Molly was the one character where Telltale stumbled

She was given a backstory. I don't remember it but she did. I, like others, think she did parkour before the apocalypse.

that's true, I knew Molly had a backstory since I asked her about the tape in the locker. But what I find funny is that people can't seem to accept the fact that in a post apocalyptic world, an fit, athletic woman who has parkour skills can exist, while no one seems to be in the least bit fazed about a lawyer turned samurai

There's many unrealistic characters in the comic book series. The obvious one being Michonne.

[thestalkinghead]

it's extreme survival of the fittest, it is more likely that people with applicable skills will survive the ZA, its actually more weird that most of the people that should survive because of their talents and skills (eg. military, martialartists, survival experts/explorers) are all dead or not in the walking dead

All she seems like to me is the cliche "girls can do anything boys can" model

Ah, but it probably was "rehearsed".

She had been surviving in that city, using the rooftops, for months......

[dubesor]

Yea I think they went a bit over the top.

I mean parkour is one thing but the way she was climbing on the roofs like a science-fiction ninja (before she dropped Dr. Logan) and later the insane jump back to the mainhall seemed a bit unbelievable even for an athletic who has mastered parkour.
At the fighting scene shortly after Ben screwed up with the hatchet I was like 'cmon telltale...this is getting ridicilous'.

So yea, I think they went a bit over the top with her. I hope they keep the characters in the next season more believable and don't have someone with semi-superpowers.

her screentime was rather short though, so it didn't irk me too much.

[plaqueconspiracy]

Yes. I like believable persons. Persons that aren't just some kind of invincible parkouring killing machine.

Me, learn my words? Ok.

Rehearsed

Verb

Practice (a play, piece of music, or other work) for later public performance.
Supervise (a performer or group) that is practicing in this way.

Still not convinced? Let's look at Practice's definition.

Noun
The actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method as opposed to theories about such application or use.
Verb
Perform (an activity) or exercise (a skill) repeatedly or regularly in order to improve or maintain one's proficiency.


Practice is the keyword here. Also, this is my only account, so I don't know what kind of butthurt bullshit you're spewing or where it is even coming from. Believe whatever you want in that world of yours, but a fragile bubble can only be popped.

lol.

Molly didn't do that much action, and what she did was believable.

Go on to Youtube and you will see people do crazier parkour things than Molly!!

yeah if you search "people are awesome" on you tube you can see how awesome people are

[anonymau5]

Seriously, what she did wasn't that hard. A person in good shape who works out regularly and does gymnastics could do that if they weren't scared. Especially with tools like Hilda.

That's actually not really true. She was still a resident of Crawford up until about a week before the doctor was killed and Crawford presumably fell; you can tell by the dates given on the tapes. Logan was stabbed on the 83rd day of the outbreak, the last time he gave Molly medication for her sister was on the 76th day.

Considering Crawford evidently collapsed from the inside, and the number of Walkers in the place and that everyone we encounter from Crawford is someone who didn't fit into their soceity (Vernon's group and Molly due to her sister) it's a good bet their people didn't spend a whole lot of time risking their asses outside the walls.

[DreadMagus]

Seeing as people in crawford were expected to be some sort of zombie killing hit squad (as evidenced by their rather impressive barrier and vast exploration) I'd say the people inside did a bit more than play cards (like those fools in the comic)

[watertommyz]

Considering the nature and infamy the Crawford residence has with Molly and the Cancer Support Survivors, and you know all of that terror tactic mess outside surrounding the area, I'd say yeah, defiantly more than card games going on.

As for how long Molly was there, I'd have to replay the game again but I was under the impression it wasn't terribly too long, but that still means she was surviving for a good while with just her sister no matter how you look at it.

For more evidence of her being above average when it comes to survival, you really only need to hear these words; "In the end the dead always wins."

I'll probably replay the episode (the game in general) and play for information's sake, and take note of it for anyone who would want the information.

Exactly. I just left it to the fact that it's Walking Dead, and some of the characters are a little..well..wacky.

I also thought that Molley was hardened by her sisters death, and showing her being a badass kind of gave this perception of how much her sisters death affected her.

Throw in a little sexual exploitation and a zombie apocalypse... can't imagine why Molly would appear "badass". Evidently she's more physically able than the OP, but that doesn't make her unbelievable.

One part I never found believable was when kenny and lee went to ambush molly at the new stand. We had her in our line of sight during the approach, but by the time lee got up there, she vanished and was behind lee. Parkour or not it seems a bit far fetched.
