      Yeah but what is he going to do for that long? He’s not going to try to win some woman’s heart being that he’s an outlaw. He’s not going to have someone be a threat to him given his comedic demeanor would be ruined. So idk what story you could tell. He can’t just ride around from bar to bar for an hour.

    What's interesting is that while Buster goes in ostensibly asking for a drink, he leaves without taking one, which makes us wonder about his motivations here. Notice how he escalates the situation so that it has to become violent and how cheerful he is about the fact. Buster Scruggs is portrayed as the good guy both through his narrative, white clothes and the comic dust but the reality is something different. He's a merciless killer who takes joy in provoking violence, which he is expertly able to inflict.

      This movie truly SUCKS, imho, except for the first 15 minutes. Scruggs was dead by then and the entire movie was thoroughly depressing & anticlimactic from that point on. The title of the movie is misleading as it makes you think the entire movie is about Buster, but it's not. A HUGE disappointment. Buster was an amazing character and could have easily carried the entire movie but the writer killed him off in the first 15 minutes. Dumbass move if you ask me.

    I actually love the little foreshadowing in this scene. The first and most obvious is that he kills the first guy by shooting him in the head just like what happens to him later.
    The second one though is when he talks about the last person crawling out of the bar. We just think it is funny how he'll leave him to the dessert critters but he mentions it being sloppy shooting on his part. Hinting at maybe he isn't as good as he used to be and there is room for someone to overtake him. This was such a good story and character.

      No, he wanted whiskey. They started the confrontation. There are a number of reasons why he left without drinking, one of which is that taking the whiskey after shooting the barman dead would make him a thief. And Buster Scruggs is not a liar, coward, or thief.

      @@jadedandbitter I hadn't thought of that! I think that's one reason why Buster Scruggs is such a complex and interesting character. He is labelled a misanthrope and seems to sell us this idea that he does have a very low opinion of humanity all together since they all seem brutish and violent. But for Buster, I think that equally he tries to live by his own moral code and honor - he surrenders his pistols even though he could have kept the concealed ones and never kills anyone who isn't threatening to kill him first. Yet, his gleeful abandon at taking delight in such encounters doesn't put him quite at "honorable" imo.

Don't get me wrong I love this character and if they had of made a full length film about him it probably would have been incredible. But part of this short films appeal is that he is such a BIG, OVER THE TOP character and you only get a little time with him. It is overwhelming in almost every aspect but it's complete. Any of the questions you could really ask about him are more or less answered by his actions. He wouldn't seek settling down with a wife because he loves the gunslinger/singer lifestyle, he is honorable at least by his code which he won't break, he is fair, he is clearly not a pushover, he is actually happy with his life and lifestyle, he wants to be the best or to die with honor in pursuit of being the best. After seeing this I would hate seeing some buster Scruggs "mismatched/forced partnership that starts rocky but then they become best friends" buddy cop crap or some pointless origin story or, ugggh, a buster Scruggs romcom......🤮

      I think Buster Scruggs is more Chaotic Order than lawful anything. He went into the bar, disrupting; ordering the chaos in line. He was disrespected. So he murdered just about everyone with smile, opening the door letting the guy get away. Broke the 4th wall. Didnt even get his whiskey, that he asked for because he killed the bartender. Despite that there was also whiskey on the table of the guys he gunned down. It was a structure to his chaos.

Buster Scruggs drops the cheerful singing cowboy of Roy Rogers movies into bloodthirsty spaghetti western territory, and is totally awesome. I desperately want a full sequel.
