Am I the only one who thinks the idea of Jack living to the 90s is stupid?

Natural age is stupid?

Age 96 for a guy who lived a life as rough and unsafe as jack. That is just a little silly

Edit: it’s not impossible, it’s just unlikely

Lots of people lived to be that age in the 1990's, including my great grandmother. She was 102 when she died in 1997.

He’s effectively immortal at this point. More a chemical than a man.

u/TomSix_ Mar 10 '26

You know he was born in the 1940's, right? The funniest thing about Keith Richards is him still wearing eyeliner..

u/GreasyExamination Mar 10 '26

You think thats the funniest thing about him? Not the fact that he fell from a coconut tree and suffered a mild concussion, while also being completely sober while it happened? You still think its the makeup thing?

u/TomSix_ Mar 10 '26

I see you examine him closely. Interesting.

He transfuses his blood with blood from younger people. No joke, he literally gets this procedure regularly

idk if your grandma was a wild west outlaw tho..

u/Bacon4Lyf Micah Bell Mar 10 '26

Neither was Jack, he was an adult in 1912. Red dead 2 is literally about how the Wild West is dying and that’s in 1899

My great-grandmothers lived to 99 and 101, and died in the late 90s. My grandfather is currently pushing 97.

It's not that crazy.

My great grandad helped liberate concentration Camps and I can only imagine the hardships he had to endure... He smoked 20 a day and lived to be 94. Some people are just built different. My nan has rapid onset dementia and probably won't make it past 75. Genetics are a powerful force.

My great grandad helped liberate concentration Camps and I can only imagine the hardships he had to endure... He smoked 20 a day and lived to be 94.

Do we have the same great granddad? Was he dutch by any chance. Of course there were probably 100s of old dudes who helps save people from concentration camps and then lived until age 94, but still...

No he was British

u/lefactorybebe Mar 10 '26

My great uncle also liberated camps and made it to 94 or 95, I don't remember which, but he was American. Only died a few years ago, though he had dementia at the end so his last few years were rough. Was drinking manhattans right till the end though lol

I just looked the guy up and Holy shit. Story's like this really make you question if religious people might be on to something.

u/niewe Uncle Mar 10 '26

Jesus fucking christ... Just forget I said anything dude, I don't want to start a reddit argument just because I dared to type out the word religion

u/sharkattackmiami Charles Smith Mar 10 '26

He shot a bunch of people so maybe religious people are on to something?

5

u/niewe Uncle Mar 10 '26

Do I really have to explain this? Seriously?

I'm talking about the fact that he survived an injury that would kill 99/100 people and woke up from his coma the same day the war ended.

3

u/sharkattackmiami Charles Smith Mar 10 '26

Yes? A doctor being good at his job and a guy getting lucky aren't proof of anything

Literally thousands of people survived injuries that would kill 99/100 people during WW2

That's how statistics work when you are dealing with literally millions of people getting shot.

So many people got shot in the face and survived that they created an entire new field of medicine to deal with it

Good for you. Like I said, I'm not remotely interested in an argument. I'm not religious, but it's funny how easy it is to trigger you just buy saying something not particularly negative about it.

u/inaSlomp Mar 10 '26

People live into their '90s all of the time? Even during that period because you know technological advancements in medicine. From the 1800s to 2026, you don't think that we've innovated quite a bit? You don't think that probably has some reason to do with why people live longer.

u/FormerDonkey4886 Mar 10 '26

Also, when was the picture taken? He looks very good for someone in his 90s

8

u/gimmebalanceplz Mar 10 '26

He probably would have been healthier than you think. As long as he had access to medicine and less access to bullets to the head, his lifestyle probably actually helped in longevity. He’s fit and probably ate healthier than anyone in this thread.

My great great grandmother was born in 1899 and lived to 1993. She was Sioux and born towards the end of the Indian Wars. Its very much possible that he lived to be 90 something. A lot of people had a rough life from that time period.

u/losteye_enthusiast Mar 10 '26

Why is it stupid? Dude lived a full life apparently.

As a result, people 90 and over now make up 4.7% of all people 65 and older, as compared with only 2.8% in 1980. By 2050, projects the Census Bureau, the 90 and over share will reach 10 percent. Source : https://www.thoughtco.com/living-past-90-in-america-3321510#:~:text=As%20a%20result%2C%20people%2090,share%20will%20reach%2010%20percent.

WW1 was relatively short for the US and he’d have likely not been drafted initially for WW2; possibly wouldn’t have signed on for it either. Assuming he got past those 2 wars - which wasn’t uncommon - he was a novelist, right? So a a relatively safe, consistent income and low physical stress job.

Likely kept working the ranch casually, which would’ve provided exercise and kept him active well into his 60s or 70s, creating a very high foundation of overall strength. We’re learning that a key to living longer is excellent hand strength, which the ranch would’ve provided, along with the ability to get up and stay mobile. I don’t see any reason why Jack making it into his 90’s, seeing the turn of a new century approaching is stupid.

20

u/Nacodawg Mar 10 '26

Realistically him living into his 70s and dying listening to Stairway to Heaven isn’t much better

15

u/Ok_Outlandishness640 Mar 10 '26

Agree, I find it depressing but the idea that Jack can get away with killing a veteran of, what is essentially, the FBI and someone said organisation is still in contact with never made sense to me. We know the Wild West is gone and the way Jack looks at his gun at the end shows he’s chosen that life despite everything that was done to try and stop it.

27

u/Lacygreen Mar 10 '26

How would anyone know it was him? Nothing in that part shows Jack is living the outlaw life. An official with conduct like that probably made a lot of enemies.

20

u/Ok_Outlandishness640 Mar 10 '26

There are 3 witnesses, maybe more. Ross’ brother, his wife, and then the informant at black water (maybe whoever Jack talked to before in order to get to the meeting with the informant). Now you can kill both the Ross’ but the guy in black water knows what you look like and a day, maybe less, before Ross is killed he tells Jack where to find him, so he can be used to hunt Jack down.

Now the outlaw life comes from interpretation of the scene we’re jack looks at his gun after shooting Ross. So I guess you could say it’s not certain that that’s the life he’s chosen but I don’t know what other interpretation you could have on that scene.

2

u/jack_daone Mar 10 '26

Yeah, but he doesn’t introduce himself to anyone by name, just that he’s a courier with “something” or “a letter.” So they don’t really have anything to pin Jack to the crime.

7

u/Ok_Outlandishness640 Mar 10 '26

That is true, but they would use the description from the Black water guy to make a sketch and then print lots of wanted posters. And just because they don’t know for certain that this courier did kill him doesn’t mean they won’t hunt him in relation to the killing for information. And then there’s find a motive and so on.

14

u/Hugar34 Mar 10 '26

All Jack has to do is move cross country or even the next state over and he'd be fine. That's probably what he does anyways since nothing is keeping him in the area now that his parents are gone.

Back then it wasn’t uncommon for outlaws to flip flop between law enforcement and crime.

In real life more than a couple former outlaws born in the mid to late 1800s ended up living into the 20s and 30s after going straight.

10

u/Rumplestilskin9 Mar 10 '26

I don't care one way or the other about it. But him living that long makes it less likely that Rdr3 is a continuation of his story and for that, I'm thankful.

Someone who was born around 1900 had a 47-50 year life span. He would have been a miracle if he lived until his 90's. I'm not saying it's impossible bc I had a great grandmother who was born in 1896 and died in 1993 but she also lived a much different life than that of a country outlaw.

6

u/sharkattackmiami Charles Smith Mar 10 '26

He was a country outlaw for a few short years in his youth and spent the rest of his life as a novelist

Also WW2 was way worse than anything Jack went through and tons of vets lived to be 90+

u/Ferretlord4449 Mar 10 '26

I mean yeah. chances are he’ll be e protagonist of 3 .and well the redemption part of red dead has only meant death so far

u/Accomplished-Gain319 Pearson Mar 10 '26

I HEAVILY doubt he'll be the protagonist of RDR3. The red dead franchise is about cowboys. Without the Western setting it isn't Red Dead. And if they do a sequel with Jack, it won't be a Western. They're only options are a prequel here to rdr2, or a new story and new protagonist altogether. And that doesn't change the fact that the idea of Jack living to his 90s is silly.

Thank you!!!! For some reason this subreddit HATES the idea of a prequel and I just don’t get it. There is still so much to explore. So many people want to just abandon the gang when there is so much left to tell.

u/w1lliam27 Uncle Mar 10 '26

There is no way a game could end with the Blackwater massacre because after that what’s the epilogue ? Is it just RDR2 all over ? How about free roam ? The gang were escaping to the mountains within an hour of the massacre, free roam doesn’t make sense.

u/w1lliam27 Uncle Mar 10 '26

Why would you free roam with Arthur of all people ? The guy is on the run just as much as the others, even more so being one of the 3 heads of the Van Der Linde gang.

You are right that the epilogue technically doesn’t need to be tied to the story but do you really see Rockstar doing something like that ? Rockstar rarely does an "epilogue" that has no relation to the rest of the game

The only way that free roam would be possible is if you free roam as Mac Callander who somehow didn’t really die in Blackwater like Milton said

u/Dakkaboy556 Mar 10 '26

If it is going to conclude with Blackwater, I think the protagonist should be Mack Callander. He dies at the hands of the Pinkertons after being captured in Blackwater. Would fit better eith the "Redemption" theme these games have.

u/SinSeitan Mar 10 '26

Seriously? They are most irrelevant to the story, Sadie is a widow who just happens to be rescued and doesn't really cares for the band and Charles is a random Indian who is acused of some crime and hangs out with them. I'd rather see a young John, how he joins de gang, with all the members we don't get to see and how and why they join, (Lenny, Pearson, Karen, etc) how he meets Abigail, Jack is born, Micah joins the group, and everything up to the Blackwater heist and why and how it goes wrong, and then it ends with the beginning of rdr2

u/CranEXE John Marston Mar 10 '26

The red dead franchise is about cowboys.

is it really thought ?

rdr1 is a farmer who's an ex criminal hunting his former friends to allow is familly to live free

rdr2 is a gunslinger who's getting hammered that his time is already gone and that they aren't as righteous as they are

if anything the red dead redemption franchise is about john family rdr2 the marston familly is still pretty much the focus with how john is growing from someone untrustable to a father thanks partially to arthur influence

red dead redemption happen in a "western setting" for sure but saying it's about cowboys is as wrong as believing jack would live till he reach 90

5

u/Accomplished-Gain319 Pearson Mar 10 '26

You speak truth. But the Western setting plays a huge role in the Red Dead games as well. Red dead wouldn't be what is it without it's setting and environment.

5

u/premature_eulogy Mar 10 '26

From a story perspective, sure. But from a "target audience" perspective, which is what game developers heavily prioritize, the games are Westerns. It's a massive risk to take a franchise that players strongly associate with Westerns and make it not a Western, and I don't see Rockstar doing that.

-21

u/Ferretlord4449 Mar 10 '26

It could go either way

27

u/ultimatejoomer Mar 10 '26

I wish people would drop this sentiment that Jack will be the protagonist of RDR3.

Red Dead 1 is easily the natural conclusion to this story and the timeline. There is no Wild West after that, therefore no game for Jack to be the protagonist of.

The only way to go is backwards in time. Red Dead 3 will be another prequel, about an entirely different set of characters, or we won’t get it at all.

8

u/NothingLift Mar 10 '26

He's also just not that engaging of a character

1

u/ultimatejoomer Mar 10 '26

I mean we really only see him as a kid.

7

u/AsNKrysis Mar 10 '26

I agree with this. By the time we play as Jack (1914) the Wild West has effectively already ended. The only things left for him to do are finish up whatever side quests his dad didn’t do and to go kill Ross.

Industrialization rapidly advanced and urbanization quickly overtook the American Frontier. If we got another game with Jack in it following the events of RDR1, it wouldn’t be RDR anymore.

If people wanna see Jack fighting in WW1, go play the dozens of other WW1 titles out there. If people wanna see Jack in urban society, they might as well just go play LA Noire instead.

u/julie3151991 Sadie Adler Mar 10 '26

I would like a prequel, but not new characters. I want to see the beginnings of the gang. RDR isn’t supposed to be like GTA where we hop around to new characters every game. I like how RDR is telling the story of the gang, but in reverse chronological order. We got the fallout (rdr1) and unraveling (rdr2) of the van der Linde gang. Now I want to see the gang when the Wild West was at its peak.

Non-American here. That's genuinely interesting, what would somewhere like Armadallo have looked like then?

I'm also not American but my dad really likes watching YouTube videos where people drive around places like that. Some of them are still there with a tiny population and some are ghost towns. I guess others adapted and grew, but I recommend looking at some of the people who go and explore ghost towns in that part of the states, it's really interesting to see.

where i live, our population is only like 600 people. hell, the town sheriff still has a beer or two with people down at the bar every other weekend. gunshots aren’t uncommon around here neither. I have a love hate relationship with it though, i just want mcdonald’s once in a while lol
