Veronica Ngô as Quỳnh in THE OLD GUARD 2 (2025)

In Vietnamese, while the speaker is talking/arguing with their partner and suddenly switches to pronouns pair: tao (first person, gender neutral) and mày (third person, gender neutral), this often signals as an unofficial breakup, or the relationship is now on thin ice at best.

“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”

There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true... it can pierce the veil between life and death. Conjuring spirits from the past and the future. In Ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they call them Firekeepers. And in West Africa, they're called griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities... but it also attracts evil.

Quynh spent 500+ years repeatedly drowning in an iron maiden at the bottom of the ocean, and the only thing going through her mind was that she needed to get out and save Andy because she thought she was stuck too---
