I...didn´t actually want anyone to replace Bonnie.
Why should Bonnie be replaced she has a real good arc this season?
Also none of the others would have worked the same way anyway, and on top of that all the others were determinant
You're right. Bonnie is irreplaceable. Her character was design especially for her.
Back in 400 days, you can see that Bonnie is a liar and deceiver, the choice WAS DID YOU LIE OR TOLD THE TRUTH, that kinda is a big deal.
Heck, just like her debut in season 2 , she deceived Clem and used Walter kindness for her own benefits, which make her a devious person, but ultimately, she felt remorse and tries to find redemption, just like in her story in 400 days.
Russel
Vince is a bit of a douchebag I want Eddie.
This, exactly. I thought she was perfect for the role she took.
Exactly!!mate.
mother of gifs.
Shel. She's smart, makes the most important decisions, and does what's best for another person.
Vince may seem like the leader-type, but really we don't know what he's become. I personally think he's just portrayed to be the leader, but he really shouldn't.
Wyatt/Eddie, yeah no. They're support.
Bonnie. Best supporting character, but that's just it.
Russell. Same. He most likely would've done better than Bonnie. He wouldn't betray for his morality. He has a strong morale to be good.
Shel just seems to interesting and leader-type for me. She really should've had a better role in Season 2. She could've been a bastard guard for Carver, but I think she saw through him and preferred just to be a resident.
"Liar"? I dunno, I thought Bonnie in 400 Days was an unlucky woman who was taken advantage of by a hypocritical man and defended herself against his murderous wife. It amazes me how many people put all the blame on Bonnie when it's Leland's fault for getting too friendly with the woman under his care.
What about Shel and Becca, i think Becca would of been a interesting character to add to the group for Sarah's Character Development.
I wish Becca had played a role in Season 2 as a foil to Sarah. Clementine could choose either to be 'edgy' or 'innocent'.
A second Kenny.
I agree about Leland being too friendly. But think about it, the choice for Bonnie was did you lie or told the truth. I think Nick Breckon has special plan for Bonnie in episode 3, which he did them in episode 5.
Maybe it's coincidental that Bonnie has determinedly a history of lying and regretting so much.
Do you mean Duck?
Perhaps he'd always intended for Bonnie to be a deceptive person. However, the writers for Episode 3 and 4 interpreted Bonnie to be a caring and naive woman who genuinely cared about Clementine. The fact that she turns her back on Clementine in Episode 5 is at odds with how she was portrayed in previous episodes, but then again that may have been due to Nick not writing those episodes.
I still feel bad for her in 400 Days and hate how everyone calls her a 'junkie' when Dee was probably the least likable character in Bonnie's episode. She stole from Roman's group, took advantage of the chaos to try and murder a woman who her husband was getting too fond of, and then tries to guilt-trip you for getting herself killed.
Only if he has a mustache.
ugh Dee.The worst.
the best scenario in Bonnie's story.
You could pretty much blame her for starting Roman's transformation into a mini-dictator.
Speaking of Roman, I found it funny that he was one of the few 400 Days NPCs to make it into Season 2. Even as a corpse. Maybe it was to make Carver seem more dangerous? "Remember that guy who was turning into an authoritarian asshole? Well, he became a bandit and got killed by our new villain!"
And proceed to pinky swear a bridge between them.
Seriously though, I liked the idea of them interacting as three diverse outcomes of how a child can develop in a situation like this, with Clem as a sort of middle-ground.
On that account blame Nate for killing the two couple, which made Roman take over the place and turn into a shitty mini dictator.
Roman has the best cameo I guess, the only good one TBH.
I blame Dee because it was her robbery that first made Roman's group paranoid. Nate murdering two old people is bad, but on the other hand Roman had nothing to do with it.
I kinda wish that the sub-plots from 400 Days were still carried over. Roman was meant to be looking for Shel & Becca after they abandoned him. Everyone's still talking about Nate and Eddie, though I think it's likely that Wyatt just never saw Nate kill his friend.
Maybe in Season 3.
I wasn't against Bonnie playing a larger role, I was disappointed that the rest of the 400 Days crew didn't come along for the ride.
But if I had to choose one story to expand on I probably would have gone with Shel and Becca's.
Maybe in season 3, don't lose hope.
The difference is that Clementine is genuinely tough, while Becca is a scared little girl trying to front as a tough bitch and Sarah was overly suppressed.
No one. I liked Bonnie and she was my favourite character from 400 days (aside from Eddie)
No Becca = no vote ;3
And I think that's an interesting concept to explore. Becca's not a hardcore survivalist, she's just another kid who believes she has to grow into a pragmatic role, while Sarah isn't forced to abandon her childhood until she's separated from her father.
In a group with Clem it'd be a chance to watch the three of them develop in one direction or the other, or possibly see them balance each other out in the end.
Where's the "Bonnie" option?
Stupid rigged poll! kicks table
That's assuming Season 2 was actually interested in exploring a little girl's story rather than about her dealing with broken adults.
Wistful sigh
We could have had both my friend. We could have had both...
Death should replace her. Dumb hillbilly bitch.
Shel or/and Becca.
No need to put hillbilly's down.
You know, I think if Shel and Becca were with them, then Shel would also be the one to have some experience with babies, which would leave her to help Rebecca give birth to AJ with Kenny. Vince might have some experience too, I believe, since he had a younger brother. I don't think Russell and Wyatt would have a clue since neither one ever mentioned having any younger siblings. (That I'm aware of).
Wyatt, because he could pull some weed out of his ass and get Kenny to chill the fuck out.
I have a younger sibling and I wouldn't know shit about helping with a pregnancy. It wasn't a lack of experience with babies that was their problem, it was not knowing how best to handle the act of giving birth itself. Unless Shel or Vince were present in the operating room when their parents gave birth to their siblings, they probably wouldn't be any help either. And it was already a pretty big stretch for Kenny to have this all-important knowledge, anyway. Well, maybe not the knowledge itself, but how everyone in the group just automatically jumped onto the "Kenny had a son, he must know all about giving birth!" train.
But I bet that's exactly what Amid the Ruins' writers were thinking when they wrote that plot point.
"Well, Kenny had a young son, so he must know all about babies!"
"But... what about Clementine and Christa?"
"What about Clementine and Christa?"
"...Good point."
