My personal favourite protagonist of all time. The character of John Marston is someone I became fascinated by every since 2010. I often forget these games aren’t real, and aren’t apart of history. That’s how well written & immersive these games are.
I'd say Arthur's is tied because Arthur's death helped to ensure John got the chance he did at a new life. Arthur's death becomes even more tragic when what happens to John happens because it means Arthur died for next to nothing.
@@randomlyentertaining8287 ye but I would say johns death is a lot more realistic then Arthur's, johns death is unfair, out of nowhere and I think that really adds to how tragic johns death was
@@kinghashbrown7998I'd even argue Arthur's can be seen as unfair. Everyone he trusted, dead. Only him and John left with Dutch, his mentor for 21 years, siding with someone new to the gang and actively trying to kill Arthur, as well as belittling Arthur the entirety of Chapter 6. It was so angering and unfair.
@@noobguy57 true but what I meant was the entire chapter was leading up to his death. As soon as he got turbuculosis everyone saw it coming. That isn't a bad thing and I wouldn't have his death any other way but John Marston death was a shock to me because it happened right at the end of the game with no warning whatsover. I wasnt just Sad I was frustrated and thought John deserved so much better. I think that's the one of the best reactions you can get of someone from a character death
When I started RDR 2 and first saw John, I got so excited and I remember yelling "he looks so young!". I give my boah some good amount of hours in the epilogue.
I would love a game about the early days of the gang where they're not constantly near civilisation just surviving on their own and the final mission would be the start of the boat Robbery
@@danieliusj9192 Maybe the epilogue will be about Landon Rickets when he was at the boat robbery and when he fled down to Mexico or maybe Jack in the 1920s
If you play RDR2, the Callander Boys are always mentioned. Mac Callander is especially held in high regards by everyone. Almost everyone in the Vanderlind gang says something positive about Mac with the exception of Charles. Even Agent Milton brags about how he gave Mac a merciful death after giving a hard fight during the aftermath of the Black Water Massacre. Makes you wonder what kind of story he has to be always mentioned like that.
I love Arthur, one of the best protagonists ever written in games, movies, plays or books But John Marston will always be my favourite, Legend of the West is a fitting title for a man that took on the gangs, the Mexican Army and eventually the American government by himself pretty much all to see his family again.
i finished rdr today for the first time since rdr2 came out and i gotta say john's death hit me a lot harder than arthur's, he works so hard for nothing
I would love a Red Dead Revolver re-make where Red Harlow tells the story as it actually happened, not the 'legend' that the first game was written off as.
That was the point though. The game was basically the stories that were told about red harlow, some might have happend, others would have been a work of fiction
@@clongshanks5206 While it has been alluded to, I feel Rockstar would want Red Harlow to be a much more badass old name, and not have him treated as laughing stock by Arthur and John, and the timeline doesn't match up.
I love these origin videos. Thank you so much for keeping up the Red Dead content. Cause I will forever be obsessed with this game and always on the hunt for new videos about it and your channel always delivers in spades.
part of me thinks that the reason why john kept bringing up his worries about jack potentially being "abused" when being held by bronte is the same reason he ran away from the orphanage
I love Arthur to death, but John I could relate to more and I did love that character. His struggle in fatherhood made him a character hated but we see his first redemption in RDR2 when he becomes a Family man and does Abigail and Jack right. RDR1 was his Second Redemption story. I love Arthur, and I love John. But one character I need to see is Jack, and I mean Adult Jack. At the end of the day, RDR2 wasn't just Arthur's story, it wasn't just Johns past, but it was Jack's Origin story. RDR1 was apart of it as well, and then we seen what all of that created, and it created the angry gunslinger known as, Jack Marston. I'd love to see a movie based on the Gang's origins, or a series, and the next game to be about Jack and The New World.
rockstar nailed the rdr universe so well, of course you might hate them for making micah and killing off the best, but that emotion and attachment to those characters really makes you see how well the game was put together
John is the only one of the main criminal charaters besides Arthur who tried for redemption, the other only left the life of the gang, I think it was his family that made him try to do better
That happened after the events of rdr2 but before the events of rdr1, you never hear anything about her other than John say “I had a daughter” as far as I know
@@smokey7127 prob just John and his family chilling at the farm. Maybe John and abigail had a daughter but she died in childbirth. Probably about a year after the rdr2 epilogue.
This has me thinking about how much traveling did Dutch made during the 1880s and early 1890s since he found John and Arthur when they are at least 12 years old
Welcome to a new episode of "random video that popped in my youtube feed and now I'm subscribed". Also I just rembered that me and my brother had a copy of RDR 1 for years but didn't belong to neither of us and later discovered that it was borrowed from a friend and kinda forgot about it. Don't worry we gave it back (unlike my copy of Black Ops 1 that was never returned)
in the first game he does whole heartedly agree with dutch still. he still continues to spew the robin hood narrative to people who ask about his past, or compare him to other criminals , and truly believes they were doing a good thing or acting in the favour of society.
He doesn't. He just tells people what it was and he doesn't judge any of them that were in the gang. He knew dutch was a crazy guy that lost his way and was killing just to kill. And he tells Javier to his face that they all knew it was an excuse to just do what they wanted. He didn't agree with dutch but he also didn't hate him. John was a guy that figured out that everybody has bad and good in them. He didn't want to be judged about his worst days so he didn't go around judging people off of their worst days.
See that, I learned something new today! I was always under the impression that Dutch shot that unarmed woman in the head DURING the gunfight with the Pinkertons. I had no idea that this is what actually sprung the "trap"
When I was a kid and rdr 1 came out i thought they couldnt make a cooler character than John, and this isnt a diss to john but its so impressive they cooked up John who we loved and then Arthur who we love even more
Many people always jump to 2 idea for rdr3 for Jack that don’t match the theme of a western. him in ww1 the USA doesn’t get involved in that until April 1917- November 1918 even still not every last person old enough to go fight was drafted to do so we don’t need to put him in the war for the story. As for prime mafia Era that don’t start until 1920 but at that point it wouldn’t be a real red dead game anymore because red dead is about western adventures. We still have 1914-1919 to follow up on the storyline of Jack after killing Edgar which realistically is a really logical Choice to eventually explore. given one of the main themes of this franchise that being “actions have consequences” and technically considering the last decade acknowledged on western timelines is the 1910s it’s not like we’re stepping on the toes of any other major crime era.
John was remorseful when he commited his first crime. Hesaid that he thought he deserved for God to strike him down after it and a part of him hoped he did.
I feel like John should have had his own notebook but it was already filled out it wouldn't show a lot of bad drawings like in Arthur's book when he gets it and it would show another bit of what happened on the ferry heist and what he did on his year away from the gang
Origin of John Marston it's Scotland. In Chapter 3 when he was talking with that middle aged or old man from Gray's in their place he said to him my people come from Scotland makes him half Scottish and half American because his born in America.
Purists have to say they have to do a good person with a lot more money and I think they will have a better time to play with them and are willing and better for the players who are the players and are not the only team in this country and are willing and proud of their team in this country but they have been in a game for the last few days but they have to play the same game and!!!!!

Do one on Davey Callendar's origin (there is suprisingly much information available on him).

I mean fair play to Rockstar
John, Arthur, Niko, CJ, Tommy, Michael, Trevor and Franklin
They make amazing main characters
John Marston is such a great character. Haven’t played Rdr1 yet but I really liked him in the prequel. He seemed like a chill and a dumb guy.

the origin of bobert b Bobertson needs to be next

John Marston is very interesting Tragic Antihero of the Red Dead Series.

Red Dead needs a movie franchise or tv show. Badly. (But not one that just spins its wheels for 10 seasons for the sake of additional material.)
John , Arthur and Charles Are my favourite characters
mine too
Next you should do the origins of hosea
Now do a video on the legendary gunslinger Rip Van Winkle
