I don't care about most of the characters in season 2.

edited May 2014 in The Walking Dead
Serioulsly, most of the characters, I care about are dead. The people I give a shit about, who are alive are:

Clem
Nick
Luke
Kenny

If any of the other characters died I wouldn't really care about it. Unlike in Season 1, where I cared about most people in the group. I know I am getting a shit ton of dislikes. I am just being brutally honest.

  • Agree, you forgot Christa though.
  • I think I like all the characters in season 2. except Michelle and sam. especially Michelle, F*CK HER
  • Ok have fun with that i guess.
  • I'm with you. Don't trust anyone I don't already know from season 1.

    Rebecca- A woman willing to own up to her shortcomings. Turns out she's just stricken between the possibility that her baby might be Carver's as well as wondering whether she can actually raise a child.

    Nick- A kid just trying to do his best after the death of his uncle.

    Alvin- A man who makes sure that his wife is healthy enough while being pregnant and was willing to die if it meant saving Carlos.

    Carlos- A caring father who just wants to see his daughter make it out of this whole situation. Was willing to die at the hands of Carver if it meant not giving out Rebecca's location.

    Sarah- BFF.

    Luke- The only one who Clem told the story about Lee, he's quick to have a brother-sister relationship with Clem.

    I don't know about you, but after episode 2, I liked every single one from the cabin group. I admit, I'm a bit scared to play episode 3, knowing that almost half of the group will probably die.
  • Nah, the writers forgot Christa.

    Agree, you forgot Christa though.

    You don't like Clem? wtf

    I'm confused. To give a shit on someone means hate them. Or is it wrong?
    Sorry, my last english lesson was 12 years ago
  • Some of them I'm still really unsure on, like Carlos. But overall, I'd say I care about most of them for their own reasons at this point, particularly Nick, and formerly, Pete. RIP.

    I think the 400 Days characters coming in will help.
  • I don't think they have. Clem can mention she's looking for Christa in both episodes so far. Hope that will continue, I really want her to be alive.

    Nah, the writers forgot Christa.

  • If S1 and S2 casts were interchanged, would you still say that? I feel that so many look at this through nostalgia glasses.

    That comment was directed more towards the premiere's treatment of Omid and Christa.

  • Probably not, we'd have had at least more time and interactions with them.

  • Yeah, that seemed...odd. I was disappointed in Ep1's writing in particular, especially how they handled Omid and Christa.

    It was more like, "Hmm...how do we write Omid again? Eh, let's just kill him off in the first five minutes of the episode. Hmm...how do we write Christa again? Eh, let's just make her run off in the first ten minutes of the episode."

    And to a lesser extent, also affected Clem as well. "Hmm...how do we write Clem again? Eh, let's just do a time-skip so that players can mold her character in any way they want."

    I'm thankful that the writing improved a little in E2.

  • FUCK. HER.

  • I like everyone from S2 so far, in their own way, except for Michelle. I care about Carlos, Sarah, and the list that the original post has, minus Kenny. I did care about Walt, though. I wish he survived. :c
  • It's hard to like all of them, they all have their secrets and all.
    Plus, you play as a newcomer (as Lee, you were mostly the leader). Let's just wait for Episode 3. I strongly believe (and hope) that our opinions will change.

    Really? I don't think so since Clem mentions her more than twice in every episode thus far.

    Nah, the writers forgot Christa.

    When you put it that way...

    I have come to the conclusion that it isn't that I don't feel sympathy towards most members of the group; it's just that, like the OP states I don't **care** about them as much.

    > " Rebecca- A woman willing to own up to her shortcomings. Turns out she's just stricken between the possibility that her baby might be Carver's as well as wondering whether she can actually raise a child."

    If only the attitude shift was done more naturally... I still find it quite jarring. Her attitude the baby scene should have changed based on how Clem responded to her back in Ep1.

    > " Nick- A kid just trying to do his best after the death of his uncle."

    And about the most fleshed out member of the cabin group, as of now. I like that kid. He kind of fucks up on a constant basis, but he's a good boy.

    > " Alvin- A man who makes sure that his wife is healthy enough while being pregnant and was willing to die if it meant saving Carlos."

    No comments on Alvin. I'm fairly neutral when it comes to him. It did kind of bother me that his attitude towards Clem didn't change either based on how (if?) you handled him back in *All That Remains*.

    > " Carlos- A caring father who just wants to see his daughter make it out of this whole situation. Was willing to die at the hands of Carver if it meant not giving out Rebecca's location."

    I somewhat see myself in Carlos, which makes misrepresentation all the more upsetting. :P He has made some morally questionable decisions, some of which I myself would have made, but I think his character is, as I said, somewhat misrepresented. Also, wasted potential as of now, which leads me to...

    > " Sarah- BFF."

    Yeah, in theory, but nothing else two episodes in. Her big character moments were at the beginning of *A House Divided* and she is forgotten about until she is forced to see her father get beat down. The Carlos-Sarah-Clementine dynamic was hinted at in the premiere, and I was looking forward to it. From the promo art, and just a hunch, however, I predict this episode will explore that more. Still, a waste of potential in the first half of the season, to me.

    > "Luke- The only one who Clem told the story about Lee, he's quick to have a brother-sister relationship with Clem."

    People seem to either hate or love this particular character, and Cluke is not helping his reputation. I like him, however. It is nice for Clem to have someone like him that treats her like a more or less capable member of the group and has (from what we can tell for now) a friend, a brotherly figure. They just have not really showed us something substantial about him, like say, Nick. People complain about seeing only what they consider to be his "too perfect" side. I think he has flaws, and that's a more interesting side to him, we're just not seeing it yet.

    And what they all are missing, IMHO, is **TIME**, but I guess this is the new standard, and that it works alright, I guess.

    Honorable mention to one of my instant favorites and a man that deserved a better fate and more screentime: Peter Joseph Randall.

  • Yup'. I only really like Clem and Christa. The rest either SEEM ok (Luke, Sarah, Alvin) or just suck (Sarah, Rebecca, Carlos)
  • aaah thank you ;-) my mistake

    Its similar to me I only give a shit about Clem Kenny Luke Sarita and Christa in S2 so far.
  • I trust all of them, hell I bet we will have a reason to even trust carver later on.
  • Christa is dead.

    Agree, you forgot Christa though.

  • The Season2 characters i care about are Clem, Kenny and Christa...wait that are all Season1 characters! :D

    I also care about Sarah and Sarita and i cared alot about uncle Pete, but unfortunatelly he didn't make it. RIP uncle Pete!

    Am I the only one who likes S2 characters more than S1? I liked Kenny for the most part during my first playthrough, but he steadily wore down on me as the episodes went on, and then with my second playthrough and S2 I'm pretty annoyed with him. He's way too mercurial, decided him and Lee were no longer friends just because I chose not to help him kill Larry... even though I did everything else for him. His attitude is just off-putting to me, I know a lot of people will disagree strongly.

    But who else was there? Ben: I liked him and felt sorry for him, but the writing seemed to force me to be awful to him, or at the very best not understanding. I loved Duck, but he wasn't exactly high up on the cast list. Christa and Omid, I liked them fine but idk, I didn't really connect with them fully. Maybe because it was essentially the Lee-and-Clementine show. Everyone else that appeared did so briefly and not in a way that was particularly memorable to me (or else I straight-up disliked them, like Lily and her dad).

    Of course, I don't know much about the S2 cast either, but I already feel a lot closer to them than I did the S1 characters (minus Lee/Clementine). I'll always sit with Luke over Kenny :P
