There's no need to bring up an academic study on it, especially if it's from wikipedia.

this game. yes I wanted to see it too. I feel like when lee said "and also..." he was going to give the end of game speech almost all touching ending, losss of loved ones have, the "I love you, and over this time ive seen you grow so much and im so proud of you. you are capable of doing this on your own, I have faith in you. your strong, smart, and ill always be with you. good luck, Ill miss you." something like that, but it would have broken her, as someone previously stated, so he kept it to ill miss you.

What the hell dude? Clementine is a fucking videogame character and I am not ashamed to say that I felt like her father, now imagine what LEE would feel... I wouldn't have any problems telling her that I loved her in that situation, because it would be true. Does that make me a pedophile? Well, if it does, that is some real news to me.

You're right, of course.

Still, replying to members who haven't been active for one and a half months probably won't yield a response.

I didn't realize that someone necro'd the thread.

That explains why it has so many posts so quickly

By far one of the worst arguments I've ever heard. In the realm of where this story takes place and the circumstances surrounding, your reasoning makes you sound like an idiot. It's not like they see each other here and there during the course of 3 months, they were together everyday. They've shared more trauma and experiences in 3 months, then most people do in their life time.

Love isn't confined to a form of sexual attraction or blood relation.

^ This is my view on it.

And I was hoping that option was there. Sadly it was not, but I'm pretty sure they both knew it.

Given that Lee was dying and about to leave Clementine alone in a dangerous situation, no, I don't think it would be wise to tell her he loves her, as true as it may be. Clem needs to be able to get herself to safety. That will take a hefty amount of concentration in the middle of a zombie horde.

Saying "I love you" would put the thought in her mind that she's losing yet another person who cares for her. Yes, she may already know, but it can be neatly tucked away in the back of her mind if no one brings it up. That increases her chance to get herself out safely and far outweighs the benefits of Lee getting some closure in my mind.

In a different situation? Lee is dying in a safe zone? Clementine has other trusted survivors around for support and protection? Sure. Let her know.

If I was in his position I'd never say something like that.
But that's just me.

I disagree.

I half agree.
I think that it would have been worse for Clem to say 'I love you'. Especially if you asked her to shoot you, or "raised" her to shoot you. Also, Clem's a smart girl. Kids are perceptive, so much more than adults give them credit for. She knew that (depending on your play) Lee loved her.
I don't know if it was him not feeling like he should say it because he wasn't her real father, but more that because he felt like her father.

I like to bring humor into most situations, and I can't help but picture my daughter in that situation. I would have told her I loved her hours before I knew I was dying (or at least before I told her I was bitten). Putting it in a direct comparison, I save my daughter from the stranger, tell her I love her but we have to hurry, and then as I'm at the end of my rope, go out on a funny line, or a sweet one like "I'll miss you", versus the "I love you". If you raise your kids right, they know that anyway. :P

Cherish · 02/08/2013, 07:49 am

I was hoping one of them to say "I love you". Instead all lee said was "I'll miss you..."

I was a bit dispointed in that -_-. They went though so much together and all Clem got was an "I'll miss you..." I think that if they would of said "I love you." That would of made the ending alittle bit sweet and less depressing..cause honestly I was in tears xD

ZeroShoot · 02/09/2013, 05:14 am

Both of them thought it, even though personally, I would have chosen the "I love you" option, if there was one, I think that's something, that's not needed to be said between my Lee and my Clementine, if sacrificing himself doesn't say, that Lee loves her as he would his own daughter, then hell... I don't know...

AnnaSan · 02/09/2013, 10:03 pm

Ugh, I wanted to say I love you but the closest to that was I'll miss you. I guess that would've been too much considering that she just saw her parents as walkers. I need her to be strong and I know that if I told her I love her, that would've made her more emotional than she already was. Plus, I know that she knows that I love her, I sacrificed my life for her and my Lee being able to save her was already enough for me. Actions speak louder than words.

Totally agree. Plus, "I'll miss you" was depressing enough, thank you very much.

Even so, saying "I'll miss you" doesn't necessarily bring me the 100% closure I would of liked.

Hey. Haven't been on in awhile, but I started this thread because I felt like Clementine had become Lee's daughter in a way. Family doesn't need to be blood. Do parents not love their adoptive children just because they have no blood relation? I am not starting an argument; I just at the time wanted to hear what everyone thought. That is all.

After she knew her real parents are dead for sure, she might've accepted Lee as her new father after some time, which makes the ending just so much sadder...

You're right, Lee basically adopted Clementine. I definitely felt like she was my daughter.
