You guys? Reasons? Favorite characters? Favorite Episodes?

Discuss.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Love them both to death but Band of Brothers is better.

Band of Brothers. While they were made by the same director, the Pacific and BoB felt very different. With Band of Brothers there was never a main character (Winters was the narrator, but wasn't prominent in most episodes), which I liked. In the Pacific there were three main characters that were excellent, but BoB had an entire group of excellent characters.



The Pacific had Garrus Vakarian in it, though. So that's a plus.

I absolutely cannot choose one or the other. So....WWII Russia.

On a side not I actually got the Blu-Ray box set that included both of them for Christmas.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

I found The Pacific depressing. I found BoB uplifting.

Both were so well done and so great. Don't make me choose! D:

  • 12.27.2012 6:13 PM PDT

Band of Brothers. I liked how it followed more of the unit as a whole than 3 individuals in The Pacific.

Really? Who is his voice actor in it?

Was also surprised to see Tom Hardy and Fassbender in BoB.

I'm Gourlay, I'm only here because I didn't know we had the option to leave.

Band of Brothers. It was all action while The Pacific was nothing but a bunch of family problems and love stories. If I wanted Romance in a WWII movie I would watch Pearl Harbor. I want my WWII movies to have as much action and amazing fights as possible like Red Tails, Battle of the Buldge, The Big Red One, and also Inglorious Bastards.

Brandon Keener, the voice actor of Garrus, made an appearance in the last episode (or second-to-last). Just search 'Garrus in the Pacific' on YouTube.

Peleliu, all three episodes were more intense than anything in BoB.

Yeah, I have never really seen all the episodes for both series all the way through. Just random ones from Spike marathons.

  • 12.27.2012 6:21 PM PDT

BoB was an amazing mini series. The Pacific was great but it wasn't on the same level.

Both are utterly amazing to me, I honestly can't chose one over the other.

  • 12.27.2012 6:24 PM PDT

Always felt Pacific was more honest about war.
