Ask Axelius Anything* (AKA Sanderson vs. Tolkien Duel)

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Actually. 

Huan can't be slain by anything but the greatest wolf ever to live. 

Which I'm pretty sure Vin isn't. 

And a Brandon vs. Tolkien brawl goes to Tolkien, because only manly men smoke actual pipes, and that means Tolkien is the manliest of men.

Despite the fact that he's dead. 

But manliness wins brawls, so...

And Vin can't die until she defeats Ruin.

But also you don't need to slay something to win a fight.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

But we're talking about 'to the death' Pokemon battles. Also, I'm pretty certain that Vin's prophesy isn't 'spiritually binding' like Huan's. Also, what sort of monster would kill a dog?

Vin. She already has killed a dog to give a body to TenSoon.

Vin punched a giant wolf to unconsciousness. Vin is the manliest of all, and as has been confirmed.

Therefore Vin wins.
QED.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Incorrect. Vin could just go die compared to an actual wolf. And she would eventually run out of metals fighting Huan, which would mean that she would die. 

Vin is not manly, just meh. The only manly person in Mistborn is Kelsier, 'cause he won a brawl with an Inquisitor.

Ham is extremely manly! Everybody knows philosophers are automatically the manliest of men.

[Voidus]

Vin burned the mists and killed multiple inquisitors then tore down a building with her mind.
Vin wins.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Vin still rules. 

This is my AMA, freaking Kelsier make the rules.

Agreed.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

I'd upvote that, but I spent all twenty on Ark for no reason. 

[Voidus]

Actually a thought: If we're basing this off of pokemon then the fight is simply to unconsciousness, Vin has shown to be amply capable of knocking out a giant wold, Vin wins.
:D

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Noooooooooooope. Vin would run out of metals, then Huan could kill her easily. 

[Voidus]

So then she burns the mists instead and vaporizes him under the force of a steelpush.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

There aren't any Invested mists outside of Scadrial.

[Voidus]

There are if you take them outside Scadrial.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

But the only things we're giving Vin are her metals, so... yeah.

So if you severely hamper Vin and restrict what she can bring then Huan maybe wins? Not a really convincing argument. But also, no. Vin still wins. Because Vin is awesome and rule of cool trumps your logic.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Rule of Cool trumps Vin, then. The underdog always wins in a true Rule of Cool battle, which is probably actually Huan, since... you know...

I shouldn't make jokes. 

Anyway, how on earth do you always reply so fast? I'll wait like three seconds and then a pop-up shows up on my computer: "Voidus quoted you in a topic..." 

Are you only on when I'm awake or something? Because that would be creepy. Do you cameras in my house to show when I wake up?

I gain sustenance from banning spambots. I have no need for sleep.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Ah. I see. 

Also, what is with your obsession with proving yourself correct about this here duel? 

[Voidus]

I value objective truth and assume others do too, so when I state that Vin is objectively the best character and therefore wins all fights and other people don't understand that, I feel that I should explain until they do.
 

Spoiler

Serious note: I just enjoy talking about stuff back and forth like this, I've always enjoyed philosophy and debate but most topics that people are available to debate become far too heated or people devolve into insults. Arguing over fictional characters is nice because there's emotional investment but no one gets that upset about it, or that angry that they feel the need to resort to namecalling or personal attacks.
If it's upsetting to you then I'd stop, but I was assuming based on the title of this thread that you similarly enjoyed that kind of thing.

 

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Nothing upsets me (other than Kell dying). Believe me. 

And I was actually trying to push you out of the name-calling, insult-throwing state of debate earlier.

Although Eru/The Valar are unable to physically partake in this fight, are they able to revive Gandalf whenever he “dies”?

Eh,  I think then the fight starts to break down, because then the shards should get to revive people as well, and with TLR in play, I don't think that's going to go the best.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

I am still of the opinion that Tolkien wins the duel, because of Ungoliant, the Dragons, and Tom Bombadil!
