@@psychojoe4764 ​ @Psycho Joe True that, but at the given time Doc still had a good bit of health and life was well worth staying alive. But the point is well taken, a drawn out agonizing death, verses a blaze of glory, with a good or bad outcome has a strong appeal.

Doc and Ringo had 3 encounters. In the first Doc was drunk and Ringo was sober and had his gun out. In the second Ringo was drunk and Doc was sober and had his gun out. In the third they were both sober, guns holstered but when they drew Doc was faster just like Curly Bill warned Ringo. And in each encounter Doc always had the last word. Powerful movie and powerful actors, all of them.

[@aprildannettegosa5381]

@@caseyjoanz Wyat Earp was not supposed to be bad i do not believe nor do i see Doc has bad now Johnny Ringo he was evil

[@caseyjoanz]

April Dannette Gosa -Wyatt Earp, as a lawman, was supposedly tough enough to intimidate the criminals he was known for bringing to justice, though Russell doesn’t show him as tough in anyway more than a Disney-trained actor in Tombstone. But Doc Holliday, both the man and the character played by Val Kilmer, was a noted gunfighter and killer, also known as a card shark, thief and hustler/con man.. Even Ringo was fairly reluctant to confront him and only taunted him when drunk or fought him when enraged beyond his better judgement. The friendship between Holliday and Earp was hard to understand and every movie on the actual events tries to explain how Wyatt Earp could tolerate a friend who was such an unapologetic outlaw. In Tombstone, when Kilmer says Ringo reminds him of himself, he adds, “Now I know I hate him!” He can explain the depth of Ringo’s anger and contempt to Earp because he feels the same way. He (Doc) also hates the world just for being born. He and Ringo are almost doppelgängers. They showed it as they verbally dueled in Latin. They lived on the same level of rage.

There’s only one thing worse that a man with unlimited resources. What’s that? A man with nothing to lose.

[@pasjonatpl]

Not only. And there was something to lose. Ringo could kill one of his friends. He was one of the fastest gunfighters. So even drunk he had a chance to win with one of Earp brothers. Doc could let it happen. He knew that drunk Ringo had very little chance with him. Even if he died saving his friends lives, it was worth to do that, even if he was healthy.

[@picallo1]

@@pasjonatpl Ringo had little chance against Doc stone cold sober. Doc was too fast.

[@martyc909]

In real life, Doc's reputation was very much fabricated by himself, to scare people. But there was one thing that was very real, Doc might have been the fast gun in the west. Now how accurate... well.... who knows. But he was extremely fast, and he might have been one of the few people who could have beat Ringo in a gun fight. And with a drunk Ringo, Doc would have killed him easy. This scene always seemed like they were trying to stop a child from poking at a rattlesnake.

Doc's relaxed attitude when he went back to finish his shave showed that drunk Ringo didn't even stir him up.When one knows one can win, and knows will die anyway due to TB, it produces an attitude.
