Talk:Essay: Good vs. Evil

Here is my comment- I agree with you on the fact that the heros always win but on the other hand you wouldn't want a villain to be victorious! I mean what kind of story would that be? every writer has their own style and I think its unfair that you judge Brian by another writer. That is my input on the subject. —This unsigned comment was added by 71.3.96.167 (talk • contribs) 14:44, 9 October 200. Please sign your posts with ~~~~!

I agree that it would be most unpleasant if the villain ultimately won, but you wouldn't have to end a story that way. You could have the hero lose early on in the story, hone his/her fighting skills, and make a comeback. I don't really think this would diminish how enjoyable the story would be. It just seems slightly improbable that none of the villains have the skill to win a single fight against any hero. And realism is what all writers should strive for...

Hmm..

You could be right, but it seems that most of the heroes luckily get a good 200 pages to hone their fighting skills. In Triss, for example, Trisscar was probably up every night practicing with some stick or something, but it's so obvious BJ just didn't mention it. --Martin II File:For MArtin2 copy.jpgYou dare challenge me? 13:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Also, Cluny beat Matthias in a duel. Matthais ran away and up the stairs then dropped the bell on him, Cluny was winning at the time. --Martin II File:For MArtin2 copy.jpgYou dare challenge me? 13:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

That's not necessarily all true. And consider the fight between Brocktree and Ungatt. It was evenly matched, only a slip had the outcome. In a few cases, there was a "Stormtrooper Attack" Where a few beasts wiped out a ton, but this doesn't happen too often-Segalia Riverstorm, Archer Ottermaid Warrioress File:Segalia.png ^{Eph. 6:10}
