This is topic Achilles would eat Bean and Ender and spit them back out only to eat them again. in forum Discussions About Orson Scott Card at Hatrack River Forum.
Achilles is better than Bean and Ender, so stop making Bean v Ender threads.

Really? That's the best you can do?
If Achilles is so great, why does he have a bullet hole in his head?
Posted by Elmer's Glue (Member # 9313) on :
He doesn't, it was all staged!

What about...
Achilles + Bean > Ender?

Well, it is obvious that If you make Achilles and Bean soup, Ender would >(hungry alligator) eat them. It's basically a mathmatical representation of Ender eating soup

No, Bean could easily beat both Achilles and Ender combined. He had already beat both of them.

Wrong. It's Ender eating pancakes.
Posted by JennaDean (Member # 8816) on :
Bean pancakes? Yuck.

Mmmm, Chinese pancakes with Mung bean paste!

Did you set up a logon and everything just to post that? Im open to any reasonable argument, why not explain what you mean in the interest of a discussion rather than a highly innacurate and only mildly annoying statement?

I agree completely.

My fictional character can beat up your fictional character...
Posted by Achilles (Member # 7741) on :
Probably.
In a google fight, "Achilles" loses to both "Ender" and "Bean".

Why are you guys even bothering with Bean, Ender, or Achilles. ULLYSES beats them all!!!

Ulysses got "hit by a truck," remember? He never even got NEAR the soup.
Posted by Mocke (Member # 11963) on :
You gave no parameters for your assertion.
Is it chess? Go? swordfighting? a fistfight? how is Achilles better?
Ultimately, BlueWizard is right. He got killed by Bean. If he is better, why is he dead?

Technically, if it's a contest between 3 people, it's "best", not "better".

I never found Achilles compelling. Only annoying. And the Bean books never did for me. Sure, he's smart, awesome, but Ender won, and the Bean books just weren't as interesting, because Bean never became a sympathetic character, in my opinion.
It kind of felt like the latter-day Star Wars to me, the whole bit. And I really tried, cos I love OSC's work... but yeah.
