Funny enough, this was a thread started on old Three-Seas by our newly re-active coobek.
I feel it's a thread topic with meat enough to transcribe to Second Apocalypse.
coobek started the last thread off with Kellhus vs. Satan?
I will offer Kellhus vs. Leto II (At the end of Children of Dune)?
And... elaborate ;).
kellhus vs. my depression
"you will die alone. no one loves you."
"truth shines fuck this im out"
Kellhus post meta-gnosis would wreck Leto II post transformation.
Sure you got you super heat absorbent hide, but its the god damn metagnosis. Fuck he could just teleport inside the damn thing and dismantle it from the inside.
Just keep it away from water so it doesn't do the whole exploding fish thing and Kell wins this one.
Lol just thought of the psukari, all that water.... worm wouldnt stand a chance.
Though, Leto II pre-worm when he is just running around with the fish on his body may be a more interesting tale.
Kellhus vs Uther Doul and his probabiltity sword would be a great fight on high speed film.
Dont know the reference, but sounds like the sword and Kell would end up doing a lot of the same thing
"The Scar" C. Mieville
And yes.
Bas-Lag trilogy, China Mieville - so says Great Goggle.
And yes, I'm talking Leto pre-worm, fish suit.
I'd say, if Satan gets to bring the whole Christian realm with him, where he is an immortal being in Hell, he wins - not only that, he'd probably get to munch on Kellhus' soul...
Even Satan trapped in mundane form would give him a go, though, I hazard Christian demon powers probably rate about Anagogic Daimos.
Hmm fish suit leto....
Crazy speed, self healing self defending shield.
Kell does have that MG though. We've seen some crazy offensive stuff, wonder what MG wards are like. Probably pretty difficult to break.
Then you got the whole prescient thing on both sides. Damned Atreides genes. And Duncan Idaho for a trainer helps.
Tough fight, but I think Kellhus wins. I like the metagnosis too much, and he is much smarter.
Kellhus vs. Tavore Paran
Would her otataral sword nullify the metagnosis? Or would it count as Elder sorcery? :?
I kind of imagine them each spending generations marching all over the map, fighting apparently inconsequential and irrelevant skirmishes against countless third parties as part of some grand strategy even the Gods can't follow. I can't decide whether it'd be awesome or the most boring war ever. :P
Lmao, you caught me right early morning with that one. +1 on Strange Strategies.
I'm more interested in a large, pitched battles between Kellhus and say, Andrew Wiggin
Oh Ender...
Kellhus, Ajokli :(.
Even in a 3D Battleground. Anyone subject to probable action would likely lose against Kellhus.
Kelmomas vs. Ender would be interesting though.
Quote from: MadnessKelmomas vs. Ender would be interesting though.
Tr00 dat.
A death-match of the dragonriders would also be fun - Aurang on top of Wutteät, against Eragon on his dragon.
The winner gets to sodomize the loser.
This idea has many interesting and exciting possibilities:
Achamian vs. Dumbledore
Cnaiür vs. Conan
Kellhus vs. Superman
Theliopa vs. Rainman
Aurang vs. Rapeman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rapeman)
Wow. You just blew this thread up :).
Fuck... see, I feel like if Rowling had been an adult and let the series age with its readers and characters, it might have been Bakker-esque:(click to show/hide)
So in light of how it turned out, Achamian.
Before you ask Gandalf the White over Achamian but not the Grey.
Cnaiur over Conan.
Cnaiur vs. Karsa Orlong?
Superman over Kellhus - provided that Kellhus isn't allowed to have an argument with Superman... Superman's moral principles seem easily manipulated by a Dunyain.
... Theliopa... She's an Autistic Dunyain, basically.
Lol... Aurang.
Cnaiur all the way!
I don't know who Rapeman is but Aurang is the rapeman of the worlds! so obvious.
Yeah. I think Satan and the scores of hell can only be countered by the undead 'Ze Germans' of the Wehrmacht trying to redeem themselves.
Cnaiur would eat Conan for breakfast, but Karsa Orlong is another thing ;)
I no there are many silly comic heroes and villains, but this is the firsttime I hear of the Rapeman :)
Ender Wiggin from Sci-Fi by Orson Scott Card
Intereting duel I say.
For Nogod sake please revert to the normal forum layout. I stopped coming due to enormous no--userfrendlines invasion that happend from Inchoroi machinations presumably?
Kellhus vs. Goku.
...
Goku.
Isn't Kellhus exactly like Ender Wiggin? Everyone just automatically loves him because he's the greatest person EVER, and he's also the super-smartest person ever and suffers like Christ, and he can kill anyone he wants to because he's basically invincible (because smartness=invincibility!) but it's okay that he murders because he only murders when he really empathizes with a person, and since he loved/understood them as he slaughtered them it's okay and not really murder...
When I deconstruct Ender Wiggin it really disturbs me just how much I identified with the character as a teenager. But then again, Superman or Doc Savage are basically the same thing, and can be just as disturbingly deconstructed without necessarily relying on the apocalyptic Jesus overtones of Ender.
Lol, got some OSC hate, lockesnow ;)? Empathizing with characters is a consequence of engaging narrative - I'm not necessarily crazy about my sanity but I do wonder at my literary identifications.
coobek, my many apologizes to you :(. There's a notice Chopped/Screwed![/b] (http://secondapocalypse.forumer.com/chopped-screwed-t1279161.html) in the News/Announcements subforum under the Neuropath forum and I will be mass emailing all members after my exam period to crowdsource opinions on a new home for Second Apocalypse.
Wilshire, that would be an intense fight... I actually put Kellhus over Goku, even Super-Saiyen, but not over Gogeta.
Vs Doctor Who
I want someone else who has more faith in things to elaborate first.... >:)
The metagnosic wards and cants, for all their might, do not blow up whole planets. Predicting actions only helps if you can counter them. Hard to counter explosions big enough to make craters the size of the moon or dodge blasts of energy moving at the speed of light.
Maithanet vs. Ozymandias
Cnaiur vs. Leonidas
Kellhus vs. Karsa Orlong in a contest to see how many times they can work the word "witness" into a conversation
Damn, Wilshire, you're right. Saiyen over Sorcerer :(.
Meyna, Ozymandias, Cnaiur, Kellhus ;).
I think Cnaiur vs Persians...
Kellhus vs. Master Chief
"You call those little things haloes?"
brilliant ;D"You call those little things haloes?"
I laughed ;D
The Consult better get working on that Terminator skin-spy.
Oooh, and now you can have an extra feminist subtext as its sent to hunt down Kellhus's mother!The Consult better get working on that Terminator skin-spy.
And then use the outside as a time machine, sending back the skin-spy to kill the dunyain before they have a chance to make Kellhus, their ultimate destroyer.
A single bashrag vs Iorek Byrnison?
Kellhus vs the Raven King
In Earwa, Kellhus; in England the Raven King; on neutral territory? Raven King. RK ascended so long ago, I think he's have Kellhus beat. Maybe if Kellhus continues to pick up skills and powers though.
Go English magic! Johnathan Strange spoiler:(click to show/hide)
Why do you refer to it as English magic?
"Can a magician kill a man by magic?" Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. "I suppose a magician might," he admitted, "but a gentleman never could."
I can actually hope for TUC, but I'm sad that Jonathan Strange and The Ladies of Grace Adieu are all we have from Clarke. Have you tried the audio version? Simon Preeble readls JS and it is amazing--includes the footnotes!
