Whats with these double standards?

  • Well, Clementine witnessed Kenny kill Carver with 16 (or even 17) hits with a crowbar which rendered Carver's face into a bloody pulp. Now, Kenny is beating the shit out of Arvo who went after them with his own group, and accused them of stealing, even though (determinant, of course) you didn't steal anything from him (except for Jane, who still takes his gun even then), and Clementine tries to stop him from doing it. In Kenny's eyes, Arvo's a villain, just like Carver. Even though he isn't and Kenny's behaviour is inexcusable in that situation, it is Clem being hypocritical, not just Kenny being psychotic.

    I respect Kenny but this line made me shiver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFT5-2Nmx80

  • i can't believe this :)

    That glorious mane has nothing to do with my bias for Kenny.

    "If you love something set it free"

    so true

    "If you love something set it free". Don't beg them to stay because you can't live without them.

  • Kenny was still a good guy. He was just too far broken by his past experiences. Jane didn't do what she did to start a fight to the death. She did it to help Clem start to see how volatile Kenny was.

    Jane only started ever fighting back in self defence. That's when it turned into a fight for survival.

    She tried to convince Clementine to leave Kenny behind earlier, but she realized that Clem still thinks Kenny is a good guy. And of course Kenny said everything about protecting Clementine and all that shit after he murdered Jane.

  • that's really the same way i was thinking about it

    I love both characters. I just think in the end, Kenny lost it too bad and therefore he was in the wrong. Jane brought it on herself but even she didn't think that Kenny would try to actually murder her.

  • I'm fascinated how people always manage to ignore that key scene in which Luke died and Clem almost with him if it weren't for Mrs-selfish-Jane. It was by far the most dangerous situation for Clem in the whole season while Kenny was miles away drilling Arvo a new butt hole. Too many people seem to have a screwed judgment about moral behavior.

    Jane saved Clementine from the ice and when they got inside, Kenny only wanted to beat Arvo, even if Clementine asks for help. Kenny can ge

  • Kind of... Whatever you do, Kenny says you were right and says the other option was wrong. It's like depending on your choice, one of the endings doesn't even exist.

    zykelator posted: »

    No matter what you do, Kenny says that Clem is right. Obviously Kenny doesnt trust his judgement anymore and even he knows that he is too dangerous & unstable.

  • It's just that some people just treat Kenny as if he was god, as if he never made mistakes. That's why I choose to defend Jane in arguments instead of Kenny.

  • If that's the case, I can see where you're coming from with this point. I disagree with those people, I like Kenny, one of my favourite characters from both seasons, but he isn't flawless, and that's what makes him such an interesting character.

  • Jane specifically states that even she didn't expect him to go as far as to murder her, she stated that she didn't want anyone to die, she just wanted to show Clem how dangerous Kenny can be and how out of control he can be, he even shoved Clementine over just cause he was angry, she wanted Clementine to realize this so that Clem is safe, how is that selfish?

    HarjKS posted: »

    Exactly my point. He killed Jane since he believed she murdered AJ. Why did Jane do this? Just so she can have Clementine to herself.

  • Whats with these double standards?

    When Jane does something for others, she is selfish. When Kenny does something for others, he is selfless.

    You only think that other people have double standards because you are the one with double standards.

  • No.

    Therefore she is selfish.

  • So I hate her for going agaist Kenny, not because she is manipulative and her whole plan was fucked up?

    Uh.

    Okay.

    Good to know.

    Because she went against Kenny. Same reason people hated Luke.

  • I'm speaking in general. I don't know your story. For the most part, people have a tendency to take sides and hate characters that go against the ones they love. Luke and Kenny were pitted against each other, so yes, I do think that is part of it.

    "If you love something set it free"

    This reminds me of a famous and beautiful Basque song about freedom, "Hegoak" (Wings)

    Hegoak ebaki banizkio
    Neria izango zen
    Ez zuen aldegingo.

    Bainan horrela
    Ez zen gehiago txoria izango.

    Eta nik,
    Txoria nuen maite.

    If I had cut off its wings, it would have been mine and would not have flown away

    But if I had done that, it wouldn't have been a bird anymore

    And it is the bird that I loved.

    Okay, to the dude who said 'I don’t know why people hate Jane so much', you reply this:

    Because she went against Kenny.

    How is that speaking in general?

    For the most part, people have a tendency to take sides and hate characters that go against the ones they love. Luke and Kenny were pitted against each other, so yes, I do think that is part of it.

    And I said that this is a stupid generalization that clearly shows your bias, and is not something exhibited in any Pro-Kenny arguments I have read.

    I think he would to, I sure as hell would. Not kill but fight, which is also what K would do.

    But then again I'm a bit nicer than Kenny and would probably not be in that position :D

  • In general terms, people who love Kenny tend to hate Jane because she goes against him. It was the same thing with Luke. Not everyone feels this way, naturally. I don't know how clearer I can be. If you're looking for a fight, I'm not interested.

    You can say that but Carver is a grown man. Arvo is a puny wisp of a man, if not still a teenager. Its a little different circumstance.

    I understand what are you trying to say, but you worded your post so vaguely that it seemed like you were talking about every Kenny fan, and I took issue with that. Nothing more.

    Me neither.

  • It's pretty much the same situation. Kenny's beating up/smashing someone's head in while his "victim" is pretty much in the same state. Carver was shot in the kneecaps, rendering him unable to move aside from dragging himself. Arvo was tied down and had a leg brace. They both could not retaliate, so this man/still a teenager difference plays no role in this situation.

  • Well obviously to Clem there is a difference. The differences in the person's size, strength and attitude totally makes the optics of each situation feel different. Clem does not feel empathy or sympathy for Carver but does for Arvo. What other reason would she feel so other than the attributes I said earlier?

  • Clem does not feel empathy or sympathy for Carver but does for Arvo.

    It's determinant. It's not mandatory for her to have any sympathy for Arvo, so... For those who didn't show sympathy to him as Clementine, it remains the same. My point may not apply to every situation, but certainly can be applied in some.

  • When Jane does something for others, she is selfish. When Kenny does something for others, he is selfless.

    Finally something we can agree on.
