Should Clem die?

Now I know I am messing with fire by even suggesting this but should Clem die? Hopefully not next season but sometime in the future. I personally agree that she should go out in the most heroic way possible(Saving life,kickin ass). Now for those who say, "Well I don't want her to die maybe she can find a safe place and they can end her story." Fat chance there is no safe place plus even if there was I want Clem too much. If they kill her I would get over it but if they didn't then I would always wonder what happens to her. A way I feel I could move on is through a legacy of hers; A child she may bare or AJ. Plus you must remember that everyone dies(Unless you're Rick from the TV series.) Huh now that I think about Clem could be like rick the female version. Screw it tell me what you think, or if i am just a piece of trash that writes boring discussions.

  • Death for the main protagonist is a fucking CLICHE.

  • I am not saying that when she dies she should be the protagonist. Her legacy(Child or Aj) would be the protagonist while Clem would be the deuteragonist by that point. Valid point though.

  • It's kind of sad, but when thinking about the answer to this I realized that I really wouldn't care. After so many characters I cared about in these games suffered so many random deaths, I think my brain is programmed not to be atrached any more.

  • Not even attached to Clementine?!?! Well I guess thats cool. I just built up the attachment as soon as she was introduced.

  • Don't get me wrong, she's my favorite character. There just isn't enough going on within her story for me to be invested.

  • In 20-30 game years yes. When she and AJ have reunited, she's taught him how to survive, and she's an experienced wanderer who sacrifices herself for somebody she loves. Clementine's a fallible human being the same as Lee and Kenny, but it would be senseless to have her die for nothing.

  • If your after more realism in your story then probably so.. eventually. Something weird must be up when you have just about every other child character gone besides Clementine. Kenny's luck must be rubbing off on Clementine then. But as Jane said... Give it enough time and everyone's luck runs out.

    I know I'm not going to whine like probably most will if it came to Clem biting the dust but long as it isn't idiotically written and believable. Might be hard to do but you just need someone clever to come up with it. Lee had a good one though the way he got bit was kind of dumb a little.
    But with Clem that might be impossible. Because no matter how you choose to kill off Clem. Everyone will call it dumb or bad writing because they want Clem immortal, but ask them how they'd do her death better and they cannot tell you.lol Or actually come up with something worse when they think it's ingenious.

  • Yeah I think the worst thing would be another Jane and Kenney flashback except it would be AJ remembering how she died. Yeah if she dies of some shit like sickness(Other than a bite) I will never play a Telltale game again.

  • Yeah sure why not, never liked her anyway.

  • If Clem dies we riot.

    Seriously though, if Clem dies this series dies. For a lot of people, myself included, Clem IS this series. I wasn't one of them, I was ok with it, but a huge number of people were already pissed when she was taking a back seat to Javi this season and I've heard rumors that that was the reason for the story rewrites midseason which severely lowered the quality of the season. Imagine how much angrier people would be if Clem was dead but the series went on. The only way Clem can die and it be acceptable to the majority of the fan base is if it's a noble, extremely well done death, similar to Lee's, and it's the final season. If Clem dies and they continue the series, no matter how noble or well done her death was, a great number of fans will refuse to buy future installments.

  • I agree with everything you said, it's true...I think the game would die if she died. Even if she doesn't appear in some content, or takes more of a backseat similar to ANF, her dying would symbolize there is no hope in the ZA at all. Sometimes you need 1 character to live on to keep the hope up of the audience. If Clementine can't survive with all that has happened, what chance is there for anyone? What is the point of even continuing to watch if you know every single character will die or go away. Lee's death was really well done, as it served a purpose to continue Clementine's story of survival. But her dying would serve no purpose in my opinion, and most fans would be too mad to continue. I personally would still be interested in other stories, but I think it would be a huge mistake by Telltale.

  • I'm kind of worried they're gonna try to do a full circle with Clem and have her die to save/protect AJ like Lee died to save and protect her and if they do that I'm gonna be so fucking pissed.

  • I think it could happen but, I'm thinking Telltale would be afraid to do it because Clementine has a massive fan base and I always see people saying "If Clem dies I'm not buying the next game" so I doubt they will. But to be honest I don't want her to die either because I don't want another Lee cliche where she dies to protect AJ, if they want to end her story, instead of killing her of they should end it to where she is a leader of her own community and she uses everything she learned to keep her community safe, that's how I think they should end Clementine's story.

  • Haha, I know what you mean but personally I think they should never end it and keep her living (I really don't want her to die).

  • If it's respectful towards the character and isn't done purely for shock value, then sure why not?

  • No. Not every character should be killed off the moment their story is "done." Because you can have a character go away for some time and return when it's right. Had Clementine stayed away from season 3 and return in season 4, that would have been something special. There would have been more time to have her story be something other than just "I lost AJ" which was never resolved.

  • Damn right she's Rick motherfucking Grimes of the video game. After Telltale has finished her story, Kirkman should bring her into the comics (this way we know what'll happen to her next), and hopefully, she'll never die; years down the road, she should grow old and raise a family with Carl while leading Alexandria together. That last part is just wishful thinking of mine, but I would absolutely love for that to happen.

    If she's going to die, at least make it a noble death or have her build a community that is stronger than most and finish the series there.

    The series started off as a story about Clementine's survival and it should end as a story about Clementine's survival.

  • As much as I love Clem, I'd definitely like it if she had a proper determinant fate, with a proper conclusion of both fates she has. But that sounds like a dream too good to be true, at least for me.

  • enter image description here

    Nope....she is going to die at a ripe old age of 112.

  • We've been following Clementine's story for three seasons now.

    Killing her off now would just be a major slap to the face for all Telltale's TWD fans.

    So I'll just put it simply: NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

  • If Clem dies we riot.

    LOL I don't mean to laugh but I always interpreted that as. "If we don't get our way we are gonna kick our legs and throw a tantrum." Folks say the same about Daryl too. Life will continue, for those that have one. No pun intended.

    Well that's one way to save a few bucks.

  • Yeah that's why I was joking and followed up with "seriously though," to indicate that I wasn't being serious with my previous statement.

  • Also about the series dying. I agree the fact that the series would be hurt a lot if Clem does die and I think Javier was a test to see how bad things would get without Clem around. Not saying that a good story and great characters aren't possible without her there but she's just the biggest character of the game that if she did die it cannot be the level of trash they sent Kenny and Jane out on. Clem's death basically will have to top Lee's to be acceptable and good for me.

    Yeah that's why I was joking and followed up with "seriously though," to indicate that I wasn't being serious with my previous statement.

  • I'd rather see Daryl die in the show and Rick die in the comics than see Clem die.

  • Hell yeah. Thats a good suggestion in fact the only good one i've seen yet.

  • Funny how just about each media of TWD would be devastated if that were to happen with one of those characters. Comic might actually still have the best chance of going strong without Rick in the near future if Carl took over.

  • My final conclusion is don't kill her because she dies and so does the Telltale community. I officially declare Clementine the female Rick. Also I saw a comment about Carl and Clementine being a thing and sorry but Carl is way too ugly. Better Clemenarl than Gabentine though lol.

  • The only way I'd remotely be okay with Clem dying is in a romantic (read: heroic, idealized) way and only after she gets a lot more development. But I don't for a second think TTG can pull it off so I vote no.

  • At this point, Clem dying in the games would be the equivalent of Rick and Carl dying in the comics. The comics are ultimately a story about Rick and Carl and how they cope and survive the world just like the TellTale games are a story about Clem and how she copes and survives. The comics wouldn't be able to go on without Rick or Carl and the games wouldn't be able to go on without Clem.

  • It's possible the comic could go on without Rick or without Carl but lose both Rick and Carl and the comic is done. There's no one to match Clem in this yet and probably never will be. Javi was fine, I liked him, but he's nowhere near the level that Clem is in regards to player investment. No joke, I'd bet all the money I have that if Clem were killed off most people would be done with the series and it'd never recover. If TellTale killed Clem then made another installment it'd flop super hard and they'd lose tons of money.

  • Carl's not ugly. you crazy. Though he is currently banging Lydia or whatever that whisperer girl's name is.

    My final conclusion is don't kill her because she dies and so does the Telltale community. I officially declare Clementine the female Rick.

  • Sorry man Carl is one Ugly guy.

    Carl's not ugly. you crazy. Though he is currently banging Lydia or whatever that whisperer girl's name is.

  • Doing it once was enough. Clem is the focal point of this TWD story. Killing her would mean the end of this TWD story.
