Have you noticed that all the females are strong and brave?
I cant remember any females in the walking dead (besides Sofia,and the rest of the little girls) that are just damsels in distress! Every Female is strong,Brave and can stand on her own EDIT: Talking bout tv show

yeah, look what happened to Sofia? Woman are expected to be damsels, but they gotta show strong, positive images of woman! because woman can hold their own
Nvm
Well...Sarah.
Yep Sarah.
One could argue that Jessie is one but yeah.
I really don't care though. Only thing I want to see is a woman antagonist.
People would make a big deal if there was a woman antagonist
Tavia?
There already has been.
Rebecca gives you opportunities to fulfill some of your 'save the damsel in distress' fantasies in episode 4.
But the reason there aren't many weak women left is the same as the reason there aren't many weak men left.
Its two years into the apocalypse and most weak people have already died.
There are already consistently twice as many male characters as female characters in TWD so Telltale are already representing the damsel shit. Or they're just sexist. Or both, but yeah.
Points to Bonnie, Rebecca, Beth, Andrea, Lori, Mika, and Stoner Dudes Hippy GF. Totally not wimpy. XD I also didn't include Sofia because of the comics, and Lizzie because...
She's lizzie.
Yes, because this isn't Super Mario. Your princess is in another castle.
Also, what Katjaa has done might be considered as weak by some people. I think she was both, brave and weak.
Comic Carol and comic Jessie are a bit on the meek side
All those types are almost gone you have to be tough if you want to live in the Z.A. kids too.
I was thinking Brenda St. John, not sure if she counts though.
Totally forgot about her.
I always thought Andy was the main of the 3 though.
Why? She seems to be the head with the boys doing her dirtywork.
She's not really an antagonist though.
How isn't she one?
How is she one?
Being apart of Carver's camp does not make everyone in it antagonists. Would you consider Wyatt an antagonist if he was in it?
Well, Andy has the final fight, it wouldn't make sense for the main guy to go down first, would it? He gets more screen time than Brenda, not sure about Danny, and his character is fleshed out a bit (no pun intended), which main antagonists are usually developed.
I've always thought this opinion of it.
Her attitude is far ruder, consistently, and she appears a high up person within the camp, thus must be supporting Carver's message.
Rude does not equal antagonist.
Supporting or enacting? Troy clearly enacts Carver's will. Tavia is saddened at Reggie's death. If we go by the logic that everyone in Carver's group is bad, than Bonnie in her Episode 3 form can be considered so, yes?
She doesn't do enough bad stuff to really be considered an antagonist. If she hit Clem or someone she would be a contender, but her actions just don't show enough to prove that she is an antagonist.
What @Strat-rocker said. I can't imagine any more damsels in distress considering how far we are in the zombie apocalypse. The weak willed of both women and men alike are killed off during the beggining and only the strong survive or the lucky...real lucky.
Btw I always thought Rebecca would have been an amazing character/survivor if she wasn't pregnant.
Depends on your perspective i guess, I could argue Jane is a antagonist, as easily as Kenny.
REALISM
Do you guys even know what antagonist means?
I don't exactly see Tavia actively opposing Clementine or being hostile. Rude, sure. Not hostile.
That's exactly what I just said.
Nope a antagonist is somebody in a story who is against the main character good or bad
The antagonist doesnt have to be evil. In a story with robbers being the protagonist the cops would be antagonist
But does Tavia actively oppose Clementine?
If she does than yes, she is an antagonist.
Oh yea, sorry
I don't think that Rebecca's pregnancy would have stopped her from contributing to the group in some way. She had a gun with her in Episode 4, and being pregnant doesn't mean she can't pull the trigger and the recoil won't necessarily harm the baby even at that stage.
Hell, perhaps Rebecca should have been the one to bash Carver's face in with a crowbar in Episode 3, not Kenny, given that she had one of the biggest reason to want him dead compared to most characters.
It's a pity that the writers didn't give Rebecca much of a character other than being a brash pregnant woman.
All have varying degrees of antagonism. I've probably forgot some.
Oh, I forgot about all of them
Me too.
I was referring to the game mostly. I know where the show's going and I'm happy with their plans.
Fucking Michelle. I wish she got shot a lot more.
I agree. She could have been a phenomenal character. Thing is though what you say could have been done, but it just didn't happen. The pregnancy thing was just her character and that left me thinking that if she wasn't pregnant, Rebecca could have been through a different character arc. Like you said more involved, but I think it was the pregnancy thing was in the way.
Okay, that sexist comment was uncalled for.
Katjaa
Sarita
Sarah
Molly's Sister
Dee
That's naming a few.
Sarita and Sarah?
Ok...? Are we really still at the day and age where we can't have strong female characters without feeling the need to bring it up?
