Is Kenny "Fixed" now?
[Mod edit: In order to ensure civil discussion regarding the Pizza/Ice Cream choice, I have created a Civil Character Discussion Megethread. In order to ensure there is no drama, I am locking all other threads about the choice - old and new alike. Please keep discussion in the Civil Character Discussion Megathread. Thanks! - Blind Sniper]
I cannot get over the fact that Kenny in ALL his endings is apparently "cured" of whatever he had in this season ( He's not even mad at Edith who tell him that he cannot come in) in fact he's BEYOND COMPREHENSIVE AND REASONABLE
Was killing Jane really his "cure" ? or is he just like this for the moment and old "Broken Kenny will comeback eventuallly

He's not "cured". He even said that in the ending. He said something like "You need to stay here Clementine because I'm afraid I'll hurt you"
Not fixed, but he definitely redeemed himself.
Well that demonstrates he's ATLEAST reasonable ( THAT is already progress)
In you opinion*
That is not a fact.
He isn't fixed. He'll never be fixed. He just managed to rise above his insanity long enough to realize what he'd become and do his best to make sure he wouldn't destroy what little family he had left. He might not be as bad as he was before reaching Wellington, but he'll never be fixed.
He's getting better, I think a lot of that time with Clem in those 9 days helped him through some of his issues, but he's most likely still in a very fragile state of mind.
But how calm he remained in that scene proved that he had at least some of the old him back. I think that if Clem stayed with him, he's going to progressively get better, but if Clem went to Wellington, I think he's going to completely lose it eventually.
By forsaking himself into isolation if it meant Clem and AJ would be safe in Wellington? A place that showed way more mercy and compassion towards strangers (Clem, Ken, and AJ) than they needed to. Oh, yeah. Definitely redeemed himself there. It's not an opinion, not just my opinion at least. It's a guarantee that she'd be safe, and Kenny was the one that made it all happen by convincing Edith to let the kids in.
His Character has developed to much and sadly we know what happens to developed characters in the walking dead universe
Agree. He choose to be the best he can be.
Well, either way him being alive sucks. If he leaves Clem alone at Wellington, he's most likely going to go completely mad and die a lonely, miserable death. If Clem is stuck with him, that madness may be shifted onto her or anyone else who threatens her and the baby.
Sarita's whole existence already proves that Kenny can't be "fixed" permanently just by having a companion. He needs proper therapy, something a troubled young girl can't afford to do when she has her own problems and a baby to look after.
The same thing that happens Non-Developed characters only 50000 Less pointless AND A BILLION MORE SAD
there is no cure. he just did not had anything to get mad enough.
Nick..... ;_;
O please don't .......................i still feel sad about it (AND HE WAS ACTUALLY DEVELOPED)
People trend to forget he's one of the (if not THE) character that has suffered the most in both seasons...
Lost Katjaa, Duck, tried to save the kid that provoked their deaths, met Clementine again after obtaining a safe place at the Lodge with Sarita, Walter and Matthew, those three die (Walter was his fault though, but Carver is quite unpredictable), loses his eye, and gets called crazy by everybody else in the group.
You really think you'd be happy-fancy-pants after all that shit? You'd really forgive Arvo for putting Clementine and the baby in danger when he could have told those to back off?
Really?
If you consider his attitude to be craziness, I think you have no idea of human nature.
are you talking to me or the commentors ? (if it's to the commentors ignore the bit below)
Because i'm with Kenny but i feel like hes putting his suffering behind him i just want to know if anyone thinks he's gonna heal his wounds
The commentors in general, I mean, I didn't feel like he ever was crazy in the game(s), so in a sense, the only "fix" he needed was knowing that Clem and AJ would be fine. And that's provided in the ending where you don't shoot him.
His suffering only seems to be so much more important because he acts that way, and the writers agree. Clementine's been through worse. Luke's lost his real AND adopted family. Bonnie went through a horrific experience in 400 Days. We have no idea what Mike went through. Arvo lost his whole family in an incident he tried to stop - HE DID try to stop his group after realizing they had a baby.
Kenny's reaction to a boy who was no longer a threat was utterly crazy and CHILDISH, and definitely inexcusable. People selectively sympathize with him even though there is evidence provided that he's not at all objectively right.
I fully understand that i feel like him being with them those 9 days REALLY healed him of his wounds
But according to most this is 99% temporary and Kenny will NEVER be healed
Watch Wellington be home to cannibals and only trying to increase their reputations with surplus supplies handouts. xD
IF they WERE cannibals they would have let them stay just to kill them
I see what you mean, but we won't know for certain unless it is addressed in Season Three.
Anyways, didn't we say the same about his loses in Season One? How he would never think straight again and stuff... And at least it seems like he did get his stuff together before the start of Season Two, with the group at the lodge. Dunno.
Yes.
even without it the translation it seems obvious he could not stop that in time.
and with it you would know that he tried to stop them.
it was not them that opened fire it was you/kenny.
Really, if Clem and AJ stay at Wellington, he fulfilled his reason for living and would pretty much be at peace for whatever long he has left on his own.
So yeah, I'd say if you stayed at Wellington, he is "cured". If he ate a bullet or kissed a walker the next day, he'd die happy knowing he finally saved the kids.
He is probably managing his PTSD better. I was like Kenny for a while after i got back, then i mellowed out after i started drinking.
What if you left with him?
He's probably going to stay a bit paranoid about their safety still, but I think the knowledge that Wellington exists, and that they could be accepting members eventually would give him solace.
I think he'd stick around the area and come back with the kids to check for a spot every month or so, like Edith told him to do.
And if he somehow dies while taking care of AJ and Clem, the two of them could just join Wellington on their own.
Even then, it was BURICKO who overreacted (he must've seen who Clem/Kenny were aiming at) and took advantage of the confusion to try and kill them. Although he's a god-awful shot...
Kenny would never hurt Clementine.
Kenny's wrath is directed solely at fuck-ups, shitbirds, communists, and other sinners.
Because he's unstable from being concentrated Kenny, however, he's afraid he wouldn't be able to laserbeam focus his efforts on protecting her and AJ. This is understandable as it's like trying to focus the heat and light of the sun itself into a pinprick. That effort is possibly world-ending.
Hey you don't have to tell me. I'm 100% teamKenny :P
Well he did beat Clementine......... in a foot race to Wellington (I think he cheated).
Still look at how happy he is...............
I think Clementine understands Kenny's PTSD, because she has it herself. After seeing Larry die like that, yeah.... She has to have it.
Definitely "fixed"!
i hope
DETERMINANTLY have it she can determinantly not see it
Oh god, another "Kenny is love" guy.
I'm glad he's determinant. He's going to die no matter what, and his death scenes were deliberately written to make sure his fans wouldn't riot.
and arvo tried to stop him. so why put all the blame on arvo?
why must buricko have seen it?
Larry was just the beginning of a lot of things that could have contributed to her having PTSD.
Clem's seen some shit, yo. There's stuff that happened in the time skip with Christa too, she looks really traumatized when Jane says the baby's dead and Clem's like "Not again..NOT AGAIN!!". I think she was remembering Omid Jr.'s death. Who knows what else happened.
yeah you have a point
