*** On that note, take a look at their respective revolvers. The Man With No Name carried a distinctive pistol with silver snake grips (a Single Action Army in Joe/Manco's case and a Civil War-era Colt Navy for Blondie), while Munny brings with him a more mundane, old, beat-up model until it's taken from him by Little Bill.

** It is worth remembering both that (a) Eastwood's claim about Munny being The Man is ultimately WordOfDante more than anything else (unless Sergio Leone confirmed that Munny was the Man With No Name we're under no obligation to accept it as such, and even then we don't have to thanks to DeathOfTheAuthor), and has to be taken with that in mind, and (b) the Dollars films are a ThematicSeries. They're not tied together by a strict, watertight plot like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they're linked by the presence of Eastwood as TheManWithNoName and some vaguely similar narrative and thematic devices. But the very fact that he has no name makes him ambiguous; is he the same man in all three films? Are we watching his actual adventures or a mythic recounting of his adventures? Did any of this happen? In short; there is just as much reason to suppose that Joe/Manco/Blondie/Munny are completely different people as they are the same man, meaning that all of them could have had very different fates once their respective films were completed.

** Or perhaps,as Leone intended, the three films are not connected beyond the general western tropes and character archtypes, and Blondie/Joe/Manco are not the same person. Also, you are taking Eastwood's words a bit too literally. Munny is not The Man With No Name, as in the movie he *does* have a name, a name that was infamous and well known. He meant that Munny was the inevitable end to a character like TMWNN, spending his youth as a carefree gunslinger, only to become a bitter old man haunted by his violent past and unable to live a normal life.

* Why the heck does an intelligent and cunning man like Blondie/Joe/Manco have such trouble holding onto the ludicrous windfalls of cash he ''repeatedly earns'', and build a happy life with it? If we take [[WordOfGod Clint Eastwood's word]] that Bill Munny from ''Film/{{Unforgiven}}'' is The Man With No Name settled down to a life of peace. The fact that Blondie/Joe/Manco ended up a lowly dirty-poor pig-farmer means that he has blown through ''every'' coin from the 100,000 Gold Pieces of Confederate Dollars he and Tuco won in ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' '''and''' the $29 Thousand Dollars for the lives of Indigo's Gang that Colonel Mortimer let him have every cent of in ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore.'' '''Surely''' a man a smart as "Bill Munny" is would ''already'' have invested in big city canning business the very next day after killing Angel Eyes in Sad Hill Cemetery, and ''afford'' doctors who could have saved his wife's life (not to mention give his children a proper eductation). Instead, he wastes every penny of his hard won blood-money, leaving his wife dead and his children in poverty. How does ''that'' make any sense considering how cunning/smart/far-sighted Munny has shown himself to be in ''The Dollars Trilogy?''
