One thing I love so much about "The old guard" is that in comparison to other action movies I've seen so far, there's characters that have actual personalities that are vital to the plot and why the characters are doing what they're doing.
major "The old guard" spoilers if you haven't watched it yet pls do. It's on Netflix n a second part is supposed to come out soon (it's already made but there's no release date yet but stiiill)
Idk if anyone noticed that yet and correct me if I'm wrong but I noticed that n needed to share because especially for the older group of immortals it pecomes so clear why they keep going (taking Nile out here because the entire movie is just about her, getting used to it and she isn't in the same situation as the others yet).
But Andy is doing everything she's doing because she feels responsible. Her entire struggle in the beginning is, that she feels like her work isn't doing any good. She wants to stop because the "projects" she works on don't seem to work out so obviously she's discoiraged but as soon as anyone in the group is in danger she immediately jumps to being the leader of the group again ("I will get them back whatever it takes" , "I always go first").
Nicky is the optimistic one of the group and believes that everything happens for a reason, which he keeps reminding everyone of as encouragement. He keeps doing what he's doing as long as he has faith that there is a reason, even if he doesn't know it. I think for him it's the most obvious because it's part of most of his dialogues with the rest of the group "everything happens for a reason boss", "it's like it was meant to be [....] like fate", and it also shows in a lot of his other scenes even if he doesn't outright say it (like the scene in the lab when he beings up going to Malta even though they're captured right now, once again showing how he's optimistic and believes that things will eventually work out).
Joe does everything he does for the principle. This is shown in smaller ways but i really like how they kept subtly putting it into his actions. Throughout the movie he mainly seems chronically pissed off, however we gotta consider that the movie shows a time frame where people are mainly doing things that harm him or the people he cares about in some way, which he obviously deems as wrong so getting back at them is just all about the principle. There's no arguing or reasoning with him because he is set in what he believes in and will fight for justice even about the little things. We can especially see that later in the movie in the final fight in the lab. This shows especially in the line "you shot Nicky...you shouldn't have done that" followed by him, killing the guy he just spoke to, like- Nicky is alive and well, the guy's immortal there was never even a slight risk of him dying but it's the principle. Also that he wants to leave Booker in the lab for betraying them, his last line in the movie of "she's not asking", which basically translates to 'you fucked up so now you owe us, deal with it' or just the entirety of the van scene. Obviously the whole "what is he? your boyfriend?" was just supposed to be some homophobic joke but, once again he asked so he's getting an answer. It's just the principle.
And Booker tries to do all he does for the people he loves, yet all the people he loved are dead and as we can see in his dialogue with Joe ("You and Nicky always had each other.......") and the first scene of all of them interacting, in which he doesn't interact with the group much or hug any of them, plus the fact that he's the youngest out of all of them, he doesn't seem to see himself as part of the group. He can't really find a reason for anything he's doing like the others do because while Andy will always feel responsible for the people around her, Nicky will most likely never lose his faith and Joe will always find something to be pissed off about, Bookers children are dead and any people he gets attached to will eventually die, which therefore disqualifies them as a safe and constant source of motivation. And the fact that he is aware of that but cannot find another reason to live for makes all of his actions so much more understandable and also really heartbreaking. To him his immortality isn't about responsibility, reason or justice it's just about hurting "just because we keep living, doesn't mean we stop hurting". So obviously he'd want to stop it.
I just rewatched it and it's so nice to see the dialogue and the character dynamics and really get the characters actions, which makes the plot like 10 times better. Generally I just really love this movie and I need Netflix to release the second one NOW because that cliffhanger was atrocious.

Saw this painting of Saint Sebastian the other day in the Nation Portrait Gallery and instantly thought of all the fics of the old guard walking around gallerys seeing paintings of Nicky (or at least ones that look like him.)

I had so much fun making this first poll for Joe, so now is Nicky's turn!
We all know that boy is soft™, but which was his softest moment in the 2020 movie? Disclaimer: I initially selected 20 scenes/lines and had to ask for help to narrow it down to the current 10, so good luck picking one!
📣 Please reblog to reach more people! 📣
(and yeah, I could have made a fave badass Nicky moment too, but let's be honest here: we all know that "sniping two guys with the same bullet and then picking up the case in one single movement" would win in a landslide, lol)

Notes: Previously...
***
“Are you okay?” Booker asked, even as he took a seat next to Sansa.
She sighed, then showed him the bottle of gin in her hand. “Wanna guess?”
Booker gently pried the bottle from her fingers. “Just because we’re immortal, it doesn’t mean you should drink like this.” He put the bottle on the ground.
“I don’t like this job, Booker.” She spoke softly.
“Sansa.” He cupped her face. “Please, stop coming on missions.” He said seriously. “I know you think you owe us, that you can’t abandon us… You don’t, and you aren’t. We won’t turn our backs on you just because you got tired of the violence.”
“But you are all that I have left.”
He caressed her cheekbone with his thumb. “And that’s exactly why we’ll never abandon you. Because you’re also all we have. Sansa, you’re a part of us, fighting or not.”
Her eyes started to fill with tears. “I just feel so tired sometimes.”
Booker didn’t even think much about it. He hauled her to his lap, and it was a testament of how tired she was, because Sansa didn’t even protest. She just put her arms around his neck, hid her face against his shoulder and let him hold her.
“You promised me a vacation.” He told her softly. “Just you and me. Let’s go.”
She let out a watery chuckle. “Now?”
“Yes. Right now.”

Since for some reason I can't add links to my bio. I'm gonna just post this and pin it.
I go by Tallulah and I'm gender fluid with pronouns she/they. I am bisexual and very proud.
My ao3 is very active with several pairings but mostly dinluke.
I have a spreadsheet with all the fics I've read so far this year. It's updated almost daily so if you need some fics rec that's the place to look.
Finally I have a Ko-fi where I accept coffee from lovely supporters of my works.
I truly appreciate you all following me for my nonsense posts and my writings. I feel the love and I'm so thankful to have you guys. Stay safe out there.

If I'm not watching Heartstopper, listening to the mixtape, or twitting about it, please send help. I'm probably stuck somewhere or already dead. 
Also, sleeping doesn't count as I'm streaming it behind my eyelids.
