If he WAS bitten, i think an interesting way to bring him back would be for our new group to stumble upon him unconscious after cutting his arm off. We could patch him up and save his life, and offer him a place among our ranks. He could tell us how he got there, what happened after the alley/dark room scenes and hear pieces of his ordeals in Season 1 as the episodes go on. We could see some examples of him trying to adjust to living without his family, and seeing him protecting others more often and caring for them, something he rarely did in Season 1.
I think they knew, and probably wanted it to happen. Just like the shadowy figures at the end of episode 5, they want to make people speculate. If they wanted no doubt that Kenny died, they would have shown us his death directly(like Carley/Doug) or his corpse afterward(Katjaa/Chuck).
In remembrance.
Kenny is probably the best character that can come back in Season 2 to make our choices matter, since he was there with Lee from the beginning almost to the very end. The only NPC to make it farther than Kenny was Clementine herself. Having Kenny come back to tell us of Lee's exploits and choices, and what exactly he thought of the man, would be a good way to bring back everyone's favorite moustachioed redneck and make our choices matter at the same time. Of course, bringing him back would be some pretty cruel punishment, considering everything that happened in Season 1he would now have to live with, and the general "Fuck all of you" attitude that the Walking Dead universe has.
It's the non-spoiler part of the forum, so I mark my whole post as a spoiler, if however you have played the game to the very ending, you have nothing to be afraid of.
Well I don't quite know how to answer the question in the title and initial post, frankly I'd need more time to think myself, but I can tell what would be a shitty way to re-introduce him in S2. By making him be one of the 2 characters in the after-credits-scene, or even worse make the other one, a person out of the S1 group as well. That'd be a cheap way to do so, I'd rather have it be an epic moment, or not even that, but an unexpected moment. Maybe the group would find his hat somewhere, in an abandoned city part perhaps, then they'd go searching the closer environment to find him, but they wouldn't... only clues that'd suggest his death, although no body would be to find nearby. Then, maybe whole two episodes later, when he is totally forgotten, in midst of some ultra-exiting part of the story, where he is the last thing you think about, he appears. How? Maybe Clem is about to be bitten, but the walker's head pops? Or maybe bandits take her, or are about to execute her, then their heads pop? Something like that, that was just a vague idea of how I could imagine it for instance.
But I'm not even sure if I even want him back in S2. At least I want to have closure and clarity in the case.
I understand you. For you, and approximately somewhat around 50% of all players it would make sense, for the others though it wouldn't. If they made it depending on decisions then everyone would be happy I guess.
You would have to have Omid or Christa with you though when you came across him, as they were the ones with him when he "died", and talking to them would be the best way to explain how he got away without it feeling forced.
With that said, I'm not sure I want to see Kenny return. I love the character and his storyline, but he's been pretty well developed by this point and I'm not sure what all else you could do with him. If he returns, I'd rather it be as a cameo or smaller role (whether he dies or chooses to stay alone and move on). As it is, I'm happy with his death, even if it is ambiguous.. in fact, I think I like that better than if it were to actually show him get torn apart. There was something so sad and eerie about him walking into the unknown and never seeing him again.
If he was not bitten, then he comes back Rambo style UNSTOPPABLE, but dies saving Clem and blows up hundreds of walkers in the end of his story.
The first episode could be a viewing of her escape from town, leading up to the point that we've seen. Maybe Clem will witness Kenny once again on her way out, either turned or bit. With all of his responsibilities stripped and already seeing him come to terms with his issues, I don't think we can expect much beyond a cameo from him due to a lack of remaining character development.
If he has amazingly survived unscathed I don't think he'll be staying close to our major characters for too long.
This:
Kenny: Lee...Lee! Wake up already we sail soon! You can sleep in the boad as long as you want.
Lee: *Yawning* Damn...*Yawning* Clem?
Clementine: Yes?
Lee: Be ready...
I mean that it's imposible.
Eventually, he sees Lee and Clem walking out alive, and starts heading down over to them to get them to follow. He gets stopped, however, by an undead Molly on the rooftops and has to face her first.
After dealing with Molly, he finds Lee had passed out and Clem trying to drag his body along with no avail. He then climbs down the drags him through the door of an old jewelry store, pushing Clem inside and closing it, telling her, "Just get the hell out of here!" I'll meet you out of this goddamn town!"
That would explain the sounds of the walkers if you listened while Clem was waking Lee, and would explain how a 9 year old girl dragged an old black male into a store and closed the garage-style door they couldn't open together.
Anyway, either that would lead to Kenny'd death as he was surrounded by walkers, or maybe the new protagonist who was watching both sides saves him. If not, maybe he barely outmanuevers them and makes it back to the rooftops, making sure to make his/their way out of Savannah.
You could either play as Kenny or the new protagonist.
That is the main way I see it going, and so then you could have Kenny and the other person on the hill-side, or give the new protagonist an introduction. At the very least it would close Kenny off for good, no speculations, nothing. He'd be dead.
your'e in the denial stage, get over it
Man.. I feel like part of me would be thrilled if that happen and the part would feel insulted that I felt all those emotions at the end for nothing.
I think you're in the denial stage here, friend. It's ok if you hate Kenny(tons of people do)but that doesn't magically make him die.
What? To think that Kenny is dead and hate him are two different things. I like Kenny, but I sure that he's dead.
Thinking that he is dead is fine, but telling other people who think otherwise that they are wrong is not.
I will be happy whether Kenny lives or dies, but i do not claim that either side is fact(which is false for the time being). Someone who really loves or hates Kenny would be more likely to say such a thing for whichever side they want to be true.
i do not hate kenny, i simply can't see how he could make it alive, and how i can be in the denial stage about someone being alive??? thank you
Not really, it says "lost" instead of died. It means just as much as Christa & Omid's panels saying "separated after crossing the sign", or Lilly's "stole the RV and was never seen again".
He wouldn't be his old self because he doesn't have a family to protect anymore. If Katjaa and Duck were still alive no way in hell would Kenny ever jump down to save Christa or Ben, and he'd probably refuse to join the search for Clementine as well(unless Katjaa could persuade him). I think we'd see a different type of Kenny where he defends and cares for other people, something he rarely did in Season 1.
