Nazgul Interesting 1 on 1's

In this thread i would like to see my fellow entmooters ideas on the what the greatest one-on-one battle would be.

I myself would like to see Sauron and Gothmog lord of the Balrogs go at it. I reckon Gothmog would show that 'lord of the rings' the meaning of pain.

Well, although we seem to be talking about what didn't happen, I don't think you can top what did, and that would be the one on one between Morgoth and Fingolfin. Although Fingolfin died, it was awesome. Hard to beat that one.

Actually, Fëanor vs Morgoth would probably be better (IMO, of course).

The two arch-enemies, face to face. Fëanor, anger flashing in his eyes, fire burning within. Morgoth, mightiest in Arda, his eyes revealing nothing. The hammer strikes - but hits thin air. Fëanor's sword flashes through the air...Morgoth's left hand falls lifeless to the ground.

I agree that it is Fingolfin versus Morgoth. I especially liked the description of Fingolfin going to this fight as well.

P.S. Fingolfin would so kick Feanor's ass

None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin

What about Smaug versus Shelob?
Or even better - Glaurung versus Ungoliant. That would be an interesting and fierce one-on-one.

I think Tom Bombadil versus Saruman would be an interesting encounter. All I can imagine is Saruman casting his spells and Tom countering with all his musical songs and enchantments.

Yes indeed Glaurung and Ungoliant would be awesome. Does anybody know if the Spider can withstand fire??
Beacause the Balrogs whipped her with their fire whips and she ran away.

Lobelia vs. Rosie?
Or Arwen vs. Eowyn (mud wrestling) Of course, to make it a contest Eowyn gets one hand tied behind her back.


Oh, all right, Huan vs. Glaurung.

i always though gandalf vs. the witch-king would have been cool (the one that didn't quite happen)

i'll put in a vote for fëanor vs. anyone too... seeing that he was the one who basically made the first weapons for the elves

Feanor was cool but he was foolhardy. He ran into a bloody crowd of Balrogs and was rushed. But it was sad for him to be taken out of the story so soon.

Hey Dunedain, I see Falagar has edited his original post from calling you goldilocks, to half brother. Now if those aren't fighten words, I don't know what is.

No Númenorean would ever beat an Elda.

I remembered that Fingolfin wasn't the blondie. Shall we test wether or no thy tongue (or stick) is faster than my sword?
