Telltale's Walking Dead Ending Was A Masterpiece 

I will always choose Kenny over Jane no matter what. It doesn't matter what she was trying to prove, she left a infant baby in a car in a blizzard with Walkers around.

I most definitely cried like a baby after Clem got bit. I cried during and after AJ supposedly killed her. And then when I saw her on crutches, I cried again. It's crazy how much we could love a fictional character. It's like we've all simultaneously agreed that Clem is OUR kid, who we've raised since she was eight lol

Y’know if you would go so far to endangering a child’s life freezing in the cold just to prove a point that someone is dangerous, maybe there’s a reason Kenny would act hostile towards you.

I love the split of people who either see Kenny as a loving man that takes care of her, or a final tether to the her old life that needed to be put down. I’ve seen so much from both sides and I love how it splits everyone.

i ended the last season today and i swear i cryed when aj took the axe to kill clementine. but when i saw her without foot and alive i was glad to see her again. this game really made masterpiece i love it, but about new frontier you are right i everything what you say but jesus and chavi was kind of good actually

Between seasons 1-4 you realize that in seasons 1 and 2 that adults are trying to survive the apocalypse with little thought about how kids would grow up and adapt to a new world. but in seasons 3 and 4 you see that a new generation of young adults trying to survive the harsh and deadly world of The Walking Dead.

Season 2 gets lots of hate story wise but I agree with you. It’s my favorite made my heart hurt

To be completely honest, Jane sacrificing a child (potentially, she didn't know a walker wouldn't get him) to prove a point to someone she saw lose literally everything and kept prodding the full season was enough for me to not side with her. Full on forced the insanity out of him

Great video, but I think people are way too harsh on New Frontier, yeah, it doesn't matter much in comparison to the rest of the game, but it's still pretty darn good.

I just noticed that Clem has the same kind of blue clothes as Lee, and AJ ends up wearing the red, like Clem's red hoodie in season 1

The ranch scene in s4 was a great sequence in the wrong part of the season, I thought it was good they add a bridge between s3 and s4 but they should have added it earlier in the season not at the end.

Honestly Season 4 was my favorite season in this series for all the reasons you said. I also think the writers gave some pretty fair reasoning as to how Clementine survived the bite and why she looked so bad. She already lost a lot of blood from the huge gash in her leg and was straining her body a ton. They also confirmed it was about 17 minutes between her getting bit and her leg getting chopped off, which we know is soon enough. Also her being bit on the lower leg, below the giant gash of blood loss slowed the process heavily. All in all I loved this season and the writing, I didn’t hate any of the boarding school kids and they gave characters like Mitch and Marlon good development before they died cast. Also I love Louis, sorry Violet 😂.

I’m sorry I can’t think that Kenny was wrong. These people kept treating Arvo better than their own group, despite his multiple betrays killing many in the group. And I can’t see him as a monster after he insisted you stay in the community. It definitely went against everything Jane said about him only wanting to keep people around that can’t argue with him. He was the same in that he wanted to protect him family, whether his blood or adopted children, just now he can commit to that philosophy. But apparently that made him a monster.

Every time I see a walking dead game video pop up in my recommended I always crack a smile I miss this game and series so much, good video also

Ironically the two times I cried was when clem came back and when the credits were on the wall. Seeing clem come back just released all of these emotions that were built up from the previous episodes and seeing the credits on the wall, knowing that this story I spent 80 hours playing was going to end, and also knowing what the developers went through to finish this masterpiece of a story broke me

The main issue I see people bringing up with Telltale games is how your choices don’t matter. But this season made them matter. If you choose to save Louis or Violet it completely changes the other characters life. Either Louis’ tongue getting cut out, or Violet going blind in one eye. Also killing Lily or not does matter, James was confirmed to live after the Cave regardless of if he protects you or not. Trusting AJ or not decides the life of Tenn or Louis/Violet. A lot of people like to compare TWD to Until Dawn, hoping choices matter like that game. But people forget that they really are about the same. In until dawn if you choose the wrong thing characters can die and that’s it. No story changes, just the characters missing from scenes or there maybe being some different dialogue. TWD does the same, there’s just less options for a character to die. And honestly, I’m fine with that.

Telltale’s TWD series is the only video games that ever got tears out of me lol. Clementines story will be in my mind forever.

I loved the ending part where your controls kept switching from AJ to Clementine in the barn. Made it really intense and a good way to ease into changing the controlled character to aj

I don't get why videos like this don't get thousands of views. This is a really good video

I disagree with kenny being wrong, jane lied about killing a child lol, she made him lash out like that

I went the opposite route and told AJ not to shoot at the end. It still works with his character growth since it led to a heated conversation between Clem and him shortly after. One where he decides he is responsible enough to make his own decisions. Either way though, being a father myself it was so tough trying to decide how to approach raising AJ. It really made me question how the hell I'd approach something like this in the real world.

I dont want it to end, I am too attached to Clementine to just let her and her story go.

The way I see it the ranch scene was Clems nightmare in a way. She "murdered" ajs caretaker. In my 1st playthru I hesitated to shoot TWICE to see if there was another way. I couldn't. And I've never seen aj scared that bad with my playthrus so far. Made me wonder if it was the apocalypse or clem that made aj more less morally adaptable and traumatized

I hate how dumb I was to not play the walking dead when it came out. I hate myself for it.I just finished the game. Seasons 1-4 I just wish that I was able to play it in 2012 because now I feel like I’m completely left out of all this and when this company was popping off. Now they’re not making any more walking dead seasons, but they’re making comics. If you haven’t already, look up the Clementine comics. They completely ruined her character in 12 pages. When Clementine promised AJ she’d never leave him, her character swapped in the first 4 pages, leaving him at the school to go north. Sky bound is ruining the walking dead franchise. I’m gonna act like the comics aren’t canon because I can tell they’re not gonna be amazing. I think season 4 was a perfect ending because Clem leaves off with AJ and the other kids at the school in a big (sort of) cliffhanger which I liked because we didn’t see either AJ die, or Clementine.

Glad to see someone else watched that video on Kenny! Though I agree with your thoughts on A New Frontier, I think the story was still very important to Clem's story arc. Season two ends with Clementine setting off to become her new Lee, but season three shows her lose sight of that path. She doesn't become Lee in season three, she becomes season two Kenny. Regaining AJ is what helped get her back on the right path, hence the ranch scene. Showing what's assumed to be the end of Clem and AJ's relationship juxtaposed to when it first truly began was thematically powerful, even if it didn't make the most sense with the flow of the story. As that video on Kenny mentions, Kenny becomes a dark mirror to Lee, to show what he would become without Clem around. Clementine losing AJ is what led her down the same path, and to very similar choices. Her saving grace was her humanity and empathy, traits that Kenny relied on Sarita for because he'd discarded them to make the pain go away. Arguably, Javi was also monumental in making sure she didn't lose those traits entirely in the wake of the New Frontier group's meddling and civil war. I was actually pretty surprised to hear your opinions on season two. Most people agree that the first season is the best, so to hear otherwise is always attention-grabbing for me. Though I see many of your points, I still have to rank the second season below the first personally. This is mostly due to how I consume media, particularly stories. I focus a great deal on the characters and forging bonds with them or coming to understand their viewpoint. Season two has some pretty bland characters in my opinion, with most of them barely doing anything or making no sense at all. Specifically, I divide season two's characters into three categories; 1. The ones that go nowhere 2. The ones that make no sense 3. The ones that backstab you for seemingly no reason Luke, Nick, Pete, Alvin, Sarita, Carlos and Sarah are all characters that don't go anywhere - they're never allowed to grow or change as time goes on, they remain static. This is employed with Sarah actively to make her story more impactful, but it doesn't remove the problem. Rebecca, Bonnie and Arvo make little to no sense in terms of how they're presented and the actions they take, while Bonnie, Mark and Jane all backstab you in some way for little to no reason, as their problem lies with Kenny and never with Clem. But, that's just my take, and I respect you for liking season two so much. I think we can all agree that season three is overall the worst.

I thought I was gunna haaate AJ but I ended up loving him as much as Clemente 😭 The new frontier was a weird azz story. They really tried to make you steal another man’s family his kids, his daughter, his wife. Omfg.

i would say that it makes sense for clem living because not only was lee bitten for a longer time but he was also knocked unconcious for an unknown period of time because of said bite then he also had to travel a lot to reach clem and fight not only through a horde but a human as well clem on the other hand was recently bit and traveled for a shorter period of time giving her a lot of time to cut the leg

I like how he referenced innuendo studio’s “we don’t talk about Kenny.” He brings up good points and also bread tube. His video series on the rhetorical strategies and beliefs of the alt right are really good too.

I just finished Season 4. Prior to that, I think Season 2 is the most memorable to me. I'll never forget the [Hug Kenny] option 😔

A truly majestic and overall emotional rollercoaster, that this series brought to its fans, I'm so glad that Clementine made it out alive. Truly one of the best series to a video game that I have ever played in my life. And there are many others all around the world, whose hearts have been touched by this game, as well as TWD series as a whole. Thankyou Telltale Games and Skybound Games for completing the series. As well as the #StillNotBitten team.

I'm glad to hear someone else loves season 2 as much as I do.

AJ cuts off Clem's leg regardless if you trusted him in the cave. I had to play both choices to unlock some secret achievement trophies on Steam for the You and Me trophy (The you and Me trophy was not trusting AJ in the cave and having one of the Tenn endings) and the Bonded Trophy(bonded trophy was the friendship/friend zone route between Violet or Louis). And the reason for that choice because the creators didn't want to repeat the cycle with AJ killing Clementine, the way Clementine had to kill Lee, and not a lot of players would have chosen the ending of Clementine actually dying or turning into a walker. But Clem had to deal with some sort of sense of loss and sacrifice so that is why they had made it to lose her left leg. And the reason for Clementine not being able to turn as Lee did, was because of the way Minnie had slashed her leg on the bridge. Her leg was oozing blood from where it was slashed open by Minnie, and the walker bit it, so whatever blood was in her leg was oozing out from the ax wound where Minnie cut her open which never affected the rest of her body. And the reason she was pale looking, was because of the blood loss from her leg wound. Minnie kind of did Clem a favor by slicing her leg open.

i honestly killed lily because i didnt like her attitude and the fact that she was recruiting child soldiers, but i fully didn't expect AJ to load the full clip onto her

season 3 so underrated I really enjoyed it

I always love seeing fellow lovers of the series who are truly passionate about the game and story! ❤️

i finished it about 2 year ago jesus christ time flies

SPOILERS I think the dream about saving AJ was just a disguised hint that she wasnt dead. But it took me a bit to realize that because of the shock of what had just happened. Like when you see her missing a leg it took me a solid couple seconds that AJ had chopped it off. Nobody that had played the entire serious was not a bit in shock after the barn scene taking clem back full circle to Lee

I personally liked Kenny's death in season 3, I thought it played into the progression of the new zombified world that you can be armed to the teeth for survival but a car is still a dangerous thing, which I feel like some people would forget in the midst of all the walkers and hostile people

I miss telltale

It's FENNOY, not Fioni lmao

When I first ended the game and she got bit I was balling my eyes out😭 punching my wall and everything😭😭 but when I saw her without her leg at the end of the game I was crying even more😭 bc I was just so happy. It was just a great way to end i game I grew up with and a good way to end Clem’s story because I also matured with her😅

Good to know that I am not the only one that really wanted to see the next Wolf Among US

Man were you spying on me?? I swear I made the exact same choices as you did and my plain of thought is similar to yours for every one them especially the Kenny and clem scene that you chose to see Kenny kill carver and then AJ and Lilly that was exactly what I thought there great vid by the way keep up the good work

the ranch bit probably was a nightmare, a nightmare about a memory that clementine had while she was passed away because of the leg chop. and clementine looking bad at the barn probably was to the blood loss caused by the scar to her leg

At 22 years old, playing through The Walking Dead Telltale games back in 2020 helped me realize for the first time that I want to be a parent one day. Getting to see Clementine grow and become a stronger and more whole person throughout her journeys and trials just struck me on a deep, deep level. I realized that one day I want to bring life into the world, I want to share my knowledge and experience with my kids, I want to protect them, guide them, and nurture them, so they can be the best version of themselves that they can possibly be and make it far in this world. For me, that is the true beauty of Telltale's TWD as a piece of art. I appreciated how little the games felt like games by the end of it all. It helped me get so much more lost in the storytelling, even in New Frontier. I will forever love Clementine and her story. Some characters transcend their fictions and become the power and inspiration behind the better angels of our nature. And Clementine is exactly the primary example of that for me. Thank you, Telltale.

Bruh who lies about a baby being dead and leaves them alone in a freezing car. Jane was not the sane one

I know it's a really old video, but I just finished all of the games recently and I have to say that I really love the New Frontier. It would be boring to only play as Clementine for 3 straight seasons, but like this, it's so interesting to see how a Lee-like person can affect Clementine's personality. I loved Javier and the family drama because unlike season 4, its about that there is still some things from the old world. Like the family relationships, politics, societies and that being a good person is still valuable and important. The final season literally built from this idea. Like it's not only about kill or being killed. AJ learned that he has to decide who is the good and the bad person, and when he made a mistake, he learned that he has to ask for forgivness, because at the time, he couldn't make the right choice. So yeah, the final season was built around a much tougher idea, but there is still a lesson from season 3 that AJ learned through Clementine at the end of the game. Btw thank you for the video, it was amazing and I pretty much agree with the other things you said.

Amazing video man sums up my personal things I love and not so love about this serires it has its ups and downs watching clemtine grow though adversity was pretty inspiring they may be gone now but I hope the people who are left move on to even bigger things I miss wolf among us but it did introduce me to fables comics and for that I'm forever greatfull

Tbh, the other seasons need to be looked at from the perspective of the evolution of Clementine, each of the seasons show Clem evolving and growing up, finding out how to balance life and love, and more!

In my opinion I think your wrong about letting go the old ways but I do agree about your saying about survival There should be a middle ground If u just try to survive why are u better than the walkers? Your just trying to live extra seconds, u need to learn to have love because love is what humans are...

Thank you for the insight! I agree with what you are saying about AJ being pure survivor. I am so glad I let him make the hard calls because then later it got my Louis saved. Great video!

Just finished this game and everything you said in this video couldn’t have been said any better. Subbed to you man and hope to see more TWDG content from you in the near future! (Especially with the ‘Clementine Lives’ rumors!)

love the video it deserves more views

Nice video and I was just thinking about Ben. If you think about it Ben was about the same age as the kids in the final season. Yet they are so different, Ben was so unprepared he could never have survived the way these kids have. He reminds me of Sarah and I like the fact that TellTale represented young characters very differently. I think this is what makes the walking dead games great, every character is different and makes sense (for the most part). Like in real life age or background don't mean everything, I think this is what makes their characters so realistic and why players can relate to them.

I LOOKED A LOT OF THE LAST CHAPTER REVIEWS. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST ONE. LOVE U

I know I’m late to this video but, man, I am impressed. Not only by your relatable writing and style of narration, but also your opinion on the series as a whole. If I’m being honest, I’m not a gamer. I struggle to have fun playing shooters or co-ops, but have always had time for a single-player narrative style of gaming. The two series I connected with most over the course of my life are BioShock and The Walking Dead. I adore this series of choice-based narratives with well-written characters who can be funny, well-developed, depressing, hateful, loveable, so much more. With the exception of season three (which I believe is totally skippable if you go from season 2 straight to season 4 with little missed.), I have never connected more with a story in gaming and it’s this series of stories that convinced me how much video games can be considered art. And to me, they are. Great video, friend. I would love to see a video from you ranking your 10 favourite episodes of the entire 4 seasons and telling us why you liked each one. Keep it up!

in my opinion. a new frontier as a game on its own is really good. but since it had to relate to szn 1 and 2 then it wasnt a good idea to go with the new frontier idea

I just finished it and I gotta say the last game gave you so many options on how to play which characters is surviving in the end which I loved

Great video man.

15:54 WDYM BRO I WAS BAWLING

Out of everything I did in this game I could not bring myself to kill Kenny and kept him alive as long as possible until he sadly died.

the ranch scene was her getting aj, it show you the link between season 3 and 4 and how clem now has aj back at the beginning of season 4

deserves way more views

I loved the new frontier D:

I really enjoyed your content! Love the game and I love to see what other people choose during the storyline. My friends tell me I always pick the most unusual choices. Did you compare your choices like me? Anyway, great video! I hope they continue the series or make a spin-off!

"A little teary eyed" We all know that you were bawling at the barn scene.

I sobbed for like 20 minutes playing the ending

I worried that the last season was going to be shit when I could put Skybound was doing it, but they came through and gave us an amazing game A new front tier was so forgettable

Good video! Although for me I've always preferred Season 3 over Season 2 because of the annoying fact that barely any of the choices in season 2 mattered as well as how some of the adults are rather dumb and had to rely on a child to do some of the works. And I always thought Javier wasn't that much of a bad protag.

Loved it so much

i always hated how we couldnt agree with lily on that shit like i just crushed her dads head in a worst case scenario situation but now rhey want me to act like her shooting ben woulda been bad

Amazing recap video. Funny enough, A New Frontier was my favorite and most memorable of all seasons, I thought the last one was a little weak

I was sad for weeks after. that's how good this game is

yooo, a wolf among us 2 is coming OUT!! WHOOP WHOOP

Sad to see it go, but I’m glad they finished it with what I think is the best season, along side season 1

Very well done. I liked New Frontier though. It was a fresh turn from Clem as main character. Wolf Among Us was RAD. Sucks we never got anymore seasons.

I let Jane die and then I killed Kenny and I believe that to be a fitting ending to season 2 and its darkness

I used to play all seasons in time except for the last one I just recently finished it and went for a full run for the whole game again lol.. I didn't really think the NF was bad before but I totally agree now after playing it over again and damn a lot of the parts didn't make any sense at all especially with Gabe and Conrad.. I still had fun with it and loved to see how Clem grew up and the story is not so bad except for those few characters who made me hate it.

This game was my first 18 game. I'm 20 now, but I played it after a month turning 18 and I played it twice until my gaming computer died because of its motherboard. When I get a new one, or encourage myself to fix it, that game will be the number one thing I'll return to. I haven't collected all the collectibles, but I'm going to do that. When the time comes.

Finally someone that actually likes Season 2. I never even pickup the gun at the end Kenny for life

I cried when aj killed Clem but then I was almost disappointed when she was still alive. It just felt unrealistic, the time between when she got bit and when it got cut off she probably would’ve turned. And I just thought the happily ever after ending was super cheesy

The cool thing about the walking dead final season ending is that it wether you trust your child to make their own decisions or not is the difference between them killing you at your own behest or wether they cut off only the infected part of you.

Jane was asking to get killed

such a good perspective on themes and the overall plot of the walking dead games. although for some people the story seems weird because they didn’t make decisions that lead to a more fluid understanding, the walking dead games are amazing and have always brought the feeling of the first season of the tv show back into the light. Season 2 was great because it showed the harsh molding of clementine learning what the world had become and using what lee taught her, then season 4 brought great characters and a story that emphasized her continuous challenge of growing up in this world. I like how many of the kids in the boarding school say that they respect clem because she knows how to survive. she has to teach aj what she’s learned and pass this knowledge down. I think this theme is great for zombie apocalypse stories which is exactly what the last of us does so well too. with mostly young adults in part 2 of the last of us it’s all about learning how to grow in a world that is decaying around you. both stories go in completely different directions of course but I feel these similar plots go so well and are done so well at that. Clementines character will always be a tier in all of fiction and I wish there was more season with her and a continuing story.

During that final showdown in Season 2, I had exactly the same reasoning as you for killing Kenny. My opinion on how fluctuated so much throughout the first two seasons but i ultimately just felt bad for him, and as you said 'put him out of his misery'. After Jane tells you she just hid AJ, I left her to go alone because thats very screwed up for her to do in my opinion. The last shot of Clem and AJ walking towards the herd was so cool, and I was kinda shocked I was in the minority when i chose to go alone instead of with whoever was spared. I think it made sense for Clem's arc that season for her to go alone in belief thatshe only needs herself, and it led into Season 3 way better as well.

I finally got the time to finish the series!!!! So sad it’s been over but forever one of my favorite game series

Played through this series & lwk got sad when it ended, another game would be cool but we could only hope🙏

Michael Madsen right after I was so happy to hear his voice

Clearly, Last of us was inspired by walking dead season 1....if you will pay attention to that you will notice that the game design was similar....that is why the walking dead is one of the best.

I was a big fan in 2012/2013 obsessed waiting for season 3. By the time it came out I already moved on and for me this genre didn't age well to me. Even season 4 didn't care much to play I guess I got old and started liking other things but after watching this video I decided to give another shot tho it doesn't feel like it was in 2013 golden age

I know this is 4 years later so you might not see this but they actualy are working on a season 2 to the wolf among us!

17:45 the power of spinning the narrative at its finest. It can resonant different between people sure. But the fact that both paths lead to the same end can mean the logic is hollow. Why you ask? If you went the “humanity route” saying you’re scared of AJ, not shooting Lilly, etc, etc. Then by the time you have to kill Clem, the fact AJ fails and cuts the Leg meant that he couldn’t go trough with it and attempted to save her. On the other hand you could say that trusting AJ at every point leading to him killing Ted and Lilly would mean that AJ was very Cold Blooded and therefore would have been able to kill Clem at the end. It’s not that the ending was a masterpiece and only made sense because of “the uploader’s choices” but rather TellTale being TellTale and making all choices lead to the same outcome at the end of the day excluding some details here and there. PS: it’s not that I took the opposite choices, I too trusted AJ to make the hard decisions. This is just some criticism on spinning the narrative to accommodate an unsteady point.

Nice video

Dawg the Minecraft stories was good you tripping.

I love this series so goshdarn much it's so goood

WHY THE HECK DID YOU PICK JANE

hope your happy because of the wolf among us 2

They should keep making more

I like the "Smart" On the Batman flash My personal favourite Telltale game and I think it is there best work tbh. That Season 2 ending is something else

We are getting a season 5
