Season 3 TWDG - Kate

What if Ben survived?

I just watched a video of what they think would’ve happened if Lee didn’t get bit and I decided to write.

First of all, there would have been no way to save Ben when he falls from the balcony. When Lee and Kenny go down to help Ben, they find him on the ground with his one of the balcony poles impaled just under his ribs and one of his legs bent in an odd position. It’s possible that Ben broke his leg(s) from the fall which would easily leave him incapable of surviving. None of the people in the group with them at the moment are skilled enough to patch Ben up and even if they were to get him off the pole, the pain would cause him to scream and draw walkers (occurred in game). An injury like that would’ve caused him to die quickly from blood loss. 

Read for more detail and stuff idk 

Ben’s two alternate deaths would become an issue putting him into season 2 as some players would have saved Ben or killed him off. With Ben’s first death at the Crawford bell tower, he’s grabbed by Oberson who was hanging from the bell. Distracted by the loud noise, Ben is grabbed by Oberson and Lee shoots the walker, causing the walker to collapse to the bottom of the tower and Ben holding onto the edge. If Ben were to make it to season 2, the choice of saving Ben or not would have to never exist. Ben’s second death seems unavoidable. The group would have to take an alternate route or possibly make the balcony collapse just as the last person (before Ben) on the balcony jumps to the opposite building. Kenny will suggest to leave Ben while Omid and Christa object. Lee will have to find something to help Ben get across safely. Possibly a plank of wood.

(Here I thought of the idea of Ben jumping from another balcony before remembering they are at the houses. Ben could possibly jump for another balcony (not sure how far the balcony's are from each other) or use a something else. I also thought of the idea of Ben just risking the jump and grabbing onto Lee’s hand, but remembered the group got onto the balcony from the window. The window isn’t very big and Ben is a f*cking giant so the chance of him jumping far enough to grab Lee’s hand is super low)

Anyway, when Ben makes it onto the other side, Christa will fall through a hole in the floor and Kenny will jump down, save her and be assumed dead. Omid and Christa will cross over the billboard and it’ll collapse after Christa crosses. Lee says he’ll go down because he has nothing left to lose. 

- I’ll be posting a part two tomorrow probably. I just downloaded Road to survival in the middle of writing this after seeing Ben’s character fighting and I stopped writing this for 3 hours to play. I’m already at level 6 :)

Idk :)

Me realising I wrote 213,000 words and 45 chapters in my twd WIP just to get to the idea that started my entire story. (I'm no where near finished)

Season 3 - Eleanor rant.

TW - Lots of Swearing.

Now season 3 is not my favourite season of the TWDG, that title will always be taken by season one but it does have it’s good moments. The story line was pretty good, most characters had likeable personalities and charm - one of the reasons I love the franchise so much and the antogonists really made me feel hatred towards them. Alas, within a pen of sheep, there’s always that one fox dressed in wool you never expect.

Eleanor starts of as a decent character, being introduced as the ‘doctor’ for Prescott, showing sympathy for Javier when he mentions his family at the junkyard and even offers to sneak Javi and Clem out to save Kate and the kids. The player is given a choice to go with Tripp or Eleanor. In my gameplay, I chose Tripp, because I trusted Clem’s instincts.

Time skip, Prescott is overrun by the New Frontier, forcing survivors out onto the road where their last resort is to ask the New Frontier to help Kate who’s dying from her wound. Reunite with David, blah blah blah. Also, I know Eleanor left Kate in the car, dumb idea, but honestly, Eleanor and Kate have similar body types and probably weigh about the same, so Eleanor trying to carry an INJURED Kate all the way to the gate? Impossible. (Had to rethink here for a second if Eleanor carried Kate at some point but no, Gabe carries her if Javi stays to fight and Javi carries her if he goes).

Aaaanyway, Eleanor is given a free pass by Doctor Lingard, basically giving her citizenship because of her stitching on Kate’s wound and I get it, props to Eleanor for her medical skills. *clap clap*. This far, Eleanor hasn’t really given me any reason to dislike her for anything that she’s done. She believed she was doing what was best for Kate by leaving her in the car to get help, but that ‘help’ turned out to be bs cause they just lied to her and locked her up. During this time, she’ll obviously become close with some of the other leaders, mainly Joan.

BIG time skip up to when Gabe helps Javi escape and the group reunite in David’s house, I believe. Javi walks in on Eleanor and Tripp’s relationship housefire and then can explain how Joan is a terrible person who is planning on ‘removing’ David from his role as one of the leaders by blaming the murders of members on him. After retrieving weapons from the armory and returning, the tension is pretty thick between everyone.

Group discuss what to do, go after Joan in the centre. Eleanor agrees and asks how. I always was suspicious of Eleanor’s hesitant tone but I was like, “Pffft, that’d be stupid, Eleanor’s a good guy”.

*X factor buzzer*

WRONG! It’s all revealed that Eleanor told Joan the groups entire plan. This bitch ruined the entire plan because she wanted to play teachers pet to her new mummy. And karma, being the sob it is, drags Tripp and Ava onto the stage where they’ll be the toys of a claw machine, but SURPRISE, there all rigged! And Eleanor is forced to watch as Joan orders her men to off a woman she barely knew, or her bestfriend and past lover. And when the final show down happens, she forces the blame, onto us! Everything happened because of her. And when you tell her this, she stomps her foot and says she didn’t want to leave in the first place.

Okay. But did you ever consider the rest of the group? The group that doesn’t feel safe between these walls when Joan is the one ruling it with an iron fist? No, because Eleanor is selfish and wanted to climb the electric fence and land on a cactus on Joan’s side. The woman who instructed her men to attack Prescott, her home, take her friend as a hostage, invade the place with walkers, tear gas and begin to brutally murder the people who did nothing to provoke Joan OR her people. Did Eleanor know all of this? Probably not. Despite that, she chose the side of a woman she barely knew, over her bestfriend.

And when Javi asks her why she told Joan the plan? She has the nerve, the absolute nerve to say, “I wAS jUst TRyInG to deFUsE A baD SItuATioN”.

Bitch. YOU CREATED THE BAD SITUATION! And then, she can say, “Tripp was my best friend, Javi!”

And who put Tripp in that situation? Huh? Was it Gabe? Was it Joan? No, it was Eleanor.

And, and, AND, the stupidest thing about this entire scene; is that I can’t even chew her out for it! And the game wants me to automatically forgive her because she’s trying to help people after pulling a stunt like that? Fuck. That.

Eleanor is my least favourite character throughout the entire walking dead game franchise and I won’t see it any other way. 12 thumbs down, 0/5 star rating, undercooked, it’s a no from me, au revoir!

My conputers dead right now and currently in the shop getting fixed, so I’ve been spending the past two days writing and planning a story about Ben Paul being the main protagonist.

I’m hoping to give more back story to characters who had very little dialogue or little to not screen time throughout the game. Like Irene from season 1, for example; the only things we really got to know about her from her dialogue was that she was possibly Christian and that she had a boyfriend but thats it. We didn’t even get to know her name, we found out through the credits.

I want to give her a backstory like she and her boyfriend were in the middle of a roadtrip to see the world before Irene could continue her education, but their car broke down and needed to be repaired and that’s why they were at the motel.

Stuff like that. I also want to change certain characters fates, especially those who you are given the option to save and then die later or in the same episode.

*COUGH* Sarah.

But obviously, I’m stuck on some characters, especially those in season 1. So if anyone has any ideas of traits or back stories of characters they like from the walking dead game, I’d be happy to hear them and discuss ideas.

(Title is still a work in progress!)

:)

Every time I watch the walking dead, I’m always reminded on how much I enjoy the interactions between Dale and T-Dog. Should’ve had more scenes together. 

Because the Truman Show had products and brands wanting to collaborate, do you think there have been some brands that failed? Like what if a big brand went through all the effort to get the product onto the Truman Show, just for Truman to hate it?

That had to be some type of gamble for the brand, right?

Like yeah you can get the brand advertised by the actors and across the town of SeaHaven, but there's also a risk that Truman will express disgust or hate towards it.

Scream VI - SPOILER ALERT

Just watched Scream VI and I loved it!

I’m not gonna talk about everything, I just wanted to write my thought process for significant moments. 

When Bailey told Sam that Kirby hadn’t worked at the FBI for months, I was like, “Oh shit, maybe Kirby really is ghostface”. 

Because everytime I saw a fan theory of Kirby being the killer, I immediately dismissed them. It would make literal ZERO sense for Kirby to be the killer, because she would literally have no logical motive.

But as soon as I saw the double ghostface attack on Chad, along with the in sync knife swipe, I was kind of hoping it would be Stu AND Kirby. The brief moment between Kirby and Mindy, mentioning Stu’s supposed death really made me hope Matthew Lillard had returned. 

Again, it made no sense for Kirby to be the killer, but I was really starting to hope it was her. What we got in the end was good too though.

Also really glad you could actually trust the love interest in this film, “Cute guy” is so nice together with Sam. She deserves a sane boyfriend.

Chad and Tara are suuuuuuper cute together. I’ve seen some comments about the trailer, talking about Chad and Tara possibly getting together where they didn’t like it. I think I saw some talking about how Tara and Wes should’ve gotten together. But I love them together, so glad he lived.

When I first watched scream (2022), I was able to guess the ghostfaces correctly. (Amber and Richie’s ‘first’ meeting in the hospital made it super obvious). I never guessed Quinn cause she was ‘dead’. Everyone making Ethan out to be the killer was so funny, I never really thought of him actually being the killer. I was sort of suspicious of Bailey though. When he was crying about Quinn in the alley way, I kinda thought it was an underreaction. I mean, both of your kids are dead. My thoughts during this scene were, “What if he’s just pretending?” 

Also, while Bailey, Ethan and Quinn were doing their monologue, the majority of the time I was thinking, “Would this count as three ghostfaces or two?”

Logically, it’d only be two, because Ethan and Quinn actually did the killings and were wearing the costumes. 

Quick edit: Really glad they mentioned all the ghostfaces. Especially when Kirby was looking at Jill’s outfit. 

Clementine Comic Rant

The new Clementine Comic does not make any sense. Since season 2, Clementine has been fighting to keep AJ alive and safe with her, so Clementine suddenly wanting to abandon AJ is stupid.

Both AJ and Clementine are completely out of character. AJ is a stubborn kid and I highly doubt he’d actually listen to ‘Clementine’ telling him to stay at the school. Clementine got her happy ending when she found the school and defeated the Delta, so why does she suddenly want to leave? She has friends, a romantic partner (Louis or Violet) and a safe place to call home.

ALSO, Clem has one leg. ONE leg! Where the bloody hell is she gonna go with one leg? She can’t run, maybe she could possibly drive but seriously. I know Clementine is strong and can handle herself but again, ONE leg, moving fast on crutches is difficult. 

The whole comic ruins Clementine. In season 1, Lee became Clementine’s protector and promised to never leave her but got bit. If he had not gotten bit, he would’ve never left her, no matter how emotionally scarred he was. In season 4, Clementine becomes the Lee for AJ. In the flashback, she even promised that she’d never let AJ go again. Her character in the comic reminds me of Jane. It’s like she doesn’t care about the others feelings or opinions on her leaving, she doesn’t even tell them that she’s leaving.

Maybe my opinion wouldn’t be as strong if we were given more context during the 12 pages. For example, she feels like a burden to the group because she can’t contribute to the group as much as she did previously. Maybe I would’ve understood where she was coming from, BUT we didn’t get that context. So my opinion still stands.

For years, TellTale has been building this iconic character, for years. And SkyBound provided Clementine a place where she can live happily ever after. And the comic throws that all away in just 12 pages. I’ve seen other peoples opinions on the comic to find people also share the same views as me. I, like many fans love the idea of a sequel, but this is not it. I will never consider this canon and will forever believe that Clementine is living at Ericson with her friends and AJ happily.

EDIT - Side note:

Baby. It was bloody weird reading that shit. It’s either Goofball, kiddo, shitbird or nothing.

Eubean Reporter

When you're reading a post about something you're watching:

INSERT: *valid criticism of a show/movie* RESPONSES: "It's a movie, you're thinking too hard about it" "It wouldn't be a sitcom if it didn't have problems" "You're too invested, relax"

Like, what???? The point of watching something is to be invested in what's happening? Do people actually sit there and stare blankly at their screens with no thoughts??? What's the point of watching if you're not gonna bother expressing your opinions it?

It's just weird how people actually bother commenting, "It's just a show" under posts either criticising plots or characters. Like they think that's a valid argument.
