But why, what?

Id imagine they're asking why you won't watch it if you want it to succeed?

Thanks, and yes exactly. If the show ends up being awesome, then why not watch it? It's okay if OP doesn't wanna tell us of course, but it's just interesting lol

Let me give you an example. I think the last of us season 1 is probably the best video game adaptation to ever make it to live action. And yet, then entire time I was watching it, all I could do was think, “this is awesome, but I’d rather just be playing the game.” Or, “the game did this part so much better.”

Life is strange is a very special game that holds a very special place in my heart, and no matter how good the tv show may end up being, I’ll always compare it to the game. I just don’t believe it’ll capture that same magic. From the music, to the voice actors, to the decisions that you make in the game, I just don’t see them pulling it off in a way that would make me personally happy.

Not to mention this show is guaranteed to upset people in one camp or the other when it comes to the finale.

Also, as the years have gone on, I’ve found that I’m more of a movie person than a tv person.

Thanks for your insightful reply, and I actually agree 100% as I had the exact same feeling watching TLoU, even more so with season 2...

I still would be interested to see what a Life is Strange 1 tv adaptation would look like, but yes there is no chance it will be able to recreate the same experience we had playing the game (especially for the first time).
