Really... who would win?

sniffnoyAbout a week ago or so, I was talking to Josh Zelinsky and he asked who I thought would win in a fight between Voldemort and Sauron. Well that one's pretty obvious; Voldemort doesn't even nearly compare to Sauron. But see he started saying about his idea of an overall baddassity scale - at first it was supposed to be logarithmic - being one point above another person means you would be about equal in a fight to about 10 of them - but that quickly got unmanageable and we decided it should be linear instead. And so he gave two more examples on the scale; Sirius Black and Bob Cordwell (who he ranked at .001, though I think it should be even lower :P ). Well, not quite examples, as we spent some time debating just where they belonged, but my point is, when he brought up Bob, he didn't specify Cordwell, so my immediate thought was Bob from Bob and George (of course the .001 obviously rules him out...) . And so for the past few days, I've been wondering: Who would win in a fight, Voldemort or Bob?
Well normally when stuck with a question like this I'd ask the Oracle. But, of course, seeing the nature of the question, I decided I ought to ask Red Mage instead. :D Of course I'll probably not get a response... how long has it been since he's actually put up a new column? But still, I think that is such a great question... :D

What about Morgoth???
Date: 2004-06-30 12:11 am (UTC)Morgoth, well, Melkor, technically, would definitely destroy Sauron.
As said in the Silmarillion: Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and of Hate, sowed in the hears of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days
And all the other dark lords? Like Archimonde, or something. Bah, Tolkien mythology is way too extensive sometimes. Supposedly there was gonna even be another book with a NEW Dark Lord, for the end of the Fourth Age. "Return of the Shadow" the book was gonna be called, I think.
