gandalf was a pretty loving useless wizard

gently caress you.

Gandalf was way way above all this lovely "i cast magic missile" poo poo. Gandalf's power was in guidance and leadership, and in uniting the Free Peoples of Middle Earth into defeating the Dark Lord Sauron. And yet if that wasn't enough, he was still wizardy enough to:

A) Completely pwn basically any non-Maiar enemy whenever the gently caress he wants, with a simple gesture of his staff.

When it comes to Maiar baddies, he can:

B) Go toe-to-toe with Saruman, the leader of the White Council (ok, Saruman got the upper hand and imprisoned Gandalf eventually, but that's no biggie because Gandalf can talk to moths to summon help from the Eagles, and if that's not a wizard power then I don't know what the gently caress is).

C) Slay a loving Balrog (ok it was a draw at first, but Gandalf has the Valar behind him, so he got rezzed and it was all good).

D) Spank that bitch Necromancer into revealing his true identity, which turns out to be motherfucking Sauron, and yet not even Sauron killed Gandalf (only imprisoned him in a cage in Dol Guldur).

You will be able to watch how Gandalf ultimately emerges as the victor this Christmas in the epic conclusion to Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit' trilogy in the third and final installmant - The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, to be released nationwide on 12th December 2014.

depends on which canon you follow. harry potter/lotr wizards would get loving WASTED by modern warfare contrivances, but what about a say, diablo wizards. they got like invinci-shields and can kill hundreds of humanoid looking things instantly with hand lasers and poo poo.

a) no canon; wherein a world is not meticulously detailed to dryness and death by the corpulent hand of the fumbling nerd- wherein symbols and metaphor are given reign to conduct business as they please without the interference of the encyclopedizatoin of literature- wherein wizards represent old and ancient wisdom that held dominion and stewardship over man for millennia before becoming suddenly and violently uprooted by a new wisdom, a new order beginning anywhere from 1492 to 1945 and which we are still reeling to understand- in this non-canon, in this world of analogy and symbolic representation, the wizard is subordinate to the salesman, the wand obsolesced by the rifle, the pointed hat an absurdity amongst crisp, identically-besuited Chief Executives.
