Who else has made Wellington their canon ending to Season 2 ?
Due to how garbage the flashbacks were in New Frontier, who went back and stayed at Wellington ? My new canon is that Clem wanted to go with Kenny, yet he knows that AJ won't make it much longer without real care and Kenny worries about Clem, so he tells the woman to send guards out to drag Clem inside the place, as he is crying as she is dragged off, kicking and screaming. The Wellington ending also explains the New Frontier more and gives fans the hope that Jane or Kenny are still out there somewhere.

My canon ending WAS Wellington. First time I played I got that. I am happy with my flashback and I got a cool scar out of it. Kenny is still alive somewhere and Jane is dead. Best ending is Wellington
All flashbacks are garbage my sweet
I know but I was too attached to Kenny at this point, lol, I still am.
Even someone that likes Jane (though I hated her) could see that she'd want Clem to stay at Wellington. She could tell Clem that she has been having nightmares lately of her not being there to save Jamie and that she doesn't want to lose Clem in the same way. So she tells the guards to drag her inside Wellington.
All around it is the best canon ending due to New Frontier is a continuation of Season 2.
Nope. The Clem alone either in wellington or not is THE canon ending for TTG. With either Jane or Kenny were just fan service and not supposed to be an indication of how season 3 would play out.
I never go back and redo my choices. My canon ending to Season 2 is still Jane Ending.
I just looked that flashback up and wow...thanks for nothing, Jane.
It was always my canon ending. I really wanted to go back and change it but I suspected something lame like that would happen so I stuck with it.
You're welcome, Kenny. Enjoy walking.
I never change my choices on a playthrough but for the first time i damn well changed it to make myself feel better after that fucking shit flashback i got. My ending was changed to stay in Wellington now because despite the fact that it doesn't matter for shit, i can now be glad with the hope that Kenny is alive somewhere surviving instead of the utter crap we got in the flashbacks
I chose Wellington. I truly feel that's the best flashback (or well the least bad one) of them all.
Wellington was the best ending for Kenny. Completely in character.
Also at least the only ending where (until now) Telltale won't force me into an unrealistic death. My Kenny went alone, and is MIA. I can live with that.
I never change my choices either cause my gut is always right when I make these decisions in these games. Yet here's why I left with Kenny at the time.
I thought that this would be the ending to Clem's story arc. As a writer I knew that the various endings would leave little room for a continuation were our choices mattered. I knew that there would be another Walking Dead game one day, yet I predicted that it would be more like 400 Days were we played as a new character.
I love Kenny and he never had let me down in two seasons. He was my adopted uncle that would always be there for me. I felt that a good conclusion would be to stay with Kenny.
Wellington was crowded and Clem would be a stranger there alone.
Those flashbacks were really bad and felt unsatisfying so I went back and made up my own Wellington ending as posted. I agree with my fellow Kenny fans as it is the best ending for Kenny compared to the alternative.
We Kenny fans think alike. I agree with that now cause Kenny is a boss.
He's dead.

It's not Canon. It may be the default ending but there is no "Canon" ending.
Well unlike most I actually enjoyed the flashbacks. So no I won't be switching to Wellington. I actually ended up with Jane and let the family in.
...And who exactly confirmed that?
Me
It is the canon ending as it was the ending TTG pushed us toward.
Let Jane die. Kill Kenny? Or abandon Kenny at the truck stop or at Wellington.
Let Kenny die and abandon Jane.
Every other choice at the end of season 2 was Clem alone in some variation and considering how they put no effort into our choices in season 3, and considering how Clem acts in the alone ending choice is the exact same way she acts in the with Kenny or Jane ending choice come season 3, the Clem alone in some variation IS the preferred TTG ending, the one they wanted to choose, the one they originally planned to go with, the one they wanted US to choose, hence why they gave us so many options. Considering how there is no personality change in Clem from as you say the default ending. Clem alone is the preferred, the canon, ending. The other choices, the Wellington, the Jane, the Kenny choices were NEVER intended to be carried into season 3 because they wanted Clem alone.
And to show you how little effort they put into those 5 MINTUTE FLASHBACKS, consider no matter what your ending choice was. You still end up in the same place as where Kenny died in his season 3 rush job. The same car is there too.
There is no canon ending, it's as simple as that. If the game shows that the different endings happened then they did. No amount of explaining can disprove that. It's in the game.
I did on my first run but on a second save file I have Clementine kill Kenny and leave Jane. The Wellington ending is such a "happy" ending while the alone ending in the fashion I described is a more dark and fitting ending for The Walking Dead.
I didn't change my save. I did something better: sent my game back to the store.
Canon ending. Every other choice they pushed us toward it. They had no interest in following through on our choices. They included the other endings because they have to pretend our choices effect the game, which they don't.
Also, as the Clem alone is the default ending, and Clem ends up alone no matter what and acts no different regardless, then we can see, the canon ending, the one TTG preferred was Clem alone.
Canon ending is the ending you got the first time!!!
I see that's some say "I don't wanna cheat". I look at it this way, I call it getting even. I take story games very seriously.
It was the choice I made. At that time I was taking choices that was most logical for living out a zombie apocalypse, if Kenny was offering to sacrifice himself for me then I would take it especially when you consider the conditions of a child taking care of another child in a zombie apocalypse this seemed like the most logical choice. Plus it sort of makes Kenny out to be a hero. I made it a mission to grab his hat as one of my provisions before leaving Wellington that's the least I could do for him. And I didn't know that Kenny does die if you go with him so I guess my decision could entail that Kenny could or could not have died, that question is still there.
This is mainly why I chose to stay when I found out that Clem's story arc was continuing a few years later. Kenny is my favorite character of the series. My friend and I look at how people view Kenny and we've come to the conclusion that most are racist to him and call him a redneck cause of his accent.
They never have interest in following through with our choices, that's not exactly news. By those standards, I could say helping Kenny kill Larry is canon because Lilly leaves you regardless. I could say that killing Ben, letting Sarah die and not sticking up for Nick to Walter are canon because we all know what happens to determinant characters. And so what if Telltale did prefer that we got the Alone ending? A good portion of us didn't, and they tweaked the outcome of our endings so that we ended up alone anyway. Because we end up alone doesn't mean we had to start out that way. There's no "canon" ending if our other endings impact Season 3 in some way. They do, they change the flashbacks.
Oh wow. Our choices matter! Our going with Kenny or with Jane totally impact season 3 because Clem gets a scar. TTG totally listened. Who cares that they got rid of Kenny and Jane and Wellington, or put little effort into the flashbacks, only created 1 new location for them, and they lasted 5 minutes. Our choices mattered because scars.
And it's not what if it's TTG DID prefer the alone ending. Why do you think they kept pushing the alone choice in season 2.
They didn't push an alone choice on you in Season 2 actually, I'm not sure what you're referring to. Those scars mean their endings happened, meaning to some players that ending is canon for their game. There is no canon ending that spans across everyone's games, I don't know how I can say it clearer.
Let Kenny kill Jane. Shoot Kenny in the head? Abandon Kenny? Abandon Kenny at Wellington.
Let Jane kill Kenny, abandon Jane.
Yeah, they're not pushing the alone ending.
Leaving Kenny at Wellington is the Wellington ending, not the Alone one. You have three ways to get the Alone ending, that's actually not significant because in Jane and Kenny's you get another choice. For the Alone ending to be canon, Clementine would have to completely disregard the fact that she was separated from Kenny and Jane in her flashbacks. If the endings are apparent, there is no canon one. It's as simple as that, I don't see how you can possibly argue that fact.
In my endings, I always would help Kenny kill Jane, then I'd leave with him at Wellington. My best ending is to stay at Wellington and let Kenny go off on his own.
Theoretically someone could do the same with Jane for the best ending.
Yeah, Telltale was definitely thorough with their Season 2 endings.
Canon or default because Clementine's personality is the default personality of the alone ending, regardless of our choices in staying with Kenny. I can't take you seriously when you say TTG thought through their endings when they didn't it was a rush job with little effort put into them.
The alone ending is the default/canon ending because that is how she acts in all scenarios. She has a uniform personality that does not change according to whether or not we go with Kenny or Wellington or Jane. Thus, as the alone ending is the default beginning of season 3, then it is the canon ending, as it is the only choice which has impact on the game as it is the only personality of Clem we get.
It's my ending, and yeah maybe Kenny's alive in that somewhere although I somewhat doubt it...
And this brings us full circle. Regardless of how she acts her scars or tattoo signify that her ending and flashback did happen. Each ending will give Clementine a different dialogue in Part 2. She will either say that you should never trust people, or that most people never change.
The Alone ending is the default beginning if you don't choose any other ending, they could have literally used any ending and it would've flowed the same. They most likely used the Alone ending for the default one because new players wouldn't have known who or what Kenny, Jane, or Wellington were. Their demises would have carried little weight.
How can you tell me the highly emotional Kenny endings had little thought to them?
You're arguing against a fact that is readily apparent in the game. I can't make this any simpler, if the other endings can happen, then no ending is canon. You're trying to tell me that even though I left Clementine with Wellington, and the flashback showed Wellington falling, she still experienced a different ending and a different flashback.
Huh? I thought you get the scar if you choose to go with Kenny. My Clem stayed at Wellington and has no scar as far as I know.
I'm on about the flashbacks. The season 3 flashbacks had no thought in them. They were five minute rush jobs. I never once said they didn't put any thought into the Kenny endings. The flashbacks yes. The end of season 2. No.
And wow, her dialogue changes. She's totally different in every playthrough. Dialogue is effected but nothing else, not her personality, nothing.
Also, their demises held little weight anyway because of how rushed they were.
Cannon and true ending: Kenny is off somewhere on a boat with clem fishing
It was probably due to there being different writers and that's why there were different endings. The writers probably rushed to get the final episode done.
The main point is now that there is a season 3, that the canon ending to be Wellington.
