I don't really have any problems with Becca. I'm still a teenager so I remember being that young and I know a lot of people that age who are a whole lot worse than her who I have to deal with on a daily basis. She's not a bad kid, just ignorant of real dangers to herself.
My only real problem with her character is I see her being killed in Season 2 for the purpose of Shel's character development, as well as anyone else who's gotten close to her by that point.
If Becca was there instead of Ben, there would have been no difference. "I'm sorry, I had to give the bandits supplies because they had my Barbie Doll and they would burn it if I didn't..."
I don't see how that applies. People are complaining about her being brash and cold, not grossly incompetent.
Becca is a teenager for goodness sake what do you expect her to act like everyone expects all the kids in the game to act like Clem well Becca is what like 13-14 and Clem is 9 so they're gonna act different
I don't hate Becca, I think I dislike her because of just how much she's different than Clementine. Clem holds out on being innocent, and having hope that one day things will get back to normal. This is pretty much the exact opposite of Becca. Becca has grown cold and quite annoying, to be honest.

Maybe she is like that because she is 12-14 years old , much older than Clem . Not every kid is going to be hopeful and innocent like Clem you know ? Also she is just a child who is in a world of pain and suffering , many kids would be like that in real life if a Zombie Apocalypse happened .
How she doesn't live up to her words really gets to me. She doesn't hesitate to say that she would kill stephanie, then realizes she has no balls to do so in the first place. Cannot believe Shel is related to her.

That's actually why I don't have a problem with Becca. She acts cold and tough as a front, but she's really just a scared kid trying to cope with all the death and horror and stuff.
I hate becca because she's a rude, nasty little skank. Very mouthy aswell. If I get a chance to kill her in season two (If she's in there), Im taking it.
She's basically a female version of Kenny. A coward who acts like she's trying to protect the group but only cares about herself.
You are comparing a teenager with Kenny ? You know , Becca din't crush Stephanie's head with a salt lick , and also Kenny may of been a coward but in the end if you dropped Ben , he will save Christa . A true coward would of never risked his life for a woman he doesn't care about .
he will save Christa . A true coward would of never risked his life for a woman he doesn't care about .
Umm it was his fault Christa jumped down that hole anyways! If it weren't for his ugly ass, Lee wouldn't have dropped the walkie talkie. Sorry to burst your bubble but Christa is the real hero here.

Kenny din't force her to jump down and get the walkie talkie , it was her choice and it was a dumb move for a woman who is expecting a baby soon .
He said he was sorry that he made the wakie fall, and he jumped in there when he saw that Christa was not going to get out without help from someone, that is something a true hero would do.
It was his fault she was in any danger in the first place. And a true hero wouldn't have committed suicide-by-Ben when there was little girl who needed saving.
I didn't have a problem with Becca and am a bit surprised the hatred for her seems so intense amongst folks. Sure, she was a bit annoying and seemed like a cold brat but I found that easy to understand as well. They all have their way of coping with shit and I thought it was nice to see the "anti-Clementine". That this world could have this kind of effect on people and make them seemingly cold. Big part of Becca's attitude seems to be just an act anyways. Some people do put up a tough front when they are dealing with harsh situations but in reality, they aren't like that. She's also in her early teens. Teenagers tend to be the rebellious ones who want themselves to be regarded as more mature than they are. Seems to be the case with Becca. She thinks this is how things are supposed to go now and thus puts up this "tough girl" attitude but in reality she's still a scared youngster.

Understanding Becca's situation and accepting her attitude are two different things. It's like with Lilly, Larry, or the Stranger. Sure, I understand why they are the way they are but it still doesn't mean I should like them any more just because there's an explanation behind their personality. There's an explanation behind everyone's personality. I just hate them for having those shitty personalities, regardless of the origin.
I understand all of the things you're talking about but I still have a problem with Becca. In fact, I find myself disliking her more because she's faking that "tough girl" attitude. If she were simply a callous asshole through and through, I would hate her but mostly ignore her because there's nothing worth salvaging about those characters. Knowing that there is a small part of her that is might be genuinely good makes her failure to show it that much more frustrating. And being scared and putting up a "tough girl" attitude doesn't justify hurting those around you with that attitude.
I know what you mean but if I were you, I would save that hatred for something like bandits or Lilly or something for evil then 12 year old girl that acts like she is tough.
DomeWing333 - Understandable. "Hate" is just such a powerful word for me. There's pretty much no character I'd hate in TWDG because I still find them good characters and Becca, tough I too might find her annoying, has potential to bring interesting elements to this mess. I just don't personally agree with some people who pretty much wish her to die while there's certainly bigger villains around than her. Doesn't mean you have to like her tough and I too would like her to fix the attitude. I may understand her and even somewhat like her as a character but that doesn't mean I'd accept everything she does either.
Oh totally. I definitely don't want her to die any time soon. She's far too good of a foil to Clementine for that. And she does have the potential to redeem herself, certainly. But as of now, her role to me is that of the Larry of the group: the team member that you hate but still have to put up with. I wouldn't shoot her on the spot if I had the chance to or anything, but I would probably lean towards saving someone else over her if it ever came down to it.
Well the stereotype is right here somewhat, I know teenagers that act like Becca, and for the record Ben pretty much broke that stereotype pretty badly.
Comments
But the best insults are based upon fact...
True, and he also has a lemon face most of the time, like Becca.
Russell, despite being a bit of a tosser at times, doesn't irk me like Becca does, but I certainly didn't like his comment either; it was assy.

I hate her, but still, I guess I understand her.

Funny thing is that you sound just like her

Maybe because she acts like a teenager would in that situation?
