Can Somebody Please Explain to Me...
Sorry, I really don't like Making these kinds of Threads. But I have a serious Question. Why did everyone Like Luke so much? He was incredibly Flawed, his Character was unrealistic, badly thought out, and Just plain stupid. And I'm not attacking anyone who Loves Luke. If you love him, Good for you, I'm really okay with that. But I don't understand.
In Episode 5, at One point, Luke says, "We can't just sit here and let this guy take Hot shots at us!" Now, I want to know, Why can't they? Kenny is safe, Arvo is in the Line of fire, Clem, Luke, and AJ are all safe and Behind cover, Jane hasn't arrived yet, Bonnie and Mike are... fucking, Somewhere. If they let them Shoot until They ran out of Ammo, it's less stress in the Long run. Buricko was already Dead, and There was one guy. So why the hell did Luke say that? If he wasn't so stupid, He wouldn't have ran out, Gotten shot, and then Died at the lake later on. So... what?
Also, In Episode 4, Jane offers him... Some favors... And While he should be on Watch, He accepts the offer, and is the Primary reason Sarah died. And yeah, You could argue that It was Jane's fault for offering, but what If I walked up to you and said, "Would you like to Smoke this Illegal drug?", If you said yes, that's on you. Luke said yes, It's on him. It's the exact same thing. If Luke kept watch, they would Have made it away from the walkers on time, They could have gotten shelter, Sarah might not have died, and Rebecca MAYBE would have had a Chance. And this is not Me being a Jane lover (Even though I am an active Jane lover), This is me stating the fact that Luke accepted the offer. And It was simply not Jane's fault at that point.
On my Final point, Luke had gotten no character development Since Episode 1. He has been the same thing, A hotheaded, Pretty, Redneck boy, who is smart, But makes dumb choices. Sarah had more development than him! (Or maybe that's just me over praising Sarah.) But come on, I would just like to know why People like Luke so much is all.

As I said: he is hawt.
I said this in another thread and I will say it again. Luke was a good character from episode 1-2 Im sure you could agree with me. Alot of people liked his character because he was willing to look after Clem. His character really changed though from episode 1 to episode 4. I didn't like this change and it didn't make any sense for his character. It would make a great character idea but for Luke it didn't make any sense for his character to change like that. But when you wonder why do people like Luke? You won't ever know, because each person plays the game differently than someone else. See for me I always had the question, "Why does everyone hate kenny?" Or "Why do so many people like Jane" But I then realized that everyone plays the game differently. Some people like certain characters based on how they played. I like TellTale because things like this happen. You may like 1 character but completely hate another. while somebody else may love the character you hate. I don't like Luke but I understand why others do, they played the game differently than I did.
Luke = Hawt babe
gotta love them forklift nips ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
idk, never really cared about him much.
Yup.
And I suppose your right on a lot of other things. But still, I don't see why.
I asked for an explaination, and you give me Luke nips. 10/10
I liked luke...
Luke felt kind of inconsistent. He spots the dog bite, thinking it's a walker bite, and practically throws Clem to the ground. I don't blame him for being cautious, but come on, he threw her to the ground. Lol He's not sure if he wants to bring Clem back to the group, then back at the cabin, he's on her side. At Howes, he wants to get everyone out, then he doesn't want to get everyone out (right away), but then he plays devil's advocate and says if they're leaving, let's leave Kenny behind, because of his condition. At that point, my reaction was like this: "...O...kay...? What exactly do YOU wanna do?" Nothing against him. I saw him as an alright character, just a bit inconsistent.
I liked him. I just did.
From what a lot of the "I LOVE LUKE THREADS" say, most like him because he's "bae" (attractive).
He was a good egg. When first meeting him, I didn't trust(didn't trust anyone after what happened to Christa) or like(he dropped Clem like a bitch) him. After he said that the group would have to deal with Clem joining them, I gave him a second chance. And since then, he hasn't disapointed. He was the only one I could put my faith in, during E5. He was a little inconsistent, but people aren't perfect. And he did make some good points, in those situations. E.g: Not breaking out of Howe's right away. Kenny was unconscious, Sarita was freaking out, and he was beat up pretty bad. Also, if we had stayed at Howe's, we could've, came up with a better plan, recuperate, and Rebecca could've had AJ, and got the medical treatment she needed. I didn't agree with him at the time, nor do I now, but he had a point.
I'm not gonna say he's the best character ever, but I will say that he was the best friend Clem could have, after all the shit she went through, excluding Lee of course. Which makes his death the worst(imo) of S2. Worst, like Lee's death, not like Nick's.
I agreed with Luke on pretty much everything. So that's why I like him.
Also bae.
Luke was an ok guy, just incredibly flaky. I didn't feel strongly about him either way.
That's a really good question honestly. =p
I guess he was just a nice guy overall. Most other likable characters ended up doing at least one terrible thing by the end of the series, (Mike, Bonnie, Kenny, and Jane come to mind), while Luke kind of died with a clean record, if you catch my drift...
Even though he screwed up all those times, i thought those flaws made him more interesting, instead of making me dislike him.
I liked Luke, but not in a gasping fangirlish way. I enjoyed his character and felt sad when he died, but i did not feel any special kind of conection to him.
His initial charm was that he was a regular dude, one of those kinds of people all of us have gone to school with so he is easy to get to know, or assume that you know.
Later on he shows faults which makes him more beleivable. People can understand the primal urge of sexual tension with him and Jane, even if it was dumb to leave your post to shag for 10 minutes.
Personally not a fan of Luke to whiny and always put clem in danger while also making her do stuff Lee would never make her do
I always found I disagreed with most things he said but I can understand why he in s2 as a marketing tool a pretty face for fangirls I guess
He died in such a cheesy way I have no reaction at all to his death but confusion
I AM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW... XD
Luke is not part of this system.
I'm very disappointed they did that.
I don't see much in the way of inconsistency in this case. He wasn't so gung-ho about leaving right away after they got caught because... well, they got caught. The plan fell through completely and Kenny almost got beaten to death. Then he plays devil's advocate because everyone else is rushing to get out even though they literally just saw what happens when you screw up.
If anything, I thought the rest of the group were being morons when they got on his case. First they get upset that he's advising waiting, especially in the face of a group member who as far as they knew was in a coma, then they get upset when he says if they must leave right now like they all want, they're going to have to leave Kenny behind since carrying him through a herd and across the land in the event he doesn't wake up is a really stupid idea. Luke was the only one being rational, and I don't even like Luke.
Only thing I thought was inconsistent in episode 3 was Luke calling out Clementine being the group's big plan, even though he was talking up her importance, telling her to keep an eye on Nick, and having her do dangerous stuff just one episode prior.
The best thing about that gif is the watermark at the bottom.
is that a joke
The way I saw that scene was Luke didn't want to leave anyone behind which is why he was so insistent on waiting, he was being realistic he didn't see them leaving with the shape Kenny was in.
I dont know, I personally didnt love him, I didnt hate him either though. I think one of the main reasons players were drawn to him, is simply because he was nice to you, and soon drew to trust you, in a game world where no one trusts anyone.
It's mostly girls saying how hot he is which is fucking stupid. His a weak minded guy who is more concerned about himself than the group. I'm not sure why girls would find him hot when his pretty useless. Maybe they think he can be whipped and do everything for them. Notice how none think the strong characters are hot? Even arvo gears sympathy, another weak male and he shot the most popular character and the player character clementine .
Not every character needs to be a dark, complex figure with a mysterious past and intricate character development.
He was just a genuine cool guy who had good intentions for his friends. He had a good friendship with Clem, like a sibling bond, and I agreed with his decisions throughout Season Two
That's pretty much all to it.
I think women are attracted to men like him, because they aren't threatening. Who would be intimidated by luke?
Women like men they can control, the "bad boys" is a fantasy that excites them and fun, and they want to change that guy to something they like. They go for guys Luke because he has that soft sympathy style. Real women would want men like Lee who are strong and independent and have a sense of humor. I actually think if Lee was only a supporting character Instead of playable, he'd be less popular.
None, Luke yelled at Kenny at the top of his lungs in Episode 4 and I just laughed. I blame the thing with him and Jane, too hilarious XD
He was kind hearted. That's all it took for me.
Team Luke FTW!
I have to agree with you, Luke was pretty useless but people think he's hot. Even though Jane's hotter
Luke isn't weak and he cared about the group so I don't know how you got that idea. And your opinion on what women find attractive is simply not true.
Jane certainly is an attractive woman
Yeah but most people can't forgive her flaws even though Luke had them too.
Luke is not strong as lee or Kenny. His young and untrustworthy. There's been multiple times he hasn't cared for the group but wanting to have sex over guarding he perimeter for a PREGNANT woman who is about to have a baby is pretty selfish. Then do explain to me what women find attractive. Why do you think all those women go see that magic mike movies? A lot are women with husbands. Boyfriends FYI.
I'm not an expert on women and neither are you, you talk as if women only go for men they can control. Luke isn't as strong as Lee or Kenny at least not physically this is true and Luke made a mistake in having sex with Jane he has admitted this, he had a moment of weakness (can't really blame him for it) but he still cares deeply about the group almost every decision he makes is out of concern for the group.
Example: In EP4 he wanted to wait a few weeks before going further out of concern for Rebecca it would've been smarter to move as soon as possible but his concern for Rebecca clouded his judgement.
Women aren't going to want to be with a guy who doesn't play by their rules. Why do you think you see a lot of women with old guys? Or guys who look way out of their leagues? Because they give them what they want. Women love attention and if they get with a guy who is whipped, they will get what they want. Guys who care for themselves and don't bow down aren't attractive to them long term, only s fantasy because they guys they go for are boring. Luke had one simple job. To keep an eye out. He knew that Rebecca was about to have her son. His ignorance also caused Kenny and mike to fight hand to hand with the walkers which could've resulted in the deaths of the two strongest characters physically. If he wanted to have sex with Jane so much, he could've done it after they secured everything. Rebecca was very ill after the pregnancy, both options wouldn't of been any good, so it's hard to blame anyone, like I said if he watched the perimeter things would've went more easier for the baby and the group.
