Why are people saying Christa or Mike will be S3's protagonist?

I don't get it. Its very popular speculation but just... why

    Because you can't speculate on a new character as they aren't there, so if you think Clem isn't going to be the protagonist or you'd like to see a new protagonist I'd guess you'd think of a familiar character (that isn't dead/could die) and theorize from there.

  • i have never heard one person say anything about mike being the protagonist i have only heard people say he might turn up in season 3 but i have heard people say that they want christa it would make sense considering we don't know what happened to her

  • I've never heard this before.
    But it's a completely ridiculous idea.

  • Crista is dead you can see her body she is by the river where the massacre is (where you get to choose whether or not to give the dying man water) even if you look at her body clem doesn't take it on board she keeps saying she needs to find her and even asks at the end if shes in the stronghold. This is pretty annoying because she knows that shes dead for sure. If you want to see her you have to check the corpses around the river area before approaching the dying man, it might take a few tries because I think its either timed or to do with the number of things you look at but straight after looking at her body clem can still ask the dying man where crista is WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOUT! I played on ps4 by the way It might be a bug that she doesn't take it in that cristas dead.

    that isn't her you would think if it was her it would have been made more obvious and if it was then telltale would have pointed it out to us instead whenever they were asked about christa

  • Because they are idiots ( Don't be offended if you want Christa or Mike as Protagonist in S3, because it's true ), because Christa was dead off screen, and Mike is a minor character. For who don't believe about Christa death: you can hear the murmur of pain and then the shot... Oww, she is too much fast and ran from a bullet. Okay people... okay.

  • It looks exactly like her. It would make more sense if it is than if it isnt because where this bit is. Telltale aren't as consistant as they could be with some things to do with story so maybe it was her then they changed their minds before release and made the model slightly different. I dunno...

  • For me, it is what it looks like. Play episode one, and tell me what you hear. I listen a pain mumble ( Christa ), and then a shot... Death off screen is so sad.

    it was never her and she does not even look like her

    telltale would not have made clem ask about her throughout the whole season if that was her

  • mike and bonnie pretty much were given plot armor [ yes in the ps3 version you could kill them but that was a mistake and taken out] so they could be in season 3. heck bonnie was the only 400 days chracter who joined no matter what you did. christa is dead in my view unless shown other wise.

  • You can actually kill Bonnie in every version, so she's determinant, Mike's death is the only one that was taken out.

  • You're definitely right about the plot armor that was way out of control

  • Hopefully not

  • Mmm...maybe mike could be the protagonist,or even worse..arvo becomes the protagonist..but maybe it could be interesting seeing what ppl like christa,mike,bonnie,arvo doing after season 2,maybe arvo leaves mike,bonnie?i dunno but i think its kinda interesting

  • I think it's meant to placate the people who keep saying Clem shouldn't be the protagonist for S3.

  • Both Kenny and Christa miraculously reappearing? Once was bad enough.

  • I hate Christa i hope they keep her dead. If they bring her back its Kenny 2.0.

  • She's not dead just wait and see :'(

  • I hope Mike isn't :/

    Christa as playable character? Nah, I want to stick with Clem!

  • I wouldn't say I hate her (I do dislike her, but hate's too strong), but I'm with you that they shouldn't bring her back at all. If they do to her what they did to Kenny, it becomes way too unrealistic and just wouldn't make any sense at all.

  • I'm all for Christa being the protag, just not really Mike.

    Screw Mike.

  • What about Kenny? It looked like he was dead for sure in season 1. I wouldn't give up on Christa.

    lol it's not as bad as the people saying Arvo will be protag

    Telltale would be digging their grave

    I'm so down with Christa being protagonist though, that'd be great.

  • lol it's not as bad as the people saying Arvo will be protag Telltale would be digging their grave I'm so down with Christa being protagonist though, that'd be great.

  • But Christa was headed to Wellington, and Kenny was headed there too. They could meet up there.

  • Kenny came back, and there were just as many fans who loved his return as fans who hated it. Let it go, man.

  • Mike was completely devoid of interesting personality traits right up until the time he stole all the supplies and left a little girl to die with the guy who tried to murder the whole group because Kenny was being a big meanie.

  • Christa is confirmed not dead. She is Unknown. Understand that in TWDG, a character cannot die off-screen and be confirmed dead.

    Cough Vernon and Boyd Cough

    Christa is confirmed not dead. She is Unknown. Understand that in TWDG, a character cannot die off-screen and be confirmed dead.

  • There are some contradictions with Vernon . TWD wiki says hes staus is "dead" but later they say this:
    "It is not known whether Vernon is actually dead, or if he abandoned his group after the stealing of the boat."
    Boyd status is determinant.

  • I'd welcome Christa back and have her as the playable character, while we have Clementine as the deuteragonist again.

    I feel that Clementine didn't work as a playable character due to the many times that her role in Season 2 lacked presence in the story due to be a child, and when she does become involved at the behest of the group she becomes hyper-competent to the point where it breaks my immersion in the story. Her role in Episode 1 and 2 were very believable and well done, but after Telltale ditched the writing direction in Episode 3 and onwards, I found myself feeling uninterested in Clementine as a playable character, especially since she has no actual story of her own and ended up taking the backseat for Kenny and Jane's story, not to mention that her pre-defined personality from Season 1 ended up being discarded and have her new personality match up the needs of the players rather than Clementine herself.

    Having Christa return to the story would give the player the opportunity to see Clementine grow as a character without their input, especially if you were Pro-Kenny/Jane/Alone in the S2 finale, and see how it affects their relationship by having Clementine commit acts that represents who she went with in the finale. For instance, being with Kenny will make her more argumentative and hostile, while being with Jane makes her more colder and twisted in her survivor logic, and being alone makes her untrusting and paranoid.

    Christa being the lead character would also work considering the less pre-defined personality she has in comparison to Kenny and Jane, especially since it would also give us an opportunity to learn more of what happened in the time-skip to have Clementine become the girl she was in Season 2 and how she transformed from an innocent and naïve girl to a hardened and pragmatic survivor. And since we barely know much about Christa herself, it would also open up the opportunity to learn more about her backstory and how she came to meet Lee and his group with Omid.

    As for Mike, he's pretty much out of the question now considering how controversial he is now with the betrayal scene.

  • I actually like this idea but I think both are better suited to DLCs so we can find out what happened to them and keep Clem as the actual protagonist.

  • I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Arvo as the protagonist of season 3. He would be controversial, I admit that,but right now there's a lot of qualities that would make him great as a protagonist, including his conflict with Clementine and company.
    That doesn't mean to say that Christa wouldn't work as the protagonist; it's just that she seems like a bit of a tame choice next to Arvo.

    And, Mike is fine as a support character, but a bit bland to be a protagonist for a whole season.

  • I'd honestly be fine with Christa being the protagonist. Although Mike... I kinda still hate Mike over trying to steal the car with Arvo and Bonnie. So honestly I think it would be a bit awkward for me to make decisions with a character I'm holding a grudge against. But Christa I can see possibly being but what really matters is whether or not telltale thing she is already too asserted into the story with a set character.
