Game Of Thrones Vs. Lord of The Rings: 12 Epic Deathmatches We Want To See

11. Galadriel Vs. Melisandre

Now skipping from one end of the scale to the other, with Galadriel and Melisandre far more interested in the power of the mind over sheer brawn. Both are exceptionally creepy in both series' and a clash between the pair would see the ultimate 'cryptic quote off' of all time.

Galadriel was all about the mind in her LOTR appearances, not harming anybody greatly, but she had the immense power to break weak men down with only her thoughts. You get the feeling that she's capable of so much more than what was demonstrated, after all, she has a ring in her possession.

Melisandre is a far more inconsistent prospect. Her shadow-birth assassin was immense, and worthy of winning any fight, but it seems like she has to invest a lot into each of her schemes to kill an individual. Royal blood isn't exactly flowing throughout the land, you know?

For this reason, Galadriel takes the victory. She's in total control, whereas Melisandre clearly made a fatal error of judgement in the Stannis saga. She's powerful, but the Red Priestess ain't no Lady of Light.

Result: Galadriel Wins
