The Witch King vs. Sauron

There wouldn't be any Witch King if it weren't for Sauron.

Tough one, but I enjoy the evilness of Sauron in Númenor more than the evilness displayed by the Witch-king in LotR.

Yes, for this match it seems to be Sauron of First and/or
Second Ages vs. TWK in the Third. Third Age Sauron,
especially PJ's eyeball variant, seems a touch lacking in
personality.

Actually they were both rather cowardly (or shall we say,
favorably disposed to strategic redeployments) in combat
situations.

I just have to. I normally like the minions more than the big baddies anyway. Of course Sauron is a minion himself, but... The nazgul (in the books, mind) were very frightening to me...much scarier and more menacing than Sauron ever was. This is only TA Sauron, but...I've only read pieces of the Sil, so, that's who I'm most familiar with!

I agree with Durelin and have to vote the WK. I wholeheartedly agree about the First Age Sauron (and Second Age), but WK is a nice guy. He's a Nazgul. In some way, I like him more than Sauron. I will go and like to have a chat with him. With Sauron, no way.
