I loved The Old Guard. It is a great action movie that built a world with coherent rules. Then in The Old Guard 2 (written by the same person) they undermine all the previously established rules.
In the first movie the rules were basic and made sense: All immortals are aware of each other; why a select few have immortality is unknown; and eventually (after 100s or 1000s of years) an individual's immortality will fail.
In the sequel: There are two new immortals that have always existed; there is a prophecy about killing immortals (ffs how is there a prophecy about people that noone knows exists in a world where mysticism/prophecy have never been mentioned); immortality can be transferred to someone else if an immortal decides they want to be mortal; some bullshit about matching birthmarks (???) meaning someone is the last immortal because some newly introduced character just knows; and now there's a retconned curse that the last immortal created will kill all the others.
WTF! Why can't we just have nice things
