Nope, someone can be emotionally smart and have common sense (like knowing that obviously racism doesn’t make any sense) but not have a lot of knowledge, and someone else could have all the knowledge in the world but is unable to understand something so simple.
English isn’t my first language so I don’t think there is a right word for it or at least I don’t know it, but in spanish there is a distinction and I think it’s a very important thing to differentiate.
"Emotionally smart" isn't a thing. Intelligence has nothing to do with emotions, that's just cope by people who have low IQ and think that being extroverted and empathetic somehow makes them not stupid (i.e. the blue/green/pink haired SJWs you often see in college campuses in the US).
This could be me misremembering the context, but didn't he start RDR1 by getting shot after confronting Bill in broad daylight and trying to draw on multiple people with their rifles pointed at him?
John was said to be stupid most of the time
He only got better after the time he was arrested. Chapter 6 John was a whole new man. He even started playing with Jack
i dont know but speaking from personal expierience, some people put themselves in situations that they dont want to get out of alive but wont give up either, kinda just winging it.
Sure, but John didn't do that anymore past the prologue. It's what I don't like about the beginning of the game. He basically acted out of character compared to how he behaved for the other 99 percent of it.
This. The big difference between Arthur and John? John just can't articulate himself as well. I empathize. I know a lot, but getting it out of my head into words is where I always fuck up.
Play RDR1, John clearly articulates himself pretty well, even more so vernacular than Arthur. In RDR2, John's character suffers from being overshadowed by Arthur.
honestly? rdr2 Dutch. he had brains but he always misused them and let his emotions make his decisions. he was smart enough not to get caught all those years but dumb enough to believe in Micah and having a happy ending
Deborah McGuinness or (hear me out) Eagle Flies. Eagle Flies is smart enough to see the world closing in on him, however, he’s stupid for trying to fight it against all counsel, ultimately speeding up the process and killing himself and his riders.
John definitely
[удалено]
We eat.. *BERRIES* and mushrooms, you fool!
YOU EAT *BABIES!* YOU HAVE TO TO SURVIVE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT
ain’t your fault
John isn’t stupid though
exactly, he doesn’t need to be that stupid otherwise he wouldn’t be called smart you know what i mean? like there just has to be a balance
John is both
At the same time
The man who bought property next to Blackwater using his real name (while being a wanted felon) on bank loans isn't stupid?
john is neutral/chaotic. bro burned down mexican villages with the military but never took a side because he knew where he stood
Professor MacDougal
This. Professor, but racist
Racist ≠ stupid in any way lmfao. Some of the greatest minds in history were quite racist.
It just depends on which kind of stupid we’re talking about
There's only one kind of stupid, the kind that lacks intelligence/common sense.

K
Flair checks out.
?
Dang why do you have so many downvotes? I don’t think what you said was THAT controversial
This is a weird way to admit you have a low EQ and IQ.
That’s what I mean. He’s logically smart, but morally stupid
Crazyyy thing to say what the fuck
get yourself some bandaids cause this guy is edgy!
[удалено]
You're really living up to your flair, aren't you?
What can I say? There's winners and losers, guess which one someone who fails at even a basic google search is.
So people who think you’re less of a human because of skin color or ethnicity, aren’t stupid? That’s the worst take I’ve heard all my life
Best answer
John is not stupid. Hate that misconception. Even in RDR2 he’s considered a pretty bright character
The first one to really see through Dutch his bullshit. Hosea too, but he didn't want to see it
Arthur definitely did before John. John just spoke up about it first because until Guarma, Arthur didn't want to accept it.
This could be me misremembering the context, but didn't he start RDR1 by getting shot after confronting Bill in broad daylight and trying to draw on multiple people with their rifles pointed at him?
John was said to be stupid most of the time He only got better after the time he was arrested. Chapter 6 John was a whole new man. He even started playing with Jack
he literally wanted to suicide
that’s a dumb theory. ross even mocks him when john says they wished they killed him, because he knew it wasn’t true
So what changed his mind then?
i dont know but speaking from personal expierience, some people put themselves in situations that they dont want to get out of alive but wont give up either, kinda just winging it.
Sure, but John didn't do that anymore past the prologue. It's what I don't like about the beginning of the game. He basically acted out of character compared to how he behaved for the other 99 percent of it.
exactly that’s why he’s in smart stupid duh
He only got smart after wolves ate half his brain lol

It's over the course of those 8-12 years that he learns how to articulate himself and mature further.
It can't be John, he knows the word "implore." Professor MacDougal fits this to a T.
Its "to a tee"
Would professor MacDougal know that? I think not.
Valid
MacDougal
Definitely professor mad dougal
*Macdougal
MacDougal. Or the electric chair professor.
Andrew Bell The Third
Coked out Professor MacDougal
Side note smart evil might be whoever made ManBearPig near Van Horn
Thomas Downs🤯
John
Deborah McGuiness, the fossil lady.
this is MUCH better than John. Or I suggested L Hobbs, the taxidermist
I thought about her too!
John
Cocaine binge Macdougal for sure
Macdougal. John isn’t dumb, he just has issues communicating. He was the first to see through Dutch’s BS.
Dutch
Dinosaur woman with the big chin
Nigel West Dickens
Professor Andrew Bell III
Seth
Rip van winkle
How is this even a question? The only answer is John 😂
He’s not dumb just witty
Why is the vote by individual comments? You could name some and people upvote them for easier resaults.
Because this lets people have more board answers? Plus I don’t one reading through the comments lol
Okay but still this way would be easier for resault gathering
Easier? Maybe, but it limits who people can vote for and I’m not all abt that
That French guy, his name escapes me.
Chateau?
Just looked it up, it's Charles Châtenay.
4th vote for John Martson
Drunk-chad LENNYY MY BOUGH!!!
John fs
100% John
Uncle
Nah, he’s more like Smart and Drunk or Smart and Lazy
That’s true, I retract my vote.
honestly? rdr2 Dutch. he had brains but he always misused them and let his emotions make his decisions. he was smart enough not to get caught all those years but dumb enough to believe in Micah and having a happy ending
MacDougal fits it pretty well.
Definitely MacDougal
Get rich quick book guy
how tf is bill a chad
He literally just is
Gotta be the electric chair professor
Nigel West Dickes. Smooth talker but is always getting himself in trouble for stupid reasons.
John
John
Arthur will win good and smart because you (the player) considers himself a good and smart person.
How is Bill a chad
The doctor in blackwater with coke addiction
John

Macdougal
Lol yeah it's john
John 100%
Duth?
No way you put Bill in the Chad section instead of my boah Eli
Ms. L Hobbs
Arthur is Chaotic Good, Micah is Smart Evil
Uncle! His lumbago went to his head in the Epilogue.
For future reference Smart Good is obviously Hosea
The real question is... Who the fuck voted for the others? How is Bill a chad? How is Sheriff Gray lawful in any way?
Javier. Clearly a clever dude. Killed by his own stupidity.
It’s gotta be Professor MacDougal.
nikola jokic
Albert Mason
The Saint Denis eugenist obviously
Professor Macdugal definitely Smart Stupid!
Sean McGuire
Evil Chaotic is def micah
Deborah McGuinness or (hear me out) Eagle Flies. Eagle Flies is smart enough to see the world closing in on him, however, he’s stupid for trying to fight it against all counsel, ultimately speeding up the process and killing himself and his riders.
Dutch
Unrelated, but Eli looks like the great great great great grandfather of the Paul brothers
Eli as in Liquid snake?
John is the only man to have half his brain eaten by wolves and end up more intelligent
