    Javier isn’t Jack’s father. Pearson’s picture of the gang has Jack as a baby already and Javier hadn’t joined the gang yet
  • @chikowashere
    Strange Man has a YouTube channel, best RDR2 channel on the site. It includes every bit of conspiracy theory information that you could ever want and then some. He debunks theories and even presents new ones, all while uncovering secret information about the game. I definitely recommend it.
  • @Fluttermoth
    The weirdest thing about Francis Sinclair, is that that baby ISN'T a baby! With the help of mods, it's been found that the 'baby' is actually a doll! Why, or what this means, I have no idea, but it does explain why Francis's 'mother' isn't surprised by all those strange drawings on her wall!
  • @Maximusraderzz
    I don’t think he just shot her tho I believe because how it’s discussed that he may have shot her constantly or he made her suffer in some way before he shot her because Arthur says Dutch shot a woman “in a bad way”
  • @estebanperez1345
    You mention the Eiffel Tower as something futuristic but it was built in 1889, meaning people then would’ve known about it, not just futuristic people
  • Though he has the same facial hair has Javier, I would say Jack actually looks more like Dutch which is an interesting possibility
  • @mrmemes170
    red harlow is mentioned in rdr2, so revolver is a tale, but a canon tale, so your playing as a storybook character in revolver
  • @anandhushaji149
    I think the Strange Man might be the personification of Death that only John can see at the moment. I think the whole “I seem to know you” line might be referring to the amount of deaths John has caused. Just a thought, and not sure if it’s true.
  • @TannerRayburn
    1:30 this would be a cool theory if it weren’t for the fact that Rockstar San Diego devs said that Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Revolver aren’t in the same universe. Though the universe could be in a book written by Jack. Rockstar San Diego was previously Angel Studios which did most of the developing of Red Dead Revolver, until it was at a halt and Rockstar bought the company and paid to help finish the game. They aren’t the same universe, but that could mean that the universe is in a book.

    Gavin ran off to search for treasure and changed his name to Seth.
  • @potatosalad6699
    When I first played RDR2 I thought Josiah Trelawny was the Strange Man because they dressed the same but the voices didn’t match up. But also what if the Strange man is a ghost from someone the gang killed in Black Water?
  • @challenger9520
    There's no way he's John's son he looks just like him.
  • @katethegreat26
    The strange man is definitely Satan or at least a demon. I also always thought the blind man you encounter and can be kind to is similar, but benevolent. Like that song “What if God was One of Us”. He’s like an Angel, testing you.
