  • She makes no real attempt at explaining anything. And she has plenty of time

    This is bullshit. I watched the fight several times to make sure I got it. Was it the part where he came at her assuming she murdered the baby? Was it when she said it was an accident and he yells Bullshit interupting her? Apparently during a life or death struggle is "plenty of time" to explain.

    Like Kenny was interested in anything Jane might have said.

    She never actually calls for Clem to kill Kenny. When you have someone on top of you who's about to jam a knife in your chest, "Help!" seems

  • If Jane needing Clem is selfish then Kenny needing AJ is even more selfish. He put every thing had left into that baby. Thats why it was so easy for him to lose it on Jane. The Kenny apologists act like he never would do that to anyone... Jane proved he would. Anything happens to that baby under Clem's watch and I GUARANTEE he'd lose it just as badly. He had his blinders on to anything but AJ.

    But you know. Jane's the "Selfish" one for trying to save Clem from that.

    You do realise that all you said about Jane 'needed' Clem to survive could just as easily be said about Kenny and the baby and clem, right? Yet I don't see you saying he's selfish.

  • Fan speculation? So the Kenny vs Jane fight is fanfiction now?

    So, using your Logic, Kenny is selfish too for needing the baby for himself to survive mentally. That is fan made speculation. No wh

  • Yeah. Had it coming. Just like Carley for calling Lilly a bitch.

    I don't think "son of a bitch" helps even with someone who is extremely pissed off.

  • And Jane isn't selfish either. Her ending proves it.

    Kenny is the farthest thing from selfish. His ending proves it.

  • Yeah but I don't think jane would have thought she would die. Jane bet on herself to beat Kenny in a fight and believed that if any trouble came she would rely on Clem for help. She could have easily dropped the baby in the snow or buried it or even killed it with her knife but she put it in a car. I think she just wanted to leave Kenny and take Clem. How else could she convince Clem and Kenny to separate. Getting Kenny to fight her and kill him is the best option in janes mind.

  • He's not. But neither is Jane.

  • In a lot of ways he was becoming Carver. The fact that he beat Arvo up for being there when Luke did... The constant anger he exhibited to people who disagreed with him.

    Keep in mind back in episode 3 Bonnie says about Carver "he wasn't always like this" implying that something happened that turned him so ruthless. People change. Kenny was no longer just being angry at people who disagreed with him. He was becoming more violent.

    I explained every reason why Jane is selfish. Hell I even compared her to another selfish character. Kenny proved he wasn't Carver and he

  • Oh yeah, Kenny was SUCH A MONSTER in the endings where you get with him to Wellington...

    TIL doing something good completely erases the bad they did.

    Is everything that happens in a vaccum? If I shoot someone in the head in cold blood can that be erased if I donate to charity?

  • And in the real world the judge would totally accept "she manipulated him into killing her"... No wait you don't blame someone for their death like that. She made a mistake but she didn't deserve to die. When someone with anger issues kill someone you don't blame the person they killed. Believe it or not but no sane person would accept that. Just because she fought back doesn't mean she wasn't the victim here.

    Maybe not for you, but I guarantee tons of people were tricked into shooting him. Because of the way the scene was set up. Kenny attacks fir

  • And if Kenny had taken his rage out on Clem for whatever reason I'm sure she just "manipulated" him into it.

    I wonder what excuses you'll give him then.

    Tell that to Jane. Even if my Clem made clear to her she trusted Kenny no matter what and wanted to go with him to Wellington, Jane still

  • And she proves herself more right than even she could see and yet Kenny is the victim.

    I liked Jane more than Kenny before this episode. But by trying to show Clem "Kenny's true colors". Jane showed hers. She wants Clem to herself.

  • I didn't say anything about the Kenny vs Jane fight. I was talking about Kenny needing the baby to survive mentally.

  • Its called self defense.

    Kenny was going to flat out MURDER Jane... Clem killing him is saving someone else.

    Thats why you don't get life for self defense.

    Good argument. 10/10. Totally changed everyone's perspective on the issue. Nice job.

    Seriously though, I am willing to discuss with you if you actually feel like trying to make some points. Sitting here dishing out baseless insults is just a waste of your time and it doesn't prove anything. Nothing about my points are delusional at all. I have strictly been talking about what actually happened in the game.

  • There's something to be said that Jane stated her interest in ditching the baby yet she left the baby close enough to be heard.

    Thats what babies do. They cry. They make noises. Jane could have just as easily left the baby further away where it wouldn't have been heard or even made sure the baby died. Instead she made it possible for them to hear the baby. What I find funny is that the baby doesn't make any noises until AFTER the fighting. Nice timing there.

    I would like to point out a possibility in Jane's plan. Something I don't think she thought about, and something that is greatly overlooked

  • You're wasting your time. Belan thinks Kenny is perfect in every way and nothing anyone says will get through that Kenny was looking for blood the second he thought the baby was dead.

    You guys are missing the whole point of the episode, or even the entire series for that matter. That moment in the RV is when the whole season came together for me, that's when I figured it out. I'll quote Lee Everett here.

    "Part of growing up is doing what's best for people you care about... Even if it means hurting someone else."

    It's all about the choices you make, attempt to make, or are forced to make. You gotta do what you think is best, and I don't care who you are, you're going to fuck up royally at LEAST once, and at great costs. You can only do so much, you can only do what you think is best for those you care about the most, for those that you've got left. The thing is you have to realize that goes for everybody, the player isn't the only one making tough choices.

    I blame neither Jane nor Kenny, or anyone else for that matter throughout the entire series. These people have been through unspeakable, dark shit, things that we could never imagine. Things that will change the very person you thought you were, for better AND for worse. We can argue about it here from our perspective all we want, but try as we may we don't truly understand their situation. We're not in survival mode. We don't have to worry about monsters chewing our faces off, or scavenging for food, water, supplies, etc. and the stress that comes with it every, single day of your miserable existence just so you can live to repeat the process over and over, until you and all those you have ever cared about are finally dead and gone.

    They did what they thought was right, and maybe they were wrong in their execution, but they were wrong for the right reasons (That's another quote from the game, not word for word though). Kenny saw Arvo as a threat, and rightfully so. Sure he went overboard, but honestly, can you really blame him? He did have the group's best interests involved. Keeping the enemy secured and finding food, water, and shelter, something they were going to die pretty quickly without. So Jane misses her sister, she's tired of being alone and without someone to call family, as is Kenny. She was absolutely wrong for manipulating Clementine the way she did, it was in a way selfish because it was mostly for Jane, but I would be wrong to say she didn't care about Clementine. I'm not sure how much she cares about AJ, that was a wreck-less thing to do with him and she does think he's a liability, but I don't think she would kill him or put him in harms way again.

    Another thing I've learned, from the comics especially, is that people's deaths can be so sudden and unjustified, like Luke's death especially. He didn't deserve to go out like that, he just drowned in a situation that could have easily been avoided, just like Jane or Kenny. It sucks, it wasn't what he deserved, but that shit happens out of nowhere and for no good reason, it just does. You have to accept it, especially in a world like that. I would have liked to see Luke's character develop, but I can't say his death didn't add a tone and concept that was needed to accurately represent their world. It hit me pretty hard, this whole game series did. Telltale really know what they're doing, and I applaud them for that.

  • I can see.

    I'll just stop replying. Never understand the blind loyalty to Kenny

  • Well then he just wanted to attack a woman as soon as she showed signs of disarmament. Still not great.

    I don't personally think it had anything to do with that. He just wasn't going to attack her while she had her knife out.

  • Well, the idea of hypotheticals is the present an idea of possibilities. The main argument of the hypothesis is "What if AJ never started crying?" Yes, I know he did, and yes, he was hidden close by, but imagine if AJ never cried after Jane died? Imagine if Clem and Kenny actually believed him to be dead, and left him to die inadvertently? I'm not questioning Jane's thought-process or back-up strategies, I'm just presenting food for thought.

    What do you think of it?

    Kenny has a way of making history repeat itself.

    He lashes out at Clem for getting Sarita killed "but he apologized"

    Then he lashes out at anyone who disagrees with him "He's just looking out for the group" Yeah thats why almost everyone else ditched us

    Then he beats a defenseless prisoner "Arvo deserved everything he got" Yes its easy to say that now AFTER he shoots us. But before that the only crime Arvo committed was being there after Luke died.

    "Jane was egging him on in the car bringing up his dead family" And the entire time Kenny was being a reasonable nice guy? This is what happens when people argue. They get heated they don't think of what they're saying. Seems to happen a lot with Kenny.

    Then the fight. What it all comes down to. I've lost count of how many people say Jane "manipulated" Kenny into it. Well whose fucking fault is that? Kenny was displaying real anger issues. He was bordering on violent when people just disagree with him. He scared Mike and Bonnie away and the only reason I stuck with him as long as I did was because the game never gave me choice not to. Jane made a mistake but because it effected Kenny she's automatically the bad guy. I can easily side with Jane here because I don't have my blinders on when it comes to what Kenny's been up to. He does something and then says sorry about it later.

    "but he redeemed himself in the end by getting Clem and AJ to Wellington" That isn't redemption. Doing one good thing doesn't automatically erase all the bad. That doesn't make murder better. Thats like if I had shot someone in the head in cold blood and then expecting everyone to forgive me just because I donated to charity. Thats not how it works people!

    Redemption is what he did in season 1 sacrificing himself for Ben. Man that was such a better way for him to go then to have him come back and force himself into the story again.

  • My biggest problem with this season was how it all became about Kenny. I tried to play the mediator asking everyone to stop arguing and it was still assumed I was on Kenny's side. There's no avoiding it because it forces this attachment to Kenny. I'm like why can't I leave with Jane? I agree with her!

  • To the OP

    Alt text

  • If Jane knew that Kenny is unstable and could not be brought back even by Clem, and then told Clem to stay out of the fight anyway, and then gets overpowered by Kenny then this shows she makes stupid plans(most of the time, I agreed with her plan to walker gut our way out, if it weren't for those damned guards shooting Carlos and making the plan go down the toilet.)
