Is Gandalf like 80% Odin and 20% Christ?
>>25428596No, he's a wizard.
>>25428611And wizard is never late.
>>25428596He looks like Odin, sure. But Odin was a bit of a prick, whereas Gandalf was a good lad.
>>25428618I can see Gandald becoming a prick if he doesn't get a smoke in a long time.
Gandalf really doesn't act like Odin at all beyond using magic and giving advice. He just uses some of his imagery.
>>25428631>ends your entire bloodline because of weed withdrawals
>>25428596That would be Santa Claus
>>25428651What stories/sagas flesh out Odin/Wotan?
>>25428596it's more like 70/30
>>25428707Saga of the VolsungsProse Edda
>>25428596>Gandalf The Grey?????>Gandalf THE GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>25428945Why didn't he say this?
>>25428933>hávamál unmentionedyou people
>>25428596More like 80% Dumbledore and 20% Gandhi
>>25428948Wasn't witty enough.
>>25428985>80% DumbledoreYup. Tolkien totally ripped off JK Rowling.
>>25428983Nigga asked for sagas and stories, not poems. You'd know this if you wasn't a pseud.
>>25428596Your percentages are way off; it's closer to 50-50. He can basically be called an Odinic figure who practices OT religion.
>>25428997Was Tolkien Dr. Who?
>>25429958No but Gandalf is arguably based on Dr. Who
>>25430017I mean, that much is obvious.
>>25428596odin with christ's lack of self-interest. odin has a fucktillion tricks and he simply can't be arsed to share them, rather than merely being secretive and jealous of them, but he has christ's devotion to the mortals of his realm, as well as christ's familiarity. odin sacrificed himself to odin as a neat little loophole to level himself up. christ sacrificed himself to take the bullet for others (though of course he was also the one holding the gun). christ brought lazarus back from the dead, odin killed heros, ones whom he had aided in their development, in their prime so they can be best able to serve him in the battle at the end of the world.
>>25428993If you read LOTR it's clear Tolkien subscribes to the "sin makes you stupid" idea. Saruman basically loses IQ points over the entire course of the trilogy, culminating in his extreme sperg-out to Gandalf in "The Voice of Saruman".
>>25428596Gandalf was a notorious pussy-slayer? Who knew?
>>2542859690% Odin 10% Hermes Trismegistus
10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will
>>25430741Hahahahaha.
