Ah, there you are DryGoods... it's Time again for You Know What.

Overwatch 2's McCree (who is now named Maclunkey according to Rubellavator) with a full Ultimate Meter and all skills off cooldown against Roland Deschain from Book 4 after reaching Emerald City but switching to a Ruger since Randall Flagg cursed his Revolvers to misfire. Another Dual at High-Noon. Who would win?

Dogs, on the other hand, can connect with that pathos.
first off, Ruger never produced a .44 automatic. so it's a Fantasy gun and i can't give an accurate accounting except by guessing how a .44 Mark III would work

however, you have to understand that Roland is a Gunslinger. and a Gunslinger is similar to a Western Knight. there's Honor and Code to a Gunslinger. but also equal parts Efficiency and Real World Gunwork to win in battle. Roland is still a Soldier and incredibly Focused. consider Tull, those townspeople weren't in control. Roland still, without a pause, murdered every one of them and never really regretted it.

all of this is saying that Roland with an unmastered, extra-dimensional weapon, against a Dangerous, Unknown Foe, in a Ritualized Combat Setting...would 100% Cheat. the reader is told Roland has no Imagination, but you're also shown his excellent Strategic Planning. he would approach that Duel with some distraction or placed explosives to give him the edge over McCree. Roland isn't just a Gun For Hire. he's the King's Son, and trained to Lead and Outmaneuver

DryGoods isn't wrong here, Roland only became a Gunslinger because he cheated by sending his falcon on a suicide run to claw out Cort's eye as their duel began

then he went into town and hosed a whore and didn't regret it, but he did regret the beating his dad gave him for it

Thank you for once again a well thought out and beautifully constructed analysis, as I've come to expect of you. And yes, it's hard to find any flaws with your point of view. I wouldn't even dare. How would I start? You correctly Identified the Fantastical Nature of the Gun and while it is an Unknown Quantity in the Match-Up, ultimately the Gun is but an Extension of the Gunslinger. There is Honor in Combat, but the Highest Honor is Winning and Roland understands this better than anybody. It's possible the Hawk from his childhood might make an appearance, holding TNTs explosives, to drop on McCree (Maclunkey) unawares. Again, Bravo! :tipshat:

i was in high school when a friend recommended me this movie and i picked it up to watch with my older brother and that was a mistake. we shut it off when the cool gay stuff happened. idk which of us was more embarassed at the time. i think my bro still makes homophobic (not related to the movie) "prepare to get buttraped" jokes in games when the enemy gets difficult or a boss shows.

Used to do arenas in WoW who started every match with "aight guys let's RAPE these kids" and uh yeah

oh my gosh bro first of all spoilers second of all Roland's revolvers only misfire against Flagg because their kas are intertwined and the revolvers are from Mid-World not cuz they're cursed third of all Roland is cursed to repeat his quest until he realizes that reaching the top of the tower is meaningless so he can't be killed until then and would of course win no matter what weapon he was using jeez

what if McCree is channeling high noon and also is being boosted by mercy

Is able to charge his shot enuff to kill Roland before Roland fully remembers the face of his father and kills him with his heart

It's okay because he wrote himself as a pathetic alcoholic


also I really hope the rumors are true and Pedro Pascal is Roland in the series
I need a good adaptation please

i’ve been thinking about reading the dark tower series, the whole connective mythos has always been interesting. the series written over such a long time made me hesitant that his vices may have made getting through it a slog

it's really good, at least the first 4 books are some of the best he's ever written.
The 3 post-van accident are controversial but the overall story is still very good and in hindsight, very satisfying even though initially everything feels like a punch in the stomach
