Nesh Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 This is another one those where I don't think either would be good at the other's jpb, but I think Snow Miser might be better equipped to do the Blair Witch's job than vice versa.

He makes it snow in the polar regions and is locked in rivalry with his brother heat miser for the equatorial ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twogunkid Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Just now, Nesh said: Yeah, that. I put the Rankin Bass special on for my students' Christmas party, so it is fresh in my head. That and my favorite specials I'm watching now too. It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and the 1984 Christmas Carol with George C Scott.

Magnamax Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Hurm. So the Blair Witch is an elemental force that can seemingly distort time and space in the woods. The more recent movie has months passing in hours. In that sense, I think she’s as likely to do well at Snow Miser’s job than the inverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakaiThwei Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 There's been several movies about the Blair Witch, including an in-universe documentary which was also part of the marketing campaign for the 90's. And then there was the 2016 reboot movie which does actually show her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice park in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnamax Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Im going to double down on the idea that the witch has more power than the snow miser. While she may not be great at controlling cold I would think she still is more capable than him at her job otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to tell with the mythology though. It seems to be to trap folks in the forest and reenact some specific rituals. I think Snow Miser is less likely to be successful at that. Blair Witch is used to being a malevolent spirit type, being cold seems less strenuous for her. Snow Miser having to do things with that level of specificity seems more challenging reversed.

Pizzaguy2995 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I’m leaning towards Snow Miser honestly. If he had the Blair Witch’s backstory and motivation he’d arguably be a much more deadly mass murder than her with his assortment of ice powers. Meanwhile the Witch has no ice powers so she definitely cannot do Snow Miser’s job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSkillz Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 After rewatching Year Without a Santa Claus recently, I can't get the Snow Miser/Heat Miser themes out of my head. Anyways, one thing that holds the Blair Witch back in this is that cold doesn't seem to be in her powerset. So I'm guess I'm inclined to give this to the not-so-miserly one.
