I don't think you know what a "plot hole" is. Leaving something unexplained is not a "plot hole" unless it directly interferes with the telling of the plot.

A plothole is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot, or constitutes a blatant omission of relevant information regarding the plot. These include such things as unlikely behaviour or actions of characters, illogical or impossible events, events happening for no apparent reason, or statements/events that contradict earlier events in the storyline.

Copy and pasting the Wikipedia page for "plot hole" does not mean you understand it's meaning.

I was trying to help you understand it on your level.

I would suggest actually reading the definition first. There's nothing in that definition of yours that actually applies to anything you listed.
The closest would be Clementine at the end, but that's only a plot hole if they do nothing with it in season 2. Otherwise it's just a cliffhanger.

Um....no. That isn't a plot hole. Lilly's fate was explained in the comics. Kenny and Ben...if they ended up going with you, they die anyway. Clem will most likely be in season 2. The cancer patients, who the **** cares? Everything is explained, you need to know where to look.

A plothole is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot, or constitutes a blatant omission of relevant information regarding the plot.
Are you even reading what you post?
Example: Imagine a show where two people get stranded on an island with no escape. Then the next episode of them is in the city, with no explanation or mentioning of how he got off of the island. That's a Plothole. Something happened that doesn't make any sense at all, and they never explain it.
The story is about Clementine and Lee. Lee died and Clementine ends up on her own. So even by your logic there is no plothole. Not knowing what happened to the other characters, is a lack of resolution. They didn't tie up loose ends with every character, probably to leave you wondering about season 2.

The Lily in the comics is no longer the Lily from the video games I hear, Kirkman changed the comic Lily so she would be another character.
This either means, Lily will return, or he just didn't care to make the video game Lily's story collinear with the comic Lily's story.
We also never see Kenny die, he may have escaped, maybe, possibly.

I love how the op completely misused the word "plot hole" and then got super uppity and defensive when called out on it.

Oh my GOD.

To have major characters disappear for unknown reasons results in major plotholes attributed to bad storytelling.
No I don't read comics.

When do characters disappear for "unknown reasons"?
- Lily leaves because she shot Carly/Doug and she steals the RV or you leave her by the side of the road.
- Kenny and Ben are dead and the reasons why are quite obvious.
- Molly is either dead or she left at the end of episode 4, and she explains why she leaves.
- Vernon and co. leave because they steal the boat.
- Omid and Christa leave because Lee leaves them behind and asks to meet up with them later.
- Clementine only disappears when she's kidnapped, which is self-explanatory.

Nothing is inconsistent.
Nothing goes against the flow of logic established to the plot.
The only blatant omissions are hardly relevant information to the plot.
-No unlikely behavior.
-All events happened for a reason.
-Nothing was contradicted.
Read what you posted.Cliff hangers aren't plot holes either...

OP a plot hole is like how Clementine a 9 year old dragged a grown man to safety through a crowd of zombies or how Lee knew Clem was in the hotel (personally i don't remember her telling me, or why Lee instinctively knew where to go, which annoyed me a bit).
Them not telling you what happened a character is not a plot hole. What could be is if you told Omid/Christia to go to the train, Clem to go to the train and she in the middle of the countryside? That might be a plot hole.

In my game she mentioned it when they were on the train.

I hate it when people can't appreciate a story unless every single possible variable is exhausted.
Not to sound pretentious but read a good book. Most stories leave many elements open to reader interpretation. If a story needs to explain everything at the end, then it's NOT a good story.

Plot holes are always negative and unintentional, unexplained, or unclear. Because this was done on purpose it would be considered a plot
mechanism instead.
And Clem tells you where her parents stay on the train, and I believe she mentions it again in the mansion? Maybe you don't hear about it with certain choices. It could be considered a plot hole if certain choices never lead to hearing about it, though.
Clem dragging a full grown man...I guess that could be considered a plot hole. Its not exactly a big one, though. I'd really consider it more of a deus ex machina.
