I don't understand Kenny fanatics
They have a strange habit of reveling him as if he can do no wrong like the fangirls who follow Daryl Dixon. Now I get it, Kenny had some good qualities, his loyalty and fierce caring of those he considers "family." And there is the OMG KENNY HAS BEEN WITH US FROM THE BEGINNING nostalgia factor. But what about his faults? There are two sides to everything and Kenny fanatics seem to completely ignore the dark side of this character.

I don't understand the need for 20 Kenny hate topics and Kenny love topics. Just let people like who they want to like.
I think I'll start a thread about Kenny on not understanding why people make threads about Kenny.
^This. We all have different opinions. Why can't some people understand that?
They don't understand that sometimes you have to put down Old Yeller.
Kenny was great at times, and I did agree with what he said a lot of the times, but he was crossing the line. He was becoming the one thing he hated and what his family and friends feared that he would become.
He had to be put down for his own sake and any real Kenny fan would put him out of his misery before letting him become the next Lily/Carver.
Because you cannot rationalize murder and that's what Kenny fans are trying to do.
Kenny was a mad dog at that final big choice and he's glad if you stop him from crossing the line.
It's all up for interpretation.
Well personally I like him because he just feels the most real to me. Not everyone can be a perfect human being. His flaws are what make him one of my favorites. He's not the sanest person around because everyone he cared about in season 2 got killed in under a week! There was no time to mourn like for Katjaa and Duck. So he had to bottle it up and once Jane talked about Sarita and then made Kenny think the baby was dead, he did what anyone who had been through hell like him would do, go apeshit on Jane. It's easy to judge but if the zombie apocalypse really happened nearly everyone here wouldn't be able to take half of what Kenny's been through. Just imagine watching your own son die in front of you after recently watching your wife commit suicide! I respect Kenny because deep down inside everything he does (even if it seems stupid and reckless) is for Clem. Kenny is the toughest motherfucker I know. And that is why he's one of my favorites. Right up there with Lee and Clem.
Can you just accept that some people think that he isn't too far gone, or that they don't think what he did was flat out murder?
People are entitled to their opinions.
No it really isn't, it was a murder attempt plain and simple. Even Kenny knows this.
Because he WAS too far gone when he attacked Jane like that. I wasn't going to let him become LIly/Carver, I wasn't. I care too much about Kenny to let him become the monster he most hated.
I also know he family WOULDN'T want him to kill Jane,
Than you should understand that it was his time to go and that Kenny never would want to become a murderer. He knows what he did was wrong, when you shoot him to save Jane, and he's finally given the peace he wanted since Duck died.
It was a mercy to kill Kenny and stop him from killing Jane.
In the car Kenny started the bickering first and Jane did want to apologize as she knows that she got caught up in the moment.
That analogy holds no merit as Kenny didn't see the baby die and he didn't know HOW it died only that it was an accident.
Well now it sounds like you're trying to make your opinion sound like a fact. Well here's some news for you, it isn't. It's called an "opinion" for a reason, and I respect your opinion but don't be going around claiming that yours is right and everybody else's is wrong.
Um, yes it is, there really is no right or wrong choice, it all depends on your opinion and interpretation of Kenny and Jane as both have their strengths and weaknessess. Kenny isn't 100% evil but also not 100% good, Jane isn't 100% evil nor is she 100% good, they're both flawed individuals, you're claiming that killing Kenny was the right choice and you're treating as it is a fact, everyone is different, choices are subjective, accept it.
"Then you should understand"
it's not a fact.
I believe you forgot you're on TWD forum James. No disrespect on Telltale's end, but this is the place where people go to start comment wars over little things and like to complain.
I think people's opinions towards Kenny would have been different if he hadn't appeared in Season 1.
Ha. Then why are the Kenny endings much more emotional than the Jane ones! Because they wanted to reward you for picking the right ending with the right person!
True.
I don't ignore his dark side, I understand his dark side, and, in my opinion, he started to fix it in Kenny's good ending.
I think Jane would still be a bitch if she appeared I'm season 1
I don't think so, her sister Jaime may have survived Season 1 if they stumbled upon Lee's group.
Me neither,but I guess it's just how it is.
Um, I'm pretty sure Lee would have done the same thing Kenny did if you just replace AJ with Clem. Kenny is a family man who loves kids, in his ending he's even willing to set off alone just so Clem and AJ will be safe.
Kenny has always been a great person, since season one episode one- he's lived up to the words he told Lee, he thought about the kids before he thought about himself and that's what a true man does.
Sure. But what about the fact that he ruined every group he was a part of? Clash with Lily, complete disregard for her point of view. Clash with Luke, Bonnie, Jane, Mike and Clem, and especially Arvo. It's great that he thought of the kids, props for that, but everyone else died/left because of him.
He has his reasons. Go ahead and call me an asshole but in that situation I think i would have made the same choices Kenny did. Hold on though, you actually feel bad for Arvo? I understand how people can like the others but I wanted Arvo dead since the beginning of the episode.
I would kill Jane too if the situaten was real setting up a 100% fight to prove a point=deserve to die in my book
I like both Kenny and Jane. But they were both crazy. I don't understand how you can't see that. I killed Kenny because he tried to kill Jane over an accident.
Yes I did feel bad for Arvo. I see him sorta like Ben, trying to protect those he cared for, making some bad decisions when in the end its all for naught. From his point of view, some girl (Jane) steals his gun leaving him completely defenseless when he already cant move too well, his group rallies for him, he doesn't want any fighting, (you can tell because he is going hysterical) and nobody dying, then his sister is shot by Clem (whom I think Arvo believed was still alive) Taken hostage by an abusive, racist redneck who keeps yelling at him and calling him "ruskie." I felt bad for him because he was just a guy and he was never given a chance to come clean to the group, he was always labeled as if it was his fault what happened, as if he was the one who killed Rebecca, as if he was the one that killed Luke. The whole shooting Clem situation I believe resulted as a build-up of all the emotional and physical abuse he suffered, so when he was in a position of power, he took advantage of it. And Arvo had his reasons just like Kenny. He probably saw it as his CPR had worked on his sister when she had reanimated and he want insane over the fact that Clem killed her, so he saw an opportunity to take control for once. You don't have to like him and it's understandable that you hated him. I just believe that Arvo was doing what anyone else would have done in that situation.
It's not just Kenny fans, Jane has them too. As a matter of fact, most characters have those idiots.
Not this again...
I think a simple explanation wouldn't hurt. Things haven't particularly been very civil on these forums since episode five was released, and now certain people just want an answer to help understand why everyone has become more hostile and biased toward each others' viewpoints.
More emotional endings don't mean they're the right endings. I got one of Kenny's endings, and it punched me in the gut with emotions real good, but it was way too theatrical. I prefer Jane's ending, because I felt it fit the Walking Dead more, and I felt Kenny had to die since his beatdown of Carver. A bullet to the head instead of the knee would have sufficed; he took it too far when they needed all the time they could get.
Either way, I loved Kenny for his character, but just because an ending gives you emotional feedback doesn't make it right. Jane's ending is my favourite, Kenny's is yours. Saying they're "right" for everyone and that Kenny is the "right" person isn't... well, right.
No, I don't agree. It's called "loyalty" which you (Kenny haters) will never understand.
"yeah but what have you done for me lately"
OMG he was so loyal!
I don't understand Jane fanatics.
they anticipated more players to go with Kenny. That's why it's a more detailed ending and the best!
Telltale didn't anticipate anything, and I wouldn't say it's more detailed than Jane's ending. It's got more close-ups because it needed more close-ups because it was more theatrical.
Again, it's the best ending for you. That doesn't make it the best ending in general.
Murdering Kenny is the stupidest ending if you want me to put it that way!
Again, in your opinion. I'd have no problem with you saying so if it didn't sound like you were stating it as fact. Feel free to find it stupid, no hurt feelings here, it just irks me when I read everyone saying Kenny's endings are "the right/canon/best/true/only" endings as fact, when it's all opinionated.
I'll be content with all my three different endings, happiest with my Jane ending, and bid you a good day. c:
