Roland taking down Tull single-handedly.

The only time we get to see Roland's true gunslinging potential.

So are all the winners going to be collected for a final vote Sarah?

Meaning I can vote in this one too?

Because the naked shootout is the best no matter what. :rock:

Because theyre naked or because you like the fighting?

Matt

Great poll Sarah. :thumbsup: I look fwd to seeing how it develops.
I voted for Roland vs. Cort. It was, afterall, the day Roland became a Gunslinger. :shoot:

ps. I am also a big fan of the depopulation of Tull.

For this poll I chose "Pulling Jake through the Door". Hard choice 'cause there are so many great fight scenes.

I know it was so hard for me to choose between cort and roland and roland and tull.

Everyone can vote in all the polls.

Everyone can vote in all the polls.

Well thats good to know...:rolleyes: was there any question otherwise?

Reallllly tough decision between Jake's drawing and this one but...
I chose Roland saving Jake from the Tick-Tock Man.
I think because I like that Oy was there and was instrumental in the rescue as well. Jake is so badass in this scene as well (even if he doesn't actually kill him).

Matt
05-07-2008, 05:37 PM
yes, matt asked.

:P


Thats cause Matt's a goober-head. ;)

I was actually wondering if I already voted for the naked fight as my most favorite, is there any reason to vote here?

Or will all the polls culminate into a battle royal for the top five or something?

Even though I was just vote for "big guns in the bathroom" again. :rock:

The Dixie Pig is my favorite fight scene in the saga.

Roland vs Tull. Hands down.

This was a great idea for a poll, but, geez it's tough.

I had to pick the fight with Roland and Cort since, to me, that is what got the whole story rolling.

So...which did you vote for? [/glare]


Roland vs Tull. Hands down.

Yup :wub:

I voted for the scene in Tull.

Ugh. I'm with you, Maerlyn, I was torn between the fight with Cort or the showdown in Tull.

I had to go with Cort, though, because a) it was sneaky as hell, using David as a weapon and b) it was a significant rite of passage, and Roland was less experienced as a gunslinger. Tough call.

sarah
05-07-2008, 09:30 PM
Daggers, that is exactly how I felt. Seriously, David was a sneaky move and it showed us what type of person Roland was. It gave us some early insight on what kind of choices he was going to possibly make.

Daghain
05-07-2008, 09:32 PM
Absolutely. The fight with Cort was his first rite of passage; the fact that he thought to use David as a weapon alluded to his resourcefulness and his ruthless need to win at all costs.

Tull showed us his actual strength and skill, but didn't have the same power for me. By this time he was older and more experienced, and you would kind of expect him to be able to take down a whole town on his own. :)

It's so damn hard to choose but my heart goes to "Roland saving Jake from the Tick-tock-man". It was really complex.

Mort

There's so many awesome fight scenes its hard to choose. There's going to a few heated debates about this poll and the others. Cant wait.

Tull as how many can kill a town in one go and still walk out alive. Its also one of the most vivid sections of the entire saga. Mort at the Pharmacy/Subway was a close second for me as well.

For a fight (which is the poll) - Cort.
For a slaughterhouse - Tull.

I voted for the Mort scene.

Mort facing Detta and the invader Roland, then getting squashed by that fabled A train...that's some serious karma. :)

How can get Tull so many votes? All the others were much deeper and more exciting. They were richer.

Wuducynn
05-09-2008, 02:19 PM
The fight scene of Tull was amazing, wiping out an entire town? Yeah, I can see why its getting the votes it is.

I knew there was a reason why I don't totally hate you :couple:

Matt
05-09-2008, 02:50 PM
The fight with Cort is catching up. Better by far imo.

Using a hawk?!!??

C'mon, that's gotta account for something. :rock:

Wuducynn
05-09-2008, 02:50 PM
Well you hate me mostly and thats the important thing.

Absolutely. The Mort part, for example. It had a lot of stuff, something King is so good at - secondary characters' lives, insights into their souls, and into the very nature of the two worlds and the difference between them; all basic notions of gunslinging, and a very detailed report on how Roland's mind and reflexes work in battle. That scene was for me seminal for all future battle scenes, and for most of the rest, too.

The Scene with mort is the best fight scene

i also think that was the first time the rose or beam helped save rolands life.

This was a very hard poll. I was torn between, Cort, Tull and tick tock man. I voted for The fight with Cort because that was where Roland won his rite of passage and started to earn his gunslinger status.
