I mean to be fair he directed the games, it’s a pretty similar skill set. Really cool to see someone make the jump from games to TV in that sense.
Considering that it's his live action directorial debut (I think?) It shows that Druckman is incredibly talented. It's probably annoyed that dickhead Reddit forum to no end.
Tbh it's a match made in heaven. Mazin is an incredible writer - dragged himself through the mud of shite comedies and script doctoring, into becoming "The Guy" that can walk into HBO and have them eating out of the palm of his hand after one single show just because it was so bloody perfect. Druckman has a vision built on an top tier game that he doesn't feel too protective over because of the mutual respect he and Craig have for one another. If anything it's helped him blossom more, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets his own solo work in TV because of it.
The podcast really is really worthwhile, for those who haven't listened to it yet. It really delves into and explains a lot of how the show came to be, and you can hear the respect that these two writers have for one another.
