Let me break it down for you. Dumbledore is pretty sweet. He runs a school where all sorts of crazy stuff goes down. He has a bird that spontaneously com-busts and a pretty sweet office. Oh, and he dies helping to save the world. No doubting, Dumbledore is pretty cool. But then there's Gandalf. First he finds the root of all evil, and lays out a plan to save the world. When he gets bugged by his buddy Saruman, he escapes by talking to a moth, so that the moth can go get his buddy, A GIANT EAGLE to fly him off the roof of Saruman's tower. Then he hooks back up with Frodo and the gang. But wait, HE DIES. It is important to note, however that he dies FIGHTING A GIANT FLAME DAEMON with a WHIP. Now, normally, dying would be a problem for most people. F*** THAT. Gandalf just shrugs it off LIKE A BOSS and comes back to finish what he started. He also decided to update his wardrobe with some pimpin' white robes. Now fully pimped out, he tells everybody the plan then dips for a minute to handle some stuff elsewhere, cause that's how Gandalf rolls. Then right when sh** starts hitting the fan at Helm's Deep, he shows up WITH A GIANT ARMY. Oh, and did I mention he shows up on the KING OF HORSES.....RIDING BAREBACK?!?!?! So, not only does Gandalf have figurative balls of steel, he undoubtedly has ACTUAL BALLS OF STEEL. Finally, after cleaning everything up at Minas Tirith, he peaces out and lets all the hobbits and humans enjoy a world PURGED OF ALL EVIL. So, to recap, Dumbledore: Mentors the younger generation, sacrifices his life for the greater good. Gandalf: Talks to animals, gives death the middle finger, constantly saves everybody else's lives, and then when it's all said and done, just leaves everyone else with all the spoils of war. Gandalf WINS.
