Huh, I actually have to think a little bit to answer this. If I had to guess, Kenny is very unlikely to hurt her considering:
All in all, I'd think he wouldn't mind having her along and would at worst yell at her if she made a considerable error
Unless she accidentally dropped the baby, right?
(plss, don't kill me this is just a jk.)
It is sorta what I am getting at...if she does something to almost get AJ killed...I am not sure she would live long.
Well, see, that's where it gets a little tricky to decide. After all, Jane and Arvo did things to convince him that they weren't to be trusted around the baby that caused him to treat them the way he did; meanwhile, Sarah isn't very confrontational and doesn't really do much of anything in general when he's around(much like some other characters), so he has no real reason to be as violent towads. However, if she did indeed do something that legitimately threatened AJ, he would not be too happy with her--that much I can agree on.
I think, if there was no one around to say that Sarah is kinda new to this whole zombie survival thing it could go 2 ways. Either she'll continue to shut down and inevitably die from something like her first death in the game or snap into something like Clem with Kenny and Clementine's help. Clementine's development took time and I think that's what Sarah needed after Carlos's death. Sarah may have had PTSD, but I believe that Clem and Kenny could have helped her through that since these two could relate to her the most (losing family). Remember, she was eager to learn from Clementine and help until horrible shit started happening to her then she just wanted everyone to stop being mean. I say Sarah would have a chance, but that's me.
Until the player fails one of her QTE's! xD
If we're being serious, I don't see those two ever having a special connection in any kind of world. But we've seen that Kenny is willing to protect the people he love, so if it was just Kenny and Sarah, he would make her a reason to keep going and to protect her at all costs. So yeah she would survive. If the actual apocalypse came and I got paired with Kenny, I like my chances.
I'm sorry, I know late in saying this and don't wanna start nothing, but it just occurred to me what a stark contrast there is between "Sarah being friends with Jane" and "Sarah surviving with Kenny." As if those two such hypocritical assholes that that's the distinction where Sarah's involved: she would have an easier time just surviving under Jane's cold logic while scoring much easier with Kenny's volatile emotion.
Throughout the entirety of Season Two, the most that Kenny did to acknowledge that Sarah was a person, with anxieties, goals, fears and desires, was when he said "well, you three have been busy" while she was decorating the Christmas tree. He showed no sympathy for her when his own words inside the truck in "In Harm's Way" left her in tears and terror; nor he pronounced a word of disappointment after either of her deaths an episode later.
Nothing tells us that he cares about her.
Sarah has been shown several times to cease to react while under stressful situations; what if she were the only one able to save AJ and she didn't? Would Kenny prove to be understanding of her anxiety, or would he lash out at her like he has done with Ben, Arvo and Jane? Is there anything that suggests the case would be the former?
Actually, if you pay attention to him he does show visible concern when he notices she's crying, hence why he and Carlos stop arguing initially. He also seems genuinely worried about her when Carver is goading Carlos into slapping her. It's very subtle things, which is unusual considering who were talking about.
Well, that's one of the many x5 things that make her "canon" death a dumb writing choice, especially considering he was already yelling at Luke about the entire observation deck scene. You would think the former family man who is attached to newborn black baby would bring her up in outrage to drive his point about Luke's sudden irresponsibility home.
I just thought about something....Kenny can only love 1 thing at a time...S1 he loved his family to the detriment of others. S2...he did not love Clementine....he loved AJ...when Clementine was freezing to death he was more interested in punishing Arvo. Clementine was just a useful tool...much like Lee being able to knock a few heads together. Even if Clementine wanted to do something else that the group thought was best...he would badger her and use her popularity to try and get his thing.
Well the absolute most sarah can do is say "Thats horrible" if she hears his family died. She never shows any interest in him either.
Thats an issue with most season2 characters, they all bond with clementine so quickly but pretty much ignore anyone else. Thats why a lot of the conflicts felt forced, the characters barely acknowledge each other.
Oh sure...but hell I am bored and talking about these things is at least entertaining. I am at work and darn it no one is sick(Good thing).
I feel like, since Carlos was in the picture, Kenny just minded his own business and didn't want to interject anything that would cause involvement in someone else's daughter. But when it came down to it, I think he did care about her as a human being and as a child, he just usually had no reason to interject or interact with her. And I think if he had to step in and take care of Sarah he would have, but the problem was a lot of crapola was happening all at once. I also feel like if Sarah goofed, Kenny would go easy on her because one, he has to see she's delicate, and two, she's a female child so I think he would treat her gently.
Well...isn't it better he die young than have to grow up in this hell? Jane is just trying to do the best she can.
Uhhh...did you get bored or something because you mention Sarah's name as if it is a statement?
Agreed.
Well everyone dies besides Clementine.. so not long, that not being Kenny's fault ofcourse.
You know what's funny? Kenny isn't even in that scene.
Seriously, he's not there. Go back and watch it. Everyone else but Kenny can be seen during that part.
It's extra weird since Carver mentions him during that scene, too; "Kenneth will be taking over Reggie's duties outside the walls..."
I don't know if they just meant for him to be off-screen or what, but you never once see him during that entire scene.
Come to think of it, Mike and Nick aren't there, either.
Sarah's opinion on Kenny is irrelevant to the discussion. The thread is on how Kenny would react to Sarah; however, it is true that she barely acknowledged him, too.
I agree, a hundred percent, though we still have to accept what we received as canon; there wouldn't be a point to even discuss the season otherwise!
Now that you mention it, I believe that's true! Your point is validated.
So much for this point, as @Deltino has debunked it.
I will just assume this confusion was due to the inaccuracy of human memory.
He isn't! Da fuck?! I could've sworn I saw another moment that had him show concern at something related to her or Clementine.
As for why he isn't there, I'm guess he and Mike already went to work, but still!
The Mandela effect at work, I suppose.
Interesting question. I don't think she'll last too long. I believe that her mental issues would cause a lot of trouble for the both of them, and Kenny would end up dying while trying to protect her. Sarah on her own wouldn't know how to survive even with Kenny's teachings. Honestly I think Kenny would have tried lecturing her, teaching her a few things but more protective than anything else. Pretty much like Lee before they met Chuck. I liked Sarah, wish we could have kept her around or alive. Raise a glass. Here's to hoping that we run into a few child characters that haven't hardened so that Clementine may know what it's like to be a kid, again!
There are just so many different occasions in which either Carver or another resident talks to them, in that same position, that people apparently get them confused. I know I do.
Here here.
Not that it really matter at this point.
Sarah wouldn't argue with Kenny even if she disagreed with him, so I think they would get along outwardly. If A.J. and/or Clementine were there, they would obviously be Kenny's priorities, but I don't think he would ever try to hurt Sarah even if he got upset with her by her dependency and hesitation.
I know. Where is mourning for this poor girl?Sarah's death should've driven Luke to think about his "childish" acts, as Kenny puts it.
