"You're quite the poet for a barbaric Christian"

imo extremely underappreciated part of the comics:

nile just having a bunch of random jobs doing a bunch of different things, and being like yeah nbd i'll handle this security system. nbd.

bonus for booker's very funny, endearing, and relatable impressed face:

The Old Guard (2020)

TOG Promo Material (Part 8/?)

"between us three there are over 5000 years" Andy says of her Quynh and Lykon in the new comic. the references to Mongols and the Great Khan put this in most likely the 1200s. she first met Lykon when Alexander the Great was around, so that's 1500 years, and I'm vaguely remembering from a previous timeline attempt that Quynh was born around 1000 BCE so that's 2k. leaving around another 2k years for Andy when we know she's a lot older than that

hmm 🤔

there's an easy Doylist explanation: this is Greg once again being bad at math

but I'm digging this Watsonian idea: Andy is either choosing not to remember or choosing not to count how long she was alone before Quynh

The guns are gonna end up being kinda janky

that's one thing i do like about her in the comics, she is your stereotypical sad action man but not watered down one bit, she smokes and drinks and fucks her life away while wallowing on her misery like every respectable noir protagonist do and she gets to be jerk without having the narrative showing her off for that. she gets to be the brooding and stand offish asshole with a heart of gold and it's great
