S2 choices kinda suck if you hated Kenny?
Really, Ive hated Kenny from S1, the choices in Ep.2 were decent, you could actually tell people you dont like Kenny, but Ep.4 and Ep.5, the dialogue choices didnt make any sense to me.
Whenever someone asks Clem if Kenny is all right, the only reaction is either, he's fine, he's strong, or a concerned response.
I started by saying "He's fine." not as a vote of confidence, but as an aloof response of complete indifference towards his well being. Then, I started going with the concerned response, like "I dont think he's all right", again though, Clem phrases as though we should help him, when I really mean everyone should just not trust him at all.
So Clem kept saying things that were really frustrating me, which I felt ruined the dialogue choices. Coupled with the fact that I had no qualms with Jane killing Kenny (never tried to help Kenny in that fight), it made the final choices really easy (felt we should have just abandoned Kenny anyway)
It was also hard to express my disdain for him because I had 0 sympathy for Arvo, dont understand why we would ever take him with us in the truck. I didnt want to tell people "Kenny crossed the line" because he didnt. I wanted him gone because hes a moron that always tries to force everyone to do things his way and takes matters into his own hands even if hes expressly told that isnt what the group wants.
In the end, the majority of my choices ended up being silent, which I felt was quite boring, just watching it happen. Now we all know the "choice matters" thing doesnt really translate to changing the story. Throughout the first 2 seasons, choice mattered TO ME, I knew I was saying what I wanted to say and what I felt was right. But they took it to the point where I had no choice, and I just sat there, I didnt feel involved at all.

I was also very annoyed that Clem always cries when Kenny dies. She didn't cry for Duck. She didn't cry for Omid. She didn't cry for Nick or Sarah or Luke, and I sure as hell cared way more about them than I cared about Kenny. Why did he get special treatment?
