All right, we got some good discussion going last time, so let's go for another fantasy fight. At the risk of bouncing off a couple fourth walls here: Who would win in a fight? Adolf Hitler or Voldemort. No weapons, no lackeys, no magic.
Go!

Date: 2010-02-18 07:50 pm (UTC)Assuming Voldie isn't a complete failure in a fist fight, anyway.
one character with pop culture AND roundworld history knowledge. this is sad.
Date: 2010-02-18 07:54 pm (UTC)Hitler. He might be short and a snivelling little fascist, but:
a) he was a soldier
b) Voldemort has, what, 1/7th of a soul? And is all pale and icky.
c) you've still got to be kind of tough to be a fascist. It's the putches.
d) Voldemort would only know how to fight with his magic and wouldn't know how to throw a punch.
e) did you see kid Voldemort in those films? He was a weed. I doubt adult Voldemort was much better.

Date: 2010-02-18 08:08 pm (UTC)Besides, I think my point about Voldemort being pretty useless without magic still stands.
Creed has so read HP. Boring missions get boring okay?
Date: 2010-02-18 08:09 pm (UTC)Voldemort's entire defence depended on his magic, instead of physical prowess.
Hitler, however, knew at least some hand-to-hand, not to mention he was a soldier, and didn't depend on just his bodyguards at the end. He could handle himself in a fist fight - came from being homeless on the streets.
Voldemort's probably got a glass jaw too.

Date: 2010-02-18 08:14 pm (UTC)And I dunno about that, he certainly bloody turned one on Stalin, didn't he? Alright, Stalin kinda-fucking-had the last word, but I bet you anything he shat himself when Hitler went 'actually, no, I'll have the REST of Poland.'

Date: 2010-02-18 08:19 pm (UTC)And to be fair Voldemort's physical abilities in his new body were never put to the full test. If you want to talk Pre-Goblet of fire, then yeah, I'd argue he was fucked. But that entire story was about him building a new body that wasn't frail. And he might have hated non-magic stuff, but he wasn't stupid and he was dead paranoid.
