I do !
This is my go-to ending when replaying the series.
After all Kenny went through he's now broken. Clem is unable to kill him because she knows how much history they have but after he kills Jane she realizes how gone Kenny is and decides to give him the peace he deserves.
Kenny knows this too and just tells her to "Do it... just do it"
At least that's how I see it.
It's a shame because the story generator thinks you shot Kenny and saved Jane then walked away, thus Jane is still alive in that scenario. Not that big of a thing but still.
It's the ending I consider canon. It just works perfectly with the dark theme of the season.
For me, Clem couldn't bring herself to shoot another one of her closest friends after Lee. But when Kenny actually killed Jane, she realized that there is no other way.
Clem killed Lee in mercy, then she killed Kenny in rage. After that, she was left behind a little bit more broken than before.
I guess?
It's the one I went with, the one that sorta suits how various relationships and mindsets were going, and ultimately the one that's probably the most "canon."
I'm going to disagree with you guys and say I'm not a fan of this ending. The only thing canon about the alone ending is how it is the simplest for new players, but in terms of content and story arc fulfillment it is one of the weakest.
Having less content doesn't mean there's less fulfillment. It was fulfilling seeing Clem muster up the bravery to take of AJ by herself, and trudge through the horde of walkers in blood in the final scene. No filler, no grandiose speech. Just Clem doing what she's always good at: surviving.
And like you pointed out, it's the easily the most canon, and fits the season's theme moreso than the others. And the other endings imo actually add too much filler nonsense. All of it is meaningless in S3. Wheras the Alone ending perfectly segues.

No. This has always been my least favorite ending because, despite the effect is has on Clementine's character, it still feels really underwhelming and anticlimactic to me. My canon ending is to shoot Kenny and abandon Jane because I think it's an infinitely more satisfying resolution and you'll still be able to naturally segue into her character arc in ANF.
And like you pointed out, it's the easily the most canon, and fits the season's theme moreso than the others.
I didn't say that. I said the ONLY thing canon about it is the fact that it's the most basic and least complicated ending for players who might not have played s1 and s2 when starting season 3.
This ending to me is basically just, "okay everyone died and nothing mattered, now Clem is walking through a herd with a baby". It's badass of her but not a great end to the s2 arc like the Kenny endings are imo

Then again, the alone ending dovetails/parallels with the S1 ending pretty well-- both involve Clementine alone in a large open field, with potential danger in the near distance. The difference is that while she was small and afraid in the first, she walks headlong into the danger in the second. Which could also act as a solid conclusion to her S2 arc, or at the very least the direction of her character, if you were to view S2 as a kind of post-apocalypse coming of age story.

This also explains her attitude in ANF.

Underrated ending for regular fans sure but for Kenny fans? Hell nah bruh it better stay underrated.

S2 had an arc ?
I mean I can see that if you really like Kenny/Jane you would prefer their endings more.
Yes, I also didn't mention that it's an obvious callback to S1's ending and symbolizes imo what you just wrote.
Oh, is that why it's in that field? Huh.
It had several. It just couldn't be assed to reliably develop and/or many of them.
