[gonna be on this train for a while]

Watch on YouTube

I was pleased to note this The Old Guard featurette was on YouTube; I saw it on Twitter earlier, but now I can save it for reference! There's some stuff in there that I don't think was in the comics (Nicky was a priest??), plus hints at some extra footage. I hope they release the deleted scenes. The lack of those is the one of the only complaints I have about Netflix films. Give us some dang extras!

Also I am feeling a bit smug that I guessed on the first try which old London pub the group were drinking in at the end of the film. Gotta love googlemaps and its plethora of user-generated photos.

The second volume of the comics concluded on Wednesday and has set up what I expect to be a remarkable third volume as well as a fascinating potential second film. Netflix emailed me today with a list of the top ten titles in Canada and the Old Guard was #1, so I am cautiously holding out hope that we will in fact get at least one more film. I particularly want to see how Greg adapts this second volume, since the film and the comics do differ in several places.

...I might need some new icons.
