I am so surprised to see so many votes for Perrin. This leads me to believe that none of those voters have ever read the Dune series at all. Anyone who has read WOT and DUNE both wouldn’t ever vote for Perrin.

am so disappointed that this was the result. Anyone who has read Dune would know that this match up would be like pinning Rand Al’Thor in his prime against a kitten.

Paul has the ability to
- See every possible future and make them become so. (For WoT readers, he can control the pattern)
- He can move as fast as humanly possible (literally as fast as possible, he has perfect control of his muscle nuerons and has trained from birth to master them)
- He is one of the greatest weapon masters in a universe making his hand to hand combat already greater than Perrin.
- He has mind control, and can mind control the people who created mind control and mastered it.
- Took over the universe in his teenage years because thats what you do.
- Did i mention he is a god?

Woooow. LOL Perrin.. Sorry this outcome has made it impossible not to comment. As someone who is a long time fan of both WOT and DUNE sagas, and has read each entire series more than once.. I have to say this outcome is unreal.. in how fake and wrong it is. The only way Perrin would win is if Paul decided he was too weary of the world and it was his time to go and LET Perrin win.. the ONLY way.. and I love Perrin.. but Paul could make him explode internally with a word.. he could move so fast that Perrin couldn’t even react.. etc. and so on. so rediculous… Even if being Taveran kicked in, Perrin would be too busy suckling at Fayle’s teet to even fight.. then he’d probably trip over hopper and fall into the wolf dream on accident, realize that yes, he threw away his axe for his hammer and has no way to fight, and fail to figure out how to leave the dream while Paul slit his throat with a tooth of Shai Halud and gave his water back to the sand. I think Perrin is probably even more melancholy than Paul, and that is saying something. There just isn’t any hope for Perrin I’m sorry.. weak outcome.. Rand on the other hand.. now THAT would be a sick matchup for Paul. Carry on. =)

While I’m not happy Perrin won, I think it’s cool that it was such a narrow margin. This really does deserve a close contest.

Perrin is a good character but Paul Atreides can’t be beat.
Reasons:

Lazer guns
Mind Control
Can See the future
Is the product of centuries of specific breeding to create a god-like being
controls the known universe
and most importantly
…….Has ridden the mighty worm.

I just want to protest the listing of Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson as being credited along with Frank Herbert.

Frank Herbert created Paul, BH & KJA have done nothing but tear down his myth.

Personally, I’m proud that the votes were so close. I’ve only read The Wheel of Time and i love Perrin, but guys seriously. Perrin is a Great character but we all know that he CAN die. I mean what if the pattern spun it out that he died then the Horn brought him back at the last battle? we don’t know. But due to the fact that the votes were so close, we can see that the diehard fans are learning.

@Archon

I feel like you need to calm down a little bit. I see your points, and they are valid; but you don’t have to freak out so much. This competition is for fun. It’s a place where fans of good books can see other good books.

@ any other Wheel of Tome fan

please don’t hate me
