  • Considering nearly every thread I've been in turns into a Marlon/AJ discussion. I think Telltale achieved what they wanted.

  • Those rascals, am I right?!

  • Did no one ask him for "Moderate impact" explanation?

  • I hate tumblr

  • The story is already different then Clementine and Lee. Cause AJ is a totally different and in my personal opinion a more interesting character then little Clementine.

    I just hope this season isn't Clementine falling into the Lee-Type role of just serving as a pure caretaker of AJ with no story of her own in her final season.

  • Blasphemy!! But I respect your opinion............ Its just wrong.

    Hahah, kidding.

    Ultimately i think it is merely an overreaction from the Aussie ratings board for something as simple as a kiss. Like they said in the Q&A, they are dealing with children and have discussed it with multiple people at length so i doubt they would go far. ESRB hasnt rated the episode to have any sexual themes so dont worry. People are reacting as though its a worst case scenario but they need to calm down.

    So when Aussies rate the sex element, they are taking into account kissing? I mean aren't you supposed to take into account only sex related concepts? Honestly it's kinda hard to believe that they would give a "moderate sex impact" just for a kiss. When they put "mild impact" on s2e4 TWD, they were right, and when they put "moderate impact" for Batman episode 3, they were also right.
    btw, when it comes to esrb rating http://www.esrb.org/ratings/search.aspx they didn't fully rate it I think because the episode didn't come out. I think that only when it comes out do they include a more detailed description where they mention whether there were any sex related things or not.

  • Exactly. The moderate Sex Impact rating on Australian Rating board is pretty much what we got in Batman S1 episode 3. It is the same,but I am not saying we are getting nudity(thank God we are not getting that)due to the Australian Rating Board. It will probably be a kissing and moan and just fade to Black once it becomes a little bit more romantic.

    Also I have feeling ESRB rating will be the same thing too.

  • Wouldn't say interesting, but he is entirely different than Clementine was in S1. Obviously the character is different, but the exact same dynamic from Lee/Clementine is being applied in this season.

    And with Kent Mudle's comments of Clementine taking on the mother role over AJ and having to try and raise him moving forward doesn't give me much hope of it not just becoming a Lee repeat.

    The story is already different then Clementine and Lee. Cause AJ is a totally different and in my personal opinion a more interesting character then little Clementine.

  • Did Lee have to tell Clementine to not shoot someone? Or to not hit people in the face?

    This season is about teaching AJ some moral lessons. S1 focussed more on Lee making Clem a survivor. Preparing her. Those moral lessons were not really needed for her cause you know, little Clem was already a good kid. I think that seperates s1 from s4.

  • Exactly its Clementine just being a parent/teacher having really no story of her own in her own final season which is just underwhelming.

  • And yet S3E5 of TWD ANF got a "Mild Sex Impact" (the one before moderate, think of it as 2/5).
    All that episode had in it was a kiss or two with Javi and Kate and also with Clem and Gabe (god forbid that it exists). Australians are known to be very strict with ratings and I can't fathom it being anything more than a bit of a snog in episode 2.

    There can't be anything more honestly, especially considering they are minors. By all means wait for the PEGI and ESRB ratings closer to the time, although i doubt they will change.

  • Whether people like it or not, AJ has been a central point of Clems story since season 2. Not really seeing why your worried that she wont get her own story. I mean Lee having clem around in season 1 din't stop him from getting his own character arc/development.

    Wait I didn't know about that s3e5 rating. Wow so they seriously put "mild sex impact" just because of the kisses?? Damn now I'm questioning even more of all my sex theories for episode 2.
    EDIT: I just checked and you are right. Cmon man there must have been something sexual related in that episode that we missed.

  • It was pretty cool to see Kent reply to my questions! And thank you for sharing my questions as well as the other questions to the forums! :smile:

  • Nope just replayed all of Anf last week, all it had was kisses. So it's either the whole sex slave thing with the raiders or Clementine is having sex, is what got it its "moderate sex impact rating".

  • It basically did midway during the season his sole role and purpose was being a guardian for Clementine until he died.

    The AJ central point, I never saw AJ as a central point even after he was born and especially since he was absent for 97% of ANF. He was an infant that was part of the story midway through S2 developing a more central role at the end of S2 only to disappear for the near entirety of ANF to be returned in S4. The majority of Clementine and AJ's relationship was either developed offscreen or inserted to push the story forward by the writers with no exact reasoning behind it.

  • Well since Aussies put mild impact on literally a 3 second kiss, maybe they put moderate impact on a 10 second, passionate Clem kiss xD

    I still don't see how that takes away from his development as a character, but thats your opinion so ok.

    That's definitely the great thing about the final season, because we're seeing the relationship between these two characters develop over the course of the season. So no, I don't think her looking after Aj is going to halt her character growth.
