episode 17 OMG!

[czeri]

Happy Christmas everyone!


I have to admit that one of the things I was most looking forward to when I heard there was going to be a sequel to Banlieu 13 was Damien and Leito fighting each other again. It's just hot, I don't know :-) In fact, when I saw Mukiai, which is basically Cyril fighting with some other bloke for 5 minutes, my first thought was: "Well, the choreography is awesome, but why is Cyril fighting anyone other than David?! It shouldn't be allowed!"

Anyway, so far it doesn't look like Damien and Leito will fight each other in B13U. However, in episode 17 they're doing something even more awesome - they're fighting together!

In B13 it was always one or the other. Even when they were together Leito was just following in the wake of tornado Damien, moving out of the way of the falling bodies. It was only when they were running that they worked as a team, which resulted in some of my favourite scenes - the near-simultaneous backflips from the shoulders of the thugs escorting them to Taha; the synchronised tic-tacs off the side of the van to jump over the car crashing into it.

And in B13U the awesomeness of Damien and Leito working together is combined with the awesomeness of them fighting! It's awesome squared!!!

In other great news, B13 fic count has gone up to 9!!! And there's yuletide coming soon :-)

I almost hyperventilated when I saw the update this morning! I love how in-synch they are backing each other up and doing stuff like pulling out the rug together. Just shows how much their intense love connection has melded their minds. ;-) If we can get two hours of these two team fighting I will die happy (well, mostly...).

I know! It's so amazing! I love the bit when Leito topples the guard at the top of the stairs, clearing Damien's way; and then how Damien flies over the railing and kicks the guard who got hold of Leito from behind. They can feel free to just keep doing that sort of stuff for the whole duration of the film, as far as I'm concerned ;-)
