Who Has the More Iconic Voice? Morgan Freeman Or James Earl Jones?

Debates can be a healthy and productive way to express your opinion and get other aspects from people who may agree or disagree with your particular topic or discussion. OR, a healthy debate can actually change your thoughts on the conversation at hand. The latest debate that some Twitter users had on Monday centered on who has the more iconic voice, James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman.

The voice of Jones has been immortalized through his many roles and possibly the most recognizable of those is attributed to the voice of the “Star Wars” character, Darth Vader yet, some can’t get the voice of Mufasa from the iconic movie, “The Lion King” out of their heads. And he, IS the voice of CNN.

But, some people will always remember the role of God that Morgan played in the movies “Bruce Almighty” and “Evan Almighty” and, of course, the too many to name iconic roles he has been involved with as well.

Between James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman, its hard to choose who has the most iconic voice. Its Mufasa vs. Lucius Fox! pic.twitter.com/mTsnVa7hj3

Even if he hadn’t played God, here’s my message for anyone choosing another voice over Morgan Freeman’s.

Because he was Easy Reader on The Electric Company before James Earl Jones was Darth Vader, if not before Jones was Jack Jefferson in The Great White Hope. pic.twitter.com/VehrCPDTqm

Dude – James Earl Jones is Vader in the original Star Wars films. End of debate, in my humble opinion!:-)

It’s Darth Vader vs. God.
It’s Lt. Lothar Zogg vs Iliderim.

Morgan freeman is awesome and iconic and if it’s for a narrator role then I choose him, but James earl jones just makes his characters have a presence, especially Vader, so him

Jones had some of the best roles for his voice.
Vader, Thulsa Doom…
I choose Jones.

Nothing against you, Mr. Freeman, but Mr. Jones voices one of the most iconic villains not just in film history, but in the history of pop culture.

You mean #Mufasa versus #God, because #MorganFreeman will always be the voice of God!

Morgan Freeman… Jones sounds canned sometimes. Besides, I heard Jones was a GOPer. I’m not very fond of Republicans these days.

After looking at all of the related responses, James was the favorite amongst the users, with most referencing the Darth Vader baritone.
