Yeah, there's something about the millennial and zoomer writing that assumes everyone in the universe, and at all times in the past, spoke with the exact same vernacular as an iPhone/Twitter/Internet addicted teenage.
I don't think it's possible for most modern Hollywood writers to be able to write a scene like this. Each character speaks differently due to their character, background, context, and personality. They, overall, have a completely different cadence from modern English because the setting is in the old west, and the movie is trying to maintain a genuine connection to that setting. Most importantly, they have a different set of values and understanding of death due to those similar circumstances for each character. Notably, there is none of the trademark cynicism and irony that makes up the majority of all communication in millennial and zoomer dialogue.

If a fictional universe doesn't take itself seriously, how is the audience supposed to take it seriously?
