I Don't Like Christa
I know a lot of people love her to bits, and a lot of people (including me) fucking hate her. I hate her for a couple of reasons.
- Because she was mean to Lee when we first found her, fair enough she was nice to Clementine throughout the season but she was a dick to Lee and when we went into the train cabin thingy that was down the tracks just after we found them she came in all staunch being like "meh meh meh I hope you know what you're doing meh meh". I get it she wanted to look out for Clementine and I appreciate that I really do, but every time she talked to me I just got so angry i don't know what it was.
- She practically says, "too bad we're taking Clementine after your dead haha shame cunt" when they're about to cross the sign just before Lees badass bit by The Marsh House.. My Lee specifically said "Find them someone that's capable" and Omid says "we're capable" after that Lee can say "did you hear me?" and fucking CHRISTA says something along the lines of "You don't have much choice now" or something like that which made me mad as fuck
What really made me dislike the start of Season 2 was that no matter what we said in the previous season Clem ends up with Christa and Omid. The usual happens, Omid dies and then Christa blames Clementine for his death which made me really made as well. Yes Omid said "make sure to keep track of your things" and Clem left her gun on the sink and then conveniently a bad person walks in and starts interrogating Clementine then Ommid comes to try and save the day and dies from an 'accidental shot' then the 16 month time skip (which I really disliked as well) happens and then Christa is still fucking mad at you. I love it when you can say "I miss Omid" it's so fucking funny seeing Christas face and her being extremely mad at Clem, fuck you bitch.
In the end I had no problem not distracting the bandits and letting the fate happen to Christa like that, I appreciate that she did look out for Clem and looked after her for that 23-24 month time gap and I praise her for that, but other than her looking out for Clem, fuck her.

Aw. Eh, we can't like every character.
That is true, I disliked quite a lot of people in season 2 and in season 1 actually...
Yeah... Have a nice day
ye, lol, youre like, idk your so civil and i like it haha
I understand Christa's point. She lost her boyfriend and her baby. The only thing I didn't like is that Christa acts like it was everything Clementine's fault. How did that girl enter the bathroom if Omid was outside waiting for them?
So her taking care of Clem for almost two years when she didn't have to is not enough to get passed the few moments when she wasn't that nice?
Ít´s all a matter of opinion, nobody has to like every character. She´s one of my favourites, though! I really appreciate that she took care of Clementine.
She took care of Clem for about 20-25 months, even after the death of Omid (Clem fault by the way) and a child, she took care of her, as it can be to hate? Damn
My point exactly. 100% agree.
You basically justified the counter argument in that
How the heck does she say anything like "haha shame cunt", and everything else is if you basically say hey find some random people to look after her not you, which doesnt make all that much sense to me. Also what is she meant to say okay we will just ditch clementine after your gone, to be honest neither her or omid had any obligation to help lee at all they could have just bailed the moment they knew he was bit.
Shes distent for sure (which honestly in your game I cant blame her for being), she has a legitimate reason to blame clem for what happened but honestly she doesnt as she keeps her around looks after her, Honestly if you bring omid up I'd be surprised if she didnt get pissed off.
Also what would you rather clem was alone and ended up being killed because lets face it thats what will happen if clem is by herself.
I guess everyone has their own views on characters and are entitled to their own opinions. I personally liked Christa, in season 1 I wasn't too bothered about her although I was glad she seemed to care for Clementine a lot and that she was very level headed. Then in season 2 I appreciated her since she did look after Clementine even though she lost both her baby and her boyfriend. She could have abandoned her and left her to fend for herself after what happened but she didn't, she stayed with Clementine and taught her new skills. Sure she wasn't in the best of moods but can you blame her after loosing her baby and Omid?
I first disliked Christa too because of how rude and suspicious she was towards Lee. But I realized later it was because of her pregnancy and hormones like with Rebecca in Season 2. Christa is a good person deep down who cares about protecting others. And if you're nice to her as Lee, she will be more friendly. There wasn't really anyone else more suitable to take care of Clem than Christa and Omid.
I don't really agree with what you're saying, but I don't feel that strong about Christa either way.
Eh, everyone has different opinions, I mean Arvo's one of my favorite characters and I'm sure I'd see a lot of resistance to that idea.
Neither do I, I hadn't liked her since "Long Road Ahead." If she never returns I personally wouldn't care, but everyone has their opinions.
I don't understand how anyone can like or dislike Arvo. He had barely 30 minutes of screen time in the whole series and he mostly just swore in Russian and screamed.
I found her irritating at times, but I wouldn't say I dislike her.
What do you mean?
That's pretty much more of a character than anybody else in S2, so I can see how he's likeable.
I find it a little depressing that Christa's dedication to care for Clementine for a good two years, with the majority of it on her own and without her child, when she could have easily done the pragmatic thing and abandon her...and she barely gets any recognition for her efforts.
And then she gets written out of the story, never to be heard of again. Telltale doesn't seem to want anything to do with her regardless of what she could bring to the story.
Such wasted potential.
Swearing... in Russian
Yeah, but I've looked at the translations and he didn't swear too much in Russian, maybe once or twice but I don't remember any specific examples.
Really bothers me that all that build up to Christa being a surrogate mother to Clementine, the same way Lee was a surrogate father, ended up not really going anywhere interesting, I honestly have no idea what the S2 writers were thinking, other than the fact they were probably bigger Kenny fans than Christa fans.
Edit: OMG, THIS WASNT TO YOU I AM SO SORRY
Look I get that, and I knew that someone would bring this comeback sort of thing back up in the comments..
I said in the post "I appreciate that she did look out for Clem and looked after her for that 23-24 month time gap and I praise her for that." Basically meaning, I am discarding this as a 'favor' so to say because she implied to look after Clementine after Lee didn't even want her to, she could have left her at any time and I'm semi glad that she didn't because I don't know how Clem would have survived.. I'm pretty sure I stated in there that I really do appreciate what Christa did for Clementine but I hated her as Lee not Clementine, yes I didn't distract the scavengers and maybe got Christa killed but hey, that's how I wanted my Clem to be.. I am truly sorry if I did offend you in any way shape or form, I really am but this is just my opinion on why I don't like Christa as Lee not Clem.
I didn't really care for Christa and it kinda always bothered me that she blamed Clementine for Omid's death-she may have never said that, but you could sense it the minute she walks in the restroom to find him dead because the girl had used Clem's gun...but really Christa should've been mad at herself for trying to get her f*ck on and having Clem go alone in the first place. But, Christa doesn't get her due respect in raising Clementine. C teaches Clem how to suture herself and took care of her way longer than Lee ever did. Christa would've had a bigger impact on who Clem becomes more than anyone-she was the only woman that had contact with for 2 yrs. There should've been more reference to Christa from Clem in season 2.
That's the thing about stories though, sometimes paths that are built end up breaking, in this case we think Christa is going to help Clementine survive but she ends up meeting an unknown fate in order for Clementine to realize that she can take care of herself and others(most of the time).
Lol, you didn't offend me. I Just thought it was kind of harsh that a few little things she did, and not everyone is nice all the time especially given the fearful situation and pressure they're under, would take precedence over the good things she's done. I was annoyed with Christa at times but she and Omid stepped up when they didn't have to. For me, I could look past their annoyances, although I liked Omid and he didn't annoy me that much, because they were there for my Lee and Clem.
I pitied him more than liked him.
Well, to be honest, if you are going to build up something to have a meaningful resolution, then you better fulfill your promise, otherwise it ends up being a wasted opportunity for good character development.
I loved Omid and thought he was the best/funniest character in season 1 (Mike delivering the best lines in season 2 of course) Peronsally I just wanted him and Kenny to come to Vernons base in episode 4 just after Lee was bitten because Christas presence just anooys me, I don't know what it is and don't you dare pull the race card and say "oh well, it's because she's black bleh bleh" So was Lee and I love him, Clem is part African-American aswell and I adore her, I also liked Mike and he was urban. I'm not firing shots at you or anything, but I liked Omid and I just didn't like Christa at all.. Really.. yeah.
Have a good one
I hate Christa too, but Omid was not so bad. At the start of season 2, I was pissed off to see Clem with them...
I thought Christa was decent, never really had a massive attachment to her, the way when Omid dies she looks at the gun and then Clem that gives away that at the back of her head she secretly blames clem, also i stopped thinking she even existed when Kenny showed up.
i have a slight dislike for her, do i hate her as much as Flog Hates Kenny, no....
I don't know why you think I'd pull the race card.
No, i wasn't meaning you at all but there will be atleast some kid/troll in here that would say that, that wasn't directed at you at all, sorry if you thought it was.
This fuckin ranga needs to grow some balls, Christa was the best character in the games!
And Clem is just a whiny bitch
-iiJeriichoii
Omid was in the other bathroom with Christa. Christa probably taught Clem never to leave her weapon out of reach - something which would have prevented Omid's death.
I knew something bad was going to happen when the game wouldn't let me pick up the gun before retrieving the water bottle.
She was distrustful of Lee and the group with good reason. She had a baby to bring into the world and it was the ZA.
She and Omid found Clem alone. What were they suppose to do, just leave her? And I think it would be going out of their way to find a perfect family that's "capable" and they're more set on surviving
