Kenny isn't that bad
To start this up, I'm not a hardcore Kenny fanboy. If you like Luke and hate Kenny (and want his voice actor to hang himself which some of you said) then that's fine by me. Each to their own, right?
However, I feel I need to "correct" some of your claims of him as a person. Let's start up:
Kenny isn't selfish:
Imagine if Kenny didn't take the blame for the walkie-talkie, what would've happened to Clem? Do you think some 11 year old girl could handle that kind of beating? You can go ahead and say that she would be fine with it, but she wouldn't.
Kenny is an "enemy maker":
Correct, he doesn't trust a lot of people anymore, not after Ben betrayed them and got his family killed. But think about before that happened? He was nice to Lee at the first time he met him, the same with Hershel and Shane. And him being like "We should take this place over, our guns can handle a couple of punks with bows and arrows." is because he was smart enough to understand that something was not right about those st.johns.
I just wanted to put this out.

Hail Kenny, full of Boats, the Stache is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst Urbans and blessed is the fruit of the loins, Duck.
Holy Kenny, father of Duck, pray for us shitbirds now and in the hour of our bite.
Amen.
Kenny is love, Kenny is life!
In Season 1, there wasn't anything you could do to make her dislike you or be mad at you. It was a great relationship, but it felt kind of "static".
I know that's what Telltale intended, but the Lee/Clem relationship just isn't as dynamic, spicy, controversial or gripping as the one of Lee/Kenny.
That was my most disliked post ever.
I mean, if you don't agree with him once, he leaves you to die under a door, and he tries to leave Lilly behind before she did anything wrong.
If he were fully selfless, he wouldn't leave people to their deaths regardless of whether they were perennially nice to him or not.
I mean, he leaves Lee, who is the protector of Clementine, to *die* because he doesn't help him murder someone. That's just....not cool.
Note, you trying to save Larry could put his family at risk at that time.
As the wiki says, Kenny had to kill a man for the good of the group and his family's safety. When Lee didn't help him with that and opted to put his family at risk then that was the last straw for Ken.
Was Ben still a direct threat to his family?
Is petty revenge more important than saving a little child's life? Because to Ken, it is.
Is your friend refusing to kill him enough of a reason to let a little girl die? Er, no.
If you don't drop Ben and were punched by Kenny, he doesn't come with you. Like literally, if he tries to beat you up on the train and you refuse to murder someone, he'll be perfectly willing to let a little child die.
Regardless of how Lee treated him, a truly *good* person would help you find her no matter what, as he has no other baggage or things to protect like Omid and Christa did.
Seriously I'm happy he is back but OMFG seriously stop doing that!
If he really cared about clem, that wouldn't be necessary.
