    Did you even READ my post or did you read like the half of the first paragraph and say fuck it ill reply now. "Save her?! CLEM NEEDS SAVING

  • "Like imagine if during a walker fight she started to experience certain symptoms that you listed after that conversation and we had to save her because of it" Those were yours words, not mine.

    I also never said I saw Javi as a father figure because he saved her at the junkyard or when the walker she couldn't kill right away because the bullets didn't work.
    Even less that she doesn't need anyone.

    Don't forget that Clem experienced much more than Gabe or even Javi.
    For some of us Clem left alone in season 2 meaning she was around 11 when she had to go through a bunch of walkers with AJ. She meets Ava around 13, so yeah , years dealing with shitty things alone with a baby.
    You even see Gabe crying because he was scared in the junkyard, he was extremely sheltered until episode 4, Gabe and Javi never had to deal with things alone like Clem did. I'm not making things up, it clearly shows since episode 1
    So yes, she has more experience, but never said she was stronger or didn't need help.

    And that's exactly why in my eyes we can't see Clem weak.
    And again, about "the no one cares" is clearly because not many people including you, saw those 5 minutes in the infirmary like you said, as a "father and daughter moment" an important moment for both of them. Don't forget that Javi lost Mariana, a niece he thought of as a daughter, and the last father figure Clem had was Lee. So yeah, I can't help but feel that even if it was 5 minutes it was a strong bonding time. We wish it was longer? Or wish we had more moments like these? I'm the first asking for more. But I can't say that moment was useless to the story because it wasn't.
    Hell! it was probably the only truly bonding moment between Javi and Clem in the whole season. I'm not gonna spit on that.

  • in 2014 when i first finished walking dead season one and could only think of the possibilities in the future for such an amazing series, never once did i think a discussion like this would ever happen

  • Whatever. I think it was a waste of time and you clearly think it was some super important moment for both of them. Agree to disagree.

    I'm curious though, how old are you that you don't know what Game of Thrones is?

    I'm not too sure what the average age is for the members here, but I actually find it simultaneously creepy and hilarious how deeply people feel about Clementine getting her period. I know that for a lot of guys it can be uncomfortable to discuss, but it's such a normal thing that represents the fact that Clementine is.. well, no longer eight years old. The scene itself was adorably awkward because of Clementine's confusion and Javi's discomfort, I feel. I would have handled it differently, but I wasn't entirely against including it in the game.

    Not too sure why people are so opposed to even the slightest mention of these things happening. Not even expressing criticisms of how the scene was handled, just the idea of it happening.

  • The purpose was to highlight that she's grown up since season 1, she's becoming an adult. Periods are a MAJOR part of growing up. It would also be extremely difficult to understand if you had no education on it. I honestly don't know why it's so hard to understand.

    Yeah, at least then it would actually have some sort of purpose other than the scene just telling us the very obviously important information that periods exist, and that they happen, and that Clementine's female...

  • I've never said Clem saw Javi as a friend since Prescott, but it contributed to not see Javi as an asshole. Even if we don't see it, she dug a grave for Mariana while Javi was passed out, it means something to her, when Javi is filling Mariana's grave, she tries to confort him, that's when we start to see an emotional connection, even if it was through loss and sadness. That's also why she tells him, once they get in Prescott she'll be on the road, simply because she doesn't want to feel all those emotions. Once in Prescott if you agree to Badger and Max demand, Clem will be the one to shot the woman pointing a gun at you.
    On their way to Richmond, just before meeting Jesus, if you talk to her, she will say that she feels conflicted because you are good people and it never end well. In the tunnel she chose to tell you the truth about the new frontier. It wasn't for nothing. Or do you think that it was also out of nowhere?

    so don't say it's out of nowhere, because it shows clearly depending on how you played Javi. Let's look at it like this: Clem holds

  • 35 and now that you said the title, I've never been interested in Games of Thrones.
    Is my age really relevant?

  • I'm glad the conversation didn't devolve into "Ew loll!!periods I don't understand!! So cringey lolol". I think they handled it pretty well.

  • There was nothing like this in season 2.
    The only thing I can think of is when Mike ask Luke how it was with Jane, then Luke says something like, no time for kissing it lasted 10 minutes. Clem can chose to say gross or I know what you're talking about.... I don't remember everything. It was a talk about sex nothing about periods.

    Offtopic, but wasn't there some people who mentioned having a scene like this in Season 2?

  • I see uneducated men babbling about something they don't understand. It's not the first time.

    Why is everyone so triggered by this scene XD Girls have periods - Clem is a girl. Please stop acting like it's the end of the world.

    It humanized Clem and made her less of a badass robot. It shows her growth as not only a character, but as a human. It was well played and I applaud TT for having the balls to make it.

  • Agree 100%

  • Really? I didn't know about that... but I'm glad they didn't do it when she was 10 or 11 years old. I know for some of us it happens earlier but I still think it would have been too young.

  • It's won the emmy for Outstanding Drama series for 2 years in a row and is one of the most if not the most nominated television show at the emmys in the past 6 years. Calling it awful is weird. It's just not your cup of tea clearly.

  • You really don't seem to understand what I'm saying, so I'm mostly done trying to explain it. The point was that they have had no reasons originally to become friends, and so your constant attempts to dismiss that fact with selected scenes of them being friends, really isn't relative to that actual point...

  • I think it's more to due with the fact that the scene itself contributes nothing to the story and not the actual topic of periods, nor, like you assumed, because we're immature. If the writers wanted to highlight how Clementine had grown from how she was in the first season, they could've at least found a means to do it in a way that it'd drive the story further and her development, instead of just a random scene that goes nowhere, really.

  • I really must need a decoder with you, because I really don't get what specific reason you need to become friend with someone. As long as they're not assholes, share moments and can trust them. It's not like everything has to be calculated.

    Bruh, just because most background characters ended up looking like shit this season, you're putting too much thought into one who just happened to look decent.
    It's the "lowered standards" effect
    That's all I think this is.

    Because, for the 3rd time, there was seemingly more effort and thought put into her design and usage in her debut episode than you'd expect. Especially when compared to other background and/or mook character models.

    It's not hard to understand that it was a misplaced scene and sucked out all of the tension the episode was trying to build up.

  • edited June 2017

    The real problem here is that it's a heavily misplaced scene.

    You don't do a "cute and awkward" period scene RIGHT after a guy gets brutally stabbed in the shoulder and is wounded and you also don't do it RIGHT before a scene where a guy is really high on drugs and contemplating suicide.

    Not to mention that it sucks out the foreboding and dangerous atmosphere the episode was trying to build up.

    It's almost just as bad as everyone being 100% super happy that a baby is born mere SECONDS after they all witnessed a 15 year old being brutally mauled by walking corpses.

    Sloppy

  • Perhaps. Still, why even bother to have her, with her nonstandard design, show up in that cutscene when she's not there at all in the alternate scenario?

  • Everyone mentions Christa, but you guys seem to forget how cold Christa is towards Clem after Omid is killed......"16 months later" Clem: "Christa, talk to me"
    Christa looks at her, sighs and then complains about the fire.
    Not exactly the most easy person for Clem to talk to at that time.

  • I do agree, it was very misplaced. Though honestly? I did enjoy ANF, and I did like that scene, but all 5 episodes felt super rushed, maybe that's why it was oddly placed. Just hope season 4 won't be rushed.

  • SUICIDE SQUAD? It won an award for "Best Makeup and Hairstyling". How can you even compare that to an award like "best picture"? In fact that is the ONLY thing that suicide squad was even nominated for at the Academy Awards so I have a hard time arguing with you over this Get that shit out of here. Big Bang theory has never won the Emmy for outstanding comedy, so what was the point in bringing that up? Did you mean to say "Jim parsons has won numerous awards"?

    In that moment, I felt really uncomfortable because I am not an expert about this due to my gender and Clem explained it really forward and I was like "Oh shit do I have to have this conversation really ?" . I was glad at least Kate was exist to explain the situation in details so I dont have to do it. But period age is usually 11-12 so I was kind of expected maybe she could went through it in season 2 or in flashbacks and Jane/Kenny or Edith could help her with it. 13 is a bit late for period.

    Also I didnt expect that Clem would explain something like that to a guy which she just knows for 1-2 day. Desperation got her, I guess.

  • I couldn't agree more.

    The tonal direction in both season 2 and ANF is absolutely abysmal. It's like sensory overload or some shit.
