I think what they are actually guarding against is levity or having any sort of fun. It's all dour and serious. And the fights are terrible. One punch. One cut. No flow anywhere.
I might revisit when the Queen departs.
Oh yeah, I watched that the other day. At some point, I was doing things on my phone and just listening to it in the background. Charlize and Uma do get into a melee...
I wanted the fights to be better. So much attack...pause...attack...pause. If they were fluid, they could have been pretty cool.
I can't reconcile this part of the story: they have a "librarian-esque" immortal that collects all the stories about their escapades thru history. There's a whole plot-point around the first/last immortal and their powers. But it's only speculative, based on the hearsay of mortals... So, how do these mortals know this stuff when the immortals don't?
meh...
