The horse from Shadow of the Colossus, Agro. You really feel for that horse when it falls down during the last Colossi, and the main characters shouts his name . Sad, so sad. Oh man, the feels. That scene was even sadder for me because it made me remember the scene with the horse in Neverending Story (the horse dies of fucking depression , you can't go much lower than that on a kids' movie). And hey, spoiler tags! Yeah, I didn't like Bonnie either. Actually, I barely remember any of the characters in RDR; I felt all of them looked like stereotypes vaguely homaging different western movies, so none of them made an impression on me, except maybe for Marston himself. I like the game, but its writing was not my thing - not bad, but not too memorable either.

I liked Bonnie MacFarlane from Red Dead Redemption. Marston should have left his wife for her. That would change the title from "Redemption" and destroy the character arc.

Bonnie would have been right there with him, man. Fighting the good fight! Or something. Listen, Bonnie was the right woman is all I'm saying.

And yes, most characters from RDR are forgettable, even the main antagonist. I almost forgot who was the bad guy.

Listen, Bonnie was the right woman is all I'm saying. But she's generic, nothing special. A great supporting character should be unique.

The five minute ban has now expired. I feel like we all learned a valuable lesson here today. Crime does not pay.
Thank you.

Listen, Bonnie was the right woman is all I'm saying. That might be true. But the whole point is John is trying to redeem himself with his family and trying to put things right in his life. Dumping his wife and son for a woman with a ranch wouldn't go with that character arc.

Dumping his wife and son for a woman with a ranch wouldn't go with that character arc. I thought the point was that he had to do all that stuff because the government had taken his family hostage. If Marston had any balls he'd show the government the finger and settle down with Bonnie on the ranch, protect it from fires, broken fences, and whathaveyous. But maybe I'm spoiling the plot of Red Dead 2.

You see what you have become Dan? You hated autocracy and mad men in power, but now you have become exactly what you were trying to fight.

You hated autocracy and mad men in power, but now you have become exactly what you were trying to fight. Listen, I love free speech. I'm a big free speech guy. In a way, I'm probably the biggest supporter of free speech. But what Balder said just wasn't acceptable. I mean, I've always said it, you can look back and see Oh, Dan E. Kool has been really consistent, but you have to have Law and Order. So you have freedom of speech, total freedom, so important, but with that freedom, you know, they say it all the time, "With great freedom comes great responsibility." And so we have great freedom. But you have to be responsible.
