Ike getting to live as always bothered me. I wish they would have shot him in the back at the end while he was running away on his horse.

I love it. Ike is the single worst character in movie history. He is villainous, stupid, cowardly, and incompetent. He is completely without any remotely redeeming quality, yet he survives the movie, because life ain't fair. There is nothing good about Ike.

He wasn’t killed in the Vendetta Ride, so...

He was shot dead not long after, just not by the Earps.

You do know this movie is based on historical events and not just a made up story?

You wish they would have majorly altered the historical story of what happened to give you better feels?

To be fair, that happens pretty often in movies.

Holy shite, it just now clicked to me that Ike was played by Stephen Lang.

Wow.

I honestly never realized that until right now.

Sure, but not usually to the extent of killing someone that doesn't actually die, when you are for the most part retelling an actual story.

Wasn't the Ike character totally different in either the Costner version or the older versions?

Now you know what Sansa meant when she said "the worst ones always live." Ike is a perfect example of the kind of sniveling piece of shite who always survives a world war, disaster, etc.

Plus, yeah, dude wasn't killed by the Erps.

Also, Jason Priestly's character was unnecessary

That was your one complaint?

Not the various cartoonish or cliched depictions of the old west?

The West was won with six-guns and catchphrases.

Sounds more like the main characters (particularly Henry Hill) in "Goodfellas." None of those asshats were worth a damn.
