I Can't Watch The Final!
Every time I want to watch a scene from the end or the game itself, I can not, because every time I feel sick just thinking about those sad scenes.
Relive those moments is like a blow to the heart. Then I, having chosen Jane, to see the final with Kenny put me KO. I'm still stuck with my choices, but Kenny final is too emotional.
And you guys? Are you brave to replay or watch the game again? Or you feel bad too?

You are not alone. I can watch all the endings, but the one with Kenny leaving or staying at Wellington I've only seen once and it made me bawl my eyes out. Part of me does not want to go back and watch it again so I can just remember how good it was and it will never grow stale if I don't re-watch it.
Ahhh yes, Kenny's endless rage subsides just in time for him to have a perfect moment of clarity so the player doesn't have to feel like he was angry at them as he died.
I've played the finale once, and that's it. Apart from watching some playthroughs, I can't bring myself to go through it again, but it's more to do with just frustration than upsetting me ;_; but damn, that scene with Kenny near the end did bring tears to my eyes.
Would've preferred it if he were more terrified and angry... Probably would've slammed me more emotionally if he cried out "Why, Clementine?! How could you.." and slipped away, rather than the much more dramatic scene we got instead. The amount of guilt I'd feel if that happened... Ohhh, boy.
Whenever I come on these forums, I feel like I am incapable of emotions lol. I didn't find the last episode sad at all except for Luke's death and the Lee flashback
Exactly!
Or if he managed a gurgled "Fuck... you...." Oh my, even I would have felt that sting for a very long time. That would have been memorable.
I know right? Even til the end the writers somehow managed to paint Kenny as a tragic hero instead of going all the way with his rage and temper. It's as if when he was shot, all the anger disappeared. That's not how Kenny ever was. It's just out of character for everything.
Luke falls soundlessly in the lake while staring at the player and drowns. Jane is stabbed and dies. Nick is dead off screen for crying out loud. Sarah is devoured alive. Rebecca dies and reanimates. Kenny gets a great speech in his death. Every other death is not glorious and dramatic like Kenny's death was haha. If he were to have one last word before his death it would have been great for him to say something like you guys pointed out.
Or something like based on your relationship with him, if you picked all pro-Kenny options with him "Why Clem? Why? We could have made it..." Then he dies.
If you tried not to connect with him and picked all anti Kenny options, "God damn it Clem. I tried so hard... AJ's blood is on your hands. You stupid kid..." Then he dies.
Given how he behaves when he chooses to stay and put Ben out of his misery in S1E5 I don't think he is out of character when talking to Clem as he is dying.
Definitely, I like the opposing dialogue for how you treat him beforehand. They sure rode that Kenny car for as long as they could didn't they.
Well that's your opinion and I can respect that. That moment in Season 1 made me like Kenny. I saw him for a flawed but good man at heart.
My post above is about Kenny in Season 2, however. Kenny in Season 2 was very emotionally driven by anger and bull-headedness (Sarita's death, his flat out refusal to talk about where the group was going to go, his pursuit of Wellington). Why wouldn't he be upset that Clem took away his chance of getting to Wellington? I thought he would be very angry that Clem chose Jane over him. I don't think Kenny would have been content with Clementine going off with a baby-killer.
Hehe, well, as a Kenny loyalist I like to think he'd never go as far as to say 'You stupid kid!' or 'Fuck you!' but I certainly would've appreciated something less positive... I find it hard to believe Kenny would really go ahead and say putting him down was the right choice.
Because he knew what he became... I picked Jane, but i loved Kenny: he was a good man, he only wanted to protect Clementine and AJ, he was one of my favourite characters.
But i killed him simply because he was becoming a murderer and uncontrollable, and i knew that i had to kill him.
R.I.P. With Katjaa and Duck!
I've replayed the entire series about 4 times total.
Kenny's ending always break me in the end, even though I have a perfectly good wall to punch next to me to keep my manliness somewhat intact.
I've watched the scene at least 100 times now, didn't really feel sad for Ken even the first time.
I cringe every time a youtuber doesn't stay with Jane. Love her!
And Sarita!
Yeah, me too for this too. XD
It's the opposite for me, lol. I cringe at anyone who goes with her.
I forget, what does he say to Clem after she kills Sarita?
I cringe with all the endings
Semi-serious
I've replayed season 2 3 times already and everytime at the ending, I just couldn't bring myself to kill Kenny and the ending with him in Wellington,makes me cry all the time and I chose to be with him and Aj throughout all 3 playthroughs. Though I would have to admit, that the hardest part to play again imo was kicking Sam and killing him. I hate that part.....
“YOU FUCKING STUPID KID! YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT CLEMENTINE!”
Yeah I thought it went something like that...
Seems like a fitting combination of mine and torkahn's dialogue. Right up his alley when he's angry.
Pretty much.
He did call Clem a stupid kid in ep 4 didn't he??
None of the endings really make me cringe. I'll admit the ending that made me kind of emotional was when Clem decided to stay at Wellington. It was sad. :C
The only thing that makes me cringe when watching these endings again is looking at people's comments complaining how the player should have shot Kenny / let Jane die, so I try to avoid the comments.
The finale would have been the best episode ever if Luke had survived. It's already emotionally taxing having to go through all of it again, but Luke's death is the worst to have to re-experience.
The 'stay at Wellington' ending (the ending I chose!) was the best, in my opinion. Writing-wise, storywise, and cinematically. I don't even like Kenny all that much yet it's the saddest for me. It makes me feel bad saying goodbye to someone I've known for quite a while.
Honestly? I didn't cry or feel emotional at any of Kenny's endings. They all felt a bit too out of character. I didn't feel sad at all during this season, I don't understand why people thought the dream sequence was heart wrenching because I couldn't honestly care about it. Though it did have some cool lines.
no, your not alone, i cried at ducks death on my youtube lets play. DUCKS death
I too cried at the Kenny endings, but only for the stay at Wellington one.
I got to agree. If you pick the 'Stay at Wellington' that performances Melissa and Gavin give are so damn convincing it just breaks my heart. Kenny having nothing on him but that hat to give for AJ really brought me to tears, even when he was saying about not wanting to turn around while he walked away it was just too much for me to take. It was such well handled scene where we should be glad Clem will be somewhere safe, yet we're upset about her having to say goodbye to Kenny. I didn't always agree with Kenny, but damn I cared about the guy and moment was brilliant.
But you're right, even though there were a couple other things that bothered me in the finale, it would've been one of the best episodes ever if Luke survived or they at least handled his death better or had all that build up with him and Kenny go somewhere. Nothing in any series has ever annoyed me more than that death and the bad setup for it, to the point watching it just frustrates me rather than upsets me x_x
Oh well, as that silly post on tumblr goes:
We must have faith children ;_;
I cried when I decided to watch kenneths endings and man it hit me like a truck cus I cried like a baby XD
Oh wow o.o that's crazy, although I did the same for the wolf among us XD
Yeah a lot of the endings but the Kenny ones, kinda suck
I guess it is pretty easy since they're only a few hours long.
The Kenny ones weren't all that great themselves. Especially the one where she leaves with him.
They still had a lot more effort put in.
Go with Kenny, this ending make me cry of happiness. Kenny is Clementine best protector forever.
The shiniest turd is still a turd.
Lol you must choose your first final! The others aren't your final. XD
