How high are you right now OP?

>being some dumb moralfag instead of just shooting his ass nice and simple

Who cares he's an old fart that could die at any minute, might as well put a few bullets inside him and his whole family.

>Not getting the ending

Seriously how did you not get it?

>Can't disarm him.
That's not the point. Despite all he struggled for, John's son grew up to be just like his father, and kills a prestigious lawman. There's tragedy in that.

They fucked up by making it a tragedy instead of a happy ending. Contrary to edgy belief, tragic endings are not inherently superior

Tragic endings tend to be more nuanced than "and they all lived happily ever after." No, they're not right for every story, but given that the driving force of life is struggle, any truly honest story can be a tragic one, depending on where you choose to end it.

>Shitty "I'm morally superior to you!" ending
It's a game in the Old West, that would so so incredibly out of place. Jack getting revenge is the best possible way it could have ended.

John getting killed fit the theme of the Old West dying. A happily-ever-after ending wouldn't have worked.
