In the pinned post on this community I said I was no expert on the genre and just a casual fan who wanted to share the few Weird West works I’ve found. I tried to drag this out as long as I could and keep the community active by only posting one thing each day but I’ve finally run out of things to post. You’re still welcome to post here if you want, but I expect this community will just sit idle with no one actively trying to post content anymore.

I could try posting random things that almost kind of look Weird West, but I’d rather not. Otherwise, I’ll end up posting things like Priest. Priest takes place in a cyberpunk future dominated by the Catholic church and under constant threat of vampire attacks. But if you leave the cyberpunk city, suddenly it’s the Wild West. There’s no explanation given as to why everyone dresses and talks like it’s the Wild West as soon as you leave the futuristic cyberpunk city. But Karl Urban plays the villain, a vampire named Black Hat. So that’s pretty great.

It’s a fun movie as long as you don’t question anything. And it’s a Weird West as long as you ignore all the cyberpunk stuff. See, that’s the best I’ve got and it’s a quite a stretch.

If I come across any other Weird West content I’ll be sure to post it here, but I’m not going to force myself to come up with something every day. I just wanted to make this post to let everyone know this community is about to get a lot quieter. Thanks!

    You got us off to a good start. It may get quieter here for a while, but you have taken the first and most important step of establishing a community and spreading the word. Even if it’s not active daily or whatever, it’s already a nice little archive of Weird West content for people who are interested.
