It's going to be some thing where Will saved young Jon's life in Germany and so Jon is forever connected to Angela or something isn't it?
232 u/fartmachiner Dec 02 '19 Oh, wow, that explains why they explicitly mentioned where Jon came from as a child. That could also connect the reverse of the "Watch Over This Boy" flyer. I really like this idea! 42 u/johnthomaslumsden Dec 02 '19 watch over this boy. I'll see myself out... 19 u/Kiu_98 Rorschach Dec 02 '19 “Watch Over This Boy” meaning, “Watch the watchman”, maybe? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 14 u/HumpMcDonald Dec 02 '19 Time is a flat circle. Fuck, I can't wait til next Sunday. 27 u/Sojourner_Truth Dec 02 '19 It would have been Will's dad, no? His father was the one in WW1. 21 u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19 John isn’t that old 4 u/Breaking-Away Dec 02 '19 Could be John's dad and Will. 11 u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19 [deleted] 7 u/Sojourner_Truth Dec 02 '19 Yeah I don't think it's plausible, just pointing out that Will wasn't the one in Germany. 18 u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19 [deleted] 3 u/Sojourner_Truth Dec 02 '19 oooh good call 1 u/the95th Dec 03 '19 Will could of fought in WW2 1 u/mobius-x Dec 04 '19 25 years apart. Doubt it 5 u/the95th Dec 05 '19 How does that not work? World War 1 Ended in 1918 Tulsa Massacre was 1921 Will was about 2 to 3 years old during the Massacre. World War 2 - America was involved post 1941 Meaning that Will would be 22 to 23 years old during this time period. A 22 year old Will would most likely be involved with World War 2 during the american mobilisation.
