    Pretty much every line kenny said in that episode was gold.

    "I don't know what the fuck you're sayin', but I know it's bullshit!"

    The quote you just said.

    "What you gonna do? TELL ON ME?"

    "Go on now.... you don't need to see this..."

    I've seen my fair share of Kenny haters that have transitioned over to liking him now in Episode 3. His self-sacrifice for Clementine was also rather heroic. Seen a flare of Lee when he done that action.

    Because of the quotables. "I'm gonna punch the first son of bitch I see, then I'm gonna grab his gun and shoot the next son of a bitch I see"

  • I Can't imagine the Walking Dead without him now,his character adds so much to scenes,he just has so much life and personality that it rubs people the right way.He is a family man who would rather die fighting for they're freedom and himself be sacrificed,his voice acting is so well done it's hard to believe it's not a real person come to life.
  • Yes and no

  • To be fair, Kenny wasn't exactly himself then. He was still grieving over Katjaa and Duck, and the last thing he had going for him was getting a boat which was what he had planned to do with Katjaa and Duck. That not working out for him sent him over the edge, so he wasn't thinking about anyone's best interest/safety at that time, not even his own.

    I would agree that Kenny has Clementine's back, but only when things are going his way. Season 1 when Kenny and Lee discover there are no boats, Kenny goes back to the house and gets drunk with no concern for where Clem is or whether she is safe.

  • yeah i like Kenny too now, I clicked on this thread after it somehow came back to life and i realised i started it xD but yeah i like Kenny now and i can appreciate that him and Nick seem to get a long better now

  • Even though Kenny makes rash decisions I still feel safe with them, like Kenny is pretty tough and doesn't really get scared so i trust him and his plans

    Kenny is definitely not the most morally good character in the game by all means. Personally, I've always been more on Kenny's side because

  • Can you explain why you like Nick?
  • Because he's Kenny.
  • As opposed to chaotic good or chaotic evil because.....? I'm just wondering what your reasoning is, I saw a meme earlier that casted him as chaotic good.

    I've said this before, but Kenny is a "chaotic neutral" character. Seeing him as a definite good is not a healthy thing, especially after all the messed up shit he's done.

  • Because he nearly accidentally killed Clem the first time we met him, then didn't help me and uncle Pete at the river and then killed a nice innocent man that was going to help us...oh no wait, that are the resons why i don't like him.

    Nick is a really nice guy to and you cannot blame him for trying to save a little girl and his best friend when he thought they were being held up.

  • lol the same with Kenny he is a flawed man but people still like him.

  • Kenny might be a flawed man, but he is a loyal Bro and loving caretaker of his family and Clem. He is nothing alike Nick.

  • Because he's a pretty morally ambiguous character, as a matter of fact he reminds me a bit of Travis Bickle (from Taxi Driver.) You could argue that what he did to Larry or Carver were completely justifiable, and your opinion would be justifiable. You could also argue the opposite and still be justifiable in your opinion.

    Personally, I think what he did to Larry and Carver was less than justifiable. On the other hand, I applauded Travis for his actions. So, what do I know? Morallity is purely a reflective trait and something that differs from person to person.

  • See that nail over there? You just hit it on the head. I got real sick of babysitting Kenny rather early on. Cooler heads are needed in a terrible situation, not trigger happy dimwits.

    Well, I for one don't understand why people love Kenny so much either. So I don't think this is a troll thread, and I'm curious to know wha

    I guess he kinda is the closest person Clem know now who can be a father figure.

  • Spot on. It would be one thing if Kenny was ONLY stupid or ONLY trigger-infolhappy or ONLY an immature jerk or ONLY self centered. Put all those together and you have a bunch of awful decisions that lead to good people getting killed and possible allies being soured right out of the gate. So many times throughout the game I thought to myself "Ok, maybe THIS is the part where I can cut loose this sack of bricks that's been weighing us down!"

    How do you propose to kick Kenny's butt when you're playing as a little girl?

    You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. My big thing about the "Kenny's family just died" thing only hold up (a tiny tint bit) for some of his actions, but it does not affect the fact that he is dumb, irrational and a bigot.

  • Spot on. A liability that I could not wait to rid myself of. At so many moments during the game I hoped hoped HOPED that I had seen the last of him or he would turn up dead. Eff that guy.

    Never did like Kenny and never will like Kenny. He's nothing more than an ignorant liability. In real life, you wouldn't want a person like

  • I like Kenny for a multitude of reasons.

    While I am not oblivious to why people may NOT like him, I've always been on his side and thus he's been loyal to me since the start. I saved Duck, he gave me a ride to Macon. I defended Duck at the drug store, he saved my life after Larry punched me in the face and left me to get eaten. In Episode 2, I assisted him in putting down Larry, and he offered me and Clem a spot in the RV. I supported the Boat plan, and put Duck down so he didn't have too. He helped us in Crawford, and wouldn't let me go search for Clem alone, saying I've always been there for him, and it didn't matter if I was bitten or not, he'd stick with me until the end. I'm aware that Kenny and Ben had major differences and Kenny hated his guts, but in my playthrough, Kenny forgave Ben and put him down so he wouldn't have to face his fear of getting eaten. Season 2, in a nutshell, Kenny was ALWAYS backing me up. He took the blame for the radio, getting beaten nearly to death and so many other instances. And let's not forget, Kenny was willing to give up his survival just so Clem and Aj could stay at Wellington. Hate him or not, that WAS selfless and a sacrifice, I didn't stay at Wellington, but I firmly believe Kenny is a great man, and a man that has stayed by my side this entire time. In my eyes, a hero.

  • I'm a Kenny fan, but he can be REALLY annoying. No matter how many times you've been there for him, if you disagree with him on the tiniest thing, he'll push you away and bring it up for the rest of your life.

    I don't hate Kenny but I don't love him either, his whole boat plan is stupid from the start but try telling him that. Kenny is only nice to
