Who was better Jane or Molly?
Who do you think was better, Molly or Jane? For me Molly was portrayed as survivalist who also cared for other people, whereas Jane seemed to only care about herself and Clementine.

I didnt really see much evidence of that, to be honest. When did she actually help anyone else, bar the time clem guilted her into it
I prefer Jane as she seems like more of a real person, molly was just cartoony
They both sucked
Wow! What an original ideal for a post!
How did you come up with this kind of concept? Did you do extensive soul-searching and dig deep into your cerebellum to create such a unique, interesting, and cool concept for a post like "Molly Vs. Jane?" Or did you mess around with scientific beakers and create complex equations on chalk boards to help understand people's riveting conversions for a "Versus" thread?
Truly, you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for creating the most interesting thread on a forum to date!
You may want to write this down, because sarcasm obviously isn't your strongest point.
The question the OP has posted is quite a legitimate one. He/she might be genuinely interested and is doing some research. It's actually quite refreshing to have a sensible thread, rather than the usual rubbish. Such as, 'Clem's journey through puberty in S3'.
You knew what the thread was about before even opening it, so why even bother posting if you don't agree with what the OP is asking.
No all you wanted to do was try and be sarcastic, rude and nasty. In future, don't bother.
As for the question the OP asked, neither was better. Both Molly and Jane were evidence of lazy writing in my opinion. The writers involved couldn't think of another way out of certain situations, so dreamt up both characters, who just happen to be experts in everything.
Without having those two involved, I could have thought up a far better storyline. Anyone could really. All it takes is a bit of imagination.
Saying that though, I do wish it were Molly in Season Two rather than Jane. As they were the same character anyway. At least that would show that tell-tale were trying to tie the loose ends up.
Molly, i would've loved to see her character develope. Jane had a "character" but i found it lame. I get that some people only care about themselves, like to manipulate etc. but i don't think those are good things so i don't like that they made of her a good joinment to the group. It doesn't make sense, she likes to be alone and than suddenly leaves and goes and says to Clem she can't be alone. Souds like bipolar disorder, actually worse.
This thread is good to you and "Clem's journey through puberty in S3" isn't...Strange sense of sensibility.
both terribly written characters, no neither
Depends what you mean by "better" and I don't really like either, however if I had to choose I would say Molly.
She doesn't "like" being alone, that was just how she coped after losing her sister, as the pain of losing someone she cared about again was too great to bare. Then when she left this group she realised she cared for - or at least felt it necessary - to be with Clem, and that it's better to help and be with someone whilst they are still alive regardless of the potential pain of loss, rather than not be there at all.

Probably shouldn't say that...
Why it was only directed at Everyone'sClemInTime and his sarcasm is just rude.
I know it was but you could get banned for that, just trying to help.
Why no threats were made and I didn't verbally abuse him.
Golden's right, no matter how rude someone is, you should not fire back at them, just flag them and be on your merry way.
Look i'm not an abusive person, I just got annoyed by his sarcastic comment, i'm sure you understand.
I understand, I just wanted to warn you that you can't do that...
Anyway she does changes her mind in a matter of minutes. Maybe that is her way to cope with the loss of her sister but as i understood it she thinks it is the only way to survive, she said it herself that not trusting anyone is how you survive.
I really don't like starting debates, you have your opinion, i have mine.
Really? Right off the bat you've lost all momentum in your "argument." Resorting to passive aggressive slandering, good job.
Yes, truly. Asking who's better for the... what? Seventeenth time in the past month is extremely riveting and a breath of fresh air.
Don't make me laugh.
At least that thread has interesting conversation that can be found. Asking who's "the better character" for the hundredth time is old and stale.
Because I'm tired of seeing it and I wanted to put in my two cents. Or, could it be I was expecting some well articulated sentences about the overall ridiculous nature of these "Jane versus Molly" threads?
I will bother, all I want. You don't bother posting pseudo intellectual rubbish that only try's to passive aggressively wave your preverbal fist at another user in a vein attempt to start a fight.
Either way, thanks a million for the laugh. I bid you adieu.
Thanks, that was the exact reaction I was going for and you took the bait in fine style.
Thanks and i'll be sure to keep that in mind.
Is that why your on this forum to get a reaction from people who don't like sarcastic and rude comments.
As I recall, she left at night and came back the next day. Could be wrong on that though. However, she was spurred to come back by hearing the gunshots and realising that Clem was in immediate danger.
That's how she coped with her sisters death so that she wouldn't have to deal with the loss of a family member/friend again. In the end though she comes back and reunites with Clem, so she is shown to have made it past those thoughts (or at least taken the first step). That is her character arc.
If you actually posted that just to bait him, then you need to clean up that childish behavior.
Well, generally, when dealing with immature people who compare me to a female dog. It's always funny to loosen their screws a bit.
Ok. I am sorry.
Molly was a little too cliche for my liking. Jane seemed more personable.
I guess that makes you extremely mature then, baiting people with sarcasm.
Molly, she had more character development.
More so than people that resort to name-calling.
For what?
Why don't we just agree that both of us were immature and that we should both draw a line and discontinue this petty arguement, no hard feelings?
i don't know. Just not in a debate mood since thia thread is about molly or jane and all you talk about is jane jane jane
Molly. It looked like she was more humane. And she also didn't mention her sister in every way possible.
Molly by far.
Jane is just a cold-hearted rehashed version of her. Same backstory besides the different way their sisters died.
i like both, though i found jane to be more of an interesting character than her. with the amount of time we were around her, there wasn't really much to go on with molly aside from her being a badass and her sister dying because of crawford's ways. jane was more dimensional and realistic to me in the fact that she was self-conflicting in what she needed to do to survive. examples being wanting to steal from arvo and regretting holding him up in the first place, her talk with clem about how it's best to be off on your own then clem meeting up with her later and being greeted by 'sometimes it's good to have someone watching your back' (or something along those lines). most people would probably find her a hypocrite for reacting in those ways, but i see more like as her conflicting with her morality v.s what she thinks is best to do in order to survive. this was probably longer than it needed to be but oh well.
If I had to pick I prefer Jane. I enjoyed and was very interested in her stories of her younger self and Telltale really wanted to make the point that she could not get over sister. She was a flawed character in her own right which made her feel more realistic to me, but she also knew what she was doing in order to survive the zombie-apocalypse. Don't get me wrong I like Molly, but not enough screen time to make me really appreciate her.
I like them both and found them both interesting in their own ways, but definitely Molly.
It's not even so much the fact that she "cared" about other survivors (I'm not sure how entirely accurate that is, because if Clem hadn't been there I do genuinely think she would have left Lee and Kenny on their own). It's more how adamant she was about being against what Crawford stood for, whereas Jane sort of unwittingly embraced that mindset. As someone who was deeply bothered by Sarah's fate, I can't help but feel as though Molly would have been a lot more determined towards ensuring she was alive than Jane was. She fought tooth and nail to try and keep her sister alive and despite doing everything she could, she still felt guilty.
Molly was secretive, but not in a way where she lied to manipulate anyone. While I can totally see her turning on Kenny, I can't imagine her ever pulling that stunt with AJ. She genuinely cared about kids. And aside from being frighteningly manipulative, it was a pretty selfish act, on Jane's part. The fact Molly elected to give up her place on the boat shows selflessness. And the fact that she left even though she had startde to care about Lee and Clementine was an illustration of her resilience; when they both choose to leave at the end of their respective episode fours, Jane and Molly both do it because they were worried about getting attached and losing people again. Molly stayed away. Jane gave into temptation, and while it did save the group from the Russians, it also led to the gorey end of episode 5.
Wow sorry this just kind of turned into a Molly praise post.
I have to saaaay Jane actually if Molly was reintroduced at any point in the second season then yeah but jane seem to be more idk just there i guess?
