Netflix has once again outdone itself in redefining absurdity, as the streaming giant announced it will release «The Old Guard 2» in two almost identical versions. Yes, you heard that right – two movies with a staggering 99 % similarity! While one version will proudly carry the torch as the sequel to the 2020 hit, the other will be presented as a groundbreaking remake of the same sequel. Confused? Good. That’s the point.
This bold move by Netflix isn’t just a creative experiment – it’s a cunning plan to distract viewers from the quiet but relentless rise in subscription prices. By releasing double the content – or at least the illusion of it – Netflix is essentially saying, «Who needs unique content when you can have the same story twice?» Genius, or pure trolling? You decide.

The company’s decision has already sparked heated debates across social media. Film critics are scratching their heads trying to find the 1 % difference between the versions, while conspiracy theorists are convinced this is a ploy to condition us into accepting monotony as a new form of entertainment. Meanwhile, budget-conscious subscribers are asking the real question: «Does this mean I’m paying for two identical Charlize Therons?»
But not everyone is unhappy. Minimalists are praising Netflix for its efficient use of resources – claiming this is a bold step toward «sustainable cinema». Meanwhile, those who live for pointing out Easter eggs are thrilled at the prospect of finding the single difference between the two versions – maybe a coffee cup left on a table, a slightly altered dialogue, or a wig that’s tilted at a different angle.
