    Well, if you cut off her arm, she either bleeds out, you axe Sarita, or the three more bites caused her to die. All of which are actions of Clementine and their consequences. How is that not her fault? Explain.

    Sarita was already dead when she got bit. The root of Sarita's death is the bite. That is why she died. Clem is not responsible for the bite

  • I'm amazed that 8 people agree with you blaming a little girl for making a grown woman scream and get eaten by zombies.

    But she did.

    The truth is, Clem tried harder than anybody else to save Sarita.

    Yes. Does change that Sarita died because of her.

    Especially Kenny, who fails to respect Sarita's wishes by amputating her limb when they're out of harm's way.

    What?

    Mike and Bonnie stealing directly from people they knew is absolutely relevant in showing how different these situations are. You do see the difference, right? This is just arguments for arguments sake? I'm really hoping so.

  • I say it's not Clem's fault if she does NOT axe her arm but instead the zombie's head. Clem IS partly responsible for the death of Sarita if she decides to chop her arm in the midst of the herd. The best course of action would have been to chop her ASAP upon escaping the herd alive. Which would have been at most possibly a half hour time window between the bite and amputation, then her survival might have been possible if that had taken place.

    Of course at the time being the player you'd likely make the chop decision immediately with the intent of preventing the infection based off past knowledge and experience with the series as well as the show and comics not thinking of the herd danger surrounding you and everyone at the moment and hastily and rashly chopping her arm right then and there which like Carlos says there are consequences to rash actions. Realistically and logically Kenny should have found a way to chop Sarita's arm the moment they escaped out the herd.

  • Got to agree with that about Kenny being petty. I mean I agreed with Kenny in everything in my first season 1 game play-through (so I thought) and still he didn't want to help me find Clem. I must have disagreed with him one time and that was enough for him to dis me. But luckily I responded to Kenny with the "right words" to him when mentioning family and how close Clem was to Lee. But concealed the bite and thus Christa and Omid declined to help find the little girl. I told Ben to make his own decision and he chooses to stay behind.

    Kenny got absolutely ripped apart on these forums after blaming Clem for Sarita's death. It was a huge deal up until the season finale was released. There is no double standard here..

    I don't think the situations are the same anyway. Kenny's outburst was more along the lines of misplaced anger, where as Bonnie genuinely didn't even care about Clem getting shot with a hunting rifle.

  • Were you around after episode 4?

    The car was abandoned.

    No, they were looking for a kid in the forest and left the car alone.

    Mike and Bonnie stealing directly from people they knew is absolutely relevant in showing how different these situations are.

    Lee's group knew very well what would happen if the owners ever came back, so the intentions were the same. They both stole everything from someone else in order to ensure their own survival. Bonnie and Mike knowing for a fact that it would hurt someone is irrelevant. Only thing which is different here is what drew them to do this.

    Mike and Bonnie did it because Kenny was going to leave them and most of the group behind, if they didnt choose to go north and Kenny would have left Arvo to die.

    Kenny and Katjaa decided to steal because the group was starving, even though majority of the group is sceptical about the fate of the owners and Lee disagrees.

    ps. Mike and Bonnie didnt steal from their group, they stole for their group. Nothing wrong with caring more about your group than others.

  • The car was abandoned.

    They walked that path earlier that day and the car wasn't there. The light in the cab was still on, the keys were in the car, and the supplies were openly visible. They decided it was abandoned so they could justify taking the supplies.

  • The group couldn't know what the owners of the car were doing, unlike Mike's band who had full knowledge. The car was left. Nobody was there. This is generally not done with supplies in a ZA unless the owners are dead. It was abandoned. Taking from the car was only a half hour wait away from taking from Everett's pharmacy. The fact that you have to use the word IF when talking about the owners coming back shows that. There was no IF in Mike and Arvo taking stuff. That is different and it is relevant and no amount of funnelling into basic simplistic terms makes it otherwise. Everyone who has existed in a zombie apocalypse this far has taken stuff that didn't belong to them initially but that does not make all actions the same, no more than all crimes are the same in real life.

  • The group couldn't know what the owners of the car were doing, unlike Mike's band who had full knowledge.

    Yes, Mike and Bonnie knew what it would cause, Kenny & Katjaa (Lee) Knew what it could cause.

    This is generally not done with supplies in a ZA unless the owners are dead.

    There was no signs of blood, walkers or struggle. It was simply left alone.

    There was no IF in Mike and Arvo taking stuff.

    (the owners actually came back eventually, if you didnt realize this)

    If they didnt do that, Kenny would have left everyone else behind who didnt follow him and he would have left Arvo to die. Kenny had no choice because they were starving, Mike and Bonnie had no choice because Kenny was going to either leave them behind with Arvo or take them with him and let Arvo die, so they could go north (where mike and Bonnie didnt want to go).

    Everyone who has existed in a zombie apocalypse this far has taken stuff that didn't belong to them initially but that does not make all actions the same, no more than all crimes are the same in real life.

    Theres no excuse to steal from someone else that would make it right. Sure you can have different reasons but it doesnt change anything. I would steal to ensure my survival, but i wouldnt be a hypocrite and call someone else immoral for doing the same thing to me.

    Bonnie is a calm, kind and trusting individual with no signs of mental instability and she is there to see what happens. There are a few differences in the situations that give her less right to be upset than Kenny.

    Bonnie also WAITED for Clementine to come back and talk to her so she could bitch, while Kenny actively tried to avoid talking to anyone for a while because he just wanted to be alone for a while and calm down.

    So, while I do not think either of them did something at all justified, I do think Bonnie is a bit more hate-worthy for hers.

    Also, there was a massive uproar over Kenny's outburst on the forums where everyone seemed to forget all the good things he's done to talk about the one bad thing he did and how bad it made him. There's no double standard. But if there was, I think it would be somewhat justified.

  • Bonnie also WAITED for Clementine to come back and talk to her so she could bitch, while Kenny actively tried to avoid talking to anyone for a while because he just wanted to be alone for a while and calm down.

    She was smoking outside. That's how people usually do it.

    Funny...

    You seem to forget all the good Bonnie did. She is the reason the group even managed to escape from Howe's. She possibly saved Kenny's life by distracting Carver with the walker breach warning, while Carver was beating Kenny to death.

    Wow. Just wow. Are you serious? Not all bitten people will die. There his always a chance.

    So I just going to repeat myself:

    Did you miss the part in which Sarita gets bitten tree more times after Clem cuts off her arm, did you miss the option you get to axe Sarita, did you miss that she could not have screamed and gotted killed if Clem did not cut off her arm in the middle of a walker herd?

    Clementine's the protagonist.. she isn't just going to sit around and do nothing.That would obviously be terrible for the story. She is a team player, and very capable. She has done plenty of risky things before (several in that episode). She had a role to play. She was the best bet for sneaking around and getting Luke the radio.

    What's your point? Troy came into the room and he was forced to make a decision. There wasn't even time to really talk about it.

    It is completely out of character for Clementine to refuse to help. She has done riskier things before. The night before this incident she went on a riskier mission to find/steal the radios in the first place.

  • Everyone in the group has put Clementine in danger at some point.. in the sense that they have her help out. She is a member of the group, and she always tries to pull her weight. Like I said before, it is 100% out of character for Clementine to refuse to help and to instead have someone do something for her. She isn't some helpless little kid. So yeah, you can technically argue that Kenny put her in danger by entrusting her to carry out the mission... but considering she does this sort of thing all the time it is pretty much inconsequential.

    Of course Kenny did the natural right thing by taking the blame for the radio, that doesn't mean his actions were not heroic.

    If you set a house on fire and extinguish it after, you're not a hero.

    Like I said before, it is 100% out of character for Clementine to refuse to help and to instead have someone do something for her.

    3rd and 4th episode has more situations where you can refuse to do everything for others and finally look after yourself.

    Help Sarah or not?

    Take walkie talkie or not?

    Save Sarah or not?

    Try to get the water or let Bonnie do it?

    You are given plenty of times to be selfish, showing that Clementine doesnt have to be all nice and think whats best for others.

  • Try to stay on the subject, Belan.

    Oh please. How am I not?

    If you set a house on fire and extinguish it after, you're not a hero.

    You're comparing trusting Clementine to carry out a mission to intentionally causing damage? That doesn't make any sense at all and you know it. If you don't want to go as far as to say Kenny is a hero, then fine, you can be that way, but Kenny deserves a nod for doing the right thing.
    (As an aside, I find it so ironic that you're trying to be so self righteous about this, while you're actively arguing for abandoning a baby for survival reasons in a different thread..)

    Kenny was risk taking by having Clem carry out the mission and he put her into harm's way, but she was simply being a team player. She was the best option. And once again I'll state that there was zero time to even discuss the matter, because Troy came into the room. You're ignoring the fact that the group had Clementine do something even more dangerous the night before, and she had NO problem with it. Also, you can't straight up refuse to take the radio, you can only suggest that Mike should do it. Clementine never says anything along the lines of refusing to do what Kenny wants.

    Later in the episode she is forced to sneak into Carver's office to get the speakers working. There isn't even an option to insist otherwise there. You know why? Because Clementine is the protagonist... so of course she is going to be doing these things. It would just be silly to have her opt out.

    3rd and 4th episode has more situations where you can refuse to do everything for others and finally look after yourself.

    I suppose that is true to a minor extent. I'm not counting the radio issue, considering there really wasn't time for a discussion about it as Troy interrupted. The Sarah decision is a little different because its simply more of a personal moral decision. Jane basically wanted to bail immediately (surprise) and Luke gave up as well. Clem eventually giving up on her is different than straight up deciding not to want to be a help to the group.

    I can't speak to the Bonnie-water situation as I seriously don't have time to go look up what happens in that scene when asking to not be forced to squeeze through the small opening. Either way, this is pretty minor by comparison.
