    Most screen adaptations of video game IPs take inspiration from and are more loosely based on their source material. TLOU has often (sometimes shot for shot) actually retold the video game story. I've heard directors of movies like the Uncharted movie say they didn't want to retell the same story. However, it turns out that's exactly what people want. This series is doing well and the other video game adaptations haven't.

    And the opposite also true with voice actors they can't do much with thier face that limit them .
    Best voice actors are bad face actors.
    Seth MacFarlane and Troy baker are prime example They're genius in voice acting but awkward when they show Thier face .

    Wonder how they will handle season 2 since the second game was such a backlash, so they deviate from a certain Golf Club scene to not cause another upset or do they stick to the story and risk the internet once again just attacking them over it?
