Which Character do you think is/would've been, the best group leader for season 2?
I think Kenny, is the best man to lead season 2.
He's older, more experienced.
Hand's on intelligent.
Cautious.
And he's also quite tenacious.
However, Kenny can be a loose cannon at times.
Therefore, if he had lived, I think Lee would've been the best candidate.
Lee was tactful, yet firm when the situation called for it.
Calm under pressure.
Both book, and hands on intelligent.
Cautious.
Generally peaceful, yet violent when he had to be.

Kenny. He is a strong, well experienced man who has obviously survived some very tough situations. You could say that he doesn't think things though, but you don't have time to think things through when walkers are breaking down doors.
Also, look at the way he naturally leads the group when they're escaping the drug store in S1EP1, it seems to me like its just a part of his personality to lead. Also, he isn't afraid to do what has to be done and he very rarely, if never gives up, which is admirable. I also agree with you on that if he survived, Lee would have been the best leader.
I think Kenny comes to mind. So does Luke. I just wish it could be like S1 where you're the leader. Clementine barely gets a say in anything and it pisses me off because everyone in the group is mentally retarded. Wasn't Carver supposed to be "very smart" but 203 he's nothing but a blood thirsty psycho who is an extreme "survival of the fittest" type of person.
If only Clem was a bit older. It would certainly make her character more interesting. I just feel like when Carver/Troy slap and hit Clem, you can't fight back. And that makes me furious not being able to be Lee and beat the life out of Carver and Troy.
I'm biased but Pete.
Damnit Pete, why ;A;
I say its Clem. She is tougher than anybody. Kenny is good too.
Kenny he's strong like clem and Lee
Lee is good too but he's dead
A partnership between Kenny and Luke. Kenny can do what needs to be done but is a bit of a loose cannon and too rash. Luke also has heart and compassion, an ability to keep calm under intense situations. These two working together rather than against would be perfect.
From S2, Pete would be a good leader. But if Lee was alive, I would choose him as leader.
I liked your description of Kenny.
I think it was very accurate.
Qualities, like Kenny possesses, it's easy to see why someone like Lee would want him for his right hand man.
Not to mention as a best friend.
(And in my playthrough, they were).
And I agree, that being a leader seems to be a natural part of Kenny's nature.
Referring back to the drugstore, Kenny delegated responsibility within the the group, with such ease and logic, that it made Lilly jealous.
You can tell she was by the expression on her face as Kenny started doing so.
And I also agree that, Kenny's highly tenacious spirit, is to be admired.
I can personally relate to that quality, which is one of the reasons I like his character so much.
I also agree with your comment.
I also believe Kenny and Luke leading the group together, would be in the group's best interest.
They're all a bunch of screw-ups as far as I'm concerned (and I say that in the most loving manner possible). Kenny may be experienced, but also quick to blow a fuse and prone to letting his emotions get the better of him. Not to mention that he seems a bit...unstable after everything that happened with his family. And I was never a particularly big fan of his. Even in season 1, my vote was always with Lilly.
Luke has good ideas, but often fails to see them through successfully. He's a better choice than Kenny, but he lacks experience and street smarts.
Though in the end, everyone ends up depending on Clementine anyway.
Christa would be a good leader because she is a strong fighter and she trusts nobody.
Sam the Super Doge.
Kenny.... cautious? Really?
Particularly of newcomers.
Not Luke or Kenny.
Pete is a reasonable choice. He is wise and kind. I don't think Kenny would be a great leader, because he acts violently and aggressively, think of In Harm's Way for a moment. He was going to shoot all the sonuvabitches he sees, as that would've been a mistake against Carver. Inside, he is in a fight with Mike with no point, gets his eye all messed up by saying: ''Heh, fucker''. I don't know if that affected the situation, Carver might have hurted Kenny anyway. In my opinion, Kenny just acts too violently to be a leader.
Nate.
Oh, you mean that kind of cautious.
I think Clementine is the best candidate for group leader, she's the reason they got out of Carver's "Community", not to mention she can be really sneaky and is good with a gun!
Only one problem I can see is with that, she's 11 years old.
And lacks the experience needed.
Plus children, at Clementine's age, are easily influenced and manipulated.
Clem, She knows what to do when shit hits the fan.
I would've chose Pete or Lee but they're both dead so, Clementine should be the leader, they ask her to do everything anyway.
you guys don't get that the most important thing for a leader is to simply be smart, and calm would ceratinly help, and let's face it, kenny isn't exactly the smartest person in the game, Lee, Pete, Luke and Lilly sound to me like the most sound options, they're smart, make good decisions, and are moral enough, lilly may look somewhat...unpleasent, but she did lead the group for 3 months and they survived quite well.
so point is kenny is a bad choice because he is VERY hot tempared, and there are smarter people out there, i mean, that plan of his to escape the truck was one of the shittiest plans i've ever heard, and not a sign of good planning skills.
so...hmm
The ideal leadership would be a shared one between Luke and Kenny because they sort of complete each other.
Kenny is often rash and doesn't think things through, while Luke is able to stay calm and think logically.
Luke is compassionate but to the point he becomes naïve, given by how if it was up to him, he would have let Carver live another day to go back to chasing the group. Kenny is able to step up and make the harsh decision to keep everyone safe.
Kenny is definitely a leader, but he's too impulsive and he doesn't plan out things. Plus, he can go overboard and he can be ruthless. He needs someone like Christa, who definitely makes plans and is smarter than most of the characters, and Luke, who knows when and when not to kill.
Travis.
His dad was special forces.
Just because his dad was special forces, doesn't mean he is.
Nor did it mean that Travis knew what he was doing.
From what I could tell, Travis just wanted to try and act like the Alpha dog.
Besides, people who know what they're doing, generally don't feel a need to say so.
Especially not in a defensive tone.
No offense, just pointing out some facts.
You are talking about the badass little girl who persuaded Alvin to get stitching supplies/snuck into a house and managed to steal supplies and persuade Sarah. The same girl who has saved the group multiple times.... just saying, Clementine maybe young but she is smarter than most people give her credit for
Kenny survived... it doesn't matter if your smart or strong, as long as you know how to survive and how to keep your loved ones safe
Woooosssshhh!
Out of the characters appearing in Season 2.....
The best choice for leader would have to be Pete.
He's wise, he's tough, he's kind and he also can make those tough choices without any drama. I mean, everything kinda went to shit after he died, you know. If Pete had still been alive when Carver came around, I think the outcome of that situation would have been very different.
A triumvirate lead by Pete, Kenny and Luke.
Pete for moral compass, experience wisdom and guidance, Luke for his level head and ability to think things through, and Kenny for his willingness to go to any lengths necessary.
I'd say in descending order: Christa, followed by Pete, followed by Luke. They've all displayed an ability to remain calm and logical when everything is hitting the fan. Christa's pragmatism and shrewdness make her one of the best survivors in the world of the game, and Luke and especially Pete inspire others in the group to look to them for guidance. Luke still has problems with the more morally compromising aspects of the ZA, but I think he'll make progress on that front in these last two episodes.
how is being able to keep yourself alive a parameter for leadership skills?
So you are saying that a good leader doesn't need to know how to stay alive? If you can't live how can you be a leader at all?
A good leader is one who knows how to survive in a zombie apocalypse, being smart and or strong isn't going to help you if you don't know to survive. However, those traits would come in handy and can be developed if you're a survivalist. But allot of characters became smart and or strong because they knew how to survive...
You missing little Petey?
As much as Lee was a great hero he was never really that much of a leader, he never came up with any plans on where they should be heading and what they should be doing, it always seemed to be kenny and lilly who decided what they should do, but they both had issues and kenny is a loose canon and would put everyone at risk.
I have to say that so far there hasnt been a great leader, but I think the best so far is Luke.
"a bit...unstable after everything that happened with his family"
Oh, but your vote is with Lilly? The person who actually snapped and just murdered one of the group members she was supposed to be leading because of everything that happened with her family?
I say Pete too
