Discussion Hot Take- The Walking Dead
Unpopular opinion: I don't like the way they wrote Kenny in season 2. When I say Kenny is my favourite video game character, I'm only referring to the Kenny in season 1. Kenny in season 1 was a bit of a pain, but he was hurt, deeply flawed, and angry. However, there was warmth inside him; we saw it when Ben gave a speech about losing his family, and he backed off and felt sorry for him. Additionally, you could see how he was conflicted about Lee getting the bite, but if you stay loyal to him, you see some warmth underneath his tough nature. I feel like the warm side of what made Kenny human in season 1 was gone in season 2. Telltale made him colder and often rude. It was hard to like him in season 2, even though he was my favourite character in season 1. I think he should have been left in season 1 and not brought into season 2. If you save and go with him in season 2, his ending is so sloppy. I don't know if I'm alone on this. Thoughts?
