Kenny dead or alive? (massively merged threads)

[booki94]

we have seen so many people die in twd, TT would show him get teared apart if they think it would fit in the scene. i think there is a reason why they didnt clearly show his death. i could be wrong but who knows ?

That's the thing, it didn't fit the scene. It would really cheapen Kenny's heroic moment if he was killed right away and I don't think Telltale wanted to extend that scene anymore then they needed to.

I think Telltale's confirmation for Kenny's death were, for me at least:

During the Ben sacrifice you see Kenny get bit, or at least that's what it seems like what happened. You explicitly hear a crunching noise when the zombie lunges at Kenny's hand. I realize his sleeve wasn't ripped nor was there any blood on his hand, I just don't think Telltale would want to update his design for something so tiny.

Then with the Christa sacrifice there was what he said

"GET THE FUCK OFF ME!"
"Go! I'll... I'll be... rgh oh ahh!"


It's further enforced by the fact that it's The Walking Dead where the world is actually realistic and moments like these usually always result in people's deaths. Yeah yeah, there's Tyreese who did that similar shit. But the difference between Kenny and Tyreese is that it's Tyreese. There's like a 95% chance that he's dead, there's still that 5% for people to hope though, I guess.

They do say at the end kenny was lost to the herd trying to save ben.

[xXNinjaScoreXx]

Brie's death was gruesome, I'm pretty sure Telltale wouldn't allow anything more than that. And also, since we don't know if he is alive or dead, jumping to conclusions doesn't make sense

[AnnaSan]

His status is unknown.

Yes, but everyone else who dies have their fates explicitly stated. "Carley was killed by Lilly." "Larry died in the meat locker." Sure these are obvious but since it's intentionally vague there is simply not enough evidence to prove anything, on either side.

[plaqueconspiracy]

lol no.

No way they would leave a death by a big character out just because it could be "gruesome". He would've just been eaten by zombies. If they wanted us to know he was dead they would've added his screams. They want to make you uncertain.

[QuarterPounderVlad]

You can't know that. If you don't have proof you can stick this statement up your ass.

..Excuse my words.

He could always be a walker...

[Ctn04132]

Carley's cheek is not made of titanium. Get over it

[Devlonir]

Kenny's death was left vague on purpose. That is all we can leave it at.

He is probably dead, and possibly not dead. In both situations, if there was another kind of distraction, he could have used the trick from the series and just lay very still under a corpse/dead walker and stay hidden that way. He could have fought a way out of both situations. He could also have just died in such a way that he did not even have a chance to scream when they started eating him.

The situation now basicly is: it can be anything.

He just tired live without wife and son, after he saw a dead couple on the bed, he wanted to die, he wanted come to his family. Such amazing character! Such epic death! Bravo Ken! Rest in peace.

Seeing as how Lee escaped from a dead-end alley with walkers closing in both sides of him in episode four, I'm not convinced Kenny's dead yet. Same situation. Maybe there was a handy manhole cover nearby.

[Kaserkin]

If you save bullets back at the mansion and you give them to him, you can hear more than one shot. So yeah, he's gone.

That's what I'm talking about. Suicide. He was tired to live. We will never see him again. So let's just let him go... as we was let go Lee.

Not 10 minutes before the incident he explicitly spoke out against suicide, though.

"It's what Katjaa did. She left me...my boy. I forgive her, but it don't make it any less wrong."
"You don't just end it cause it's hard. You stick it out, and you help the folks you care about."

At the very least i doubt he went down there with the sole intention of killing himself.

[DreadMagus]

Kenny is alive and I can prove it.

He's a failure.

He exudes fail from his pores.

Anything he tries to do ends in failure.

So it stands to reason that he can't even suicide right.

Of course he didn't went down there with the intention of killing himself, he was tryed to save Ben or Christa. But when Kenny closed the gate, and said "Lee. Lee, it's okey it's just somethin' I gotta do. You know that... Go get that girl!" He decided to sacrifice himslef for Lee, for Clem, for Christa and Omid, for the no painful Ben's death. It was because Kenny has nothing else to lose. He was forgive Ben for everything, because he knew how it's hard to die and be unforgiven. He was saved Christa because he knew what mean love, he was knew what mean family. And he was gone. Gone as a hero, as a good friend. In the beggining of story, I didn't care about him, later Ken irritated me. But now I have really admire him.
