Fosfor, Mageohki: Out of curiousity, what channel are you two talking about? (You don't have to reply if you don't want)

 

[blackmamuth]

least gandalf stayed with ONE color...

didn't he change from Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the white in book 3?

Yah and Saruman got kicked out of the Istari. If I remember correctly he became Saruman the colorless.

 

[voidseeker]

yes but he went from GRAY to WHITE

not some gay blue with stars and shit

 

[Ike]

yes but he went from GRAY to WHITE

Gandalf worked as a traveling fireworks salesman, did he not? At least Dumbledore has a respectable job, being head of a political organization AND headmaster of the premier magic school in England, if not the world.

But let's answer hoinestly, who's cooler -Gandalf or Dumbledore?

There is no contest here. Gandalf wins hands down. Dumbles is just apale, wacky imitation.

Gandalf and Elminister are the wizard's wizards.

Somebody that /doesn't/ hate on Elminster??

I'm pretty sure that was just his cover given he is a god. Albeit a god whose powers were mostly taken away but I don't think he really needs the money. Oh and i also like Elminster.

Somebody that /doesn't/ hate on Elminster??

I like El. He's the James Bond of Archmagi. Yes, he's something of a munchkin, but what high end wizard isn't? Now, Drizz't OTOH...

Drizzit, s cool as he might be, whines too damn much. Period.

Thiygh I can forgive much due to Guenhwywhar. Anybody who has such a cool cat can't be a bad person... Mostly.

He can be forgiven for much because he hangs around the coolest dwarf in all of fiction.

Thibbledorf Pwent.

so in the end, dumbledore is at the bottom of the 'uber wizard' list

end of story

 

[SoulGriever13]

Salvatore's just _that_ repetitive. The Trilogy that has him chronicle the escape from Underdark is about the only bit of his works that I can read without wincing nowadays.

Hell, I can barely read any FR book nowadays without doing that and putting it away in disgust. I'd thought Cunningham was onto something before she bombed with the third part of her Daughter of the Drow series. That pretty much decided things for me, and I haven't touched a Forgotten Realms novel since. Bleh.

And Drizzt? Someone needs to get the guy laid.

He aint even on the uber wizard's list, simply because he's a Harry Potter Wizard, who have the sole advantage of not forgetting/having to rememorize spells.

His massive disadvantages include the lack of, well, useful spells (and any broken spell in the Potterverse Dumbledore would refuse to use anyway), his lack of a cool personality, and, well, his general inability to teach a student how to fight the big-bad-enemy.


I only mentioned his job's because he DOES have important titles.


And I think he has the best fashion sense out of any male super!wizard (of their series)....I find the fact that he dresses/acts that way hilarious.

-Griever

Drizzt did get laid, in the last book of the Hunter's Blades trilogy.

Basically, he showed up in Mithril Hall again, after everyone thought he was dead, marched past everybody, grabbed Catti-brie, and carried her off to his or her room and sexed her all night.

The sexual frustration ran over.

Elminster isn't James Bond. James Bond is awesome. Elminster is a thinly disgused self-insert mary-sue wankfest. He's worse than PTS Sasuke.

^^^ Typical reaction to Elminster.

 

[zeebee1]

Personally I think elric got the details slightly wrong.

This is how it should go. "James Bond isn't Elminster . Elminster is awesome. James Bond is a thinly disgused self-insert mary-sue wankfest. He's worse than PTS Sasuke."

Unlike James Bond who's toughest challenge every movie except Casino Royale is deciding which chick to bang Elminster actually has problems like when he was turned into a girl or stuck in hell. THere are any number of other cases where Elminster got screwed over. Except for Casino Royale Bond never really got badly screwed over there are a few exception.

Huh. Didn't manage to stomach the books long enough to get that far.

Did it help any, or was it just turned into another device for promoting angst?

Even after Bond got tortured in the last film with Pierce Brodstin (spelling?) in it, he was back to cracking jokes in no time. And back to being normal Bond almost instantly.

That was the last scene in the last book containing Drizzt so far. So nobody knows. (note I actually do like Drizzt I'm just responding to his comment)

James Bond isn't an obnoxiously immortal secret agent whose been saving the world and boinking girls for thousands of years.

James Bond has basicly defined an enire character archetype. Elminster is in many ways just some Gandalf wannabe.

 

[LORD_ARM]

James Bond is bad ass in the movies but in the book he is human. He dose not have any gadgets or super cool rocket cars and all most gets beaten to death in a lot of the books. Casino Royale was the most like the book then any of the other movies.

James Bond is a Gary Stu. the archetype for the clasic spy was defined by, you'll never beleive this, THE CLASIC SPY!!!

The people why make the Bond movies and stories have even said that he is "everything manly and sexy about the percived image of the international spy" and thats that.
