Judge Holden is not an albino. McCarthy calls him pale, white, etc, but he is never described as suffering from albinism. Early in the book his cheeks are described as "ruddy", and there are many other examples of the Judge being described as having a normal skin tone for a white man. He is not "the color white".



Literally all of the fan art is wrong.

He's just a pale German psychopath.

his head is described as a pale lunar dome. that's pretty white. but i don't think his eyes are ever described as red, as some fan artists portray him. as far why he's so white, see on the whiteness of the whale, moby dick

>his head is described as a pale lunar dome. that's pretty white.

Yes, his whiteness is significant, at least the whiteness of his head (which is shielded from the sun by his hat). But he is not literally the color white like Moby Dick is, nor is he a white whale figure in the narrative

Uh oh the cope is kicking in, a black albino will play him in that upcoming movie.

>(which is shielded from the sun by his hat).

damn how did i miss that? he is white as bird shit though, literally the only thing he ever appears afraid of is the sun.

rather than talking shit i'll try to find some quotes, one second

>he is white as bird shit though

nay!

It's more artistically satisfying if he's Moon Man though

Why the recent uptick in McCarthy threads? He's not even that good.

make sure to quote his ruddy cheeks when he enters the Mexican town where the Kid is prisoners with Toadvine. you get ruddy red cheeks and a shiny white head, not albino

A normie youtuber made a five hour video doing a sparknotes summary of the plot.

maybe not, but he's clearly supposed to be remembered as, if not albino, the shade preceding it. never riding without a hat and crafting one when necessary, constructing an umbrella, head described as egg-like and lunar. i'm curious where you get that he's described as the same color as everyone else when there is so much implication that he would burn easily in the sun. it's no coincidence everyone remembers him like that.

They all burn easily in the sun, being that all of them save a few are white. The Judge's physical features are disconcerting, he's tall, hairless, etc, but he's not albino. His pale head is just that, a pale head like you would see from Bruce Willis. Its striking because it's not what you'd expect, blurring the lines between human and supernatural without ever making it clear.

>it's no coincidence everyone remembers him like that.

it's no coincidence they are incorrect either, it's a long book that's easy to get lost in, and misinformation is more common than truth
