Gen. Iroh.vs.Aragorn

[Gen.Mannerheim]

Who's better?, personally I don't think Aragorn could have breached Ba Sing Se's outer wall.

Bah, I miss voted. I have little idea what this Iroh character did, but I'd give it to him. Aragorn's plan seems to have hinged upon 'we'll all march to certain doom unless two midgets can successfully navigate treacherous mountain passes, and hundreds of kilometers of enemy territory.' That is a terrible plan.

I'm going to have to vote on franchise lines for this one.

Yeah, but his plan actually succeeded, unlike Iroh's.

 

[History_Buff]

Doesn't mean it wasn't a terrible plan.

 

[Lord Baal]

It was a terrible movie though.

Iroh's plan succeeded, he just didn't have the personal determination to carry it through to capturing the city itself.

The answer is always going to be Iroh, but are we talking film Aragorn here or book Aragorn?

 

[Masada]

Which Iroh are we talking about?

 

[sophie]

Which Iroh are we talking about?

I would assume Iroh son of Azulon as Iroh grandson of Zuko is perhaps the most incompetent general in the entire United Forces Army

 

[Crezth]

Doesn't mean it wasn't a terrible plan.

How would we know?

 

[Yeekim]

The real question is, who was better: real-life Mannerheim or movie Mannerheim?
