Ok, on TWD thing, Kenny didn't even kill his wife, she shot herself because she couldn't handle the prospect of killing her infected son. And Kenny didn't even kill his son ether, if you go by the choices people made, because fucking ***100%*** of people had Lee do it in the first couple days, making it the only choice in the history of Telltale that literally everyone choose and there was no legitimate reality where the other option was picked. So the scenario is really; -someone who pretended to murder a baby to prove why the other person was bad VS -someone who had to watch his wife kill herself and couldn't bear to mercy kill his son himself when he was literally seconds away from turning into a zombie. Real tough fuckin choice there. I get not liking Kenny as a character, he definitely shouldn't have run away with duck and instead just tossed him out of danger, and I honestly still think his treatment of Ben was overly mean to a traumatized child who watched his best friend and only living parental figure both die horrifically in the span of 10 minutes before being thrust into a group of strangers that mistrusted him, but the only reality where Jane is a better person is the reality she constructed in her mind.

[@DepressedCrow]

[@ahardworker2154]

Also depending on your choice he had to watch his girlfriend get eaten by walkers or he has to put her down himself. Also Jane did abandon her sister who was going through depression after the world collapsed

[@siei3i37]

Wtf are you talking about?

[@decimation9780]

@@siei3i37 The Walking Dead game from Telltale Games. Kenny, one of the characters you meet that becomes a part of your group fairly early on in the first episode, has to watch both his wife and son die, the wife decides to eat a bullet, and the son gets capped by Lee, the character you play as, before he turns into a Walker. Then there’s Jane, she’s a scumbag bitch who gets stabbed in the throat by Kenny after pretending to kill a baby, in order to prove some messed up notion that Kenny is a terrible person who supposedly killed his wife and son, and would turn on the group if given the chance. Spoiler alert, the dude sticks with the group basically the entire damn time, and goes out of his way several times to help Lee and the others provided they haven’t been antagonistic towards him in the past. Jane walked on her depressed sister when the dead started to walk the earth, likely getting her killed either because her sister took her own life, or was eaten by Walkers. Tl;Dr, Kenny stabs a bitch who deserved it in the throat after she seemingly kills a baby, causing her to bleed out and die like the dog she is.

[@phills9809]

The song, "The Only Thing I Know For Real", which was used by JFJ during the Broodmother fight, is originally from the popular game Metal Gear Rising: Revengance. The song pertains to the rival of the main character's rival, Jetstream Sam. The song itself is a reflection of how Sam has lost his identity in his pursuit to hone his skills and bring justice to the world, with the song title itself and the chorus referring to how the only thing he knows for certain now is the violence to come. JFJ's usage of this song was perfect, reflecting on how he himself has lost his path, but unlike Sam, he finds comfort and certainty in his violent actions. This was expertly built up to with the spider genocide seen throughout this video, in which JFJ becomes increasingly more drawn to. In this essay, I will detail how JFJ's rise to prominence as the Broodmother Slayer is similar to the downfall of Jetstream Sam, as well as possible usurpers much like Raiden was to Sam.

FUN DINOSAUR FACT!!! After years of debating, Brontosaurus was re-assigned to its own genus. A long while ago Brontosaurus was assigned to the genus Apatosaurus due to their similarities. A while back some differences in the skull (and vertebra I think) distinguished it from Apatosaurus, making it in its own genus once again. As for Stegosaurus... umm I need to think of a fun fact. Stegosaurus has armor underneath its neck to defend it from attacks from predators such as Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus and Torvosaurus.

Fun Stegosaurus fact! The spiked tail of a Stegosaurus is called a Thagomizer

[@Raptorworld22]

Fun Fact, due to the recent discovery of Sophie the Stegosaurus, one of the most complete stegosaurus fossils found, as opposed to the partial remains we've had to piece together, most of what we thought we knew about stegosaurus anatomy has been overturned and it, instead of being an outlier among it's stegosaur cousins, such as Miragaia and Kentrosaurus, is more in-line with regular stegosaur anatomy, with a longer neck and less stocky stature than what was previously assumed. Edit: Extra Fun Fact, the group that stegosaurs are a part of, shared with ankylosaurs, is called Thyreophora

[@jpogman3217]

@@Pantstall To add to this the naming of Thagomizer was made up as the spiked tail of a stegosaurus didn't have an actual name. So a Comic Book artist (as a joke) called the spiky tail end of the stegosaurus a Thagomizer in one of his comics. Since no other names came up at the time Paleontologists just decided to stick with the name.
