nile's anger against andy for the slave trading is like a child angry at a parent for not being perfect, when they turn into teenagers and start seeing them differently. seven thousand years later from nile, you think there might be another generation who is angry at nile for killing at all? different times, different cultures, different standards...on the one hand you can argue a right that's as right yesterday as it is today; on the other, if you assume a timeless, perfect right, and lose all esteem for people who don't fit within it, how do you expect people to grow, as a culture, as an individual? maybe that's one of the hidden analogs of these stories of immortals, the assumption that cultures learn as individuals learn. the individuals are expressions of a desire to see cultures of people as a learning, sentient organism, rather than a random collection of people handed a random set of cultural standards and beliefs.
The story is a 6 at best, which makes volume 1 a 4 and the movie a 1. Great themes but kind of simplistic characterization. The ending is silly and illogical. However, you are an incredible storyteller and the whole experience of these videos is just great! Congratulations
Thank you so much for this videos. I just found your channel...you are doing amazing work and you have a very soothing voice... Keep up the good work ✌️✌️✌️☺️☺️☺️
Ok. How did the youngest member just become leader??? That’s so stupid, if anything she should be the last in command compared to her very competent team members. Also how come the leaders left Andy? This makes no sense -.-
To put things in perspective, Nile is Black. And being that her ancestors were slaves, I can actually understand why she'd feel outraged despite these specific crimes happening 7 thousand years ago. Also, Noriko knew what buttons to press and possibly knew how to manipulate things in her favor. Remember, Andy didn't act the way she did until Nile had to fucking press the matter as a minor suggestion from Noriko. What was Greg Rucka trying to accomplish? This felt more contrived and forced than the woke bullshit we get on Netflix. Oh, wait...
Yeah, this was a bit too contrived for me. Like hell someone who has lived 7000 years is going to be cowed by the moral outrage of a 27 year old who at best saw modern combat. And like hell this group of people who have been together for CENTURIES would up and leave her. It was to move the plot. And I get that. But it was lazy and ham fisted.
The movie makes more sense for why she was trapped in the ocean. Take your clothes off and swim. You might take a few weeks to get the hang of it,but...
As a black man I think that was a little silly to in the end for her to trip out about her having slaves slavery was a worldwide thing back then and actually only recently just started dying off completely
This volume sucks. Everything about it has pretty big plot holes, like you're telling me that in lik 800 years andy mever meet her until just now? The main villan effortlessly found Booker, but couldn't find andy, even though all the cia guy was just google some old newspapers? If the villan really loved andy why did it literally take her so long, you cant just become a kingpin overnight, i could understand her position better if she just finally got out of the ocean found andy and said the world hasnt changed, because technically didnt see how the world changed it just did, ans moreover even during the crusades they had slaves, so why are the other two not siding with andy? Or the fact the youngest took charge not the others who are way older, booker also even lived during slaverly, so like why is no one else saying hey that was the norm, and even any nowadays who said oh I wouldnt do that, you dont know it was prove in multiple studies if someonw from power or society normalizes horrible stuff, we would all mostly likely do it, but back to my main point, andy had a lot of optimize in volume 1 right? So did that all go away? And does being with somone for like thousands of years mean nothing to joe and nikki, who most definitely also had slaves, besides all this Andy spent the entire volume here saving people who would be forced into slavery, so nile outlook is people dont deserve second chances? Like i get it, it stucks to hear that but she is judging andy for something that was down for the social norm, like even now technically if andy didnt have a problem owning people she would care if girls got sold, but she clearly does so how can Nile explain that? Also i can understand why andy right now doesnt want to fight, someone she thought was dead came back, and explained that hey the world hasn't changed at all, which sadly is true in certian regards, so yeah maybe she needed some time to take a brake not total abandonment, this literally is oh you're going through a tuff time, qell suck it up, like bruh what? That's stupid you should try to be there for andy give her a reason to believe in humanity again not push her away proving more then ever people fucking suck, also wasnt andy the one who had all the contacts? XD
There is an anthology volume called Old Guard: Tales Through Time with some one off stories, but the actual third and supposedly final volume hasn’t been published yet.
Hearing your take on slavery, slavery that occurred eons ago notwithstanding, as a black American man descended from enslaved people...extremely disappointing. I hear and read "It was a long time ago, get over it" quite often, from white people, and self-loathing black people, who choose to ignore the long-term consequences of hundreds of years of enslavement. I enjoy your channel, Dan, but this is one fucked-up up take that only a white person (or a very damaged black person/person of color) could come anywhere close to even attempting to excuse or rationalize in any way. I'm not saying Andy can't be reasoned with on the matter, or understood, but goddamn, dude... Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
@@PercyK1ng , I'm certain Danny isn't a bad guy, or racist, but he IS a white man who simply will not understand, not being the descendant of enslaved ancestors. In situations like this, one either gets it, or one doesn't, based upon one's lineage. Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
The problem here its guilting her for thousands of years ago as if it even matters and comes off pretentious Yeah there's a point to get past it than blame endlessly
I will be covering a new book next week. May return to Old Guard once it is further along in the story.
Hellblazer?
How about you put a camera in there instead and set it to record.
Can you please do Luther Strude?
This comic suck
Despite what people think of this comic, your coverage and content is great as normal.
_Being a slave master is not cool._
- Danny Malt 2021
Yeah Andi deserves redemption, it was the way of the times and she was a warlord . Cut her some slack lol
You're a white person, yes?
Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
Yeah it was dumb
@@LavenderJack540
She didn’t enslave Black people. every race has been a slave at some point don’t take it personally.
The trunk latch thing is absolutely true, at least in NA.
nile's anger against andy for the slave trading is like a child angry at a parent for not being perfect, when they turn into teenagers and start seeing them differently.
seven thousand years later from nile, you think there might be another generation who is angry at nile for killing at all? different times, different cultures, different standards...on the one hand you can argue a right that's as right yesterday as it is today; on the other, if you assume a timeless, perfect right, and lose all esteem for people who don't fit within it, how do you expect people to grow, as a culture, as an individual?
maybe that's one of the hidden analogs of these stories of immortals, the assumption that cultures learn as individuals learn. the individuals are expressions of a desire to see cultures of people as a learning, sentient organism, rather than a random collection of people handed a random set of cultural standards and beliefs.
Beautiful interpretation. I never saw it that way but now I can’t unsee it.
You're white, yes?
I'd be genuinely shocked if you weren't, possessing such a privileged perspective.
Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
Yeah. I didn't understand why they were upset over her being a slave master almost 7 thousand years ago. It was pretty silly.
"Certain writers" superimpose their values on their characters.
_They_ would judge someone who owned slaves 7000 years ago, so their characters must.
People tend to forget or never learn how savage the world was. They never realize how good we have it.
You're descended from people who were enslaved for hundreds of years, if you're American...but you don't understand?
Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
Enjoyed vol-1 typing while listening vol-2 , love your hard work Danny , thank you for sharing with us .
I just want to say: I freaking love your channel man!!!
Maybe you can do SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING by Alan Moore or the original JHONN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER comics.
Same request
especially hellblazer
Great nomination
Amazing plot twist at the end 😯
Omg thank god I love this comic series since watching movie.
I hope u continue this series I watched the movie and I looked for books but got the man who introduced me to the boys
I will continue it! Waiting for it to get further along and the second movie to approach its release date.
Can you please cover East of West comics after this series? That comics is so good

Nor do I much care for racial assignment.

thanks Danny!!!
Can't wait for part 2 on Netflix.
Sooooo about returning???
Great story.
I'm with you the ending was kind of weak
How did her head get reattached to her body?
Her body grew back.
There's no Audio for this video for some reason, or maybe it's me?
😂😂😂 the comments.
I like this series
When did this comic come out?
It ended last year as it was delayed due to Covid.
Esta en ingles?
How much more is left?
I’m doing a new book next week. But volume 3 is almost done publishing, 1 more issue I think, and then volume 4 might end the story, not sure.
As a black man I think that was a little silly to in the end for her to trip out about her having slaves slavery was a worldwide thing back then and actually only recently just started dying off completely
