Canon RF 135mm 1.8 vs RF 85mm 1.2 - Is There A New King of Portraits?

The RF 85mm 1.2 has been my favourite portrait lens for a while now. With the release of the new RF 135mm 1.8 I decided to compare the two lenses for portraits to see which one comes out on top in terms of sharpness, rendering and usability.
