Druckman writes good dialogue and characters though, not only for a video game writer but in general.

The acting in his games makes his writing appear good.
But it ain't.
Mazin is hbo quality now.
Druckman is nbc at best.
Think the wire VS the shield.
Indiana Jones VS Sahara.

Druckman should just give mazin an outline for a story, and have mazin write it. 2 seasons. Make it slow. Make it drag. Make it rewarding. Can't say that for Druckmans games. His stories and outlines are decent just poorly written.

The Wire is obviously superior to the Shield, but that was also a very good show.
Which Indiana Jones are we talking about btw? Laughing

Removing most of the procedural crap from the shield would actually make it a much better show writing-wise.

2) SFFPC (streaming via Moonlight+ Sunshine)

Fucking awesome news. Although the casting will also be important.

Those shows are both excellent. Different but excellent. The Wire IMO is definitely superior though.

I would prefer The Wire pacing here though. The best moments in TLOU wasn't the action bits (but those weren't bad at all).

@hornyfavn
That may be true but adding the procedural stuff makes the show look more like a drama involving cops (mostly of course) and their everyday work which is one of the show's strong points IMO. However if The Shield would be made purely procedural it wouldn't be nearly as good.

Perfect choice. Quaid is too old now. And also as much as I love him, he still has a bit peasant-ish face.

Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler or Karl Urban for Joel.
Maybe make Troy Baker look like Joel and it will have the perfect voice Very Happy

Florence Pugh or Kaitlyn Dever for Ellie.

All those names for Joel look very fine. Butler > Urban > Jackman

And Ellen Page would have been perfect for Ellie too.

If Baker was made older and more "look-a-like" he would be great for that. He killed it in the behind the scenes stuff. The actress who played Ellie would be great too, they had good chemistry.

However i don't think there won't be a known face (not a known voice) playing the main character(s).
So Baker aside i think Waldau from GoT or maybe Jackman would be good. Waldau being the more affordable.
