If clem in season 3, any idea how this would work out?
Everyone who knows about the different endings knows that it'd be hard ( very hard) for the writers, to have clem as the playable character. because of the many ending locations.:
Would they make all new envoirements for people who have other endings? would they make a huge writing because of all the characters that are in the different places?
It'd be awesome. but i don't think so.
can clementines story be conitued? i think yes... but i think not as the playable character. but i hope she'll be...

I actually think everyone is taking these endings with too much thought of finality. I think each one simply represents where your Clem is in terms of character versus actually being where she would be for season 3.
Clem alone obviously leaves any opening possible.
Clem and Jane only were going to stay for "awhile" back at Carver's compound. Could easily pick up after they've left. To me that location was simply a way to give you the choice of how your Clem would react to more people in need. No reason to still be there at the start of season 3.
Then you have Kenny leaving you at Wellington and you leaving with Kenny.
No one these are permanent situations. I fully expect Telltale to bring Clem back and start somewhere in the future. How easy would it be to see an opening scene (ala the bathroom at the beginning of episode 1 of season 2) showing any of the endings turning bad? Kenny/Jane is disposed of fairly quickly and then we're set in the new situation with Clem and probably a little older baby.
Really you'd only need three different openings.
All ultimately leading to the same situation for the start of the season. Really isn't that hard. One thing I would look for is Clem to end up at Wellington regardless of any ending. Either making it there on here own, being there because of that particular ending or things going bad with Jane/Kenny and that being the place Clem has to go to after either Jane/Kenny dies.
I Second That.
Probably right. Clem on her own will probably find her way there. Clem with Kenny will go back after the couple of months and go in, Kenny will have probably died. Clem with Jane, the family will have been bad news regardless if you let them in they end up killing Jane, and you end up in Wellington.
The next game will probably start with some cut scenes that show you what happened based on your decision. You end up in Wellington, but just like Crawford shit hits the fan and you are back on the run again.
I personally hope this story is wrapped until season 4. I hope season 3 is someone different, and season 4 Clementine is like 16 - 18, and the stories will tie in together.
I think the very first episode will be different depending on what your ending was, then the rest of the episodes will be same for everyone. That being said, either Kenny or Jane will be dying in s3e1 most likely.
Where I think this ultimately goes is Clem turning into Lee either with Alvin Jr or some other character. Telltale has something really special with a chance to take a character from childhood to adulthood over several years. That's why they had the stuff in there about Jane and Luke having sex and Clem knowing what it was. Think how cool it would be to have Clem with some romance next season. She's getting to that age that she'd be thinking about boys. There's no way you have another main character in the next season with the chance to grow Clementine in a way that no other video game character ever has come close to.
I don't know how they're going to do it but I sure hope they do. I love Clem so much and I can't just let her go after everything. She is the reason I care so much.
I really don't want Jane to die... that's the issue.
Thing is though, I don't think telltale would overtake the comic, time wise. And they're only two years ahead of the game atm, so Clem'd be 13 at the most. Unless the comic skips forward further before season 4.
Same. So much same.
I think it is entirely possible to do a season 3 with Clem as the protagonist and have the first episode be different depending on the ending of season 2. It would certainly take a bit more work from Telltale, but it should be doable I think. I agree that it is probably likely that episodes 2, 3, 4 and 5 would be at least largely the same for everyone, but who knows?
I think it would work with an opening and ending where season 2 ends for you.
If you ended with Jane you are with her.
If you ended with Kenny you are somewhere close to Wellington.
If you were alone or ended in Wellington you could be there anyway, perhaps.
There has been a time skip and Clementine is fairly settled with her situation. She ain't really happy as such, but she's alive and in a stable-ish situation.
During the beginning you meet survivors who has met Christa, Molly, Lily or anyone Clementine would recognize holed up on their own. Clementine sets out to find her missing friend and in the end of the season you return with this person (or they die) / lots of exciting stuff happens in between.
No annulling player choices and not a whole mess to keep in mind for the main part of the season.
Would it really matter? Especially with them leaving the south and going north, I don't see why it has to share a timeline with the comic.
Dunno, might matter to the comic creators. Copyright or... something. Like, telltale may not have complete free reign to do that sorta thing. I mean, for all we know there could be a cure by then (lol I don't think there will be but still.)
(note - I really don't know about this sort of thing though, it's just a guess.)
I already posted this on another thread, but I might as well repeat it here:
As much as I hate time jumps, zombie flanders might have the right idea. Hell, maybe Telltale could go even further than they ever have before, and leap twenty years into the future when Clem's a fully grown adult, and the zombie apocalypse is slowly burning out. I know the Kirkman purists would be up in arms, but if Clementine's story never intersects with Rick Grimes or any of the characters associated with him again, what's the problem?
They could ask Kirkman though. He might allow it.
