Has anyone else noticed how at the end Andy tells Nile "when you ditch the car, ditch the weapons" EXCEPT her battleaxe was in the car? Was Andy planning on coning back for the car or, 100% sadder and more likely, was she planning on dying and not being able to rescue the rest of the team? 🥺
#The Old Guard#oh she 1000% expected to die rescuing Joe and Nicky#she was already Done™️ and this was just the Almost Certainly Doomed Mission to cap things off#which makes Nile bringing the labrys with her that much more striking and meaningful#not just so they could have a plot-convenient symbol of eventual transfer of leadership#but that was also Nile carrying Andy’s metaphorical mantle back to her#that axe was Andy’s responsibility to the world okay#god there was so. much. packed into the moment Nile gets out of the busted car and gives Andy the axe (via @hauntedfalcon)
This is the kind of insight I was looking for!
