Am I the only one who has thought about what "Broken Toys" could symbolise?
The general consensus is that Suffer The Children refers to either the Bible or the John Saul book and that Take Us Back's sentimental connotations represent Clem's death, but no one's been talking about Broken Toys. There's an idea that I know is bound to be mentioned at some point, but I want to see how long it takes

Ain't got a clue. What do you think, OP?
Broken guns? Would be a weird one.
Broken characters? Much more realistic IMO.
Could represent Sophie and Minerva if the sex slave theory is true.
I think it represents the loss of innocence (Perhaps AJ's or other kid's)
I'm not good at symbolic stuff so I don't have any other ideas
Sophie and Minerva as sex toys have had their spirits broken
Took less than five posts
Yeah, that's my theory.
I just think it's like a loss of innocence/direction or something.
"Toys" representing childhood and innocence.
The remains of which are "broken" in Episode 3.
I doubt very much that it's what you're assuming, it's too dark even for a game like this I think.
I can get behind that TBH. It's just that the sex talk escalated so quickly that I struggled to come up with any alternatives.
Having said that, I'm not against dark themes like that.
It's not just dark, it's the darkest of the dark. While this game tells a tragic story, like all TWD Seasons, at heart it's still a story. Still something that you should enjoy sitting through. I think my enjoyment would end if Telltale really went that far and it would actually feel like a chore or punishment to have to sit through the game, rather than being an enjoyable experience.
Dark references like in Episode 1 are fine, but I don't want the game to go as far as showing full on sex slavery etc., on top of it all involving minors. I doubt Telltale will go there.
Maybe it's still slavery, just not sexual.
That's still pretty terrible, and I don't think it likely. What exactly would two teenagers do? Some people suggested they'd do dangerous work, crawling through small spaces or something. But I think the easiest (and worst) explanation is the most likely.
I genuinely think that, at this rate, a few people would be disappointed if it turned out not to be the case.
Broken toys is a 1935 Disney short film about a sailor doll in a dump that rallies the other broken toys and helps them to become fixed and escape the dump.
That's just me googling "broken toys".
Probably something to do with camp full of kids. We know every community Clementine ever arrived to got destroyed in matter of days. The title could hint towards the kids being forced to flee, leaving toys behind - pencils to colour, fireman to save the day, piano to play, etc - and face the terrible world or die not knowing how to handle real danger.
It’s not the darkest of the dark it’s dark for sure but not the darkest
Have you read the comics? TWD is supposed to be dark. Nothing out of tone to include human trafficking in a TWD story.
