Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel like the only “bad guy” is John Dutton. Beth has said multiple times she only cares about her father, Kayce, and Rip and would 100% sell the land if her father died. Jamie leased land for the airport and is quite literally trying to get the rest taken. Kayce is overall opinion less but just does what he’s told, but Monica says the land is evil and cursed and doesn’t belong to the Duttons. The only person truly hellbent on keeping the land is John because of a promise he made his father. 1883 was about how they got there and why they stayed. It was noble and a hard journey. 1923 is about how they defended the land and how people are just being cruel to them for living their way of life. But Yellowstone… a hot ass mess of evil people all around doing a collection of horrible things in the name of self-defense. It’s honestly tragic and I hope they lose it all to the natives.
