Bigfoot is the ultimate upgrade that Dwight Manfredi did not realize he required in Tulsa King Season 2.
Being big, full of character, and extremely loyal, he adds muscle and an intimidation factor that was lacking within Dwight’s crew in Season 1. However, it is not only about brawn; Bigfoot is shaking things up, bringing about new tension, alliances, and plotlines that fans look forward to unraveling.
His dramatic introduction, coupled with his presence as a dominant figure in several action sequences, makes Bigfoot a fan favorite and the game changer of the Manfredi crime family. Since Dwight is also under the growing pressure of other mobsters and local businessmen, the presence of Bigfoot as a reliable bodyguard enhances his odds of holding on to power and surviving the swelling wars.
The character is a combination of humor, philosophy, and brute force that redesigns the role of a common mob enforcer in the show.
Why Bigfoot made the best bodyguard for Dwight Manfredi in Tulsa King Season 2
Bigfoot, portrayed by Mike “Cash Flo” Walden, is anything but a typical strongman. He is literally a gap filler for what Dwight and his crew in Season 1 lacked: pure muscle against real dangers. Critics and fans alike have said that the introduction of Bigfoot brings much-needed physical dominance to the already cunning strategy of Dwight, and he would be a much more realistic and capable crime boss in the future.
He has an immense influence on the dynamics of the story and the characters in Tulsa King Season 2. First, the size and fighting abilities of Bigfoot guarantee the protection of Dwight during upcoming fights with other rival mobs, such as the Kansas City mob, as well as influential local rivals.
Additionally, the character of Bigfoot, who is intrigued by psychology and is ready to do anything to provide the family with food, further enriches a role that might have been viewed as a one-dimensional enforcer. The ability to be both funny and threatening comes at no cost to the tonal variety of the show.
Speaking in terms of storytelling, Bigfoot allows other characters to take on new roles, including Grace, who becomes part of the management, and Fred, who becomes more integrated.
Critics concur that the entry of Bigfoot increases the momentum of fighting scenes, which makes the action in Tulsa King Season 2 more entertaining and closer to the truth. His physique has been termed the secret ingredient the show required to increase the intensity and excitement in combat scenes.
The reference to the old school of crime tales is clear: as Vito Corleone had his muscle in Luca Brasi, now Dwight has Bigfoot as the invincible bodyguard.
