Did anyone else find it hilarious... spoilers

The way that Sheriff Chris Mannix talked to and accused Joe Gage? I watched this alone but still found myself laughing out loud at times especially the scene when he said "Or we go by my theory which is the ugliest guy did it. *points gun at Joe* ...Which makes it you, Joe Gage!" Or when Joe Gage confessed about poisoning the coffee and said "I did it. It was me." And the Sheriff responded "I fkn knew it! You're gonna die now you murderin bastard. Major Warren, please let me send this ugly son of a bitch to hell!

I think all in all he was my favorite character especially considering how he redeemed himself later on by denying Daisy's offer.

Loved that line

redeemed himself

he was a violent bastard who hung Daisy and laughed as she struggled

[–] ClassicMacGruber 8 years ago

She was going to hang anyway. They did it for Ruth because Ruth saved them from the blizzard which would have killed them.

And she wasn't a defenseless victim like you're constantly painting her to be. You just assume she is because we never saw her do anything but take a punch. She had a $10,000 bounty on her for a reason and anyone paying attention to the little moments would see that there was something deeply wrong about her.

So? It's not our job to read a backstory before going into the film to see why she's so bad. They never said what she's done, or showed her do anything. She said racist things like everyone else in the movie, but was pinned as a complete punching bag. No one else had the entire focus of the movie them getting abused. Joe got shot, Bob got shot, Jody got shot, Oswaldo got shot. If Daisy got shot and puked on while Ruth died, that's fine, she's treated like the rest. But she was pistol whipped pov close and personal, elbowed in the face, nose broken, puked on, food dumped on, brains showered on her, shot in foot, shot in chest, and pov up close hung by the neck while we watched all of it.
A bit sickening.

Yeah, too much there

I really don't get people pittying Daisy. She had a $10,000 Bounty on her head by authorities. The Authorities don't put a $10,000 bounty on your head unless you have done some very terrible things.

*in the late 1800s.
If you have a $10,000 bounty on your head in 2021, then it's probably because you robbed a Walmart.

Plus it's kind of sexist to treat her differently when the film makes it abundantly clear that she's just as ruthless and scheming as any of the other characters

Right or wrong, Mannix and Warren weren't going to let her live when they were both dying.

So they lynched her, technically illegally, out of respect for Ruth

she was a cold blooded murderer

He had some of the funniest lines.

[–] residentevil6901 8 years ago

Yeah that was good. This movie was a bit of a let down for me so he made it better.

[–] bobbydallas (8523) 3 years ago

Mannix and Warren are the best unlikely duo allies in the history of cinema.

[–] ExTechOp (2770) 3 years ago

Missed this post six years ago, but yeah, 100%

Mannix's fixation on Joe Gage/Grouch Douglas was both funny and, in retrospect, indicative that Mannix was actually a surprisingly spot-on judge of character.

He knew Warren was lying about the letter. He figured out Daisy was lying about her gang in Red Rock. And he knew, from the outset, that "Joe Gage" was a killer.

In fact, I'm finally going through the Netflix extended version, and there's at least one scene early on where Mannix makes it a point to size up "Joe Gage" from the get-go, ostensibly while sharing his brandy.
