HOT TAKE | ARVO > CARLOS
I FORGOT TO PUT SPOLIER SO SPOLILERS. okay I know i’m going to get downvoted to hell for this but i’ve thought this for awhile and i wanna know yalls thoughts. Carlos is a worse character than Arvo by a LONG shot. While i dislike Arvo more, Carlos might be the worst written character of the season. It was entirely his fault that Sarah is the way she is, none of your choices with him matter, his writing as a “doctor” is absolutely laughable because if you’re a doctor and don’t help a little girl walker bite or not you a bitch. He was just such a nothing burger until his death. Legit the only reason he’s there is to be the main antithesis to Carver and even THEN Kenny is the one to kill him and Carlos gets sidelined which i think is a huge missed opportunity. Arvo on the other hand might’ve been the worse person but is actually a very well written character. It provides the player with a kind of moral dilemma where you need to decide whether or not you take pity on this random russian kid, or you prioritize your own groups survival and punish him for being a coward. Only problem is that Arvo suffers from this seasons biggest problem of no choices meaning anything. He shoots Clem regardless of what you do which sucks but Arvo was a far more interesting and well written character than Carlos.
