it’s really a tough one, basing it on the book version of everyone……..theyre really kind of similar roles….theyre both sending uninformed english schoolchildren essentially from another world to take care of problems they couldve stepped in and handled themselves………… my dumbledore hate is really strong, aslan is just frustrating but you can kind of wave it off because part of his lore is that everyone has just accepted he has his own bullshit way of doing things that involves waiting for things to get really shitty before he bothers showing up after giving 10yr olds a crack at it first, and then leaving before anythings really resolved. but dumbledore doesnt deserve any of his reputation and he also uses that reputation to solve problems he created while pretending he totally didnt create those problems and has been so helpful this whole time with his superknowledge about everything thats going on, what do you mean i never really helped anyone if it wasnt convenient for me!!! he sucks
aslan also throws children to the wolves at random but none of them ever died of it. also, he’s generally just kind of rude and unhelpful to them and everyone else when it would be a lot easier to be a little friendlier and more informative. but thats part of his thing, whereas dumbledore is supposed to be accessible and yet never helps any students ever and makes crap decisions re their welfare. he’s shittier. aslan at least handles the boss battles. and aslan couldve intervened earlier but he didnt ever really…cause the rise of a supervillian directly through his own negligence. and sure aslan is lion god but dumbledore is supposed to be the most powerful wizard alive, which is close enough to that in a practical sense.
i’ll still allow that its debatable but imo dumbledore is crappier
#granted sometimes aslan only shows up as a Vision or whatever but everyone managed just fine#he wasnt demanding kids take his place to clean up his mess but more like...hey we require ur presence as per our weird lore#im going to make completely irresponsible demands of you but everyone has a sword and grownass helpers and stuff so its not nearly as much#as the shit dumbledore pulled on harry on the regular#kudos for gandalf for doing his best and not being limitlessly powerful and telling people stuff and only bringing along adults
