Analysis of Molly's Character in Telltale's The Walking Dead
Molly is portrayed as a complex character in Telltale's The Walking Dead, displaying both positive and negative traits. To understand why she might be considered "terrible," we need to examine her actions and behavior throughout the game.
Initial Impression and Behavior
Upon first meeting Molly, she appears to be unsympathetic and selfish. She almost leaves Kenny, Lee, and Clementine to be devoured by walkers before changing her mind.[1] This initial impression is crucial in understanding why some players might view her negatively.
Skills and Abilities
Despite her rough exterior, Molly has displayed a high amount of skill in agility, parkour, climbing, and close quarters combat.[1] [2] These skills make her a valuable ally in the post-apocalyptic world.
Backstory and Motivations
Molly's backstory reveals that she had a 14-year-old diabetic sister living in Crawford. To retrieve medicine for her sister, Molly made a deal with Crawford's doctor, Logan, which involved having sexual intercourse with him in exchange for medicine.[1] When Logan cut off their deal due to fear of being caught, Molly's sister was taken away by Crawford's men, presumably to be killed. This traumatic event likely contributed to Molly's hardened exterior.
Interactions with Other Characters
Molly's interactions with Lee, Kenny, and Clementine are significant in understanding her character. She is initially hostile towards them but eventually warms up to them, particularly after being convinced by Clementine to help them.[2]
Why Molly Might be Considered Terrible
Some players might view Molly as "terrible" due to her initial hostility and selfish behavior. Her willingness to abandon others in danger and her rough demeanor can be off-putting.[1] However, it's also clear that she has a softer side and is willing to protect those she cares about.

09:39no room for weakness or
09:42Vulnerability in their little master race you don't look that old so you're sick
09:47We're sick. We're all members of a cancer survivors group that used to meet here at the hospital
09:53We're in remission, but that wasn't good enough for Crawford
09:56They'd already rounded up five of us before the rest of us managed to hole up and hide from them down here
10:02This old basements been abandoned for years. What is this a morgue?
10:07Yeah, irony is always high on my list when I'm looking for a place to survive. How did you find your way down here?
10:19Few of us got boxed in by walkers up on the street came down here trying to get away
10:24Now I just want to get out of here get back to my own people

15:12Molly

15:44I

16:18What does it look like?
16:21Where'd you get the bottle

16:31Kenny come on. Give me that
16:35Kenny give me the damn bottle get the fuck away from me
16:39Getting wasted's not gonna help anyone
16:42Yeah, well what is we are fucked
16:48Molly said there's not a single boat left in savannah
16:52No way out
16:54We got walkers all around us that crazy fuck on the radio messing with us. Hell if now ain't the time for a drink
17:12So
17:15Have either of you seen clementine
17:19Damned if I know
17:21Gotta be around here somewhere
17:23Ben, how did clementine sneak out of the house? Hey, don't put all that on me
17:27Omid took a turn for the worse and krista asked me to help. I'm sorry. I'm doing the best I can here
17:33She was frantic and things got kind of crazy. I told clementine to stay put what else could I do? That's not good enough
17:41Whatever don't give me that. Whatever shit. Just tell me where she is
17:46I think she went out to play in the backyard on her own with no one watching her
17:51Man, will you get off my back? She's fine out there. She better be or it's your ass
18:04Clementine clementine
18:12What the hell happened back here
18:16So
18:38Door's covered in pods don't think anyone came in through there
18:46So
19:07Hey girl, come look look what I found
19:15So
19:31Holy shit swear
19:45So
20:16So
20:23Omid's doing okay as well as can be expected under the circumstances
20:28I did what I could for him cleaned out the wound, but he's got a real infection running a fever
20:35without
20:36Antibiotics, I well you quit pacing you're making everyone nervous. Why are you even still here?
20:42Hey, if your friend really can get that boat working you're taking me with you as payment for saving your asses
20:48I figure that's fair enough. Don't you?
20:53Well
20:56You want the good news or the bad news
21:01Let's get the bad news out of the way first bad news is she's not taking us anywhere the shape she's in right now
21:07Gas tank's empty and the battery's dead
21:09So what's the good news that's it that's all she needs some gas and a battery
21:15Other than that, she's good to go. Well, how are we supposed to get that stuff?
21:23We should go back out on the street see what we could find that's not gonna work
21:28Crawford took everything and brought it inside their walls. They siphoned every gas tank stripped every battery
21:34There's nothing left out there. You saw that for yourselves
21:36She's right. Well, what about this crawford place sounds like they'd have everything we need maybe we should try there
21:45Now hold on a minute surely we have to try if there are people left in this city who are still alive
21:50Who still have supplies what harm can it do to ask?
21:53Trust me. You don't know these people. I do you showing up with a wounded man might as well put a noose around his neck
22:01They don't exactly welcome children with open arms either what the hell kind of a place are we talking about here the worst kind
22:08But I don't see what other choice we have and just how exactly do you figure we do this?
22:14Because from what i've heard that place ain't exactly friendly to outsiders we're armed and we've got the numbers
22:21I say we just go in there and take what we need by force
22:24Okay, that is literally the dumbest idea I have ever heard crawford's like a goddamn military base
22:30They've got hundreds of people in there armed to the teeth and not perimeters guarded day and night
22:35You're gonna have to be smarter than that
22:39Oh, maybe we can be
22:40I know the sewer system that runs beneath crawford like the back of my hand
22:44Y'all wouldn't happen to have a map by any chance. Yeah, actually
22:48I
22:53Think I could lead us through so we could pass under the perimeter and right into the center where they keep their supplies
22:59We come up right underneath them take them by surprise
23:03Grab what we need and get out before they even knew what hit them. Okay, that's not bad. That's better
23:09I've thought about it before just never had the people to do it
23:13But I think if we all work together we could pull it off
23:17And what do you want return for all this help you're giving us crawford doesn't just have what you need for your boat
23:23They're also well stocked with medical supplies
23:26Medicine that my people could use just as yours could we can do this we have to so it's decided then
23:33We're going to crawford. How do we even know where they store their supplies?
23:37I used to watch them from one of the bell towers just outside the perimeter
23:40I've seen them carrying all kinds of stuff into that old catholic school off the town square
23:45I think they're using it as some kind of supply depot. There's a good chance. We'll find what we need in there
23:50I don't know about you kid, but i'd rather take a chance on doing something than just sitting around here waiting to die
23:56That boat out there is an answered prayer
23:59Just gotta push a little bit farther
24:02Are you in or out?
24:07We should go tonight under cover of dark i'll go let my people know give you all a chance to prepare
24:14I'll be back before midnight. Be careful. That's how i'm still alive
24:23I told you to stay in your room. How long have you been there?
24:29Is it going to be dangerous it's what gonna be dangerous
24:35Crawford
24:37I
24:40Can't lie to you clint. Yeah, it's gonna be dangerous
24:44But it's the only way to get the things we need to make omi better and get the boat working
24:50That's why we have to do this
24:52Do you understand?
24:56I don't want anyone else to die
25:02No one else is gonna die I promise
25:04Promise
25:06You can't promise that
25:12No, I guess I can't sorry
25:17I guess I should go get ready. Oh
25:20Say what now?
25:21You said you need all of us to do this and you said i'm a big help. Remember?
25:27Molly said crawford is the only place left in savannah that still has people
25:31That means it must be where my mom and dad are, right?
25:35Yeah
25:39Clementine I think it'd be safer for you to stay here with omid
25:43But what if something happens to him while you're gone? What do you mean? He's sick if he doesn't get better and you know
25:51He might try to hurt me
25:59Can't I come with you
26:04No, i'm, sorry
26:35So
26:48Check out what I found in the garage hatchet hacksaw some other tools might come in handy on this little break-in
26:55Thanks
26:56Can I talk to you a minute?
26:58What's up? I took another look at the boat. She's a 30 footer
27:03So
27:04So we're gonna have a capacity problem boat
27:06That size ain't gonna hold more than five people even with one of them a kid me you clem krista. Omi bin
27:15Assuming everyone makes it back alive. That's still one too many even if we cut molly loose before this is over
27:23You're gonna have to make a decision. You're not serious. Look. I'm just saying if we want the best chance of
27:32Survival
27:36Who the hell is this this is brie she can help us
27:44We don't need her she's just gonna slow us down
27:47I was a student at the school where crawford keeps their supplies. I know the layout with her help. We're in and out faster
27:54Anyone have a problem with that? I guess not then. What are we waiting for? Let's get moving
28:02So
28:06Hold up just a sec
28:11You understand why you have to stay behind don't you
28:14I guess
28:16Plus you have a job to do an important job. I need you to stay here and watch over the house watch over omid
28:23What should I do if something happens while you're gone?
28:26Here I want you to take this you remember how to use it, don't you? It's just like I showed you
28:32I remember so if anyone tries to get inside the house, that isn't one of us
28:37Or if something does happen to omid
28:39I know what to do
28:44Let's get you inside
28:56So
29:02Let's get this over with
29:17This should be it we're right underneath the center of crawford the old school should be directly above us
29:23Okay, people. This is it
29:25Remember the plan we go in hard hit them by surprise grab what we need and get the hell out
29:32We need to do this fast. So everybody stay sharp. Stay alert and stay close together. Got it
29:49Can't get a good look above with the cover on
29:56You
30:00Let's go
30:10Where is everybody
30:12There should be guards patrolling
30:15What are you disappointed?
30:17It's just strange is all I think I see one over there by the door
30:22Is
30:24Okay, me and kenny will take this guy out on my signal the rest of you follow us over
30:30Everybody got it
30:31Okay, kenny. Let's do this quiet. No shooting unless there's no other choice right behind you
30:47Don't fucking move
30:49Move
30:51I ain't gonna tell you again
30:55What the fuck
31:12What the fuck is a walker doing inside here get inside fast
31:20So
31:45Fuck fuck do you think they saw us?
31:49Yeah
31:51Definitely
31:54Shit
31:58What the hell happened here, I thought this place was supposed to be secure
32:03What always happens I guess in the end the dead always win. Oh, man. We are so screwed
32:10No, this is good
32:12So
32:15Vernon's right
32:16We can deal with walkers easier than our guards
32:20I agree. So long as we don't let them box us in we can still do this
32:23The plan hasn't changed the plan hasn't changed every time walkers show up the plan changes
32:29Do you even have any idea how many of them are out there?
32:31No, you want to do a head count or do you want to get what we need and get the hell out of here?
32:38Come on I think I know which way to head
32:42I got a bad feeling about this
32:47So
33:11Just keep moving
33:18Here
33:28Looks okay everybody in
33:47So
34:02Figures
34:10Looks like they were using this room as some kind of command center
34:12Or
34:16Okay, so now what where do we start looking
34:28Here
34:34Just give me a sec
34:43So
34:45Where can we find some fuel for the boat
34:49There's a maintenance shed across from the playground here if they were storing fuel that's probably where it'll be
34:58Where would be the best place to look for medicine
35:01Right here nurse's station. They were using it as a medical facility
35:07How do you know that
35:10It just makes sense doesn't it
35:15So then we just need a battery this auto shop it's right next door
35:21Yep, it's called herman's you can't miss it
35:24Okay, i'll make the run to the maintenance shed for the fuel
35:27It'll be faster if I go with you I can take you right to it. I'll come too. No two people's enough
35:33You stay here see if you can use any of those tools we brought to get that armory door open
35:38We might need to shoot our way out of here. I'll go for the medicine. I'll come with you. I know what to take
35:45Okay
35:46Guess that leaves me to go find us a battery. I'll go with you. Watch your back
35:51Okay, we've got a plan
35:52Everyone be careful. Stay close to one another. We'll all meet back here. Good luck
36:08So
36:22Hey, you need any help with that, thanks, I got it just once i'd like to do something useful, you know
36:28I'd make a nice change of pace. Wow. No need to agree with me quite so much. Thanks for the vote of confidence
36:35Well, i'll let you get on with it
36:42No, wait
36:43There is something you can help me with something that's been on my mind. I could use your opinion
36:48What is it?
36:50It's kenny since i've been helping him work on the boat. I've gotten to know him a little better
36:54Since i've been helping him work on the boat i've gotten to know him a little better
36:57He's a good guy, you know, and it's eating me up knowing what I know
37:03I've been thinking about telling him the truth ben. Come on this again
37:07It's my fault duck and kacha got killed if I hadn't screwed up back at the motor and they'd still be alive
37:13How am I supposed to just carry something like that around?
37:16I have to tell him
37:18Ben
37:20Ben no offense, but have you lost your motherfucking mind kenny's barely hanging on you tell him you're to blame
37:28I don't even want to think about what he might do
37:31I know i've thought about that, but I don't know how much longer I can keep looking him in the eye
37:36I feel like i'm lying to him by not telling him i'm telling you man. It's a bad idea
37:40Real real bad. Hey, maybe you're okay walking around with somebody's blood on your hands, but that's not who I am
37:46I can't just pretend it never happened
37:50Look we need kenny
37:52We need him to hold his shit together if we're ever gonna get out of here
37:55So you need to keep this to yourself for the good of everyone. You hear me?
38:02I hear you i'm gonna get back to this
38:06So
38:13How things going with that door slowly but surely
38:28Looks like they had quite a system here crawford's final solution
38:35So
38:55Just a bunch of paste

46:31More of crawford's rules. How did anybody live like this? I'd rather take my chances on the outside
46:49So
