  • He himself said it was stupid...
    He was in the heat of the moment, not thinking straight, terrified that something happened to Clem, he just didn't pay attention enough

  • I think it was pretty cool.
    That pretty much shows you that you can die by just a simple mistake. Characters don't need to have some badass final boss fight and then die :)

  • Dude, I know it was in 2012 or something, but putting that in the title could cause a lot of people to be mad.

  • Oh really. So why ppl didn't accept the of kenny car crush death and they say its stupid. Its not about (Characters don't need to have some badass final boss fight and then die) its about the player love for the characters if he can accept that or not and from what I have seen so far ppl love kenny more than lee they want him back more than lee, even if he pretty much had zero chance for that and lee had it they will keep asking for kenny over him any time.

    kenny's death was stupid and insignificant to the story. lee was given the punishment of death for being worried for his girl (he wouldn't've gotten bitten if he didn't pick up the radio)

    A common theme (and one of my personal favourites things) about zombie related stories, is that what used to be an everyday monotonous task becomes a life or death situation.
    You are never safe, everything becomes an unknown, everything threatens your life. You are never entirely safe. Even from things as simple as picking up a hat from the ground.
    The way Lee got bitten accentuates this theme. And just shows that no matter how smart, or careful you are, you are always one small mistake away from death. He wasn't some invincible action hero, he was just a guy doing what he could. He started to panic and let guard down for just a moment, and that's all it takes.

  • well, thats just my opinion. I think both Lees and Kennys death in S3 were good. Even though Kennys death was kinda short I don't see any reason to hate it.
    Like i said tho, just my opinion.

  • Eh, the way it happened was dumb but he did fight it for as long as he could.

    I agree. I am not happy that Lee died, I didn't want him to die and I would rather him still be in the game as the main character or an important character. The build up of his death and the aftermath was much better than Kenny's season 3 death but that still doesn't justify killing him in my opinion.

  • That's the point.

  • It's all about context. Lee was bitten in episode 4 and was given a full episode after that to deal with that fact and give him a proper send off. Kenny was killed in 5 minutes and then the story happily continued on without mentioning it again.

    Lee's death fit thematically with the rest of the story and he was given a satisfying death, despite not having a massive, over-dramatic death. Kenny's death was the opposite. He wasn't given a satisfying conclusion and his death felt like they just did it so they could quickly sweep his character under the rug.

  • Yeah i agree, the way he was bitten was really dumb, his death was forced and the worst part is that he had so much potential, but i still admire his character. Even though he was damned to die, he didnt hesitate, he fought until the end to save the person who loves and he did it like a badass! without ever showing any fear.
    Lee will always be my favorite character from this franchise.

    Chances are, that's how most of us would've died. You're walking by some trees, stop to check your phone, some weird monster pops out and nibbles on your ankle. That's just how a zombie apocalypse would work--most die without fanfare.

    To be honest, Lee was EXTREMELY lucky that he'd made it that far. So were all of the other survivors. The fact that a zombie finally got him isn't a dumb death, it's just his luck finally running out.

  • They shouldnt have killed him off, the series has been going downhill since his death. He was by far the best protagonist and a lot more potential for future stories. Much more believable too, it would have been interesting to see him go against Carver etc.

  • Yeah that's the point of that scene, to show you that even after facing bandits, cannibals and herds a stupid little mistake can kill you

  • Oh well

  • It felt a bit cheating becuase that walker was super fast

    Even in the TV show I hate seeing the inconcsictencies of walkers biting speed becuase it annoys me when I see a minor character die from a fast walker but then the main chars get these slow walkers

    Honestly, whilst I don't particularly like how he died - I think it was silly, unfair and a bit random, but that's why his death has such an impact, I actually cared about Lee enough to have an emotional reaction that only strengthened as I played through episode 5.

    Lee sealed his fate because of one mistake. It's realistic as humans constantly make mistakes, and although it's a grim way of showing the consequences of small mistakes, it just further proves that people can die any second and not in the way we expect them to go. It was a special case with Lee's character though as he didn't die on the spot but we continued to play out his story knowing how it would end, which really added to the emotional impact. It was unfair for him but it parallels to real life.

  • Well that's just how it goes, Carley was just shot by Lilly out of nowhere. And Lee just had one walker get the jump on him, a walker that he should've been able to kill pretty effortlessly but he wasn't thinking about his surroundings, he was worried of Clementine's safety.

    And no, I think it was the right way to go. A majority of us here love how the season concluded, it's actually one of my favourite video game endings of all time. Lee was trying everything in his power to make sure Clem was safe presently and that she'd be able to look after herself after he was gone. Lee is actually my favourite Telltale protagonist of all time and even though his lifespan of the series was incredibly short, he had the biggest influence than anyone else has in Clem's journey.

  • It shows that even the strongest, most oriented and determined survivor that ever existed can die in an instant in such a nightmare that post-apocalyptic word is.

  • It was both stupid and good at the same time

  • Lee's death was written and performed perfectly. Yeah what he did when he got bit was stupid but he was in the heat of the moment worried about Clementine that he wasn't paying full attention.

  • shouldn't the title be "Lee got bit too easily?"

  • Looking back at it, it was really stupid how Lee got bit.

  • I just wanted to hug the poor guy though!
