Just thinking about Duels

I was thinking about a couple of threads and have just finished a couple of books on the characters and am wondering who you think would prosper in a battle to the death?

Jon Shannow or Roland Deschain

For me, even with all the talent and how much i like Shannow it would be Roland hands down. I dont think there is a better warrior.

Re: Just thinking about Duels

I tried to get this discussion a while ago but nobody answered it

http://www.chronicles-network.com/fo...-deschain.html

I think I would be biased as I don't like the dark tower series so I would say Jon

Can't believe I clicked the wrong button on the poll to give it to Roland

Shannow Shannow Shannow

Re: Just thinking about Duels

Who's Jon Shannow He is another lone gunman in a fantasy world and quite similar to Roland He is from David Gemmell's Wolf in Shadow, Bloodstone and The Last Guardian living in a post apocalyptic world on a quest to find the lost city of Jerusalem.

Yeah but Roland would kick his ass! lol, I love both characters which is why it was hard to chose but you got to admit SA, even if you dont like the dark tower Roland is such a formidible character i dont think anyone could take him

Re: Just thinking about Duels

I find them similar characters and it would be close to call but I think Rolynd would beat Roland. Shannow is an unstoppable character with a sixth sense for danger I think if it came to it both of them would be wounded probably mortally . I had a discussion with the Weave who is a big fan of the Dark Tower and she thinks it would be Jon who would be victorious

not having it! (Spits dummy out)

i think for all the times we agree we may just have to disagree this time my good friend. also i dont think anyone else will post here as it seems to just be me and you. do you fancy a google fight to settle it?

Re: Just thinking about Duels

***picks up large google sign and hits Allanon over head***I win


there is surprisingly little about Shannow on the web strangely enough. I am going to persevere to read through the Dark Tower to form a more balanced opinion as I have only read the gunslinger and didn't like it but I am assured it does get better

Re: Just thinking about Duels

oh it does and im glad you'll go at it from an unbiased view, it's terrible when people just assume they're right, i think Shannow IS awesome but would just be edged out, but i may be wrong

Re: Just thinking about Duels

I love Roland (and don't know who the other character is...but even so...I love Roland!)

Saying thus...I'm going to vote for (shock) Roland!

Re: Just thinking about Duels

You need to read Wolf in Shadow by David Gemmell to understand Jon Shannow
