Kenny was way out of line

  • Clementine lost just as much as Kenny, and at a younger age. I don't understand how losing both of her parents, most of her friends, and Lee doesn't measure up to how much Kenny's lost. And since it wasn't her fault that Sarita died, and that was the issue at hand, how is it appropriate to just randomly bring up her past mistakes? She's a child. Of course she's accidentally cause deaths, but that was before she matured. She probably blames herself enough, anyways.

  • Kenny didn't grab his gun because he wanted to beat him to death. He wanted to savor it. And because he's an idiot.

    Just because everyone stopped to calm Kenny down doesn't excuse Kenny's own idiocy and lack of sense of the moment.

    I'm not giving Kenny any special credit for wanting to get his ass kicked so he could feel like a leader.

    There's not much reason to think she'd turn that quickly if you didn't get her killed within the herd. Death seems to speed up the process more so than the fever. Unless there's some detail I'm forgetting...

    There's no predicting how long before someone turns. It could be days or minutes.

  • Well Rebecca does actually blame Kenny for Alvin's death if he gets killed in episode 2. And it's implied that Christa at least somewhat resents Clem for Omid's death. There's a lot of misdirected blame that goes around whenever someone's loved ones die.

  • Well, there was a scene in the tv show where a girl was killed and she didnt turn until the next day like ten hours later but then someone else would get bit and turn almost immediately so, you just cant be sure. But I think that Clementine was trying to givet Sarita a chance at life since getting bit is certain death. Kenny must know that so it made no sense to me him blaming her. That was my point.

  • I cant blame Clementine for that. She was eight. Kids that young just think differently. She is wiser now but I dont consider what she did getting people killed and neither did Lee.

    She was younger, more easily manipulated, and thought she might have a chance of seeing her parents again. If the same thing was happening to her now, she wouldn't fall for it.

    At least Christa, whatever she felt, never lashed out at Clem. She still took care of her and cared about her. Off topic but where is she???

    But yeah, maybe the reason it made me so angry was because I honestly felt like crying when I watched that because I felt so bad for Clem. She has been through so much and carries so much guilt already and this guy who is supposed to be her friend treats her like this? I dont know how much more she can take before she snaps herself.

  • Well we don't know whether or not she lashed out at Clem. She was a pregnant woman who just lost her spouse. Crazy shit will come out of people's mouths in that situation.

    And yes. It was brutal. But speaking of Clem's guilt, I roleplay as Clem a bit more when I play so I approached the situation as though I were actually guilty, because that's how I think Clem would actually feel in that situation. Everything Kenny says to her is something she would be saying to herself. So I actually didn't end up being angry with him, because I don't think Clem would be angry at Kenny for saying what she herself thinks is true.

    Do you recall when the bolded part happened? I'm having a hard time remembering anyone turning almost immediately from a bite without getting killed first.

    I get your point but I feel like she should've expected the chain of events that unfold. I guess that's down to different interpretations of her character this season (I play her as pragmatic but kind when she can afford to be).

  • I know right! She didn't deserve the guilt being thrown in her face. I wanted to hug her so bad after that line but Kenny walked out claiming he didn't need to hear that "sht". Again he fails to realize that he was throwing that"sht" in Clems face about a hour ago.

    KCohere posted: »

    She said that? Good for her! She's already killing herself with guilt. What right does he have to keep throwing that stuff in her face?

  • I never said "everyone should/does react in the same way." I merely stated Kenny's not the only one that's lost loved ones and none of them have taken their loss out on Clem.

  • I always don't know how to feel about kenny either im tired of his bitching or im glad that he's still with us in the group..also did anyone get to see kenny's eye? I could've sworn in the preview for amid the ruins he was going to show clementine his eye..

  • Later on he apologised. So i forgave him. And imagine yourself in that situation, if one of your family member would die because someone was trying to save them, at the first stage of grief you would blame the person who tried to save him/her as well. Was the same with Kenny. Later he said sorry, and in the state he is in right now (lost 2nd girlfriend, both lived just 3 ep's) its really fakd up.

  • If you choose to be silent the second time you you have the option to speak in the tent, he says it.

  • edited July 2014

    You implied it by making the comparison between him and the others in the first place. We've had people treat Clem like shit for far less and people found a way to get over it. A serious head trauma combined with a fresh personal loss (within little over 24hrs) is more than enough of an "excuse" for his behavior this one time, IMO. Screw blanket statements about his fandom.

  • "Well I didn't expect him to be like: "Oh its ok Clementine I forgive you for chopping off my girlfriend's hand"

    I did even worst than that. After I cut of her hand off I put an axe through her head before she had even died as a throwback to the meat locker scene when Kenny dropped the salt lick on Larry's head in front of Clem, hoping that she would get a chance to say I learnt that from you. What was it he said about him being the one to make the tough choices when he offed Larry? Now Clem is making the tough unpopular choices in season 2 and i'm loving it. The only thing is that I find it a lot easier in season 2 because I don't really have any real attachment to the characters this time around. Shooting Rebecca in the head, no problem, leaving Sarah in the mobile home.... fuck it, putting an axe through Sorita's head . I barely knew her.

  • I might be mixing the tv show up with the comics far as the bolded part because Im trying to remember who got bit, but Im sure it has happened. I guess my Clementine is more "do what needs to be done in that moment". When I played her all I was thinking of was save Sarita so Kenny getting mad (yeah, I know he's grieving and wants to strike out at someone) upset me. But if Kenny acknowledges that he was wrong for blaming her, then I guess I could get past it.

  • Not intentionally. o.O Like I said I understand WHY he reacted the way he did, but I still think Clem is owed an apology from him. To me Kenny's had enough chances. (Not helping to save Shawn after saving Duck, Killing Larry in the locker room right infront of Clementine without any warning, Endangering the group because he couldn't face the fact his son was bit, Killing Carver when he barely knew him and my Clem told him not to kill him to name just a few.) Like I said I understand his reasons, but his execution is poor.

    I'm not trying to start an argument though so we shall have to agree to disagree and this is the last I'll say about it.

    Kenny didn't grab his gun because he wanted to beat him to death. He wanted to savor it. And because he's an idiot.

    What? LOL, where did you get this assumption. If Kenny wanted to kill Ben, tell me why didn't he make an attempt on his life after the incident in Crawford? and no, him apparently "telling" Lee to drop him doesn't count as his attempt to kill him. If he wanted Ben to suffer then why was he the first to go down the alley to check if Ben was OK after he fell? and if Kenny is that much of an idiot then the group wouldn't be alive as he is the so called idiot that fixed the RV that saved everyone.

    Just because everyone stopped to calm Kenny down doesn't excuse Kenny's own idiocy and lack of sense of the moment.

    Lee, Christa, Vernon & Brie were in the room and they were happy to participate in the discussion but somehow it's "all" Kenny's fault.

    I'm not giving Kenny any special credit for wanting to get his ass kicked so he could feel like a leader.

    It seems you played a different game. So let's get this right, you think Kenny got himself beaten half to death was just so he can feel like a leader? So it had nothing to do with protecting a little girl?

  • He didn't blame her in my game. Jesus, you're all so impulsive, thinking chopping someone's arm off in the middle of a zombie herd is a good idea.

  • edited July 2014

    Kenny's later actions do not determine his prior intent. He obviously had a change of heart once he temporarily realized how much of an ass he is. After everyone had to waste time calming him down.

    I never said it's "all" Kenny's fault. I'm just saying that Kenny is an unreliable idiot with no sense of the moment, and that that was an example. If you want to absolve him by suggesting that others are partially at fault, too, that still doesn't make Kenny any less dumb.

    As for the last question, what makes them mutually exclusive? Kenny occasionally gets a spurt of nobility. Hey, good for him. He's an idiot with a death wish.

  • I can understand Kenny being upset when Clem cuts off Sarita's arm. But if Kenny says the same thing when Clem whacks the zombie, that seems a little out there. What was she supposed to do? Let the zombie munch away?

    That was a quick change of heart wasn't it? Doesn't determine his prior intent? He wanted brutally murder Ben for getting his family killed so much that he let it all go after getting out of Crawford? I don't think he saw how much of an ass he was to Ben since he still treated him like crap so clearly he's still angry with him. He had a weapon to kill Ben but doesn't use it and instead wanted to beat him to death to savor the moment? This is all assumption, Ben was even right in front of him and he still didn't do anything, he didn't even throw any punches so him wanting to beat Ben to death seems unlikely considering he never even attempted to beat him after being held back by Lee & Vernon.

    I never said it's "all" Kenny's fault. I'm just saying that Kenny is an unreliable idiot with no sense of the moment, and that that was an example. If you want to absolve him by suggesting that others are partially at fault, too, that still doesn't make Kenny any less dumb.

    But you seemed to be pinning it all on him. Not even acknowledging the others, you only seemed to be focused on Kenny.

    As for the last question, what makes them mutually exclusive? Kenny occasionally gets a spurt of nobility. Hey, good for him. He's an idiot with a death wish.

    He knew what Carver was like and I'm sure he had a feeling what Carver would do so how is he gonna be a leader if he's dead? You think he would take the blame for anybody else(other than Sarita & Clementine) just so he can be a leader? When Carver had Alvin at gunpoint, he was not hesitant to shoot at him but when he had Clementine at gun point, he surrendered. Even after they all escaped from Carver, he wanted to be left alone in the tent, yeah you can tell how much he wanted the "leadership" role that he wanted to be alone instead of being in charge and giving orders. Being a leader was the last thing on his mind when he took the blame for Clementine knowing that Carver may kill him. You seem to be throwing the word "idiot" out a lot, let me guess, you're a Lilly fan?

  • I guess telltale was lazy.

  • It's called "heat of passion." It subsides. Kenny's a guy who has no control over his emotions and is willing to allow someone to die for not having his back, and then change his mind a second later. If you doubt this, replay Season 1 and side with Lilly a few times.

    This was a discussion about Kenny. He is the one who can't control his emotions. He was the one that wasn't going to calm down and leave until everyone calmed him down. But if we want to talk about all of the stupidity of people waiting around while zombies are trying to break through a door, and the poor writing of having everyone lose sense of the moment, you're welcome to keep talking about it, but It still doesn't absolve Kenny.

    So Kenny has a preference for Clementine because he knows her. Again, good for him. No, he wouldn't take the blame for anyone else, because Clementine is the only one who wouldn't be considered a coward for not taking her own blame. Even if it was a great thing he did for Clementine, it's simply not enough. There's really just not enough that the guy can do to make up for how unstable he is.

    Lilly fan? Before she went psycho, I preferred her to Kenny. I mean, he's fine if you always agree with him. Disagree with him on anything, though, and he's happy to let you die the next second.

  • I suppose Kenny is just looking for someone to blame for his suffering perhaps subconsciously he wants to push people away so he can be alone with his misery? I don't know. I feel like in that scenario Kenny blames Clementine for not being quicker or something, I don't know. The plan went to hell.

  • He has anger-issues. But seriously, even Sarita was shocked !
