[Ep1-3, SPOILERS]Team Lilly vs. Team Kenny (merged threads)

[CapnJay]

Do you think Kenny thought about the Shawn situation when it came time to kill Larry thinking that he was too much of a coward to save shawn but he could make up for it by saving lily and lee from Zombie larry?

How is risking your life to save a singular person ever a decision to keep the "group" safe?

Besides, he acts no more stupidly in Macon than Lee does in Clementine's yard, screaming to the whole neighborhood full of Walkers. Not to mention the fact that it was Kenny's big mouth that probably got them noticed by the group in the Drug Store.

I think that specific plot was destined to happen anyway, but it's not unreasonable to assume that consoling him (which is given a plot marker in the game) in the Drug Store when he shows guilt over Shawn's death might harden his character a bit when you criticize him for his actions in the meat locker.

I thought kenny was alright in ep1... he did save my life and all but honestly im not fan any more... he seems very selfish and he would likely go to extreme to keep his family save and kill me and clem even.

The scene plays out WAY differently if you save Duck first. If you choose to save Shawn, Duck just gets plucked off the tractor like it's no big deal, but if you go for Duck, you have to fight the Walker's tooth and nail while Kenny pulls with all of his strength, and then Shawn gets eaten almost IMMEDIATELY after Duck is pulled free.

Exactly. I was wondering what people were getting the whole "Kenny just derps around during that." I remember having to punch a zombies skull until my knuckles were bleeding to get that little brat my first playthrough.

Who's side are you on? Why?

I was team Kenny until episode 2. His all or nothing attitude made me mad. Plus, Lilly actually seemed to be kinder and more rational in regards to the farm. She got a weird vibe, wanted food to go, and I was with her on both sentiments.

Team Lilly !
This thread of yours should have a poll.

4sure and 4sure. Polls and lilly wins by a landslide. Plus she kills someone awesome from the comics(well 3 someones)...hope we see her on the show. That would kick serious ass seeing Lily on amc's the walking dead

[j.em26]

I think canonically, Lilly is dead in the comics, or at least she is presumed to be.
Robert Kirkman mentioned he has no plans of developing her character further.

Team Kenny all the way. In my game Kenny has constantly had my back so I have his.

but you are duck...He who must be killed in front of his father...of course he has your back...and WE ALL HAVE YOUR BACKS TOO (picks up rifle slowly.) Did you know that back in the day when we had lame horses, we'd take em' out for a hike in the woods. Would you like to see the trail guys?

again op fails to list options

i say both or neither as i'm doing both/neither

[kingmartykim]

After siding with Kenny on episode 1 and 2 until the Larry's part...which i didn't agree with him...i replayed the whole game from episode 1 and sided with Lily...except the part with Larry trying to kill Duck....so yeah i hate that guy to death! Besides...i know he wouldn't save Clem if his family was involved so..i don't trust him anymore. Especially what happened at the Hershell's farm.

[Couldn't_Make_It_Up]

Team Kenny.

Lily is a bitch and bent up on power!

Personaly though I can see both parties screwing Lee over in Episode 5 which will end up leaving Lee and Clementine on their own!

Me too Team Kenny all the way, Since Larry was a dick to me I am never siding with Lilly.

I might side with her later on to see what the difference in the story.

[Cattivo]

Neither. They're both awful. Clem & Carley/Doug are the only people to really have any loyalty towards in the game so far in my opinion.

for the record my 1st play is turning out to be middle ground neither ken or lily

2nd is pro ken
3rd is pro lilly

There are no other options. You can feel you're loyal to neither or both, but the game makes you choose a side.

One of them is going to hate you at the end of episode 2 regardless of how you feel.

You're right. Since I'm forced to choose in the game I'm going with Lilly. As an added bonus, this Lilly may not be the Lilly from the comics. I've not read the comics but I understand my Lilly is not matching up with the comic Lilly storyline. I'd like Lilly to stay with my group. Kenny can hit the road at his earliest convenience.

In my game:

Kenny is not a leader or a follower. I just don't see him making it in any group. The people at the end of episode 2 are somewhat reasonable people and none of them support Kenny as leader (other than his wife and son of course). Kenny is consistent though, he does not follow anyone.

Lilly is not a leader but may be a follower. No one supports Lilly as leader either.

I'm siding with Lilly because I think there is hope for her to work well with others. Kenny is a lost cause. This is how I see things in my game and the comic storyline of Lilly notwithstanding.
