Yeah, it's them again! :) This is my third tribute to the awesome BBC TV series "Killing Eve", which I'm a big fan! The second tribute is here, the first one is there, and I'm going to post one more before revealing my ALTERNATE ENDING (that's a big deal in the fandom, so I'll write it in all caps), so stay tuned and please follow me! ;)
Well, this is the scene from the season 2, where (SPOILER ALERT) Eve kills a bad guy to save Villanelle. That was one of the best scenes in the series because of the brilliant acting of Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, and very important one, because this is Eve's first kill (and Villanelle looked so proud!), and one of the main themes of the series is that they are not so different. Eve have her inner monster too, as well as Villanelle, and the only difference is that Eve is holding it back, and Villanelle is showing her monster. But both of them are not monsters. I actually disagree with the opinion that Villanelle has no empathy, but I'll write about it next time.
"Imagine he's a log! Quick, do it!"
Actually I built the scene without rewatching, using only my memory and screenshots taken by me as the reference (I even drew the Raymond's blood exactly like it was in the episode). So in fact I messed up the order in which everything happened: I supposed to show the moment before Eve's first attack, but at that time Raymond was choking Villanelle, which I placed exactly where she was after attack, when she was shouting "The shoulder?!" (Eve first attacked the bad guy in the shoulder instead of the head). Well, it was better to just recreate the reference shot, where Raymond was staying just like here, but with an axe at his shoulder. But I thought that from that shot it isn't obvious that he was attacked by Eve, and that she did it to protect Villanelle and herself, so I built the scene the way you see it.
You can watch the actual fight sequence here (too sad it's cut before you can see how Villanelle helped shocked and trembled Eve to go down the stairs, that was a very sweet moment):
