Why I Chose Violet
Here's some of my reasons why I chose to save Violet over Louis at the end of episode 2. I love Louis, but for me personally, Violet was the better choice:
- She may seem cold at first, but once you get to know her she warms right up.
- She doesn't fool around like Louis. Yes, Louis' lightheartedness is needed, but the fact that he'd rather mess around than do actual work is a little worrying while Violet concentrates on survival more. Violet still makes jokes here and there, which is good for both her and the group.
- She stood up as leader after Marlon was sent to the farm up state. She was pretty decent and kept Mitch and the others in line.
- She's been looking after Tenn since his sisters died. This is shows that Violet isn't some mini Jane and can actually care for people.
- She handles herself pretty well.
- Her scene with Clementine if you chose to go with her to the bell tower is pretty sweet (and you can get an easter egg of Randy Tutor/Kenny, who ever you see in the stars.)
- I can relate to Violet not being a "peoples person". I can understand her difficulty with dealing with new people.
- She, Tenn and one other person defended Clementine after AJ shot Marlon. Yes, what AJ did was wrong, but the fact that Violet didn't want him and Clem to die in the wilderness made her even less of a Jane.

I think Louis’ playfulness can be a bit too much at times, but one can die at any moment, making everything they had planned for a waste of time.

And the troll took the bait. Brilliant.
True. I don't mind that he makes jokes all the time, but when he goes hunting with Aasim and all he does is play with the already trapped walker instead of hunting for food, that's when he annoyed me slightly. Don't hate the guy, but he needs to understand that he can joke and work at the same time, not just joke around with some walker that he really should just kill and get on with the important stuff.
Chose for...?
Oh, to save at the end of episode 2. Should of said. Oh well, this was only created as bait to lure and expose that troll MaikelRR_, not that he needed much exposing anyways.
I mean,even if you did that to bait that other dude,i still agree with you,that's why i chose her instead of Louis but i also LIKE Louis and don't talk shit about him all the time like some other people here do..
That's the main trope of her character.
Eh, more like Clementeen suggested she go ahead and do that, but sure.
I probably shouldn't say this, but...tbf, Jane did travel with Jaime across multiple states before she just gave up and left her for dead.
How so in particular?
It is the more appropriate one pacing-wise.
Aasim.
To be fair, no one wanted that.
...Okay, except maybe Mitch.
I thought this was created by him at first.
I remember being just a little thrown off balance, but also feeling like it was really him blowing off some steam/stress in a jarring way and using his usual demeanor to hide it.
With that said, it is worth noting that Louis is both the one who made the traps and is later shown to be rather unsteady with a bow.
An outstanding bait it was!
I chose Violet because I want to see her expression when she sees Minnerva. If we let her get kidnapped they might already be rejoined by the time we get there.
Couldn't agree more.....she's a good friend with my clementine
I'm still happy to be part of the extremely small percentage of people that romanced Violet, but still saved Louis at the end of episode 2

That's probably the best combo you can get from what I understand.
Violet, Tenn, Aasim votes for you to stay btw. You save Aasim's life in Ep1. He defends you from Mitch and calls him a hypocrite. And gets shit from Willy. Saying that you getting kicked out is bullshit.
While it does actually become something later and is evidence of how they should've given him in particular more development on the side, I love how Wily's premiere tension with Aasim is basically, "You're dumb."
i saved vi because i never wanna have to see or hear louis again
Violet is everything I want to see in a partner for Clem. Smart, protective, tough, fierce, loyal. I trust her the most out of all the kids to get shit done and have my back so that's who I would ship Clem with every time.
Admittedly, I mainly chose Violet because she's not Louis lol.
W o k e
I chose Louis. I already kissed Violet and told her about the whole girlfriend thing, so I thought I’d cut him some slack. Besides the fact he plays around a lot and makes jokes all the time, why does everyone hate Louis?
I bet they hate him because he’s black lol jk I don’t know I love Louis I don’t know why everyone hates him so much
It's not everyone. Just certain stern, hostile, or flaccidly borderline types.
She was already doing it before Clem said anything.
She was sitting in the chair because potatoes, at least from what I remember. It's been a while.
Plus, it was Mitch who arranged the whole vote thing and presumably put Willy on guard duty while everyone else was worrying over what happened.
What I'm trying to say is that there wasn't really a leader.
No one hates Louis. People just are jealous of him being awesome in everysingle way.
I don't hate Louis, he's still one of my favourites, it's just that I chose Violet because she takes things more seriously and says it as it is.
He just comes off as very unreliable all around. Votes Clem and AJ out, they almost die because of it, then changes his mind about it some hours later, which really makes you question if he has any integrity at all or if his beliefs are really that fickle. Also hilariously gives you a sob story about never being there for Marlon and letting him carry all the burdens alone... minutes after refusing to help Violet and telling her to fix the problem alone.
I don't hate him or actively want him to die or anything, but he's definitely the first name on the "sacrifice if need be" list.
lmfao, good point
He obviously didn't want anything to happen to them and even when giving them the walk out, he was trying to reason that it wouldn't be so bad for them.
This is particularly evident when they come back if you had Violet shoot at Lily, where he not only rushes to help them the moment he sees they're hurt in spite of his displeased posture, but carries AJ inside to Ruby despite causing some strain to his own wound.
he was putting off moving the couches or whatever in that instance because he wanted to use some brief time off to practice archery. He intended to take care of it afterwards.
Louis knew exactly what he was doing. His "you've done this before so what him doing is ok" excuse is just that - an excuse - and a sad attempt at soothing his own conscience. That AJ had to literally been shot for him to grasp the obvious - the woods are dangerous! - doesn't make the situation at all better. Louis supposed unawareness of the dangers the road poses only excuses what his decision led to to a point.
Again, this only makes Louis's actions come off as even more unbearable. The fact that it only takes him a couple of hours to shift his whole stance is just infuriating, because had he come to the conclusion that maybe Marlon's actions led to his own demise, and that Clem and AJ didn't deserve to get thrown out on their asses after what his own friend did to them just a single day earlier, Clem and AJ wouldn't have needed to go through a near fatal experience.
If it had been my neck under that boot or my kid shot in the crossfire of a conflict that I wasn't even involved in, I sure as hell wouldn't be so quick to forgive.
So you assume.
I'm not sure what causes it, but he mentions it when he's wrapping up.
You do actually keep in mind that you are expecting a kid to act fully mature after he just jost the most important person in his life? Besides, he had every right to kick them out. They were ambushed by those assholes in the woods unfortunatelly, but it still doesn't make him any wrong.
He basically pulled the trigger on AJ, dude.
The only person that basically pulled the trigger on someone was AJ himself when he has unnecessarly killed Marlon.
Ironic. Did Louis keep in mind that Marlon had just unapologetically tried to kill the kid's "most important person in his life", hell, the only one he's ever known, twice, with no reason other than cowardice and self interest, after they had promised her care and protection? After she helped them with their struggles? Did Louis keep in mind that his "friend" intended to sell the kid himself to wood raiders, after pinning his own disgusting murder on his caretaker and executing her like an animal in front of everyone?
Don't ask me to care about Louis's grief when the guy himself doesn't care about anything Clem or AJ felt in the moment everything went down.
