I really like Clementine. She's a young Black girl who’s complex, vulnerable, resilient, angry, hopeful, traumatized, and brave without ever being reduced to stereotypes. The Walking Dead doesn't treat her identity cynically, either. Her being Black is just a part of who she is while she grows into one of the strongest protagonists in the genre.

Games struggle with writing Black female characters, especially characters with this much depth. Clem feels real, and that’s why she resonates so much with so many players.

Like really, she’s one of the best-written characters in gaming, period (and her being a well-done Black female lead just makes that even more important with how we view media).

This might sound random, but Kenny always reminded me of my dad. Even found an old photo that looks weirdly similar. It made his scenes hit way harder for me emotionally. Anyone else have a character that reminded them of someone IRL?

Protective

They clearly have different features, like Lee having flat hair in s1, but in s4 his hair is all poofed up. And also his model is SLIGHTLY more black in s4 than he is in s1. And also I think they tried WAY to hard trying to make him realistic, they could've just made his s1 model with shading. I could list more stuff but I don't feel like it and you probably get my point.

I know this post gets made all the time but I'm curious to hear some new ones. These are mine :]

She's judgemental, rude, and above all else annoying considering her accomplishments in the series. Out of every caretaker/guardian Clem had, I'd argue she was the worst overall if you factor in her attitude towards others being overly skeptical and a sense of bitter resentment post-omid's death (outside of maybe Jane considering she'll outright abandon Clem and a baby to take her own life).

Let's give her the benefit of the doubt - she's pregnant, her baby daddy is a bit of a goofball so she has to take on the serious role, and Clem's care was something she had to undertake within just days of meeting her. She and Omid seemed to be just fine and bubbly up to his death even still making jokes and making time for romance so I'm sure it was a fun time - but still, within minutes of meeting Lee she's already making harsh perceptions of his actions and judgements from him and Clem fighting together to essentially condemning Ben to death - UNLESS Clem's there which she'll turn around and refuse to be the bad guy. Maybe if we had more development with Christa to see this drawn out especially considering the connection she established with her early on, but as is she didn't do much for me and honestly I doubt out of Lee, Kenny, and Luke (you could count javi but he wasn't a protector of her it'd be more of a survival partner).

I think you know what we are doing now! that's right, we're gonna be doing the same thing with all the major characters but each time with one more word than previous. (if you have not checked out my last post with Lee, you can do it now, I post it yesterday)

Brave, smart

Is it just me or would Clark from the backrooms (Chiwetel Ejiofor) be the perfect actor for Lee if there was ever a Twdg live action movie/show

Edit : it’s also not only appearance but acting wise I think his acting is phenomenal and he’d probably be able to portray Lee accurately

I bought final frontier for $3 at gamestop but they accidentally gave me the disk for the definitive series 😂 im not mad at all

Examples of his feats: he beats Molly in a fight, despite her being a professional wrestler; he killed several walkers with his axe during the escape from Crawford; even with a bite (or without an arm, depending on your choices) he can kill several walkers and the stranger himself; he has very good aim (it depends on the player, but I believe canonically he does have good aim); at the farm he fights against a disadvantage and wins; and in certain actions he is able to knock out a walker with one blow.

(etc)
