The Walking Dead Game Season 2: SPOILERS! The player's choice not to shoot Kenny was justified

Thanks Pro! Justifiable: able to be shown to be right or reasonable; defensible. These are reasons as to why Kenny did NOT have a justifiable reason to kill Jane, and the moral choice should have been to pick Jane. With the endings aside (even though he can ultimately help Clem and AJ), Kenny is and has been more of a problem to the group than Jane. I have also provided a video of the whole episode to prove Pro and I"s points, at the bottom of my argument. (Excuse the commentator) Reason #1: Mentally Unstable Although an obvious reason, Kenny has been making bad decision after bad decision due to his anger levels. This has been shown throughout the entire second season, but it really shines in this final episode. Throughout the beginning portion, Kenny does have a good reason to treat Argo like an enemy. However, due to him losing control of his emotions, he lashes out at him during the worst time. (45:00 of the video) During the ice crossing scene, Argo tries to run away, which is understandable, since he does not want to be threatened anymore by Kenny, and has done his job. This sparks Kenny"s anger mode to the extreme. While they are in the house, Clem is freezing because she just fell into the ice. Instead of trying to keep help her find some warmth, he immediately proceeds with confronting Argo. He then lashes out at him, after accusing him of lying about the supplies. Jane, being the focused and productive one, finds the supplies that Argo promised, making Kenny"s assault completely pointless and unproductive. You COULD say that Jane was more focused due to her worrying about Clem, but she does indeed proceed to finding the supplies right away in the other result, where Clem does not fall through the ice. Not only has his anger clouded his judgement, but it kept him from helping his friend from freezing. There is no question that Kenny cares for Clem and AJ, but his anger puts everyone in danger at times. Even when Clem has been trying so hard to change Kenny, he is too set in his ways. During the argument on the drive, he could have gotten into an accident because he was too busy arguing (1:16:56). Even though Jane was pushing his buttons, he technically started it. On top of that, something so stupid like an argument should not distract you when you are in control of everyone"s lives by driving the car. Reason #2: Refuses to Compromise Kenny is the best when it comes to conflicting opinions. Realistically, however, this is not helping the group (1:00:18). This episode, Kenny not only stubbornly argues for his plan, he flat out refuses to even consider the rest of the group"s plan, and tells them they are going no where else. Not only that, his plan is a bigger risk than the other plan, which is to go back to Howe"s fort. They know where it is, and it"s only a day"s drive. Even if they don"t find the supplies they need, they can go back to the original plan. Wellington on the other hand, is a shot in the dark. Not only do they not know where it is, it could take them weeks to find. This plan is more dangerous as well, since they are moving to a place that is colder. Not very suitable for the baby. Even during the drive (1:13:00), he refuses to reconsider. Although in Kenny"s ending, they do ultimately find the place they"re looking for, and is willing to let Clem and AJ into the fort without him (They won"t let everyone in), this plan was very risky since the beginning. It could very well have gotten them killed. If you stuck with Kenny to the very end, eventually they"re probably going to find more people, and Kenny will most likely will start more unnecessary arguments. Reason #3: Causes group members to leave Although I agree, the said group members did leave in an assholish way, they had a legit reason to do it. Mike, (Bonnie if she lives), and Argo are trying to sneak away, and Clem discovers them (1:07:00). They all are leaving because they can"t stand Kenny, and are also afraid of him. Due to his rage and and stubbornness, they believe Kenny is a threat to the group. Even though Jane prefers to stay it alone, she at least did not drive the others away. Imagine sticking with Kenny after season 3. Would you want this to happen again? Making friends, and having them leave because of Kenny"s uncontrollable rage? Group members are helpful for survival. Even if Jane prefers less people, she still remains with the group for as long as it lasts, and lets you make the decision to let the random family come into Howe"s place during her ending. Kenny ultimately makes things worse by scaring people off. Reason #4: Did not have a legitimate reason to assault Jane. (1:23:30) Jane herself states that she did not kill AJ, and that it was an accident. In Kenny"s rage, he refuses to believe her, and assaults her. Don"t try to say Jane used a weapon on him and that it"s wrong either. It was for self defense. She even puts it away, and then Kenny jumps at her again. This causes the knife to be used by Jane, since she feels threatened for her life. Kenny does indeed have a right to be upset, but he does not have any proof that Jane killed/left the baby. Yet due to his anger, he proceeds anyway. Although I do admit that this ploy by Jane was silly (I really wanted them both to live :( ), it did prove it"s point. Throughout the last few seasons, Clem has tried to convince Kenny to change and be more reasonable. However, it"s clear that Kenny is Kenny. Jane did set this up, and she even admit it was stupid. You can tell she expected him to try and kill her. However, you can also tell she did not want it to actually happen that way. If he acted more reasonable, and less like Howe, she would have told him the truth. But he let his anger once again, control him. This time, he didn"t even listen to Clem"s pleas to stop, meaning he will most likely never change. With these reasons, I have proved that Kenny will be more of a danger to your group if you allow him to live, and that saving Jane is the safer choice to make. He is indeed a good guy deep down. But his anger ultimately puts everyone in danger. Back to you Pro!
