Anyway if Joe had released the curls and Nicky had tied his hair back, wisps of fringe tucked behind his ears, they would have been too powerful and it would have been over for everyone including each other

rewatching the old guard (2020) dir. gina prince-bythewood is essential. you need to fall in love with nile freeman all over again

i could NOT be more obsessed with nicoló's inconsistent tenses. character decision of all time. this man's been alive for a millennium but does not give one single fuck about english grammar. italian of all time.

I could live a thousand years and still never get over how Nicky can not only shoot through two people in pitch black from a hundred plus yards away, but also catch and stash the shell casing with his bare hand without looking. I have to rewind it every single time bc i still can't believe it.

the Booker v Nicky thing is so funny to me for 2 reasons:

a) bc Provence and Liguria are are like this👌 far apart (and that’s on a *contemporary* map), and bc when I’ve looked up anything from food to folk music it’s extremely similar, I’ve interpreted the sniping as Cuba v Puerto Rico 2: Same Hat & Ur Mad Abt It, BUT MOSTLY,

b) Yusuf does not take sides in the sniping bc his ace in the hole is to very very sweetly be like oh nooo why are the Franks fighting?? Which must be spaced out, or Nicky will see it coming and he won’t get maximum PAUL_RUDD_MOMENT_OF_PSYCHIC_DAMAGE_.PNG

don't mind me i'm just over here still thinking about the moment andy sees quynh give up the bomb and realizes that she hasn't lost her completely and they still have a chance to make things right between them

Nicky + destiny

[as-is-yours]

i find it funny (in a loving way) that joe and nicky had their first fight in like a century or two and nicky is already in tears before they even start

both of them actually acting like they’re legally required to get a divorce now or something

KIKI LAYNE Talks Working With Charlize Theron and Her ‘Poignant’ Hair in ‘The Old Guard 2’

Source: New Beauty interview, 9th July 2025

The Old Guard 2 was cool because I got to wear my locs out for the first time. That was so meaningful, as a Black woman, to wear a style that the industry has not always made kind space for. It’s a style that I think a lot of us feel we’ve been tricked into thinking: “Oh, it’s not professional, it’s not nice, it’s not pretty or beautiful.” To be leading an action film while having natural locs, I think that’s probably been my favorite hair moment so far in a film. It felt so much more poignant to wear a style that the industry hasn’t made much space for, really.
