The Old Guard Immortals Explained
Ok so the Old Guard is based on the comic book of the same name by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez. The 2017 release gained a lot of critical acclaim at the time and it's been a quick turn around taking this from comic to comic book movie in a matter of years.
It's easy to see why too and the source material stands head and shoulders above a lot of other releases due to it's unique concept.
Like the source material, the movie follows a group of immortal mercenaries that travel the world completing jobs. They're basically like The True Knot from Doctor Sleep but not a bunch of chumps.
We as humans sort of gain purpose in life knowing that time is of the essence, however when it comes to the characters in the old guard, they live pretty lonely lives due to merely existing through the ages and knowing countless people that have died.
They are clearly tired of it and in some ways it's like they want things to end whilst also being attached to their lives. This is exemplified by the line that opens the film in which Andromache of Scythia or rather Andy, played by Charlize Theron says that she's exhausted.
Andy dates back all the way to ancient Greece and two of the other members were on opposing sides of the crusades. These actually ended up as lovers and are called Nicky and Joe whilst the final immortal is called Booker. Booker was a deserter during the Napoleonic war and this kinda plays into his arc.
The Old Guard Ending Explained
The movie sort of has an extra scene in which we see booker six months later in Paris drinking himself to d...well not death and he's greeted by Quynh who we see has escaped from the Iron Maiden.
Now this movie adapts the Old Guard Storyline Opening Fire which started it's five-issue run in 2017. Following this, the creative team planned a trilogy off the back of it with the second storyline being called Force Multiplied.
The film changes things slightly as in the original run, Quinn was called Noriko but I think they switched this up so that fans of the comics would have some surprises for the movie. In the source material, Noriko and Andy were lovers and they spent time sailing the world on a ship. However, Noriko was swept away by the ocean and she spent centuries drowning and ressurecting which is similar to what we see in the film.
Comic Book Differences
The character wants revenge for Andy never coming to save and though the latter just wants to talk things through, Noriko wants blood.
This leads to a big battle that spills over publicly and ends up drawing the attention of the FBI.
As of making this video the fifth and final issue has not been released and it's due to come out on the 15th of July so make sure you let me know in the comics below if you've read it and what you thought.
The creative team behind the work has said that they're...

Ive seen the movie...one hell of ride...people will say they seen this kind of concept in anime etc etc...but for me its fantastic...the cast nailed it.
I liked it never even heard of the comic had questions if they blow up or lose their head do they die or regrow it and if a new one is born is the oldest turned back into a mortal liked it enough to get the comics
@@INTELECT1984 theres a scene that Booker almost blown into half but still recover...even headshot wouldnt do any damage...but its a great question what if their heads was blown up.
Heavy Spoilers loved it so much I watched it on Friday and it’s so good
I enjoyed the you video video and have not read the books so this explained it well. The actors they choose were great and can’t wait to see the next movie.
This is another notch in Netflix's belt. They are releasing a lot of good content. It was a bit slow at the start but it ramped up nicely.
Trash
TraderDoe super trash
@@neverwifed7872 just like your mom
No offense to whoever say it was dead but this movie was soooo damn good it I loved everything about it
@A.D.
Bruh, don't worry about offending anyone. These super critical geniuses, knit picking this detail/that thing over there/story was slow...yada yada yada. They can go gag on a hose pipe for all I care. This movie was excellent.
Tone Mack totally agree
It was a badass movie. One of the best I've seen this year.
Big facts it’s a different concept
Tone Mack “knit picking”. They were sewing clothing?
This should have been a series cause there's so much information and details we need to know way back to the crusades. Movie doesn't complete it
You so right no cap
The thing is knowing that it will never be a show is sad 🤣😭
Read the comic
I agree!
Kurta Pyjama agreed. Like snow piercer this story needs more time. The next one will take so long to complete.
who loves the movie and like me hopes that there is gonna be THE OLD GUARD 2
They're definitely planning on making a sequel. Quynh is back and that's a big deal
Just give us a TV-Series to binge-watch! We'll devour that within a week!
I wish
I don't know anything about the comic books but I saw this on Netflix, thought why not sounds alright. I thought it was fooking brilliant! That first resurrection scene as well!!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for checking out the video
@Simon C. / My sentiments exactly. All these so called movie critics get on my last Damn nerve! I'm like you, don't follow comic books , I don't read them. So for me this movie was original and different from what has been put out in the past 10 yrs. Basically, I thought this movie was "Fooking Brilliant!" as well. Looking forward to the next one. 🤙
Tone Mack read the whole series after watching the movie. It’s quite good
The resurrection scenes are in point!
Immortality is not new in novels or film. But this movie is different and tackles different themes about life and death and friendship.
Only time will tell if Netflix has a franchise in their hands.
I disagree.. i feel as opposed to 6 underground this movie has handled a close knit group of mercenaries very well. The back and forth of past to present and story telling was smooth. Their plot holes were 99% plugged and it all had a purpose without it being over the top or just the first instalment made for introduction. Action scenes where fantastic and their comfort in combat next to each other was evident.
Agreed, except the music was trash. Very out of place, and made the movie feel cheap and for a YA audience. Other than that unfortunate element, it was pretty good.
DefenestrateYourself yeah maybe. But the soundtrack created for some scenes was good. I didnt notice the music cos a lot was happening. “Silence” at the end was a little weird to hear tho
Completely agree. This story handled the characters relationships and "closeness" very well and made it work.
@@DefenestrateYourself I loved the music, and how it served the movies emotional moments
For a 6000 year old immortal who’s fought her way this far, I would have loved to see that reflected in the choreography. The bits of the old guard using a mix of their individual traditional weapons with modern firearms was great in the first fight but was not played up in the remainder of the film, shame.
You should go watch the bts videos on the fight choreography. The stunt coordinator/fight choreographer guy seemed to put quite a Lot of thought into it actually: how Andy would move, how she would use weapons, what different styles she would use and how she would fluidly move through them, ect :)
They have sick soundtracks. Got emotional at some points. AND DAMN CHARLIZE THERON IS BADASS AF.
Right? Someone commented they should change the soundtrack and I’m like “PFFFFT, uncultured swine.”
It’s the characters and the relationships that sell this movie for me honestly. A lot of superhero action type films can do great action and good plots, but the small and sincere character moments often gets lost in the shuffle. The Old Guard really made me fall in love with these characters so that I would care and want to know more about their story. I think it is the perfect beginning story for a trilogy, more future films can tackle more of the history of the characters.
I love that the movie kept things simple, it’s gives us a rather straightforward story that is easy for people who didn’t read the comics to get into. But it peppers in the tiny details that would make any interested viewer want to chase down more information. It’s certainly led me to getting the comics. And I think that’s a success.
Good franchise starters do the building blocks and don’t show all their hands too early, and The Old Guard has set a decent strong foundation that makes people want to see more and be curious.
And beyond all of that, the representation for characters of color, for female characters, and LGBTQ+ characters is done so effortlessly well that I truly hope this gives a blue print to future films and shows, not just ones in the comics/superhero genre, on how to do representation well, and not have it be a token thing.
Overall, this is one of the more interesting stories I’ve seen this year and it’s grabbed me so much that I’m going to delve deeper into this universe, and I hope they get a sequel greenlit!
One of my favourite aspects of the movie was Joe and Nick's relationship. As someone who's bisexual it's amazing to see a gay couple have such a healthy relationship that's important to them while they also get their job done. A lot of times gay characters' storylines are either entirely about their relationship or they have nothing to do with it and it's an afterthought. It was really nice seeing them have a nice balance
I loved this movie. The quiet moments where you feel the weight of characters' eons of existence were beautiful.
This really needed to be a 10 episode series.
Absolutely agree! At least there will be a sequel!
This it’s why it’s important to support good actors, this movie is ok, Charlize is damn good an cuz of her it’s worth the watch...my thoughts
She makes almost all movies she's in. She is phenomenal.
Sean Haynes Nikki and Charlize are the best in this film.
I didn’t know anything about the movie before I watched it so I wasn’t expecting anything either. I was shocked how much I enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for checking out the video
Heavy Spoilers , yeah I just watched the movie , and wanted some insights and different point of view (that I found in your video ) thanks 🙏
rippoff of the highlander....so nothing new...
This movie was 🔥
I just finished watching this and this movie was awesome I loved it and I especially loved that they can go any direction with this movie, they can make sequels, prequels, spin offs, I really hope we get more from this movie
Thanks for checking out the video
Exactly!
We really need more of these characters.
Yes, a bit slow from the onset but having never even having knowing about the graphic novels (until watching reviews) it left me wanting to see more. Hoping for a sequel. Charlize is a badass.
Honestly, I loved that they started 'slow', because it lets you get attached to the characters, before putting them in an action scene.
I agree with the idea that this should be a series rather than a movie. There’s so much to be discussed that a movie just can do.
HMM men, i think this movie is ten times better than bloodshot, really the Old Guard has more background story telling
Fair enough, I think it’s more because Bloodshot took a cliche, did it for about the first 45 mins then changed for some surprises whereas due to the graphic novel I kinda seen all this coming. It’s still not a bad movie I just have to be honest that I didn’t enjoy it as much as I was expecting
I liked it when they linked every history in the movie.
Highlander was more authentic than this unrealistic, unbeliveable bullshit.
There is so much wrong, how could someone find this movie good?
I read the comic earlier this year and was excited to see there was a movie. There were differences in the movie from the comic which I guess added a little mystery for those of us who read the comic. The big difference in my opinion was that Andy loses her ability to heal in the movie, but this is not in the storyline of the comic. The movie ending sets up the stage for a second movie which is starting just like the comic. Hopefully they will be able to do a second movie. I did enjoy it even though the first half was a bit slow to start. Strong finish.
I loved it! Charlize can do no wrong! I hope they make a sequel
I mean they are
They better i just watched that shit and the very ending wit book and ole girl.....oooooo i cant wait🥵
When nile fell on the car and the rest came to get her and drove off why did the ppl come out the wood works like they were all watching the whole time like it was some play
It was also weird that we didn’t see the guy who she threw out the window, you know confirming that he was in fact dead
I think they implied that most people were hiding since everything started in broad daylight. The place was a research facility so its possible that nothing was noticed until Nile fell out the window.
This was a film I watched that I didn't know any history about, it was a totally random watch. So as an outsider I did find it quite enjoyable. However I did feel like it was quite compressed as though it could of been a 3+ hour film forced into the space of 2, causing the film not to flow aswell as it could in a more " ideal world " situation.
But overall, forgiving that aspect, it's definitely one of Charlize Theron better films.
This wasn't in any way an explanation to the ending, just a recap lol
I honestly just love Joe and Nicky. I was wanting more of their story! That would be an amazing prequel!
I loved the movie. I was given this guy's opinion a chance until he said it was worse than bloodshot. It was at that point I realized he was just talkin to hear the sound of his voice.
Loooooooooool
I agree with you whatever man this jackass loves the sound of his own voice
@@heavyspoilers Seems like you are more into the graphic novels than motion pictures. They don't always follow the exact story line. For us non-readers of the novels, I thought it was quite well done and can't wait for part II.
Steve Streeter It was decent but could have been much better. The music choice was atrocious. Very out of place and cheapened the quality of the film overall. It’s like they were trying to market to the YA crowd. Big yikes. Other than that, pretty decent movie.
It is worse than bloodshot.... Wtf was 'do you speak russian' scene... She already knows she's immortal
I loved it, it's weird tho how nile goes from never wanting to kill another person again to killing a whole security team without thinking twice, I don't really think the original regret was necessary as it didn't contribute anything to the plot or her character and it just got contradicted a few minutes later
To what I understand Nile Fight and kills in the end because she Knew that Andy was Betrayed and needed saving. Also she learned about Andy not immortal anymore which pushes her more to Save Her. Because Andy earned Andy's that she Choice to kill.
I took it as, nile was doubtful if these group of immortals actually have the best intentions or not... Seeing the pile of dead ppl killed by Andy didn't help. Afterwards, seeing the actual good done due to the grp's action gave her the push needed
I think having been a soldier, she's able to get over killing more easily than most.
Actually it was a part of her character development. And even in the final scene, she still doesn't kill without hesitation. That moment in the elevator, where she has to build herself up towards it. Added to her hesitation to pull the trigger when she meets Merrick. Or where she pushes Kozak out of the way but doesn't kill her.
Even in the end, she doesn't kill easily, especially when she comes faced with someone who is unarmed. But she'll fight back when someone is shooting at her, or when others are in danger.
Just finished watching this morning, I’ve no experience with the source material. I’ve never even heard of it tbh but I really enjoyed it. I agree, the pace is off now and again and sometimes feels “cheap” due to the lack of energy from anyone other than the 2 main lead ladies. I loved the action and I’d hope it pulls a sequel
yeah me too, think it's clear why they dropped it on netflix and didn't push for the theatre but definitely a lot of potential there, thanks for the comment
@@heavyspoilers Not sure what you mean by "they dropped it on Netflix.." Netflix IS the "they," Netflix developed it. And they might've Had intentions to have it in theaters too like they've started doing for some of their other movies, but no one could've predicted COVID happening
@@heavyspoilers I'd say the pacing was perfect,though I have noticed that certain reviewers seem to have missed the point of it, because they focus too much on wanting cliché action scenes and explosions, and miss the emotional impact of the scenes. Like how you whine about the actors, when every actor in this movie was perfect. From the gentle eeriness of Nicky, to the intensity and gregariousness of Joe. The sadness in Booker, and how much I loved to revile Merrick, Keane and Kozak. Andy and Nile were of course excellent as well. There was not a weak spot in the entire cast. the pacing was perfect. Male pandering movies might have skipped over the introductionary scene with the baklava bet, but because of it, you instantly get attached to these characters. you start believing in them as a found family from the start, instead of just looking at a bunch of faceless action figures, like you do in the majority of action movies that mostly make me lose interest in the characters. Unlike TOG, where there wasn't a single character I didn't instantly remember the name of, which for me, is a huge thing. If you can make me like characters enough to remember their names without having to make me look them up, then you've succeeded in characterization.
Every action scene in tog flowed out of characterization, even the 'exposition' scenes, did far more than just tell us the fact, they showed us how these people interact, how they welcomed Nile into the group, built up each individual member of the group, and makes you care about them. Whether it was the dinner scene, or the one with the nightmare, they make you care about these people. They show us how kind these immortals are, and how much of a damn they still give. And that is priceless, the fact that he director knew enough to slow things down, for that, is what made the movie so great, because by the time you get in the middle of the heavy action scenes, the action actually matters;, because these aren't just nameless faces being shot at. They're people you want to see safe and happy.
Far too many action movies these days are too fast, rush through the emotional scenes and fall flat because you don't give a single bit of a fuck about who the chars are, cause all they are is a bunch of quips, one liners and ability to shoot people, and that well... get boring pretty quick.
As a result most action movies are something you watch once and push aside, with The Old Guard, I've watched the movie over ten times so far, and every single time I watch it, I find new things to love and be excited about.
It was decent, but wished there was more character development for the other characters. Action sequences were good even if they faced
cartoony villains.
well thats why its going to be a trilogy lol
I completely missed the fact Nicky and Joe were lovers
Meh. I thought it was a drag and keke lanes acting left much to be desired. I would’ve liked to had explored the mythology more. I want to see them loving been immortal at first. I’m sick of the cliche that immortality is a curse
@@athorpe1937 The kiss didn't tip you off?
I liked the movie and would like to see this as a series, many different directions it could go.
Yeah lots of potential here and the new round of stories is good too
As someone who didn't read the comic, I had an amazing time with it. Hearing about the comic, it obviously could've been better, but that's always the case. Definitely gonna read the comic DEFINITELY gonna wait for that sequel
Glad you enjoy it and hope you enjoy the original work
Same
I watched this as soon as I got up, I was so excited for it. It wasnt as good as I hoped it be but I still enjoyed it.
Yeah I agreed, was expecting more but still fun, thanks for checking out the video Emma, hope you have a good weekend
I enjoyed the movie. Great action. Just needed more character building and back story. I hope there is a part 2.
I’m not an action movie guy, but this is one of the best ones I’ve seen in my life. At least top 5!
I’ll never forgive you for calling Andy “Andromash”.
enjoyed the film. more flashbacks would be nice.
*The one thing I hate more than bad movies is Good movies that have the potential to be great*
Yeah just missed it due to the first hour I feel, would love to see what they do next though
I liked the movie but now I want to read the graphic novel. I also loved Joe and Nicky in the movies, I hope that they are like that in the graphic novel. The action in the film was great as well, but I hope the sequel is just as good.
Enjoyed it.
Loved it
Do any one now what the last song whas at the ending?
Good job
Can’t wait to see the next one!
Worth watching, but it might have been better as a 6 or 8 episode series. As a movie it is missing some intensity. I want to see more so I guess it did it's job.
Yeah agreed, I think as a series it would be a lot better
nice video
it needs a crossover with 6 underground.
Genius.
6 underground was atrocious
Whoaa🤔
I want someone to wax poetic about me after a millennia the way Joe did about Nicky when they were in the van lol. They're my new favorite couple. Also, I find the concept of loneliness as a punishment to be quite interesting. I'm like Nile, I probably would have just let Booker off with an apology because he's clearly remorseful and he genuinely just wanted to find an end for Andy, it's a weird twisted devotion to her happiness but I can appreciate it?
I enjoyed the movie very much. I went into it not knowing anything about the comic. Looking forward to reading them.
Hope you enjoy em and thanks for checking out the video
I just wish it was a series! The possibilities! We could have had the histories of every character :'(
I actually liked and can't wait to see more.
I dig it!
i really liked it looking forward to more
Good special effects
Does any1 know if Andy gets her immortality back in the comic or if she just mortal now period?
Question: how old is Andy? Based on the Greek mythology, she was the wife of Hector. There is a painting in the old mine and I am wondering if that is Andy and her husband, in the beginning of times?
6000 yrs or so
@@DefenestrateYourself exactly. She revealed it in an interview
I thought it was pretty good . Now I do agree I'd have loved to have seen more of the story to gave taken place in the past . I think we will see more of there past in future sequels
This is the best explanation ,that is on yt the others where just saying what happened in the movie
I knew nothing about this movie before watching it yesterday, and it was such a positive surprise! Even with weak and shallow villain, i loved the movie!
Awesome flick!
Can't wait for the part 2.
Me too
"It's Dudley... I'LL GET YOU DUDLEY!!!" XD
This movie was sooo good. I love immortality stories. Anyone ever catch "Man from Earth"
No... it's a movie or a book?
Was just looking for something to watch stumbled upon this absolutely brilliant movie 10/10
Cheers for dropping a review
When will chapter 2 will be released???
What a good watch! I don't know the source material so I had no expectations. I do agree there should have been a little more orgin with Andy's character...oh and she was boss AF!
This movie was very good, but of course a movie can never tell the full story so i'll be looking out for part two, three...
I'll be sure to watch this later today
hope you enjoy it
Loved it, didn't know about the graphic novel connection. Hope we get chapter 2 movie soon.
I usually really love your opinions but it saddens me that this is the 2nd review i've seen that cites the graphic novel as a way to tear down the film.. it reminds me of the game of thrones book people all over again that could never enjoy the show past s1 chatting bout stoneheart and horns of winter.... I get it though u can't unread what has been and not be clouded by it... Much love m8, always the sickest Definition
Good to know its from a graphic novel, I will check that out while waiting for the sequels
The way he says immortal though😂
After watching any mind bending movie i definitely search any explanation video regards that movie in this channel
Who is the actress who plays the woman in the store who sews the wound in Andy's shoulder?
Thanks for the video 🙂, excellent comments aboit the movie.
I will enjoy another movie in this franchise 😉
Ey thank you
This was pretty good movie on it's own outside of the comic. Iiked it.
Why are they immortal though? Can anyone explain the source of their immortality? Is it something that can be studied, documented & reproduced or is it devine intervention or magic?
Can't wait for part 2. This is by far one of the best films this year.
Hooray!
I didnt know it was a cómic but the movie was really good, the accion secuence at the beginning was aweasome i love it!
Thanks for stopping by the video
I am not into netflix but i saw Extraction and this one got me. Subscribed just to see this today. And, it did not disappoint!
Glad you liked it and thanks for checking out the video
Zimbabwe here i come
i just finished the movie right,hmmm its lit i really enjoyed it
Never watched this, I’m just commenting for the giveaway lol
I had to wait until my kids went to bed to watch this and man
Goooood morning....I was waiting for this movie bout to turn on now
Hope you enjoy it and thanks for stopping by the video
I'll bloody get you dudley! hahahahaha
Really loved the movie and waiting for more!
Really enjoyed the movie, hope they make a sequel.
Thank you for the detailed analysis. Just finished the movie and same score here 7/10. Looking forward to get some luck on your prize!
Thank you and best of luck
Loved the movie. Not a fan of this type, but it definitely kept me involved, would love to see a sequel!
What is this ending explained someone please explain? Is this interstellar or shutter island to not understand?
Most accurate review, to date. Charlize was really the only one that carried the movie. The storyline and Charlize were great but the execution of cinematic visuals and scene flow didn’t do the movie justice. The first half of the movie was much more engaging.
Thank you 🙏
Great film. More complex than some adaptations. Liked the idea put forward in the review that part 2 could possibly involve Andy's mortal condition being stabilized.
I watched this once it was available and found it an Amazing and Entertaining ride! The acting was smooth & very well done. The action was great. I'm really hoping for a sequel!
Will there be a sequel..?? Bcuz in the end movie credits they click on one of a clip from movie and they “permanently delete” it. What does that mean.?? Hinting that there will be no sequel.?? Or will there be new cast alltogether..??
That’s just Copley covering their tracks
@@heavyspoilers oh...ok... I thought it's indicating something for next part..
What’s the license plate mean? RF63LBY?
Miles better than Bloodshot. Thoroughly enjoyed this movie tbh.
Fair enough, thanks for checking out the video
I am curious - what would happen if a part of their bodies is cut off? Like the head? Would they heal from it?
Yes, on the comic one of them got the top of there head blown off and it just regenerated
@@bellajones7547 wow
This movie was badass. It has all the goods. I think the creator of this video was looking for avengers. This is different. This has great dialogue. I want to know more about Andy. I could listen to this character tell her story for hours.
This comic definitely sounds like something worth checking out.
Yeah it’s real good mate, definitely pick it up if you see it
I didn't know anything about this but when I realized the source was a graphic novel, I was so excited. 🤗Definitely checking out the comic.
