5 Reasons Why John Dutton Is The Real Villain In Yellowstone
With the series finally coming to its end after six years, Yellowstone season five’s momentum has started a lot of debate among fans, as the showrunners are eventually killed off in the story. However, one of the most shocking deaths in the finale was the death of its lead character, John Dutton. Creating a dividing atmosphere within the fan community, with some believing the character is better off dead, while others believe that he finally began showing some redeeming qualities.
Nonetheless, the overall portrayal of John Dutton was of a true villain. From John Duttons clothes to his attitude, he has represented control, manipulation and violence. At the same time, some people may argue that he’s an anti-hero or a patriarchal father who wishes to protect his family. Throughout the series, the man himself gives the representation a narcissistic evil who believes in violence under a delusional belief that his actions are acts of righteousness. So today, we’re going to discuss the five main reasons why John Dutton was a real villain in Yellowstone.
Reason #1: He Uses Power to Control, Not Protect
Starting with the first episode right away, John’s portrayal showcases his influence over law enforcement and local politics to bend outcomes for the sake of his ranch. However, the man himself made a promise to protect the Dutton family’s legacy. Throughout the series, he does so by operating above the law through control and violence.
Reason #2: He Sacrifices His Children for the Ranch
Simpler said, John is a man who would sell his own children for the sake of his ranch (not exactly a protective father). For example, in episodes like Long Black Train, Half the Money etc, he forced his choices onto his children, Beth, Jamie, and Kayce, into roles they didn’t choose, while also mentally bullying and manipulating them, making sure that trauma is passed down as a duty rather than healing them.
Reason #3: He Justifies Violence as Tradition
As a man who craves violence, for John, crimes like Murder and disposal of enemies were normalized, as he believes that is the only negotiable language that works on his enemies and rivals. His violent habit became a tradition, as an excuse to avoid moral responsibility, that bloated his narcissistic ego.
Reason #4: He Opposes Progress at Any Cost
As a man who opposes the change, John blocks development plans regardless of the collateral damage. He would use workers, politicians, and communities as expendables to be sacrificed or removed if the progress threatens the preservation of this land, while believing modernity as corruption rather than inevitability.
Reason #5: He Sees Himself as the Hero – Even When He’s Not
Having a narcissistic and sociopathic mindset, John’s character has the classic villain traits, thinking of righteousness without accountability. Throughout the series, he rarely ever acknowledges his wrongdoing unless it serves a strategy. He believes moral authority comes from legacy rather than ethics, thinking he’s the last line of defense against chaos.
Why Viewers Still Root for John Dutton
Despite being evil, John has shown some redeeming characteristics from time to time in the story. This makes John reasonable compared to many antagonists, not just by being a defender of a dying lifestyle. Kevin Costner’s top-notch performances humanize John’s character, adding relatability to his flawed and tyrannical personality by reflecting anti-heroism.
What Yellowstone Is Really Saying About Power
At the end of the day, the moral of Yellowstone represents that any power maintained through fear eventually consumes itself. John Dutton reflects this perfectly, representing old authority while refusing to evolve. He does so to preserve his ranch, even if the price comes at the cost of human life. It raises the question: is preservation worth destruction?
Conclusion
John Dutton is an ideal representation of a villain. His actions and obsession to preserve the Dutton ranch show him as someone who would choose to become a monster without thought or doubt, regardless of the consequences. Even his Yellowstone jacket subtly represents his controlling character.
Although he might be a lead character in Yellowstone with some redeeming and heroic qualities that show empathy and justice, his overall acts of control, manipulation, and violence portray him as a villain who represents danger.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights leader, Baptist minister, and founder of Operation PUSH and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, has passed away at 84, his family confirmed.
Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Jackson rose to national prominence during the Civil Rights Movement, marching alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and advocating for racial equality, voting rights, and economic justice. After King’s assassination in 1968, Jackson continued organizing and mobilizing communities across the country, focusing on expanding opportunities for Black Americans and other marginalized groups.
In 1971, he founded Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity), an organization dedicated to improving economic conditions in Black communities through corporate accountability, education initiatives, and voter registration drives. He later established the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, broadening his mission to build a multiracial political movement centered on social and economic justice.
Jackson made history as one of the first Black candidates to mount serious campaigns for the presidency of the United States. He ran in 1984 and 1988, helping to expand the electorate and encouraging greater political participation among minority communities. His campaigns emphasized coalition-building and introduced issues of economic inequality and civil rights into mainstream political discourse.
In recognition of his decades of advocacy and leadership, Jackson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the nation’s highest civilian honors. Throughout his life, he remained a vocal advocate for peace, voting rights, labor rights, and international human rights causes.
Rev. Jesse Jackson’s legacy is defined by his commitment to justice and his enduring call to “keep hope alive,” a message that resonated across generations and helped shape modern American politics.
He leaves behind a lasting imprint on the fight for equality and a movement that continues in his name.
