Ask Axelius Anything* (AKA Sanderson vs. Tolkien Duel)
Sherlock Holmes replied to Sherlock Holmes's topic in AMAs
TLR was beaten by a Mistborn with the help of Fuzz. A wizard could destroy him. A Balrog could simply wave his whip through the chasmfiend's neck. It's the fire of death itself. Meeting adjourned. Gandalf does make fireworks. -

Sherlock Holmes replied to Sherlock Holmes's topic in AMAs
*laughs maniacally* Odium, eh? You know what what Odium does? He creates spren that can control people's emotions. You know what Melkor can do? Literally anything he feels like. He can overpower the LotR Adonalsium. Something special about this world is that the Valar aren't little bits of Ea; they're copies of parts of his power. The Shards are bits of Adonalsium, not copies. This leaves LotR with a great advantage. Also, Melkor has planning and betrayal experience as well as armies that greatly surpass the numbers of Odium's. Kaladin was a normal dude with a Shardblade when he beat the chasmfiend. Balrogs could walk up and chop a chasmfiend's head off, then mount it on their cave wall as a hunting trophy. The whips of fire are more powerful than a wild animal's scales. Allow me to remind you that we are talking about only named characters. That would leave you with a few Elantrians, some Allomancers/Feruchemists/Hemalurgists, a couple of Awakeners, and about twenty Voidbinders/Surgebinders. Let me note that Sauron is a Maiar, and he created many Rings of Power. But, Celebrimbor created three non-corrupt Rings by himself, with magical essence in them. If a mere elf has that much power, think about how much a wizard would have. I can see that arguing further is pointless, as your beliefs are obviously set in stone and you won't even consider some of the very true things I write, so I adjourn this debate. Any questions? -

Sherlock Holmes replied to Sherlock Holmes's topic in AMAs
I don't even know where to start. Everything you just wrote is ridiculous. I stand corrected on one matter. Balrogs are about twice the size of elves, though I think it's safe to assume that they can change their size. However, Feanor, the Forger of the Silmarils, was killed by one. Not impressed? You should be. He was recorded to be the greatest smith ever, and the guy who forged the path to Middle-earth as leader. Not the wisest of dudes, I'll admit, but nonetheless one of the most skilled bros of all time. Back to Balrogs. They were created by Melkor as his generals, and are demons of fire. Chasmfiends are wild animals with nice armor, and so have no chance in battle against things that have the flame-whips that can burn through anything. Second of all, you misspelled 'Sauron' as 'Sauran.' Clearly, you are well-versed in Tolkien theory. Have you read the Silmarillion, bruh? Wizards can basically do whatever they want because they are awesome. Sauron is a beast; he could probably fight 5 Mistborn at once. Ya know why? Because the Ring adapts itself to the inherent power of the being that holds it, and then magnifies that power a hundredfold. Bilbo only used it, if you can even call it that, since it can manipulate the minds of pretty much any sentient life form, to turn himself invisible a few times, while Frodo also used it for invisibility, but even once used it to see the lay of the land, you could say. Hobbits are, statistically, the lowest sentient life form of Arda. Sauron is a Maiar under the eternal service of Melkor, the literal devil, and is thus WAY WAY WAY more powerful. The only beings above the Maiar are the Valar, roughly equivalent to Shards in power, and the creator of the universe, Ea. Think about that for a moment. Really think. Melkor is also a Valar. He is, in fact, the most powerful of the Valar, and it took all of the forces of the other Valar to cast him into the Timeless Void, after they slew many Balrogs and Dragons and orcs. Notably, he did not die, as he cannot. Melkor was capable of draining the life of the Two Trees of Valinor with Ungoliant the Spider Queen, the mother of Shelob, who became known as the Queen of Darkness. Oh my god, you think that an Elantrian could beat five wizards? Yeah, yeah, just go on thinking that. I'd like to point out an event that occurred during the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli are walking through Fangorn Forest, and they think they see Saruman sitting nearby, up the side of a cliff. It's actually Gandalf, who had just become the White Wizard. Legolas shoots an arrow; Legolas never misses. This would have killed an Elantrian, because their reaction time is not faster than one of Legolas's arrows. However, Gandalf turns the arrow into literal flames just before it hits him. He doesn't have to recite an incantation, or draw silly patterns anywhere. The arrow just turns to flames by the liberty of him thinking. Tolkien never wrote exactly what wizards could do; it wasn't necessary. Any given wizard, whether it be Gandalf or Saruman or Galadriel could just think and have a beautiful deli sandwich appear in the hands of every soldier in their entire army. An Elantrian could beat five wizards? More like one wizard could beat 500 Elantrians. While the Elantrians would be painting pretty pictures in the air, the wizard could just burn them all to ashes, ashes that he or she could then summon a small burst of wind to blow away. Hypothetically, an Elantrian could draw an Aon fast enough to attack. What would they do? Explode a wizard with Aon Daa? Keep in mind, it took a Balrog to take down Gandalf. Even then, he didn't die. He fell to the bottom of the earth, and then ascended stairs that led to the highest peaks of the Misty Mountains, and then fought one of Melkor's generals, a Balrog. A Balrog! He fought and killed a Balrog after climbing what must have been a near infinite amount of stairs completely naked. After that, he was reborn as the White Wizard, courtesy of Ea, no doubt. The other wizards are all also very powerful; Galadriel was born before the First Age, her mother was Earwen, whose father was possibly Firstborn. She's probably at least ten thousand years old, almost a Maiar in power, while Elantrians just pop up all over the place once in while. -
Also, Voidus is Voidus, therefore we all exist.

What if You Were the Only Person on Earth for 24 Hours?
Sherlock Holmes replied to Draginon's topic in General Discussion
I would summon my friends from the sixth dimension and party all day, all across the world, since one of them has a century or so of piloting experience. Also, I would hack Patrick Rothfuss's computer and read Doors of Stone. -

Tena scratched between Fangblade's ears with one hand, and the Labrador Retriever, now named Bud, pushed at her other hand with his nose. She set down her book and scratched Bud's chin. His tail wagged furiously. "I do not understand why he gets scratched in better places than I do," Fangblade said grumpily. Tena rolled her eyes and scratched his chin too. 15 years had passed since the War for the Alleycity, but Tena still looked 29, having bought a great deal of Breath on Nalthis. Her mental faculties weren't screwed up (yet), and the constant rage and bloodlust she'd felt after the War had faded down nicely. She missed Mace's shenanigans and Soul's insanity, but that had faded as well. She barely thought about them anymore. Yep, life was good.

My favorite chapter of the Silmarillion is the Beren one. @King Cole, Balrogs are the literal devil's generals. Have you ever seen the picture of a Balrog in the 2nd Edition of The Fellowship of the Ring? No? That's what I thought. Balrogs are to chasmfiends as humans are to elves. I know Brandon makes Radiants sound like they're invincible, but they're not. If Kaladin got hit by a dragon's fire, he'd be incinerated. Because dragons. Also, the Eagles have power beyond that of mortals. They were created with about the same amount of power as Ents, which would have an equal equivalent of Investiture as Nightblood has. The Valar would be equal to the Shards, no question to it. Melkor and Sauron (if he possessed the Ring of Power) could take out Odium and Ruin, while the other Valar, being more capable of teamwork than Shards, could obliterate the other Shards. Once again, Ea created the entire universe. He could sing a quick sonata and destroy TLR and Harmony with a bare flexing of his pinky finger. Also, the Shards have a notable problem, that of being isolated and often incapable of working together. Melkor, Sauron, the Balrogs, the Ringwaiths, the Dragons, and an army of, say, 500 thousand orcs could work on half of the problem, while Ea, the rest of the Valar, the Maiar, the Ents, the Eagles, Elves, Dwarves, Men, Hobbits, etc. could work on the other half. Try me. The comment wars have begun. -
Yeah, that's what I've heard too.

*Repeats laughter* Welp, you clearly have never read the Silmarillion. Ea created the entire universe. Adonalsium created maybe 20 planets, at most. And to what you said about chasmfiends, hahaha. Balrogs are Melkor's generals, while chasmfiends are literally just wild animals. Dragons and giants eagles would have superior fliers and fighters as compared to Knights Radiant. Keep in mind that we're talking about the characters whose names have been explicitly stated. On Tolkien's side, we have an army of massive, fire-breathing dragons and frickin' Tom Bombadil, and on Sanderson's side we have a few 3rd Ideal Knights Radiant that would be burnt to a crisp within a second of encountering a dragon, and four Mistborn. The Witch-king of Angmar could probably kill a Bondsmith spren while Ea could destroy everything else with a flick of his fingers. Anyway, the Shards are all little bits of Adonalsium and half of them are already Splintered. Fight that logic. -
The guns fired. The Alleycity was hit. Stuff started exploding. Tena took the Perpendicularity to Scadrial, having seen what she safely could.

The first Redwall book's main antagonist is Cluny the Scourge. Also, I agree that German Shepherds are the best dogs ever, though you may have said that jokingly. If you have... bad things will happen.

Dr. Device was about to be loosed. Somehow, the technology of the Alleyverse had been advanced to Ender's Game-esque stuff.

I agree that Simmon will be the poet Kvothe kills, for the record. And I also think that Newarre is close to the Stormwal Mountains in Vintas, and that (King) Ambrose and the Maer are fighting over supremecy of Vintas, or that the royal line is gone right down to the Maer and he is fighting a rebellion that Kvothe started with the Chandrian. My question is: How do you think Kvothe unlocks the Four-plated Door? And who is the princess he stole from the sleeping barrow king? I personally think that it's Auri.

Apollyon, why do like the way Ene's palm tastes?

Archer, here are some questions for you: 1. Who created the Alleyverse PM? 2. Which Redwall book is your favorite? 3. Do you live on a farm? 4. What kind of dog is your favorite? 5. Cluny the Scourge or Tsarmina? 6. Kaladin or Shallan? 7. Have you read LotR and/or the Silmarillion? 8. Cats or dogs? 9. If you had to be in either the Ghostbloods or the DA, which one would you pick? 10. What is your quest?! 11. What is your favorite movie?

*Laughs incredulously for several hours before calming down enough to answer* Tolkien, obviously. He has Ea, creator of the universe, all of the Maiar and Ainur, plus the giant eagles, Tom Bombadil, Ents, and the Wizards (some of which are the Maiar). What's a few spren-enhanced Knights Radiant and Shards next to that? God-to-god, Adonalsium would shrivel up and die under the power of Ea and his Ainur. -

Rules for Surviving a Fantasy World
Sherlock Holmes replied to Aon Ati's topic in General Discussion
191. Pirates can be jolly good fun half the time, and the other half they aren't. 192. Only stay away from dark alleys if the guy in the alley is offering you cookies, but doesn't specify what's in them. 193. Keep your back to a wall when you're searching a dark room. Or any room. 194. Don't trust artificial life forms. -

"Then what is he questioning this time?" Narrator Axel asked snarkily. "Perhaps it's the ole," Axel looked around suspiciously, "Narrator's Wrath." He rolled up into a small bouncy ball and bounced his way into the massive horde of puppies, where the other narrators probably couldn't hurt him.- 111830 replies

Sherlock Holmes replied to ElephantEarwax's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
A puppy from several pages ago peeked around the corner of a building, then nodded to the other several trillion puppies behind him, signalling for them to attack. "NOOO!" Narrator Axel cried, and Pushed the puppies back by their collars, using Allomancy. Tena fell out of the sky and skid to her knees AGAIN, buried almost instantly by licking and squirming puppies.- 111830 replies

Tena was mighty confused by what all her comrades and enemies were doing below. They were about to nuked, and they thought that the Canton could save them? The Worldspike was probably safe, which was good, as the entire planet would collapse without it. Tena shook her head. They were all going to die.
