Christa's fate
Hi! First sorry for my English. I'm no native speaker.
As we all are waiting for a new episode I analyzed what happened in the forrest and came to a conclusion that there are only two good and possible ways about what happened to Christa.
She got killed - I think it's really possible. Many of you probably paid attention and depending of choises you saw/heard she was stabbed with this thing and then heard a gunshot. Winston (guy attacking Clem) also doesn't look as if anything was wrong so I think it's pretty possible Christa is now dead and we will meet a Walker in coming episodes
Black guy did not kill her - This is why I'm posting it. It's just a theory which I haven't seen here before. I guess this is the only way for Christa not to die.When Winston stabbed Christa and 3rd guy maybe ran in different direction to catch Clem, he decided he cannot kill Innocent woman and helped her escape. I don't think Christa could disarm any of them offscreen.
Again sorry for my English. What you think happaned to Christa?
Comments
I really hope she is not dead,first Omid and after a 16 months time skip Christa? I hope it's the ''i thought you were dead'' person.
My oppinion, or maybe not an oppinion but kind of an idea is that she either gets stabbed or shot in the leg. After that she's saved from the bandits by one group, wich I would sya is Carver's group...
Now she might be alive as their captive or she's alive as member of the group
Maybe detrminant? Clem saving her she might be alive however if she dosnt I think she is dead
I would like this but then Christa would have to react quickly. When Clem threw a rock at Vernon face Christa didn't do anything so bandits could even chase Clem. I think black guy wouldn't be so distracted but who knows?
His name is winston not vernon
Vernon was the dude who stole the boat...remember?
Gonna respost a theory I made from another thread
Part 1:
Theory time!
Winston's urged to dispose of Clementine quickly by a frantic Victor because I'm pretty sure Carver's group found them at that point and they needed to hurry. His original intent was to probably question her, or something.
Pay close attention... No one in Winston's trio was carrying a rifle, there were only two pistols, one on Ralph, and one on Victor. And yet, when Christa starts to run, we hear a RIFLE shot soundbite in the distance.
I'm thinking that at point, someone who'd heard the commotion from far away, much like Clem, came to see what it was all about and saved Christa by shooting Ralph [who likely dies at that point, explaining why he's not found with Victor in the river bank]. Then Victor, realizing someone had the upper hand on him [his handgun vs someone's rifle in the distance] , turns tail and starts running after Winston to warn him they should forget the girl and run.
What we see when Clementine fails to get away is Victor successfuly catching up to Winston and then they both run away. If Clementine wins, Victor finds a dead Winston [explains why Winston's spear ended up at the river, Victor takes it for himself], and then makes a run for it on his own.
Then, he ultimately ends up being tracked down by Carver and killed on that river bank.
Part 2 :
When you try to distract the scavengers, you see Christa start running , then the camera turns away and you hear a handgun shot sound followed by her screaming and a strange sound which could be of someone hitting the ground hard [she was probably shot in the leg so she'd stop running], and THEN shortly after that you hear the rifle shot that presumably kills Ralph.
Note that in this first scene you hear a handgun soundbite and a rifle one soon afterwards. It seems like they bothered to use specific gun soundbites for this scene, so maybe,unlike Katja's scene, they paid attention this time and really did mean the last shot to be specifically a rifle's ?
And in the alternate choice, when you try to sneak away, she gets stabbed in the leg by Winston's spear before he goes after Clem, which causes her to not try to run and you ONLY hear the rifle gunshot when the camera turns away, no handgun , screaming, or hitting the ground [because the scavengers didn't need to shoot her with their handguns since she couldn't run]
So there you have it, either way she gets a leg injure [handgun or spear] and ends up being saved by a person with a rifle.
Thanks. Sure, I still keep calling him Vernon for some reason.
Pretty sure she got away. I don't think she'd be killed off off screen like that.
I wouldn't be surprised if she's with the group that took out Roman's group at the river
If you fail to escape winston in the forest they tell him they killed her. So I think she is dead.
Exactly, Every major charatcher that was killed was seen on-screen, expect for Katja, and you get to see her dead... Ben is killed in the alley isn't really seen die, but it's obvious he died you can see Kenny point the gun at him and him shutting up after the shot.
So Christa is alive I would say and either part of Carver's group or part or the group that got attacked by Carver (Roman was in one of them)
I keep hearing that they used a rifle sound for Katja's death this is correct right? I think they might've done that to have a louder ehoeing effect to drum up the scene. Correct me if i'm wrong but a rifle generally would be more hearable than a handgun sound right? If so I believe this is why they did this because in that scene it seems like Lee runs for a little bit before getting to Katja and Duck in the forest and a simple little handgun shot wouldn't cut it.
Yeah but if you fail to escape Winston kills Clem, so I don't think we can go off none canon outcomes to explain character death.
If she's dead, I want to see the body.
Yeah, I just can't see them killing a major character off screen. That's part of my argument for Kenny, and we've even LESS reason to think Christas dead than him.
I don't think they really say they killed her, they jsut say they have no time for them and for Winston to dispatch Clem... That's why manny people believe in the theory of Christa was saved by other group and one of the bandits got killed and "guy from the river" escaped, that's why he says "we have no time..."
The reason why Telltale didn't show if Christa died or not is because they want us to believe she is still alive (maybe she is who knows...) and that she could be the " i thought you were dead " person. If we did see Christa dieing then it would be even more obvious that the i though you were dead person is gonna be Kenny.
I'm pretty sure it's Kenny anyway dude...
Yes, the rifle sound was used for Katjaa's suicide, despite her only having a pistol at the time. In all likelihood, it was just them reusing sounds to make it more obvious what happened. That's not so say Christa didn't survive, though. You can actually see her running away if you choose to distract the scavengers, before the shot is fired, so there's still plenty of hope that she could have survived.
no offense but don't jump to the gun she might not be dead just because people heard the gunshot doesn't really assume she was the one that got killed. all I'm saying is she might not be dead.
Yeah, they got sloppy in Katja's scene, but this time they bothered to use both the handgun and the rifle soundbites specifically [or not use the handgun one at all when Christa didn't need to be shot by Ralph to be stopped, if you picked "sneak away"].
I think they did that specifically this time so we'd really assume it is a rifle.
I wanna have faith that Telltale wouldn't make the same mistake twice... knowing whether it was actually a rifle or not through the soundbite makes all the difference when thinking up theories :[
Yeah, I really hope not. It just seems like there's so much potential story with Christa. What happened to the baby? Does she blame Clem for Omid's death? Could she live up to Lee's trust in her to look after Clem?
I hope she didn't blame her. I'm not being mean or anything but in S1 when Omid and Lee jumped off the bridge it was pretty stupid because how can Lee make it but not Omid and he made damage to his leg which they blamed lee for. and his leg was a disadvantage for his running in S1 and S2 so don't you think it's kind of Omid's fault for his death besides that freak Michelle I think that's her name killing him.
Yeah, but Clem left the gun lying on the basin. Irresponsible.
I just think it would be an interesting dynamic in their relationship. Christa can't help but think "what if Clem had held on to her gun", "what if Clem hadn't been with us"
well she was a kid she would of been killed if Lee didn't show up in S1 and if she didn't see Omid and Christa in the end of S1
I agree, Chrita most likely thought that, when someone you love dies your brain tends to search for explanations, reasons and people to blame for the deadth, so it makes sense... And I'm 100% sure Christa had those toughts trying to get an answer for Omid's death, but she is a racional person, even though she had those thoughts on her mind she problably just decided not to let her self be filled by them wich would lead to a serious resentment towards Clem, and I'm sure she understands she's a kid.
In the beggining of episode 1 I said "I miss Lee" but I've seen on the internet if you sy "I miss Omid" Christa will get very angry towards you, wich shows that Christa had that thoughts and pushed them inside her so they wouldn't affect her relantionship wuith Clem and so she doesn't want to talk about what happened or Omid because it will bring those thoughs up and painfull memories of Omid
that's pretty mean to Clementine it wasn't her fault. she didn't pick up the gun. Michelle was the one who shot him.
if you get killed by Winston in the woods, right befor he kills you, on one of the guy comes running up to Winston saying: "FORGET ABOUT THE GIRL! WE GATA GO! FINISH HER! then he shots clem.
so
I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that people do that, people try to get logicalk explanations for something where no one had to be blame... Obviously it wsan't her fault and that's why Christa did not gave importance to this thoughts, but yet they do exist...
I hope Christa is alive. I like her a lot. She did a lot for Clem.
It all boils down to being mostly their fault anyway, since they decided it was ok to leave Clem alone in a newly discovered place so they could have some "alone" time together.
I mean, Christa berated Lee back when they first met for taking her WITH him into that train station , yet she does something worse than that in Season 2, by letting Clem go in there all by herself.
