Would it be considered bad writing if ****** did kill ******** ?
With the "deceasedLuke" file and Kenny's weird attitude if you ask him where Luke is, I'm starting to think that maybe Kenny did kill Luke for possession of Clementine. If he did, I would consider it bad writing because you can't stop the development of a character most of us love so an older character can have more characterization with his actions. I still don't think Luke is dead tho.

I don't think he went as far as killing him just because he wanted Clementine all for himself like she's a can of beans, However I do think Kenny gave him a good 'ol beating and left him unconscious somewhere which will allow Luke to come back and save the group later in the story
luke is out there ... somewhere, and we'll see him again
deceasedLuke is confirmed fake.
I could imagine that Luke has seen what is going on .... and because he is not so emotional as Kenny, he has remained out of sight, because he knew that he can't do much in this situation
Edit : certainly not without a weapon
I think everyone who uses that part at the end to justify the theory is horribly misinterpreting it. With what's been presented of current Kenny I don't think we have enough evidence to say he's that unstable. So for me it would be bad writing.
The only justification I could see for Kenny killing Luke, would be if it happened as a result of asking about Matthew. Consider it. We know Luke's poker face isn't that good and he wanted to keep quiet about Nick's involvement in it. Now picture hot headed Kenny trying to interrogate him. It's an explanation for Luke possibly being killed by Kenny that doesn't involve completely derailing the latter's character. Edit: On a somewhat related note does anyone remember if Luke got rid of the handgun he had? I don't remember seeing him taking it off at the door.
I don't believe that Kenny killed Luke.
Though, I do believe that Kenny threatened Luke and probably said something or more than one thing that was hurtful towards Luke, and it drove him off, or like SaltLick305 suggested, Kenny gave Luke a beating and left him unconscious.
Kenny feels threatened by Luke because Luke and Clementine have an obviously good bonding relationship and care for one another, shown more clearly when Clementine suggests to Kenny you go and find Luke and asks where Luke is when you go outside to find them. It is like Kenny wants a replacement for his son Duck, and Clementine fits the bill. Just like Sarita is like a replacement for Katjaa. Kenny doesn't want anyone, especially Luke as it is, to come between him and Clementine.
But I don't think Kenny killed him, and even if that was the case, which it is highly highly unlikely, it would be kind of stupid to kill a character, especially Luke's, off in that way.
I'm sorry, but Kenny is one of the worst fighters in The Walking Dead. His punches are so time-consuming and easily dodgeable that you would have to be obtuse to get hit by one. Kenny's punches aren't exactly powerful either as shown by him hitting Larry and failing epically by getting knocked out. Also this is about 2 years after these events so Kenny's older which is a drawback. Luke is faster, fitter, and stronger. Kenny is sort of... old. Which leaves me to believe that Kenny couldn't even give Luke a beating and leave him unconscious.
Kenny is clearly green with jealousy because of Luke and Clem's friendship. But yeah, he probably beat the shit out of Luke and left him for dead.
I like your name. ; P
Hey, I had this name before you even registered!
And I agree, But I never said I thought Kenny told Luke " hey how about we have a wrestling match see who wins " he could have easily hit Luke in the head with his rifle or deliver another cheap shot than finish kicking him (Like the Tweedles did in TWAU ). Nobody knows what happened yet so its all speculaion at this point until that scene is further explained.
I think Kenny and Luke saw everyone get captured by Carver, and when deciding on a course of action, both said different things. Luke wanted to run and possibly get more help, while Kenny wanted to go back immediately and try to save everyone. Kenny decided to inform Luke exactly where he could cram his idea, told him to take a hike, then went back alone while Luke left for parts unknown to get help.
This again!?
Nothing personal but, are you out of your fucking mind? This whole Kenny killed Luke theory is nuts! Did we even play the same game in Season1? Didn't you see Kenny's character development in Season1? He might have lost it a little bit, due to the fact the he lost his whole family and all the people he once cared about and because of the fact that he was surviving all on his own for a very long time, after that happened. But what would make you believe that Kenny killed Luke? A innocent person that didn't try to hurt Kenny, out of anger and envy...that's maybe what Lilly would have done, but not Kenny!
I'm sawry if I made u mad. I just curious
You didn't make me mad...but this is just ridiculles!
These are my thoughts exactly! The fact that Kenny reacts so harsh on Clem if she surrenders makes this theory even stronger, in the meaning that Kenny was sure he could save them right now and quickly as well, while Luke wanted to do it the safer and smarter way since he knew the rest of the group would surrender without any fight. (Because clearly he knows his own group.) And therefor went to get help, probably in Carvers camp and get rebels to side against him.
..I let Kenny beat up Lee on the train..
This comment makes me feel retarded. :_(
That's debatable saying he is one of the worst fighters in the game. It all depends on how fast you press or click to whether you dodge him or not. Plus the Larry incident isn't really fair considering how big he was in comparison to Kenny.
Age isn't a factor either. I have seen people in their 40s and 50s knock much younger and fitter guys on their ass. So that's out the window.
Youth isn't always an advantage in many situations. Experience is everything. The way Luke was, being depressed etc. He may not have even considered that Kenny held a grudge and caught him by surprise. A knock with a rifle butt will put most people down.
Whether or not this happened, we will have to wait and see.
We're simply name-buddies. AND I LOVE IT!
He also had a rifle, could have just rifle butted the back of his head when he wasn't looking. I don't think he did anything to him, but that would definitely leave Luke out cold.
So they've basically confirmed Luke is alive. Cool.
How was it confirmed?
I'd be dissapointed at Kenny and by the way that Luke was lost, but I wouldn't consider it bad writing. Obviously there's always someone who considers something bad writing but, in this case, how well do we really know the new Kenny? I get the feeling we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. However, I find it hard to believe that TTG got rid of a character like Luke in that way. On the contrary, I think they want us to suspect this, just 'cause they're evil, but it won't turn out to be true. Chances are he really took a hike and either didn't hear the shots (unlikely) or chose a different way to approach the situation, He could follow them back to Carver's camp for all we know.
XD that cracked me up.
Haha glad you found it funny bro ! I've got charm comin' outta my ass :P
Lol, that ain't charming. Also, if you ever wanna talk about basketball, I started a thread called "Basketball!" in the off topic area.
Great minds think alike! HIGH FIVE!
What about when Molly kicked his arse? In fact every npc character in the game either kicks his arse or threatens to do so. He was a fucking whimp in season 1 and a coward, hence why I had so much difficulty accepting how he could realistically, have survived Savannah but there you go.
