I don't think Kenny will ever be 100% the same as he was before, but I like to think he's on the right path to some form of recovery. Wellington is no longer a empty hope, plus (at least with my playthrough) he, Clem and AJ are together as a family. Sure the next couple of months will be rough, but they can face it together.
Kenny needed stability. And Clem, even after everything she's been through, is probably the most stable person to be by his side. His rock of Gibraltar. Notice how immediately he'd calm down the moment the two of them were alone together. Especially in the last episode. He loves/loved (determinant) her like a daughter. He may not ever be fixed. PTSD ain't no walk in the park, but with Clem (the wisest, most resourceful 11 year old in the world. Might as well be his therapist) and AJ "protecting" his mind, with the reassurance that they will make it down the road, he'll be fine. At least, that's what I hope with the ending I chose. There was no way in hell I was going to leave Kenny. I love that man, flaws and all.
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 … morethat 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.
His suffering only seems to be so much more important because he acts that way, and the writers agree. Clementine's been through worse. Lu… moreke'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.
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.
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 … moremake 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.

I wouldn't say your first line is entirely true. In episode 5, if you choose to help Arvo while he's getting beat, Kenny accidentally hits Clementine in the nose. Kenny tends to get in destructive modes where he acts first and thinks later and could easily end up accidentally killing Clementine if she got in the middle of a fight (ex. Jane and Kenny, even though she was lucky to not get hurt.). Kenny would never hurt Clementine intentionally, but he definitely could hurt her.
Kenny would never hurt Clementine.
Kenny's wrath is directed solely at fuck-ups, shitbirds, communists, and other sinners.
Because he'… mores 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.
my guess would be that he was holding in a lot of anger and even though he let some out by beating arvo it wasn't what did it, when he fought jane and managed to kill her most of that anger was let out so he is a bit calm now? idk but its more likely that he knew if he had a tantrum they wouldn't let the kids in even if he asked
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 lose… mores 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.
Everyone has suffered just as much as he has and they are not going into insane rages. Why is it okay for him to act this way when no one else does? He's not special.
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 s… moreave 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.
Um, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with me? If you knew me at all, and you clearly don't, you'd know I'm not less emotional than anyone, not even Kenny. I am less apt to go into violent rages however.

NO STOP NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nah..... he's dead in my timeline
I fixed him, with a bullet. I've been waiting since the meatlocker to put the mad dog down, didn't even hesitate.

cries
Mission accomplished.
She got problems.
Arvo got mad after that event and shot Clementine, a kid which did NOTHING to him. Kenny would never do that.
I hadn't noticed that. Even his death scenes cater to his fans' egos.
A moment of clarity.
Well actually Arvo ( VERY Stupidly) thought that Clem "Killed" his sister
Would you quit doing this, Flog?
No its not.

Well it was that or having a bunch of Kenny fans go COMPLEATLY INSANE and destroy the forums
More fan service to appease the noisy minority.
Actually for better or worse Kenny fans are the majority.......

Incorrect. They are just loud enough to make it seem so.
Word. Especially knowing this from experience.
Kenny is not as insane as everyone tries to make him, his ending was very much in character.
"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."
Oh another flaming Jane fan thinking they are better than others
Flog ofc it is his opinion and I strongly agree. Please go hug Jane you both seem to need some love.
He's not cured. Just because he had a few rational moments doesnt mean he's suddenly fixed.
Franubis "If you consider his attitude to be craziness, I think you have no idea of human nature."
Thank god somebody understands... Not every undesireable trait is insanity lol.
He isn't sick so you can't cure that. Rationality isn't humanity, why do you think you are so much better just because you are less emotional?
Everyone has suffered just as much as he has and they are not going into insane rages. Why is it okay for him to act this way when no one else does? He's not special.
Um, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with me? If you knew me at all, and you clearly don't, you'd know I'm not less emotional than anyone, not even Kenny. I am less apt to go into violent rages however.
"He's not cured because he still acts irrational". Sounds to me like you think less of him because he is broken.
That's not the right way to defend Kenny mate, there is no denying he was out there and not just "emotional"
Don't pass personal judgement on other users, not cool.
I've said this before, Kenny is a vampire. The blood of his victims keeps him calm only for so long.
Zykelator nice going! Btw if Kenny is God Jane is the Devil
You never surprise me
i doubt that, considering they have to keep that baby alive and if it dies, Kenny loses his mind again and needs to kill something to stay calm.
Who are you quoting because that's not what I said.
I would go with the devil any day. God in christianity seems pretty cruel and immoral anyway.
