  • Okay after thinking about what you said, you are right. But I'm not about to go back to Season 1 to change it.

    I just didn't want to have to kill him without being sure. I hated him for sure, but my Lee rose above that hate.

    I feel as if saving him was the good thing to do. You obviously haven't seen a revived heart attack victim before like i have in rea

  • What if it was Lee that had a heart attack? And you were Kenny making the decision? Lilly wants to revive. Larry says crush his head. Would you still crush his head without considering Clem? Who was like a daughter to him?

    No one is asking you to don't worry lol.

    I just didn't want to have to kill him without being sure. I hated him for sure, but my Lee rose above that hate.

    I understand you didn't want to kill him but have you actually pictured yourself in that situation in real life? Because sitting behind the computer is easy to make a decision but if you were there you would be pretty terrified like everyone else and because Larry would have turned at any moment in those few minutes and sometimes especially in a world like that, you have to kill to survive and keep your friends and family safe and that's what Kenny did.

    It was horrible, it was sad the way it happenened and i felt very sorry for Lilly but it was necessary to do to a guy who would have died anyway upon revival due to lack of medical care

  • How do you know? When Larry collapsed, falling to the ground in the first episode, he wasn't banging on a door, and screaming at the top of his lungs. There was a huge difference in how he reacted to the situation, which might have contributed to the negative effects that occurred. For all you know, if he had been given enough time to calm down after Lilly performed CPR, he could have lived to see another day without any further issues.

  • Without starting an argument, this isn't a true statement. Just like how what's legal isn't always ethical, what's logical isn't always moral. Therefore, the two are separate components to the same machine. They have their part to play, but the stage isn't set by one. Either way, if you're being logical about the situation, then you will morally do good to others.

    Without logic, morality wouldn't exist.

  • Whether the chances of survival were minimal or maximum, there was still a chance, that became nothing in a short amount of time by Kenny. What we must also consider is that Katjaa had medical experience, which may have come in the realms of animals more than humans, but she still had more experience than any of the others in the group. Meaning that, she could have provided or at the very least suggested what the group should do concerning Larry's heart attack. Anyway, if anything, you need "medical care", not a hospital. A hospital will do you no good if there's not reliable doctors who can provide you with the necessary medical treatment. However, if people have been miraculously cured of cancer with no traces left in their system, then I believe that a person can be revived successfully and recover fully from a heart attack.

  • I can't do it. Restraining Lilly is literally one of the most unbearable things for me to watch in the game.
    The voice actress really gave it her all in that scene, it's so painful to listen to.

  • If you chose Lilly over Kenny:

    One of the dialogue trees with Clementine (post-Larry's death) allows Lee to state, "I know it was necessary, but...I wish Clem didn't have to witness stuff like this. I worry what's it gonna do to her."

    As posted earlier in this thread, events foreshadowed what was going to occur.

  • edited May 2017

    I killed Larry mostly because I agreed with Kenny. I regretted it though because apparently if you try to help him, he takes a breath like he's alive before Kenny kills him. But it doesn't matter what you do because Larry dies no matter what, it's just matters who you agree to help at the time (Kenny or Lilly).

  • Oh hello, back to exacerbate things again eh Bonbon? Thought your ban was permanent. I guess not lol.

    How hypocrite..

    You just called someone moronic snd you gave me lecture before about thinking some decision is an asshole decision...
    Lol

    First of all, i actually said to kennyshoulda that no offence was intended in that post and was sorry to sound harsh but I will say how it is when necessary. I bare no ill feelings towards her and she knows this. Sure we have a war of words from time to time but i hope she realises that what i say is never to be personal. I've been called worse than a hypocrite but at least i put logic in my posts and back it up with evidence, something so far i have never seen you do Bonbon.

    Now onto your little attack on me. If someone honestly thinks that someone's personal feelings is more important than people's safety and staying alive during a moment of serious danger then common sense tells you that this is a moronic belief. How is it not?? Unless that person is suicidal or something because the fact is, that person would die if they hadn't taken action in those few minutes and instead worried about feelings of another which was not as important here. I do not mean to be harsh to her and i told kennyshoulda this but I will speak my mind and be completely honest about what i think. I implore you to please imagine yourself in that real life situation and then maybe think what the actual outcome would be.

    Watch this from Fear The Walking Dead and go to about 3:50 into the video (ignore the guy watching the video lol), you'll see a man have a heart attack just like Larry did and then the bride gives CPR to him except that this time the man turns and bites her face. Supposing this is what could have happened to Lilly or determinant Lee? If Larry had not been dealt with then that is what will have inevitably happened and that is my point as to why i feel it is very naive to consider someone's feelings over survival in that situation.

    I am ok with you talking like this, just don't get mad at other peoples for doing the same. Just saying...

    Well you obviously "aren't" ok with how i talk on here otherwise you wouldn't have replied calling me a hypocrite. And the only time i get mad at someone is if they ignore or haven't listened to things i have said in a fair, logical argument. I asked you many things in our last discussion and to this day you never did answer my questions to try and counter my theories/posts etc. But anyway...just saying...

    Ugh how are you not getting this either lol? I am not saying this to be shitty or annoying or whatever, i am showing you clear logic that you don't seem to grasp or want to look at. Ok i'll rephrase it.

    Larry "could" have been alive when Kenny did what he did, Kenny "could" have killed an alive man but at the same time Larry "could" have been dead as well and we all know there was no definite way of knowing for certain. Regardless that it was unknown that he was alive or dead, the point is that they all knew that had they even waited a few seconds longer than the already few minutes that had passed, Larry would eventually turn if Lilly/Lee could not revive him. This is a fact and you know when someone dies in that world that this is what happens. The reason it was necessary is because the group could not take that chance if he was dead and coming back to kill them. I already also explained that even if he was alive and could be revived, Larry would die anyway because he would need emergency medical help and as they were locked in a fridge they had no way to get Larry that help so how is what i say not logical in any way? Sadly there is more to doing what is right than wrong here and to ensure the safety of yourself and those you care about you have to do the hard thing. The scene is horrible, upsetting and full of drama and I didn't like the situation myself but i am trying to be rational about this if i were in that position in real life.

    Do you see my point now? I am not trying to be rude or mean to you but i am giving clear evidence and valid points to back up my argument.

    If the fate of Larry was unknown before Kenny smashed his head in with a salt lick, as you said yourself, then it wasn't "necessary to do in

  • Whether the chances of survival were minimal or maximum, there was still a chance, that became nothing in a short amount of time by Kenny.

    Larry could not have been saved as i explained in my last post to you. I have witnessed first hand in real life a heart attack victim be revived and i know that the person needs immediate care, drugs, life support possibly. They did not have any of this when Larry had the attack. As i also explained to you, it wasn't about trying to save him that was important here, it was making sure everyone would still be alive at the end of it before he turned and caused a threat.

    What we must also consider is that Katjaa had medical experience, which may have come in the realms of animals more than humans, but she still had more experience than any of the others in the group. Meaning that, she could have provided or at the very least suggested what the group should do concerning Larry's heart attack.

    Um? What? Exactly where was Katjaa when Larry had his heart attack? Being held prisoner by the St John's. So how would she be able to help him when she didn't even know that this had happened to him??

    Anyway, if anything, you need "medical care", not a hospital. A hospital will do you no good if there's not reliable doctors who can provide you with the necessary medical treatment. However, if people have been miraculously cured of cancer with no traces left in their system, then I believe that a person can be revived successfully and recover fully from a heart attack.

    I'll just copy and paste what i said in the first paragraph:

    Larry could not have been saved as i explained in my last post to you. I have witnessed first hand in real life a heart attack victim be revived and i know that the person needs immediate care, drugs, life support possibly. They did not have any of this when Larry had the attack.

  • How do you know? When Larry collapsed, falling to the ground in the first episode, he wasn't banging on a door, and screaming at the top of his lungs. There was a huge difference in how he reacted to the situation

    How was it different? It wasn't different at all. Larry was raging and got very stressed shouting at/to Carley in the first episode and had what could be fair to say a mild attack which was brought on from the stress just like what happened in the locker except that the second one was more severe. In the drugstore he was conscious after the attack and it was obviously not as bad as in the meat locker and this is no doubt true because the guy falls unconscious and "stops breathing" after the second one.

    For all you know, if he had been given enough time to calm down after Lilly performed CPR, he could have lived to see another day without any further issues.

    And i must again refer you to what i replied to you in my other post about this. Here it is once more:

  • Pfff always making this long unnessecary stories..

    There's my point exactly, you aren't willing to read my long stories because you have no respect or patience for it. Not my problem though. It just proves i am right because you are unable to construct a decent debate together which i will always counter.

    And don't get happy too quickly, the ban wasn't because of you..

    Why would i be happy? I know the ban wasn't because of me, i never said it was. But i could see that by the way you spoke to me that if you did it to others then you would eventually get banned and turns out i was right. I don't know what you got banned for but it doesn't matter to me at all.

    You can't deny the fact you did the same where you blamed me in the past just to make me look more bad

    The difference is when i blame you or make a critical point about you it is justified because you simply refuse to back up your argument/points to counter my own in a discussion. You don't like what i have to say just as I don't with you but i have actually even said to you that you and i might have other things in common but i guess you aren't prepared to have a civil conversation?

    I think its safe to say we are both guilty of that behaviour due to contrasting views but whilst i stepped away from that, it seems to me you followed me to continue that behaviour by calling me a hypocrite again. I am more than willing to let bygones be but not you it seems.

    All i want from a discussion is for both parties to be able to be civil believe it or not. Sure, things get heated at times but that's only natural when 2 people believe in different things. But when one person (me) is making a valid argument about a character or scene etc but then the other person (you) fails to challenge my points logically or refuse to consider another viewpoint or have a good plan of evidence to back up your view with, the convo goes nowhere. I explained time and time again my viewpoint with Arvo and the situation in general yet you failed to answer a single question when i made a valid point in the topic. That's the issue i have. I accept different viewpoints only if the other person backs up their opinion with a fair argument.

    Which thread did i apparently make fun of you in? Can you provide a link please or screenshot something i said?

    I chose to help Lilly give Larry CPR for a few reasons.

    1) Killing Larry would make Lilly hate you, and I didn't want her trying to murder me in my sleep if we somehow got out of that situation. Making some sort of effort to save him first would make that less likely, I thought.

    2) I figured that we probably had a little time to at least try some CPR. I mean, it would take a few minutes for Larry's brain to die from lack of oxygen, so we should be safe to administer at least a minute or two of vigorous CPR before we really need to put him down.

    3) I was thinking that Kenny could stand ready with something to put Larry down right away if he turned. While I was doing CPR he could find something and wait.

    4) Also, the characters at this point aren't even 100% sure that Larry will turn. All they have to go on is that one guy turning even though Ben says he wasn't bitten, and Ben's claim that everyone turns. The word of some random stranger isn't exactly solid proof that Larry would turn. I mean, obviously we know he will, but if you're trying to make in-character decisions it's something to consider.

  • According to everybody who has an actual soul that's a pretty solid moral code, actually. Why the fuck would you kill someone or wish death upon them for being a dick what the fuck.
