    I love the fact that he dies especially super early in the series. It shows that he isn't some super powered hero or plot armored protagonist, he's just a regular guy trying to do his best to take care of the ones he cares about. That is how we the audience can relate with him throughout the whole season.

      It also shows just how much of an impact Lee had on Clem that she still talk about him 8 years later in the final season.

    The part where they kill Lee was perfect ending a story of a man needing redemption for his actions. He sacrificed himself for a little girl he knew needed help. Still sad, there’s no big plans for new games. All we can do is replay this beautiful story.

    Lee was absolutely coated in personality despite being a character who’s dialogue options are chosen by the player. It’s something that Telltale is very good at doing. Starlord, Clementine, Batman, Fiona and Rhys which are main protagonists from some of their other games were all great as well but I think Lee and Bigby are still the best examples of this and the ones that got me the most emotionally invested.
