Little Help

[avamclean]

Okay, so I’m finally delving back into the ‘This is War’ ‘verse and I have a question for the f-list. If it came to a knock-down, drag-out, no powers held back fight between Azazel (the Yellow Eyed Demon) and Willow who would come out the victor?

 

I mean this a discussion. No bashing on Willow or Azazel. I want opinions on their abilities, not their actions.

Well, I have faith in humans *grin*
Now, it´s been a long time since I really watched the show and I am also behind in the comic season 8, so please forgive if I´m lacking in references.

Willow is one of earths most powerful Wicca, and as far as I know they draw power mainly from earth and themselves, also for most stuff (teleportation...) she doesn´t need an extra boost anymore (comics). You are right in that she harnessed the power of objects/people, but at least in the end it was I think so the First could not corrupt her use of magic. Which, okay would be a weak point against Azazel. That brings me to the use of christian stuff in both shows, and I think it´s much more pronounced in SPN and more "real"...that would mean that Az is Satan is Lucifer, because the stuff I found on the subject is that through arabic/hebrew/biblical canon those are just diff names for one entity. Which would make season 4 reaaaaally interesting.

But even if he is "just" one of the fallen angels, he´s still not corporeal and in buffy cannon that means he´s not at full power, again with the manipulation, children recruiting and so on. But I would also say he is, despite the Colt, unkillable. You just can´t kill an angel, fallen or not, and I don´t care what Castiel says!
As for the banishing: what about "the lies my parents told me", didnt she open up a portal even though the powers didn´t want her to?! and I´m afraid mainly ´cause of the comics.

And in the end hell is just another dimension and nobody would really care if she had to drain energy from them if Azazel would be gone, I guess. But it would certainly be one hell of a fight!!

Willow can’t be one of the earth’s most powerful Wicca. Wicca is a religion, a way of thinking and when she slit that deer’s throat to bring Buffy back from the dead she would have ‘shat’ all over her religion. To take a life, any life, is wrong within the Wiccan community. Willow’s powers in the comics are absurd. Hence why I refer to them as crap’tastic.

Wow, we definitely have completely non-meshable views of SPN. So I’m not going to bother voicing my opinion on those.
