  • If you choose to help Kenny, then that is the reason Larry didn't breathe and so you just ended up being the one who killed him, not kenny. But he was capable of saving in every playthrough, and in every playthrough it is cut short by kenny and determinedly lee.

    I understand kenny's motivations. But they were not correct. At the very least he should have held the salt lick over his head until the visible signs of turning were shown.

    It does not speed up the process, but what if Larry had turned? What if Kenny killed him just shortly before he turned if you choose to help him?

  • >not helping someone is the same thing as killing them
    Such is life in Europe

    And no, zombies can jump up, proven by episode 2 where you bring Travis back with you and he attacks one second after breathing.
    I can even tell you what exactly would have happened: Larry breathes, Lilly pushes Kenny away, Larry gets up, bites Lilly and then Kenny smashes his head in and then Lillys. End of the story, both are dead.

  • "No reason to hate Luke?"...
    He locked Clem inside a fucking shed, if she didn't know how to defend herself, she would've died.

    Kenny fans causing trouble again? There are no good reason's to hate Luke

    1. He was the only one who didn't want to lock her in the shed while everyone else wanted to either kill her or put her in the shed. If you listen to the kitchen conversation you'll hear Luke fighting for her and he actually convinces the group to let her out of the shed.

    2. If it wasn't for Luke then Clem would've been dead anyways from being eaten alive by walkers.

  • Yup, he could hold a saltlick heavier than himself for a few minutes longer. No problem.

  • Luke didn't want Kenny or Alvin dead.It was simply common sense to leave him behind.They couldn't just lose the chance of escaping the camp.
  • No, because he only breathes if you push his chest enough. If you don't push it, he just remains like that.

    Reanimation isn't speeded up by pushing on a chest, but that can bring people back to life.

    Ergo, he must have been coming back to life.

  • As far as I remember, helping Kenny out makes him smash in the head faster. I'm sure if we had waited for some seconds, he might have started to breath aswell and then he starts attacking Lilly.

  • So you're justification for helping Kenny kill him is that Larry only become a zombie if you help Kenny kill him?

    That...doesn't make any sense. He is definitely still alive in the Lilly version, and so he can always theoretically be saved.

  • Thats true Kenny wouldnt even be sorry about him, but Luke said noone wants to leave Kenny i dont think he would say that for Luke
    Flog61 posted: »

    If Luke was the one who was injured, Kenny would have suggested to leave him behind. You all know he would.

  • Did you actually read what I wrote? If you help Kenny, he kills him earlier, before he starts breathing, but if you decide to help Lilly, Kenny will kill Larry slightly later, shortly before he reanimates.

    ...but I've just proved to you that if you help Lilly, he DOESN'T reanimate because he breathes after pressing the chest a certain number of times, and pressing on the chest doesn't speed up reanimation.

    How many times do I need to tell you that?

  • Kenny is life, Kenny is love! You can't survive without him! (Don't hate)

    I agree with Luke's idea (don't hate) at the time it didn't look good for kenny and i wana survive.

  • I'll have to say it again it seems:

    YES breathing can be reanimating. HOWEVER. Larry ONLY breathes if you push his chest enough times.

    Pushing the chest does NOT speed up reanimation, and he doesn't breath if you don't push the chest at all.

    Therefore, the fact that he breathes after performing CPR MUST mean that he was coming back to life, and was not reanimating.

    Do you understand now?

  • He was just being realistic. I wouldn't let Kenny behind anyway. but I understood perfectly what Luke was trying to say to the group.

    that's why I admire him so much! he's not afraid to play Devil's Advocate! ^^

    I'm not making excuses for Carver, I wanted that son of a bitch dead too, but there is a difference between killing someone and beating someone to death. Kenny wasted time and energy by beating Carver when he could have simply shot him in the head. I know everyone wanted revenge, but sticking around to beat Carver wasn't the smartest idea at the time.

  • Yes, so if you help Kenny then you murder Larry, as he can still theoretically be saved, and if you help Lilly then you DO save him, but he is murderer moments after you save him by Kenny.

    In either case, Kenny still killed a man who was not yet dead, nor reanimating.

  • How do we know that he wasn't reanimating when Larry started to breath? Before you say again "B-But cpr no speed up reanimation" I meant to say that Larry could aswell have started to breath shortly after Kenny killed him in case you help Kenny, because the killing goes faster.

  • Kenny can be wrong does NOT means that Luke is right.

    I bet Kenny would have said that about Luke. Would he have said it about Katjaa or Duck? Hell no! You're just describing normal human behaviour. Or, at least, behaviour Kenny would also display.

  • I agree with you. And killing Carver in this way also has the meaning that “those who go against Carver is not better than him in morality”, and I think that's why Carver satirized Kenny in such a harsh way: he wanted to enrage Kenny to kill him in a brutal way. So my Clem told Luke to shoot Carver and also tried to stop Kenny from beating Carver to death. If I had the choice, I would kill Carver with one bullet in the head before Kenny could beat him.

  • Luke's plan was to tied Carver up, which was clear BEFORE Carver was crippled.
    Ayrtonius posted: »

    And would people have hated Kenny if he was the one saying people should be left behind? Carver was crippled. He couldn't have chased them down if he tried. The 2 situations aren't even comparable.

  • In that situation, does leaving Kenny behind have any difference with kill him in cold blood?

  • If I were Luke, I would stress on the point that WE CANNOT LEAVE TONIGHT rather than the point that WE SHOULD LEAVE SOMEONE BEHIND.
    PS I'm not Kenny's fan and I hate it when Kenny got angry about Lee's not killing Larry with him.
  • ^^

    Don't worry, man. I won't let them shave it.

  • If you help Lilly but don't push on his chest, he doesn't breathe, despite the scene lasting the exact same amount of time.

    Therefore, he must have been breathing back to life. There is literally no evidence which anyone has provided which can contradict his breath being one of life.

  • No, but it makes them as bad as each other in this one situation, even though luke was particularly less forceful than kenny would be.

    And yet, the main people who are hating on him for it seem to be Kenny fans. That's why I pointed it out.

    THANK YOU!
    I was getting frustrated with thinking that everyone actually misunderstood the whole situation as Luke WANTING to ditch Kenny when all he did was stating their options.

    Like you said, if everyone planned to leave that night and Kenny hadn't woken up, they would not have any choice. It's just that Luke is the only one admitting it, which is also why he insisted on staying for the time. (for him and Rebecca too)

    Also, if the whole thing turned around to Luke in Kenny's position and Kenny in Luke's, Kenny would suggest the exact same thing, probably with less remorse even.
