Clementine can't be 11 years old!
Since the beginning of season 2 . Clem became stronger although there's no much food or water .. for example :
She can kick doors , Kill zombies or put them to the ground , or even use guns effectively to kill zombies ....
She has so strong teeth that she can bite and hurt other men ( Winston in episode 1 ) ...
Another thing : She BARELY cries although everything around her is absolute shit , she lost her parents , lee and other people ...
SHE seems more stable than three adults combined , she was surprised a very little by Omid's death , Kenny's yelling at her ,
and Carver's beating ( if you chose to watch ) , She gave strong advices to Sarah like ( you can control pain-friends make us stronger)
And not to mention , she's also a girl not a boy which should make her more sensitive , too much for an 11 year old girl , don't you think ?

Yeah, she's clearly 47.
Ever since Lee died she gained his super human strength. Lee is always within her heart and the power of love is the strongest thing on this earth
Its bad writing. I agree that Clemmy is OP as hell, it can happend, but it just happend too fast. She even got a injury in Episode one, and just a few days later (Episode 4) she can kill walkers easily.
Writing are bad, they should show us HOW she got that strong and not just making her OP because she is the main charachter.
Bad writing telltale, bad writing...
Actually its a week or so later because it took the cabin group 5 days to get to the ski lodge
Well, in this world i think it's logical.....
Clem's childhood has passed now since she was 8 years old, i think that after 3 years of this world she is more strong and less emotional...
Yes, maybe in some cases her age is overestimated, but honestly I did not notice it...
Well she's become traumatized, and she likely closes up emotionally. And she spent 16 months alone with Christa, who probably didn't want to deal with tears or anything like that. Clementine is likely eventually going to have a meltdown or just break emotionally.
When the world has gone upside down and faith in the feeling of protection and control is vanished, you learn to adapt to your new environment fast. Because of her young age and high maturity she learns quickly about her post-world surroundings and what she needs to do to not die. She's grown very strong in a short period of time thanks to Lee and the groups she's been with. Deep down, she could snap like Sarah did at any given time, but she's survived for too long to give up quickly and become cowardly.
After what has happened to Duck and Sarah, she's most likely more aware just how important it is to stay alive
My fault. It still doesent change the fact that she will kill things so EASILY. We should play as a KID not an OP badass killer. Clementine is not that.
I know it will get downvotes, but i'm just saying the truth.
I love clementine she is my favorite second charachter, but the writing are making her unrealistic, sadly.
Desensitised is the right word i believe.
In this case...Clem must be Bigby!
Yeah I agree with you 100% if you're going to make the protagonist a little girl, treat her like one. Don't make her be able to do everything! I know she's small and that's and advantage but when I was 11 I don't know think I could bust down a door or even hold off a walker all by myself
Jeez, I knew about the man's ability to change disguises, but damn, he was masquerading as a little girl all this time? Goddamn.
The strength and durability of a walker is complicated. A walker seems to be rather easy to kill. The decomposition of them in Season 2 makes them probably more delicate than Season 1. Main reason why people still die to them is fear. If a rotting walking corpse is lunging at you, you either fight back, or die in paralyzed terror.
I see your point though.
Agent 47.
(that goddamn glitch, sending post again)
Jeez, I knew about the man's ability to change disguises, but damn, he was masquerading as a little girl all this time? Goddamn.
She's your playable character, so of course she has to be somehow strong enough to do anything at all.
'she's also a girl not a boy which should make her more sensitive'.
I'm not even going to start.
Just...no.
A girl can have bigger "balls" than a boy.She is just mentally like this because of the conditions of her environment.She was taught to survive by Lee, she , probably, mourned her parents when she was at the Motor Inn and didn't let anyone know. She was an introvert before the apocalypse and was tutored by survivers after it.This explains why she doesn't show fear or other expexted reactions. 11 years olders can kick down doors.She was raised to be phisically fir and the door was anyway damaged after the outbrake(don't forget that 2 years have passed by now).Even little kids can bite you pretty good! I want to say that if you want to calculate her age, you need to do it mathematically, not using the "this seems kooky for a kid to do so she must have passed puberty" argument because you don't know how could the apocalypse affect her.Some things seem a little farfetched,yea, but she's still 11.
Bigby breaks down the door
Clementine breaks down the door
Then she is 12 years old
This is actually a good point. Compared to 2 years ago, the entire world has become weaker, due to little to no new manufacturing of supplies/goods and distribution. Add to that decomposing Walkers, some which are 2 years old, and they're probably as fragile as can be.
The feats of strength I can get past it is the everyone relying on an 11 year old to do all the dangerous jobs I have trouble with sometimes.
and she has bin walking cross the country for close to 3 years that builds muscle in your legs even with little food
After that sentence, i realized you clearly have no idea of what you're talking about
Her age isn't the only thing that makes her stronger, Its really what shes been through and what shes had to done that makes her stronger, not her age.
Because if it was age, then why isn't Sarah stronger then her? clem is stronger then Sarah because of what clem has been through, age doesn't necessarily have to do with it.
oh yeah and
...... not gonna even bother.
1/10, try not to be sexist.
16 months isn't the same thing as 16 years dummy.
She became stronger... duh? It's the zombie apocalypse. So much physical activity would make anyone stronger... especially a little girl who would probably not have had anything more than the occasional hyper extensive run around (which is actually unlikely considering her personality).
The average finger requires only as much force as a baby carrot to bite through. Of course she can bite and hurt men (or anyone...).
She barely cries... after all the stuff you listed I don't understand how that surprises you. Not to mention the others you mentioned were accustomed to the normal world more than she was at the start of the ZA due to their years living in it.
She gave advice to Sarah.... not sure what your argument is here?
" she's also a girl not a boy which should make her more sensitive," Wait... what?
yeah, i thought when they decided to make a child the protagonist, they would have to be really clever and design a story around how a child could cope and still be useful in the zombie apocalypse, like they would have to figure out ways her size could be an advantage and figure out ways to do things with so little strength, but even though they sometimes mention that she is small and weak compared to lee, most of the time they just ignore it and we are supposed to believe and go along with that, basically clementine could have been an adult and there would be no difference in the game except a line or two of dialogue
and there is the problem.
There is currently a documentary called Children of Syria on BBC, kids grow up fast in tough times, in real life its actually really sad.
She's about 11 and 2 and half months old so she can be super strong
Younger children can adapt to new situation fast. Since they haven't really known much before hand, its easy to adapt to a new way of living. Its much easy for her to adjust to a zombie apocalypse that an adult because of her age. Plus adrenaline can make humans do some amazing stuff. For example... a young child, sees their parent drowning with no one around to help.... adrenaline will kick on and the child has the ability to swim out save the parent and pull the parent back to safety. Adrenaline can make humans like superheroes.
And I hugely dislike this thread, so what if she is a little girl? Doesn't mean she can't be tougher than a boy her age. I know various girls who are and have been better than boys, stronger than boys, faster than boys, smarter than boys. Being a little girl has nothing to do with strength. Boys can cry and break down as much as a girl can. Girls can keep things bottled in and not let things get to them as much as boys can. That statement that because she's a little girl, she should be sensitive and weaker than a boy, IS SUCH BULLSHIT.
When she kicked down the door it was funny.
Anyone with a brain knows that all you need to do to kill a walker is to destroy the brain. It's not rocket science.
About Clem using guns, so what? Just because she's 11 that means she doesn't know how to aim and shoot a gun? Did you play S1 at all? Lee taught her how to shoot, what you think that wouldn't matter?
Just because she is a kid, that means she has to cry all the time?
Stable more than three adults combined, well she's the PC.
What do you want? Clem to cry dramatically about Omid?
Kenny's yelling at her, She was upset that he was yelling at her.
Carver's beating, well she was seeing someone get their face beaten in with a crowbar. She's seen stuff like that before.
She gave advice to Sarah, well I guess that Clem was trying to teach Sarah.
She's a girl, not a boy that should make her sensitive. Kenny is sad and depressed, 103 to present. Are you gonna make a thread calling Kenny a girl not a boy?
Well, Sarah is 15 but acts like a child, what's your next thread? Sarah was actually a 6 year old?
Are you being serious?
Some things about Clementine may seem unrealistic like her physical strength and resilience, but Clem is not your average 11 year old. Through Lee's legendary guidance and her own will to survive, she has become a very wise and capable person.
What is it with people thinking Clementine is super strong? Do people just not think they could be as strong or brave as an 11 year old?
i think it's just that with lee, we could believe he could overcome his near death struggles because he was clearly big and strong, but with clementine it takes a much bigger stretch of the imagination to believe what she does is possible, i think if lee had had ben's build people would have complained about his unbelievable strength
Why are people being butthurt ? Girls are naturally more sensitive than boys.
I havent seen her do anything that I thought was outrageous. Shes not fighting monsters single-handed. She uses what strength and cunning she has to get out of jams. I dont know. I guess I could see how it would be strange for some people but I really dont see it.
