@P_Tigras Except that bulls are not human beings. If Carl is being held to the same standards as a horny bovine then why not Jason as well?
@Bikkje Well he’s obsessed with her, as in “in love with” and he’s possibly sexist enough to think that she can’t make a choice on her own because she’s a woman and it’s entirely between him and Jason. Although the only real solid evidence is for the former.
@Shoelip At least Carl was pushed into losing his temper. Nobody pushed Jason into acting like an animal. He freely chose to rut like a bull heedless of the potential consequences.
I’d say Carl isn’t as hard on Candace for three reasons:
He loves her and doesn’t want to hurt her. Yes, he’s a bit suffocating, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care for her. And no matter how betrayed he feels, he can’t just will away his feelings for her. So it’s easier for him to aim his anger at Jason instead.
True or not, she’s always allowed Carl to believe that she loves him. And if it’s true, he doesn’t want to destroy it.
She never pushed him over the edge the way Jason did.
@jimd that’d be awesome in the little conversation you have with him after the fight I wanted to be able to walk in and smack him in the head for being such an idiot
@shoelip here’s the deal if my girlfriend left me for someone else it’s her choice that’s fine If I catch her flirting with someone else I end the relationship because that is not something I want to get caught up in if my girlfriend cheats on me with someone else I’d be pissed but I would handle the situation calmly however if he had the balls to gloat at me and bring my manhood into question (In any of this situations) I will hold him down and rip off his testicles if he’s lucky in my opinion Carl’s reaction was perfectly reasonable
also as for the idea that Carl believes she can’t make her own choices its less likely that it is due to sexism and more likely it is due to the fact she has proven herself incompetent and fearful on several occasion and if not for Mindy would most likely be dead
@817819, when has she proved herself incompetent and fearful? I don’t recall any situation is which she has been.
And yeah Jason acted like dick, but Carl’s reaction was way over extreme and unjustifiable. You don’t beat someone to death for sleeping with your girlfriend or for talking crap at you. It’s a gross overreaction.
carl tried to control his anger and leave before he attacked him,full aware this guy was sleeping with his girlfriend and apparently jason just HAD to push his luck a little more
you dont sleep with someones girlfriend and if you do you sure as crap dont rub it in their face, as far as i know the ONLY logical conclusion is carl attacking jason
if someone is running around during an apocalypse talking to people like this he needs to learn a lesson for his own safety because eventualy someone less kind than I would get pissed and kill him
@Troggster he didnt say for sure Jason was going to die or how he would die, you never know Jason could live until the zombies over ran the cathedral & since he can not be as mobile as the rest of the group he could be left behind to become zombie food
Well i would not say it would be unrealistic for jason to do something noble with the right motivation I mean with the chicks finger he does seem like a clingy sort
Hold up… @zigzag arnt you a female? Because if im correct then you may never understand why us guys deem it reasonable for carl to beat the (pardon my language) shit out of Jason
@Thatdudeoutthere i dont know about that because Females can be just as brutal if not more than the Males, i know my wife can be when she’s pissed off lol
@817819, Candace doesn’t hide in the car, if you read the description she says she saw a child out there, (the creepy ghost child) and went to save it. I don’t think she’s pathetic or cowardly at all. I don’t think she’s anything at the moment other than Carl’s (ex)girlfriend. That’s pretty much all her character development.
@TDOT, Yes i’m female. But I don’t see why that was anything to do with it. It’s called self control, unless it’s self defence or Jason had physically threatened or attacked Candace and it was a pre-emptive defence strike, there isn’t any excuse of the level of beating Carl give Jason. Saying it’s a guy thing is frankly bull, and suggests that men have no control over their animal instincts.
And just to link this back to something productive :} @JimD, Will there be more beta testing for part 4 or is it just a waiting game for full release now?
@Lobo420 I’ll second that, sort of. If men enjoyed humiliating each other the way a lot of women often seem to enjoy humiliating each other, there’d be a lot more dead bodies around. This is a big reason why most men are so careful not to push each other over the edge. It’s something most of us learn while very young.
