Lord of the Rings vs Game of Thrones Popularity Tournament

The Starks

Arwen and Aragorn romance and their son Eldarion 2-4 Eddard and Catelyn marriage and family life.

I'll give this one to The Starks actually.

So the direwolfs prevailed. And here comes another.

Merry and Pippin vs the Lannister brothers

@wundagoreborn

Lannister bros. Tough choice though.

Merry and Pippin

Lannisters.

The Hobbits sucked.

I'd vote for GoT if tyrion was solo. As it stands, hobbits.

Lannister Bros stomp.

The Lannisters sends their regards. Moving to another.

The Oathbreakers (or the Dead Men of Dunharrow) vs the White Walkers

@ordinaryalan@omnicrono@greatcaesarsghost@eyedcyou@blackjudas@rogueshadow@godzilla44@those_eyes@judasnixon@fallen_crippled

@wundagoreborn

Hm. Am I the only one who doesn't get the notifications from the tag?

The oathbreakers

No me too, also my vote goes to White Walkers much creepier IMO

You can tag me if you wish with newer matches ;)

Oathbreakers own! Nuff said!

I am also not getting the notifications.

I suppose I'll vote for the White Walkers, but I dislike how corpsy they look in the show. In the books they are suppose to be eerily beautiful, like ice.

No, it happens to me to.

Past Round:Lannister Bros (Not sure if i had the tag) if we talk about them as individual being but if we are talking about their relation than the Hobbits stomps.

The Oathbreakers (or the Dead Men of Dunharrow) 3-3 The White Walkers

ww

White Walkers. Though as people have said, the more Sidhe like book versions are cooler. But then the Night's King looked vastly different, so that suggests a good degree of diversity is present between them, maybe we've just been seeing incredibly ugly ones. That being said, the show ones are still badass.

GOT is getting a point. Lets head to another one.

Breaking of the Fellowship vs the Red Wedding.

@ordinaryalan@omnicrono@greatcaesarsghost@eyedcyou@blackjudas@rogueshadow@godzilla44@those_eyes@judasnixon@fallen_crippled

@deathpoolthet1000@metaljimmor@kcjr@rustyroy@the_titan_lord@imaloserforbeinghere@thorverine@princearagorn1@jedixman@kairan1979@rouflex@i_like_swords

@wundagoreborn@fallingcliffs

The Breaking

The Red Wedding, easily, Unless Boromir's death falls within the breaking of the fellowship, then it'd be closer, but I'd still go with the the Red Wedding.

Red Wedding stomp.

Breaking the Fellowship.

Red wedding: rob and kate, plus the child named after sean bean.

Fellowship: Gandalf standoff and Boromir's death.

Hm. Dat Shock vs epic. How to choose?

Probably latter, specially if all deaths are involved.

@rogueshadow: @eyedcyou: did you guys count gandalf as well?

@princearagorn1: It happened so much earlier that I didn't count it.

Unless this was just Boromir's death, I have to go with the shocker that is The Red Wedding.

Red Wedding in a tough call for me.

Also, I'm not getting notified either on any of these. Weird.

Red Wedding is more shocking, but Breaking the Fellowship had more depth and variety of feeling for me.

Fellowship wins in a tough call.

Breaking the Fellowship.

@rogueshadow: It actually involve Gandalf's and Boromir's Death.

I was going to vote for the Red Wedding, but since Penderor said it includes Gandalf and Boromir's deaths then the breaking of the Fellowship wins hands down.

Gandalf vs the Balrog was the greatest event in the movies. So spectacular and impactful. It's hard to describe how that scene made me feel, because it was such an odd combination of awe and sorrow. Probably one of the few moments where seeing the movies first was the better choice. Loved the books, but it's hard to top those visuals and Ian McKellen's commanding voice.

Conversely Boromir's death was more impactful in the book for me. Probably because I spent more time with him and really got to understand his motivations in the book, but not so much from the movie.

Either way, breaking of the Fellowship tops the Red Wedding. I'll take epic combat and heart breaking loss over shock value any day.

Breaking of the fellowship

@metaljimmor: I did not ment like their final fights. More like their death moments and the fact that they are gone.

@penderor:

I know. I wasn't taking Gandalf's full fight with the Balrog into the equation, just the moment he faces the Balrog to let the others flee and his "dying" words. "Fly you fools!"

Gandalf sacrificed himself to save the Fellowship. In that moment he showed his true power, and it was epic. After he died it left a weird mixture of excitement for having seen such a display and sorrow for having lost him. He was my favorite character before that scene, so I felt his loss especially hard.

Red Wedding

@metaljimmor: True.

@metaljimmor: I agree, first time I saw that I was like "oh crap they killed Gandalf!" lol the movies got me into the books more.

Then when he came back uber powerful I was like damn...lol

So yeah Breaking the Fellowship for my vote easily!

In a tought fight, Fellowship gets it. And going to another.

Tywin Lannister vs Theoden Eorl

Who is better golden hair ruler?

@ordinaryalan@omnicrono@greatcaesarsghost@eyedcyou@blackjudas@rogueshadow@godzilla44@those_eyes@judasnixon@fallen_crippled

@deathpoolthet1000@metaljimmor@kcjr@rustyroy@the_titan_lord@imaloserforbeinghere@thorverine@princearagorn1@jedixman@kairan1979@rouflex@i_like_swords

@wundagoreborn@fallingcliffs

@jedixman This one is for you :*

Tywin. No contest.

bump

Theoden Eorl

Theoden. Putting together everything tywin did doesn't help him match that battle speech to riders.

Theoden

Tywin.

Really depends for me.

I'd pick Tywin as a political leader. He's a spectacular schemer, and is ruthless enough to get the job done.

In warfare I'd go with Theoden. Warrior king. Didn't get tactically outsmarted by a teenager. Epic speech.

I suppose I'll go with Tywin simply because he wasn't turned into a brainless thrall and endanger his kingdom.

Rohan.

Tywin
