man i always forget how crucial karen is to blade winning in this movie
like it’s not just that while he’s in an iron maiden she rescues herself out of a dungeon, then rescues //him//, then lets him feed on her to regenerate, then while still weak and anemic she manages to //steal a shotgun from a vampire guard// and win a catfight with that blonde girl
and it’s not just that she //cures vampirism// and also invents a weapon that blade uses to defeat frost and a better serum for his war effort
and it’s not just that she is the science genius who also charges into a vampire nightclub fearlessly at blade’s side
it’s that, as said, she does all this //when she should be terrified out of her fucking mind//
it’s that whistler says ‘shoot yourself before you turn, sorry kid’ and she says 'nah fuck that, i have to save the world’
