10 Video Games That Killed Off The Wrong Character
2. Kenny - The Walking Dead Season 3
Telltale's The Walking Dead is one of those games where nobody is safe and everybody dies. So when Kenny comes back to life in season 2 it's a bit of a shock to the system. He may be one of the biggest jerks this side of the apocalypse, but he's still a kind face in a rather unkind world.
Then he gets thrown out of a car window.
Kenny's death in season 3 is completely out of left field. The whole ordeal happens in a flashback that takes about 5 minutes and then he's gone for good. Get ready for the slog after that as not a single new character in the 3rd season even comes close to his presence.
Although there's nothing particularly wrong with Javier Garcia (The 3rd season protagonist and Kenny replacement for Clementine), there's nothing really right about him either. So for him to live while someone like Kenny dies is a tough pill to swallow. Especially when Telltale didn't even bring him back for the final season.
Maybe it's harsh to suggest Garcia should have died. Maybe he could have just never been written at all? Better yet let's just forget all about season 3.
