It's time to say good bye to **********
It was because of The Walking Dead and Clementine that I fell in love with TellTale Games.. I love her growth as a character, I love the story she has told. It is awesome to be her mentor/protector, to become her, and then to see what's happened to her as she is her own person. I am even interested in what happens with AJ.
But I think that after the next Season, it's time to say good bye to Clementine. I hope that they don't try to make her story go on and on. One more season dedicated to what happens to her and then out.
Though I would love to see more TWD seasons past her. That's just my thoughts though.

What I can see happening is if Telltale decides to stop making Walking Dead games, then Robert Kirkman himself will gladly write her in the comics.
This is the number one way to get me to start buying the Comic Books..starting from Episode #1 up to the point she is introduced. I think that would be a cool extension for her. As I said, I love the character.. I just that that TWD is about at its end of telling her story well..
Before episode 5 and the story continuation tease I always thought telltale might just end Clem's story and go back to the start of the apocalypse and focus on new characters. Although that's kind of what they did with Javier Clem shouldn't appear in a game like that.
I'm the opposite, actually. I'd love to see more Clementine in the future, obviously if her adventures are well-written. She's still very young and it's not like the apocalypse's gonna stop. Also, there's AJ to raise.
If done right, I can see Clem being a major character in the comics. I don't know why people don't want her in the comics. Maybe because they're afraid she'll be killed off?
I honestly don't think Telltales is above killing her off in the next season. One of the reasons I like Telltales is I feel like they will take chances.. So her life will always be in 'danger' in that sense. I personally would hate for her to die to (I'd probably not like the episode or comic).. But I wouldn't mind seeing her in other forms - even at that chance.
To be honest, I only want Clementine in the comics for two reasons:
Yeah but what are they going to do when Clem is gone go back to Javier? Making another new character is going to work out the same way that happened with him which is alot of backlash.
But remember Clem can lose a finger or whatever so how will Robert Kirkman handle her.
This feels like a reference I am missing somehow..
There's no Telltale's "The Walking Dead" without Clementine. A New Frontier proved that.
The Walking Dead has been going downhill since Season 1. And Telltale are NEVER going to top that. So they should just stop, before it gets even worse, and they end up doing something they regret.
Well, since Telltale uses the "alone" ending as their default Clem, then I guess Kirkman will do the same.
I would too since I think losing her finger makes her look more badass.
I agree losing her finger does make her more badass. but if Kirkman did that then it won't be fair on the people who picked other endings.
It wasn't fair when Telltale used "alone" Clem as the Clem in their trailers.
Plus they're better off doing that because I'm sure there are people who read the comics but never played the game. It'll help them understand her character more if she was alone the whole time.
Didn't they not use Jane and Kenny endings in trailers too.
As far as I know, they only used like one or two scenes
I know what Kirkman can do he should do a vote and the one with the most votes it's the Clem he will do. It only seems fair
In reality telltale needs to end the series FOREVER after Clementines story. Seeing how telltale really struggled to make ANF shows they really don't know what to do with this series anymore and at this point what else could they do that isn't recycled or rehashed material?. At least with clementines story they have a grounded direction with a general idea for the story and an idea of how the story will progress. As I've said before telltale needs to end the series for good before they ruin what is a masterpiece series.
If people really cared, Kirkman can do all of her endings: she could be shown with the missing finger, the gunshot scar, the car crash scar, and the tattoo all at once. Obviously, it wouldn't really work out because she got all of those in 4 distinctly different choices.
Season 5 will be the end of TWDG, I'm pretty sure of that and I think Clem will die in S5.
Sadly..
I would so love to see Clem, Carl, and Sophia become best friends; I truly think when Telltale is finished with Clem's story, the comics are the perfect place to continue her story (as long as she doesn't become a background character like Sophia has become). If Clem ever has a true love interest -- they need to be her equal and not her inferior like Gabe -- Carl is perfect for her, though he's already in a relationship, so his girlfriend would need to die first.
I can definitely see a story develop between those three. And yes, Clem will not be a background character like Sophia. She's just too popular and not to mention her own story will be intertwined with Carl's.
Carl and Lydia aren't a thing anymore, last time I checked. I wouldn't mind if Clem and Carl hook up, but I can understand the frustration some fans get if they do.
Yeah, I've grown very indifferent to the little citrus over the course of this installment myself.
Nah, Clementine IS twdg. The Walking Dead is interesting for the characters that are alive and live through the apocalypse. Clementine is our hook back to the beginning.
I hope Telltale listens to feedback, they are a great company and they are able to make blockbusters.
No, Carl and Lydia are still in a relationship. Lydia said she and Carl aren't in love but Carl eventually convinced her otherwise (at least his conception of love); on Andrea's death bed (last issue) she asked Carl if he and Lydia were still together and he said that they are. Lydia told Andrea that she will try and take good care of Carl (or something along those lines) before Andrea died. Anyways, I realize that Lydia doesn't need to die for Clem and Carl to get together, they just need to break up -- obviously, they need to meet first. I'm pretty sure most fans wouldn't mind it if Clem and Carl do eventually hook up (compared to Clem and Gabe) because Carl isn't a pussy, nor is he Clem's inferior; they are on the same level.
Oh, I forgot about that panel. Oops.
Most people assume we're talking about TV show Carl (who's WAYY different than comic Carl). If they do hook up, I can see Clem calming Carl down during his outbursts while Carl can help Clem trust others again.
I agree. I don't want a video game company that continues to survive off the past success of their most popular character. I'd want them to progress and eventually try and create new characters to move on with.
I to think it is time to close out Clementine's story. No matter how cool a character is if their story starts getting dragged out too much than it begins to harm how people view that character. Clementine is at the point now where she is about to hit the limit where there might not be that much story left to tell.
As far as her going into the comic I think it would be a good way to end her story in the video game world without having to actually kill her off. I don't however think Kirkman would ever use her as a main character though. If she went into the comics I don't think she would be much more than a background character (just a known member of one of the communities). Which would still be perfectly fine because it would still allow us to know where she currently is and if she is still alive.
Screw that. I would love to give her a novel. Just to get to know her character in a mental level.
Why dont people get it? twd IS Clementine! There is no ttgtwd without her! We all saw ttg try to replace her and we also saw how it turned out. Season 4 could be the best ever if ttg continues what they did in last 10 minutes of this finale
Which is why they were able to do a Michonne miniseries.
Even if Clementine has turned into the main character of the series she still needs to have a purpose and a reason for why stories are continuing to get told about her.
As of right now the only reason they have for why stories are continuing to be told about her is that she is chasing after a baby. Considering it was a baby that was only introduced into the series towards the very end of season 2 shows you right there that they are running out of ideas for Clementine.
She is the most marketable character in the series so from a business standpoint she needs to continue to be in future games. However from an in universe perspective its not hard to see that they are struggling to keep her characters story relevant.
Her story is not limited to just finding a baby whose fate isnt even confirmed dead or alive, her story is about survival on her own, her story is about her developing personality and strong character from a young age and how she handles the world around her. These are enough for telltale to carry on for a couple of seasons and combined with additional storylines and old characters, the future seasons can be really overwhelming
"Guys; let's be honest its time to say goodbye to Rick Grimes. He has been in the comics since issue one. He already has so much character development just let him go."
I disagree. I think the one thing this series lacked is seeing characters really carry over and survive. Walking Dead is about surviving! Characters are either dead or missing most of the time in TTG series. You don't get to bond with these people for long and see them grow. Imagine if we had got to see Sarah or Duck or Becca get a little older. Or the changes to Omid after his and Christa's stillbirth. Seeing how everything played out, I wish Clementine wasn't in this season. Her inclusion was forced, and she met none of her main goals: finding AJ and getting a truck. I understand this season wasn't her story, but even side characters have some resolution. Plus we would not have gotten the terrible flashbacks in episode 1.
He better bloody not. Clementine should always remain a Telltale character. If they want to stop using her than stop using her, just don't put her in the comics.
I think there's still plenty Telltale could do with Clem. She's still really young and it'd be great to see her grow and see how her character continues to evolve.
Nah clem is the walking dead no clem no walking dead
Oh, yeah, of course. There's no way I'd ever want TV Carl to get anywhere near Clem; Comic Carl, on the other hand, is a complete badass.
