Is there a reasonable defense of not considering the Dollars Trilogy a “true trilogy”?

Yeah, yeah, it was not Leone’s “original intention,” but by any reasonable interpretation, he obviously intentionally made TGTB&TU a prequel by setting it earlier and having the Man With No Name gain his trademark wardrobe by the final act, solidifying it as cinema’s first origin story.
INB4 “he isn’t really the Man With No Name.” Yes, yes Joe, Manco, and Blondie. But these are all names given to him either by strangers or are otherwise obvious nicknames. It’s my contention that they’re all nicknames.

I was just thinking to myself that this board had stagnated recently. Thank you

The Man with No Name has different names in them.

Always thought “The Blood Money trilogy” sounded better. GBU has no dollars in the name anyway.

I don't know, but Lee Van Cleef used to confuse the hell out of me in these movies. I wondered how he could be so heroic in one movie, and so dastardly in the next. It never occurred to me that he played two different characters.

Mostly a promotional thing.
I mean, I always saw them as stand alone movies.
The Trilogy is that Clint is in them all I guess and mostly dresses the same. Its just a loose series, while Dirty Harry is EXACTLy the same character throughout the sequels.

FWIW Ford's "Cavalry Trilogy" was not intended as one either. Ford happened to get three films produced which concerned the cavalry.
Perhaps my fave of these: we all know John Wayne made The Shootist as his farewell to movies and his fans around the world.
Except he didn't. Per Ron Howard Wayne called him the next year to discuss his appearing in a film Wayne was setting up.

It all takes place in the same cinematic universe

This is a chick nickname. Also, his hair was not blonde.

It's all too confusing for my brain.
I think I'll stick to Rod Cameron westerns.
