  • Of course people are gonna love a sadist in GTA. YOU'RE a fucking sadist in GTA. I would've laughed at Carver's death if it had happened in GTA. TWD is supposed to lead you in the opposite direction.

    He reminds me of Trevor from GTA. And people love that guy, but he's a pretty horrible person.

  • Ha, I agree with all this and I also happen to have read Visambros fanfic, which was fucking awesome.

    Nate's an asshole and a murderer. But he is a dynamic and interesting character, I guess that's why a lot of people like him.
  • I guess you can compare it to a Accident or a Force of Nature. Everybody says its horrible and bad to watch but they won't turn their Heads away from it. And he's a Antagonist. Many People are simply more interested in those as in the ones with good Nature.
  • your a tough little nut.

  • I don't see what he did, was wrong. Some guys talk about girts in a non flattering way, it is part of life.. Kill the old people, well they started it. I'm not trying to justify it, i don't see it as wrong, i have the DayZ mindset in the ZA.

    That's not an excuse for Nate's behavior. Russell's not his drinking buddy, they're complete strangers to each other. I think his issue is m

  • Shooting someone in the penis must be very funny for women. And yet everyone is mad at men when they don't help out women.

    Russell's story is my absolute favorite and I thought Nate was a great villain. It was frightening and entertaining and all played out reall

  • I dont think he will be in episode 4, I cant see him hanging out at a museum.
  • Because he is crazy and a rather interesting character, but no-one sane would ever want to meet a guy like that.
  • I would.

  • nate was in a group before that, he chased after wyatt and eddie because of some interaction that his group and the two aforementioned had.

    If i remember correctly, it has been a while, the old guy started rambling about guys with masks. So it couldn't of been Nate because he was alone.

  • We live in a world of hypocrisy! Where if a man beats a woman, he is a monster. If a woman beats a man, he deserved it. LOL

  • It has nothing to do with survival with the fittest, they shot first so they're a threat, When they were captured, they were pretty much dead anyways, so if Nate wants to kill them whatever. It isn't like i knew them or something, so i could care less.

    well personality counts for at least a strong six.

  • Because Nate reminds me of the character Rusty Nail from the movie Joy Ride. That's why I like him to come back
  • nate is great
  • I would too

  • It is in 400 days, a dlc between Season 1/2. It is referenced in Russel's story.

  • I liked Nate because he oozed personality, he's colourful, funny, playful, laidback, yet sadistic. Just an interesting and well presented character. I'd kill to play a Nate dlc, but most would find him too unrelatable. I'd love to see a lot more of him.
  • And then they claim that it's because a "gurl is weaker". Well, if some muscular 7'10" guy would beat me up, no one would care, even though I'm also much weaker than him.

  • You got to consider her a living person. That's it. You're either living or your not. You ain't little, you ain't a girl, you ain't a boy, you ain't strong or smart. Your alive.

  • Nate was a dangerous psychopath.
    He would smile at you, just as easily as shoot you dead.
    Anyone who likes a character like that, and I mean this respectfully, may wish to take a step back and 're-examine their character.
  • Really? don't you think that's a bit drastic? There's a lot of villainous characters people enjoy across all mediums of art from games to books to films. Just because you don't have the same morals as a character doesn't mean you can't enjoy them, that's a very limited way of viewing things, the idea that you can only like what is the same as yourself. For example I like Frank Underwood in "House of Cards", I know he's a power hungry sociopath, but I enjoy the characters outlook because of the fact it's so different to mine. Villains provide range of perspective, something to morally compare against, and to provide what every drama needs, conflict.

  • Sheesh, why are people talking about Nate as if he's a raging pedophile? It's not like the dude will jump anyone's bones, or else he'd have banged that hot granny.

    Hey, wait, he DID bang her. Hah.

    You do have a good point.
    My point mainly is, to be careful about what kinds of character's one allows himself to like.
    It's important to be careful as to what a person feeds their mind on.
    Cause what we feed our minds on, will often dictate how we act and re-act.

  • Well I know where you're coming from the idea that someone could say they relate to him, which would indeed be weird and it would imply a weak and highly suggestable mind to begin with but other than that you just can't beat a good old fashioned bad guy, they add so much to a story, if they're well written of course. One of my favourite villains of all time would be Iago in Shakespeare's "Othello", such a great blueprint to create any good bad guy from, one that seems trustworthy, admirable, and your best friend but underneath boils a sea of anger, vengeance and bile.

    I think Nate will have gone to Wellington in search of some tail.

    "The hunger a man's got for a woman, is all we got left now. No laws, no jobs, ain't nothing that make us men. But they ain't eaten all the women yet."

    Nate to Russell quote.

  • I don't like him either
  • Well, Wyatt and Eddie are potheads, so that explains that.

    Nate... At first he's trying to coax a connection out of Russel, like from one experienced man to a young man. Who knows, Nate might have just been the kind of guy who had fun by visiting bars for drinks and casual nights with women. One thing is for certain, he's a womanizer(not of children), whether he's good or sucks balls at it, and he's crazy. Maybe gone crazier since the declaration of Zombieland independence. I'd like to see him fill a role as a villain. I personally want him to come back because I want to hear him talk. He's not a good guy, but he's a good villain, if that makes sense. It's his jokes and casual spirit I like, not his moral character.
  • I think this absolutely hilarious.

    Kenny does horrible things all the time, but that is because he is "rash." and he gets away with it.
    Nate does one thing and now he is freaking Hitler. I don't see the world black and white, like you do.
    You need to |"re-examine" this character because if you did, you would see it is stupid to judge a character on 15 minutes of screen time.

    Nate's character is me. I act just like him. Who knows how i would act in the ZA.

    I'm glad you understand where I am coming from.
    And I'll admit a colorful bad guy can add much to the story.

    Like the Joker from the 1989 film Batman.
    Though I will say I though Christian Bale is a better Batman, when it comes to the Joker nobody does it like Jack!
    Another villain I thought was memorable was Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin in Spider-Man.

    My point mainly was, in a survival situation, whether in a "fantasy world" like TWD, or in the "Real World", you do not have to become the bad guy in order to survive.
    You can still be virtuous, while being smart and cautious.
    Herschel on the tv series proved that.

    Anyone who thinks they have to become a bad guy to survive, may want to re-examine their character and beliefs.

    As far as Kenny goes, his brutally murdering Carver was wrong.
    However, in light of all the harm Carver had done, if kept alive he would've just come after the group again, and was therefore to dangerous to be kept alive.
    Since he was already crippled and defenseless, the best thing would've been to just leave him for the walkers.

    Carver wanted Kenny to kill him.
    Cause he knew that in that moment, Kenny would be acting just like he would.
    That kinda deviousness is Satanic.
    And unfortunately Kenny took the bait, through Carver's taunts.

    And thus Kenny gave Carver power over him.
    When someone is able to influence someone to commit either good or bad, they are to, in effect, have control over that person.

    Not giving someone like that what they want, takes not only a cool-level-head, but also strong character.


    I don't think this mistake on Kenny's part automatically makes him a bad guy.
    I think Kenny can still find redemption.
    And hopefully he does.

    Sometimes in a survival situation, and in life, hard decisions do have to be made.
    However there has to be lines.
    If moral lines are not kept, people become like animals.

  • I think Kenny's character and Nate's character aren't that much different. People aren't black and white. It is the zombie Apocalypse, and those people shot at you first. Personally i wouldn't care what Nate did to them, i don't know them personally so it wouldn't mean anything to me.
