I just think Druckmann's ego isn't likely to let him fix the many structural and pacing problems with Part 2. This season was really very faithful to the first game, and in the case of the first game that was mostly a good thing. That's really not the case going forward, in my opinion. But he seems to take praise (or fawning) to heart readily and dismiss criticism, and there's been plenty of praise to reinforce his views about his own storytelling abilities over the course of this season's run. I think it's going to suffer from basically everything the second game did.
