I fail to understand your logic here because Hollywood has been largely unsuccessful at adapting video games into movies. Most are embarrassingly bad.
That’s because most times they don’t bring in the A Team for video game adaptations in Hollywood. It’s always some noob first time screen writer, or a screen writer that wrote some mediocre ass script.
Here you have Emmy award winning screen writers, Oscar nominated cinematographers, and experienced directors.
HBO doesn’t make bad TV shows. They never miss. This is the company that gave us The Wire, Euphoria, GOT.
There’s way too much talent here for this to suck. There’s a much higher chance of it being the greatest video game adaptation ever
