Originally posted by: wmgan My problem with the Gandalf-Saruman fight was the absence of *magic* -- here we have two powerful wizards fighting and all they do is fling each other around like rag dolls. Perhaps I'll reintegrate some of it back in -- however, I think it's important not to let Saruman take Gandalf's staff because it leaves the plot hole -- how did Gandalf get it back? Also, by having Saruman win so easily now, it shows how much more powerful Gandalf becomes after his "resurrection".
Good call. I agree with your vision even more now.
