The Walking Dead universe and car accidents...

It's quite pathetic that Kenny was killed off in a car accident that had no apparent cause.

There could have been a walker on the road to symbolise the car crash Lee experienced in season one but nope!

Sure, we can toss it up as the fact that Clem was too young to drive and that's why they crashed, but she seemed pretty capable for the forty five seconds prior to the crash and the road was as straight as my dick so there's no way she could have spun out in a turn or something.

There was no rubble on the road, the tire didn't burn out I believe so the only explaination is that she went over a slippery patch in the road like oil, which even then wouldn't cause the car to spin out unless it was turning somewhat.

Then it dawned on me, this isn't the first time a character in TWD universe crashed on a straight open road with no other cars on the road at all, Lori crashed in season 2 and created a surplus of memes due to the stupidity of the crash.

I just don't understand why the zombie apocalypse suddenly makes people drive like morons.

    Well, if you look for symbolism, metaphors or simply a logical explanation, look no further and give up.

    I'm sure TT's gathered some pieces of papers with few ideas written on them, like "bitten by a poisonous snail", "get head crushed by saltlick with the sentence karma bitch on it", "laugh yourself to death at the sight of ya own beard", "cut yourself with origami piece and bleed out", "crush a car on an empty road"; pick one of the options and then proceed to transfer it into S3.

  • I wish they atleast hit a walker for 2 reasons:

    1. It would atleast explain the fucking plot walkers that just show up to kill Kenny.
    2. Thats not how ice works. To spin out like that she would need to have been turning, and even then, they way the car was spinning is not how a car would be spinning if it were sliding on ice. It would be spinning in a 360 degree, not wildly going left and right going non stop forward.
  • There's even a dialogue option asking Kenny to take the wheel, if only he actually did then he might not be dead.

  • We still on this? It happened....Kenny is dead.

  • Yeah bro we all know how much you hate Kenny, but this thread isn't about Kennys death per say, it's about car crashes being a common and unnecessary occurrence in the walking dead universe.

    We still on this? It happened....Kenny is dead.

  • You know....they are aren't they lol.

  • The snow is tough for most adults from Georgia to drive in, they go batty over an inch down there! And that is with the DOT plowing and shit. Letting CLem drive in the snow was a recipe for disaster.

  • unless a child with no driving experience was trying to correct and overcorrect.

  • Still not how it works, if it started to spin lets say right it would continue to spin right on the ice in a 360 degree manor, even if you are turning the wheel left

  • Better than Jane's death at least

  • but like you said it was sliding not spinning.

  • But Clem wasn't driving in the snow, if you watch the scene you can clearly see it's nothing but pure tarmac.

  • After Clem started to spin out Kenny immediately grabbed the wheel, she barely had a chance to correct and over correct.

  • Plus, didn't it sound as if the tire blew out, but then when they cut back the tire is intact. I just don't get it. Make up your mind. What caused her to lose control?

  • Yeah I know, plot holes in a beloved characters death just tells us how much TellTale actually care.

  • so two people are fighting over the wheel and you still think it's implausible for there to be an accident? Clem corrects Kenny Grabs wheel overcorrects.

  • If a car slides out on ice, it loses friction, meaning if you turned the wheel, it wouldnt do anything in terms of changing direction. It would also only happen if you started to turn, which Clem did not, if she was turning on a curb, the crash would look something like this.

    enter image description here

    So now say for some odd reason Clem decided to just jerk the wheel and start to steer the wheel to the right, it would look more like this

    enter image description here

    Once, the car starts to slide, its going to slide in that direction, you cant turn out of a slide.

  • Not trying to start anything here, but:

    Jane's death made sense/was in character

    How come? Jane egoistically hanging herself does not resemble a strong survivor, who has shown extreme will of life and even the obsession about her own well-being. In the flashback she acted in complete contrast to everything she's represented in S2.

    Jane's motive was to kill Kenny in order to protect Clementine and AJ, however she abandoned both of them a couple days later in extreme irresponsibility and selfishness.

  • I agree that Kenny's death lacked any emotion, but in my opinion Jane's death was lazy
    And i'm not saying that Kenny's death was any better at all, they were both awful but Jane resembled a strong survivor who made the right choice and found how to be tough and most situations and then she killed herself due to pregnancy.
    But I completely understand the point you are making

  • I agree, also she only took one pregnancy test and presumed she was definitely pregnant which is nothing more than moronic, showing the writers clearly didn't think through the death of Kenny/Jane much at all.

  • There are those that claimed Janes death made sense as she was always truly a coward, abandoning her sister, hiding A.J in an attempt to kill Kenny so she could have Clementine having her back for the rest of her days but I never thought this. I truly believed she was a good person who just became more adapted to the world she's living in and her death was extremely uncharacteristic of her.

    I agree that Kenny's death lacked any emotion, but in my opinion Jane's death was lazy And i'm not saying that Kenny's death was any bette

  • I agree with that 100 percent. And I don't even mention Edith's death
    Lol

  • Oh god I know, what a mess.

    There was so much potential for the ends of these beloved characters but instead we got poorly written anticlimactic deaths that provide no closure and leave me feeling overly depressed.

    Yeah. I think general neglect is my biggest problem with S3 by far.

  • They just wanted to scrap the ideas of theese characters I believe i guess they want to start over with new characters. Which i can see that failure from a mile away

    I know, I just wish it happened differently but I guess all we can do is try and forgive and forget it ever happened and just appreciate we got the chance to know such great characters.

    Btw I dunno what time zone ur in but I've got school in the morning so I can't even keep my eyes open any longer.Have a good one bud,

  • That's my point exactly. You can't turn out of a slide but you can turn into it and regain control. Experienced snow drivers know this.

  • Yeah, but again there's the minor difference of not being on snow.

  • Then the real question is who is up there plowing the snow?
