Another Walking Dead character this time, but one equally as revered as Clementine. Season 1 of the TellTale series placed players in the role of a recently incarcerated Lee Everett, right at the start of the Zombie apocalypse. It occupies a space somewhere between the comic book source material and the massively popular AMC TV series, but manages to take the best and brightest aspects of both (at least in the first season) and place them in a point and click environment. Lee as a character is massively flawed, but that's just the right thing for a relatable character to retain. He's sincere, humble, and massively protective over Clem and his surly band of survivors. Indeed, by the time the credits start rolling all the player can really do is admire the acting talent on display - especially when the ending is so utterly heartbreaking.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
