Friday's five this week is ultimate battles. When my boys were younger and their friends came over, sometimes we'd discuss ultimate battles and who would win. So here are my thoughts. Feel free to disagree in the comments.
1.Voldemort
vs. Saruman
I
think this is the most interesting battle. Evil sorcerer vs. evil sorcerer. My
guess is that Voldemort takes Saruman. Even though Saruman has the orcs and the
Uruk-hai, Voldemort would use the imperius curse and they’d end up toasting
Saruman.
2. President
Snow (The Hunger Games) vs. the White Witch (Chronicles of Narnia)
This is one
is hard to call. Two very different styles of evil. But I couldn’t resist the
two winter themes. My guess is that the White Witch takes President Snow. After
all, I don’t see anyone breaking her wand. But I’ve no question that President
Snow escapes at the last moment.
3. Old Captain
Kirk vs. New Captain Kirk
Old Captain
was tough and always in control. But I’m guessing in a battle new Captain Kirk
wins—he’s more unpredictable and I think he’d out think old Captain Kirk. (And
the fact that Chris Pine is more handsome than William Shatner has nothing to
do with it.)
4. Black Widow
(Avengers) vs. Eowyn
This is a
tough one. Their styles are so different. The Black Widow is conniving, volatile
and strong. Whereas, Eowyn is completely forthright in her desires and plans. And even though I honestly think Black Widow
could take Eowyn, I’m giving the win to Eowyn because she’s one of my favorite
characters, feminine and tough.
5. Ziva David
(NCIS) vs. Zoe Washburne (Firefly)
This last one
I’d like your help in determining the winner. In my book, their styles aren’t
hugely different. Ziva definitely has Mossad training on her side. But Zoe is
Zoe.
So what do
you think?
