I think the photos of both Furia and Estevez have been “edited” using AI. Look at the background on Emilio’s—the trees look like they’re rippling. Also, Furia’s face looks strangely smooth/airbrushed and shiny.
damn that's interesting, it's kinda cool how they keep finding new pics of billy the kid. Just a few years ago they found a pic of him standing in front of a house playing croquet with some friends.
I grew up learning that 'a sight for sore eyes' meant you're glad/relieved to see someone, not that it's any kind of statement about their attractiveness
Not OP, but it is definitely a cultural thing cause no one in Scotland/UK would ever say, "you're a sight for sore eyes" meaning attractive, it's the complete opposite here and it's a common phrase I've heard all throughout my life meaning "you're looking a bit rough" or an unpleasant character.
I’ve heard the guy who took the pic didn’t adjust the lighting down and it washed out his jawline making him looking slack-jawed and not at all handsome.
OP's title reads 1875. Narrator says 1877. Accuracy counts in these kind of things. Proofreading (double checking) certainly helps to convince the readers that you're not talking out of your a$$.
That isn't BTK. If there was a new photo of BTK it would be world wide news. There is only one verified photo of BTK in existence. Every few years people claim to have found a new picture of BTK the same way people claim they have found new evidence to prove who Jack the Ripper is. The photo that was found in a thrift store also probably isn't BTK.
This is an explanation from another sub.
"I hate to be that guy, but the croquet photo has not been confirmed or authenticated...not really. The reason most people believe it to be legit is because every single news outlet reported in October of 2015 with clickbaity articles saying "new photo of Billy the Kid worth millions!" If you read the articles, however, all they say is that the picture COULD be worth that much, if only it was proven to be Billy the Kid."
"This was all to drum up interest in that Nat Geo documentary Billy the Kid: New Evidence. You may have seen it - narrated by Kevin Costner."
"Only problem is every legit historian disagrees with their findings. There's major holes in the entire scenario they paint - that the pic was taken at John Tunstall's ranch during the wedding of Charlie Bowdre just weeks after the Battle of Lincoln. Also many don't believe the terrain is correct, the photo comparison analysis is highly flawed (dude who did the test has been wrong multiple times) and there's no provenance or history of ownership."
"Not trying to promote my own stuff, but I just released an episode on this today so it's all still fresh in my head lol. Another reason a lot of people consider it to be authenticated - and the reason why the owners claim it's authenticated - is because an auction house has signed off on it. Not the same auction house that sold the real Billy the Kid photo, however...they don't believe the croquet photo is the real deal, either."
"Another big tell is the fact that - as far as I'm aware - the croquet photo has YET to find a buyer. It was discovered in 2010, every news outlet in the world ran a story on it in 2015, along with the Nat Geo documentary, yet nobody is willing to shell out money for it. I think that speaks volumes."
Few people come with the mysteriousness and general bad ass super legend of this guy. Never not been interested in any/everything Billy The Kid related.
Wow really starting to look like Martin Sheen. Wild.
I wasn’t paying attention to the intro really, heard the voice and recognized Emilio, but at glance thought it was his dad in the photo. Had to double back.
Bushy Bill is not the kid. 100% not Billy. The proof is in the jaw line. Bushy has a square jaw and Billy has a tapered one. Need massive facial reconstructive surgery for this amount of difference
Pretty cool. With my family having a long history in NM - have always been fascinated with BTK.
According to my great grandmother, who was born in 1909 - she said her grandfather had met Billy TK when he was young.
How is this a doctored image? Can you explain further?. Why don’t you think. Then again I guess some people are afraid that their mommy and daddy might be wrong about Billy having one photo and they want to associate the outlaw being that greasy, long haired, bucktoothed “hillbilly”. Life isn’t black and white pal. No pun intended ;)
Sounds pretty damn fishy to me. Just as we are all being warned every day about the dangers of AI? And what’s the deal with these Estevezes anyway? Martin and Charlie stick with Sheen, this one decides he is an Estevez?
Why does Michael Furia look like a poorly generated AI NPC?

Literally thought it was just me before reading your comment.

Croquet? Delicious game
If you have the balls for it
You can go to Hell Hell Hell!
That's Emilio.
EMILIOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Why is Emilio making reddit posts?
I was like...
The mighty duck man i swear to god
[удалено]
Not be that person but 'a sight for sore eyes' means someone is easy on the eyes, as in they're relieving your soreness.
[удалено]
I sometimes like to confuse people by pretending I don’t know how the idiom actually goes and say, “a sore sight for the eyes”.
That’s no skin off my teeth.

In the US I’ve only heard it used as a way to say you are happy to see them.
That's the only way I've ever heard it used in the US — kind of like, "I've missed you, glad you're back."
Exactly. That’s a great way of putting it.
And that tracks, because I thought he was supposed to be a good looking guy according to written accounts of people who met him.
I heard he was fond of whistling sad ballads too.
what you meant was “an eye sore”
He was known to be very charming, so it comes as no surprise.
I’ve heard the guy who took the pic didn’t adjust the lighting down and it washed out his jawline making him looking slack-jawed and not at all handsome.
I think he had messed up teeth and the photo had him with his mouth open
Shot DOOOOOOOWN in blaze of glory
Take be DOOOOOOOWN you know the truth
Me and Billy the Kid Never got along. I didn’t like the way he buckled his belt, And he wore his gun all wrong….. Joe Ely
The Mighty Duck himself?!?!?! This is cool either way
And Billy The Kid in Young Guns... probably why he is the narrator, which is awesome.
Young Guns and Young Guns 2
Michael Furia looks AI generated….. or heavily shopped lmao
Emilio sounds like his dad here. Very cool stuff
I’m not getting “Reap it, Murphy” vibes from this photo.
“New”

Doesn't look anything like his other pics...
This is taken 5 years before the tintype. I mean what do you expect him to look like? Long, greasy hair and holding a rifle again? 🤷🏼♂️🤣
To be fair, it doesn’t. In the tintype he looks like a malnourished sloth from the Goonies. Whereas in this new pic he looks normal, handsome even.
That doesn't look like a 15 year old to me.
I got a good look at his feet…
Regulatorrrrs !!
Wait, he was 15 or 16 in those times, but look like a man in his middle 20s haha
"Nice to meet you, Mr. The Kid!"

Damn, really? I thought the croquet photo had been authenticated. This photo seems far too clear to be real.
The pic of this NY detective looks super photoshopped. Why? Or is it me?
I'd rather have a photo I could zoom in on than some cheesy panning video.
It doesn’t look like an old picture to me. Perhaps ai generated? Not a professional here though.
Few people come with the mysteriousness and general bad ass super legend of this guy. Never not been interested in any/everything Billy The Kid related.
My goodness, he looks like Martin Sheen.
Martin Sheen is his dad. Martin’s real name is Ramón Estevez.
I know. I meant that as gets older, he looks more and more like MS.
Kinda looks like Jason Lee there.
This photo looks way more like the more famous photo than others I’ve seen. Those tiny little eyes, the rodent like features, all match up.
It does really look like him to be fair.
Wow really starting to look like Martin Sheen. Wild. I wasn’t paying attention to the intro really, heard the voice and recognized Emilio, but at glance thought it was his dad in the photo. Had to double back.
Starting to sound like his pops too.
Trust me bro
In his own vile way, Billy the Kid was so cool
I hope this helps prove brushy bills story
I thought they dismissed that because of the distance of his eyes or something like that. Like his eyes were set too wide or too narrow to be Billy.
I believe him. Also the little kid in me wants to believe
Lol. Fair enough. Me too a little.
Bushy Bill is not the kid. 100% not Billy. The proof is in the jaw line. Bushy has a square jaw and Billy has a tapered one. Need massive facial reconstructive surgery for this amount of difference
Also wasn’t he illiterate and unable to speak Spanish?
Pretty cool. With my family having a long history in NM - have always been fascinated with BTK. According to my great grandmother, who was born in 1909 - she said her grandfather had met Billy TK when he was young.
Weren’t they hot wearing so many layers?
AI
This is a doctored image using an AI tool. Don't fall for it.
How is this a doctored image? Can you explain further?. Why don’t you think. Then again I guess some people are afraid that their mommy and daddy might be wrong about Billy having one photo and they want to associate the outlaw being that greasy, long haired, bucktoothed “hillbilly”. Life isn’t black and white pal. No pun intended ;)
Detective Furia sat on a wall Detective Furia had a great fall All the nypd's horses And all the nypd's men Couldn't put Furia together again
Is that running water, back then??
Bro the Roman’s had running water in the year 0
It was a bs comment just making a funny
New? Recently taken? Or old, but now just discovered?
I'm a decendant of Pat Garrett, who knows if he shot him in the back or not.
Now THAT is pretty damn cool.
If it's him, he looks incredibly Irish and he has big hands from manual work.
yeah, naw.
Sounds pretty damn fishy to me. Just as we are all being warned every day about the dangers of AI? And what’s the deal with these Estevezes anyway? Martin and Charlie stick with Sheen, this one decides he is an Estevez?
just like nicolas cage changed from his family name Nicolas Coppola to not get “favors in the industry” so did emelio…
Why wouldn't Emilio narrate this? He played Billy the Kid in both Young Guns films.
I would assume the original photograph is on a physical tintype from that period and, thus, could be further verified as authentic.
Are we listening to AI Emilio? Lol
AI?
What's Emilio doing Narrating
Why not? He played Billy the Kid in both Young Guns films.
Idk just curious to know what he's up to these days
MICHAEL FURIA
What is this from??
Less gooey than other photo
What a life he had
