Who would you rather travel with?
Kenny?
Or, Joel? ( from The Last of Us. )
Personally, I'd choose Kenny, over Joel.
Even though Joel is probably a better survivor, fighter, and is definitely more calm and reasonable, I'd still pick Kenny.
Mainly cause overall, Kenny seems to have a greater decency than Joel.
And Kenny was also more personable than Joel.
Pro's of traveling with Kenny: He's intelligent. He's hardworking. He's good with his hands. He's personable. He's very optimistic. He's fiercely protective of people he cares for. He's shown himself to be a very physically strong man. He's extreemly tough, both physically and mentally. And he's good in a fight, particularly in Season 2.
Con's of traveling with Kenny: He's short tempered, probably suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. He can be irrational. He can be rude. And he tends to not always think things through.
Pro's of traveling with Joel: He's tough. He's shown himself to be very physically strong. He's smart. He's resourceful. He's calm and rational, especially when things are tense. He's very athletic. And he's a brutal and merciless fighter.
Con's of traveling with Joel: He's very aloof. He has a history as a murauder. And has been known to have a very pessimistic outlook on things.

You...can't be serious? Kenny is "intelligent"? "Personable"?? "Optimistic"??? "Physically strong"???? "Extremely tough, both physically and mentally"?????
Do you even know the definitions of those words? If you did, then you'd know that Kenny is NONE of those things.
Add the cons you put for both, I don't know how you (or anyone) would pick Kenny over Joel, who actually has all those pros.
Joel by far. Kenny breaks down too much, and Joel is a way better survivor.
Joel also deals with things way worse than TWD walkers on a daily basis; he could live thru this shit with his bare hands....god help them if he gets a weapon with infinite hits (aka most TWD weapons).
I think you're wrong about Kenny not being mentally, or physically tough. That guy took a beating and kept on kicking.
Kenny. I fucking hate Joel.
I would way rather travel with Kenny than Joel, main reason is, is that I haven't played The Last Of Us but the other reason is because, if we are talking about being Clementine or being someone close to Kenny, then I would definitely want to travel with Kenny Hes always nice to the people he cares about (eg. Clementine, AJ, Duck, Katjaa) and didn't really have anything to do with other people, he has two goals, to stay alive and to protect the people he cared about, If people try to get in his way while he's trying to complete those goals then they will be hurt/killed, you saw it with Lee, he was trying to protect Duck from the inevitable and threw Lee against the wall and started throwing fists, or when Arvo shot Clementine Kenny was the first one to come out and try and get them to fuck off and try and help Clementine out, get the truck running to keep her warm, waste gas to make sure that Clementine was okay and warm. That's why i would want to stay with Kenny instead of fucking Joel
I Would rather go travel with Claire Redfield, and Clementine lel... nuff said
I like Kenny more than Joel but they are close survival wise.
Any other candidates?
What if you merged them into one superior being instead
We get Joel along with all the Floridian goodness
Everyone wins
Only because Carver decided not to finish off what he could put to work. Joel would've literally raped Carver in front of everyone with that walkie talkie.
Also, no Kenny is not mentally tough; at least not too often. S2, Episode 4, and on, is a testament to that. Yeah he's been thru shit, but so has Joel....and Joel deals with TLOU infected which shit all over TWD walkers.
On a more serious note: is it really fair to compare "man surviving in crapsack world for ~2 years" to "man surviving in crapsack world for 20+ years"
I mean, no shit Joel's going to be better in most categories, he has 10 times the experience Kenny has
How about we make it interesting and fight on more equal ground; 2-years-in Joel vs. 2-years-in Kenny?
I´d rather travel with Kenny. I never liked Joel.
I'll travel with neither, at the end of the day they're both a-holes, Kenny more so.
And what does that make you?
There's no need to be a prick!
Thats where i stopped reading.
I would rather go with a person who wont be a constant threat to me. Too many middle-aged man with mental issues in za.
Luke.
I'm just kidding (I'm not)
Joel by far.
And what are you talking about? "He's personable. He's very optimistic. He's extreemly tough, both physically and mentally. And he's good in a fight, particularly in Season 2."
are we talking about the same Kenny? Optimistic? no. Mentally strong? no. Good fighter especially in season 2? no.
Joel isn't that much of an asshole. Look what 2 years in the ZA has done to Kenny, and what 20 years has done to Joel.
Joel.
Well, realistically I wouldn´t wanna travel with either but I had to choose one of the two and Kenny is the character I like more.
The only reason Kenny didn't fight back is because Carver was protected by people with guns. I didn't say Kenny was superior to Joel, only that saying Kenny wasn't tough wasn't true.
Like Jane? She's a fruit cake
Joel. He has been through more devastating situations than Kenny, and has killed to keep his companion safe, not for revenge. He is also a very good thinker, never acting with ONLY emotion.
It was just a joke my man
But your arguments sound pretty stupid though.
We just escaped the mansion in this
Time for a old fashioned Jill Sand which. Very filling.
Kenny.
Nah, not with Jane. I'd go with someone like Molly.
While they are both less than moral at their worst. I would definitely pick Joel. In comparison he's more approachable, cool-headed, likable, and mentally stable compared to Kenny. He's also a superior survivor and fighter, having twenty years of experience in a zombie (clicker) apocalypse, and he has yet to break down.
i know i laughed at that part too. I wouldn't describe Kenny as intelligent, however he isn't a dumb ass he did get that truck fixed three years after the apocalypse.
He had previous experience with fixing cars, so it doesnt really prove anything about his intelligence.
True. Kenny knows basic math.
He isn't too good at coloring anymore, ever since losing one eye, he can't stay in the lines.
LMAO. I love you.
I'd hit that
