10 Beloved Video Game Characters You Hated In The Sequel
4. Kenny - The Walking Dead: Season 2
Whenever old characters come back for the sequel, it's usually met with approval from fans. This is exactly what happened when Kenny returned to Telltale's Walking Dead in Season 2, but let's just say the love didn't last forever.
Kenny's appeal lies in his loyalty and reliability. In Season 1, he was the most useful member of Lee's group, and even though he would be very passionate when you disagreed with him, you were always able to count on him when things went bad.
In Season 2, Kenny was still a reliable guy, but due to the trauma of losing his family, he became unstable and easy to provoke into making irrational decisions.
Most interactions with Kenny were mentally exhausting, as the man refused to care about anyone who wasn't him or Clementine. The culmination of this was the final act, where Kenny attacked Jane for not agreeing with him and forced Clem to choose between shooting him or letting Jane die.
Though the players' decision here is pretty evenly split, the number of people who chose to shoot Kenny is ultimately greater. The statistics give a pretty clear idea of how people's perception of Kenny changed in Season 2.
