#sorry not sorry skybound just because you say its canon doesnt make it so

[spacedlexi]

what on earth even HAPPENED in the twdg comic?? if you don't mind my asking. I haven't been able to find it- I just know it was awful.

oh anon...... you dont want to know.....

i'll give you a quick recap but im hiding it under a read more. this is your last chance to turn back......

in the 12 page skybound x comic (more like 10 page), clementine leaves the school on her own at sunrise before anyone wakes up because shes trying to sneak out and run away without anyone knowing. shes very happy and nonchalant about it, and treats taking out a walker like its a nuisance getting in the way of her easy escape. aj surprises her, and lets the reader know that this isnt the first time clem has tried this. clem tells him shes leaving and that shes not taking him with her. her reason for leaving is just that shes "not happy" and no further explanation. shes tells aj to his face that he cant make her happy (WTF clem literally cares more about him than life itself). aj protests for like 2 panels before relenting and letting her leave. he shoots a walker that sneaks up behind her, and instead of that proving that clem still needs someone to watch her back, she instead says that aj doesnt need her anymore. and then she walks away (to a car that she stashed somewhere, somehow?????). and thats where it ends.

SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, AWFUL and extremely out of character. clem was so happy at the school at the end like her little happy sigh of relief/laugh at finally finding a safe home for her and aj????? dont fucking talk to me skybound

AND THEN we have the synopsis of the 3 part comic coming next year. where clem is gonna find this amish boy named amos (who "has his head in the clouds"), and they join up with a group of teens (HMM sounds familiar) at a ski lodge (HMMM SOUNDS FAMILIAR), where romance happens (HMMMMM SOUNDS FAMILIAR), and internal strife starts happening with the group

also theres evil twins (HMMMMM SOUNDS FAMI-)

so yeah. awful is an understatement. some people think we're gonna get more explanation for clems reasons for leaving but im telling you right now we arent like thats kind of the point of the skybound x comic. to set up this mess of a trilogy (thats being targeted at 14 year olds). and if they TRY to give more explanation, it wont be good enough, because clem WOULD NEVER LEAVE???? im not even giving this a chance. im tired of being given information (about a piece of media in general not just this comic) and still going "WELL it MIGHT still be good i should just give it a chance" no ive learned to trust my gut now.

LIKE... i know theyre trying to avoid the determinant choices/characters of s4 by just hand waving them away, but they couldve just written something that takes place between s3/s4? theres like 4-5 years of time unaccounted for there. thats the perfect place to write some extra content WITHOUT erasing the player choice/participation of s4, and ripping clems happy ending away from her for literally no reason

#a bit of a ramble just cuz im mad ugh this stupid fucking comic theres no way they can sell this as canon like #sorry not sorry skybound just because you say its canon doesnt make it so #skybound you just bought the rights to her and bastardized her character #i side with the telltale still not bitten team she was THEIR baby and the s4 ending is the TRUE ENDING #this comic is pointless #just go play s4 itll be a better use of your time #twdg #skybound x #replies with lexi #incognito
