If Fathers Day was a competition in the video game world, John Marston would just about shade out Ethan Mars because while chopping off some of your finger is pretty damn impressive, theres just something about murderising a bear to save your idiot son which just ticks all the many boxes. Fighter, lover, hunter and ass-kicker extraordinaire, Marston cuts an impressive swathe through the American Old West while wearing a glorious hat and possessing a face so rugged you can actually light matches from it. Haunted by his past but willing to make amends, his quest sees him take down a small countrys worth of bandits, duel with aplomb and hunt enough animals to give PETA a class-A nightmare, his story is nothing short of spectacular in both drama and sheer manliness. The fact he sacrifices himself after murdering most of the Bureau of Investigation to make sure his wife and son get away just makes his manly legacy all the more impressive. When alls said and done, theres just something to admire about a man whos so formidable he can actually bend time to his will to pick his shots. Such an ability deserves near-constant praise.
