The Last of Us

That's,,,, that's not an original idea?

It's a video game, not a TV show. Don't be pedantic.

Don't be pedantic.

You mean, don't be accurate. The fun thing about pedantry is that it isn't useless. It literally is about the meaning of words. If you use the wrong words and are incorrect, you don't get to blame other people for correcting you.

Original means original, not a remake, not an adaptation, not a re-invisioning.

I mean, it's still not an original idea. We have so many adaptions as well and I want to see more new ideas. Some of my favourite shows are adaptions but I'm so sick of the discourse around "did they do it right or not" when there could just be original ideas.
