And I don't care if it is a TV series, they screwed Hex's origin up. It's not like it is even that complicated of an origin story. He could have just said to Sarah, "He blames me for the death of his son and betrayed me." Hell, they could have changed it to, "He sold me out to the Apache, who scared me face." Wow, that was so hard.

I'm sorry, but Jonah Hex is my third favorite DC character, so when he is adapted on screen, I expect accuracy. It's not like he has a complicated back story or is even that hard to write. He is the easiest character to adapt and WB seems so inept in doing so. I don't get it.

It's also a really outdated backstory that utilizes the overdone (and dehumanizing) trope of "savage native Americans."

Hex's origin isn't thematically important to the character. He's not a figure rooted in symbolism like Superman or Batman. He's just a guy. An extraordinary guy, sure, but still just a guy.
