Which group do you like better?

edited March 2014 in The Walking Dead

I know it has only been two episodes in this game, but which group do you think was strongest. Season 1's or season 2's cabin group?
I like both, but I would say the cabin group because the other one had a lot of problems. Lilly shooting Carley, Ben hiding the fact that he took the supplies. Plus they argued a lot on everything. If it weren't for Lee, the season 1 group may have had a lot of troubles with keeping clem safe. Well, I don't know really.

    S2 group is better, the season 1 group were just a bunch of people who didn't like each other trying to make it, but as Clementine states they didn't do very well.
    The season 2 group is more of a democracy than the season 1 group which was just a big power struggle between Lilly and Kenny.
    And even suggesting a woman like Lilly that didn't mind letting Clementine die in the streets of Macon be a leader is just crazy.
    Btw I don't think the seasons 2 group actions of locking Clementine in the shed was the brightes idea but it was the safest, you're allowed to be paraniod when a little infection killed most of the worlds population,

  • I feel the same way.

  • That's a thoughy . But seriously both are equal.I just cannot point the diff.

  • The season 2 group seems more...functional. I'd credit that to the fact that this group has probably been going for nearly two years, while the season 1 group was still figuring things out in the early days of the apocalypse.

    As for which has the more interesting characters, not sure yet.

    Me after playing Season 2 - Episode 1: I like the Season 1 group better because Kenny was in it...

    But in all seriousness now, i liked the Season1 group alot more.

    Season 1, because I felt more like a member of the group. The season 2 crew has yet to be fully explored, so we'll see what happens. They made a horrible first impression.. but I'm warming up to 'em.

  • Season 1 group.

    Is it, though? While I would agree that was a seriously cold thing to do and don't agree at all with her decision, it was ultimately for the preservation of the group. I bring this up because, when watching playthroughs of the game and such, or watching debates over things in the show like that time Rick let a defenseless and screaming guy die in the streets, people seem to blur the lines of what is right and what is wrong a whole lot, especially as it pertains to sacrificing people.

    I'm always quick to mention Kenny wanting to let that girl get eaten alive as a sign of his supreme dickishness (not to mention the determinant action of allowing Lee to fend for himself and possibly get killed directly after), but a lot of people either wholeheartedly agree with him in the game (and of course were pissed with Lilly and Larry wanting the group kept out) or try to defend his actions. But is there really any difference between that and Lilly being willing to "do the hard thing" (which is what the former is often called) by letting a group with kids die to preserve the current group, besides one concerning Clementine and the other concerning a girl we don't know? Or between Lilly's actions and Rick's, where people justified it by saying that you just never know who could be dangerous in the world of TWD, which was Lilly's logic as well?

    I guess my overall point is, where does "doing the hard thing" (and being thought a leader for it) end and "doing horrible things to people" (and being thought unfit to be a leader as a result) begin?

    Just something to think about.

  • Season 1 group because, other than Nick, none of the new group members have had significant character development.

    1. What do you mean Luke being "too trusting"? I thought that was one of his qualities that made people like him? Or do you mean, "trusting to the point of putting Clem in danger"? 'Cause I might actually agree with that, although Clem likes it when people don't underestimate her, so there's that...

    2. Rebecca's not the one who organized the escape. That was Luke, from the sounds of it, which led to the whole chase, along with Carver just being a possessive ass. That's not on Rebecca.

    3. I don't think it's too fair to use her anxiety as a strike against her, as that's not something that can just be gotten over like nothing, and being "clueless" is more a matter of being sheltered by Carlos. Judging by how she actually notices when things are dangerous all around, I'd say she's at least more self-aware than Duck, who was just a silly kid because he was a silly kid.

    I'd argue that Luke kind of had. Still, nowhere near S1 levels.

    Season 1 group because, other than Nick, none of the new group members have had significant character development.

  • Difficult to say, because I like them both for different reasons. The S1 group was a bunch of clashing misfits, loud personalities, and it fit well with the chaos of trying to cope in the early days of the apocalypse. S2 is well into the apocalypse and while this group has less conflict, there's a lot more sadness and secrecy, which works well with the themes of S2.

    I can't pick a favorite because I feel like they both serve their separate purposes for the stories they're telling. However, I've grown very attached to the S2 group, but that's only because I played through S1 in a week and didn't have all this time to feel lots of feelings.

  • The Cabin Group is definitely the stronger group but they've known each other for 2 years while Season 1 was a bunch of strangers trying to come to terms with things. Season 1 has had it's full 5 episodes and thus a bunch of interesting characters though... however I suspect we'll be seeing more characters/400 dayers in the next episode.

  • Season 2 cabin group, because Season 1 group had people fighting all the time, most notably Kenny - Lilly. Season 2 group just knows how to relax with Luke, Alvin, (and Pete...).
