*Hypocrites* Silly typo.

I find it odd whenever people complain of Lee's death, several people come out of the woodwork saying "It's the Walking Dead, it's not supposed to be happy. Were you expecting a fairytale ending. Blah, blah, blah."

Yet, a lot of these people want Molly of all people to appear in season 2, and some want her as a protagonist.

I call bullshit. Molly is an upbeat character. She's like Glenn and Omid, she offers a lightened tone to the series. To keep her would go against the "dark and grittiness" everyone claims the Walking Dead is all about. And to make her a protagonist would really ruin shit.

Yes, she has a fairly dark past, but her personality blows that out of the water. Even her clothing is colorful. So she contrasts everything that the Walking Dead apparently stands for. Not to mention she's extremely unrealistic when it comes to her physical capabilities.

Even in Playing Dead episode, one of the writers said they had to use characters like Molly sparingly because they ruin the dark feel of the game.

So how can you criticize people complaining of Lee's death, when you want a light-hearted character as the protagonist for season 2?
