I agree. It's like the developers thought there should be another guy besides Luke and Kenny, but we're too lazy to write an actual character. Mike was season 2's Mark. At least Mark wasn't a jerk before he died.
Mike sucks, but for different reasons. He's got no real personality, no real character, and he just leaves for shock value.
Nick and Sarah get the axe but "colorful and complex" Mike gets to live for another episode.
Lame.

If you ask me, Starved For Help's story is better than just about everything in the game, including stuff in S1
But that's just me, someo… morene who is definitely not biased towards episode 2 and definitely doesn't consider it the best episode of the entire series thus far.
I think the only weird part of is the Grade Clementine is in. She is 8 going on 9 in the first grade. Based off of this, she is 13 or 14, she would still be in the elementary school.
Clem's character in Season 1 seems a bit off. She's 8-going-on-9 years old; essentially a 3rd grader. However, TellTale wrote her at times… more as if she was a 5 or 6 year old; a kindergartener. Towards the end of Season 1 in episodes 4 and 5, see starts to come off as a believable 8 to 9 year old. Duck acted more realistic for his age than Clem did. Season 2 Clem acted more like her age than she did in Season 1. I don't know if TellTale was trying to keep her age ambiguous until they settled on an age or if she was supposed to be younger originally. I think it's the later due to Clem stating she was in 1st grade (which I will forever read as either an error in TellTale's script or Clem purposely lying).
Sort of. I don't mean childish as a immature thing, but more like she is portrayed younger than she is. It's like TellTale wrote for a younger character but changed her age at the last minute. Like she acts more like the 1st graders my mom has watched than the 3rd/4th graders. As I said though, this is more in the first half of the season. The second half has seems like they adjusted her character to match her age.
I know every kid is different, thus why I figured this would be an unpopular opinion since it's just from my perspective. I hope that made sense.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I just wanted to say...
Wow, TWD: Michonne episode 2 was fantastic! I thought episod… moree one was good, it wasn't great but it was good. But episode two was so much better.
The choices were really hard, and I really liked the action sequences (mainly in the first chapter), the combat/QTE's are just so much more fun in Michonne than the other TWD games, but I don't really know why.
So, yeah. Can't wait to play the final episode.
And then... Season three...
Not quite sure what that's got to do with having no personality. Mike, unfortunately, is what I sometimes call a "professional supporting character" in that he doesn't really get to do much on his own or for himself, so I at least understand people's criticism that he's "just a guy." It doesn't help that his original purpose was cut from the game for whatever reason; yet another contribution to Episode 3's bareness..
Mmm...I suppose, given one of my previous topics. Then again, considering Jane and Carley tend to generally be considered at the top, there is some established consensus to go by. And that consensus says that Rebecca looks ...odd.

I can see why, I know a lot of people hate it but I felt they did a decent job in that episode balancing the whole cast and peoples actions and intentions felt more authentic. I mean the determinant scenes were the real drawback to that episode along with a lack of major choice (but that was similar for all of season 2).
Yes, but Clem is 8 going on 9 in the first grade, so she would be in the fifth grade by the time she is 13 or 14 she would be in the fifth grade. (This being only possible if the apocalypse hasn't happened)
Norma and Randall are the ying and yang....she is the friendly face...he is the cold heart that does bad things
Michonne has no time for bullshit
Michonne actually has a proper arc
Michonne is what Clementine will turn into...someone who can be totally reasonable and loyal....but when things go south, she turns into a remorseless killing machine. And that is what it takes to survive. Much like how Rick Grimes has two different personalities....Officer Friendly, the charming folksy guy who maintains order with a steady hand...and Rictatorship...this is what we do..no questions...kill everyone that is in our way.
Loyalty is rewarded with respect and warmth. Everything else is a detriment.
The only problem I have with Michonne is that the episodes are short...and there are only 3.

Like I said, I feel like that was error by TellTale. I think Clem was supposed to be younger but the changed wasn't communicated through. I don't believe Clementine, who is portrayed as a smart kid, was held back two grades. But that's just my opinion.

Thanks. That was why I liked it. It was the only time in the game Clem could start a conversation with someone aside from when the group was first brought to the prison yard/lawn and garden dept. I don't know if this is unpopular, but I thought Episode 3 was the worst of the bunch. Carver was a spiteful jerk, not scary, and it should have been soooooo obvious to the guards Clem and Kenny were up to something.

Oh, I definitely agree. A bare bones story, a corny one-note villain, an woefully underutilized location, a pigeonholed protagonist, and Kenny hogging the spotlight at the expense of practically everyone else all adds up to make the weakest episode of the Season.
it should have been soooooo obvious to the guards Clem and Kenny were up to something.
The funny thing is you could make the case that they did, as Tavia and Troy both have brief moments where they could've caught on to their plan but seemingly ignore it due to skewered priorities.

Not even. During the episode 5 waiting period, Mike and Bonnie were the power couple. People even made fan art and mini fan fictions of them, Clem, and AJ surviving on their own as a mini group. Little did we all know what waited for us in episode 5...
You know, I've seen some people complain about that sound, but I personally don't see what the problem is
Given the manner of her death a… morend how it seemed instantaneous, I don't think that sound would be too far off from what a person getting a knife jammed through their sternum would sound like.
That being said though, I haven't actually seen someone get a knife jammed through their sternum first-hand, so I might be wrong.
I cannot for the life of me comprehend Nick and his abnormally large fan base/popularity. Every single other character I can at least somewhat grasp the justifications of why they are likeable, even if taken to extreme extents: Ben, Kenny, Clementine, Luke, Jane, Sarah, etc. But Nick is such an anomaly that baffles me. To me, he seems like almost everyone else in the cabin group: a character with an interesting backstory that didn't really reach their maximum potential as a character.
Can someone who is a fan of Nick or at least understands his character legitimately explain this to me? What do you see in Nick's character that you don't see in anyone else?
Comments
Mike shows up, just does things, and leaves or gets shot by Clementine.
Attractiveness is relative isn't it?
I agree. It's like the developers thought there should be another guy besides Luke and Kenny, but we're too lazy to write an actual character. Mike was season 2's Mark. At least Mark wasn't a jerk before he died.
Yes.
Season 2.
Mark at least foreshadowed for future events. Mike couldn't even do that.
Even though episode two was amazing, Lee's redemption story is still better in my opinion.
I think the only weird part of is the Grade Clementine is in. She is 8 going on 9 in the first grade. Based off of this, she is 13 or 14, she would still be in the elementary school.

Well 13-14 is usually 8th grade, the end of US middle school.
Major shit will go down in Episode 3.
Have fun playing
I like Season 2 more than Season 1.
I think that Season 1 IS better, but for many reasons Season 2 resonated with me more.

Yesss. Judging by the trailer it seems very intense.
Just... Please don't die Sam and Pete... (Please do not comment on that)
Mmm...I suppose, given one of my previous topics. Then again, considering Jane and Carley tend to generally be considered at the top, there is some established consensus to go by. And that consensus says that Rebecca looks ...odd.
Good to know I'm not the only person here that watches that show...
Holy crap, I totally forgot that guy's was Mike.
I can see why, I know a lot of people hate it but I felt they did a decent job in that episode balancing the whole cast and peoples actions and intentions felt more authentic. I mean the determinant scenes were the real drawback to that episode along with a lack of major choice (but that was similar for all of season 2).
Hahaha, I didn't even notice that.
Yes, but Clem is 8 going on 9 in the first grade, so she would be in the fifth grade by the time she is 13 or 14 she would be in the fifth grade. (This being only possible if the apocalypse hasn't happened)
Michonne may in fact be the best TWD game so far.

I'm probably the only one but...
I think Mike and Bonnie would make a nice couple.
If you finished TWD:Michonne ,what did you think of Ep 3?
Agreed, I guess.
Agreed, with continuity and wasted characters/plots being the others.
I ship them.
I also agree. Those were the best episodes.
Like I said, I feel like that was error by TellTale. I think Clem was supposed to be younger but the changed wasn't communicated through. I don't believe Clementine, who is portrayed as a smart kid, was held back two grades. But that's just my opinion.
Well doesn't it have to be that she failed a grade twice, It could be she started school really late. But yeah, it was probably a small error.
I like them well enough.
I think the tv show is overrated. Dosen't suck, but it's a tad overrated.
Retroactive slight shift in opinion here, but part of me doesn't want to see Arvo return.

I haven't played episode 3 yet, but I'll post what I thought of it when I do.
They're both thieves and traitors. They deserve each other.
i obviously need to make my jokes more clearer lol.
Really now? Care to give some examples?
