I don't get why Kenny is calling Vernon and his friends
Thieves or Bad Guys in the finale. I get it they stole Kenny's last hope he had, but Vernon and his friends are good people just trying to survive in a ZA. Christa was right, they would have done the same thing. Imo I find it karma for Kenny wanting to steal from the Campman's family car in Ep 2

I'm not supporting Kenny and I agree with karma thing.
About your question, I think there is a major difference between both situations.
All two of them are stealing.
But the second one is something like your neighbour robbed your own house.
I mean, they show Vernon their boat themselves, and they trust him to get away with this info.
In the end, I'm in complete aggreement with Christa. This is ZA, and no one is clean enough (except LeeME :P).
And the other guy pretends to be a friend and gives you no heads up that the city is about to overrun with walkers. Then steals your boat.
The boat gave no appearance of being abandoned except when WE found it. Vernon knew it belonged to us, that we planned to use the boat and had to kick Kenny's ass to take it by force.
These are two different situations as trd84 pointed out. I still think it was out of character for Vernon and his cancer group to do such a thing and they fucked us. However, I also realize that we are the ones who brought a massive herd of walkers to their little paradise so maybe it's all even up...I don't know.
Lilly took stuff too you know.
The situations are different. I understand Campman wanted to find his kid so he was in a hurry, but come on! Door open, lights on. Too bad for him. Vernon knew you had it, dissed your plan for it and then took it. A dirtbag at work.
I totally agree. I believed that the boat was stolen because no one in my group stayed behind (Ben = dead) but I was kind of shocked to find out that Vernon takes the boat in EVERY situation. Not only is it implausible, I do think it's wrong. Taking from that car was not wrong though - the lights were on, the door open, THE KEYS IN THE CAR! This isn't day 2 of the apocalypse either, it's three months in. The stranger KNEW there were other people around too and was very naive. Taking from a guarded boat is completely different.
That's not just theft it's betrayal.
From what I saw in ep 4, their group is a lot larger than five people, even without Brie. Joke's on them.
Besides, I never really had any faith in the boat plan.
^This. It's a ZA, everyone's focusing on surviving. If they see an unguarded van fill with food and supplies, of course they would automatically think that the owner didnt make it. So I think it was stupid of the stranger to leave it like that and just blame everything in our group.
Seeing as the boat holds probably 4 at most.... you do make an excellent point.
With the amount of supplies Vernon's group had at the fallout shelter, they could probably fill the entire boat to the brim with just food, and they're going to need at least a decent amount of it.
He either feels bad about stealing it but sees it as a necessity(honest) and wants the group to at least know what's transpired, or he's angry and wants to rub it in your face that he took it from you(threatened him).
Those are my guesses, at least. Vernon and his rag tag group of survivors clearly wouldn't last long in Savannah without that underground bunker, so i suppose he saw the boat as his only choice for survival.
It's not like they could be caught easily, since that was probably the only functional boat in existence in the city.
They were a bunch of dickheads and like I said before, I hope they end up REALLY, REALLY regretful as long as they can survive on the sea before they run out of supplies.
But then again... Did I take the supplies in the station wagon? Why, yes I did. But at that time we didn't even know if who the owner of it is or if he/she was even alive. Vernon knew the whole group and cared about Clementine. He still took it. Suck my dick, Vernon.
"You know the worst thing? I don't feel much, or not enough at least. I should be taking Brie's death to heart but I'm just taking it in strides..."
What really pisses me off is how he says, not in my main playthrough but one of my others, that I'm not a suitable parent for Clem because I don't "strike him as a man that cares for others" but then soon afterwords he betrays me and my people.
Or hopefully Molly replaced the battery with a broken one
Or perhaps one that will slowly build up power over time... until it EXPLODES. I think you can tell, by my knowledge of batteries, who I saved in Episode 1.
I can also tell by your profile picture
