- The shootout went alright, although I don't know whhy Kenny wouldn't shoot the guy on the ground immediately instead of wait for him to aim at Luke. Kenny starts the problem with Arvo, wants to shoot him and doesn't even listen to what the rest of the group is saying. minus points for Kenny
- Mike, Bonnie and Arvo try to leave. I don't understand why Jane wasn't with them. Anyway I tryed to go with them because I thought Jane was there too but turned out not to be. Arvo shoots Clem after she tries to give her weapon to Mike. I think he does that because Clem shot his zombie girlfriend. Who gave Arvo a gun anyway. Huge minus for Mike and Bonnie.
- What Jane did was a bit stupid from her, but necessary to show how Kenny can lose it and kill her without knowing what happened.
-Kenny's trying to defuse the shootout. I see no reason to not hold Arvo hostage. I actually got pissed that the game's only dialogue options during that portion were disagreements with Kenny. If it saves lives, put a gun to the kid's head
-Why would Jane be with them? One of the dialogue options that shows up is "Kenny! Jane! Help!" It's on the same bubble slide as the one where you ask Mike to go with him. Anyway, I don't think they gave a gun to Arvo. I think Mike put it on the seat of the car and then Arvo grabbed it. Who knows
-If Jane wanted to show how Kenny should lose it, she shouldn't have made him think a child was dead. That's just cruel. Plus, she put a child's life in danger. She left the baby in a cold car in an area surrounded by walkers
I actually don't disagree with your decision to force the family away even though I let them in (my logic being that IF Season 3 continues from my story, it's going to be really boring without more fodder). If anything, this episode proved that even levelheaded people like Mike aren't who they seem to be and will stab you in the back in a heartbeat
And he did fix the truck,. No one but Clem help. They have no right to just leave, with all their stuff. And even if Jane was with them, neither do they. They could have left for sure, but not in the truck that Kenny fixed with all of their supplies. That's BS.
I think Lukey was referring to Kenny saying, "I fixed it, I choose where to go." I don't think he was agreeing with Mike and Bonnie's decision to steal the truck
Arvo wasn't a threat, he didn't even have a gun, no reason to rush the decision and kill him immediately. The fact that Arvo was with those guys doesn't mean he's like them.
Accident was possible it was a blizzard out there. Why would he even begin to think that she killed him? Does she have a reason to do it? Is he paranoid or something. He didn't stop for a second to think about it, he tried to kill her out of a pure instinct, like an animal
Arvo led the ambush against the group. Remember the end of Episode 4? Also, regardless of whether or not you steal, he uses Clem as a scapegoat and tries to kill everyone in the group/take their shit. He's not a good guy
Hypothetically, let's say it was an accident. Jane tripped while running with the baby and crushed it or something. Or, more plausible scenario, she got grabbed by a walker and while attempting to get away from it, dropped the baby and it got eaten
Now, let's look at the scenario in that light
1. Kenny thought of the baby as his own son. Try to make any parent think you killed their kid. Even if it's an accident, most fathers are going to rain hell down. This isn't a situation exclusive to Kenny. Jane was basically saying, "See, Clem? I told you he'd snap if I made him think the baby that he thought of as his own son was dead!" Of course someone would act unreasonably in this situation. Jane didn't prove shit
2. When Jane was about to be stabbed, she could've yelled out, "The baby is alive!" She wanted Clem to kill her closest friend. That's fucked up. Even if you disagree with Kenny, Jane is very much in the wrong for what she did
3. Kenny knows Jane is a survivalist. In some playthroughs, Jane will put no effort into saving Sarah (all three of her deaths). Jane rubs Kenny the wrong way. Like he said, "You don't care about anybody." If Jane put the baby in danger as a result of an accident, it's logical for Kenny to think she wouldn't put effort into saving it
4. If Jane killed the baby, she would say it's an accident anyway. Maybe when she was "upset that the baby died", he could read through her and see that her reaction was fake and disingenuous. Instead of seeing that as a clue the baby was alive, he saw it as a clue that Jane killed it
Keep in mind I'm far from a Kenny fanboy. He's by far the biggest asshole in Season 1, willing to let a little girl die if he doesn't like Lee. I just don't think Jane's point proved anything
If Jane accidentally killed Clementine (shooting her in crossfire, let's say), do you think Lee would be super reasonable?
Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?
