DULLEST
Gandalf is technically superior (he's the equivalent of an archangel)
but Tolkien magic is so passive and vague that Dumbledore will roll him over with actual magic

Gandalf is a fucking pussy.
>one old wizard faggot vs another old wizard faggot
Literally who cares
Never happened in the book, Gandalf was nearly equal in power to Sauron. Also Rye Witch King was taken down by a Hobbit, the woman just capitalised in it. Also these reasons

He's just a conjuror of cheap tricks m8.
>>reincarnate and become superior (white)
the fuck is Gandalf a super saiyan?
Gandalf is a demigod, Dumbledore is a magical school principle. There is no question here.
Obviously not the character from one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the seriesüf only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but itüfs certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books are g-g-good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King
Gandalf: killed by a flame demon, brought back to life by God himself
Dumbledore: killed by some guy who can't figure out how to use shampoo
didn't happen in the book

>"Can't risk spending 5 seconds finishing off this super important dude or the whole campaign might be compromised."
Why do these hacks keep doing this? It's even worse in TV shows.
What can I say?
Tolkien was a hack compared to Rowling.
Dumbledore is powerful but Gandalf is a light bearer. That doesn't happen by accident. He's more than a wizard.

I'm pretty sure this is bait, but that scene was obviously not in Tolkien's work.
One can come back to life, the other cant.
/Thread.
You are just trollsplaining now.
Dumbledore is literally a confirmed faggot.
That's a jackson filler scene that goes against the lore of Tolkien.
This. Also, Harry Potter is garbage.
