History WMG / Rango

[[WMG: The armadillo [[spoiler: is the true form of the Spirit of the West]]]]
Rango saw [[spoiler: Creator/ClintEastwood]], because [[spoiler: the Spirit of the West appears in a form you'll understand, as said above.]] But, what about when he just wants to be a normal [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman "person"]]? It explains how he survived death [[spoiler: and commanded the cacti]]

To start off, Dirt's residents recognize the tale of Rango, but only vaguely [[spoiler:(they don't even know he's dead)]]. In the Rango Theme, the singer states that Rango was, in fact, in the town of Durango (possibly attracted by the "cactus juice", from which the movie Rango took HIS name). Finally, the movie's Bad Bill could be the son of the Bad Bill who [[spoiler: killed Durango's Rango]], or even his grandson. So, it's possible that a Dirt resident traveled to Durango, heard of the legend of Rango, and spread it in Dirt.

And if Jake ever learns that his rattle is used as instrument, he's gonna be ''really mad'' at the [[spoiler: late]] Hopper's gang.

A big part of Jake's mystique is his bluster about hellfire and damnation, building up the legends about him being a Grim Reaper figure that can drag people to hell. The Citizens of Dirt have access to the Old Testament (Rango signs a copy when he's being fitted for his sheriff's outfit), and seem to have created their own religion of sorts, complete with evangelical preaching and passionate call-response sermons. Jake's father was probably an evangelical "sinners burn in hell forever" preacher himself, and it's where Jake picked up most of his dramatic flair. Also, drawing on another WMG - the one about Jake hating Rango for indirectly insulting his mother by implying she had an "active social life" - if his father really was a preacher, that's another reason Jake would get so upset about insults to his mother. You just don't say that sort of thing about the preacher's wife!

What kind of legendary evil would miss the chance to KickTheSonOfABitch in such an [[KarmicDeath appropriate]] fashion?

[[WMG: The GiantEyeOfDoom is a [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs dinosaur]].]]

When you think about the things he's heard Rango has said about him, it is clear he hates a fraud presenting himself as a genuine article legendary badass when Jake is filling that spot...but part of Rango's story is [[YourMom implying Jake's mother had an...*ahem* "active social life"]]. Like another badass western outlaw, [[Film/ThreeTenToYuma Ben Wade]], [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Jake loves his mom]], and took exception to this lie in particular.

Anthropomorphic animals that live like humans and come in [[AnimalsNotToScale unusually small sizes]]? Check. Distributed by Nickelodeon? Check. Plus, you know how in ''Spongebob'', everyone looks realistic when they go onto land? Well, that explains why the animals here look so realistic.

Or it could be that "Jake" simply rhymes with "snake". And "Blake" doesn't sound BadAss enough.

It's just one more reason for him to hate Rango. Someone had to, after all, and Jake is the resident {{Badass}}.

* Hmmm... a looney, over-the-top character played by Johnny Depp who's also bisexual? [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Why does that sound familiar?]]
