Ender or Bean?

Why?


I vote Ender, because he accomplished everything he did while not having his key turned. Imagine if he did?

No spoilers please, I have only read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow.

Shouldn't this be on the other side?

indeed it should be. Also any decisions I would make would naturally come from the sequels, since then they have developed more as human beings than when they were young children.

I say Dink is cooler! (Ender and Bean both carry too much baggage)

While Bean had a key artificially turned, Ender's genetics clearly were of importance as well. Just because one's genetic code was artificial and the other was "natural", why would that change the coolness factor? Both got their smarts based on no action or merit of their own.

Does it matter?

As for the OP, it really is a tough choice for me. I felt a very personal connection with both characters, and they both kick ass in their own ways.

Tonight I say Ender. Tomorrow, maybe Bean.

Enough to point out that it better belongs on the other side? I'd say so.

I'd say Ender, but that is based mainly on his maneuvering in "Exile", not that Bean didn't do some great maneuvering in the shadow series. For that matter I like Han, they scene where he takes power is great.

Why, though? I don't think it matters at all.

Because sometimes the otherside is so dead that really every topic that is posted there is a good thing. While it makes no difference to the convo on which side we discuss, I always find it sad when the the most recent post over there is almost a week old.
