F*** Kenny
I told myself that I wouldn't do another playthrough until all episodes were out but after ep 2 I have decided to do another run with the sole purpose of treating Kenny like the piece of shit he is. It may not be my canonical playthrough but he has to pay for his cowardice somehow

He ends up saving you at the "Danny execution" scene.
And why it has ZERO replayability.
Anyone have tried this?
Yeah Lilly comes to your rescue as Kenny just hides in the stall looking scared as hell.
Now, since my "screw Kenny" playthrough, I can see how big a piece of trash he is.
This is the only game I have played that has actually made me feel betrayed by a character...keep up the good work telltale.
Was slightly sad that my batteries didn't follow me over. I purposefully kept them just to see if I could watch the video earlier. Nope!
I agree - the number of times you have to give up your principles for this guy is one time too many.
The only real alliance would be with Clem and Carly / Doug. Lilly is unstable without Larry, so we need Episode 3 to see where her character heads towards.
I'm gonna replay it because I am being driven nuts because he constantly brings it up when arguing with me. I started to go against him in things near end of episode 2 because i was sick of his crap.
i like kenny and his values but he holds grudges like no other
I agree-also this will lead to lilly leaving there side due to that ass. there was a difference between the two guys in the woods that you bring back to camp they died from blood lost and there was bigger chance of them turning. larry didn't hit the ground for no more than 15 to 30 seconds and lilly was on him. she said she has seen him in worse conditions in episode 1 and there was a chance he would be fine! Regardless kenny didn't even give a chance to see if it was possble for him to recover
Yeah this bugged me in Episode 1 how Shawn could've been saved. And then in the Drug Store Kenny has the guts to say that Shawn's blood is on their hands. I'm pretty sure Lee could've worked together with Kenny to save Shawn after Duck was saved. Instead he ran away like the coward he's become. But you never know he may redeem himself in future episodes, only time will tell...
Besides, no one in the room it's a medic and he stops breathing. Enough. Larry doesn't deserve more time or efforts. And dealing with a zombie with the Larry's size it's not easy. They need to act quickly.
I'm sorry for Lilly, I swear.
At the moment, here's a Kenny supporter.
I wonder how many people would shoot kenny in the back soon as they get to his boat and get it running
Wouldn't that be a fun way to end the game?
won't lie I did not like larry in episode 1. I wanted him to die by lee's hands not kenny's! this was not about how lee was almost killed in the drug store. This was about kenny not listen to any voice of reason! However it's was ok for him to defend duck against larry when larry thought he was bite and lee and kenny had to stall so there was proof! it was the same thing in reverse but kenny didn't allow any defense. He attacked a man who had a heart attack with out proof!
Not that i don't have a another save storage just for the kill
Would you risk being locked with a guy who has left breathing and can become a walker at any moment?
Do you need more proof than the lack of breathing and absence of pulse on those circumstances?
But there were options for Larry. They could have gagged Larry (to prevent a surprise bite) while trying to resuscitation him. Even pinned down his arms.
I don't find Larry blameless in his own death however. He knows his own medical history, and that he needs to keep his blood pressure down. He did partially bring it on himself.
But Kenny is a coward and a fool (I see where Ducky gets it! Ducky kept eating Markloaf after I ran in and shouted "Don't eat that!"). Maybe in the "always back Kenny" play through he helps with Danny. But in my try for Larry attempt, Kenny goes off half-cocked way too often. He sped out of the slaughter house, he ran out of the barn.
And after he got shot, I found myself hoping he would die so the group could have a Katjaa unhindered by Kenny. Then I saw the "next time" video and was disappointed.
Yes, he helps Lee with Danny. Danny doesn't know there are two persons hiding. Kenny goes out and cut him with a tool from the slaughter (I don't know the name now...
I admit Kenny it's a little selfish but he fights for the people who loves when it needs (included good friends).
In my playtrough he didn't breath, he didn't have a pulse and his heart had stopped pumping blood...
If that Isn't a valid reason to crush a man heads in the zombie apocalypses then I don't know what is...
Also at the end of ep 1 Larry makes it clear that he is watching out for Clem as well as his own daughter whereas Kenny is only concerned for his OWN family.
In fact...the more attention I pay to Kenny's character the more I see the db he is.
That will do, Pig.
Agreed - Larry is a dick, but he worries about his daughter and Clementine. He also saved Lee's life even though he hated his guts. He talks tough, but I'm sure he's a softy at heart.
-Reach the boat
-Wait for him to start it
- Kill Kenny
-FREEDOM!!!
At least you can disagree with Lilly and her father a few times and she doesnt act like a baby.
Yeah, I'm done with Kenny. Telltale did a great job of developing his character in this episode though. Really interesting to see his character change under the stressful situations. For most of the episode I thought I'd pick Kenny, if I had to take sides but now I think I'll be siding with Lilly in the next episode.
Yeah, I thought so myself, but in the Episode 3 preview it seemed like Lilly will start to lose it too... So I'm not sure if I'll continue siding with her, but we'll see in Ep3.
This is all pretty reactionary folks...
Every member of the group so far has had bad moments, has been less than perfect, has done stuff that you would rather they didn't...
Like real life... except that these people are experiencing life in extremis after the balloon has gone up.
Lee, for me, is the glue that has to keep the disparate band together - he has to tolerate others when they behave like idiots, and to forgive and forget when they balls things up.
Community & cooperation are the factors which give primate groups the advantage in survival over other species. We're in this game as prey hunted by a species (ie zombies) with advantages over us, which can only really be overcome by brain power in the context of a team/community.
You're never gonna find a team where you agree with everyone, and if you hold a grudge, you are weakening the team. You may think that being a lone-wolf hard assed survivor is the way to go... human history will prove you wrong. In times of crisis it is strong communities that survive. You have to sleep, you will get ill, other people will have better ideas than you, your primate brain is hardwired for social interaction.
Kenny ballsed up & let you down. Other times he hasn't. Maybe he saved us all when he mashed Larry's head. Forgive, forget, move on & try keep the team together at all costs, or we will be meat. Time for Lee to be strong.
overall, i think lilly is more trustworthy..
and you backed him when it was his son in that position. that kenny will try to redeem himself in later chapters . realizing he went too far
Just a minor nitpick.. as Ben stated earlier in the episode.. the 'bite' has nothing to do with turning into a walker.. all you have to do is die. Then you become a walker. I let Larry die.. for a multitude of reasons. He's an ass.. He know's Lee is a murderer. But most importantly... having a 6'+ 220+ pound walker, in tight quarters with no *established* escape route... sorry.. better to be safe than sorry, and losing anyone else that was locked in the room. Definitely a self defense thing, IMO.
also if you help him get rid of Larry, he does indeed help you deal with Danny, however
dont expect Lilly to help you with the other brother when he wants to fry your face on the wire
Lilly was desperately trying to save her dad and there was a chance to do it (and, in fact, I think you save him before the… you know). And if he died, Kenny could be there prepared to do what he did (by the way, great job done by the writers, I really felt like I should try to help Larry even disliking him).
But I really got disappointed with Kenny. He can always redeem himself, but it seems there is no middle ground with him. You are 100% with him (no matter what he says and do) or you are an enemy.
He is with the group only for security. If they get into a desperate situation he will simply flee with his family and leave everyone to die. The only thing that may avoid him from doing it is his wife (I think).
