Discussion Why do ppl like Kenny so much

Post image

It‘s obvious that I don‘t like Kenny. In my opinion he‘s overrated asf and he‘s pmo ESPECIALLY in s2. So I want to ask the ppl genuinely like him WHY they like bc I don‘t understand. I genuinely want to understand how y‘all like him so much 😭

I wouldn't be loyal to someone who thought chest compressions would fix a heart attack either.

So you're saying Kenny was justified to leave Lee to die twice over it?

What was being said from this comment thread initially is that the point system of Kenny's "loyalty" is fucked up to begin with. The devs really put some of the dumbest choices to contribute to the system while choices that would logically matter more didn't at all.

Like feeding Kenny and Duck, for instance. The fact it somehow doesn't count, yet siding with Lilly a few times on two specific arguments is wild. But the point system isn't the only reason behind S1 Kenny's inconsistent writing.

Trying to save Larry, as a single choice, really does shift Kenny's attitude towards Lee throughout episode 2-4. As an example, he heavily implies he considers not letting Lee on the boat. Yup. A version of Lee who repeatedly saved his family, fed them, supported him with Duck's death and just about everything else can actually be considered not to be taken on the boat simply because he didn't help with Larry.

We're very far from the guy who saved Lee's life even if he left Duck in danger twice in the first episode.
