Did you feel bad for The Stranger?
I know kidnapping Clementine and trying to brain wash her was sick but it was only due to the loss of his family. Sick people aren't always evil people. I think he was just depressed and lashing out to anyone who would listen. The difference between him and Carver is that Carver utilized it to shield himself and turned it into cruelty. Stranger was a mess and you could tell by looking at him, he had nothing to hide.

Nah I was very happy when I killed him he was nuts.
I had no problem with choking him out and leaving his body to reanimate as a perpetually tormented and mindless husk, condemned to slowly rot and hunger miserably for a salvation that will never come.
It was cool.
Yes. Clementine ended up shooting him because I couldn't bring myself to actually strangle the guy to death.
So you made a little girl kill him instead. Nice work...
In some cases, like The Stranger's, it's a better fate to be dead than alive and miserable. It's terrible for anyone to be so unhappy to point in which they'd feel better dead but I think this was true in The Stranger's case, he had nothing left and Clementine was just him resisting what he had to have known to be true.
I am an expert at this game
I mean, I wasn't expecting Clementine to shoot him, I just thought I'd end up killing him differently. Kind of like how Andy gets an alternate death if you don't punch him.
No, and in Clem's words in season 2 of ep 1, "bad things happen to everyone". Not an excuse.
I had more empathy for the stranger than what i did forJane i can tell you that much.
No fucking way did I have sympathy for him. He lied to her and kidnapped her, which caused Lee to get bit. I don't care if he lost his family, it's his fault in the first place.
I felt bad, I choked him out because I didnt know if I stopped if he would attack, and it looks like he does. So I killed him because I was scared of him I guess :P
That's debatable. Some would say Kenny is responsible for their deaths
I did.
He basically represents how the general people would react in a zombie apocalypse, and how one little innocent mistake would end up brining their downfall. Wouldn't we want to get even with the thief that ruined your life, indirectly got your family killed, and took away everything you had and not care how they were dooming someone else? Sure it was his fault to begin with by leaving the car alone in a panic, but mistakes happen, and he ended up paying for the consequences beyond the norm because the thieves got greedy and took more than they needed.
He does lie to a little child about her parents and kidnaps her, but in his head he wanted to keep the only innocence in the world full of walkers away from the people who had no qualms with murder and thieving. It was twisted, but not entirely heinous.
Obviously, for the same way I feel bad for Lilly, Kenny and Arvo.
But he lost his son hunting, causing his wife to distrust him. He already said that her look when he didn't come back with him was, "You are a monster." And another thing, I'm expected to trust him to take care of Clem when he himself admitted to me he lost his own son while hunting. No fucking way, so once again, my answer is no and it's his own damn fault.
Slightly, i feel like his journey into madness wasn't his fault at all, and he and his family may have even made good members of the group if they had all met differently
Not at all. I usually tell him "You fucked up." My Lee always strangles him.
No terrible weak selfish freak of an individual i'm glad hes dead more out of literally everyone living or dead
No he deserved death.
Your name..
I did feel bad for his circumstances. Our group was the cause of him losing his family and then his mind.
Haha, Cercei is that you?
Yeah what about it?
Who is Cersei?
It's an odd choice of username. It's almost as if you want people to challenge you on that one particular view you have.
I certainly did.
He wasn't much different from Kenny, Lee, or Lily, as someone who lost everything and went kind of nuts, even though what he was doing was petty and risky, I understood his viewpoint in some ways, even if it was a little twisted.
I'm not challenging anyone but I see your point. Well this is my username and I like it.
From Game of Thrones
Nope with my PTSD that is pretty much impossible.
Fuck him.
I haven't heard about this show. Is it any good? Does it have incest?
it isnt really a show for everyone, and yes theres a decent amount of incest
None of this 'no' bullshit that's too weak
FUCK NO, I don't feel bad for him in any way shape or form, he manipulated Clem, lied to her then tied her up in a fucking room.. Lee found out she was gone and got fucking bit because of it, Kenny supposedly died from it which made my heart drop. Then he had the audacity to ask if he could look after Clementine after he lost his son hunting, and lost his wifes and daughters trust which led to their deaths and he expects me to say "yeah you can look after Clem while I just slowly turn into a walker..?" NO, and WHEN you say no he says, "think about it Lee." Yes let me think about you, a person who kidnapped a 9 year old and then points a gun at her father figure and says 'let me take care of her.' This crazy fuck thinks that me leaving a 9 year old home alone with a sick person only days after teaching her how to shoot with no traingin between those days is better than coming with her father figure, with someone to protect her if needed be and her be safe with other people and not just a gun with however bullets was in there.. THIS person does not know whats best for her in anyway shape or form, I would rather give her to Vernon than give her to you, atleast he had children, but he lost them to the Zombies, not because he lost them while they were hunting then the wife took the other one away from him because they couldn't trust him anymore...
I got Clementine to stab him with my machete I wanted him to have so much pain, I didn't shoot him in the head because I wanted him to reanimate into a walker, and not straight to death no, he is reanimating like it or not. I wanted to teabag I was literally screaming at my monitor with tears coming out of eyes I was so angry at this guy, i wanted to literally climb through my monitor and punch him to death and then teabag him.
End of the day my answer is NO I did not feel any sympathy for this guy I did not feel sorry for this guy, I did not feel bad for him I wanted him to burn in hell.
Have a nice day
A small part of me did, he just couldn't deal with the loss of his family, which is understandable. But there was no way I would have just let him walk away if I was given the choice, knowing that he would just go back for clementine.
Did you feel bad for The Stranger?
Not a single bit.. There would be literally millions of sad stories just like his, everyone Lee and Clem met had their own sad story. The difference is how they deal with it and the kind of person they become.
He kidnapped our Clem, he was going to kill Lee, he was so far gone he kept his wife's severed head in a bag. Nope, no good would have come out of him and killing him really did just end his misery.
Yeah,of course his actions were bad but he lost his family and was just trying to deal with it.
By manipulating and then eventually kidnapping a 9 year old? Ok.
Holy fucking shit!!! I've never seen a post I agree so much with. Bravo, and beautifully explained too!
Exactly, and I think this is something people forget. It's the zombie fucking apocalypse, of course tragedies are going to be a natural result of that. Literally, everyone has lost people they love, that doesn't give people the right to go and make other people's lives miserable. Kenny lost his son, it doesn't mean I'm not gonna think he's a psycho cunt if he kidnapped someone else's child and lied to them about their parents being alive. If everyone behaved like The Stranger after they lost someone, the world in The Walking Dead would be even more shitty than it is already despite how hard that is to imagine.
Finding your wife and daughter as road kill doesn't make it any easier. Don't be insensitive.
The fuck am I being insensitive? It still doesn't justify his actions so I don't feel sorry for him. End of.
Yeah, but when he kidnapped Clementine, I didn't feel bad for him anymore
