Am I the only one...
...who actually LIKED Sarah in Season 2? In so many places, all I see are people bashing her, calling her "useless and annoying", and saying they were glad when she died. I actually liked her; she had just such a sweet, naive nature, and from the moment she was introduced, I was hoping that she would survive. But nope, Telltale decided that she was to end up in walkers' stomachs instead. Seriously, I feel like the only one who liked her...

Nah. I like her too.
I didn't hate her nor did I really like her. I thought she was an interesting character and I just felt bad for her up until her death.
Sarah was one of my favorite characters, because despite being coddled by everyone, she was pretty strong, she wanted to learn how to survive but no one really helped her in that aspect. I still dislike her Observation Deck death. I was honestly hoping that she'd survive and not just play the role of the 'nice person who dies'. Her character had potential but they decided to just cull her off in Episode 4 regardless of your decision.
A form of this thread gets put out every few days, yes most people didnt like sarah but yes on here most people love sarah
Yes, you are literally the only person in the world who liked her
I liked Sarah. She was my favourite character in Season 2 and she is the only one. I was SO upset that she died. I made Jane pay for what she has done with her. She wanted me to ditch her AND the group.
You don't even know everybody in this world.
I wanted to save her, but I found her annoying. I was hoping Clementine would just be really mean and toughen her up.
What I didn't like about her was that she was completely weak and immature. I really hoped that through the game you could help toughen her up a bit, but unfortunately you never could
But other than those traits I have disliked, I think that as a character she was very well written, and I actually liked her. It doesn't matter if you hate certain traits of a character, or if you like other ones. What it comes down to is the way the character is written, and she was written pretty good. Look at it this way: she was a kid that grew up in a harsh world where everyone took care of her, and she was never allowed to try things out for herself. While on the other hand, Lee taught Clementine how to use a gun, he taught her how to survive, and she was exposed to a lot of danger that helped her grow her character. Sarah was... kinda isolated from all that. And even though I hate her traits of weakness and immaturity, I like her as a character because her attitude and character make sense. Also sorry if what I just wrote makes no sense whatsoever lmao
No, that was good and those were pretty much my thoughts on her character
Who even cares about her anymore. She was useless and dead by now.

Wow a bit hostile arent we? No need to call me silly.
Just disproving what you said
Pity you weren't around the forums when S1 was coming out. Ben was a lot more hated then Sarah. Sarah got a lot more sympathy then Ben because she's a young girl. I remember putting a thread up saying Sarah was the new Ben where telltale made her keep making mistakes and screwing up like Ben did and man did i receive some hate comments after a simple observation.
Simply put, majority of people wanted Ben to die after all the things he did, but then when the last decision came in around every corner, a lot of those people began having sympathy for Ben.
She's one of my top 5 favorite characters of both seasons. I was really heartbroken when she died and I made Jane pay for killing her.
No Regrets.
What on earth did jane do to her that means she had to "pay"
I mean she wanted clem to leave her because she felt she was a lost cause (which there was a lot of evidence for), But really she does more for sarah than most of the others, she stays and helps her and clementine out of the trailer and then attempted to save her again.
How did Jane kill her?
She doesn't do shit to convince Sarah to move, she really doesn't want to learn from her mistakes. She is the reason Clem can leave her to die. Later, she and Luke were having a good time when there was a BABY about to come out, Jane didn't let him do his job to search for walkers nearby. I don't care about their loss or life, Jane and Luke fucked up.
She made that offer with Luke and they were caught off guard. If they weren't so "busy", Sarah would still be alive.
I dont see why thats anything to do with Jane, she doesnt even know sarah, let alone be responsible for her. Plus lets be honest its not like she could say anything to sarah that would even resonate let alone actually cause her to move
?
Well thats not true, the dozens of walkers attacking are the reason that clem can leave sarah
While Luke should have been keeping watch i'm still not seeing how them having sex caused any of the problems. Rebecca is having a baby at the time its not like they could have done anything about the approaching herd or gone anywhere else. They would have all ended up in that shack regardless (a shack jane found and cleared, by the way) I still cant believe people take a moment put in for a brief bit of humor so seriously.
Okay, I want a step by step of how Luke and Jane not having sex leads to sarah surviving. They couldnt fight off that massive horde, they cant run away as rebecca is barely able to move.
They were supposed to be on watch, and if they weren't busy, they'd see the walkers, run back to the group and warn them. That's what would've happened if they weren't busy. You can disagree if you want.
Right step one complete they've warned the group.
Now what?
Remember rebecca is pregnant and can barely move, the horde is too big to deal with.
What about Michonne? She doesn't know Sam yet she does help her get to her house
Clem didn't plan to let Sarah die, Jane TOLD her to let her die
They did, Luke didn't warn about them approaching, instead Sarah did.
As I said, Luke was supposed to warn the group about them. I don't care, Luke and Jane fucked up
Not sure what this has to do with anything. Jane helps group members at various points including attempting to save sarah when she falls.
What are you on about? Clementine decides for herself what she wants to do, jane doesnt make her do anything. In fact Jane actually does whatever clementine decides to do. Also I dont think anyone planned to let sarah die, they just felt that was the only option given the walkers. (and to be fair they nearly all get eaten alive if you save sarah)
Also your still not explaining how luke and jane having sex led to sarahs death. If luke had warned the group instead of sarah nothing would have changed. Im still waiting for you to explain how them not having sex would have saved sarah.
@AronDracula, please help me.
As much as I liked her, I never understood how anyone can blame Jane for her death.
she's ... fine ... ו guess
The only two times Sarah messed up and that affected other people was with reggie and with scaping the horde, I don't think that's really enough for me to hate her :P
Less walkers would have reached the deck if the group moved faster
Another thing, Luke didn't even plan to slap her, it was the only thing which made her move. Luke is such an idiot. I'm telling you again, Jane told Clem to let her die, do you not get that? Clem never said something like "Guys, let's go, Leave Sarah". That's why the option existed.
Michonne never knew Sam before and had no reason to be on her side yet she helped her get to her house.
If they were warned, less walkers would have been around. Luke and Jane fucked up
Dont you understand how herds work? They all follow each other, the ones at the back wouldnt have just stopped following
Ive always found the way to save sarah weird, why does slapping a girl having a panic attack suddenly make her move as such I cant fault luke for not hitting a child in the face in the hope she would move for some reason. Clementines raw emotional reaction made sense but there was no logical reason for it too work.
Yes, Jane does not want to save sarah as she thinks its pointless as sarah is going to die soon anyway as she cant handle the world (which while pretty horrible isnt exactly wrong, I never saw any evidence that sarah would ever improve). Still yes that was wrong and I dont like Jane for that, also like I said I dont think anyone wanted to or planned leaving sarah particularly clementine a child who shouldn't even be thinking about things like that, (yes jane says she does but I dont think even you view that she enjoyed leaving her to die).But again its clementines decision if she leaves her. Them leaving her is a purely survival based choice in which they dont see any other option.
Again after all this, Jane and Luke still do all they can to save sarah, regardless of either of their opinions on the matter.
Ah yes perfect Luke and Jane having sex suddenly caused more walkers to be around. I think you've got to admit your wrong on this, luke and jane having sex may have been risky and foolish but it didnt cause sarahs death or lead to it.
She wanted to learn how to shoot
How can you even prove it? You mean slapping a naughty boy who doesn't listen to her parents to do what he has to doesn't change anything?
Except, Jane wasn't? Her job was to get the gift shop on the observation deck open, and she did. Luke was supposed to be on watch until everyone came back, and he failed to do so.
@Firewallcano is right on this one. Even if Luke had been on watch, and would've alerted the group a couple minutes before the herd had reached Parker's Run, the walkers would've followed him there, and would be next to the observation deck anyway. They could've even had to move before Mike, Bonnie and Clem had come back, which would've only made the situation worse.
They LET them roam around their group.
The only one we can really blame is Carlos, for not letting her learn how to protect herself.
I...what? Sarah was having a breakdown she wasnt thinking in terms of consequences, how can you compare her to a brat who isnt listening to there parents. There was zero evidence hitting sarah would make her snap out of it
Like a child who didnt understand it at all, and that was one of her better moments. She asks clem to show her, copies what she says and then points a gun at her. It was kind of like a game to her and she never brings it up again.
Not to mention this was before her father died, the one thing that was keeping her sanity in my opinion was him. Any time before his death when she is separated from him she breaks down and panics and only really recovers when he returns. Maybe she would have recovered but I didnt see that much hope for it, still all of this is kind of irrelevant to the debate about jane and sarah.
