The boy just ain't right :) What's he going to do next?

[CiscoKidd81]

I would never treat a real life child this way but since it's a game it's different.

Does anyone else out there find it hilarious that Duck is so stupid? I want to like the kid but I'm just having such a hard time. The writers can't get rid of him Duck is single handed the comic relief in the video game.

I have to wonder who the creators of the game based his character on in real life. They seem to just have it out for the poor kid.

At the beginning his own father (Kenny) freely admits that his off spring is such a block head not even the end of world phases him. "He makes up for it in enthusiasm" that's like saying in the bathroom Duck sometimes points up at his face instead of down at the urinal cake...!

After that Duck causes his first kill and is not even noticeably sad.... He decides to start up the tractor he was playing on and run over poor Shawn I swear he was smiling at one point.

The apple does not fall far from the tree since Kenny can't even tell Herschel that he's sorry his son Duck ran over Shawn with the tractor.

I can't believe on the Farm that the game writers did not have Duck peeing on the electric fence. What a missd opportunity. All I can say is thank goodness Duck was not with Mark and Lee during the tractor scene with the arrows. Duck might have decided to run over Lee and Mark then drive the tractor in to a ditch.

Moving along Duck proves he has ADHD at the dinner table when despite Lee's best effort to say hey your eating a person Duck continues to eat Mark's leg. What's worse is Duck noticably wants to keep eating Mark. Everyone is like OMG and Duck is there with fork is mouth about to scream "Pass over those 2 meatballs please"

I don't know. I just can't get on the side of poor old Duck.

What do yur guys think.. Is Duck gonna cause another death in Episode 3? Perhaps they will head back to the drug store and Duck can eat a tube of Preparation H? Duck could root through Carly's purse and find her secret toy she really needs those batteries for. The possibilities are hilarious and endless.

You never know Duck could figure out that since a zombie bites kills a human Duck could make the connection that if he eats or bites a zombie it will bring the zombie back to life.

Anyway what do you guys think Duck will do or cause in episode 3??

[ruairi46]

Clems gonna have a nervous breakdown and break ducks neck. (-- Called it.

[jaybreezy]

He's a kid.

strike 2 for duck

either that or duck is a midget/dwarf/ pretending to be a kid

I have a feeling that Duck's going to be around for a while. Hopefully he'll pull off some stunt that saves Lee's life.

[Milosuperspesh]

or little finger to the side of the mouth

i do the moustache twirling every few days lol

[jaybreezy]

I'm guessing you need more?

Duck is a kid = He's going to get in trouble, he's going to make mistakes BECAUSE he's a kid. Just because there is a zombie apocalypse doesn't magically change that. Sure Clem is smarter and more mature but that's pretty rare in children their ages (although she did taste a salt lick which equals a kid move).

Duck taking the blame for the tractor incident is nuts to me. Why isn't Shawn getting the blame? Shawn is the adult who let a kid play on a tractor without supervision.

As far as the dinner table scene. It's pretty often that when a child is into something they're really into it and sometimes they need something like a snap of the fingers in front of their face, or a clap, or even a removal of whatever it is to get their attention away from what they're doing.

Duck get's a lot of undeserved flack which has caused me to go pro Duck. I hope the little guy makes it to the end.

[PuhChewyChomp]

Quack, quack, quack, QUACK, QUACK!!!!

[WingSP117]

Duck is actually death.

[Master of Aeons]

Duck is just here to drive Kenny. Then drive him over the edge.

Unless you're playing the other side, then it'll be Lily that turns against you.

[Bcroft]

i don't like duck or kenny, i can see them leaving but the group cant get much smaller, but yea duck get annoying for most the time I don't see him causing another death tho

[ruairi46]

Duck was an assasin before the zombies came, and he was dedicated to the job so he killed shaun and made it look like an accident. But we know better next episode you battle him to the death he has black belt in martial arts.

[CiscoKidd81]

Seems legit?


I have 3 kids. The boy is 14 and my girls are 6 years oldb and 11 weeks. Don't use the OMG Duck is a kid so if the end of the world would happen he wold not even notice.

There was a guy at work who used to make his boy dig trenches in his yard when the kid got out of line or did stupid things. Needless to say if Duck was his kid that trench would circle the world. Twice.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say most kids aren't brought up that way.

Who says he doesn't notice? Maybe he chooses to stay enthusiastic in spite of everything.

[Cyreen]

Or maybe he plays dumb because he's a kid and doesn't how else to cope, kinda like the class clown.

I don't know. I guess. I wonder how old the writers invisioned the character of Duck....

He the best damn actor I have ever seen if that's the case.

[LordRaymond]

Leave the poor special needs kid alone.

[Cyreen]

I have two nephews, who on occasion do the dumbest things and when you ask them why, they invariable answer "I dunno". I think it's just a boy thing and Clem is just more mature because that's a girl thing.

Yup. I have seen my share dumb things. I have watched my teen age boy drive the garden tractor too close to obstacles and get stuck. I have seen my daughter color on the wall.

That's the thing about it. I love kids. But it's something about Duck that curls my skin.

[CiscoKidd81]

Leave the poor special needs kid alone.

If he was a special needs case then I would have a different opinion.

It's not like Kenny said here is my son Dan, Dave, or Roy who has has this condition that we make the best of.

Kenny said here is Duck.. We call him that because he is basically so slow he has no idea zombies have risen from the dead. If you come across a quart of motor oil just give it to him and tell him it's a milkshake and watch nothing phases him like water off a ducks back.

[Cyreen]

I don't know if you've noticed, but Kenny's a bit of a wanker. I suspect poor little Duck is going to evolve over the course of this game.

[CiscoKidd81]

Yea all Duck has to do is evolve a little more to make it past Kenny. Kenny seems to be between Chimp and Gorilla on Darwins theory of evolution scale.

[Zeruis]

Hopefully Duck will evolve from the clueless boy he was to a mature kid that saves the group's life.

Everybody: "Thanks a lot, Duck! You just saved our lives!"

Duck pulls off a smirk.

thanks been looking for that phrase for ages !

really covers a lot of debate on this forum ;)

[godzilla999666]

While yes Duck annoys me and i wish i could ducktape his mouth shut, we all know at least one kid or adult that just has to talk all the time. Hopefully Clem will realize she doesn't have to be polite all the time and justs tells Duck to shut up. Clem is at one end of the spectrum, the quiet, shy kid, and Duck is at the extreme other end, a outgoing kid that never shuts up. Bad thing is if Duck is special needs, like ADHD, his medication is out, and he is only going to get worse.

I wonder what his real name is........

A descent twist would be if Duck was involved in his moms death somehow and Kenny had a breakdown...

[Master of Aeons]

Duck is Kenny Jr. He's called duck because he never shuts up.

[ZombieGoBoom]

The writers always gives little hints at future stories down the road. Remember that story that Shawn told to Lee about that guy just shooting that kid. I think something will happen to Duck and he ends up being mistaken for a walker (like getting covered in muck again) and panics, running towards the wrong person getting himself shot.

Noticed that too.

Hats off to the writers who do a really good job at foreshadowing.

Of course to make it a game it will have to be Lee to pull the trigger.

Will be the breaking point of Kenny and Lee

And what if it's foreshadowing having to shoot Clem?

[The_Cheshire_Cat]

And what if it's foreshadowing having to shoot Clem?

my mouth waters...

I notice the writers have a bit of irony in the way they foreshadow.

Might be a little fuzzy on the exact quote but didn't Kenny say something about cracking open Larry's head well before the meat locker scene. I felt like there were more lines of foreshadowing spoken by characters that end up having exactly what they said happen to them.

The only one that didn't was Mark, when he talked about being in a locked room, with Larry.

But the choice to shoot clem would be juicy.

[Milosuperspesh]

anyone threating the queen would be number 1 to die next, hence saving our clem..(if we get the option)

as for kenny 'foreshadowing' larry's death he does say in ep 1

"i'll kill him kat, you worry about duck" this is when lee and kenny plus entourage arrive in macon when they run out of gas..

[The_Cheshire_Cat]

Man I could have sworn Kenny said something about smashing Larry's head in.

[Milosuperspesh]

I'd like to see Duck hit on Clem or maybe even Carley if you save her.

They need to go back to Drug store..

Duck hit on Clem? There young kids...... I think your comment is uncalled for.

Seriously??? My 5 yo flirts with his girl friends all the time. It's innocent, nothing wrong with it at all.

[Master of Aeons]

Jeez, if every time you hit on someone it culminated in sex, I'd be a lot less sarcastic.

[Milosuperspesh]

ain't that the truth master ;)

banana dunno what your thought process was for that comment but don't do it again..

true children don't realise what they doing it's a natural thing but for a presumed adult to mention it, it's questionable..

[jaybreezy]

Come on man. Calm down. Im sure he meant nothing by it. And I agree with him, maybe having Duck trying to flirt with Clem and her putting him in his place would be funny and a cute moment at the same time.

And thinking that doesnt mean im a sicko. Haha

Edit: if you've ever seen Jersey Girl you'd understand what Im talking about. A little girl and boy show each other their "parts" just as the girls dad walks in on them. It wasnt disgusting, it was a cute/funny moment because of the fact they're young and innocent. And that was taking it WAY Past flirting.

[Milosuperspesh]

no i haven't seen jersey girl who's in it ?

sorry if i over stepped i just have a strong dislike for certain things..

[jaybreezy]

Its a Kevin James movie with Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, George Carlin (RIP) and some others.

I hear ya. It would be something if he was calling for them to do something else but Im pretty certain he didnt mean anything by what he said.

[mz3]

duck will die Without kenny

[Cyreen]

Seriously??? My 5 yo flirts with his girl friends all the time. It's innocent, nothing wrong with it at all.

I agree, a lot of overreaction. My youngest nephew at the age of four, batted his eyes and proposed to every woman he met (particularly blondes), including a few he was related to. However, I do think Duck is past that stage and firmly into "girls have cooties" territory.

I dunno man.. Some kids mature a lot later than others and Duck seems like he could be one of those types of kids.

[Milosuperspesh]

goes back to duck on the tractor who can say if he knew what was happening or not ?

their are children who become deviants at a young age,

heres a story about one such kid..

I found it funny how at the end of Episode 1, Lee basically apologizes to Clementine because the only other kid her age is partially autistic.

[Master of Aeons]

"I hear we're swinging by Little Lamplight in a later episode! Won't that make you happy, Clem?"
"I SAlD I WANT A SUNDAE."

[Milosuperspesh]

clem rules :)

did anyone ever think clem was joking about the sundae..

[Cyreen]

With her cute little smirk, absolutely!

I have a feeling that Duck is going to challenge Kenny at some point in time. His hesitantly questioning Kenny about the car was just the first step.

[Master of Aeons]

Seeing Duck call out his dad on how stupid he is for a refreshing show of intelligence would be nice. Of course, he'd be bitten right after, but it'd be awesome.

[kirby18]

favorite part was clems face when lee was like go play with duck, and duck just starts rambling about some dinosaur and clem just looks like she rather be zombified

[Gennadios]

He'll be the conductor in ep3, of course.

[bdawgnit1785]

If you give clem the half apple (that looks way too much like an orange) She says they are her favorite. maybe you guys just gave her the wrong food lol. i figured kids get fruit as its most likely to help them live on so little to eat.

[Zeruis]

If you give an apple to pretty much anybody, they usually say something different then what they would say if you gave them another food item.

[Goldrock]

well these kids are like what 8 years old least clem was 8 cant expect a whole lot of intelligence yet especially when it comes to adult situations.

[j.em26]

I feel you.
I tried my very best to understand Duck means well and that he's just a kid who probably needs to be forgiven every time he makes a mistake.

Knowing that, I'd probably still spare him IN THE GAME.
And just kill him off when I have a second playthrough, and that is if TTG even considered the possibility of letting us kill a child.

Put Duck in to an actual situation, just like any kid we encounter on the streets, I wouldn't leave him for dead, but I'd imagine myself pulling that child to one corner, start yelling at him and get some pretty scary messages jammed in his head, because he can't expect himself to get in to trouble all the time and have someone else take his place in death.

One reason why I never liked Duck in the first place is partially due to his parents as well. Duck, like any other kid, throws direct comments at you, and I can understand that because like I said, he's a child. But I believe that trait came from Kenny as well, who isn't so empathetic or thoughtful when it came to other survivors.

I believe Katjaa may have spoiled him badly before the apocalypse happened, to have Duck behave to such a stage. Not saying all the only child ends up being stupid *points at Clementine*, but I'm pretty sure how Duck reacts to the apocalyptic setting is due to his parents' attitude.

[Rock114]
