This or That? v3.1

[Nagash]

I'm gonna say Piranha plant either way, cuz Sarlacc Pit has always terrified me.

Smaug or the Flame of Udûn (Balrog) ?

 

[Saigonnus]

The Balrog has always impressed me more. It nearly takes Gandalf's life to slay it.

Glamdring or Orcrist?

Orcrist looks cooler.

Mango juice or pineapple juice?

 

[Reaver]

Mango juice.


Better movie trilogy:

LotR or The Hobbit?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Obviously the trilogy that can more easily convert to a video game is the better one by far:

What will be Legolas' new CGI power next time he's inserted in a movie:

• bullet-time evasion of deadly projectiles, like Neo in the Matrix
  -or-
• flipping through the air several times while dueling against a skilled swordsman, like CGI Yoda did in Episode 2?

 

[Reaver]

Bullet time evasion for sure. I'm sure that Legolas will be in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie.



Most far-fetched character insertion into The Hobbit:

Legolas or Tauriel?

 

[Saigonnus]

Tauriel is a smidge more jarring than Legolas in my opinion.

Cheesiest movie... Army of Darkness or The Princess Bride?

Army of darkness for sure. Cheesy, to me, carries a bad connotation and The Princess Bride is all awesome.

Would you rather be a Wizard from Abercrombie's world or an Elf from Tolkien's?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

I'd rather be Legolas. (Scroll up four posts for reason.) If I can't be him, wizard.

How do you prefer your orcs to be born, forged from molten rock or when a mommy orc and a daddy orc fall in love…?

 

[Reaver]

The orc version of the birds and bees. I wonder what that would be? Cyclapes[SUP]tm[/SUP] and bladefrogs[SUP]tm [/SUP]?



And thus the segue into my question:

Cyclapes[SUP]tm [/SUP]or bladefrogs[SUP]tm [/SUP]?

 

[Trick]

I'm gonna go with bladefrogs. Not sure what they are but Cyclapes sound like they would eat me on sight.

Would you rather write many books with mid-grade success over and past a lifetime

or

write one book or short series so popular that it gets a movie deal and merchandising and everything but fades out in less than a decade?

 

[Reaver]

I'll go with the one that makes me rich beyond the dreams of avarice.



Lemons or limes?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

When life hands you a lemon, you make lemonade. So there's my answer...

...and my question: what do you do when life hands you a lime? Make a stiff drink or hold out until life hands you a tastier fruit?

BONUS: what does your answer mean metaphorically?

 

[Reaver]

An excellent question. For me the answer is make a stiff drink. But I fancy myself a pragmatist / realist and see the world through glasses with no lenses.

Bonus Answer: I guess metaphorically speaking, my answer means that I take life as it comes and deal with it accordingly.


Are you an optimist, a pessimist or a realist?

 

[Gryphos]

What exactly does realist even mean? Because all the self-proclaimed realists I've ever come across were 3edgy5me. If realist simply means seeing the world how it is, I do believe I have eyes, and ears, and I think the world is (mostly) pretty neat. I guess I'm an optimist and a realist.

Be too hot or too cold?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

After the winter we had, I'm looking forward to being in hot, humid Florida in mid-August. Bring it on, tropical heat. I lived in Kong Kong and took sweat-soaked three-hour walks.

I also skied in below-zero weather, so I know both extremes well.



Hang out with cool people or hang out with warm people?

 

[Reaver]

I lived in Kong Kong and took sweat-soaked three-hour walks.
Hang out with cool people or hang out with warm people?

Kong Kong? I didn't know you lived in Malaysia. Just kidding.... I know what you meant to type Speed Racer.

I have to hang out with the cool people. It suits me.



Are you

Mostly serious, mostly silly or somewhere in the middle?

 

[Saigonnus]

It may not seem like it here, but mostly silly is me... I am just too vulgar to show my true self. ;-)

So... Nerd, Geek or Dork?

Geek.
Here an an open ended question...
Hero or villain?

 

[Saigonnus]

Villains... I enjoy reading about their motivations.

If you could travel through time in only one direction... Would you choose the past or the future?
