Arvo IS a Good Guy

So i've seen many people be pissed at Arvo, and yeah they have some reasons but come on, hes just a scared kid who is obviously being used, he doesn't want to hurt anyone, he could have strait up shot Clem to be safe but he said he didn't want to shoot her and his hand was shaking so frantically when pointing the gun, Arvo has said that he is not the leader of the group so this isn't some diabolical plan of his to act like a poor defenseless kid and manipulate them then call his group out to kill them all, he is likely being used, when Clem asks if he is hurt he says "...no..." and the look on his face is full of regret an remorse. Just look at him

That is a picture of Arvo a second before his friends attack and he stops pretending that he needs help, does he really look like he wants to be doing this? do you really think that's the face of someone who wants to rob and murder everyone he can? no way, hes just a harmless nerdy kid who's being used

  • I like your theory

  • I agree, he was just scared. BUT IF KENNY DIES THIS GUY IS NO LONGER GOOD AND SHOULD BE TORTURED!!!

  • edited August 2014

    I agree completely. It's not like he can just walk out of something like that without the risk of being killed himself by his group members. He just has to do it.

    sigh Ben=Arvo. the curved =

    Both mean well expect for everything you said about Arvo isn't Ben.

  • He's a decent man. With some flaws here and there but he is a decently good man.

  • I think he's a lot like Ben, so I'm thinking if I should help him out (I probably will) or let Kenny scream SHITBIRD!! I (Depends on what else Arvo does) but I'm probably gonna get to know him better before I make decisions, (and I didn't rob him)

  • I don't think torture is necessary, even if it was his fault, but it isn't his fault, you really think this scared, physically disabled, young boy could stand up to three supposed thugs with big guns

  • Yes, yes. I apologize for the freakout, but I just, I CANT LOSE KENNY AHAIN ;(

  • I still think it's pretty shitty of him to say Clementine robbed him if she doesn't take the pills but yeah he's definitely not the heartless monster everyone keeps saying he is. I think there is a lot more to explore about his situation with the group he is in and it seems very obvious to me that he feels guilty about everything.

    And he does try to get his group to put their guns down when he sees that they have a baby with them.

  • I have a feeling Arvo will be the key to help them survive the Russian attack. I feel kind of bad for him and hope that we can get to know him better in ep.5

    It is possible that he's just a weak guy who got caught up with the wrong people, and is staying with them for protection, but it's hard to tell with the limited information we have on him. We know that he was stealing medication from his group to hide in a trash can, and (until further notice) he lied about needing the medication for his sick sister. He also blames Clem for stealing the meds even if you don't take the bag. But it's also a possibility that Jane took them out of the trash can when she left, which may be why he thinks Clem stole it. At the same time though it could just be a cover for himself, so his group doesn't suspect him as the thief. However, he is visibly upset if you tell him there's a baby in the group and does try to tell his group to lower their guns. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing whose side he's really on until episode 5.

    the boy is pretty cute though, I'll give you that.

  • edited August 2014

    Ah yes of course I forgot, he also is pretty damn cute.

    And that's why I want him to live for some time, there is very little info about him as of now so I want to know what is up with him. I am very excited for episode 5.

  • He kinda looks like Ben. I actually had faith in Ben so lets hope Arvo is good for me too.

    I saved Ben in S1EP4 BTW.

    So if there is a choice to leave Arvo or save him, I'd save him so he makes it to Season 3.

    I didn't steal from him either.

    but as of now, Arvo is a decently good guy for me.

    Just so you know, one of the Russians refer to him as "Handicapped Man" and they say he is weak and that they could kill him easy (the exact line was that they could tear his throat out with their teeth) so it is likely he doesn't choose to be with them

    I like him but I'm still kinda on thin ice for this guy.

  • Im the kind of person that believes that a person should never give into threats or do the wrong thing because its right for them. Im also quite spiteful, so threatening me really tends to have the opposite effect.

    So no, Arvo IS a bad guy, he does BAD things with BAD people.

  • You really see Arvo making it to season 3? I higly doubt it

    New character death rule?

  • Oh yeah cause i'm sure that if the physically handicapped young, scared boy could easily stand up to a group of thugs who threatened to bite his neck out and eat his insides for breakfast

  • If i have a choice to let him come or not i wouldn't cause he's useless.

  • The way we believe how his situation is, he is forced to do the wrong thing, otherwise he would be dead, and survival has priority over morality, for anyone. He simply has no choice, people need to survive by any means necessary, it´s their instinct.

    So are you really saying you would die over having to do very morally wrong things? I doubt it, if you would, well you are just stupid for throwing away your life like that, since you probably aren´t stuck doing those wrong things forever and can always redeem yourself.

    Well, he's definitely unlucky. He came in on the wrong side at the wrong time. And I hope I can kill him just to prove a point of ethics.

  • i'm not saying i want him alive i really don't care about he's fate if he is danger to my group i will kill him

    I want Bonnie alive but Arvo dead.

  • I think this confirms Arvo's determinant status. If we're given a choice to kill him, who's taking it?

    FALSE. THERE IS NO CHOICE.

    IF YOU DON'T KILL HIM, KENNY WILL AND BEAT HIS CORPSE AROUND
