“Make of your fate an arrow, and shoot with your heart.”

Vigilant Gaze voiced by Brain Blessed in the live action remake. Who would voice Solomon David tho
If he was alive, I would give the part to Michael Clarke Duncan.
With extant actors? No idea, maybe an older Michael B. Jordan.
If you mean just voice, then I’d say Keith David would make for an EXCELLENT Solomon David.
In the flesh though? That’s tougher, there aren’t many actors who are that gigantic AND also good at acting. I like Djimon Honsou though.
One life. One arrow. A short journey from bow to target.
I’m predicting one of two things. The first is the most obvious – White Chain uses Krayu Mat, Solomon replicates it, but loses blood in the doing so, and White Chain is credited her win. The second isn’t a prediction at all, but instead simply that she’ll do something truly unique among angels for her victory.
I was expecting the Krayu Mat thing, possibly combined with Solomon kicking a hole in her armour when she’s not in it and cutting his foot on the sticky-out screws. But I think that’s a heisenplot now; we killed it.
I’m now looking for something much weirder: White Chain will use a move that *accidentally* knocks Solomon’s key out of his head. There’ll be a moment of stillness while the key lies on the floor with both of them looking at it speechless. Then somebody else (who?) jumps in and snatches it … and the *real* crazy starts.
He killed the last person who had the key in a direct confrontation with his bare hands. He does not NEED the key.
White Chain’s popping quite a few of those nails, how long can she hold together ?
I feel like at this point the nails are symbolic/not helping her. She didn’t request them put in, Solomon’s men did that as part of readying her to die to him. Maybe once she loses them (and maybe the shell she has already referred to as “not her body” as well) she will be able to do something miraculous?
I’m not familiar with this Brian Blessed people keep mentioning. I hear Vigilant Gaze sounding like Robbie Coltrane in full on Hagrid mode.
Brian Blessed is the actor who played Vultan in the Flash Gordon movie.
Have a look at his page on TV Tropes. Simply glorious.
If WC finds a way to exist in her true form outside the void you will hear my screaming from across the universe.
I was thinking the same thing! I’m betting 6 Juggernaut Star is there too, but maybe not as an enemy…
I’ve lost a competition by axe kick before.
Not fun.
OUR SISTER MAY NOT WIN THE BATTLE BUT SHE WILL WIN THE WAR!!
GRAB HIS DICK AND TWIST IT
Monkey Steals Peaches
Man I too see Vigilant Gaze as Brian Blessed.
And if I’m not mistaken – White Chain is going to pull off Ki Rata.
That or an entirely novel martial art that Solomon will be unable to respond to.
“To be a reporter, you’ve got to turn yourself into a gun. And aim the gun. And shoot it. That’s reporting.” -Attributed to Spider Jerusalem.
THUMBS!
I’ll gladly take Brian Blessed. Excellent choice.
(But I still hear Siegmeyer of Catarina first)
The white fire darkens.
SOMETHING
TRANSCENDENT
Contrary to what it looks like, the humanoid angel without a head is not disparaging 82 White Chain for looking human, but for not wearing clothes like he does
Hold on. What usually happens when an angel’s shell is completely destroyed? I feel like something different might happen this time.
This is also my hope
She set him up for that. That should knock back a little smugness…
Upper right angel doesn’t totally look like White Chain to me, mostly because the hair looks like Allison’s, or perhaps Delicious if Delicious had White Chain’s colors and lost her collar ruff.
Can’t tell if I’m reading too much into it or what.
This is gonna be sad
I was thinking of an even gravlier version of Ron Perlman but Brian Blessed is pretty much perefection.
‘Angels. Angels never change.’
Despite only having confirmation from this page, I’ve always seen 10 Vigilant gaze as having the voice of Brian Blessed.
TRANSCENDENTAL BOOTYASS
Only an Angel beats another Angel. Ki Rata is the ultimate martial arts. Irresistable Force, meet Immovable Object.
It appears that the tyrant can match her every art. …But can he match Krayu Mat? Perhaps someone whose body is hardened to this degree and whose soul flame burns so brightly could manage this feat?
I do believe there was a term for this, in a faraway world. They called such an event a ‘Stand battle’
The sad droopy wings on panel two are heartbreaking.
I personally like the dark blue humanoid Angel with a fire sword – he’s clearly a reference to the one that cast Adam and Eve out of Paradise and stood guard at its gates
