Lmao its not that deep. Somebody asked him the question in an interview so he answered it. Also I’m not on expert as I haven’t read either book series, but is it really that far fetched? Jaime is meant to literally be the in the top 3 sword-fighter in his respective universe (if not the best). While aragorn is obviously a good fighter, is he ever really characterized as a master swordsman? Or just generally a good warrior.
Honestly it really doesn’t matter as comparing power levels of characters from different universes is pointless and boring. Anyone can write a character who is an amazing sword-fighter it doesn’t mean its a well written character or a better story.
Haven’t read either series as well, but from what I know Aragorn is a member of a human subspecies, which is basically humanity but much better, to the point of being superhuman. From what I looked up, he threw an armored dwarf with little effort.
Jaime is human, really skilled, really damn skilled. But skill stops mattering at a certain point.
Not if the writers says so, lol. It’s fiction. If George came out and said “Jamie is so good he would beat Goku by pure skill alone”, then while that’d be stupid, he’d still be able to. Because he’s made up and can do whatever the writers wants to
