This almost seems like ‘A Christmas Carol’. How? Cobra represents the ghoat of Rip’s past(exposed or otherwise), TNT is the present, Rip being afraid to return home due to his outlaw status while the evil Breezy is the future, representing the consequences if Rip decides to follow his instincts and chase Skull after this long and twisted dream.
And Cobra, acording to Thompson himself, is going to marry Sheriff Utah. Again, it will be annoying if he decides to ‘throw’ her into the misty dustbin of history like Breezy’s evil cousin. Super ka-annoying!
If this is a dream, and I hope(for real Breezy’s sake)that it is, Rip could be feeling the intense anger he suppressed after learning Breezy had cheated, which is partly why Jenkins is wearing a mask; he is also eager to take down this dream Skull outlet.
A good book or a comic book like Batman.
