Edgar Ross is perhaps THE main antagonist of the Red Dead Redemption games, his twisted games ensnare John Marston and force him to hunt down his former allies. In today's video, we'll be answering a simple question: was Edgar Ross a hero or villain, was he good or was he evil? The answer will be simple... surely?

    Edgar Ross had the most poetic of deaths: Jack met him by a river and Jack kills him by a river. Ross basically ruined the boy's life yet 110% never saw it coming.
  • @jaymac7203
    Jack definitely should've said "enjoy your fishing" after shooting Ross lol
  • @John.McMillan
    Milton was right for what he did, Ross was just an outlaw with a badge. If it was Milton instead of Ross in RdR1, I'm certain John would have been left alone if being constantly monitored for a while (parole, basically). Ross was genuinely just vindictive and used any excuse he could to do what he wanted.
  • i love the sarcasm in Fizhys voice when he says "that sounds like a lovely retirement i sure hope nothing bad happens to him and then it immediatly cuts to adult jack marston meeting Ross
  • @QuicklyFreeze
    using a man's wife and kid as blackmail is another realm of evil
  • @channel45853
    While Ross being in 2 is fan service, it also serves the purpose of getting the player to think like Arthur and distrust Milton and his deal, considering the deal made in Red Dead Redemption 1 panning out like it did.
  • @FTChomp9980
    Jack Martson:"U killed my father prepare to die."
  • @theriddler5601
    Andrew Milton can best be described as having a dividing mindset while Edgar Ross has a conquering one. This lore fuels the reputation of these products so thank you Fizhy!
  • @iceman1287
    To this day, I still wonder why John was getting off a boat at the beginning of RDR1.
  • Ugh love the parallelism. An armed Edgar Ross meets a somewhat helpless Jack while hes out fishing, then the next time they meet an armed Jack marston meets a somewhat helpless Edgar while hes out fishing
  • Ross is far worse than Milton. Imagine if he Milton was killed early, at the Jack fishing or at Horseshoe Overlook. Imagine Arthur dealing with Ross more. Kidnapping his ex wife….
  • @Edax_Royeaux
    33:40 No I doubt Edgar Ross claimed credit for killing Dutch. The whole point of getting John's gun to do it was so that it looked like Dutch was betrayed by a fellow gang member so Dutch wouldn't be some anti-government martyr for yet more people to rally around. Ross still gets credit for spearheading the operation that wiped out Dutch's Tall Trees Gang.
  • @pghchaos
    Fizhy video drop when I'm having a bad day? Just what I needed. My mood immediately improved!
  • Edgar ross is evil. The morally gray one is milton. He didn't take Arthur because jack was there and he gave Dutch ample time to surrender in chapter 3. But he shot at them in lakay knowing jack was there, and took abigal hostage. Overall he was as good as his job allowed him to be though
  • @Retro77691
    He works at 7/11 now i saw him last week
  • The missions with ross in rdr1 are pretty enjoyable. To listen to john and ross hating eachother through conversation was really fun to listen to
  • Blackmailing a former outlaw who is trying to erase the past then killing him afterwards is another form of pure evil 😭
  • @Lesinator
    From any point of view except the protagonists, Edgar Ross is the good guy. It’s just that we always play an outlaw and he’s very much a lawman. Dutch killed that innocent girl and caused a massacre in Blackwater, and John took the gold the only thing left for Ross to chase after.
