Omid as the Season 2 Protagonist

Red PandaRed Panda
edited November 2012 in The Walking Dead
Makes senses, doesn't it? We hardly know anything about him. He's only had a few lines. He has Christa and potentially a new baby to look after, and Clem.

He's an ideal character for the player to control and make decisions for.

I'm not advocating for him to be the season 2 protagonist. I'm not too fond of him as a character, but I'm saying it would make the most sense of the current cast.

    he is comic relief, not leading man material :)

    We know even less about Christa, tbh, even though she's had more presence. Also Christa is the one that usually save's Omid's ass, not the other way around. Omid even said so himself.

    Christa for season 2 protag! :)

    I do like him and hope to see alot of him in ep 5.
    Sucks that he was sick through the whole ep 4.

    ..I'd like that too.
    Or Kenny, If he survives. He can take care of Clem! Yay for Ken!

    There's no way Kenny will live. He's probably just as likely to be the cause of his own death as the walkie-guy, or walkers, or anything else really. Omid probably wouldn't be the best lead for season 2, and I think they'll just come up with a new cast.

    omid survives to the end chapter is sat on the boat happy he lived about to say something awesome to clem /christa but suddenly a walker jumps out the water and claims him.

    I don't think any person of S1 will be a protagonist in S2, maybe 1 or 2 characters from S1 will have a short appearance, but nothing beyond that.
    You have to keep in mind that the player shapes the personality of the protagonist. All characters of S1 already have a personality shaped by TTG, it just wouldn't leave enough room for the player to decide how to play with already knowing Omid is that little geeky and generally nice and optimistic guy.

    Nah, the character's too well defined already. I think if they do a character that we've already seen then it will be Molly, unless her character is further developed in ep 5.

    Now playing as Molly I could get behind. But she's a loner, not a team player, so it would be harder to do.

    Omids funny and drawn brilliantly. But no. He could be there.

    collecting every kid and puppy along the way most likely^_^;. I think whoever's alive will have a cameo or something, at most be a member of the next group, but probably won't be the main chracter

    I agree, they should just start fresh with new characters to keep it all moving along, they should start where episode 5 season 1 finishes and start from there, if they started from the beginning of the zombie apocalypse, then it would be crap!

    I don't think many if anyone will survive the final episode. I hope at least one person makes it, but I have a feeling no one will :/ and I agree, Kenny will probably die because let's face it, he is one of those characters who you just know isn't going to make it. I don't know why it just has that vibe....

    just because it starts from the beginning doesn't mean its crap

    Well they'd have to tread carefully, for me, it would be a bad way to start it because you would feel like you played through all of that only to be started again at the beginning. But that's my opinion.

    Well you started in Macon which is one city in Georgia there are 5 other major cities and some little towns. in my opinion there's a lot of "stomping ground". The could start at the begining in some big city or etc. that's something different

    Yeah, that would be okay, but I meant if they started at the beginning and covered the same sort of story, but that would be okay, but I still think that I like the idea of starting where season 1 leaves off.

    I don't think they will continue anything from season 1. I do think Omid will end up taking in Clem after Christa and Lee dies though.

    I'd rather it be a new story since Lee dies. Won't be the same without him so might as well start with a new character from somewhere else.

    I think clem will be in season two. one because there's probably gonna be some connection from one to two. and secondly TT asked us to keep our saves, but for what? I think because clem will be in season 2 and she will act like we raised her.

    Yeah. I want her to be in season 2 because I really like her character and even if she is annoying and dangerously stupid, at least she is nice and not a worthless piece of shit lol.

    The only way Omid could take the lead in Season 2 was if they were going to run his story concurrently alongside Season 1 so you can find out everything that had happened before the tanker. I don't think it'd be that interesting, he doesn't seem too worn down.

    I'd prefer the story to flash forward x number of years and see Clem be the protagonist. It'd be SO awesome seeing her kick so much ass..

    Omid was.about as useful as bull tits. I pictured Lee pushing the torch head into his hands, bitch slaping him & pushing him into position to do the final.cut on the truck hitch.
    Hell, he couldnt even jump from the bridge without nearly becoming zombie food.

    Only reason I could potentially see Omid as the lead for 2 is because Telltale so far how foreshadowed things with various lines and then had them come to pass. Lee starts off the game with normal for only a little bit then get's in an accident on a vehicle and injures his leg. Omid starts off normal in the game for a little bit then get's in an accident on a vehicle (train) and injures his leg. I mean it's a far jump but maybe it's them hinting. I dunno.

    what if it is about 9 months later, first episodes Christa is heavily pregnant and the last or near last episode she gives birth, a pregnant woman/baby would be a good way (just like clementine) to make people care about others instead of being all about survival.

    it could be Omid as the protagonist but someone cooler would be better, or maybe we will be christa and be pregnant and slow

    Omid is so cute and I love his personality. I can't really see him as a main character but i'd love it. I hope he is in the next group though in Season 2.

    Yes! Omid and his pissed off cat! Christa can tag along I guess...
  • cfergscfergs

    I'd be content with Omid or Christa as the leading character in the next season. That being said, there's no guarantee that either of them will survive episode 5... Guess I'll wait until then before throwing around my crazy theories! :)
