Yellowstone Spoilers – Dutton Ranch vs. GoT’s King’s Landing
Yellowstone spoilers reveal that, according to LAD Bible, the show is being dunned the “redneck” version of Game of thrones as fans are equally hooked by the modern-day western drama. For those just tuning in, Yellowstone follows the Dutton Family and their daily struggle to defend their large Montana ranch, from land developers who want to take it from them as well as those who wish simply to ruin the Dutton family.
As the neo-western in set in Yellowstone National Park, the stunningly visual sets could very well rival those of Game of Thrones and King’s Landing. However, epic backdrops and horseback riding aren’t the only things the Paramount+ hit series shares with the HBO epic.
Fans Compare Yellowstone’s Rip Wheeler To GoT’s The Hound
Fans have become keenly aware of the similarities between the two shows. One fan tweeted, “I’m convinced. Yellowstone is just redneck game of thrones. It also could be redneck Peaky Blinders. Regardless, I’m liking the show.”

And much the same as with Game of Thrones characters, fans can’t get enough of Yellowstone’s John Dutton and his cold-blooded nature. In fact, one fan recently tweeted that Dutton as a “thug.” A fan wrote, “Finished S1 of Yellowstone and it’s the cowboy version of Game of Thrones. And John Dutton and his cowboys are thugs lol.”
Fans Weigh In On Yellowstone/GoT Similarities
And Twitter isn’t the only social media platform on fire with Yellowstone/GoT comparisons. One person on Reddit compared Yellowstone’s Rip Wheeler to Game of Throne’s Sandor Clegane, known as The Hound.
The Redditor explained, “Both of them are a product of their environment/circumstances, having experienced extreme violence and abuse as children. But they have not been entirely ruined by it, as perhaps others might be.”
Another viewer noted that “the difference is that The Hound isn’t a static character. He shows growth throughout the series. We dislike him at first but grow to really like him. By the end of the series he is a fan favourite. Rip has been the same character the whole way through.”

I’ve put up with the violence from Game of Thrones and Y-stone bc got hooked on the stories, but enough’s enough, I haven’t been terribly tempted by 1883.” Be sure and stay up to speed on this and other Yellowstone-related stories.
