My favourite thing about the first one was that it showed Andy falling in love with humanity again.

It would have been nice if the second movie had showed us Quynh falling in love with Andy again.

It’s funny how you can go for a long time in life not needing someone, and then you meet them and you suddenly need them all the time.

The Old Guard 2 *spoilers*

This is just a formless rant. Spoilers below the cut!

Okay wow that was a trip.

We started off strong. Nile dressed as Kim Possible. Copley on a mission! Nicky/Joe speaking Italian! Story about a funny death of Booker's! Nile's compassion towards Booker! The thumb thing!! Climbing the wall like a badass! It lacked the precision you would expect from a team that's done this thousands of time, and not a lot of teamwork except between Joe and Nicky, but I could forgive that.

The car chase had Joe calling him Nicolo!! At no point did anyone speak Arabic which is... A choice... Of the racist kind... But hearing both Joe and Nicky's full first name's was nice.

And the drinking scene was cute. We got Joe and Nicky being married AF. The focus is on Andy, with Nile supporting, I could get behind that.

That line Andy says about being at peace was a little cliche in that well obviously now something is going to come blow that up and we know it's Quynh, so I guess there was no point trying to be subtle about that.

From there it just seemed to go downhill.

Nicky being the grudge holder makes perfect sense but idk why else he thought Joe was sneaking around. Their argument lacked the familiarity you would expect from a couple that has been together a thousand years. "you've always been too forgiving," or "I should have known you would follow me," nothing. The speech from Nicky was nice but I was hoping for a stronger reaction from Joe, or an apology for lying, or God forbid a kiss when they are not in mortal peril.

Why has no one else ever dreamed of Discord or Tuah and speaking of what kind of dumb moniker is Discord anyway?!

Wouldn't Nile or booker know if Quynh has been free for months??

Booker's rescue was so anticlimactic. Quyhn wants to hurt everyone but doesn't torture him?? What was the point of the new clothes other than to make booker look as European as possible. Why didn't booker ask for Andy to pick him up if the point was to just be messenger?

Tuah seemed like he was just a plot device. Not much personality. He's supposedly researched immortals but has not ever talked to Joe or Nicky or Booker or Nile or Quynh? And doesn't see Andy often I assume. How can you track their impact if you aren't told about their missions. Or their life. I guess he's the bystander immortal complement to Yitzhak in the comics, but he seemed like just a way to convey info about discord.

Which. Discord and tuah saw Quynh being taking away and 1) didn't help and 2) didn't help find her?? Wild. I have a hard time believing that Quynh didn't know discord was using her. And having Quynh work for her took away so much of her agency. She's free after 500 years, I was expecting hell-hath-no-fury-from-a-woman-scorned, not passively putting the bomb down after cursing out andromache only once. She could have been glorious.

The plot about the myth was dumb. 6 months since Nile has joined the team and not once has she sparred against Joe or Nicky and injured them? That's all I'm going to say about that. It was dumb.

Booker immediately trying to be mortal and transfer it to Andy was very in character. He didn't stop to think about it or tell anyone, which yeah makes sense for him. HOWEVER he didn't attempt to say bye to anyone which is crazy to me. Joe and Nicky were his brothers, not one awkward I missed you hug and nothing to nile? Also what was that cold shoulder comment from him. He knows what he did. He knew he betrayed them, he said in the last movie he expected a longer punishment. So why is he acting like he doesn't know why they won't forgive him?

Having the entire plot turn out to be because she wants her immortality back is just. Wild.

It's shallow? Or hollow, idk, but there's no substance there?? She said all that crap about them playing God... But wants to be immortal again? For what? She doesn't claim to want power, it's just immortality for no purpose.

We got Booker's death drawn out, and see Andy's emotions about it, but wow they did not grant booker much dignity there in the end. And no time for mourning afterward, there was no mention of Andy going back for him or for Copley. I was expecting a burial or something, but you only see that she took Quynh with her.

And the movie ending where it did was... Blegh. We waited 5 years for that?? If they don't make a third to have everyone be rescued imma be upset.

As someone who made this movie and the comics their entire personality for awhile I had a lot of feelings about this movie and had to get this out!

Amúgy ha bárki szeretne panaszt tenni az Európai Bizottságnál erről az egész borzalomról ami épp folyik, gondoltam leírom, ezeknek mond ellent az új törvény:

Megkülönböztetés tilalma: az Európai Unió működéséről szóló szerződés 2. részének 19. cikke (article 19 of part 2 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union)

Gyülekezési jog: az Európai Unióról szóló szerződés 2. cikke (2nd article of The Treaty on European Union), az Európai Unió Alapjogi Charta 2. fejezetének 12. cikke (article 12 of chapter II of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union), Az emberi jogok európai egyezményének 11. cikkelye (11th article of The European Convention on Human Rights)

Adatok védelméhez való jog: az Európai Unió működéséről szóló szerződés 16. cikke (article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), az Európai Unió Alapjogi Chartájának 7. és 8. cikke (articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights)

A szövegnek nem kell hosszúnak lennie, akár csak leírhatjátok, hogy milyen törvény ellen tesztek panaszt, utána meg bemásolhatjátok a fenti list��t <3

HI ZERO!! i’m missing hockey!megan rn 😞😞 could you come up with some hcs for her? i need my dorky hockey!megan to come back:((

  ୭˚. 𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮!𝙢𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 invites you way too late in the night to come over to her apartment to come watch her game highlights, you assume it’s her hockey-fied version of netflix and chill, and spend a meticulous amount of time getting ready. megan opens the door to invite you in, stammers out a compliment, and then proceeds to spend the rest of the 2 hours mansplaining the game to you. (how much more complicated can it get? you get the puck into a goal…) you fall asleep cuddled into her, and it isn’t the worst way you picture spending a friday night.   ୭˚. 𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮!𝙢𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 usually is able to lock in when she’s on the ice, laser focused and doesn’t get distracted by you. however, the exception to this rule is when dani puts her on the spot— usually by announcing something like “time to show off for the huzz!” and takes her own shot, sinking it easily into the goal. megan, however, will look up at you anxiously, goaded on by her cheering teammates, and then proceed to miss the shot, every. single. time. “dude i get nervous, she’s so pretty,” you hear her whine, and all dani can do is clown the hell out of her.   ୭˚. 𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮!𝙢𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 loves study dates with you even if she hates the actual studying part, and is your biggest supporter even if some of the content goes over her head. any time you practice giving a speech or another presentation with her as your audience, she ends after your final slide with a beaming grin. "any questions? what should i adjust?" you ask her, nervous about your grade, but she stares back at you with wide eyes. "um, i thought it was fine. i have a question though. can you explain it from like, slide 1?" ( "okay, but if these were hockey stats, you'd totally get what was going on. your head is literally just hockey sometimes," you squint at her. "not true! it's hockey and you!" she cries, clearly panicked. "oh, so i go second on the list?" you cross your arms over your chest, and her eyes go wide. "oh christ, no, that's not—" )   ୭˚. 𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮!𝙢𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 one of the taller, stronger girls on the team, and despite usually being nothing more than a nervous puppy, people quickly find out there’s no faster way to set her off than through you. one time after a game, someone pushed you out of the way to try and get to her for an interview, and the moment she sees them lay a hand on you, she’s rushing forward to shoulder check them away, sending them flat on their ass. “you okay?” she asks, those dark eyes scanning every part of you in concern, reaching to help you up and keep you close to her until she's entirely certain you're unharmed.   ୭˚. 𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮!𝙢𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣, despite the jock stereotype, has never been much of a partier herself. the first time dani manages to get megan actually drunk, you get a video at 1 am of dani and lara laughing their heads off at a sobbing megan, who has her phone in hand, simply staring at her photo of you as her background. “no bro, you don’t get it, i have to go home. my girlfriend is there, she’s so alone, i need to go smell her hair,” she cries, and dani laughs so hard she drops the phone and the video cuts out.  ( “you like my shampoo or what?” you tease the next morning, the two of you getting coffees as she nurses her hangover. she has your order memorized. “don’t be mean to me, i’m vulnerable and super into you or whatever,” she grumbles. )   ୭˚. 𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮!𝙢𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣, sweet, dorky megan loves to hold hands but is extremely shy about any other form of pda. it’s not that she isn’t proud to show you off, it’s that she gets so bizarrely flustered whenever you try to kiss her deeper than a quick peck or actively flirt with her, and every time her brain short circuits, your heart warms at the sight of her trying to stammer out some response. she shows her affection by insisting on carrying your backpack every time you guys walk together through campus, holding doors open for you, reaching instinctively for your hand whenever you start to walk. and most of all, megan absolutely loves to make you laugh— no joke or bit is ever too stupid for her if it means making you crack a smile.
