Kenny...
I understand that Kenny is not perfect, And he can be a major asshole to both Lee and Clem, But do people forget everything he actually did that saved Lee and other group members several times?Yes, He has been selfish probably just as many times but he has never done anything to hurt the group beyond repair like Lilly (With Jane as an exception) He first of all saves Lee in the drugstore no matter WHAT you do in the episode, You can not save Duck, Tell him he fucked up with Shawn, Not give duck the energy bar, And even AGREE with Larry to throw Duck out of the store, Sure he gets mad later in episode 2, But either way he still saves you and even went out of his way to call you a "Good Friend" (At least in my game when I played my "Evil" save) Then, He gets the RV working essentially saving the group from the bandits and walkers when they attacked (Which even though I liked Ben, He caused) And then after some Kenny being an ass moments he still apologizes to Ben and even almost sacrifices himself for him/Christa (I still think he should have not appeared in season 2 to make those scenes more memorable but i'm at the same time happy as hell he did)Later, He offers Clem a place to stay, gives himself up for Clem/Sarita, Loses an EYE for Clem, helps Rebecca with the birth of AJ after just losing his girl a second time, Looks out for AJ with his life (It does get a bit...excessive...) Gets a truck started which Arvo the the two other fucks try to steal, Now I will admit, Trying to kill Jane was a stupid move, But Jane should have not been trying to start drama like a 14 year old immature girl in the first place, To prove that Kenny would kill someone if they killed a baby, Yeah, No shit, He would have done the same if he thought she killed Clem to, Then, If you let him live, He not only wants you to go to Wellington without him to be safe, He also gives you his favorite hat if you go, Brings a tear to my eye every time, Seriously though, Is he really as bad as Carver as some people say, Or as bad as Jane even in my opinion, But to put this long post to an end, Opinions are welcome and respected, So please do the same below, Because flame wars are sure to start somehow...
EDIT:Sorry if there was any confusion, but before a full on nuclear war starts, This thread was created to basically just get a feel for everyones opinion on Kenny here on the forums, NOT to change peoples perspectives on him, I was just giving points on why I think he's not as bad as everyone says, I'm sure there's a laundry list of problems a lot of people can list to, So feel free if you want, I know this topic is getting stale, But I just thought I would make it before season 3 comes and Kenny is no longer an even minor topic (Unless Telltale pulls a miracle and if Clem IS the PC they have him and Jane survive the episode...) So please, Stop acting as if mentioning Kenny summons the devil...

He says "I'm not letting someone else get eaten today, even if he is an asshole" which is basically him calling Lee an asshole (if you were disagreeing with Kenny, which for episode 1 I can understand since one of the main choices to make him dislike you is agreeing with Larry to throw Duck out which is understandable)
Not if he gave Clem the radio against her will, that's on him.
Overall I used to like Kenny, but my main problem that came with him was in episode 4 when he yells at Clem for Sarita's death when it isn't even her fault. After that I was over with Kenny, is he worse than Jane? IMO definitely not, but I don't see what makes him so great.
This has been discussed to death, I hate kenny with a passion other people love him thats fine we've all played the game we made our own judgement on it,there doesnt have to be another big kenny defence post, seriously despite the undiluted praise and kennyconfirmed threads after season 1 I just ignored it even though even back then I couldnt stand Kenny if people hate Kenny let them, if they love him let them.
Oh great... yeah Kenny. Great guy, oh wait? Please don't, it's great you love Kenny and want to defend his character but we don't need the 100th thread on him please, can you just not?
Also why make this thread? You do know it's just going to make people mad, so why do it?
there isnt anything wrong having a thread on him, its having a thread on him vs jane that starts shitstorms
The only people who hate Kenny is naive kids who are out of touch with the real world.
But having a thread about him in general with points that have been stated so many times I've lost count, also causes said storms.
I have yet to see a kenny appreciation thread that has gone to the shitter
That's a bit too far, even for you Boats.
How hard have you looked? :P
I get why people like Kenny it all depends how you play the game. By the end of episode two me and Kenny were done. When it comes to Kenny I would describe my game kind of like Two Best Friends hate Kenny videos just not that annoying.
Projection.txt
Even though their Kenny hate does get annoying, I have to admit they have some really quotable lines that are hilarious.
I was amazed I could watch it all. I will watch Gamermd83 and Yogscast Hannah and they both love Kenny to death.
I don't mean to pry, but what was exactly the big deal with Kenny yelling at Clem in EP4? I wasn't affected by it at all. Like I said before, I don't want to pry, but I just don't get it.
Well Green got a different scenario with Kenny than most people, where he killed the walker and still blames you for Sarita's death. He'll even make you look at Sarita and say "Look at her, she's dying and it's your fault!" As Sarita's coughing and suffering.
Oh, well I cut her arm off and axed her in the face. So, I guess to no surprise he was pissed. I thought he isn't as angry if you don't cut her arm off.
...and i shall now retract my statement from above, you were right bruh
But he apologized, right? Then what is the problem? Is it that big of a deal? Especially after like 8 months after the episode was released? Wow.
Basically my reaction to when he apologized VV
Alright here's what I say to him apologizing. It's exactly like he said himself when Clem apologized (even if she didn't do anything) just because he's sorry doesn't mean it's going to magically go away.
And, so what if it's been 8 months since the episode released? Was there some hidden DLC in these last 8 months that I missed where Kenny made up for all his mistakes? If not then I don't see why my opinion on him would change.
What about Saltlicks? :P
(jk, that was pretty Strange for someone to say...)
I haven't been on the forums long, But all I seem to see is people calling Kenny insane and starting threads on him vs Jane, I just wanted to give MY points on why I like him and see what others think of him, And why would this thread make people mad?Because I stated that I personally like Kenny?I even said at the end of the post that opinions are welcome, I just want to start a civil discussion on whether people love OR hate Kenny, And put an end to one sided discussions because since episode 4 most people just regard Kenny as Carver at this point, Thanks for giving your opinion on the subject anyways.
It's time for more pointless threads about how "great" of a character Kenny is and just making a passive aggressive attempt to call out all the "Kenny haters" by asking why people don't like him. Buddy, if I listed every reason why Kenny sucked like a hardcore Philippian pornstar, this post would go on for several pages.
But how's this sound. You have your opinion on him, and I'll have mine. Is that cool?
Yeah, thats pretty much all that comment deserves.
Kenny's name is basically cursed at this point
You mention it once, anywhere, and a shitstorm will erupt out of thin air
This comment is why people hate Kenny fans. You get bashed for having a different opinion that's not in favor of Kenny
I love Kenny.
He's my favorite character in the whole game.
What made me like him, is that he tried to help others when he could.
Naturally he put his family first, like any good, responsible husband and father would do.
But if a friend of his was in trouble, Kenny was there.
Kenny in my playthrough, saved Lee's life twice in the drugstore.
And I had Lee volunteer to euthanize Duck, when Kenny and Katja were debating over which one of the should do it.
And I had Lee do so, even after Katja committed suicide.
As well as take care of the boy in the attic.
Though MY Lee did not agree with everything Kenny said, when it really mattered, Lee had his back.
And at the end, when I had volunteer to look for Clementine alone, Kenny jumped at the chance to help find her, even though he didn't know of Lee's bite, as I had Lee conceal it from the others.
That shows me, that Kenny is a loyal person.
And Kenny was the one I had Lee pick, to look after Clementine.
And it was a decision I still felt to be sound in season 2.
Kenny's character has many faults, just like everyone.
But he also has good points too.
This Thread.....If I could only......
"Opinions are welcome"...Also, How is a thread with my opinion wanting to know others non one sided opinion pointless?Seriously, People now have to exclude any posts about Kenny because they are pointless, Take your own advice and you have your opinion and let me have mine, If you want to make a post about all of Kenny's faults go right ahead, I actually want different opinions, So feel free,
I love Kenny. he is far from perfect... but at the end of the world who would be? Except for Lee
Kenny is an asshole. You either love him or you hate him. All people have their own opinion about him and they will not change. These thread's are getting annoying.
Every time I see a picture of this character I want to puch him in the face. Don't know why xD.
Yeah I miss the downvote option too.
I understand it's your opinion to like Kenny. Fine, but the post I've read above has a lot of flimsy half-assed reasons as to why you like him. How can he be an asshole sometimes but then try to sway the argument back in your favor by asking "remember when Kenny saved Lee?" No. No I absolutely don't, and you know why? Because Kenny never put his old shit-covered neck out for Lee and Clementine when we needed it, but he expects us to be concerned about his dumb problems?
And the rest of the thread is you misguidedly stating false statements about all Kenny's "accomplishments." Really? Kenny saved the group by starting up the RV? You mean Lee, Lilly, and Carley blasting assholes had nothing to do with the escape? Plus, as I recall, Kenny (the big family man) was more concerned with starting up the RV and potential leaving Lilly behind than getting his wife and kid to a safe spot. He's not a good man, not even remotely.
I think we should make atleast another 100 or so more of them, because there just isnt enough !
That's a her. You might want to start running before you incur the wrath of Green.
Don't forget Doug, if he's saved he actually fixes the RV.
