Frankly, taking this option out was one of the few instances of good writing in Episode 5, since basically murdering Mike was absurdly out of character for Clem.

It's already been said a few times but I THINK one of the reasons may also be the writing decisions they have for Season Three. They may want Mike to play a major role in the next season and can't have him be determinant. Heck Telltale were originally going to show Kenny's death at the end of the first season but ended up making it open-ended instead.

Mike betraying you would have made sense had Telltale actually stuck to their original plan of making him a bandit. As it is, he's a loyal and soft-hearted guy who would NEVER leave a child and baby to starve.
I think Telltale prevented you from murdering Mike so as to make the final decision between Jane and Kenny more impactful. And I think she's more justified in shooting Kenny to save someone's life than she is in murdering someone out of vengeance.
Maybe Arvo will return. One thing's likely: Bonnie will die off-screen, seeing as she's already a determinant (provided that you are spiteful enough to not actually try and rescue Luke.)
Yes, Mike was a telepath who knew that there was a zombie inside the ticket booth. Never mind that he immediately compensates for his mess-up by chokeslamming said zombie.
Arvo 'nearly' got the group killed? That's all on Buricko, the literal convicted maniac who started the gunfight. It's amazing how everyone seems to forget that. Maybe because it's easier to hate on a skinny crippled kid than on a dead man, even an obviously evil one?
I doubt it was any real concern seeing as how he was the same person that tried to make her go in a room with a walker inside and regardless Arvo nearly got the group killed including himself and he didn't see anything wrong with him holding a rifle
I don't understand your gripe about the ticket booth scene. Its really Bonnie that pushes Clem to do it, and even then you have to make the decision as her on whether or not to actually do it. If your Clementine got caught up in that dangerous situation, its only because she gave into peer pressure.

You're being intentionally oblivious. I love some characters in the series Nate, Kenny, Lily etc. But I know they have flaws. Arvo brought them there and he does it no natter what.

If I'd had the option, I would have killed Bonnie and Arvo but not Mike- I liked him, he was okay. But I suppose that'd be an impossibility.
Actually, in that position Clem should've shot the only armed person, Arvo. Then the other two wouldn't have anything to defend themselves with. Just saying
Yeah, if you didn't kill Kenny and you didn't stay in Wellington, lets hope that they skip about five years, so Clem's around 16 and is a lot harsher (and can actually fire a rifle now).
I'm starting to believe it has less to do with keeping Mike alive for season 3 possibilities, and more with the uncomfortable fact an awful … morelot of black people seem to die in TWD, both in the comic books AND the television series. After Lee, Alvin, Rebecca, and that unnamed policeman in Vince's story from 400 DAYS bit the dust, I think Telltale realized things were going a little too far.

I somehow doubt that we'll ever see Mike and Bonnie again, yet what burns me more is that Arvo got away, I wanted to get back at him for shooting Clem but I'll probably never get that satisfaction.
If anything, Season 3 will be a whole new story (there's no guarantee that Clem will even be the PC anymore). I don't think Telltale has any plans for Mike in S3, the deleted option to shoot him very much confirms that at least at the time of writing the episode they were done with his character.

What's the show?

Not really, if you have a problem with what he said you can flag him and allow a mod to take care of it. Firing back doesn't help anything.
Because bad writing that's why.

Some Syfy show, I don't remember the name
The Expanse, it's apparently a space opera.
why-did-telltale-remove-the-shoot-option
Jaden pls.
you're forgiven...

Every time i see the title I think it says shoot shit
Honestly I wish they had that option to kill him.
Good writing isn't a quality their half assed "Can I go with you" option had
It's because he's going to appear in season 3. Taking away the option is pretty clear evidence of that.
I said it was stupid not that you were stupid
Would be nice if there was an option to shoot Arvo.

fuck
Yeah, we better be able to rip open Mike and Arvo in Season 3.

You mean Wyatt, right? Cause the cop in Vince's story was white.
I'm PRETTY SURE CLEM IS WHITE.
There were two cops, the cop in Wyatt's story is one of the ones from Vince's story, he was the driver.
Oh hey, my video. I really do not like Mike and I prefer having this canon option in my canon playthrough.
You LIKE Nate and Lilly?!
I wish you had the option to shoot ARVO instead.
I looooove Nate and Lily

many, many years late, but how? She already shot Lee. It doesn't get any more special than that.
Ya know, you could've just asked this in the questions thread instead of necrobumping this.
tbh I think about this constantly
