Talk:J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin/@comment-26498708-20160502170915/@comment-15589301-20160502190928

Fair enough

I certainly wouldn't say any fan made battle-makers would do it better. At the very least, I feel that it doesn't stand out with bad quality in relation to others. As someone who doesn't really care too much for either universe, it's good, but I can see why big fans would feel otherwise. I just think a lot of it has to do with expectations. Aafterall, it's a 3 minute battle where they actually have to diss each other. They can't spend the majority of that discussing the details of each other's work. It has to be quick, which rather diminishes the chance that they would do that.

On a side note, I liked the Led Zeppelin line personally; I thought it was a pretty clever counter-argument to Martin's claim that he is rockn'roll where Tolkien actually inspired the songs of a rock band. Again, it comes down to opinions I guess :P
