* It could be that Rango died the moment he fell out of his terrarium, and all the characters he meets are spirits and personifications. The story is of his "crossing to the other side", as in the euphemism for dying, but not before discovering who he is first. He then travels through Dirt, which might be a representation of some "purgatory", seeing how much suffering is in it, and nearing the end, he enters "heaven" in, the words of Beans, "Enough water for everyone." |

Think about it: she served a triple purpose. She kept outsiders from reaching the town, kept the townspeople scared (and disposed of troublemakers) and kept Rattlesnake Jake at bay until the Mayor needed him. And she was ''smart''—she casually used a vending machine to get to Rango. It was only Rango and his streak of stupid dumb luck that killed her off. |

** This too makes a lot of sense, Jake clearly was used to kill off past sheriffs. If he's so terrified of Metalbeak, he wouldn't come to town ''unless'' the one pulling her strings told her to back off to let him come. That's also why Jake was more agressive towards the mayor later, since the Mayor had no problems summoning him in the first place. Jake's normally more civil around the mayor so he doesn't [[Summon Bigger Fish]] on him and called Metalbeak on him. She's dead so he's only in it for the pay. |
