@@theswordofaces1222I realize this is an old post, but in case you never got your answer, according to Adrian Paul, Stan was in unbearable pain due to a botched neck surgery. Still sad, but better than thinking he was just depressed and gave up on life.
@@somerandomdude6377 Thanks for clearing that up. To be honest with you, I had mostly forgotten about it, and didn't think to look it up. I wonder what happened that he needed the surgery...
Why a tard would be immortal anyway? Imagine if he were one of 2 immortals left in the world and the other one should chase him down to win the prize by absorving his retardness.
I hate that Richie got written off the show. Richie was Mac's legacy, just like Dick Grayson is Batman's legacy. When proteges fail to live up to their mentors, I feel like it makes the mentor look bad. Mac is a great teacher, just like Batman is. So Richie should have become The One, or at least, close to it, just like Nightwing should have become the supreme crime-fighter. He definitely shouldn't have gotten beheaded.
@@elaine-fi8cj Well, he died essentially risking his life to save Mac. And he clearly showed in that episode how much he'd grown as a man, I think. He basically believed in Mac when nobody else did and tried to make sure that he wouldn't face his greatest challenge alone. Plus, through Richie we were able to see a lot of Mac's better characteristics. I don't know, I really hate that he got killed off.
@@kforcer He was a supporting cast member that got written off because 1. Season 6 budget cuts 2. The actor was supposed to be playing a biological 19 year old and was almost 30. 3. The audience preferred Mythos as a supporting character over Richie and there was even audience push for a Mythos and Dawson spin-off. Side note: The writers instead wanted a female spinoff and half of season 6 was them trying out different female characters. None of them saw much viewer interest so the writers then chose Amanda who was an established character. She had her own show that lasted all of 1 season due to low interest. There is a fine line between writing your story instead of pandering to the audience AND shoving shit down people`s throat and the creators of the show kind of missed it with the female lead nonsense.
Even though richie is not one of my favorites I still love him I was sad that his character was killed off in season 5 and sad that stan had passed away 😄😀🙂😥😢
@@MikeLutton fans of Richie have created an alternate timeline in which Mac sees Richie, Richie speaks as himself, and Mac recognizes and doesn't take Richie's head which leaves Richie still roaming the streets in 2023.
i see u are trying to make it in order but u got this one wrong 10:30 this fight is happening after the fight between richie and duncan 13:30 which means duncan is the one responsible for richie killing his friend at 10:30

Me too, but there's a good reason for it. The first sword McLeod gives Richie is the same sword Richie tried to steal in the pilot episode. It's symbolic as Richie finally earned that sword.

I wanna know how long this joke of unimmortal can stand against Conner/Ramirez/Kurgan/Katana/Kane/Kell ? Ritchie is one of the worest of them! There can be only one but not technically inferior. But lets be fair, in 500 or 600 years when he train a lot.

I was so sad when I heard Kirch had killed himself/died. We forget that actors are amazing in front of a camera but life still affects them.
Ritchie should have been given his own series like Amanda was
The episode with Mikey always kills me.

Rest in Peace, Stan aka Richie.
Any information about his suicide?
Holy shit, I completely forgot Richie killed the dude from breaking bad and Dutch van derlin …. Boy should’ve went to Tahiti
I love the great sword fight choreography. Waiting for your opponent to make a mistake and then you can strike.
Even though richie is not one of my favorites I still love him I was sad that his character was killed off in season 5 and sad that stan had passed away 😄😀🙂😥😢
When he killed Richie it killed me and u can see how bad it fucked with Duncan's mind
Richie won his first fight a week to a month becoming immortal took his first head a ew months later.
Still think it sucks that they got Richie that Kickass Bastard Sword and ended up killing him without him ever really using it
As it was hard enough on screen to look at Highlander, Stan's death made it even more difficult get back into.
to me Richie Ryan is stil Out there with his Sword
in the alternate timeline, he is

Well, that's life !!
So thats why he wasn't in the movie. Did Mcloud get revenge.
When I saw the fight with Sheena Easton it was a lot shorter. All of that talking between them was cut out. Maybe to play more commercials.
i see u are trying to make it in order but u got this one wrong 10:30 this fight is happening after the fight between richie and duncan 13:30 which means duncan is the one responsible for richie killing his friend at 10:30
RIP. I hate that they killed off his character .
All of Richie's kills in San Francisco were ultimately Mac's fault. That's part of why Mac refused to go after Richie for killing Alec.
Je ne savais pas, c'est bien triste...

It always bugged me that Macleod trained Richie with a katana, but then gives him a completely different style of sword.

@@Bardim18 the sword that richie stole resembled a bit the toledo salamanca although its not the same model but its the thought that counts
@@averagejoker7623 I've checked it and it's the same exact sword.
Should have came down to Duncan and Ritchie.
wait... Duncan kills richie?! i thought he was still alive he dies?! My life is a lie.
It was an accident. Mac mistook Richie for the demon that disguised itself as Richie, Cronos, and James Horton.
