actually i've decided i'm obsessed with joe's what are you gonna do kill me line. marwan kenzari plays that one 100% seriously which is in line with how he does the rest of the scene (perfect btw 100/10 we've talked about that that's not the point here) and i tend to overlook it because of that but in retrospect funniest possible thing to say to the guys who have kidnapped you for your immortality. what ARE they gonna do. kill him?
#neon has thoughts#saw a gifset. you know how it is#the old guard#joe 'faster than the elevator' al-kaysani WOULD say that#in context and with the way mr kenzari delivers it it reads a lot like he's so concerned over whether nicky is all good that he just kinda#snaps it at them. which very much works. but the line itself. funny as hell#and THAT'S reason 437 why mr kenzari should have an award for this scene and does in my heart with different delivery it would feel like a#marvel-esque quip but in the context it feels more serious and crucially Not Unbelievable#which is the key to the van scene imo. wrote a whole little meta about it once. but that's not important right now

#yes good#the old guard#VAN SCENE#yusuf al kaysani#SEQUEL WHEN#i've been saying for almost 4 years now that this movie was just so much better than it needed to be. it was so good. so fucking good.#saw a rumination about why 'eternals' was not good that made some perfectly valid points#but failed to point out that these people barely felt like they knew each other let alone were a family of sorts with individual dynamics#or that this movie had already done some very similar things and done them so much better a couple of years earlier#(albeit without any bollywood numbers or things transfiguring prettily into rose petals but i guess you can't have *everything*)
