Why are so many mad that ***** died?

[adam86shadow]

I mean it is a zombie story, happy endings aren't exactly known. Not to mention it's Walking Dead, a series known for it's blunt approach to killing characters regardless.

Attachment to the character?

Though I fully expected him to go, doesn't mean I wanted him to die. I liked him as a character, and would have liked to play him more.

People were mad because of his death? Why? He hardly spoke anything and I thought it was obvious that he will die, from the first time he appeared. Okay, to be honest, I was surprised that he survived that long.

About the topic; I wasn't mad because of Lee, I liked the end of the game.

I wasn't mad. I was sad that a character I liked and was invested in died, but certainly not mad. I thought it was a great ending to that part of the story. Lee served his purpose. He protected Clem, rescued her and has taught her the baseline skills she's going to need to continue to survive in this world.

I just hope the protagonist for Season 2 can measure up to what we had with Lee.

That was the problem, no character development at all. He dies only to have another black guy replace him. It only makes it look like he was added to "diversify" the cast.

Wait....there was a black guy in The Walking Dead?

[TWDFTW]

I wasn't mad I was upset because Lee was a great guy and even though some of your choose able decisions aren't great, doesn't make him a monster. He ending made me cry I had to turn my Xbox off and ran upstairs crying. That may sound extreme but my family was round out house and I didn't want to cry in front of them... Anyway!

People were probably mad at TTG for killing Lee off, but there was no way of survival. Even if you chose to cut Lee's arm off it was a pitiful attempt to save yourself. I have friends that are boys and they cried, I laughed at them but when I played it, I was super upset and I wanted to cry forever, little Clem's face and her trying to get Lee to get up, you could see him getting weaker and weaker and little Clem getting less determined that they were going to make it.

I am very interested to hear what your guys reactions were

Why do you have to make a thread about this?? isn't pretty obvious?

[Bulbous]

I'm genuinely concerned about the long-term success of the Walking Dead franchise. The creeators seem to revel in the fact that any character can be killed at any time.

I don't care how good the series is (and I consider it to be the greatest thing ever), but you cannot sustain that with massive turnover of characters. People will just stop caring.

So, did Rick Grimes die yet?

The author said he is going to die at some point.

[Irishmile]

The entire time I was hoping he would make it.. But honestly the ending would not been nearly as good if he had.

There is no sacred cow, anybody can go, and that is AWESOME. It needs to be used carefully though, otherwise there won't be anyone left for the audience to connect with.

I don't know, they could've killed off everybody except for Lee and Clem, somehow they get the boat to the water, and they set off into a very uncertain future, that would've been interesting to me.

TL;DR: So he didn't die, yet. There's the answer to this thread.

I think nobody would have had an issue with Lee dying in another season, but he didn't even last as long as some annoying secondary character in the comic books! Just imagine Rick getting bit in the 4th comic and dying in the 5th and all the following episodes are all about his not-so-cool kid. That dies in issue #10 only to be replaced by somebody else, who ends up dead 5 issues later, only to be replaced by....I think you got the point. Would be kinda lame, wouldn't it?

While you can't really compare Rick and Lee, since it's way easier to get attached to the protagonist that you actually embody in a computer game, rather than identifying yourself with some dude in a comic or a TV series, you'd be pretty pissed too, if the author decides to kill the main character in a somewhat lame way. It's just way too obvious that they only sacrificed Lee in order to make the ending more emotional...and this is just dumb.

Lee was one of the most interesting and awesome characters in the past 10 years of video game protagonists and I think a lot of people would have loved him to survive fudgin' season 1. A shame TTG dumped him on the very first occasion, like sacrificing a lamb or a pawn only to force the story into an emotional ending. I don't know about you, but I am certainly not looking forward to playing a 9 years old girl in any episode whatsoever...or some random silhouette who happens to bump into her. Unless that silhouette is Lee Everett.
