    No. Kenny started that fight at the dinner table. There's nothing wrong with homosexuality, but Kenny's "match" comment was pretty much "lol u guys gay?" Then he starts being a dick to Luke.

    Kenny: You ever heard of a place called Wellington?

    Luke: Wellington? The hell is that?

    Kenny: A place.

    Luke: What kind of place?

    Kenny: A good one, Einstein.

    Then he says it's near Michigan. Nick asks "Michigan?" because, HOLY SHIT, fucking MICHIGAN? Disbelief is absolutely an appropriate reaction to possibly having to walk the distance it would take to reach that. Then Kenny continues being a dick by asking if Nick's got a hearing problem. Typical. When that argument started, I didn't hesitate to tell Kenny to stop because he started that shit.

    Oh no he had a human reaction to his son dying. He got over it and made the right decision, once again.

  • Who said that that made him right
    Besides him moving his mouth could've also indicated reanimation but I don't care what's done is done Larry was dumb enough to get worked up no matter how much his daughter tried to keep him calm

    He was indeed trying to help, but that doesn't make him always right: Larry was alive, as seen by the fact that he starts to breathe if you press on his chest enough, but doesn't breathe if you don't.

    CPR statistics are dismal in that situation. He's as good as dead. Look it up.

    No, that's fucking stupid.

  • It couldn't have indicated reanimation, as he only does that if you push hard on his chest enough times.

    Unless you are saying that pushing on someone's chest makes them turn into a zombie faster for no reason?

  • Again, correct.

    If your hard-on isn't massive and bearded for Kenny, the One True Light, you are sullied filth and should be fed to goats.

    Hi I'm Lemoncakes, wait what you don't have a hard on for Kenny like I do well FUCK YOU!

  • Nope. His mission statement is to do right by his family. Kenny has never done a single thing wrong, ever.

    He is immaculate.

  • Yep they are dismal, and that's why Kenny was trying to do the best thing when he murdered Larry.

    However the fact of the matter is that Larry wasn't dead, and that, unfortunately, Kenny didn't choose the best option.

    He's only human dude, not a god. He makes mistakes okay?

  • So punching Lee in the face when Lee suggested that they stop his son turning into a zombie and possibly leading to more deaths on the train, most likely that of his wife, you think THAT is not a wrong thing? Despite the fact that he himself later admits that he was wrong?

  • Yeah because obviously pushing on someone's chest turns them into a walker faster (don't try to think I'm making stupid suggestions because that itself is stupid) for all we know his mouth moving could've been a reaction to the CPR telltale neither confirmed nor denied what that breath meant it was left up to the player to decide whether Larry was alive or mot

  • Risking the life of everyone in that room for what you admit is a dismal chance that Larry might limp back to being comatose or near-death would be a mistake.

    And Invincible Godbeing Kenny doesn't make mistakes.

    Luke is alive as his VO was recording lines recently, however, I think Kenny might have done something to him. Maybe lock him in something, or wound him?

  • I try to be objective, though I admit that I don't always succeed. I'm a big Kenny fan, but Luke my second favorite Season 2 character that's still alive (Nick being first). All they've really shown is Kenny antagonizing other people, which he does indeed do, but that's not quite all there is to him. while he is an asshole much of the time, that's not all he is and I hope they show us that in the next Episode.

    Nope. Was a conflict of interest that Kenny expressed through the language of the Man Dance.

    Lee and Kenny understood this platonic ritual of male bonding and their relationship grew stronger through the ceremony. Kenny took his duties and obligations to his family to the limit and then flawlessly pivoted like a hypermasculine ballerina to broader responsibilities.

    We should all strive to be as perfect as he is.

  • Really... That's just not like Kenny... sure... Since the first season with Lee, Kenny has been an asshole whether you side with him or not. For example, when Lee ends up in the sewer. How did he? Oh, yeah, that asshole Kenny... Lee's arm was hurt because he was bitten right? Remember, he couldn't reach the ledge because he was in so much pain? He asked Kenny for help ans the little bitch ran away, so Lee was forced to hide away in the sewers.

  • For all you know it's not a stupid suggestion at all.

    If Larry crossed the threshold where reanimation occurs then pumping the chest could speed transmission of the pathogen through his body.

    Good thing Kenny was there to dispense mercy and justice in equal measure, truly he is infallible.

  • It seems like you're getting events mixed up. When Lee was in the sewer, he hadn't been bitten yet. That happened at the end of the Episode. Kenny never ran away in that scene, he tried to help Lee up. In fact it was Kenny, not Lee, that was in pain because of the gunshot wound he had sustained at the St. John Dairy. Lee was perfectly fine in that scene, he simply couldn't reach the fire escape without help. Which Kenny DID attempt to provide.

  • Well, most of us haven't seen that event since it came out. But I was pretty sure he was bitten then, because remember he threatened Vernon with a gun (your choice) to help him fix his arm? So I'm pretty sure he was bitten. But another Kenny event was when he was so worried about getting his RV to run again that he didn't care about the group arguing, which was when Carley/Doug was killed by Lilly. Then when Lilly fires, Kenny is all of a sudden concerned for his family's safety instead of his RV's anymore. You can search this on the youtube, it will surely pop up.

  • Kenny's match comment was a bro type thing, like his friendship with Lee in season one, Kenny in MY playthrough was Lee's best friend and highly cared about Clem.

  • Lee was most certainly not bitten during the sewer scene, he got bitten at the end of the Episode. While you are remembering that he can threaten Vernon, he threatens Vernon so Vernon will show him the way back to the house through the sewers. As for the RV scene, there was a walker trapped underneath it. Someone had to get it out and if he'd been concentrating on the argument while he was trying to get it loose from underneath he RV, he might have been bitten. And once he managed to kill the walker he was going to get involved and cast his vote (he says "Ok, what's the problem?" after he kills the walker) and Lilly uses that distraction to draw on Ben or Carley. Nobody could have known what Lilly was going to do, least of all Kenny considering what he was doing at the time of the argument. And once Lilly kills a fellow group member, then why wouldn't he be concerned about his family? If Lilly killed someone out of the blue like that, then what's to stop her from trying to take revenge on Kenny by killing his family? Of course I don't think she would have, but considering what had just happened it was a reasonable assumption to make.

  • I see Kenny trying to get a walker unstuck from under the RV and asking the group to stop arguing so he can concentrate on not getting bitten. He was coming over to give his 2 cents before Lilly did anything. Like I said, he had no way of knowing what would happen. It was just the latest in a long line of arguments between members of the group, so how was he supposed to know this one would end in someone's death? And when a member of the group begins shooting other members at random for very small and unjustifiable reasons (such as being called a bitch) he would have been a horrible person had he NOT been concerned for his family. I fail to see how that scene in any way demonstrates Kenny's moral failings in the slightest.

  • When did I ever say that Kenny was supposed to know that would happen? I was stating my opinion in my point of view, and I understand yours. But never once did I say he should have known it would happen. Kenny has alot of dumb shit he did through out the series and this, imo, was one of those moments.

    What is this even supposed to mean? If that were true then none of the characters would have any personality, it would just be reactivity to the PC. Sorry, but that statement is just not true. There are characters who are assholes, and there are characters who are nice.

    Kenny in MY playthrough was Lee's best friend and highly cared about Clem.

    The fact that a character can be nice means just as much as it does that he can be a huge asshole. This thread was created asking why people don't like Kenny, and lots of people have given good reasons.

    Kenny in your playthrough went to help find Clem? In some playthroughs, Kenny is willing to leave Clementine in danger because he has a grudge against Lee. That's something Clementine had nothing to do with. If the good things a character can possibly do are taken into consideration, then the bad things should be too.
