XXx Reactivated: Donnie Yen, Xiang vs Chirrut (Rogue One), which is the most badass?

Cinema 18 January, 2017

Donnie Yen starred with Star Wars: Rogue One and xXx: Reactivated. But who, of Chirrut or Xiang, is the most badass? In any case, the competition is tough!
It’s been thirty years since Donnie Yen makes films, thirty years that he spent half turning to Hollywood. But, it must be admitted, unless he is a fan of martial arts movies (or Highlander), his face still remains unfamiliar. Finally, ” remained ” one should say. Because in one month, the actor and martial arts expert is found showing two huge American feature films: xXx: Reactivated, that just came out today , playing the role of alpha warrior Xiang and Star Wars: Rogue One , in which he played the warrior monk Chirrut Îmwe. And between the two, you are told that our heart is swinging. Let’s face it , he fight with a stick or he confronts his enemies with bare hands, Donnie Yen has a crazy class! But suddenly, in melty, one wonders. Of Xiang or Chirrut, which would ultimately win over the other? Not easy to answer this question. But hey, that does not stop us from trying anyway!
Chirrut clearly has what it takes to emerge as the most character badass . Already because it is able to flank a thrashing to a group of Stormtroopers with a simple stick – and while being blind. Then his faith in the Force is so powerful that he can face all situations with the utmost calm. We all remember this scene where he crosses the battlefield of Scarif while he is being targeted by blaster shots, right? Moreover, it does not fold, to Donnie Yen, if Chirrut faced Darth Vader in Star Wars: Rogue One, he would win . You will understand, this former Guardian of the Whills is a formidable warrior. But not only ! Because he has a deep wisdom that allows him to gauge people, which does not make it a bore of first. On the contrary, Chirrut is a character who knows how to be humorous, if only in his interaction with Baze Malbius, with whom, it must be admitted, he forms a sort of old couple. In short, Chirrut has it all . And in addition, he always looks cool in dress and, just for that, we would give him the first place!
Except that Xiang is a formidable competitor! You saw him demolish these soldiers with fists and feet in the trailers of the film? And without seeming to make the slightest effort? But the worst part is that besides being an outstanding fighter, a highly trained warrior, Xiang does not feel as the big bad they want us to believe! His motivations are unclear but, as he himself says in the trailer, he is ready to die to save the world. And this kind of statement, it has still enough to impress us. Besides Xiang has a rival as talented as him in xXx: Reactivated: Xander Cage (Vin Diesel), which is itself already stronger than Dom Fast and Furious. If the two characters are alike in more ways than one, they are also elbow-to-elbow in regards to love of risk and crazy cascades. In short, more badass than Xiang, does not exist. Or almost. Because even though it is conquered by his power and agility, he has not this little mysterious side that characterizes Chirrut Îmwe and that makes it even more fascinating . But, in between, the choice is clearly difficult! And for you, which one is the most badass?
