Luke will not be her caretaker (Spoilers)
It has come to my attention that many people believe that Luke will become Clementines new caretaker, the next Lee as some say. Well wasnt the whole point of killing off Lee was so Clementine could become her own person and there would be a season 2 in the first place? I thought it was made pretty obvious after the early exits of Omid and (possibly) Christa that this was the case. Let me know what you think

I don't want him to be her caretaker. Maybe they can take care of each other and develop a brother/sister relationship as opposed to the parental figure/child relationship Lee and Clem had.
What if they became partners? Like they have each others back, they value each other equally and they don't feel the need to baby each other. They can go full Lee on a herd of "walkers."
Luke isn't ready to be anyone's caretaker. He's not developed well enough yet, he's not nearly as confident as Lee was for example, his uncertainity about Clem in the beginning proves that he's just not there yet, he's not a fully matured adult mentally.
He could be her sidekick though.
Yes that would be good. It just really doesnt sit well with me that they killed off Lee so she could become her own, but then bring in a totally new character to take his place, and it really bug me that people actually are ok with that. A brother/sister relationship would be good though
uh, duh
it's obvious that Clementine becomes Luke's caretaker. Then he'll be forced to kill/leave Clem to become a zombie and then we'll go on a journey of Luke surviving the zombie wasteland as a young,hardened, African American girl.
Seems valid
Yes also true we dont know a whole lot about him which is why it suprises me many people jumped to the conclusion of him becoming her caretaker. For all we know he could be a physcopath, which i dont think but who knows we have barely got to know him
*He *might start to think of himself as this. If this is the case, presumably Clem would be able to tell him to back off.
I hope not. I just flat-out don't trust the man. The speed at which he flip-flops between being a "nice guy" and a hysterical asshole makes him highly suspicious in my eyes. Just check out some of Luke's more callous remarks towards Clem when he thought she was bitten by a zombie, followed by his hypocritical behaviour back at the cabin when he tells the other survivors off for coming down on Clem.
I'll bear with Luke for now and see how he develops as a character, but in the meantime I'll keep my version of Clem a safe distance from him if I can.
Well, the initial purpose of season 1 was to have "Lee" (he had a different name and completely different backstory) be Clementine's older brother. Maybe we will get to see that sort of bond created here, only from Clem's perspective.
Pete has Nick.
Carlos has Sarah.
Alvin has Rebecca and her unborn child (depending on if its actually his child too).
Luke lost his entire family, same as Clem. It makes sense for them to empathize with each other to some extent. While Clem doesn't need someone to hold her hand anymore, she still can't kill a walker with a single hammer swing (she's a decent shot, I'll give her that). She still needs some level of help from adults. Luke could fill that role.
My thoughts exactly. It's like how in the show Carl has become a decent shot, but just realized that he can still use Rick's help.
I didnt know that about season 1 thanks for that
A good saying that applies to the scenario: "God made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal." Clementine is as dangerous (theoretically) as an adult if she has a gun. Even still, she will still need the help of adults with some things.
Yep guess we will just have to wait and see what kind of person he really is. Hopefully we get more character development in episode 2
Clem is badass on her own,she doesn't need a caretaker.
Agreed, not anymore anyways
Thats some pretty good points you got there
+1
Yeah i definetly agree she needs some help from adults since she is still a kid, and she could have a closer relationship with particular members, like Luke for example. A brother\sister relationship would fit well but not Luke taking over as her caretaker as some have suggested.
I think that's what Mr Euss meant. A more or less equal brother/sister relationship, as in they both rely and help each other, as opposed to the 'guardian and protector Lee in charge' relationship of season 1.
Not to say that Clem didn't help out in season 1, she helped a lot, she actually saved the day on quite a few occasions.
And they clearly need Clem's level of common sense.
wut
Luke is gonna feel like he has to protect Clem at first but then once they're around each other for a while he'll realize she can do it on her own and start treating her like a capable survivor
I really hope you're right.
Made me chuckle
Idk, Clem telling Luke that people tend to die around her seemed pretty ominous..
And ruined ir on a few others
Really? I kind of felt like an able bodied adult male would have helped in the confrontation with Winston, and nearly every other horrible situation Clem was put through.
Yeah, I said that too. To be honest, I think his thoughts at that moment were more along the lines of, "God this poor little girl is carrying so much guilt, it can't be her fault." and will make him more inclined to help Clem. However, it almost certainly means that he's dead come episode 5.
I agreed on the badass part haha yeah she still could use some help but not a caretaker. I think everyone in a ZA could use help every once in a while
Me too What a terrible thought
I think by episode 4 he and most of the cabin group will have died based on the episode slide. It looks like something terrible happened but slides arent always accurate
