Opinion about Kenny
So there are a lot of speculation about who the person that Clementine recognize in the coming episode 2. Many think it is Kenny, Lily or others. It is (almost) confirmed by Telltale that Kenny will appear in Season 2. Let's say he appears, what do you think about the character? Would you like to have him in Season 2?
I for one really like the character back in season 1. Like Clementine and Lee, he also receive much character development and has been around since episode 1, meaning you have the longest rapport with him whatever you like it or not. I can easily understand Kenny and his flaws. It is easy to understand that he values his family, since they are his motivation. He is also resourceful as he repaired the RV and the boat, understanding the mechanic behind the train, along with having leadership capabilities.
I really felt bad for him when his family died and how he was helpless to prevent it from happening. You can understand that he completely lost his reasoning for staying alive and uses the boat goal as his sole motivation to keep going. It is understandable that he would be very angry at Ben for indirectly causing the death of his family. Yet, he is capable of forgiving Ben once he learned more about how Ben must feel of not knowing his family's whereabouts.
I would really like to see more of the character since he creates tension and dynamic about the survivors. You can relate to him and his flaws, because that makes him human. I would also be very interested in knowing how he survived the walkers or if he survived at all. At best, he will appear in the game, at worst he will appears as a walker or only mentioned.
So that's my opinion, what do you think? Is it a good or bad thing that/if Kenny is in the game?

Kenny would be a good surprise...but he kinda became a punk when I refused to smash Larry's head in. Started leaving me for dead and shit.
Kenny's the perfect choice.(maybe not to be inserted in that moment, but in season 2 in general) He's season 1's most tailored character. If anything can be brought back from season 1 to remind you of your choices the most, it'd be kenny.
And he is either in people's top 5 five or bottom five list so he'll bring a lot of heat with him too. And telltale can take him into any direction. He can be that hardened asshole who turns against her, or becomes this soft guy who feels he owes a lot to her. Both possibly through his former relation to her guardian. He can very easily be season 2's nicest guy or biggest asshole depending on what telltale want to do with him.
I disagree I think Kenny probably had the most development out of everyone in season 1. He went through numerous stages, who else did we see go through all those changes
