Would you classify Clint Eastwood's character as a good guy hero in this movie?


Or is he an anti-hero for the most part but with redeeming features and is a more likeable guy in the overall criminal bunch portrayed in this classic movie Western?

I would agree with your anti-hero assessment. He's "the good" only compared to the other two.

He was a good guy. Probably doesn’t appear that way to the modern simp generation under 30.

He's Chaotic Good.

When the Man With No Name ministers to the dying Confederate boy for no other reason than it was the right thing to do and then lets him keep his duster, the universe immediately rewards him with something infinitely cooler to wear. Tuco obviously had no interest in the poor boy and Setenza likely would've just shot him to put him out of his misery.
