(EP4) How did your opinion on _____ change?

Oh, and I'm talking about Kenny.

After episode 3, I was kind of against Kenny, but seeing him flip out on Clementine and talk about his beating and shouting at Luke... kind of made me respect him a bit more.

The man's been through more shit than anyone in the group, maybe equal to Clem. He lost his family and his 'lover'. He's pissed off that everyone keeps talking about his mental health.

And he's a good father. When we finally saw a little bit of happiness out of Kenny I smiled. When he was holding that baby, I thought that it'd be the 'real' start of his new family. Kenny mentions in episode 4 that Clementine looks like a big sister when she holds the baby. Now he has two kids that he would risk anything for. I respect him for that.

So, what are your new thoughts on Kenny?

Comments

  • I was really mad at him for being that way towards Clementine... but I was able to get his forgiveness and my Clem was nice to him... even though he really didn't deserve it.

  • I liked it. He was really mad and went through the stages of grief very quickly and at once, then when he realized that the baby was coming, a new hope rose in him and he now has one more thing other than Clem to fight for. It'll be very interesting to see how it turns out for him.

  • Blaming Clementine? I will always trust him but that kinda annoyed me.

  • It pissed me off when he yelled at me.

  • Sticking with Kenny till the end

  • Well, let's put it this way; if there'll be a ice cream or pizza- decision, I'll go with pizza

  • I'm still fuming about the 'YOU KILLED SARITA' outburst which he never apologized for. Clem is a little girl. That may tip her over the edge, knowing that Sarita died because of her. I don't want that in her head AT ALL. He was so mean about it.

    On the other hand, I can find room in my heart to forgive him. He redeemed himself by trying to be a good substitute father after a tragic loss. My respect for him has grown a little.

  • I wasn't even pissed at him, I actually felt sorry for him.
    Yes he had his moments, but he wasn't as bad as Luke, I have no idea why everyone is getting angry at him.

  • I thought his outburst at Clem was uncalled for. I wonder if he's still that furious even if you don't cut Sarita's arm off.
    Also I really hope he isn't going insane. Buuut after seeing how obsessive he's acting over the baby, it kinda seems like he is.

    Still sticking with him, though, 'cause I just really don't feel anything for the rest of the cast at this point.

  • He's not angry.
    If you see after Rebecca delivers the baby he becomes much more kinder.

    And I don't think he's going insane, at least not yet. He seems to be somewhat sane.

  • I was pissed at him for snapping at Clem like that, especially since he blamed her for Sarita's death, and knowing already how much Clem probably blames herself for Lee and Omid's deaths, I was pissed off he did that to her.

    I did find it cute and nice that he was finally able to cheer up and be happy when the baby was born, but it started getting a bit weird how clingy he was to it, and how he kept acting like it was his child when it was Rebecca's baby. But with what happened with Rebecca... looks like he's going to take care of it. For the most part though, the episode didn't really change my opinion about Kenny much.

  • He was broken when Sarita died but the baby keeps him going. But if somethings happen to the baby... I don't think he will be able to handle it.

  • I'm getting a little tired of Kenny. His outburst with Sarita was understandable up until he up and went to leave Clementine to the heard out of anger. Leaving an adult to die in Season 1 in a few occasions was one thing, but he ups and leaves an eleven year old girl to die for having to make a choice with a bitten group member.

    For someone who wants to keep Clementine as a surrogate child back in Episode 2 he was all too eager to up and abandon her too quickly.

  • I didn't cut the arm, and he told me I let her die. I was about to cry there, let alone Clem.

  • Eh. He was irrational and upset, and he lashed out at the person nearest to him. I don't hold any grudges.

  • At this point I'm of seeing Kenny go through grief. Its like telltale loves him enough to keep him alive but hates him enough to make the man's survival a living hell. If there will be another season I wouldn't be surprised if Kenny turns out to be the main character. As for my opinion about Kenny well i respect him for being strong. The man lost his son, wife, and now second love and he's still trying to survive.

  • Don't act like you don't get pissed off or stop thinking in the heat of the moment. I didn't mind Kenny yelling at me because everyone will always look for a scapegoat in the heat of the moment. When everyone calms down a bit, that's when people start making sense.

  • Kenny held it together. He was angry at me for chopping Sarita which, like he said, I didn't have the right to do. He came through when Rebecca was in pain and the baby was coming, and he called Luke out on his petty shit and said that the baby is what matters now. Respected Kenny before, respect him even more now.

  • I wasn't that upset at Kenny for yelling at Clem. In my game he had to watch as Clem buried a hatchet in Sarita's skull right in front of him while surrounded by thousands of zombies. He didn't have any time to come to terms with it until after everyone got out of there so I easily forgave him. He's been through too much for him to be acting rationally when stuff like this happens.

  • i've always been thinking he's sorta odd and stuff. after he managed to get his stuff together in order to help rebecca get her baby i started to gain back some respect for him since that must've been hard after all that happened recently. but tbh in the end he began acting really creepy with the baby and stuff just like he started to get sorta obsessed with that poor little thing. so i'm back at where i was before, he so odd lol.

    i didn't like him from the beginning btw... even in season one, i had his back with lee whenever i could and then one thing happens where i just couldn't back him and he's totally freaking out on me like i were such a bad friend lol... don't know he's just to skittish for my personal taste.

  • I thought Kenny might shoot Clem right there and then lol, but that would never happen ofcourse. :)

  • Well , Kenny's actions led to Rebecca dying whereas Luke's had no consequences so..

  • So he gets angry at you no matter what? I figured that was the case god the choices don't matter at all in this game.

    I didn't cut the arm, and he told me I let her die. I was about to cry there, let alone Clem.

  • My opinion remains unchanged. I was pissed that he went off on us, but not surprised because that's how he rolls, and I still think he's losing it. I felt bad when he was beginning to sound suicidal and happy he found purpose with the baby, but then he starts going overboard on that too (he clearly is in need of another child figure in his life and will desperately latch onto Clem, the baby, whatever and proceed to get all irrational over it). Mostly, I'm just like...I don't know if I can deal with this guy and his mountain of issues.

  • I feel like if you axed Sarita (which I did) it was kind of like the saltlick scene. I feel like he was getting a taste of his own medicine even though he didn't deserve it.

  • I did on my first playthough and I agree

  • I didn't like him when he yelled at Clem, blamed her for Sarita's dead and when he said ''You think because you're a little girl you can just get people killed and no one will care? That because you're 'sorry' it'll all magically go away?'' He was an asshole at that moment. Clem looked so sad and scared, and he just continued to yell and blame her. After we got him out of the tent, he began to talk a little more nice to Clem, like when the baby were born, and Clem holded it, he said ''Look at you. Like a big sister'', i liked when he said that. I disliked him a little more than i used to, but i still don't hate him, still one of my favorite characters.

    At this point episode 4 was culminated in a sense of hopelessness and hope.

    Hope in the child.

    But also take a look at what's happened.

    Kenny has lost everything.
    Luke is the only survivor of the cabin group.

    Although honestly?
    Pete was alright. Carlos was a bag of dicks. Nick didn't matter. Sarah was slightly okay, but GODDAMN I wish I could've saved her, apex of character development. Alvin was the Carley of the group in his kind way. Rebecca had a total change of character and I actually liked her.

    Luke's been through some shit, made some mistakes, and is a nice guy, but I don't give a real big damn about the people he was with for the most part. If Nick had mattered, if Sarah could've at least parted on a better note, if Rebecca hadn't been a total bitch in Episode 1 and have a 360 in her character in Episode 2, if Carlos' medical decision wasn't (Shed), and if one of the better members of the Cabin group didn't die at the beginning, I'd feel alot more invested in these characters.

    And whoever they may have been before our brief glimpses of knowing them, doesn't matter cause we never saw it. We witnessed things with Kenny by our side, our group dissolving and dying. And I'll stick by that son of a bitch, thick or thin, because you know what? Kenny deserves it. And Clementine deserves it.
