"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
I highly doubt that Telltale will kill off Clementine. I think Telltale has a plan for her that is far worse and sinister. As season 2 has progressed Clementine has been going through a far darker path especially when she (by choice) witnessed Carver's death. Also Carver had told Clem that "Killing one in order to save many is part of survival." In other words if Clementine is going to survive she is going to lose more of her humanity in the process. Which means that she may end up like Carver or Jane. That is the reality of the world she's in. The world of the Walking Dead doesn't reward people for being heroes. The only reward heroes get is getting killed, just like Alvin when he sacrificed his life to give Clementine the time to escape Carver's office. I think it's possible that Clementine will continue to survive and when she loses her humanity she will eventually become the villain. Theoretically in a future season you might play as another character and the Telltale writers will force you to face against a ruthless and menacing Clementine. A character that we had once loved and adored. So in a way killing off Clementine in Season 2 is simply not her worse fate.
It is not the Dead that we have to worry about, it is the Telltale Writers.

I disagree, you don't have to lose your humanity to survive. Look at Rick in the comics. He keeps his way, he struggles and he has murdered (not just kill in self defense) but he evolved to something greater through each drastic event he experiences. He becomes the beacon of hope, hope that humanity is not gone, that our morals are still there and that we can live without becoming savages ourselves. There is always a better way than just killing. He proved that with just recently.
What if you've been actively playing Clem to oppose that kind of change though? I've been keeping Clem down a more humane path the whole season, it'd be pretty underwhelming if it was all for nothing.
That would be the stupidest thing ever
I highly doubt Telltale will do this
Well i got a bunch of dislikes for that so i guess people want it.
I think the game will continue as is - choosing how Clementine will respond to things. I think the situations will be darker or it will be harder to do good but it will still be up to us.
i think this theory is kind of far fetched but you do have one good point. When Jane told Clementine in the episode 4 preview "They're all going to die, Clementine . Don't let them pull you down with them." You might die trying to protect the people you care about or you might try to save yourself while losing your humanity.
Did I get it right?
Embody a new character. and have the opportunity to interact with a character that you were in a past season. is a really cool idea in my opinion!
In this situation, the behavior of Clem could vary according to the behavior that the player had last season.
I'm already kinda of a Villain-ish type of Clem. So, ....
When the chips are down these civilized people will eat each other
To survive in ZA of course Clem is going to have to get her hands dirty with split second decisions that could disturb her for life. I think Lee developed the core of Clem into a mature and badass girl with morals that will never change no matter what happens. I think she will have to make hard decisions but she will always deep down be the little girl in the treehouse with Lee. But real question is what is a villain in a ZA? surely survival is the most essential thing and to achieve it with any means necessary I want to play as evil Clem if they go down that route in S3 I'm not hunting down the monster I created I believe there will always be good in her no matter what happens.
I can't really see Clementine turning into a villain protagonist, an anti-hero maybe, but not evil. Evil implies a desire to cause destruction and misery for its own sake. I think it's more likely she will start to distance herself from people, since 'they're just going to die anyway.' You can only lose but so many friends before you stop trying to make new ones.
Damn I replied to the wrong comment
I would stop playing TWD if Telltale made Clem evil. I don't want to see her go down that road....
Character 1: We are up agains the greatest menace we've ever faced. It's a group of the most ruthless and brutal scavengers I've seen. We must watch our backs and be extremely careful, for one false step, and we may all be dead. And, what's worse, they are lead by the most terrible leader of all.
Character 2: Oh my God! Who is it?
Character 1: A 12 year old girl called Clementine!
Character 2: (laughs histerically)
..and then seconds later they get their dicks shot off by Clementine and then she orders her henchmen to pour gas on both characters. While her minions are pouring the gas she takes out a cigar. She smokes it Like A Boss while watching. After her minions were finished pouring the gas she drops her burning cigar in the gas and ignites the fire. As the adult henchmen watch the two characters burn in agony with their dicks shot off Clementine walks away and reminds her henchmen "Once they see this, they'll get the message."
So...Clem becomes the Crooked Man of TWDG pretty much?
Thank you for making my whole family think I'm crazy
I just fell out of bed laughing hystericaly
