    i want to clarify, i appreciate so much u guys weren't put off by the length of the first video but my concerns about the length are more for my own sake. i made my first video so long simply because i just had that much to say! i didn't set out to make an hour video, it just ended up that way, and as i was actually filming and editing i realized that it was a lot more work than i anticipated with the length of script i wrote lol. so, I'm not saying i will NEVER upload an hour long video again, but i can't do it every time because it's hard

    Abigail gets so much undeserved hatred from some fans, yet, all the points she makes are totally valid and I feel you did an amazing job exposing those points and explaining them. Come to think of it, she's an absolute saint for putting up with him for that long lol. I used to dislike the epilogue (not really dislike, but not love as much as Arthur's part) but seeing John evolving as a person and starting, for real this time, his path towards redemption is a marvelously crafted gift by rockstar towards long time red dead fans.

    Whats really sad about John is he made the attempt to leave behind his run and gun lifestyle, and he did for a while, but his ties to that past unfortunately sent him back into it, no matter how much he changed he couldn't escape the consequences of being an infamous outlaw in the most infamous gang, the same is true of Abigail and Jack. Even if he became a raw pacifist the moment he fled the gangs breakup it wouldn't have mattered, and it's not really his fault either, he's part of the old world, and the world is changing, there's no room for men like John anymore,even though John changed, end of RDR1 Dutch was letting John know that at his last moment, he realized he can't escape fate. Their destiny was set in stone the moment they followed Dutch when they were younger.

I’ve see allot of hate for their characters even though their actions and presentation makes sense and is totally reasonable considering the lives they’ve lived. I love that RDR2 puts so much detail and complexity into the writing of the characters and the dynamics between them, really goes far to make them feel like believable people who struggle finding a place in the new world. I’d love to hear your opinions on Sadie Adler if that’s something you’d have interest in talking about. Keep up the good work!

      Yeah people hating Abigail are weird. It's pretty damn obvious why she's always yelling at John, she doesn't want Jack to die or grow up completely without a father. Plus, if John died, being a single, uneducated woman with a child back then would either mean becoming a working girl or ending up dead. And Jack is a kid who basically grew up with no dad and no friends.

    I feel the proposal and wedding is what Arthur's sacrifice was about. He didn't stay on that mountain holding off the pinkertons JUST so John can survive, no, he stayed behind so John can LIVE! That's what it was all about, even before this point that's what the stated goal of the gang was. I always remember that talk before they go to Six Point Cabin when talking about the differences between the VDL Gang and the O'driscolls John's main distinction is that the O'driscolls are only trying to survive, while the Van Der Linde's are trying to live, free! And now he and his family at least can, because of an act of love from Arthur. I know that John going after Micah is eventually what ruins him, what leads to RDR1 but i cant blame John. If i had someone like Arthur, someone who did everything he could with his dying breaths to make sure I can live a life I wasnt able to before, Id want revenge for him too.
    I'll always tear up during Arthur's final moments, but the real sobbing is during the proposal and wedding, its what all that struggle was about, just those two beautiful moments

    Another banger. I feel like I’m the only one who enjoys playing epilogue part 1 hahah. There was so much fighting between John and Abigail in the main game, but getting to be in it (instead of just catching glimpses as Arthur) is so rewarding. I feel the same way you do where I can sympathize with John, but I will defend Abigail til my dying breath. On my first playthrough I cried when Arthur died, but on every subsequent playthrough it’s John’s proposal that makes tear up. It’s THE payoff. In a game with so much pain there’s this one beautiful moment, and I know Arthur would be so happy that he spent his last moments making sure such a thing could happen. Would be happy to see more content from you. Fallout 4 as well c:

    It's almost 4 AM where I live, but I saw this before sleeping and I just had to watch. Great follow-up, it made me go thru the emotions I felt for John as the epilogue unfolded. The epilogue shows how Dutch and Hosea's parenting on John made him ill-equipped to a world outside the gang and a society thats more hostile to outlaws. The world they raised him in also really stunted his growth, which we've seen glimpses of in Chapters 1 & 2 thru Arthur's. I like how you went through John and Abigail's perspectives and traced John's growth until he realized he had to truly go all-in on his family.

He has a kid, a good-natured and intelligent boy who could do something with his life, despite his dead beat dad. He got a ranch because his former boss pulled strings for a bank to give him credit. And what does he do? First he flirts with danger by using paper thin disguises and aliases, and then goes full in by hunting down Micah. Saying that this is for Arthur, although he knew very well that Arthur didn't want him to ruin his life like that. No, what he did wasn't for Arthur, it was for John Marston.
    Sorry for the long rant. I still love John, you know, he's a great protagonist, and his intentions are not malicious. But, oh, is he far from perfect.

    Edit: So, finished the vid. I admit, I was expecting more than just an epilogue talk and didn't hear nuch new stuff, like ti was with Dutch, but I still appreciate how good you are at putting it simply and with humour. And, obviously, I understand how hard and laborous it would be to make a full-full John analysis from bith games, which might as well be a longer video, considering he has more to be talked about than Dutch, even if it's just reitersting points the game already made pretty clear. Thank you for the video!

      plus, like you said, a full fledged analysis (which is still something i'd like to do in the future) is a pretty big task! and i would like to be able to upload videos more than just once every month and a half haha

      @@pinkygunslingy Yess, it is a big problem I noticed, even though it's a pretty clean cut character, epilogue seems to confuse people the most. Maybe because of still being hung uo on Arthur by the time you play epilogue or just less attention since the game feels "finished", but usually if a person plays rdr2 b4 rdr1 they seem to just... not pay attention?
      Anyway, I was wondering, do you alr have idea for the next video or is it to be announced?

Plus you have recontextualized RDR1 in my mind to be a lot more tragic and impactful.

    I don't even count RDR2 John as canon, they ruined him in RDR2. In RDR1 he implies several times that he was even more ruthless and angry in his gang days, and in RDR2 we see him do nothng but whine, being mocked by everyone for some reason and coming up with scores that turn out to be a bust. Dutch also was dumbed down for the sake of sending the gang into a downhill path in a forced way, like trusting Bronte's lead on robbing the trolley station. It was such an obvious set up, that no matter how desperate for a chance for a good score Dutch was, there was no way he'd believe it, before doing it he says "we need money, Bronte says this place has got money"... like.. what??

    also i never understood the epilouge hate. i thought it was really well done. you could stay and farm all day (which is kind of boring) or you could slip out and fall into the outlaw lifestyle once again. it was a cool way of encouraging player actions that reflect johns character (wanting to stay and be with his family while the pull of the outlaw life is always just ouside the fence).

    I know this video is about John, but I will touch upon Arthur here. The thing about Charles saying "You think Arthur cared revenge?" is that he only says it if Arthur had high honor. If Arthur had low honor, Charles instead says "Revenge, that might be something he could have understood". Despite the "revenge is a fools game" message, Arthur (at least with low honor) is not exactly above revenge. If Arthur chooses to go back for the money instead of helping John, he immediately says "Dutch. Micah. Come and get me you bastards" in a quiet menacing tone. He then precedes to shout the same words out loud in hopes that Dutch and Micah could hear him coming for them. I think that is a sign that he wants to get revenge on Dutch and Micah, not just going back for the money. I think a lot of people miss out on experiencing Low Honor Arthur. By chapter 6 especially, there are a lot of scenes with different dialogue that show him in a more selfish and greedy light.

Next I'd love to say how it's so fun to watch your videos, you have a very interesting thought process, and you make very funny jokes that keep me pulled into the video, while I did really like the hour long thing, shorter videos also work perfect for your type of content, keep it up, you're doing fantastic!
