Hey idk if I've asked already but do you have headcanons for Janine and Egon's age? Do they even have canon age?
Iiiit’s complicated
You see, Egon is never really given a number. Ramis was 40 at the time GB 1 came up, but Egon always seemed to me like he was in his mid thirties, however there isn’t really any kind of marker for it, so it could really be either (I recall someone telling me that Jeff Goldlum was considered for the role of Egon at some point and he was in his early 30′s at the time, so I feel my view that he’s 30-something validated)
RGB Egon would be in his early 30′s as the series is progressing based on how in ExGB (Which takes place in 97 or 98) he’s barely gonna turn 40 but you most likely can’t take that as an indicator for Prime Egon because RGB characters are generally coded as being younger than their movie counterparts (One episode even gives us the indication that Ray was born either in 58 or 59, and considering that he and the guys would probably be of around the same ages in order to have been in college together, that means they’d all be in their late 20′s and early 30′s in RGB… but it’s from the latter seasons so take it as a grain of salt).
Janine, on the other hand has had a very clear age indicator at least in IDW comics.
Placing her birth-date around 1960 for that universe. Which makes her 24-ish in GB1 (Yyyyeah, I’m not sure how I feel about this). I’d buy that a bit easier in RGB tbh, but whatever.
I feel like this was no help at all but I hope it did give you an idea of what the approximate ages should be.
