With all of the different versions of ‘The Walking Dead’ set in their own universes (comics, TV, video games, etc) one user has pushed a potential for Telltale’s version that your actually in purgatory. It tries to say that Lee in’t alive and actually remains at the crash site. His last deed is trying to redeem himself by helping Clementine.
HYPOTHESIS: Is Lee Everett Clementine’s guardian angel as suggested through the notion that only his spirit/ghost left the crash site?
A multitude of other suggestions and interpretations have been left out to allow for discussion and critical thinking.
UPDATE: Thanks for the sudden growth in response, it’s very much appreciated! But, I also think I need to specify certain things now that people are kinda engaging on this. I am NOT saying that my analysis is right nor I’m I suggesting this is how the game should be viewed. I’m not saying Lee is a ghost or spirit (of course a second series will completely dismiss this theory). I’m showing that it’s possible to critically analysis a video game. It’s about expanding your imagination and having fun with how the narrative is presented. Honestly, don’t think too deeply about what I’m saying, but try to see what’s beyond classical narrative structure. Look at any other film/novel/game/tv series and it’s entirely possible to argue anything. I did this for fun, not to quarrel with the game’s content. This theory is easy to dismiss and completely rip apart, but try to see it from the perspective of critical thinking. Thanks again, Ryan.
Someone told me once that you can’t apply critical thinking to video games. Being a film student, I thought I’d counter this argument by making a theory based on the critically-acclaimed point-n-clink adventure The Walking Dead by Telltale Games.
