#I mean marwan kanzari was truly remarkable in this movie

thinking about how joe remembered exactly who shot nicky (despite being in a fight and the guy having tactical gear on) and was like 'yeah nicky's 100% ok but like i'm still angry enough about it to kill you 🤷‍♂️'

Oh I’m not surprised he remembered because out of the two of them, Joe is definitely the more outwardly expressive one of his feelings, good or bad, as we saw in the van with Nicky and later with him shouting at Booker. Joe’s tone and expression during the scene where he kills the guy who shot Nicky seemed grieved to me. Take a look at it again and notice his expression afterwards, it’s almost as if he winces in pain after killing that guy and carries its weight instantly, but he’s still resolved and doesn’t hesitate about it which strikes me as a very complicated emotion where Joe would kill for Nicky, and to protect Nicky and their family without a second thought, therefore of course he would remember who they are and go after them, but much like Andy said, Joe feels and carries the weight of each one of these kills. So what pushes him forward must be a sense of deep loyalty and sense of protectiveness that’s taken roots centuries ago and keeps growing, and I love having that kind of depth with these characters.
