Ultimate Landmark Wars!!

Trollheart · 06-02-2015, 04:24 PM

Batty was lamenting a few days ago about how none of the non-music "Wars" threads were surviving, so let's try this one, but before I do: it occurs to me that I may have been doing these threads wrong. I've been pitting two, say, songs against each other, getting a winner and moving on with two more songs, whereas I think it's meant to work like this:

Song A faces off against Song B. Song A wins. Song A is then pitted against Song C. Song A wins again. Song A is pitted against Song D. Song D wins. Now Song D is pitted against Song E... and so on.

Anyway, whatever the truth, this is how this one is gonna go. So whichever landmark wins this round will face the next challenger, but one only, to see which is the better survivor.

So, vote for your favourite!

Might have expected a Brit not to vote for the French!

I guess all the 'Muricans will make sure La Canyon Grande wins. Bloody world police!

Eiffel Tower = 0
Grand Canyon = 1

Grand canyon for sure because, y'know, f*ck the French.

Canyon.

Anything man-made will always lose to natural wonders as far as I'm concerned.

Grand Canyon all the way.

The Eiffel Tower is cool and all, but it isn't grand.

Grand Canyon all the way.

Eiffel Tower loses it by a huge margin! 5-1 to the States!

So, who wants to take on the Grand Canyon then? Anyone up for it?

Okay, let's see the Grand Canyon beat the peaks of Machu Picchu.

Oooh! Good one! That's gotta get my vote!

Grand Canyon - 0
Machu wotsit - 1
