Ok, I have no idea how your post even comments on an encounter between Smaug and Gandalf. However, I will comment on the character of Gandalf. Gandalf as an act of selflessness agreed to his mission as one of the Istari even though he doubted his ability to confront Sauron. He and the other Istari agreed that they would not go to Middle Earth in their angelic forms but wear the form of men and be subjected to a lessening in power and be subjected to mortal frailties of pain and death and emotions such as fear. Gandalf is interesting because his spirit was one of service to others, not himself and one of selflessness and self-sacrifice and despite the distractions and temptations that come with living as a man in middle earth for thousands of years he held true to his mission to not rule but advise and counsel those of middle earth to combat the evil of Sauron. Sorry, but IMHO, that makes him an extremely interesting character.
