The Crimes of Leviticus Cornwall - Red Dead Redemption 2

[@Fizhy]

A Red Dead video? After 6 long months? Oh aye.

[@sophiesoph_08]

This video is just perfect timing since i literally haven’t touched rdr 2 for months and I’ve been addicted all over again this past week 😭

[@austindewalt3769]

I was about to unsub thinking you wouldn’t return. I know that new video ideas are scarce for a 6 year old game but still.

"You kill, I kill, you rob, I rob...only difference I can see is I choose whom I kill and rob and you destroy everything in your path." Gotta give it to Dutch, he might have been crazy, but he was 100% right on Cornwall there.

[@Longshanks1690]

@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Except no, he had it completely backward. Cornwall, as a pillar of society, relies on order and stability in order to conduct his business. He will treat rivals and threats without mercy but so long as you are of financial use to him, he will work with you. But Dutch? Dutch thrives on chaos, and at his heart cares for nothing besides himself. He doesn’t care how many of his own gang have to die to pursue his dreams, he will continue on no matter the casualties and no matter the cost. He will lie, make excuses and do whatever he has to in order to survive. Even people like the Wapiti who did nothing to him he is prepared to sell down the river to create some “noise” to mask his escape. So it’s the other way around - Cornwall chooses who he kills and robs. It’s Dutch who destroys everything in his path

[@trevorforbes9274]

​@@Longshanks1690 depends how you see it I suppose. Cornwall definitely doesn't choose. his oil makes the water toxic, and his mines make your lungs black sorta thing

[@Longshanks1690]

@ Cornwall dumps poison into Annesburg’s water because he considers it necessary to keep the mine profitable. Dutch would just be like “ORTHOR ORTHOR WE NEED TO DUMP LEAD INTO THE TOWNS WATER SUPPLY ORTHOR ITS GONNA CREATE SMOKE AND NOISEEEEE ORTHOR STICK WITH ME SUHN!!!” Even when taking that aspect of his business into account, Cornwall is still more in control of the damage he inflicts on the world than Dutch.

[@MrJOJ]

​@@trevorforbes9274wouldn't have had current conditions without them starting off so shit. I'd say people like Cornwall are a necessary evil. Dutch is evil for the sake of being evil.

[@Longshanks1690]

@@trevorforbes9274 Cornwall allows his mine to seep lead into the town’s waters - and presumably their drinking water too - because he considers it necessary to keep the mine open and profitable (and his investment worthwhile) Dutch, on the other hand, would just be like “ORTHOR WE NEED TO DUMP LEAD INTO THE WATER ORTHOR, ITLL CREATE SMOKE AND NOISEEEE SO WE CAN GET SUM MUNEY ORTHOR, STICK WITH ME SUHN!!!” Even when taking that aspect of his business into account, Cornwall still has a greater degree of control over the damage he inflicts on the world than Dutch does.

[@Longshanks1690]

Cornwall is one of the more interesting characters in the game, not as a character in and of himself, but in terms of what he represents. Cornwall is, in many ways, the personification of 1899 America; Industrious, confident, successful but also callous, cruel and prideful. What he is for certain is the personification of everything Dutch despises and aspires to; wealth, power, success, legions at his command and the capital to make his visions a reality. That hatred and envy is what drives Dutch to rob his train in the first place. The actual bonds are a third rate goal, slighting Colm O’Driscoll is a second. What actually drives Dutch to ignore Hosea’s pleas to silently keep moving west is the idea that he can take from the man who has everything and have him be none the wiser. And that decision is what damns them all, among Dutch’s others. Like Brontë, Cornwall is a foil to Dutch as his mirror, and his equal. Cornwall is every bit as arrogant, prideful and vengeful as Van Der Linde himself so he dispatches the Pinkertons after them, not because this one train was any great loss but because the insult to his standing and honour is something he cannot abide. Despite not appearing in much of the game, Cornwall looms over the story as a constant threat being a patron of Milton to ensure the agent can enact his justice on Dutch so that Cornwall can get his revenge. Again, the metaphor for America comes into play; the alliance between the state and titans of industry bringing an inescapable sense of law to a land that was previously considered wild and untouchable by taxmen and lawmen. This also ties into Arthur as he can no longer run from his own sins and has to accept that time is over, but I digress. The point is that Cornwall exists as a manifestation of this era of American industry, the thing Dutch despises but also the thing that he is helpless to stop. Both men are presented with the chance to let it go; Dutch could have let the train chug along and Cornwall could have accepted the meagre loss given the depths of his fortunes. But because of their equal pride, both men were committed to see the destruction of the other, even if in doing so, all they did was ensure each other’s own ruin instead.

[@shaktikesavan9113]

It's sad to think that if Dutch had let the O'Driscoll's rob the train, Cornwall would have gone after Colm instead. The Van Der Linde Gang could have escaped in all that confusion. Even in Chapter 6 when everything was going to shit, if Dutch had really listened to the conversation between Agents Milton and Ross and Cornwall, he was planning on cutting funding for them anyway and if Dutch hadn't killed Cornwall, the Pinkertons would abandon their pursuit of the gang and what was left of the Van Der Linde Gang could have escaped.

[@Longshanks1690]

@ It’s even sadder to think that it wouldn’t matter at all in the long run. Dutch’s personality is just too prone to self-destruction to avert for long, the opening to the game being them on the run from one of Dutch’s disasters when Hosea and Arthur apparently had a much safer scam going on. And that cycle would just keep repeating. They could have had a safe spot being sponsored by the Grays in Rhodes but could Dutch help himself? Nope, he tried to use both families and ended up getting Sean killed. Saint Denis is more complicated because the Pinkertons were only following them due to Blackwater and Cornwall but it still seems likely that heist would have ended in disaster too. Eventually, even in Tahiti, Dutch would have been unable to help himself and caused a needless tragedy because he thought he was smarter than everyone else. That’s the true tragedy of RDR2, so many technical ways the story could have been improved but the sobering reality that so long as Dutch was incapable of fighting his own nature, it was always going to end up like that one way or another.

[@shaktikesavan9113]

@ Absolutely! Dutch’s pride was a big factor in everything going wrong. Even in Saint Denis, if they had done what Brontë had wanted them to do, Brontë himself would have never allowed the Pinkertons in Saint Denis due to the fear of losing an important asset and likewise, the Pinkertons would not want to go to Saint Denis due to the fear of pissing Brontë off. Dutch’s ego, pride, and inability to live and let live costed him everything. It truly is a masterpiece of a game as it shows how human nature can be the end of us all and it also shows that no matter how smart or strong you think you are, there will always be a bigger, badder bully to put you in your place.

[@BattousaiTheSeeker]

This was bars, thanks for giving a newfound depth to the story 🤙🏽

[@ah2176]

The problems with most people who have ever lived on earth is that the best things about us is usually simultaneously the worst part of us. And we are constantly tested in various ways throughout our lives. The characters in Rdr2 all show a bit of this common trait.

[@iamwhoiam7887]

Fizhy: ...'insist?' Us: yeah... insist. Fizhy: of course pal! *Releases new rdr2 video*

[@eco1828]

Im glad that even after six years, people are still making long extensive videos about this game

[@tylerbueche7557]

hurry up babe new fizhy rdr2 video just dropped

[@xxeman445xx]

Being named Leviticus is up there for me

[@lemmyspeaks]

No different than any industrialist. Think about a guy like Cornelius Vanderbilt who was the railroad industrialist, John D Rockefeller was the oil magnate of America, and Andrew Carnegie who controlled the steel industry. Cornwall was no different than any of these industrial tycoons in fact o think he’s a combination of all 3.

Would that be his crime, though... or his parents? Lol

BABE GET IN HERE THERE'S AN HOUR LONG RDR2 FIZHY VIDEO OUT THE BLUE

[@smavi4133]

Checked this channel out yesterday, after one year and saw that the last RDR content was uploaded half a year ago. “Well, time to say goodbye to RDR I guess” I thought. Few hours later dude uploads a new RDR video lol.

[@iamwhoiam7887]

I believe fans of his channel ... insisted on new rdr content.

[@2LiterJayThe20YrOldDouchebag]

He's doing videos on games that are just as good as RDR that are riped with lore. His Skyrim videos are excellent.

[@andysmith8902]

RDR2 and RDR1 now on Steam too and there are many new players (on PC) in the game including me (over 65 yo). I think we need these kind of excellent contents to understand how great is this game.

[@kilojayfalcon]

So crazy, been on a RDR2 video binge again lately, just always love reliving this game as I believe it truly is the best fictional story ever written (along with Arthur as the best written character of all time) and my FAVORITE RDR2 video maker makes another banger. THANK YOU FIZHY!

[@ScythosMusic]

Same!

[@mariahmckinney8741]

I discovered this channel recently and I’ve been watching it for days now 😂❤

The books on the train don't mean that much. Books were kept as a sign of wealth at the time. At one point, someone made fake books to fill out personal libraries

Don’t underestimate Fizhy random KZbin commenter that knows everything.☝️🤓

[@fatimaa4612]

I can't tell you how much I enjoy these red dead videos, I got hooked in when I first came across your night folk video. These gloomy london nights don't seem all that bad when I get to sit back, relax and watch your videos 😊

[@AerynKDesigns]

I'm really glad you make these, because I'm the kind of guy that just follows along and while I do pay attention to the quests and notes, a LOT of the time I miss all these connections. Also your voice is lovely company so that's good.

[@richardsylvester4518]

By the end of the game you finally realise that the villian is Dutch and Cornwall and the Pinkertons are just scapegoats. Thats the point.

[@carltonbanks5470]

Dutch isn't a villain the entire game. He turns into one by the end.

[@sadie_xxo]

Hi Fizhy I love your videos so much, I rewatch them because they help me fall asleep every night❤️❤️

I just started getting in RDR2 again, this video was perfectly timed

[@bennewbury2572]

Hey Fizhy would you ever consider doing videos on Titanfall and Titanfall 2? There’s a lot of lore in those games and I’d love to see you cover them in your format

[@protendi]

Oh boy, this has absolutely made my night!

[@Longshanks1690]

19:55 This is the one thing about Cornwall that makes absolutely no sense to me. 😂 So, he’s so incensed about Dutch that he comes out of whatever pad of luxury he lives in to confront the gang leader directly with a platoon of hired guns, makes sense so far. He’s shouting for him to come out, he’s not messing around and is determined to confront him. But as soon as Dutch comes out… he leaves… what? 😂 What was the point of him coming in person only to leave right before he has the chance to actually confront the man he’s spent so much money pursuing? If he had sent one of his lieutenants in his stead, this scene would make more sense and show his wealth and power even more as he doesn’t even see Dutch as important enough to come himself. But if he’s going to do that? He actually has to stay around for the end result. It seems clear they wrote this scene cos they wanted Cornwall there but also need him to show up later so they have him ride off before Arthur can dead eye him even when it makes absolutely no sense for him to do so given he came all the way out to Valentines in the first place. Overall, the writing in this game is very tight but this is one of the parts where the writing was not as strong as it could have been in this scene.

[@Feat_feature]

Not to sound mean or rude, but i think they made it that way to show hes a coward who uses paid men for his work rather than doing it himself. Again, not to sound mean or rude.

[@Longshanks1690]

@ But his presence there contradicts that idea. If he wasn’t there and only sent his minions after Dutch, I’d completely agree with that assessment… but he’s brave enough to turn up but too cowardly to actually face Dutch face to face? That just doesn’t add up.

Could you do a video on the character Alberto Fussar? Like a deep dive if possible?

[@wxwaxone]

Is no one going to mention that Leviticus Cornwall is just a straight ripoff of-or homage to, if you prefer-Mr. E.H. Harriman, the rich vengeful offscreen railroad baron in BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID? It’s not like Rockstar hides this fact: the scene where they try to break into the armored car is almost the same as a scene in BUTCH. Nothing wrong with ripping off the best, and both tales are about colorful robber gangs; but let’s not let this key source for the Cornwall character go unmentioned!

[@Synto56]

If you had to make a new Red Dead game, what would you want to see @Fizhy?

[@josephbulkin9222]

Wait, so who succeeds Cornwall after he dies? His businesses are still very much operational after his assasination.

i may be wrong but is cornwall based on rockefeller?
