One way to look at the Red Dead series is that the 2nd game is a classic western while the 1st game is a spaghetti western.
The 2nd game starts off with a more friendly, happy environment. Despite the gang committing crimes, they’re presented as a tight-knit family that gets to have fun every now and then. For example, Arthur and Lenny getting drunk at the bar. As the game continues, it slowly turns into a more harsh, unforgiving environment. Gang members start dying left and right and that feeling of comfort you had with your gang family disappears.
So, when Arthur dies and John takes over, the age of the classic western ends and the age of the spaghetti western begins.
That’s why RDR1 is pure grit and sadness from beginning to end. Even if you never played RDR2, there’s a feeling of despair and loneliness that permeates throughout the game. John, compared to Arthur, is bitter and more ruthless. John is the more morally grey protagonist, especially during the Mexico arc where he showed a lack of empathy towards either side of the revolution.
There’s a YouTube comment that I think perfectly summarizes this. Arthur Morgan is a John Wayne cowboy since even though he can do awful things, he’s generally presented as a hero trying to do right by his loved ones. John Marston is a Clint Eastwood cowboy since he tows the line between good and bad. Even though you like him since he wants to do right by his family, he’s incredibly ruthless and more inclined to commit violence than Arthur was. What also makes this comparison works is that it fits with the change in the eras; John Wayne represented the early classic westerns while Clint Eastwood represented the spaghetti westerns that premiered afterwards.
I just watched the Lachryma music video

Heart palpitations
Recently learned that the color of the vest and tie Arthur wears during the Saint Denis ferry gambling mission changes depending on if you have high or low honor (blue for high and red for low) so now i am obsessed with the idea that the prominence of the colors red and blue on certain gang member’s outfit also reflects their honor level.
Whittemore variants versus Arthur’s default outfit, which doesn’t have a scrap of red on it, however no matter what his blue shirt is always fucking dirty and stained. And remember the gang criticizes you if you have blood all over you.
Hosea wears the blue vest (sometimes brown) but he generally has his red neckerchief on, but he also owns a red and black scarf. Mostly good but a little bit of bad.
Red is prominently featured on Micah. His entire shirt is red and he’s usually wearing his jacket like he’s disguising his nature. Even the the grips on his guns have red. And when you rescue him from Strawberry he does not have his coat.
Dutch is the most interesting to me. He has the checkered red scarf which he rarely wears and the red pocket square over his heart. Only the back of his vest is red, like he’s in denial about it, or that it’s only possible to see who he is when he isn’t facing you and putting on a show. Meanwhile on guarma his vest is suddenly reversed!
EDIT: addition
When Hosea is killed he is wearing a completely different outfit with a blue vest and absolutely no red, and both Milton and Dutch are covered in red!
