True Blood vs Vampire Diaries

Hi all,

This isn't about which show is better, but rather which vampires are stronger.

Damon Salvatore

vs

Bill Compton

Both have very similar powers, Damon has a few more little tricks, however, not very useful in combat. Both also aged around 170 years old.

Here are some feats from Damon, I figure True Blood is much more popular and Bill needs to introduction:

I thought Damon and Bill would be a good matchup between the two shows, but feel free to discuss other characters, e.g Lexi

Eric Northman, Godrick, Pearl etc...

wow, the pics look quite terrible.

Neither. As for the shows, no comparison. True Blood.

Dude... you have truly awful taste. True Blood (like Being Human UK) has gotten exponentially worse with every season to the point that it is now awful. True Blood had one good season - which was obviously the first one - season two was alright, but season three and four were bad. Barely watchable bad. Vampire Diaries started off slow in season one but ramped up, getting progressively better each episode until the finale and then season two was even better. Season three has been a let down, but even then VD has never hit the lows True Blood has... because True Blood has entire seasons comfortable chilling in the Marianas Trench of awfulness.

Maybe TB will better this season with a new show runner, but as it stands right now, and as funny as it is to say, the CW has a better show than HBO.

Also Damon would rip Bill's heart out.

You have extremely awful tastes then for not thinking True Blood isn't good.

I don't not think True Blood isn't good, I do think - Actually I don't think it isn't good, I know it isn't good, my opinion doesn't factor in to the equation at all. On all points that could be used to objectively measure the quality of a show True Blood falls well short of the mark - it isn't good... I just said that... in the post you were quoting.

In case that all went above your head, the wording of your post accused anyone of liking True Blood of having bad taste. I'm glade you agree that anyone who doesn't think True Blood isn't good has bad taste though. 😎

The only thing True Blood does better than VD is show frontal nudity.

Oh I see I wrote it wrong thanks for pointing that out. 😈. But True Blood is great. I don't know how anyone can think that Vampire Diaries is better than True Blood. And no frontal nudity is not the only thing that it has better, pretty much everything in True Blood is better.

True Blood is awful. It's like a pool of stagnate water, the writers can't committee to anything and they stretch three episodes worth of story into a twelve episode season. Vampire Diaries could have done the entire four season story of True Blood in one... and they would have done it better. True Blood is about as exciting as a Terrence Malick film... and the writing is ****ing awful. Do you want to know why the non nonchalantly mentioned zombies off the cough a dozen times last season? Because dollars to donuts there will be zombies this season (you think Tara is dead? True Blood can't commit to killing anyone... time for zombie Tara! Slightly less irritating than lesbian cage fighting Tara). True Blood is about as subtle as sledge hammer to the face. It is a show for sexually repressed middle aged women who want to see Bill, Eric and Alcide in a four way with Sookie. The show is awful. Awful.

One good season doesn't give all the subsequent seasons immunity from critic if they happen to be terrible.

Double post

VD is a lot better than TB.

Erik, Godric (dead), and Russel are the only good things about TB.

Ha this is fun. But, to be on topic True Blood is ****ing amazing. They stretch it out like that, so people won't die from awesomeness. If they made the entire story for each season in 3 episodes, people would die from shock, do you think they want that. If Vampire Diaries would have tried to do that it would've failed, because Vampire Diaries sucks in comparison.

They stretch it out like that because of the staggering levels of incompetence of everyone on the writing staff. People would die of shock from what exactly? True Blood is about as shocking as a documentary on stamp collecting. 45 minutes of Sookie making googly eyes at Erik / Bill / Alcide / Sam, with periodic bits of nudity and terrible sub plots from terrible ancillary characters sprinkled in intermittently.

Are you thirteen years old?

Erik was awful last season. Neutered sissy baby man Erik.

I couldn't watch the 3rd season of True Blood.

And yet I'm still watching Vampire Diaries.

So Vampire Diaries wins.

In no way is VD better than TB. I don't know Bill can get some stuff done when he wants.

TB was good its first few seasons, but it's mediocre at best now with some good episodes thrown in. VD is consistently better at everything.

Great rebuttal.
