Please don't turn the Final Season into a action movie Telltale
ANF felt more like a action movie then an actually adventure, horror drama story. So I don't want season 4 to have the same mistake. People want to see a slow-pacing story where the characters can fully develop in it. Not a fast-pacing story with explosions and forced drama.

Wait...
are you tellin me people dont like swinging over gaps with helicopter blades?
It blew my mind how proficient Javi was with guns. His action-hero, no-scope-headshotting ass should have been able to clear out America of walkers by now.
But yeah. No more Hollywood-type action sequences, please. It was immersion breaking and certainly not the reason people came to love the series in the first place.
Actually a good balanced mixture is ideal. Walking Dead doesn't need a slow talk show all season either to put players to sleep.
I agree. We need a final season that focuses more on making believable interesting characters as opposed to big explosive action sequences. The main downside of ANF was that there was so much emphasis on the action we rarely got the chance to breathe, get to know, and grow attached to the characters who will later be at risk. While actions sequences are important to make an apocalyptic story entertaining they aren't as powerful if you haven't gotten attached to the characters whose lives are on the line. What we need is balance with more emphasis on creating characters that are complex and interesting who we can grow attached to over time so when the action scenes come we are able to feel scared for the characters and when characters die their deaths will stick with us and affect our emotions througout the entire season. You need to have a fair balance of ups to feel the downs. If all the moments you have are sad and/or negative than you eventualy grow numb to those feelings and the sad moments don't have much of an effect. You need to have victories as well as failures. One of the reasons season 1 and 2 especialy season 1 was so powerful was the way we had moments to get to know the characters and build up friendships. Especialy the scenes with Clementine and Lee. You see that the world is rapidly going to hell but there is still light left in it that is worth saving. These moments made the sad moments all the more crushing and the happy moments all the more soothing.
Reprising the parent child role isn't a bad way to end the series. In fact I think it is the perfect way to end the series but in order for it to have an effect on us it needs to be handled well. AJ is still a toddler building an attachment and a sense of responsibility for him will require a little more delicacy developing but is still entirely doable. For example we need:
quietly puts my fast & the furious collection back on the shelf well ok, if The Batman says so... I guess my hands are tied! Sorry, Toretto!!!
As long as I’m not sitting through 2 straight hours of full on dialogue then I don’t care what telltale do with the final season
Yeah, I think it ought to be an emotional road-trip type thing.
like beyond two souls mixed with life is strange.
Although without the hipster cringy-ness in the last one. Then again, with clem's haircut, we're already off to a bad start...
