Watched the first season of 'The Old Guard' and then 'Extraction' back to back, and the difference in fight scene editing was like night and day.
The clear, wide shots in 'Extraction' let you follow every brutal move, while the shaky, close-up cuts in 'The Old Guard' just made me feel dizzy and confused about who was hitting who.

The Old Guard's fight scenes were actually done by the same stunt team as John Wick. They just went for a totally different, messier style on purpose.

Totally, that's a great point. It's a smart way to show their age and fatigue through the action itself.

Yeah, and that messy style fits the story better. These are ancient warriors, not trained assassins. They're tired and just want the fight over fast, so it looks clunky and desperate on purpose.
