MCU Luke Cage vs. LOTR Cave Troll

Round 1: Moria Cave troll with the mace
Round 2: Armored Cave troll that smashed through the gates in Minas Tirith

who wins

Isn't Cage... like... retardedly durable?

Cave Troll had some good feats (especially if we include the extended edition), but it's a bit too much to put him on superhero levels.

Only advantage I can see the cave troll really having is size. Luke has him in speed, skill, durability, and quite possibly strength as well (been a while since I watched the LOTR films, so struggling to remember all the strength/striking feats).

Question is would Luke be willing to use lethal force in this instance, seeing as it's not a human opponent? Because morals could make a huge difference here, depending on how much damage Cage is actually willing to inflict. If he's not willing to really lay into the troll, he might get caught out in the process.

Cage is more than willing to lay into anyone, in character, to win a fight. And he’s perfectly capable of winning this one, for reasons you already pointed out.

Does the cave troll owe Luke money?

Yes

Well that settles it.

so Luke versus fly, h1 and LoM

Luke wins.

Those trolls could hit pretty hard. I still think like wins

There was only one Cave Troll in the whole movie trilogy (excluding the Bilbo ones that were turned to stone).

In The Return of the King, Gothmog commanded the Olog-hai - "upgraded" trolls that weren't vulnerable to sunlight.

And at the Black Gate, Aragorn fought a Chieftain.

Luke wins. He's far more durable than the trolls, and he seems stronger too. We saw that arrows could hurt the trolls.

"Sweet Christmas!"

Said just before Luke uppercuts any of the trolls into the realm of Oblivion (mixing fantasy worlds, I know I know).
