WatchMojo: Kenny is the #2 best dad in gaming!

  • I think the title should be "Dads with the best character arc in Video Gaming" and not just "Best Dads in Gaming".

    The video seems more in favour to fathers that have better character writing and personality than their actions and devotion to their children.

    The same situation...well Kenny was thrown into the same situation again. He denied Sarita's death in Amid the Ruins if Kenny brings her back to the tent. But the difference was Sarita begged for him to put her out of her misery, but he waited again to "make sure" in case she didn't turn, even though he'd already been through this. He doomed her to a slow painful death against her wishes, which was not how she wanted to die. You don't do that to those you love, if you truly love and respect them and their decisions. Especially if you've already been through it before. I bet the reason that scene wasn't shown on screen was because Sarita's last words must've been, "Why are you doing this? Just give me my peace...Let me go...." but Kenny wouldn't listen. Denial to the point of cruelty.

    I also feel the need to point out that I'm annoyed as crap that in ep 5 at the campfire scene, Kenny mentions missing Katjaa and Duck but conveniently forgets mentioning Sarita. And then if you comfort Kenny after you shoot him Clem can say, "You'll see Katjaa and Duck again soon!" but you know, screw Sarita. Probably they didn't mention her because picturing Duck, Katjaa and Sarita all together meeting Kenny is awkward as hell, and we wouldn't want any awkwardness in Kenny's "emotional" death scene now would we. It's not just Kenny who's denying things now; the whole game is denying Sarita's existence.

    I find that if most people were put in the same situation, they'd deny it.

  • wow i got called prepubescent by "BoatsNHoes", sure

    but i guess kenny was a pretty good father, regardless of how much i wanted him dead.

  • I think the title should be "Dads with the best character arc in Video Gaming" and not just "Best Dads in Gaming".

    And even then half of them shouldn't be there. There aren't enough (good) fathers in gaming to make a strong top 10 list.

    Why does every Kenny related post need to have some sort of tension? Either there is some sort of baiting, a civil opinion is thought to be baiting, or shots are fired between fans and/or haters. Ugh, I'll never understand. This is why I never talk about Kenny anymore. It's goddamn ridiculous.

  • You have a point there.

  • Well, he's a character a lot of people love and are loyal to him while other's hate him and hate people talking about how much they love him and always challenge their opinions. That's how this competition starts, I don't think I'll quite understand it myself but I've learnt on this forum you can't have an opinion. :P

  • Booker DeWitt being "a honorable mention" is absolute bullshit. Geralt and Ciri are missing too.

  • Lol you must take after Kenny's arrogance :)

    and so?

  • Let's all just agree that Kenny is mentally ill.

  • "...prepubescent Kenny haters"? I was thinking it was the other way around. Anyway, I don't think Kenny should've been at the number 2 spot; maybe at number 5 or 6, he certainly shouldn't have been higher than Ethan Mars.

  • Yeah but Season 2 wasn't the best, so why not just focus on Season 1's shit.

  • ...? I said, if arguing about Kenny. Don't use Season 2 because that basically massacred everything about the characters. Season 1 is full of better examples to use

    Oh yes, season 1 had a lot of things that proves Kenny is not the best father.

    i thought you were speaking of season 1 in general.

    dont mind me, im going crazy.

  • Why not use Season 2. Kenny is in it and he does play a pretty big role.

  • I love Kenny as well. I think he was a great dad.He is a protector. He wants whats best for the people he loves. Even in Season 2 he Just tells the Weligton group to take the kids. Hes a great guy and a great friend. And as you said it, a great dad! #TeamKenny. Also if you hate Kenny... Cool we all have our own opinions and I respect it. Thats what makes these games great. The discovery of what characters you love and hate. And for me? Im a Kenny fan.

    Ah, okay, you childishly taunt people that have a different opinion than you, and they are the prepubescents? Sure.

    i mean, it's not as if there are JUST as many childish Kenny Lovers who defend even his most selfish and brutal acts. Like, you know, since to them Kenny is Jesus himself and the root to all good (and there are too many of them).

    Don't get me wrong, while I personally hate Kenny, he is not the most evil character (even though for me he is a murderer), yet calling him the second best father for doing something every good father would do? Nah. What I expect from the second best father would be something extraordinary, like going trough Hell literally, or walking trough fire, again, literally. Especially as he even himself admits that he wasn't the best father. AND trying to murder one of the last people that's close to a child you are protecting IN FRONT OF HER, who already has lost many loved ones, is not something a good Family Man would do. Or in general, a good person.

    And please, looking at your taunt, stop fueling this stupid childish annoying Kenny Lover vs. Kenny Hater fight. Both sides have their trolls and kids that act like it is the most important thing in the world, and saying what you said, as if only Kenny Lovers are reasonable and mature, makes it only worse.

  • With a spork.

    The dad who called his son dumb as a box of hammers, lol. Okay, Watchmojo.

  • Well, I think he was a great dad before the apocalypse, and he tried, he did, but Duck is dead... Let's face the facts.

  • That wasn't his fault though. Right?

    Well, I think he was a great dad before the apocalypse, and he tried, he did, but Duck is dead... Let's face the facts.

  • It's not best dads. It's dads in video games.

  • I think Kenny's awesome, i think he was right every time except when he blamed Clem, so i gave him shit for it in the tent and i forgave him in episode 5... I also liked Jane until she lied... I still like her but I had Kenny kill her...

    Now, if anyone wants to insult me or tell me i'm wrong for having an opinion of my own in a video game:

    Mine too.

    And I am still lost as to why he was number 2 on the list after how he treated his son.

  • It was terribly written and had to rely solely on Kenny to make an actual story.

    Apologize. Maybe one day our fathers will get the sense knocked into em and realize they don't know what they're doing.

    Same here. Harry Mason deserves to be there instead. Kenny just does not know what he's doing.
