If it were purely Hand-to-hand, Gandalf the white (not the grey) would win. However; all things being equal; all things are not equal. Vader rocks the light saber and no staff or fancy magic is gonna help you once you've been chopped in half.
No contest. Vader is bad-ass. One of the best vilians to ever grace the screen and blow up planets.
Plus you can't F with this:
This is what Darth does after he embarrasses Gandork in a fight, then has his way with his girlfriend.
I dunno, i see ALL your points and counter with the fact that Gandalf can use his sorcery to pretty much pick up Vader and toss him into that volcano on Mt. Doom. The dude defeated that humungo dragon at the end of lord of the rings, people. And You saw what happened to anakin the first time when he got tossed into the lava in mustafar. Sizzled down to the bone. I think Gandalf might be too powerful with his wizardry and toss the darth one and walk away with the taco. I need more time to contemplate this situation...maybe over a taco i can decide this.
It's like you didn't even watch eps 4-6 or something. Vader would use the force to pick up mt. doom to throw at gandalf.
nybble, i think gandalf has the power to turn that mountain of mt. doom into a big fluffy pillow while it was in the air. am i overestimating the great wizards' powers?
no you're spot on there MonkeyBoy, not to mention that Vader cannot pick up a mountain to begin with.
Wait, Darth can't move crap around? I seem to remember an entire scene where Yoda was teaching Luke how to move an X-Wing fighter. Remember, Darth was a master Jedi before he switched, he has teachings on both sides of the fence.
I also recall a scene in ESB where Darth is fighting Luke in the Death Star, Darth uses the Force to throw some containers at Luke which almost knock him out.
Darth wouldn't even fight him, he would get a couple of his Storm Troopers to do it. He is not enough of a threat.
Poyla, i also also remember vader strangling someone without even touching em. XvsY, i think you underestimat the power of the dark side.
i never underestimate his powers. I know he can throw stuff around...but i would also like to say, don't underestimate the powers of gandalf's wizardry. if you haven't noticed, i haven't voted yet. but let me tell you, i know fully well the powers of the force. i'm just trying to let you be aware that gandalf aint no schlub.
This is an excellent contest, filled with the potential to look at both sides of each mythology and really compare the relative strengths and merits of a wizard vs a sith lord. Or you could note that the wizard gets to swing a large piece of wood around and the sith lord gets a god damn LIGHT SABER.
Yep, that light saber might the greatest weapon ever. I'm not saying gandalf would walk away with this taco but i am merely acting as a guy who is acknowledging that gandalf aint no punk ass. he's got some skills too. guy smokes some sort of ganja like substance and can make some weirdo things happen. wizardry is a powerful weapon...magic spells. what if he just turned vader into a donkey?
seriously? One is the creation of the greatest writers to ever live who created an entire new genre of writing. The other is the creation of a guy who, if NASCAR had existed would have done that instead and who created the most annoying character ever Jar Jar Binks. Gandalf can easily defeat Vader. Vader is blinded by his devotion to the Emporer and lured by the power of the Dark, but that is his weakness not his strength. Gandalf, a skilled and master manipulator, would easily confuse Vader's computer/brain and have a hobbit steal the taco while Vader's battled the internal conflict over whether or not to kill his kid....
Now the question is, can Gandalf beath the hobbit for the taco?
Good... Good.... now USE the hatred.
Also, this isnt lucas vs. tolkein. just because the hulk could beat up romeo, doesnt mean that stan lee is a better writer than shakespeare.
V! I couldnt agree more.... Vader is a pussy with low self-esteem -- also, completely wishy-washy -- good, then bad, then good -- just dangle something shiny in front of him . Gandalf would have him for LUNCH I tell you!
I believe that you have reversed the logic ( "if A then B" is not the equivalent of 'if B then A').
SchweatyPete, you are clueless as to the power of the Dark Side. That is a clever and funny comedy routine though.
Oh, and all of a sudden Jar Jar Binks is = to Darth Vader? Your nutz. The SW writers have come up with thousands of characters, all original. That wizard crap has been told and retold for centuries. Go watch Dragon Slayer, he is basically Merlin.
It comes down to the cool factor. Darth Vader has many cool aspects to him..... he is into black leather, he breaths through a machine, he is part machine, he is 8 feet tall and evil..... these are all cool. Gandalf is just not cool. He is an old man with gay powers and a stick.
"seriously? One is the creation of the greatest writers to ever live who created an entire new genre of writing. " Ummm yeah, that would be Lucas.
Vader will cut off Gandalf's hand and then kill him. Gandalf will come back, and nuke his ass with a giant blast of light. There will be no speeches about who is whose father. The light blast will cook Vader's vocal chords. The end.
im not so sure... it has been established that exposing vader to intense heat makes him come back much cooler looking and a better actor.
Only when he's a crappy, cry-baby to begin with GC. Once he's fully Vader, exposing him to fire kills him and allows him to tranistion into a etheral spirit just like Obi Wan and Yoda.
perfect point. Gandorks weapon is a ray of light. That is Madonna's weapon too,m other than her armpits and Kaballa.
That might very well be the most i've been entertained in a long while. asides, of course, from buttholio's photoshop below.
It what world would Gandalf get his head cut off, everything that hits the staff bounces off. Moreover, he wields Glamdring, an elf forged sword that is nearly unbreakable as well as Narya, one of the 3 elven rings. Narya is the ring of Fire and would melt that half-man Vader. Combine that with the fact that oldest Jedi was a mere 900 years old, and Gandalf lived in Middle Earth alone for over 2,000...he's forgotten more shit than Vader ever knew.
SchweatyPete, you're my boy today! bringing it. gandalf would crush vader and then use his helmet as a salad bowl for his "greens".
That said, the true dorks (the writers of Dragon Magazine) state that Gandalf had the powers of a 5th level magic user. And, for those of you who weren't as big a dork as I was in high school, that's pretty fucking weak.
5th level? HA! You know what Vader would do if Gandalf cat Magic Missile at him? I mean... if I knew... what.. magic missile was... and um.. 5th level... You're such a DORK! D&D was for LOSERS!
buttholio loves the green too, cormy. i bet gandalf has some trippy acid that makes you see small people and walking trees and shit.
that's the tautological equivalent, pDd of "I am rubber, you are glue..." so I respond with "I know you are but what am I?"

Gandalf is so old he doesn't know what color he is. Is he grey? Is he white? Who knows. Vader knows what color he is. He's black. He's big and black. He's big, black, and mean. He's big, black, mean, and he's kick your ass and steal your tacos.
