Obviously, this is all my opinion, but I think these characters were all solidly written and brought a lot of value to their respective games (if they didn't straight up carry it for me).

What do you guys think? Let me know about your own takes in the comments :)

To be specific, you don’t have to vote for one of the characters I put up. You can vote for your own character that you think should be on her too. Anyways, I think these characters could have been so much more. Here’s why.

Mike

He was supposed to one of the people who robbed Christa and Clementine at the beginning, but that was scrapped. I have no idea why, it would have been awesome. You were supposed to have a hard time trusting someone who robbed you and possibly killed Christa. You can tell that that was scrapped at the very last second because one of the characters that robbed you looked just like him but with less facial hair and no scars. And Mike having those scars and no explanation just feels unfinished. Don’t know why they scrapped this because it would have been amazing.

Duck and Sarah

I’m putting both of them in the same category because I feel that they were kind of wasted for similar reasons. I just think it would have been very cool to have them evolve from scared children to warriors. Clementine did that and she was brave from the start. I think it would be amazing if people who weren’t as brave as she was at a young age evolved to be like her. I also wanted to mention, teaching Sarah to use the gun was a pretty good decision that could have made her so much more. The game literally tells you that you taught Sarah to defend herself. She should have at least used the gun at some point in time.

Nick and Walter

Putting them in the same category too because I think they would have been amazing while being part of the team together. I think Walter and Nick would be a good addition to the team for more than two episodes. We could have seen character development between the two since Walter hates Nick. There could have been a running hatred between the two and you would have to try and get them to get along. Kind of like a similar situation to Kenny and Jane at the end of Season 2.

Luke

Might be surprised he’s on this list because unlike most characters, he was around for the majority of his main season. The reason I am including him is because he was meant to be part of the Season 2 ending. Don’t know why they chose Jane instead, having Luke be part of it makes it a harder choice to choose between him and Kenny. Luke had a lot of potential that was just thrown in the garbage.

You agree with my opinions? And also, what are characters that you want to bring up? Let me know what you think.

When Rick and his group come to his farm in the comics, he mentions the death of his son Shawn, which we saw happened when Lee, Clem and Kenny’s family stayed at his farm, and when he kicked them out because Kenny didn’t help saving Shawn. Yet despite this, he never actually mentions them to Rick’s group.

I know this is because the game was written after the comics but it’s still pretty absurd to think about.

Wouldn’t newborn babies just smell of blood? AJ looks insanely musty here.

What is Kenny talking about???

I might go with Abel. He’s a dick in season 4 but I feel like he wasn’t always like that and will be chill for a meal

Why didn't Clem and AJ go back?
