      Thank you! I don't get how he's a huge King of the Hill fan, yet misses the point when it's right in front of him. On top of John Redcorn serving as an ironic foil for Dale, the media has historically portrayed Native Americans as wise and infallible figures who have been wronged by the white man. While there isn't anything inherently unflattering with that image, it is a tired stereotype that the writers seem to turn on its head by depicting John Redcorn as a morally-compromised character who constantly betrays Dale's trust and engages in other transgressions. The show is full of obvious self-contradictions-such as a substitute Spanish teacher who cannot speak Spanish or a bald, sensitive, overweight man working as a barber in the army-and I am surprised that he made an entire video explaining why he hated John Redcorn, as if the audience was supposed to like him to begin with.

    The thing you could argue that makes John worse than Nancy is the fact that for 13 years he has remained silent about the paternity of his son. If John had revealed the truth about Joseph and fought for custody when he was a baby, John would probably be raising Joseph with 50/50 custody. Instead, John chose to remain silent in order to continue his affair with Nancy. Essentially, John Redcorn chose his mistress over his son.

It's funny as hell how he literally uses his culture and victim status to scam white people out of their money, yet hes a loser who has no meaningful accomplishments in his life. Even nancy eventually dumps him after spending 1 meaningful day with dale not judging him. Her life would be in the gutter without dale in it. Joseph would be a bum like his biological father raised by him and nancy would be a trailer park mom with a biracial child.

    In odd way, John Redcorn was a bigger nobody when compared to Dale. Aside from being attractive hunk and ladies man, John lived in a trailer, alone, and his therapeutic massages was more of a front for his main work as a gigolo. Even John realized this, he has nothing, no family, no land, no future....until Dale, of all people, lifts him up. It was through Dale's help that he secured those 12 acres of land. Dale also sparked John's career as a successful children's entertainment performer when his own metal band was a dead end failure.

    John Redcorn is worse than Nancy.
    Throughout the affair, John was just having fun while Nancy romanticized the whole thing. John never made any attempt to make it serious and pretty easily gave Nancy up.
    Later, John Redcorn has a mid-life crisis upon realizing he's forty and has nothing to show for his life. He decides outta nowhere that he's owed a relationship with the bastard son he barely knows. He tries to rekindle with Nancy, but she chooses Dale once more.
    Nancy always had the most to lose from their affair while John Redcorn was the third party. That he has the nerve to claim he's somehow been wronged is despicable.
    Dale Gribble is the only father Joseph has ever known or needed. John Redcorn is just his mother's wierd friend.

      Indeed, though I think they're both awful.
      John Redcorn LOVED being in relationships with married women. Nancy was not the first, and wasn't the last. He was a womanizer and a hypocrite, and had to reconcile with his actions once his favorite affair partner wizened up. He knew exactly what he was doing, I'd even argue he got his rockers off on the idea of him easily stealing some guy's wife away. Dale Gribble was the most foolish man possible who'd be too trusting to ever actually "catch" them. He's a homewrecker and deservedly got his comeuppance once Nancy left and he started realizing he had very little to show. He does make a solid friendship with Dale who helped him get some much needed government documents through the Freedom of Information Act, and he begins to feel guilty for his actions. Properly.. and indirectly breaking the affair with Nancy proper and lets them go.
      Nancy was a dissatisfied wife married to a very paranoid, very quirky Exterminator. She didn't get what she wanted out of her marriage and then met John Redcorn. She romanticized this affair and even got knocked up. Dale, being the fool that he is didn't even register the possibility of his wife cheating on him, nor would ever believe anyone saying otherwise. Nancy spent so much time blatantly cheating on him, but one day after a fine couple's date and a night of passion, Nancy realized what she loved about Dale, why she married him and starts to see the sincere devotion and fire she thought was lost. Dale realized how much he ignored Nancy and promised to give her the time she desired, which rekindled their marriage.
      Nancy is a cheater, there's no denying that. She doesn't get her proper punishment but she does redeem herself through returning to her marriage, and making an active effort to be involved in Dale and Joseph's lives. Though there is something of a redeeming story in this. That a 14 year long affair is broken mutually and a new future is paved for all of them. Most people desire justice, yet here there's something new each of them.

John meanwhile did a bad thing and he's a whiny, entitled, self-aggrandizing selfish man, but he's not a terrible person either.

    For me, it's simple. Cotton is intentionally written as a reprehensible person, so you always see him as a caricature, not as a real person. John Redcorn, however, is written as someone who is supposed to engage on a relatable way with the main characters, which make his faults (his lying, his being an absentee father, etc) all the more despicable.

    • @collinwarren197
      @collinwarren197 2 года назад +154

      I dunno. Personally even as reprehensible as Cotton is, there's several moments for me that make me feel like he's a real person. The way that he's lying to some extent about what exactly he did in the war(s), for example. He definitely did something big and lost his legs in a traumatic way, but none of his retellings seem quite like they're the real deal and not just a yarn he's spinning. ( Pun intended. ) The inconsistencies portrayed in his memorabilia and people actively calling him out on BS show that whatever it was he is genuinely a real soldier who did something valorous, but we have no solid idea of just what it was. And the way he copes with it after the war and how he has moments of sadness break through his shouty personality make it seem like the caricature is a front he puts on for himself as a way to cope with some degree of dissatisfaction with his life. He has some genuine moments with his sons and the way he decided to die basically out of being dared to by Peggy came across as very real to me. I've met some people who are like that.

      If Redcorn had things his way, Nancy would've divorced Dale and he probably would've raised Joseph.. As for the affair with other women, he's not in a relationship or was in one with Nancy because of her wants to where he was single. Yes his playboy lifestyle is a fault like Boomhaurer but no one in the show is perfect.. Plus even if he did ignore Joseph at first, a lot of parents abandon their kids and never look back, while it's awful what they did in the past, at least some people try to move forward knowing they can't fix what happened prior.. Nancy is still more vile, granted if ya wanted to bat Redcorn, it'd be for his lack of courage and conviction towards telling the truth. If you're that bothered, you'd disregard others begging you not do it. Yes there'd be conflict and turmoil but when the dust settles, something better and honest could blossom if you put the effort. Dale would forgive Nancy most likely, maybe he'd even forgive Redcorn if he felt his neglect towards Nancy led to the affair which to be fair, the show has pointed out he does do which doesn't justify the affair but in Dale's eyes, it could

    My fiance is native (mohawk) and she says for all his disgusting actions, hes rarely stereotyped like most native characters in media. He isnt wise, hes extremely selfish and self absorbed. He uses his race as a tool to get what he wants or guilt trip people. When he DOES speak "of his people" or "native things" in stereotype fashion the wind comedically blows along with a flute playing every time as a running gag. She loves how a Native character is actually given character. Hes flawed and human and not a really good guy. King of the Hill was not afraid to portray a native person in a negative light and it makes the character all the more better to her

Yes, but he also knew someone had to step up to take care of an innocent life that had no choice in the matter. He may not of had a bio-child, but he wore the badge of dad very proudly. Was he perfect? No, but he tried his best and lived his son unconditionally, which is more than you can even say for hank at times.

John Redcorn is a gigolo and a "masseur" (even though he's not very good at it apparently). He lives in a trailer and is a narcisistic p.o.s. . The reason why he wants to bond with Joseph is not out of love, is because he's "HIS" son.

And it gives him vengeance against Redcorn, everything on paper says Joseph is his. So Redcorn has to watch a man he considers his inferior in every way raise his son, because he was to much a coward to support Nancy enough to divorce Dale and marry him. They played it off like he was just clueless, but he snickers when Redcorn drives up that episode.

    The moment that did it for me was in one of the Christmas episodes. To summarize the episode, Hank was throwing a Christmas party for all their friends, but, a few days before, an old woman who grew up in the Hill's house shows up wanting to die there. Hank kicks her out and she ends up faking her death at a bus station so that she can sneak back into the Hill house without raising suspicion. During the party, John Redcorn tells someone "I was going to boycott this party in protest of Hank's treatment of the elderly, but then I heard Bill is my secret Santa and he always gives cool gifts." This really shows that, despite his outward noble, semi mystical persona, his principles are always purely surface level, and he will abandon them at the first opportunity if it means he gets something, material or otherwise, out of it.

    He's really well written, actually. Yeah, he does shitty things but this is absolutely how a lot of "playboys" entering their 40's act. He got all the women (he cheated on Nancy while she was cheating with him. Ha) he wanted, partied, dreamt of making it big as a musician and lived in a trailer making a living off "new age healing" when he himself makes it obvious several times he doesn't believe in it.
    Suddenly, he's 40 and it really starts to dawn on him that he has *no* legacy so he tried to shoehorn himself into Joseph's life. Like "I made something! Look!" because everything else he's done in the last 20 years were very shallow, instant gratification antics.
    Make him white and add 50lbs, he's the high school quarterback at your 30 year reunion who's been to prison because of "the man" and has a great deal for you to get in on. (it's not a pyramid scheme! It's a triangle!)

But that being said we should still be holding Nancy to the same standard as a male in her place. I mean yes Dale has a lot of crazy antics and is a major conspiracy theorist but he treats Nancy with love and devotion. He is at the end of the day a very good husband toward her. He doesn't deserve to be treated how he is by her whatsoever. Now if she divorced him because of all his conspiracy theory stuff and antics I couldn't hold that against her. Also I'm pretty sure before they even got married he was a conspiracy theorist and had plenty of crazy antics going on, so it's not like she didn't know what she was getting into before they got married.

There are dads with court ordered restrictions for meeting their children that are there more than John Redcorn. Being there is the bare minimum. Feeding him, clothing him, changing his diapers, teaching him to walk, giving him a roof and a bed, and protecting him, Dale did this, John did not. Having chats every few weeks and handing out gifts does not constitute fathering a child. He may be Joseph’s father, but believe me, he ain’t his daddy. None of this is even to mention that he sleeps with Nancy regularly (before she broke it off), when he barely even sees his only son. So I guess his priorities lies with his carnal pleasures, as opposed to his own flesh and blood.

      To be fair, in the real world context it is easier to see how colonialism affects certain groups today more than others than cannibalism.
      The issue is that instead of arguing about the relevance of colonialism and ultimately how to address it, Redcorn is using it to discriminate against white peoples like Dale who did nothing wrong because he cannot accept his own shittiness. Asking the government for the protection of tribal lands is different than accusing individuals of being complicit in crimes that happened centuries earlier due to their skin color. Asking people to reconsider government policies that may disproportionately affect certain groups of people is far different than asking Dale to give back Joseph, who is Dale’s son.

      700+ years ago weren't Redcorn's people, and no one is still suffering from what happened that long ago. The labels we use today, to describe ancient cultures, were not how those societies viewed themselves. Individual societies rarely last longer than 200 years. So there is an extreme difference, between what happened to ancient ancestors, vs what happened to families less than 200 years ago, who're still suffering from systemic issues TODAY as a result.

    “Will is not a coat that you hang in the closet, then pick it up when you’re ready to wear it. His life goes on. He’s not supposed to be here for you, you’re supposed to be here for him.”
    John Redcorn waited fourteen long years to try to take back his son, a son he sired with a married woman. He can’t just expect Joseph to suddenly abandon Dale and accept him as a father. If he really wanted to claim Joseph as his son, he should’ve ben a man and taken the consequences of his actions, and take him in when he was born.

    -He gets revenge on John Redcorn by bonding with Joseph knowing that Redcorn can only go so far with affections, thus subtly rubbing it in his face
    -A divorce would ruin their lives, Nancy would lose her job and the respect she earned from others, John Redcorn would be shamed and shunned and Joseph would lose his parents, but also Dale's as he saw what happened when Bill and Lorane got a divorce, dreading the thought of turning into a Bill 2.0

      I think Joseph probably figures out the truth too, but doesn't acknowledge John Redcorn because he views John Redcorn as a philandering deadbeat.
      I think Dale also takes his marriage vows as sacrosanct and unbreakable.
      "yeah, I know. I stopped caring years ago, because I love her still. Joseph is also my son, whether he's my biological son or not. I could be angry, I could do things out of spite, and it hurt to be betrayed, but I want Joseph to have a good father who loves him."
