're more likely to piss their pants and need to hide it, than to get shot and need to hide it.

Sundog Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 B17. Did most of the heavy lifting in WWII. Plus, the B29 was a bit of a disappointment - the next really good US heavy bomber was the B36 Peacemaker. Which would you rather have? A model rail set or a model racing car set?

They are more fun. Fighters. P39 Airacobra vs P40 War/Kittyhawk BoloOfEarth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Both were disappointing in their WW2 performance as fighters -- the lack of a supercharger was telling -- though the Warhawk was the staple aircraft for the Flying Tigers in China, and the Soviets made use of a lot of Airacobras on the Eastern Front. Both were American aircraft with lots of armor behind the pilot, of considerable value since their opposition was generally armed with .30 caliber MGs that could not, in general, pierce that armor. I will go with the P-40 because half again as many were built as the P-39.
