Gandalf. Okay... so I've read LOTR a bazillion times (approximately), and watched the movie(s) more than once. So... I just have to say... just what kind of wizard is Gandalf, anyway? In the whole three books, he makes use of actual magic, what... 3 times? Maybe 4? He wrestles with a Balrog... he fends off a few Nazgul with rays of light... c'mon, now!
He's the greatest wizard in Middle Earth...so where are the fireballs? Where are the lightening bolts frying the orcs? In volume 3, when the orcs are invading Gondor, what weapon does he use? A sword!! Okay, so it's probably a magic sword... I'd guess +3 at least. But... c'mon. The orcs are attacking, and all he can do is whack their heads off??? Where are the fireballs that turn dozens of orcs into roast beast? Where are the lightening bolts from his staff, making activated charcoal out of armored trolls? Where are the death spells???
Gandalf... kind of a lame-ass, really.

But still.... pine cones? Surely the Grey Pilgrim can do better than that, eh?
I still don't think he's a lame-ass. He just doesn't like to show off.
