Epic War between LOTR (movies) vs. True Blood

All characters from the Lord of the Rings side are in play. Each side has gone to war with the other due to Russell Edgington wanting the Ring of Power.

No modern day weapons for any True Blood character. Vampires can use stakes or any other weapon save a modern weapon. All vampires, werepanthers, witches, mediums, shifters faeries, maenad, and werewolves.

The maenad was Marry Anne Forrester from season 2. The Authority is in full force as well without their modern day weapons. No humans for True Blood but since Sookie is half faerie she is good.

Every character from LOTR is included along with a fully bodied Sauron from the FOTR.

Each side has a week prep. Both worlds are banding together to stop the other. Middle earth is being invaded by the True Blood characters.

Are we also talking the armies of nameless characters? The Dead men of Dunharrow beat literally everyone in true blood.

Yep. Unkillable ghost army ftw.

Ghosts are weak against Dark type, which vampires totally are. Dark and misunderstood.

Do people still favor the LOTR side ?

Hard to say. I cant tell how many of each is there. I think that if we include whole armies then the lord of the rings win pretty handidly. If were only talking main characters then I'd hear out an argument either way.

^👆

Really depends on how many there are on the LotR side. The TB vamps are above any single character here.. besides trolls and elephants, but whatever.. but they're not so much stronger that with their hundreds(?) they can take on several thousands?

If the fight is relegated to the main characters, then the True Blood universe wins rather casually.

...Unless Gandalf's patented flare o' doom is comparable to sunlight. mmm

Gandalf's light hurts Orcs the way that Sunlight hurts Orcs. No way around that, really 😬

I would say it is. Which is why I'd hear the argument. And if the Balrog is a part of the fight then there are other avenues.

Was it genuine sunlight that affected orcs so strongly or just any particularly potent light?

Well Torchlight won't do it. Are you saying a Flashlight could take them out? I highly doubt that, but it could never be proven.

No implications, just wondering if it was some sort of mystical property of sunlight that injured orcs (like vampires) or if any powerful light would do, like a spotlight.

Did Gandalf's staff generate the light during his calvary raid on Helm's Deep or did it channel sunlight from the approaching dawn?

I'd say its magical light, not sunlight. Not provably at least.

I see. Well, it seems to me that this all comes down to Gandalf's wood.

Well, if he gets to use it. They might be too fast for him.

Assuming its even stiff enough for them to feel it.

Russell, the oldest and most powerful vampire in the True Blood mythos (perhaps bar the newly-introduced "Billith" and the enigmatic Warlow) felt it when Eric rammed him good and proper with a foot-long.

Gandalf's wood is substantially larger and his experiences with Saruman reveal that he knows how to wield it properly; it was sufficient to exhaust Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in the forest, remember?

.... I don't think I can out-gay that actually. Good job. mmm

Anyway, I agree that the TB side can't stand against entire armies. And with the amry of the dead its a freaking stomp.

Its the other way around with just named characters though.

If a dwarf can take out orcs by the scores imagine what 10 regular vampires can do with their speed.
