The fanbase is ready to defend Jimmy’s honor vehemently due to his status as one of the most likable characters on “Yellowstone.” He is arguably the last person who deserves such an unhealthy relationship. And looking at the couple retrospectively, many fans on YouTube pinpointed how Jimmy traded up.
“Mia loved him for what he could’ve been who she made him to be but Emily loved him for who he was already for his dreams and goals supports him in anything but doesn’t mold him into a person she wants him to be,” posted @jennmcallister7428. Jimmy never seems to live up to Mia’s expectations, but she is still irrationally angry about his fiancee, insisting that Jimmy should have fought for her.
“Bit of relationship advice: Don’t make the people you love fight for you,” @foolslayer9416 noted. “People fight for the ones they love because they can, will, and want to. Not for an ultimatum on someone else’s behalf.” No one is likely to disagree with this sentiment, but Jefferson White still wanted to find the upside to Mia’s character when he spoke to CinemaBlend. When the outlet asked him about how he felt about fan outrage over the character, White tried to be as diplomatic as possible.
“You know, it’s interesting. I think it speaks to how good an actor Eden Brolin is, who plays Mia,” White said. Instead of dragging down Mia, White rolled out the niceties as only the actor who plays Jimmy could.
