Eight Reasons Why Hordriss Was A Better Wizard Than Merlin And Vice Versa

Hordriss was better than Merlin because...

...of Casper the Key (no elaboration necessary)...
 
 ...he didn't look like Slartibartfast on a bad hair day...
 
 ...why do you think we never see Hordriss and the noble Gandulf in the same room together?...
 
 ...why do you think we never see Merlin and the ineffable Great Soprendo in the same room together?...
 
 ...Merlin never got into the Slow Hand video...
 
 ...making magic with Latin incantations is so much more impressive than slowly and painstakingly spelling out the word "ERG"...
 
 ..."Malefact" is a much harder nickname than "Bert"...
 

 And the number one reason why Hordriss was better than Merlin is...
 
 
 ...Merlin's outfit is clearly a reject Darth Vader costume that faded in the wash.
 

 
Here's the counter-argument...
 
 
Merlin was better than Hordriss because...

...for all his supposed invincibility, Hordriss couldn't even find some grotty little bracelet without asking a schoolkid for help...
 
...he didn't look like he's fallen into a giant pot of red paint and then been left under a hair dryer...*
 
...why do you think we never see Merlin and the noble Obi Wan Kenobi in the same room together?...
 
...why do you think we never see Hordriss and the ineffable Paul Daniels in the same room together?...
 
...judging by the hair-do, it's embarrassingly clear that Hordriss was a distant ancestor of "Doc" Brown from Back To The Future...
 
...just how many times did Hordriss have to get suckered by the Opposition before he'd learn to be careful?...
 
..."Magnificent" is a much finer nickname than "Goat-features"...
 

 And the number one reason why Merlin was better than Hordriss is...
 

 ...Hordriss' outfit is clearly the scarlet dress that Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded in.
 

* Before anyone asks, yes I did pinch that joke from one of the books.
