As a die-hard Yellowstone fan with over a decade of binge-watching under my belt, I must confess that John Dutton’s demise left me utterly perplexed and slightly disgruntled. While I understand the need for drama and plot twists, his untimely assassination feels like a punch in the gut, especially after his valiant struggle against cancer and gunshots.
Contains spoilers for “Yellowstone” Season 5B, Episode 9 — “Desire is All You Need”
As a dedicated gamer, let me express my frustration over the turn of events in “Yellowstone” Season 5B. The sudden departure of John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner, has left many of us feeling unsettled, to say the least. It seems that creator Taylor Sheridan’s decision to take out our beloved protagonist has sparked a wave of discontent among viewers. From Reddit forums to social media platforms like X, IMDb reviews are filled with fans expressing their disappointment over John’s assassination and the portrayal of him taking the blame for it himself. It just doesn’t sit right with us.
“It seemed less plausible that John Dutton committed suicide; considering his past struggles with cancer and being shot, it’s hard to imagine he would take his own life. A hired gun might have done a bit more investigating,” argued u/Trayew on the “Yellowstone” subreddit.
As a devoted fan, I couldn’t help but notice the backstage tension between Costner and Sheridan that led to Costner departing the show to work on his cinematic flop, “Horizon: An American Saga.” And here’s the buzz on Reddit from u/anyasolo, “Did Taylor Sheridan really kill off JD like that because he was upset with Costner?
Some viewers enjoyed John’s death
Although many viewers expressed displeasure over John Dutton’s demise, some disagreed that the show “Yellowstone” is in decline due to his absence. As mrtnhrst on IMDb puts it, “We all have different emotional responses to the Duttons because at its heart, it’s superb storytelling with stunning visuals and a knack for immersing us into an enchanting fictional realm for a while.” Similarly, numerous fans believed that the way they handled Kevin Costner’s exit was well thought out, with one user, TiffanyTwisted11 on Reddit, stating, “I appreciate how they managed Costner no longer being part of the show. Death was the perfect choice.
Kristen Kirschner, speaking on X, commented that other fans are staying invested in the show due to standout performances by cast members such as Kelly Reilly. As someone who appreciates well-developed characters, she understands this loyalty. However, she believes Kelly Reilly’s performance is worth sticking around for this season. Many fans are ready to give the actors a chance and see how they perform moving forward – we’ll have to wait and see if they stay committed throughout Season 5 or decide to abandon “Yellowstone” like a train heading elsewhere.
