I think the main reason I really love Andy so fucking much is the way Charlize Theron is portraying her (and I don't mean her looking, respectfully put, hot as hell)
no, I mean... when we get to know Andy in the first movie, we're told she's the oldest immortal and she's that tough, sassy, badass character who probably knows every single way there is to kill someone. I mean, she basically takes out about 20 special forces guys who're armed to the teeth just by herself in that church.
But when she realises she lost her immortality, or when Nile mentions dreaming about Quynh, she can get so utterly vulnerable. And I think Charlize Theron is an entirely outstanding actress for being able to portray Andy's vulnerability like that... just by minor facial expressions, or even the *look* in her eyes, it's remarkeable.
At the same time, Andy can still be that badass, we see so during the fight scenes at the Merrick company building, or in the 2nd movie, that opening action sequence in Croatia, where she's taking on multiple opponents without any fear, despite being mortal now. She still is badass.
At the same time, she is so vulnerable, physically now due to losing her immortality, but especially emotionally, which becomes painfully obvious in every single scene regarding Quynh... I mean, her reaction alone when Booker tells her Quynh is back and has a message for her... and then when she actually gets to see Quynh again after 500 years and everything that happened.
My heart hurt so badly during these scenes and the main reason was Charlize Theron's acting. The way she portrayed Andy and put ALL the emotions into the way she LOOKED at Quynh... it's entirely remarkeable and I couldn't love her more for giving us this, like I cannot even find proper words to express myself here.
The only thing I know is that, unlike other people who think Andy and Quynh should have hugged or kissed, I don't think it was necessary at all and the way these character's emotions were portrayed by these two incredible actresses – because Veronica Ngo was nothing short of outstanding as well – was more than sufficient enough to tell us the depth of their relationship and their love and how much they still care for each other even after 500 years
