Difference in ****?
DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED WALKING DEAD SEASON 2 EPISODE 2
In the Walking Dead game in Season 2 Episode 2, what does everybody mean when they say that Kenny seems different compared to in season 1? I don't really notice anything but everyone seems to say that he's changed.
How has he changed?
Sorry, I suck at reading people. Really curious, please tell!

He has a beard now.
Nothing, he's the same old Kenny(I hope so).
I think we'll get the full picture of him in ep 3.
well with the new beard he has ascended to godhood so he changed in the regard
It's difficult to imagine Ep.2 Kenny lived all that shit on Season 1...
He seems more... experienced?
Oh my god.
Well there were many " strange " Kenny moments in episode2.
I will list some of the moments for you:
For example, when you tell him that Christa told you that he is dead he will make a very weird joke saying " I am dead, this is all a dream! ". Not to mention the long and conspicuous pause Kenny makes after saying that he was alone for a very long time.
And most importantly, Kenny confused Clem with Duck at the dinner table. This might be a hint, that Kenny still couldn't deal with the pain and sorrow of losing Duck and Katja and trys to replace them with Sarita and Clem.
Anyway...Kenny was my Bro in Season1 and i will do everything i can to support him though this hard time, in Season2!
For me, the problem is that he's TOO similar to how he was. He's still protecting those he considers to be his family (Sarita and Clem) and wants to get them to safety (Wellington). Compared to him protecting his family in Season 1 (Katjaa and Duck) and wanting to get them to safety (at sea, on the boat). He's doing the same exact thing again, because he's stuck in the past. He never really moved on from Episode 3 last Season, and he's trying to rebuild the past rather than focus on the future.
At least, I think so. Otherwise it's just too similar to his Season 1 story in a bad way.
Jesus Man Im from Florida, Crazy shit just comes out my mouth sometimes sorry.
Yeah, this seems like it!
Well, you are right about almost everything you said here. Kenny is still stuck in the past and he did never really move forward from the events of episode3...
But Kenny has changed in some ways, he seems to care alot more about other people that are not part of his family, than he did in Season1 (In my opinion, that's because of his redemption in Episode5). He has grown a godlike beard and doesn't seem to care about his outer that much anymore (well it's a fucking apocolypse...who cares right!?). And most importantly, he has become a alot stronger man and better survivor! He has shown some godlike shoting skills in episode2 and i am pretty damn sure he became better at fistfighting aswell!
He is more protective in season 2 this is because of what happened to duck in season 1 so Kenny has changed and at the scene where Kenny say "Pass me that can duck" this mean he is still suffering from the pain which happened 2 years back. And by the way at the end of season 1 Clem was 9 and in season 2 she is 11.
i'm not so sure about caring about other people more... he doesn't even give a 2nd thought to killing the guy by the window, and even after walter gets shot, he tries again getting alvin killed too, then comes sarita and he finally sees reason.
Kenny seems kind of unstable to me. I think, after all this time, he still hasn't accepted that his family is gone. His protective behavior towards Sarita is probably a result of the fact that he couldn't keep Katjaa and Duck out of harm's way, and is trying in whatever way he can to keep Sarita safe. Even if it's just keeping her from doing a bit of light physical work. (ex. lifting boxes)
His overly cheerful behavior seems forced, the way he tries to crack jokes at the dinner table with Luke and Nick was unsettling to me. I think he might be trying to block out any past trauma he might have instead of dealing with it head-on. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having a complete breakdown in a later episode. Maybe then we'll find out what really happened to him after Savannah, or through Sarita.
His ornery attitude when confronted is definitely something I would say hasn't changed from S1 though. His stubbornness too, especially when it comes to someone disagreeing with his plans. Also, his motivations, which are to protect those he considers his family, which right now I would think are Sarita and Clem. ((the only people who he would surrender for if Carver threatens to execute them))
Yes, this was the answer I have been looking for! I had also sense something similar to what you just said, just that I couldn't put a finger on what it was, so thank you for clearing it up!
The difference is noticable when you see him interacting with Sarita. In Season 1 he would leave Katjaa on her own, let her handle the injured on her own and even trusted her to go alone with their infected son. Now on the other hand he comes off as overly-doting towards Sarita, even becoming a bit aggressive "for her sake," to keep her out of harm's way. Likewise he becomes really upset/deeply hurt when he perceives that Clementine isn't siding with him. I mean, he was always sort of like that, but it's definitely more severe now.
Geez, inappropriate jokes are nothing new for Kenny. Need I remind people of the "come and rape our women and children" one he made regarding Ben standing watch, that one time he and Lee went out on the supply run in season 1? You can tell that presently there are things he's still struggling with but otherwise he seems the same personality wise. Now had he managed to have a civil conversation with the likes of Nick, I would've been concerned.
Yeah.. He's become like a foil to his former self. A lot of his notable traits from S1 have been amplified. It's the same thing all over again, with the boat being Wellington, Katjaa being Sarita, and now Clementine as Duck. They're all replacements.
Wouldn't surprise me if he calls Sarita by Katjaa's name on accident next, ouch.
The "come rape our women and children," was less a joke and more a line where he was mocking Ben since he still saw him as a child. The table joke was forced, but it felt more like an awkward attempt to make calm the situation.
Fair point, but the slightly creepy and drawn-out laugh he did after the peaches and beans joke is what really set off warning alarms for me.
What really bothered me was his weird laugh. That was.... uncomfortable.
It's not as if that was the only way he could voice his skepticism for having a puny teenager on guard. Joke or not, inappropriate commentary is part of what comes with the whole Kenny package.
