Context YMMV / HatfieldsandMcCoys

Go To

1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Selkirk [=McCoy=]’s voting to acquit Floyd Hatfield of pig theft. He does voice a good reason (the testimony of Bill Wallace) that makes it sound reasonable to give Floyd the benefit of the doubt but as he is also employed by the Hatfield family, he might have been biased.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The score is beautifully done and really makes the mini-series that much better.
3* CatharsisFactor: Seeing AxCrazy Jim Vance and his accomplice Cap Hatfield being ambushed and hunted down by the Mccoys, although Cap escapes.
4* {{Narm}}: [[spoiler:Randall's death]] for some, due to Bill Paxton [[LargeHam hamming it up like mad]].
5* TearJerker:
6** Johnse's wordless but very emotional farewell at Roseanna's grave.
7** Cottontop when his father dies, not to mention when Cottontop dies himself, as a scapegoat.
8** The murdering of the three [=McCoy=] brothers, particularly since the youngest of them was basically innocent and had already tried to defuse the feud partially by telling Roseanna his brothers had Johnse.
9** Say what you will about [[{{Jerkass}} the despicable Jim Vance]], but it still absolutely destroys you when he has to put his dog--who stayed by his side during battle--[[ShootTheDog out of its misery.]]
10* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Several real-life experiences of characters could have been very interesting but go unmentioned in the story.
11** Nancy [=McCoy=] having children with both Johnse Hatfield and Frank Phillips could have provided a look at how the feud is affecting the most recent generations of the families and given her a more conflicted role as TheMole.
