Swordfight to the death in the Coliseum. Who takes it?

Good thread. Just one question before i reply. Does Aragorn have Anduril?

Aragorn takes this rather easily.

Tricky question. If we go simply by feats of "opponents defeated" then Aragorn should win easily. Single handedly defeating multiple orcs and multiple Nazguls is not something Maximus has ever accomplished.

On the other hand if we based it on how well they actually moved and fought, Aragorn seems slow and ungainly compared to Maximus. Maximus looks like he should be able to dance around Aragorn. Plus there's Aragorn's fight with that big orc which kinda proves that Aragorn is vulnerable when faced with a skilled opponent. Maximus on the other hand seemed near invincible other than that poison stuff.

So Im not sure.

bwahahaha! maaaaaaan, i thought this was a transformer, then realized it's Optimus, not Maximus.

i think its down to who's weaker: urukhai or the gladiators maximus faced. on those grounds maximus wins imho.

Aragorn is more impressive, but Maximus has a better scruff...


This is a tough one.

Maximus is too quick, has too many ways to attack. He'll be coming at Aragorn from all angles. He wins.

Overall a close fight, but Aragorn has survived far greater odds and has a measure of super-strength helping him here. He takes it, imo.

End of Fellowship, after he tells Frodo to run, he turns and faces 100+(?) Uruks. Pulls out his sword and wades single-handily into the mob hacking, spinning and slashing his way through. He fought them solo for a good 3-4mins before Gimli and Legolas came in to help.

Then there's the other two films.

they were not all Urukhai irrc.

That scene it was all Uruks, they were the newly created batch from Isengard.

Starts around 1:76: http://www.movie2k.to/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-The-Fellowship-of-the-Ring-watch-movie-1313191.html

sure is a lot of them. trouble is while 2 are attacking the other 60 are standing there doing the chacha

Mark that down to "hero awe", where the hero is so badass at delivering death, the enemy is scared to use overwhelming tactics.

Similar happened in that scene with Maximus, he's facing 6 gladiators and they come at him in pairs or solo, instead of forming a circle and attacking him from multiple fronts.

could be the code of the arena. keep the fight dragged out to make the audience happy. on the other end we have retarded orc doing the chachacha.

He didn't fight them all in the middle like that, he fell back to a choke point so he could kill them one by one.

They weren't trying to kill him anyway, most ignored him to find the halflings.
