IGN: With Shaw killing the man who killed Root, obviously weāve seen the version of that scene where she says, āBut Iām not that person now.ā But I donāt think it comes off as Shaw is now some psycho. She is who sheās always been. Did it just feel like, yeah, this Shaw is not someone who would turn away in this moment? It would be a definite vengeance all the way to the end for her?
Nolan: Yeah, I mean, you donāt want to be flippant about it there, but the whole point of Shaw, as Root said to her in the finale, sheās a f**king straight line. Weāre not watching the redemptive story of Shaw. Weāve watched the redemptive story for Root, right? Weāve watched her go from being immoral to transcending, subliming something different. With Shaw, what we love about Shaw was that sheās f**king Shaw. You could detonate a suitcase nuke on her f**king forehead, and sheād still be Shaw, right? Thereās an unwavering commitment there to her own closely guarded, tiny little moral compass, because she sees and looks at the world differently, right? And you didnāt want to betray that. So in that last moment, for her ā and itās terribly satisfying for us ā it isnāt a redemptive, āOh, my friend has taught me the meaning of ā¦ā No. Her friends were, in order of prominence, a f**king hitwoman-turned-fucking acolyte of a transcendent artificial intelligence, a presumed dead and missing special forces f**king hitman, and a man who had been accused of treason. This is not a person who learned to be nice.
