What if... (How Kenny Survived)
Whether we left Kenny with Ben and the walkers, or he was trapped by the walkers when going for the walkie-talkie...
What if this is where Michonne comes in?
Just like how she saved Andrea in the show, she comes to Kennys rescue and gets to slicing some walkers. It wouldn't be uncharactiersitc of her to save someone at her expense, and it would be the most dramatic and favored (idk about logicial) explanation of not only Kenny surviving, but of Kenny getting out of Savannah and anywhere near Parkers Run. And it would be an awesome way to tie Michonne in.
Any thoughts? And believe me, I know that Im reaching.

I think it would be pretty ridiculous.
I wish people would leave Kenny's survival alone and move on.
Isn't ep 5 set barely a couple months into the apocalypse? Michonne doesn't leave in the comics until over a year after the apocalypse starts. She also leaves Washington D.C., not Georgia. I see no reason for her to go down to Savannah.
I don't think that is very possible considering that Kenny said HE got lucky, he didn't say anybody helped him, but that's a pretty cool idea
Yeah I agree it is completely unlikely. Im just tryna figure out a way to tie Michonne into this whole story.
If you guys got any ideas how Michonne can tie in with the rest of the group, Id love to hear them, cause im dumbfounded at this point
Im a writer, I dont like thinking that "Oh I just got lucky" suffices as an explanation.
I thought it was over a year, it was like 3 months at the Motor Inn. Didn't Clem get a year older...
I just think itd be a realistic way for Kenny to actually get lucky. And its in michonnes character to save the day. And you tellin me Kenny just ended up in the same state as Clem and knew about Wellington after all this time?
More ridiculous then Kenny surviving 10+ walkers with no ammo? And randomly ending up in Virginia?
Theres some loose ends telltale has to tie up, and this would be a way.
Nah, I don't think so. This would arise two questions:
Why didn't he tell that it was her and not his luck?
How did he get separated and ended with Sarita instead?

Well, I'm pretty sure ep 1 is extremely early in the apocalypse, ep 2 is 2-3 months in due to the timeskip, and eps 3-5 all take place in a matter of days. Since I doubt Lee was unconscious for more than a day or so, episode 5 is only a couple months in. Clem's birthday was just before the stuff with the Stranger, but we never saw her birthday before then.
Yeah, I just don't see Michonne tying into the game series at all
Telltale wanted to do some comic-related stuff, Kirkman/Skybound gave them the OK, and they did it. I don't think their intentions are to tie it together, they just want to... tell a tale (hahah oh man someone just kill me)
I think Michonne is around where she didn't appear in comics for a while, meaning we are 2 years ahead of the game.
Well the first question is easy to answer.. He wanted to take the credit lol. Plus shes not Lee, she barely knows what happened to him, so he can lie.
The second one, that's also a question that telltale should answer.
There could've been a dozen ways he could've survived since you didn't see him die, he could've jumped through a window, found access to the sewer, in the end who cares? It's done it happened years ago time to move on.
Hmm. Good point
I think instead of trying to explain away the Lucky, they should just keep the mystery.
True, that is true.
Hmm, I know what you mean actually. Telltale has a way of doin that with ppl.
Yeah and she's gone for a couple months on sea or wherever she goes
Alright, now I need help cause I wanna close this discussion... Anyone?
Very plausible but how come michonne isn't with him then and why didn't he mention her? Plus I think its better thinking that Kenny turned into Ezio from assassins creed and scaled the building beside him...ofc.
Lmao that would be crazy!
Well who says Michonne left him? She was gone for months, she coulda brought him on the boat with her, and they find out about wellington somewhere along the line and he decides to leave her when he, idk, emotionally rants on about Clem and Duck and, well Kenny stuff. (Hopefully they fight)
But now that I think about it, who's to say Molly didn't come to the rescue?
She could have but as I remember she wasn't too fond of Kenny.
And I feel like michonne would have killed him when he started being..Kenny.
pretty sure Kenny would have mentioned a samurai saved his ass, rather than he got real lucky.
Let me ask you, what difference does it honestly make?
It's just a videogame.
I have to admit that sometimes I am amazed by how much time and energy people in general spend on videogames.
Imagine for a second if videogames didn't exist, how much more time people would have?
There are so many things that are worth doing.
So many good things, that can lead to some great memories, which at the end of the day are all anyone is going to have.
I honestly wish more people would take the time to go out and explore life, meet new people, make new friendships, and experience new things.
It's those things, the good times with others, those are the things that are worth treasuring.
Videogames might be fun for now, but they are not, they cannot, they will not give a person memories they can treasure for the rest of their life.
In other words, and this goes for everyone who reads this, please be careful that videogames don't essentially steal your life.
That would be most unfortunate, for you, and for me as well.
To each his own, I reckon. Videogames can create memories worth treasuring. Whether it's knowing you've made a game that people love, or just playing with friends, video games can do a lot of good. This is sadly overlooked by the mainstream media. Can people become obsessed with it to the point that it takes them over? Yes, but there are plenty of other things that can do that. I believe that it's up to each individual to decide what's worth doing. If it's their own happiness that can be affected and nothing else, then what's wrong with letting them do whatever they want?
In Episode 5 we're officially 4 months in, Ep2 is three months later (the game tells you that), Ep 3 takes place several weeks after Ep 2 (Kenny mentions that) and Ep 4 several days after Ep 3 (Christa mentions that in Ep 5) so that's four months, day more day less.
Sarita says that she found him holed up in a restaurant, it was a random encounter like many others.
I think the most people here don´t just like the game, they are interested in the setting, the stories wich are telled about it by different medias, and some are creating own stories, or think about different points - Kenny/Lee, you may mean it good, but I think the truely dependend players don´t spend much time to write and discuss.
When a games emotions/story lead people to other contents of an universe and make them create something by their own it isn´t a waste of time, I think.
Videogames aren´t essential for life - but all we do in free time except working and maybe connecting with other people isn´t it - and you can have both.
I don't think so, the timeframe is way off.
In the alley, Kenny probably survived by going through a window or finding a sewer entrance. If not, it's not impossible for a human being to fight off these amounts of walkers, just look at Tyreese (that also eliminates the 'not enough space' argument, Tyreese didn't have more space in the gym). You have to consider that walkers are dumb as hell, push some of them and many more will trip over by the impact of the first ones. There are so many possibilities for him to survive that people just seem to ignore.
In the warehouse, he could have found a door to a fire escape or another one of the 'bridges'. The same 'walker bowling' argument from the alley is of course valid here.
All in all, Michonne just doesn't fit in this timeframe at all, the game still follows the comic canon. While it isn't impossible (because she isn't with Rick's group yet), it seems highly unlikely that she'd just abandon Kenny after that and move on. So imo Kenny had many possibilities to get out by himself, and he made use of one or several of them.
Besides, the Michonne series follows events that take place way later. It's about 100 days in when Kenny 'dies', and the Michonne series will take place more than two and a half years in.
Yeah at this point it's too late for it to just be a game. If we all are on a forum discussing the game, it's more than just a game
Well, I'm a writer, so analyzing a story, whether it is a video game or a novel, is somethin that benefits my future.
Why did you join this forum if not to discuss Telltale's games?
I wish that Telltale's forums weren't so archaic that I can't go look at your first post, but I'm guessing it was in a Walking Dead discussion. You took the time to find this website, register, and your username is even a reference to the Walking Dead. Now you're slagging people for talking about video games, and wondering if it would be better if video games didn't exist. I don't get it.
Edit: I just went through your profile and you posted Walking Dead fanfiction earlier this month exploring what would happen if Lee hadn't died. Yet you're now questioning other people for doing something similar that takes even less time. Now I'm even more confused. Did you have some sort of revelation in the past few weeks?
Perhaps I've not expressed my message clearly enough.
My point is, is that there is more to life than videogames.
That's all!
I'm NOT saying it's wrong to discuss videogames, write fan-fictions, etc.
But I'm just merely wanted to encourage everyone on here to explore life.
To take advantage of all the opportunities that life has to offer.
That is true... But here we are. Discussing a virtual reality on an Internet discussion site.
So that sentiment is irrelevant
Well, then it's completely off-topic. I haven't seen anyone in this discussion excessively obsessing over video games, so I figured you were attacking the practice of discussing video games at all. If you're not specifically targeting people in this discussion, maybe you should start a discussion about it?
