I got to thinking about this last night before going to sleep. Who would win a battle/fight: Stewie or Eric, and why? My vote is for Stewie, just because he has more tools than Eric. But Eric has turned people's parents into chilie, so he's more diabolical. And smarter. So it's the best of both worlds: South Park and Family Guy. Who would win this battle/fight? Discuss.
Stewie is smarter, but Cartman is much more cunning and plain sadistic. Stewie preys on the physical, while Cartman goes after the psychological. That said, I've been a Cartman fan longer, so.... It'd be fun to see, regardless.
It's tough to call. Both of them have shown flashes of diabolical genius and the ability to invent fantastic devices (Cartman's Hippy Drill comes to mind, though Stewie's far more consistent with his high-tech gadgetry), but both still have immaturity to deal with. I'd say it would largely depend on what they were fighting over, and why. When Cartman wants something, he really, really, wants something. I can tell you this much, though. Kenny would wind up collateral damage.
Stewie embodies the will to power of Nietzsche as admired by Hitler - he has rejected his mother and has created a new internal orthodoxy, Cartman has the organic power mandate derived from the proletariat (mother Russia) as used by Lenin and subverted by Stalin. Cartman wins because he is less driven by principle and can always cry to his mom.
neither, they would join forces and dominate the world. i for one embrace and welcome with open arms our new oddly shaped and nasally voiced overlords.
Woah... I'm still mentally digesting this post - will be back to on this when I figure out the philosophy - then decide if I agree with it or not?! kestrou PS - That staedtler dude don't post much, but I've decided to pay attention when he does!
