I was talking in general, not about Lake Town. Also, Smaug's death was HIGHLY situational. He still destroyed Lake Town in his death and doomed any poor people still in the city regardless.

It's better to go down like a man instead of winning like a wuss.


++Chrysophylax Dives. As stated, he is a smug Dark Age guy who won't share with the common folk, he has a Kevin Bacon factor to Puff the Magic Dragon, and finally, he really doesn't count as a dragon. Sure, dragons have been stereotyped, but the stereotype is basically the guidelines for dragons. Be Menacing, destroy towns, have pride in your race. Smaug fits those, while Chrys isn't menacing, doesn't destroy towns, and lacks the determined pride in his race. He's like a Sith Lord who doesn't act like a sith lord. That's messed up, and is negative to the balance of the world. (He also doesn't have any chance of a cool intro.)

Eagles are the good flying folk; dragons are the opposite. Such treason to one's race is unworthy of a championship.

(Hey guys, it would be pretty lame to have two dragons in the finale. Smaug is the better of the two, and it would make a good Dwarf/Dragon showdown if Elberth went off soon after.)
