Okay...

I'm going to be that person but am I seriously the only one who thinks that Quynh is not going to just suddenly forgive and forget ~500 years of torture by constant drowning, built-up rage and the resultant insanity/instability all because Andy cries and says she's sorry?

Because I don't think she would. However I see a LOT of that in the fandom.

I refuse to believe that Andy is going to die in the sequel so her and Quynh will eventually reconcile their relationship but it's just not going to happen in X number of minutes.

The Old Guard Timeline

Rounding, my guess at the timeline for our immortals would look something like below. I added the ‘estimated’ notation when specific dates weren’t referenced in the comics or movie. When ages of the immortals at first death isn’t referenced, I default to 30 years old.:

4710 BCE Andy is born. In the comics, Andy states she is 6732, so give or take some years there for publishing and calendar changes.

4680 BCE Andy becomes immortal (estimated)

1362 BCE Quynh is born (estimated)

1332 BCE Quynh becomes immortal and Andy starts dreaming of her.  (estimated) In the comics, Andy states she dreamed of Quynh 1,000 years before meeting Lykon in 332 BCE

1332-332 BCE In the movies: It is insinuated Andy and Quynh are the first to meet. Specific dates aren’t referenced and I’m not as much of a clothing expert to try and guess.

362 BCE Lykon is born (estimated)

332 BCE Lykon becomes immortal and meets Andy at Alexander the Great’s siege of Judea/Gaza

641 CE In the comics: Andy and Quynh meet at Amir bin al-As’s siege of the Byzantine Empire at Alexandria . Lykon isn’t there and they all meet up soon after, though for them soon could be years.

1066 CE Joe is born

1069 CE Nicky is born

1099 CE Joe & Nicky become immortal during the First Crusade

1332-1574 CE Lykon dies. In the comic it states Andy and Lykon traveled together for 2000 years and he died in the renaissance era. In the movie: Joe & Nicky aren’t in the scene where Lykon dies but they talk like they knew him. Given the date of his death, they would have at least dreamed of him.

1575-1650 CE In the Movies: They don’t state exactly when Quynh is lost at sea but widespread witch trials in England occurred between the the late 16th century to the mid 17th century. There are earlier trials in the Middle Ages, though not as common or well documented, and more often for political reasons. The last execution for witchcraft in England was in 1716. In the comics: Quynh is lost at sea, though not in an iron maiden for witchcraft. They are sailing and there is a storm. Joe & Nicky are there but Booker isn’t and a date isn’t specifically mentioned.

1770 CE Booker is born

1812 CE Booker becomes immortal during Napoleon’s invasion of Russia

1994 CE Nile is born

2019 CE Nile becomes immortal (estimated) and meets the gang

*BCE= Before the Common Era, equivalent to BC (Before Christ)

*CE= Common Era, equivalent to AD (Anno Domini meaning ‘the year of our Lord’, colloquially referred to as After Death)

THE OLD GUARD - Image! 30th Anthology #12

[rogue205]

So I finally got around to reading the graphic novels for The Old Guard and I don’t think I like the ending of Force Multiplied.

But if they’re already insisting there needs to be a third movie, I can see the sequel ending like that. But Andy is mortal in the movieverse so some stuff is already gonna have to change.

What I really did like though is Nicky and Joe(and Andy to a lesser extent) actually holding Copley responsible for his part in the whole Merrick mess.

I PRAY we get that in the sequel too because it bugged the hell out of me that they banished Booker but basically decided to give Copley a job and trust him with that just because he said “sorry” in the movie. That’s also different.
