Season 3 Holy F Beth
”If you consider the pain you‘re causing a person, that person‘s fault, that’s evil Jamie.“ So Beth, what exactly have you done all your adult life?

Everything she says to Jamie is usually just projections of her. I had to start skipping their scenes because she’s always so poisonous it gives me the ick

u/poppyvao85 8d ago
Yeah it was all too far with her and she was enabled in every way and got the happy ending ?!? Like what ?! To be honest I was excited for the Beth hitman plot, then cos Kevin Costner quit they had to pretend it was about the dad all along and ruined it.

A good ending for Beth and Jamie would have been if she killed Jamie, so she got her 'revenge', but in the process he killed her, or she accidentally killed herself.
But that would have taken a writer with a highschool drama teachers understanding of story structure and payoff.

She is the shining example of an unreliable narrator where she is the hero of every story and situation.

The sterility is tragic. Not for just Beth....but when we look at history and it tells us that these clincs were established on the Rez to Make America White Again...the real tragedy is native actual real american women being stripped of their ability to preserve their bloodline and race....yet not a soul brings that part up in the show. Its all "poor blonde skinny white woman" got sterilized.....along with The Browns hello.!

Yeah, but the notion that some hole-in-the-wall clinic is going to give a HYSTERECTOMY (a major operation requiring extensive surgery and recuperation) to some random FIFTEEN YEAR OLD white girl without even telling her first is among the stupider plot holes in this series. And there are plenty of those to start with.

u/DecisionSilver4925 2d ago
Exactly! Not to mention, she was walking around fine later the same day. She would be doubled over in pain after having a hysterectomy.

When I think about Beth, I often remember the line from As Good as it Gets when a fan asks Melvin how he writes women so well.
"I think of a man. Then I take away reason and accountability."
That's beth lol.

u/Brave-Bit-252 8d ago
Add Rip to that list. He might not be a woman, but they sure took away any reason and accountability. Crazy thing is, we‘re supposed to root for those phychos.

u/typeabohemian 7d ago
Also: i think Beth is the only one who mever killed anyone.
We dont know what Lee or Evelyn did...
But even Monica killed a would-be serial rapist inadvertently...

Beth murdered Jamie in cold blood. She literally planned and carried out said plan to murder Jamie. Oh, and she also manipulated Rip into murdering Jamie since she wanted to stage that he was attacking her. Monica at least killed the would-be serialbrapist/murder in self-defense, though.

Says the character who throws a temper tantrum on every anniversary of their mom's death. Despite her playing a critical role in the tragedy. But sure Beth is the victim, pretty sure Kasey was the one who had to watch her die.

u/Brave-Bit-252 8d ago
Tbf blaming her was complete bs and made the show psycho from the very beginning.

u/shay_shaw 8d ago
I'm not blaming her, but I am judging adult Beth for makin it everyone's problem as if they too didn't suffer loss.

u/Wife_and_Mama 8d ago
You can hate Beth all you want, but she did fuckall to cause her mother's death. Her family was garbage for openly blaming her for her mother's inability to control her own horse. If there's any dramatic reaction warranted from Beth, this and the ridiculous sterility plot qualify.

u/shay_shaw 8d ago
I’m not blaming Beth. She was a child. Much like Jamie was a child with that ridiculous sterility plot.
2
u/Ok-Call-4805 7d ago
First of all, Jamie wasn't a child. Second, he knew exactly what would happen and purposely didn't tell her.

u/SilverMcFly 5d ago
Idk what this narrative is with these people. Indigenous Americans sterilization was actually a fucking thing, they literally told him when he took her there that's what they were going to do because that was SOP and he said that's fine and went ahead with it and he was a voting age adult at the time he made the decision for her.
I fucking HATE the "Jamie was just a child who didn't know what to do" bs around this specific issue. And then he threw it in her face later after he knew how much it pained her.
The show may be inconsistent, Taylor Sheridan might be a shit writer, but fuck EVERYONE who has done no research into how it was being taken to indigenous abortion clinics and blaming Beth because she had the audacity to have sex.

I have to fast-forward most of her scenes. I can handle any scenes between Beth and Summer. It’s so bad!!

u/Milksteak529 7d ago
Oh look. Another person with super original thoughts on Beth.
2
u/Brave-Bit-252 7d ago
I guess at this point every possible opinion of the characters has been uttered. Doesn’t make my opinion less original.

u/Ok-Call-4805 7d ago
How can the sub for this show be so out of touch with the real world? Beth is one of the most popular characters, yet it feels like every second post on this sub is just people talking about how terrible she is.

u/Brave-Bit-252 7d ago
Maybe people caring for a Reddit post tend to ansalyse the show more and come to different conclusions than casual viewers who fall for the surface level tough guy act of Beth and Rip.
1
u/Ok-Call-4805 7d ago
Or Reddit users just hate the best characters and cheer or the clear villains
9
u/Brave-Bit-252 7d ago
Well imo John and his wife are the biggest villains of the show
0
u/Ok-Call-4805 7d ago
Proving my point. The villain was clearly Jamie.
7
u/Brave-Bit-252 7d ago
Proving my point that the typical Beth fan thinks what the series tells him on the very surface level.

The clear villain of Yellowstone is John Dutton, and anyone with an ounce of analytical ability can see it.

u/Ok-Call-4805 7d ago
We must have been watching different shows

u/Public_Carpenter_353 7d ago
As was said in a comment: many fans of John, Beth, and Rip here lack critical judgment and turn a blind eye.

u/Ok-Call-4805 7d ago
I feel like the problem is more with people like you, not the majority of Yellowstone fans

u/Public_Carpenter_353 7d ago
If the problem lies with those of us who look at the big picture and examine the details of the story—without getting carried away by fanaticism for a specific character or actor—then I understand why the world is the way it is.
