He basically destroyed the kingdoms of Arnor in the books, I guess.
Originally posted by NemeBroI guess our opinions on it differ. I had been meaning a contest of who LOOKS more badass. I agree that in order to be a true badass you have to be able to back it up.
Uh, no, actions are much more important in terms of being a badass.A character can look badass and be anything but.
Like, say, the Witch King.

In nemebro's world only feats matter.
See how silly you look right now?
But no, when a demigod goes to battle, I expect more than being shanked in the back and the face. Or does that qualify as badass to you?
Originally posted by NemeBroNo, my point is just because someone has badass feats that doesn't mean they can't be shanked in the backside.

In the movies while he has the feat of disarming Gandalf, he also has the feat of getting a torch shoved in his face and running away screaming.
Disarming Gandalf the white is a good combat feat. That doesn't mean he's beyond everyone else weaker than Gandalf.
Originally posted by NemeBroI know Voldemort clearly wins but seeing as how the feats don't add up in terms of formidability it shows you I am right once again.

LoL, the clear bias and fanboyism towards anything Potter-related shows its ugly head in the MVF once again.
Gandalf unlike Voldermort isn't a coward at heart; the Witch-King with nothing more than his presence and a scream both shattered Gandalf's magical stave and made him drop a brown-loaf in his knickers. Voldermort runs away before the fight begins, he's a worm. But yeah, go with clear PIS only for the Witch-King and the torch feat. Voldermort was defeated by a man-child. Loligasp.
