    What a perfect ending for him. At least I think so.

    Well, we never really SEE him die. Maybe he'll make a cameo appearance in Season 2. :D

    Kenny's big speech about not giving up when things get tough makes me think he's too much of a bad-ass to An Hero on us. :P

    His actions actually really made me respect him more than I already did. I'm pretty sure he'll back in season 2. Either Alive, as a corpse, or as a Walker. Hopefully the first.

    Has someone killed Ben in Episode Four? I'm wondering what happens to Kenny if that were to occur.

    He makes it across, onto the rooftop with you. You walk across the make-shift bridge, between the two buildings. Dialogue is exchanged, then he slaps your shoulder (Or something) when you get to the hole in the roof. You drop the radio into it. There are no walkers in there, so Christa jumps down to get the radio (The scene you see in the previews). The walkers show up, Christa can't get out, Kenny jumps in. Christa is hoisted up and saved. Kenny dies. Kenny "supposedly" dies, no matter what route you take.

    .....However, we never really see his death. :)

    he ends up living a bit longer. no one falls and no one gets impaled. in the next scene later on where if you let ben live you look down that whole to see a bunch of zombies, if you let ben die in episode four there are no zombies seen but they can be heard and smelled, so they know zombies are hiding in the dark. Kenny then pulls a Ben and accidentally shoves Lee which causes the walkie talkie to fall down and Christie picks it up because she thinks that's the only way they can find Clementine. She can't climb back up and she can't jump high enough to reach their arms so Kenny relaizes that she was not only pregnant, but he made so much talk in the attic that it was time for him to back it up and he goes down, lifts Christie up from the feet, and is alone with thirty plus zombies shooting at them (somehow he has more bullets and his death isn't seen just like how his death wasn't seen if you saved ben.)

    This most is likely not to happen,but what if you play as Kenny in season 2? I hope we at least get to see how he got out, if he did live.....

    In my second playthrough of the episode, I didn't fire my gun during the home invasion to see if it would make a difference, since they make a point of having Ben return your gun to you.

    I noticed that Lee says that he has 'just a few rounds' and Kenny asks for your bullets, but I messed up and told him I wasn't leaving him, so I don't think he actually took them. Has anyone managed to give them to him, and did that seem to make a difference?

    Kenny pulls a Ben... That whole line about pulling a Ben has become a thing:) I think that I was the first one to use that expression, but that doesn't matter. We just have to use it more. Kindda like: "TTG please don't pull a Ben on with season 2" :)

    yeah, the boat was gone, his family is gone, he really has little else to live for

    Mah Bro Kenny!!! WWWHHHYYYYYYYY???

    I don't get it. Why did he have to stay? I was already pissed that Ben was gonna die, I don't understand why he didn't just shoot him and go back to the roof with Lee. What was the point of him dying with Ben? It's just stupid.
  • edited November 2012
    I think he just wanted to die. He lost his family , he lost the boat and he knew he was losing the only friend he had even if you were a giant douche to him. To me , he just wanted it done with. I wouldn't be surprised if he magically survived though and maybe Lilly will come back to the story since Kirkman's Lilly is different than Telltale's Lilly.
  • edited November 2012
    ALtho he was kinda over that after finding the boat.
    He no longer had a death wish or really believed in offing yourself when you could get things accomplished while alive.

    His speech with the two suicide lovers was testament to that.

    Are you fucking stupid ?! How the hell would Kenny have gotten out of all those walkers. He's dead !!! Jesus you people are stupid, always wishing for stuff you know know damn well ain't gonna happen.

    It's not a particularly unreasonable hope that Kenny is alive.

    There have been definitely some worse ones.

    Lee's bite was a scratch and Carly surviving the gunshot to the dome.
    I'm sure there's more denial..

    But... Unlike those two events Kenny's demise was insinuated and was shown off screen. ANd it's the first time a death of an important character wasn't displayed in spades. Also the wording of his fate at the end. Lost could be taken in many different contexts.

    Also tone it down man. Don't be a dick.

    I hated Kenny, given his past actions, but the events of Episode 5 have given me a ton of respect for him.

    You must live kenny! Nooo!
  • edited November 2012
    I mentioned this in another thread but i'll put it here as well. Did it not bug anyone that if Kenny was just going to shoot Ben (the right and obvious thing to do) why wouldn't he just say a quick sorry and get back with Lee. Seems like they suspended logic just to "kill" Kenny off.
  • edited November 2012
    Well, do we really see him die?

    In my game it looked like he wasted a shot on a walker... though Lee told C/O that Kenny gave Ben a mercy shot.
  • edited November 2012
    After lee gets back on the roof, you can say "Maybe he did manage to escape"

    So maybe thats a clue to him surviving?
    why didnt they look over the edge to see his body?
  • edited November 2012
    They killed Kenny... the bastards...

    well it is the last episode, they had to get rid of most people in that. I think Kennys end was ok in my playthrough (he really wanted to save Ben to make it right, he didn't want to give up on Ben).

    Giving him the bullets didn't help. But you can hear more than one gunshot on your way up. I don't think it really makes a difference, but maybe some people still have more hope in that scenario :D

    Because he's the hero that Lee and Clementine deserve, but not the one they need right now. So the walkers will hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark kenny

    Can't believe Kenny died, I don't really believe it cause he faced a lot worse shit

    I echo this.

    I hated his guts at the end of episode 4 but in this one he seemed to have redeemed himself a little bit. Even though in my game, Lee and Kenny didn't quite see eye to eye on everything, I wanted him to be there till the end.

    I know a lot of people hated Kenny throughout the entirety of the season. And I don't blame you, he is kind of a jerk. But in my playthrough Kenny and Lee had a total bromance going on. He would call me pal, we hated on Ben together, gab about Lilly being a bitch, murder Larry, etc.

    So, after Kenny gets "lost" in the herd, and Christa asks me if I want to talk about it, Lee mentions something along the lines of "we were kind of assholes together". So true man, so true. Other than Lee's death, Kenny's was the one that most got to me. I would have felt happy about the ending (well, as happy as you can get with TWD) if Clem was able to go away with Kenny as her protector.

    He did the most heroic thing in the entire season. He sacrificed himself for the one he hated most.

    Kenny's death (at least when Ben is alive) sucked.

    I helped Kenny shoot the kid in the attic, but Kenny didn't learn that sometimes the right thing to do is to shoot someone and move on. Fortunately Clem learned that lesson and shot Lee in the head, but I wish Kenny had learned it, too (and I thought he had).

    I thought Kenny was going down to give Ben a few words of comfort (since Kenny understood Ben better after their fight) and then shoot him in the head.

    Kenny did the right thing by Ben, a guy he hated, and I respect him for that. However, he abandoned Clem, just like Katjaa abandoned Kenny. I thought Kenny was better than that. I don't think the writers were fair to him by having him choose to die right after his speech about how people shouldn't give up.
