Malaketh (Thor: The Dark World) vs. Sidious (RotJ)

For those of you who haven't seen the new Thor movie, the main villian is Malaketh and he aims to use his artifact, the Aether to make the entire universe return to darkness (this is not a spoiler, you are told of his motives within the first five minutes of the movie).

He is powered by the Aether, and he is fully aware of Sidious's powers, and Sidious is aware of his.

Sidious does not get a saber, only the force.

This is a movie version only thread for these two.

Who wins, and why do they win?

Malakith wins. Not even Thor was able to best him on his own.

Shouldn't this be in the movie vs forum?

I thought it was MALEKITH who Thor fought 😛

Was Thor unable to win? I just saw the movie on Saturday, and I recall Thor winning in the end.

Whatever, spelling isn't as important when dealing with well known characters.

Who is Malaketh/Malekith?

He does but it's not only by his own power. He uses one of those teleporting spears made by Selvig to beat him. His typical attacks seemed mostly ineffective.

^Mostly, but he was strong enough to throw the teleporting spears accurately at Malekith through a giant cyclone cloud of Aether.

This is Malekith. He is the leader of the Dark Elves in Thor: The Dark World, he controls the artifact known as the Aether, which can make any world, or worlds, go dark entirely. He has a type of psychic abilities. When he becomes one with the Aether, he turns completely black and he is able to shoot out spear-like projections of the Aether.

i know, having some fun..

as for the thread Malekith wins.. ROTJ Sids force lightning I don't think will even affect him

Thor's lightning burned Malekith pretty badly before Malekith allowed the Aether to become part of him, and Thor did hit him more than a few times with lightning in their last battle (Although Thor's lightning is probably on a much higher level than Sid's lightning).

which is why i don't think Sid's lightning will have any type of effect , could be wrong though

But at the same time, Sidious is among the few force users who had force lightning strong enough to kill on contact. So it could still do the job, it would just take longer due to the lower concentration of voltage, whereas Thor had a much higher concentration of voltage than Sidious, so it would take less time to fry Malekith.

Palps gets owned.

He is still the better char though

Sidious gets Elf'd, unless it's EU Sidious.

The thread title says it is RotJ Sidious.

Sidious loses.

But to be fair Malekith is nothing without the Aether. As the king of the dark elves he got owned by FRIGGA! Same person who Laufey(frost giant king) one shot. But I won't act like Laufey is weak since he was abke to Ight on par with Odin and was king of a race that was generally stronger than the dark elves.

Malekith, without the Aether, took that grazing Gungnir blast to the face and only suffered minor burns. Comparatively, that spear destroyed entire jotuns and dark elves, so I'd say his durability is much higher than he's being given credit for.

That declared, he wins.
