I think that's the thing though. I have zero interest in revisiting Joel and Ellie's journey.

This right here is why I think straight adaptations have a giant, often insurmountable hurdle to overcome. if you've seen, heard, and played their journey already, why would you want to go back and only see and hear it?

Because it's not made for the people who have already played it-- it's made for those who never would, and thus would otherwise never experience it.

And I fear for THOSE people, it would compare negatively to similar zombie shows and films. Halo did very well with general audiences who were not fans of the game, precisely because they didn't try to just tell the game's story.

Of course, as cheapLEY stated, the gamers out there hated it lol
