Why didn't they just make Bonnie the main character in 400 days?

I mean everybody in the 400 days crew was useless, why didn't Telltale just center around her? They could've made those time jumps like they did with each character but just make it around Bonnie. For example, Day 1 which is originally Vince's story would start out with Bonnie still being a complete druggie still. And so on with the other days.

  • Because the writer of episode 3 didn't know where to put them in the story.

  • They wanted to write out a group of different stories to come up with different characters to see how the fans would react to them. What surprises me though, who liked Bonnie, i know tons of people liked Eddie/Wyatt/Russel/Nate/ Shell/ maybe a few becca fans, but liked Bonnie going in to season 2? No one.

  • I would have preferred someone else in Season 2 but At least It wasn't shell idk why but she was my least 400 days character.

  • mine too, i just never could relate with her character. Bonnie kept getting on my nerves whenever she would say she was sorry about something.

    They should do that with the next DLC, unless it's about all of the 400 Days cast again, one character per ep

  • I didnt dislike Bonnie.

    Because she's useless junkie. And her stupidity killed Luke.

  • Because Bonnie is a hypocrite and a bitch, they needed one likeable character.

    Tbh I actually liked Bonnie in 400 days, she was sweet and naive and I actually thought that her drug addiction was pretty interesting since it's something different. I hated Bonnie for a long time after what she did to my Clementine (leaving her to bleed out), but her actions were justifiable because she was afraid that Kenny would kill all of them, I still don't like her but I wouldn't kill her immeaditley if Clementine met back up with her.

  • True, true. But Bonnie is also the woman who didn't even think Carver was bad until he shot Walter, she's not very smart and gives into peer pressure easily.

  • If you say "That's everything we have." option, they look down at the bags in sadness, they knew what they were doing was wrong.

  • Fuck all the 400 days people... just put Eddie in season 3.

  • that awkward moment, when you are so dead, that you're skin color changes

  • I loved Bonnie, still like her to be honest.

  • Water and death tends to make you pale

  • I was starting to like her in episode 4 and 5, never expected her to ditch though :(

  • Because 400 days is just showing the stories of other survivors in the ZA.

    But that is not Christa. It does not even look remotely like Christa.

  • That is Anna Correa, the pregnant woman from the Crawford Hospital tapes in Episode 4 of Season 1.

  • I will admit that Ive hated Bonnie since Ep2, but I liked her in 400 Days, the only one I really preferred over her was Vince (of the protagonists).

    And I think they did write it knowing Bonnie would be the only one to play a major role, seeing as how shes the only one thats guaranteed to go with Tavia. I also still contend that Bonnie joined Carver earlier than the 400th day and joined Vince's group as a plant to try and convince them to go with Tavia. I just dont think they ever worked out how to include the other characters into the story, so they just didnt.

    Im also disappointed that Bonnies entire backstory seemed completely irrelevant to S2, her drug addiction, her love for Leland, possible residual guilt over killing Dee, none of it seemed to affect her story in S2.

  • Anna Correa, is heavyli implied to to be Molly, why would she change her hair back? + the change of her being in the same state is incredibly small

  • Um, the corpse isn't Anna Correa nor was Anna Correa ever implied to be Molly. They looked nothing alike.

  • It doesn't make you THAT pale. Also even if it were Christa, I'm pretty sure Clementine would have recognized her or said something about it. After all, Christa has been an important guardian figure to Clem for two years. She even spends the entirety of season 2 hoping she's alive and asks Edith if she's in Wellington.

    she was implied to be Anna corea, why do you think she beat that walker so hard then?

  • I heavily liked Shel out of all of them. She's smart, makes her own decisions, and is the most reasonable person out of everyone. The problem with putting her as the character that makes it into S2's plot is the fact that Becca is gonna be there screwing things up and being such a pain in the ass. If Becca was never put into 400 Days, Shel definitely would've been the one to be chosen.

    But because it is was it is, Bonnie was chosen. There's a sense of vibe in her. Someone who can be manipulated into working with a crazed man, but still retain her sense of humanity and reject some badness. I expected Wyatt and Russel to do the same, but they seem more of the type that would get scared into obeying Carver. Bonnie has a tiny sense of fearlessness in her that set her right but she can still do wrong at any moment in time because of Carver's influence.

    This is why Telltale took that shot with her and decided it'd be best to still go along with it. It's likely they tried out all characters first before going with Bonnie.

  • The Crawford tapes that she was manipulating the Doctor with sex so he'd give her diabetic sister meds, till he said he wouldn't do that anymore and her sis was murdered by Crawford

  • dafaq. When did that happen, was it something that could be overlooked?
