  • I had an absolute blast making this video. I made it to give some kind of contribution to this game because I love it so much. It also coincidentally lined up with the 10th anniversary of the game so it feels poetic. Thanks so much for watching, and let me know if you want me to make a video like this on another game!

    One thing I'd like to point out is there is another reason why Kenny decided to sacrifice himself for Christa. He realized she was pregnant when they were up in the attic and didnt want her and her unborn child to die. When Kenny is offering Christa the bottle, you can see her looking down at her stomach. Then when she starts chugging, you can see in Kenny's eyes as he realized why she hesitated.

    • @magmalecreme
      @magmalecreme  2 роки тому +167

    My final piece of advice Clementine is and always will be: "Keep your hair short."
    Not only because it's good advice but because it gives her a happy memory of her and Lee to hold onto.
    Also personally I chose to have Lee shoot Duck but have Kenny shoot the boy in the attic. I felt that it would be closure for Kenny, what he couldn't do for his son, he could do for this boy.

    • @magmalecreme
      @magmalecreme  Рік тому +44

    The reason why people stopped picking Carley over Doug is due to the fact that that Doug was actually modeled after a Telltale developer who’s name was also Doug. When this was revealed the fandom made a FB page and petitions called "Save Doug" dedicated to him since very few people saved him in the game. That’s what caused the switch in the ratio :)

    Hey guys, I wanted to say thank you for all of the support on this video. The fact that 1000 views isn't that far off anymore is crazy, and we're almost at 100 subscribers as well, and it's all thanks to you guys. I also want to use this comment to let you guys know what the future holds. Right now I'm about a quarter of the way writing the script for a video on the second season of the walking dead. I believe that I'll be able to get it done by the 25th of June *HOPEFULLY* and I'm excited to get it out to you guys as soon as possible. After that video I am most likely going to do a video on The Last of Us like some people have suggested, so keep an eye out for that in the future.
    I'm also thinking of giving these videos some type of consistent name so they are all a part of a series. I'm thinking of making the titles "Why I love ________ | A Retrospective of _______". I know it's kind of basic but I think that it describes why I make these videos the best because I love the games that I'm talking about.
    Again, thank you for all of the support, and I'll see you again when the second video comes out.

    I'm surprised you didnt mention the bitten woman glen, lee, and carly/doug come across in the hotel. I thought it was an important scene in the first episode considering it helped players form their perspective on the walkers and their morality

    The scene where Molly fights Lee and Clementine appears, she will either say ‘Lee..?’ In a low tone as if she expects Lee to kill her, this is if you showed no mercy on the characters in Episode 2 ex: Larry and all the St. John brothers. But if you showed mercy, she will shout ‘Lee!’ To stop him from killing Molly. Cool detail.

    i love watching videos like this because it gives me those moments to pause and to think about my own feelings about the game, ive rewatched the series so many times and yet hearing so many different views/takes on how the game is formatted makes me really think about what this game has been to me. the relationship portal to the reasoning behind actions is so fascinating to hear, and while i have my own opinions on the following games; i really enjoy that the first one is one that most people can agree on. awesome video!

    Carley's death scene is still the most shocking death scene I've ever scene. Carley was my favorite of the side characters and Lilly was a close second, so seeing her straight up murder Carley was so impactful to me when I first saw that scene (I was about 11 or 12 back then) It was so impactful to me It's still one of my most memorable scenes all these years later.

    What I like about the ending for Lee is that depending on the choices you made (Ex: If you killed alot of people and also was a major dush bag) Clementine will actually either kill you or "spare" you.

Learning how to edit, writing your scripts, that takes dedication and overall I didn’t notice the stuff you mentioned you did really good , editing looked super smooth the audio mix was great between the video and your voice and I think it flowed very well.

    Certainly one of the greatest games ever made.. I ended up buying it off the Google Play Store just a few years ago and I really was NOT expecting it to be so damn good. I've heard of it when it was first released but I honestly figured it would just be rather ho-hum.. the characters are so well written and yes, the music composition of "Clementine's Suite" can really get to you. I actually found myself sooo sad for Lee. I wanted him to survive but 🤷🏻‍♂️..his death is paramount to Clementine's own character arc and it all serves the story very well from part 1 to 4.
    Great video, by the way. ✨
