I'm caught up to the 14th episode of the current season of Vampire Diaries and i didn't think i would like it as much as i do. Some stuff has been transparent and predictable, but there have been some cool surprises.
Strength, True Blood > Vampire Diaries.
Better show, True Blood < Vampire Diaries.
matching them up season versus season...
season 1: True Blood. (not even close)
season 2: Vampire Diaries. (not by much, almost a draw)
season 3: Vampire Diaries. (decent margin)
so far, the 14 eps of season 3 VD have been better than the 12 eps of season 3 TB.
😂 Think we missed the point of the whole V.S thing.
Good arguments about the shows, but this was susposed to be about the charaters. 🙄
In both shows the age of a vamp implies increase in strength and speed. So going off that alone for the moment...
Damon is (aprox) 169 years old.
Bill is 173 (according to wiki).
So age difference isn't much to tilt the scales to either one.
Bill is more humane than Damon (early season damon) but since they'd be going at one another that point is mute.
This is a tough one...
Damon acts impulsively often which leaves opening for vulnerability, or could be used as an element of surprise. Where as Bill seems to always have something up his sleve. Damon has those moments too and yet (I'd say) he is still more impulsive as Bill.
Damon has a daylight ring. A plus.
Bill has Sookie's blood, but not necessarily at his disposable. He's not dumb enough to come out during the day so...
Still even in my mind... (I'm posting this as it comes to mind so sorry about the rabbeling on)
Then we have weakness...
Both have a weakness for their women.
Bill- Silver, woodstakes, witches/necromancers
Damon- White oak from the original tree, werewolf bite, vervain (but has been ingesting it through out the years so he'd have to be drained of it first before it or compulsion can be used), witches.
So kinda still at a stale mate in my mind (without outside interference)
I'd like to see what you guys think 😊
If it was a random encounter I would probably give it to Damon. Bill will probably try to strike him, whereas Damon would go for the heart-rip straight away which he has demonstrated on so many occasions.
I was going to ask what about the Originals vs someone like Godric or Russell, but Originals can't be killed so (not by anymeans the True Blood Vamps have anyway)...

I gotta agree. Damons not the "lets dance" type of guy.

pretty sure True Blood vamps are stronger.Bill (170 yrs), who has been overpowered with ease by Russel (3000 yrs), was able to flip a trailer with people inside it, and uproot a tree using his bare hands.
Eric literally ripped a dude in half.
Russell definitely has the better feats, but he and Godric are kinda exceptions I think due to their age.
I think Eric ripping someone in half can be easily replicated by VD Vamps. Even young vampires like Damon can strike through the sternum to get to the heart without effort. Also, Elijah cleanly karate-chopped some vamp's head off.
Also VD Vamps' compulsion is quicker and more effective than "glamoring".
That all said, I wish originals had more feats instead of relying on immortality and compulsion.
Originally posted by Placidityditto. Other than lifting people off the ground by the neck, the vamps in this show rarely show off their strength. Klaus (i think) recently broke the ground with a punch, but that's about it.

Speed seems to be fairly equal, but True Blood vamps (the old one anyhow) can fly.
