Will Kenny Become the S2 Group Leader?
(Kenny, displaying his badass-ness)
I think Kenny will be wearing the pants in the group now that Carlos has died. Carlos filled that role when Pete died. Now Kenny's a third generation leader of this group. He feels the most capable and strongest to hold the group together for now.
For some reason I think Kenny will take it upon himself to take care of Rebecca's baby (because she will probably die in childbirth). He is really the only adult man in the group, excluding Luke, whose always on the run, and Nick, who isn't fit to take care of a child (I think). So I think he will protect Clem and the baby with his life.
Though, I have a feeling Clem's gonna watch over Sarah, though, kind of like her protector. Maybe teach her a few things (like Lee and young Clem)

He's probably the most likely candidate.
Mike will probably be his wingman, and following game logic, Clementine his...person who does all the stuff.
Heh, Mike will be like Lee then (not cuz he's urban).
Mike will be his wingman, just like Kenny was to Lee in S1
Kenny seems to irrational to be leader
I love that picture.
Epic, right?
Well, he's the best candidate considering:
1.) Luke keeps running off and is too weak to so much right now
2.) Nick is not fit to lead anyone right now and as far as we know doesn't want to
3.) Mike is new to the group so he's not as looked up to
4.) Jane still kind of weirds everyone out, plus she some dudes dick off (sign to stay away)
Without a doubt! c:
So what you're really saying is that Mike will be Kenny's Kenny?
(from Omid and Christa's baby conversation, in case that wasn't obvious)
"We're not making Mike a Kenny. One of him is enough."
Plus Nick is kind of dead in one scenario, so...
Kenny is far too irrational. He's a good guy at heart but we can't trust him to lead. But Luke seems absent from this episode. I have no idea where Nick is plus he cannot lead. Sarah and Jane aren't exactly favourable options. How about Rebecca? ...Maybe not.
That too.
I wouldn't ever want to go through with one of his plans, but I do see him as being the right hand man to someone who actually is a good leader. Kenny's shown that he'll do what needs to be done and if he has someone with a level head who knows how to keep him in check when the time calls, Kenny would make a great Lancer to whoever steps up and actually leads the group.
I'm sure Kenny will want to try to position himself as the new leader, but decisiveness and badassery alone do not a good leader make. He's too hot-headed, impulsive, and stubborn, and he's not exactly going to be in the best place physically or mentally in E4 with his still very recent, severe injury/handicap, and the situation with Sarita.
If Luke isn't missing most of the ep, I don't see why the group wouldn't automatically look to him. Luke is the one with the history with the group, he's already acted as a leader once before in their escape, and he was third in the group's authority hierarchy behind Pete and Carlos. Plus, all he needs is some food and sleep and he'll be back to normal functioning, while Kenny's problems are a lot more complicated.
Kenneth the Lionheart shall lead his not so merry band of troops on a crusade to save the Holy Land (Wellington).
Yup. Maybe that'll be mike?
Kenny should lead, and Mike should be his wingman. Mike is probably the most sane character at the moment.
idk. Kenny does a lot of stupid things. remember, he wanted to just stroll through the herd before he even knew about the guts thing?
eh... clem will be her own leader.
Maybe there will be a joint leadership with Kenny and someone else
I agree 100%.
Even before they escaped, I got the feeling that Kenny was in charge.
And he is an appropriate choice, as he is one of the oldest men in the group, and has the most life experience.
Luke is to absentee from the group, to be an affective leader.
While he is a good guy, Luke is to much a lone-wolf, and leader needs to be someone who will stick around, especially when the going gets tough.
And that sadly is not Luke at this point.
Which may have been one of the reasons Carver caught up to them in the 1st place.
Plus Luke doesn't have enough life experience.
Nick doesn't have the qualities nor the experience, at least at this point, to make a leader, let alone a good one.
Nick is another good guy, but he is still to dependent on others at this point.
Nick needs to be able to walk, before he can run.
And Clementine, though she is smart, resourceful and amazingly tough and tenacious, is obviously to young.
She had a wonderful example in Lee, of what it means to be a good leader and person,and I'm sure in later years she'll become a fine group leader.
But at this point in life, in the words of the great Jedi Master Yoda: "Much to learn, she still has."
And I agree with your sentiments about Kenny protecting Rebecca's baby and possibly Sarah, if Sarah survives.
After all look how he looks after Clementine, much the way a father would, which is so cool.
In fact I think Kenny and Clementine's relationship is one of the best parts of the game.
Kenny is, in my opinion, one of the best, most colorful character's in the whole damn game!
TWD wouldn't be the same without him.
And in the words of Spock from Star Trek: " May Kenny live long; and prosper."
Well, the third time's the charm.
What do mean exactly that Kenny is a third generation leader?
And honestly, I didn't see Carlos as the leader, after Pete died.
And obviously neither did Carver, or he would've mentioned Carlos instead of Luke, when discussing the mess they'd been lead into.
So why also do say Carlos became leader after Pete's passing?
Cause I honestly don't see it.
So clue me in.
Thanks!
After Pete, it felt like Luke and Carlos took the role as leaders, however I think it was Carlos who first suggested leaving the cabin and Luke later decided that they should head into the mountains.
As for Kenny being the leader, I'm quite sceptical seeing that he's not thinking plans through and acts irrationally sometimes. Most of the group might not agree on the way he sees things, which will create a lot of tension in the upcoming episode.
If episode 4's "All Fall Down" achievement is to be taken literally, I don't think there will be a lot of people left for Kenny to lead...
Kenny is not all there. I dont want him taking care of a baby.
Well... I don't know. He is quite bad at leading, though I do like him a lot. He's made some choices that put a ton of them in danger and he's in denial a lot... but maybe it's best if he leads, because I know if that line isn't made clear than Luke and him are going to fight even more than they already do... and I can't chose who to side with on that >_<
