The marshaller is telling them to... not land? Interesting... and rather ominous.

Actuall, I think that's ICAO standard for STOP

Indeed, however, considering the plane isn't even on the ground...

Edit: Of course, it may just be stylistic foreshortening of time and I'm over-analyzing things~

I always thought that the wave off looked rather like wing flapping and didn't end up with crossed arms. Anyway, I guess we will see soon enough!

I was definitely conflating the far more pervasive marshalling ground crews with the landing officers on carriers, presumably from movies and stuff I've seen in the past. I couldn't find a wave off signal when I looked up marshalling, because the exact term wasn't coming to me, but it seems I wasn't completely crazy. The lack of apparent motion does call my interpretation into question though. And now that we're good and properly far afield... only midnight PDT can salvage this tangent.

You are. Among other things, to wave off a plane either the ground crew is standing on the runway, which is sub-optimal, or the aircraft is trying to land in the parking area...which is even more sub-optimal.

Yes, obviously not a normal procedure at your local airport by any means. I can imagine story scenarios in which such an occurrence might make a modicum of sense, but they weren't relevant in the end. Not that I was putting much stock in them to begin with.
