I like the part where the Judge says “I’ll be the judge of that” and judges all over the place

The absolute worst thing about the Judge is that scene where Glanton asks him his name and he says, It's Judge Holden, and Glanton asks, Holden what?, and the Judge simply replies, Hold'n deez nuts.

I love when judge Holden says “This blood, its meridian” then proceeds to violate every child ever.

My favorite part is when The Kid says “I’m just Kidding” at the end

“nah i dont feel like watching a movie rn thats too much” proceeds to watch a 5 hour long wendigoon video

Honestly, the scene where the kid kicks a guy in the jaw and then the guy and him both pull out knives and get in a knife fight with each other only to then both get knocked out by a third person, wake up in a hotel and then casually trade back their knives and go commit arson sounds like something from a multiplayer video game

You know, I surmise that these Glanton marauders were real jerks.

When the Judge said "In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony God's blessing, but because, I am enlightened by my own intelligence" I got straight up chills

the kid having a bible that he cant read is one of my favourite metaphors in all fiction, to me it's a symbol of him striving for something higher that he cannot achieve due to the circumstances of his life and the choices he ahs made

Trigger Warning: All of them

I love how the Judge even manages to make collecting butterflies for a fucking scrapbook seem extremely menacing.

I love the part of the book where the kid goes "Give me a drink bartender" and the bartender slides him a drink that falls off the counter and shatters

It's chilling that when we first meet The Judge he accuses an innocent man of pedophilia. Then just for us to find out all along he himself was a horrific child predator and murderer

I just went to Half Price Books and asked about this book and they said that for some reason in the past couple of days Blood Meridian became one of the top three most asked about books.

My favorite part of this book was at the end where the kid goes into the outhouse and says "he's behind me isn't he" and then proceeded to appear on an Amber alert

"we've just the one pistol Holden" said the kid "we? who's we? the console? the wii?" replied Judge

Wendigoon's really pushing that 45 minute mark

the way that a 5 hr video of this man discussing a book is trending at #16 in GAMING speaks to how much YouTube loves us some Wendi!

the part of this book that stuck out to me the most was the two scenes with the old women. in the first scene, the kid stands back and allows this brutality to occur, no condemnation on his part of the horrific killing and scalping of a woman so ill and old and scared she can barely stand. like what wendigoon said, the kid has no morals, no thoughts or opinions on anything - he's just in it for the money. but by the time we reach the end of the book, the kid is not the kid anymore, he's the man. he has "found himself" so to speak, he has morals and shows care and respect to others. when he comes upon the old woman amongst the massacre, he speaks kindly to her, offers to bring her home, calls her "abuela". but it didn't matter, because she was dead. i think that's the tragic part for me, that despite the fact the kid has shown so much growth by the end of the novel, despite the fact that he has changed and is trying to do something good with his life, he can't escape the death and violence that have been present in his life from the very beginning. i think thats also why (in a narrative sense) he had to be killed by the judge, the poster child of death and violence and destruction. the kid was doomed from the beginning, because even though he changed, his environment and his past did not. his story was never going to end well, even when his idle allowance of murder and torture morphed into kindness and care
