5-6 armed natives are approaching your house.
A- You tell your wife and kids to run out the back and before they get an head start, you run out in the open shooting at the natives.
B- You stay in the house and shoot at the natives from cover. If you are a decent shot, you can kill some if not all of them. It will also buy more time for your family to escape as the native are busy trying to shoot you.
Exactly what I thought. Maybe barricade yourself inside the house as well. That was a complete nonsense, he just went Kamikaze on those natives.
shareThat dumbass pulled a Leroy Jenkins instead of staying in cover and protecting his family.
shareCan you explain the Leroy Jenkins reference? Yeah that was such a dumb move. He probably would have been killed anyway but shoot from inside the house FFS.
shareLeroy Jenkins is video game player from a famous Youtube video made some years ago. he ran head first into enemy territory and got his entire team killed in the process

I played the crap out of that game, even joined Leeroys server and talked to him a few times. This was when I was like 14. 12 years later it’s funny seeing some random dude on the internet bring it up
shareOdd that that article makes it sound ambiguous as to the authenticity of the video. It was all an act.

In trying to rationalize his actions the only thing I could come up with was that he knew they would set the house ablaze if he were inside, but that is tenuous reasoning at best.
shareYeah it was kinda crazy. And also, seeing him scalped, two children shot and a BABY shot and killed all within 5 minutes?? Where do you go from there?
Then the scene after opens with a native family screaming while they corner the dad/husband and drag him away. Too grim from the start and felt like it was trying too hard.
Haven't seen it but you'd think back then that any member of the family that could carry a fire arm would be shooting at the people trying to attack you as well.
shareDespite liking the movie, I have to completely agree.
On first appearance, husband says, “They’re coming.” What does that tell you? That they’ve already discussed it. That they know they’re “coming for the horses.” And so I wondered, not five minutes in ...
What was the plan?
I ask that a lot these days — generally to resounding silence.
The fact that people make dumb decisions does not give a screenwriter license to give up thinking things through.
Good point ... but I don't think it would have ended up any different. They would have just set the cabin alight and and watched them burn or shot them as they came out. Living to far away from a town is a bad idea. I am just about halfway through this and finding it a pretty good movie ... but you are right about how that scene was blocked.
