FFXIV Bahamut vs. WoW Deathwing - Who Wins?

[SkyeWindbinder]

Even against great hair & JRPG pretty boy good looks, The Doctor wins. After 35 years worth of him winning with only his razor sharp wit, a few cheeky quips and a sonic screwdriver, you would think people would know this....

Pfft, Dr. Who Schmoo. All Thancred needs is a dagger and you're toast. XD

It's weird how bent out of shape some people are getting over a completely hypothetical topic. It's rather sad how a few are taking such a condescending tone with others about it

I couldn't agree more. This image was created as a piece of humor, and people are picking it apart like a thesis.

We all know neither dragon completely destroyed either world. But, as Preypacer pointed out, I think most would have to agree that Bahamut came a whole lot closer than Deathwing ever did.

Deathwing One of the five dragon aspects and leader of the black dragonflight (though not leader over all dragons, as that falls to the dragon queen Alexstrasza the Life-Binder). Formerly Neltharion the Earth-Warder, charged with watching as the world of Azeroth changed and maintaining the boundaries and lines of delineation between the races so that none would fall to war over land. Madness and corruption from the Old Gods eventually twisted and changed him into Deathwing the Destroyer, the Aspect of Death. His explosive escape from Deepholm in an event called The Shattering creates earthquakes, chasms, tidal waves, and other natural disasters in certain areas of the world. He breathes fire across the land, and leaves his mark on parts of a few cities. But that is really the extent of his destruction of Azeroth.

Bahamut The king and superior of all dragons. It takes an ancient prison forged of both magic and machine to keep him at bay. This prison is Dalamud, which Eorzeans had believed to be the lesser moon, which is a testament to his massive size. Breaking free of the weakened structure and enraged after aeons of duress, Bahamut immediately starts to unleash his wrath upon the realm. Not only in the form of flame, but also of fiery shrapnel from pieces of the 'moon' that begin to plummet to the ground and destroy entire landscapes. The Circle of Knowing, with help from The Twelve Gods and Goddesses, attempt to reforge the prison but are unable. The spell is broken before it can be resealed. The only recourse is for Louisioux to teleport our brave adventures through time and space to safety, and does so just before Bahamut releases his most devastating attack, Mega-Flare. Bahamut's fury leaves entire areas unrecognizable (as evidenced in official ARR screenshots - nothing quite looks the same as it did in 1.0). Half the Twelveswood was laid to waste (the black shroud is definitely not so shroudy in the new screenshots). In fact, it's said that the land shouldn't be as lush and green as it is after only five years, but we'll get an explanation of that later.

Seriously, no reason to get bent out of shape from some internet humor.

Well after the resolving of the Superman vs Goku argument, the internet needs SOMETHING to fill the message boards with..

Saw this thread on the WoW forums, Looks like the majority of people agree that Bahamut would win. What do you guys think?

None, the one you are talking about:



And they can have babies:

Consolation prizes?
o.0

You don't actually have to kill him to get the prize, you fight him until he hit's 1hp. After which he lifts off and the loot is dropped.

As for the versus debate, Bahamut. Case closed... Bahamut may have a physical representation, but is not really mortal, more like energy/aether given a form. While Deathwing can and does bleed.

Nature finds a way! They would have little WoW-cloned BahaWings!

Both Deathwing and Bahamut are male, not sure what world you live in... but you can't just rub 2 sticks together and hope for an egg. In lore Deathwing does have offspring, but it does imply they were with another dragon aspect which was female.
