Talk:Smaug

Smaug is a Complete Monster
Figured this discussion should happen here so as to avoid an Edit War.

Smaug is a Complete Monster. His crimes include torching an inhabited city, stealing all it's wealth, and driving out the Dwarves and forcing them to scrape a miserable existence elsewhere. And then, one one measly cup (that wasn't even his to begin with) is taken from him he tries to completely destroy ANOTHER inhabited town. It's arguably even worse in the movie where he deliberately sets out to raze the town just to spite Bilbo and hurt him because he knows Bilbo cares about Dale's people.

Now granted, none of this measures up to Sauron, but here's the thing: Sauron had a level of power and resources Smaug never did, and was also active for longer. Smaug did not have the means or page-time to rack up the same bodycount. But he was as bad as he possibly could be.

Smaug is a Complete Monster. No ifs, ands. or buts.
