of wolf! and man!

what's so fun about Lalo is that he doesn't seem to think things through at all. nor does he even attempt to minimize the damage he does. he killed that guy at the travelwire because it was slightly more convenient for him, he killed howard for pretty much the same reason. howard hadnt even really seen anything yet, he just happened to be there. instead of coming up with some fake story to get him to leave, or just restraining him along with kim and jimmy, he just thinks "nah, easier if he dies now". his callousness is kind of unmatched tbh. other cartel guys kill for actual reasons, like revenge, to gain respect, to make money. lalo just does it because a. He can. and b. its less work. when he gets arrested, he first grabs his gun but puts it back when he sees more cops, because he can take on 2 cops no problem, but more? thatll be a hassle, so he'll just go quietly instead. when he's following mike and he pulls into the parking lot and he does the thing with the chewing gum and the ticket, lalo is stuck behind some random guy, and first he just yells at the guy, but when he realizes thats not working he just . fucking floors it into that guys car, through the gate and onto the street. where he can no longer see mike, so kind of just for nothing. extremely goal driven behavior

yeah “we’ll carry on” or whatever but it’s getting real difficult out here man :(

I talk about my chemical romance in the same way that teenage girls in the 60s talked about the beatles

With Bob Bryar dead I think all of you need to have a fucking read of that statement he put out a couple years back.

One way to look at the Red Dead series is that the 2nd game is a classic western while the 1st game is a spaghetti western.

The 2nd game starts off with a more friendly, happy environment. Despite the gang committing crimes, they’re presented as a tight-knit family that gets to have fun every now and then. For example, Arthur and Lenny getting drunk at the bar. As the game continues, it slowly turns into a more harsh, unforgiving environment. Gang members start dying left and right and that feeling of comfort you had with your gang family disappears.

So, when Arthur dies and John takes over, the age of the classic western ends and the age of the spaghetti western begins.

That’s why RDR1 is pure grit and sadness from beginning to end. Even if you never played RDR2, there’s a feeling of despair and loneliness that permeates throughout the game. John, compared to Arthur, is bitter and more ruthless. John is the more morally grey protagonist, especially during the Mexico arc where he showed a lack of empathy towards either side of the revolution.

There’s a YouTube comment that I think perfectly summarizes this. Arthur Morgan is a John Wayne cowboy since even though he can do awful things, he’s generally presented as a hero trying to do right by his loved ones. John Marston is a Clint Eastwood cowboy since he tows the line between good and bad. Even though you like him since he wants to do right by his family, he’s incredibly ruthless and more inclined to commit violence than Arthur was. What also makes this comparison works is that it fits with the change in the eras; John Wayne represented the early classic westerns while Clint Eastwood represented the spaghetti westerns that premiered afterwards.
