Top 35 Characters
This took me a little over an hour, but I have created a list (My personal opinion) of the top 35 characters in all of Telltale's The Walking Dead series. I took the time to compare personalities, moments where they stood out the most, etc. This list IS in order, 35 being the worst and 1 obviously being my favorite. If anybody else wants to create a list like this (Doesn't have to be 35) Feel free to do so, I like reading everybody's opinions on characters and such. This list WILL contain spoilers for Season 1, 400 Days and both episode of Season 2. I also didn't add any minor characters (Even though some would of easily made this list and pushed some major characters off). I only have characters that are major, or characters that I think will be major for upcoming episodes (or at the very least play a decent role.) It took me an hour to create the list itself, and it took me another hour and a half to write all the info and my opinions of the characters on the side. Sorry if I do happen to sound Biased in any of these, I tried my best to completely avoid that, but I think some opinion like that may have gone unnoticed for me. Some characters I have nothing to say so I just write something random I liked about them or a specific scene they were in. Oh yeah, sorry for all the negativity with certain characters
35. Becca How does Shel deal with her shit? She's really annoying (I'm still trying to find a good reason on why she is annoying to me) She just always annoyed me. Could be that she is just being a bitch. Then again, I have no idea why I just called her a bitch. Something about her just makes me hate her as a character, surely somebody else can relate (or at least explain why she is an annoying bitch)
34. Sarita Kenny's choice in women is poor. Is he even trying? Anyways, I get that same annoyed feeling that I do with Becca for some strange reason. Sarita is no bitch though, she's rather nice and friendly. Could just be her looks and appearance that's making me feel this way about her.
33. Shel Very... Boring... Character... I even liked Roman better than her, but like I previously said, no minor characters are on this list sadly. How the hell can one get so sad by seeing a walker eating a fucking puppy? That's just ridiculous, unless you're extremely sensitive then that's completely understandable. Hopefully her character is much better when she returns for Season 2.
32. Katjaa At least Katjaa had a good-ish personality. She was selfish for committing suicide in front of her son and leaving Kenny to deal with all the shit. Well, like I said before... Kenny's choice in women is poor.
31. Duck RIP Robin... As annoying as this little shit was, I did kinda enjoy the little mystery at the motel and the way Lee had to interact with him. Oh man that high five! Still, there are plenty of better characters than him.
30. Alvin Fucking fatass, we all know all he wanted to do was eat. Well, at least he was nice to Clem by giving her the juice box (btw RIP Juicy) In my version, he survived and will be in Episode 3, so hopefully he does something rather nice to boost him up on my list (or to de-rank himself if that's his choice)
29. Sarah Pinky promise? Ah, even Clem is more fucking mature than you are. OH, you wanna learn how to use a gun? What a joke. Well at least she got a good idea of what kind of danger the world really was when they had to leave the cabin. What's up with her breathing problem? Is it a serious condition or is she just one of those fools who over-exaggerate literally everything? Dat selfie though...
28. Russell I really did not like his character at all. He can't even take a joke when Nate talks about the girl's boobs. I would of answered Nate honestly. Russell seems like the person I would not get along with in person, he'd probably piss me off. Even him hesitating when Tavia offered them to go at their camp was pissing me off, I mean RUSSELL GOD DAMN IT, EVERYBODY ELSE IS GOING!
27. Rebecca Started off as a bitch, now she's, well... Not much a bitch anymore, so she has improved from Episode 1, which is why she is ranked 27 on my list. I don't really got much else to say about this character other than she better improve a bit more in Episode 3. It'd be interesting to see how she changes (personality) after she has given birth (Unless her and/or the baby die in the process, or directly after).
26. Doug He was good to have around, smart and such. I liked his interaction with Lee when searching for the keys to the pharmacy out front.
25. Pete I didn't like him at all in Episode 1, but his last moments in Episode 2 were kinda nice. I liked the music that went along with the scene and everything. RIP Uncle Pete, now I have to watch out for Nick because I promised him I would -_-
24. Vince Fuck Wall Street! That's really it... Well, his backstory seems interesting
23. Chuck or Charles if you're fancy. He went down fighting off a horde of walkers and ended up in the sewers where he could shoot himself in the head. RIP You poor bastard. The Wiki says you could hear him scream or get bit when Lee and the group are running away from him on the street in the beginning of Episode 4 when he fends off the horde with his trusty shovel (It wasn't so trusty...)
22. Mark Mmmm, Delicious! Oh, I mean, RIP... I didn't really care too much for his character until after shit hit the fan. From a survival point of view, I would easily resort to cannibalism (At least I get to eat) but C'mon now, he wasn't originally going to die.
21. Larry I hated him in the drugstore, I hated him even more when he punched Lee after Lee went out of his way just to get him the help he needs for his heart. Foul bastard, but he made up for it in Episode 2. A few things he said were actually funny, and he became less annoying and even more less pissed at Lee (but still had his hatred).
20. Christa Where are you? Are you in Carver's camp? She was a boring and uninteresting character throughout all of Season 1. I disliked her for a good bit before eventually just becoming neutral with her. The first 10 minutes of Season 2, she improved, but got annoying again after Omid's death. Maybe instead of her being alive, the group will just stumble across her body on the way to Carver's camp.
19. Ben Yes, I like Ben better than everybody previously mentioned, get over it. He fucked up a ton, but most of it was unintentional. He did mean well as Christa said, but approached many situations wrong and ended up getting the group in a sticky situation. He never did get to make up for his behavior, for he died in an alleyway. RIP Ben
18. Vernon Yet another character whose fate is unknown. I actually want him to be alive, it'll be interesting to see his confrontation with Kenny again (Unless Kenny dies before meeting him)
17. Bonnie Terrible character in 400 days, but quickly improved quite a bit when we found out she was with Carver. That was pretty badass of her. It was also pretty unexpected, oh, and lying bitch. You don't have a fucking daughter! Unless she got pregnant and had a kid between 400 days and Season 2 (Which isn't possible, I don't think at least. The timeline is too close for that to happen)
16. Stranger Ah, campman. Revenge is pretty sweet, I can agree with that. Sadly, he failed at getting his revenge, but he was still an interesting character regardless.
15. Carlos Am I the only one who loved seeing Carver break his fingers?
14. Nick Watch out guys, he is becoming a danger to the group! Well Nick survived in my version, and I'm glad he did because I took the watch from the cabin and didn't even give it to him when he mentioned it in Episode 2. Hopefully I get another chance at that (Unless he dies in Episode 3 and I get to keep the watch to remember him by, or Pete)
13. Walter I don't usually like extremely nice people like this but Telltale did it right
12. Carley She was fucking hot, she was good with a gun, it's a shame she couldn't get to Lee sooner.
11. Omid RIP - "You ruined that dude's face"
10. Wyatt Funny, nice facial hair
9. Molly Well she knows Parkour, that's a big plus. She's pretty badass with Hilda, hopefully she returns soon. I wonder where she went after Savannah, she had already searched the whole damn place.
8. Lilly This is my most anticipated appearance since Kenny's in A House Divided. I really want to see her back and see the interaction between new Lilly and new Kenny. Also I wanna see Clem's reaction. In my version, she was left on the side of the road, so she could be anywhere. This is a theory I had a while back before we even got our first trailer for Season 2. Lilly runs off into the woods, runs into Molly. This is basically a TV Show nod (How Andrea was in the woods and got saved by Michonne).
7. Eddie He's got a straight dick. Fuck Wyatt, If he wants to keep talking about his dick, then let him. Hell, I would talk about it with him. He is the funnier of the two IMO, and he brings up Rock, Paper, Scissors in a serious situation like, what the hell haha
6. Carver Now this... THIS is a good fucking antagonist. The moment he walks through the door to the cabin and begins searching the house, questioning Clem, it's so tense. He then later returns with a few friends and fully automatic weapons (Which is a first in The Walking Dead Telltale series, now all we need is explosions) I love how he doesn't care who dies, he just gets the job done. Ah, I fucking love Carver.
5. Nate Oh look who made it into my top 5! This fucking psycho is, well... That's the main reason he even made it this far. HE'S A FUCKING PSYCHO AND I FUCKING LOVE IT! He opens a window for a walker to grab hold of Russell, that shit was funny. Later on, he threatens to kill the older couple in the diner. Sometimes I go back at that moment just to see him shoot them just because I can, plus it's fun to watch. You see the look on his face, so fucking awesome!
4. Luke I didn't like him too much in Episode 1, Episode 2 is what really brought him up for me. I fear that Kenny might of killed him, I would rather him be working for Carver and betray the group then having him be killed by Kenny. His interaction with Clem is great, especially when taking out the two walkers before heading on the bridge. The relationship is growing stronger and everything.
3. Kenny His mustache has evolved... Someone go create a pic of his beard shining. Oh man, he was one of my favorites in Season 1, and was my most anticipated character to return in Season 2 and hell I wasn't disappointed one bit. I like this new Kenny, and seeing him getting punched by Carver well... Something about seeing my favorite characters fight makes me happy.
2. Lee Clumsiest motherfucker around, that's for damn sure. He's even got the power of the pimp hand! In all seriousness, Lee is easily one of the greatest protagonist's in gaming history. He's gotta be.
1. Clementine In Episode 1, A New Day, I didn't like her and I didn't want to like her. I have a strong hate towards children, and their presence usually annoys me to the point where I want to see them die on screen. Telltale though... Can you please explain to me what have you done? You've actually gone and made me like a kid! That's never happened before! Sadly, it took me a while to like her. I didn't start to like her until Starved for Help, I know this because I was like "Fuck" when she saw me stab Danny in the barn. Then that nightmare in Episode 3 fucking scared me, good work on that. I don't wanna see Clem become a walker (Actually, I do wanna see every character in walker form) but that ain't the point. Why did I feel a little wrong when Lee made her cry at the end of Episode 4? Well, Clem is fucking awesome. Now in all honesty, I like her in Season 2 much better than in Season 1. More badass, she actually swears (Which is awesome, but I still wanna hear her say something with the word "Fuck" in it like Motherfucker. Speaking of swearing, has anybody in TWD used the term "Cocksucker" yet? I actually think Negan might of, but I wanna hear that word used in the game since AMC doesn't allow such words) She is my favorite video game character of all time, yet with that being said, if/when she dies, I'll still play the game because I'm a walking dead fan, not only a Clem fan. Yeah, I'm not one of those faggots who's like "If ____ dies, we riot" "If ___ dies, you lose your fanbase and we stop playing" Just shut the fuck up, that's bullshit you false fans.

Changed to 4th and 7th places rooms
You should have done like top 15 or something. Nice work though!
Damn Well you get my thumbs up for all that writing I can tell you thought about it for awhile
How dare you let Doug be 26
I mean the Stranger and Vernon are in front of him! And only one in front of Rebecca!
you should make a tournament where people vote who beats who each round. Maybe use your initial rankings as your starting seed. :-D
I was also thinking of that, one of those games where you have a picture of multiple characters and it is vote to eliminate. I am surprised no one has done one yet.
And then you'll kill off the winner............right?
maaaaaaaybe....... ;-)
You would have to remove Clementine and Lee as they would be voted last for sure.
This is like Vault 11 in Fallout New Vegas all over again.

How about no?
