🎬 In this FilmSpeak video essay we discuss the INSANE Perfection fo the Fallout TV Show and why Fallout is the best video game adaptation yet!
🔔 SUBSCRIBE: czcams.com/users/filmspeak?sub_con...
The Fallout TV Show Sets the Standard for Video Game Adaptations. In a landscape cluttered with hit-or-miss adaptations, the Fallout TV show stands tall as the epitome of what a video game adaptation should be. Join us as we delve into why Fallout not only captures the essence of its source material but also pioneers a new era in adapting interactive narratives to the small screen.
Unlike many adaptations that feel shackled to the constraints of past games, Fallout fearlessly forges its own path with fresh characters and narratives, all while maintaining the unmistakable authenticity of the game universe. Through skillful storytelling, it deftly immerses viewers in the post-apocalyptic world, allowing them to experience the thrill and wonder of the games firsthand.
What sets Fallout apart is its ability to leverage the open-world nature of the games, enabling the show to craft unique adventures within the expansive Fallout universe. This freedom to explore and innovate breathes new life into the franchise, ensuring that fans both old and new are treated to an unforgettable journey.
While other adaptations, like The Last of Us, undoubtedly excel in their own right, they are often bound by the linear storytelling of their source material. Fallout, on the other hand, embraces the boundless potential of its universe, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world where every corner holds a new adventure.
Join us as we celebrate Fallout as not just a TV show, but a blueprint for the future of video game adaptations in this Fallout analysis. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Fallout review and explains why the Fallout tv show is perfect, how Fallout perfected the video game adaptation, when the showrunner is Christopher Nolan's brother, why Fallout is so great, Fallout gives me hope for video game adaptations, and why the Fallout series works. Enjoy this Fallout explained and Fallout ending explained video!

What did YOU think of the Fallout series? 😉👍🏻 Best video game adaptation so far? Comment below!💥 Thanks again to Harry's! 🪒 Make sure you check out the Shave and Suds bundle visit www.harrys.com/en/us
"Insane Perfection" ? Pfft. Cmon buddy, how many times have you watched this? ..comparing this to Arcane or TLOU and having it come out on top, is insane itself.. ..if this show is a masterpiece in your eyes, all i can say is, go watch more film and TV from the past.. this show was written on a writers strike by the most leftover DEI activists one could imagine.. Jon Nolan attaching his name to this means nothing to me, because hes not a gamer, and clearly most other people involved werent as well.. ..it plays like, remember this? Oh hey remember that? Look over here! Slo Mo and Old Timey music! Dumb characters making dumb decisions.. its like they based fallout off Fallout4 primarily, and even then, didnt understand the tone.. homie doesnt even know what his c*ck is for? ..i could rip this show to shreds, but Mauler already did it.. go watch that if you wanna see criticism from someone unafraid to say it..
As adapataion: absolute garbage with complete disrespect to the source material. As an Austin powers parody: watchable if you turn the brain off. The props are good, would be nice to have a theme park ride like that (would be more lore friendly)
It was an exceptional adaptation. It took all the right elements of both the setting and the reality of engagement that the setting was created for; a person looking in, interpreting situations for themselves, and making choices.
There's so many ways they could have taken the easy way out, but they didn't. They captured the grimness and black comedy, and the little bit of hope, that makes Fallout great.
(edit:spelling)
I'm not subbing you. Why? Because of the anti-Maga dig. I don't expect you to care, just FYI.
@@YouAreStillNotablaze What did you like the most? Minor incest jokes (yes, seriously) or the absolute disrespect for all source material? The main plot of "why making trillion when we can make zero" seems to be a banger reveal for most web economists.
Lucy represents the player character in fallout 3, maximus represents fallout 4 while the ghoul represents New Vegas.
I definitely see that too! Pretty cool.
That makes sense! Although it is funny how New Vegas players are being represented as the coolest but they're the ones condemning this show 😭
That's because fallout new Vegas fans have issues with everything that isn't new Vegas lol @@jackalexande
@@jackalexandeI loved it, and New Vegas is my favorite of the series by far. My friends that watched the show all liked it, some that have never played, and some like me.
I think there's just this super vocal minority that are just being idiots and taking the (misinterpreted) Easter eggs far too seriously
@@twodumbgamers9285I could see how someone could believe that, especially if their favorite Fallout is 4 or 76. Bethesda's style is very different from Obsidian's
Honestly this is truly one of the best Video Game to show adaptation, its finally got me Replaying Fallout 4 in a while
I thought it was so cool how the show really got people into replaying Fallout or playing for the first time.
Jonathan:" I do this shit for the love of the game."
Goggins:" I'm gonna steal that line."
I saw this show as it was visually but mentally I was seeing it as gameplay, real life VATS and speech checks. That bridge scene with the fiends is a great example.
There are a couple of vids like that. Nearly all of them are pretty hilarious
I haven't seen this yet, but I did work on it as a Mid VFX Editor. Its crazy to think I was working on this before the strikes even happened. That seems like 5 years ago, but its only been 1.
Ah that's amazing! Congrats to you and your team. Ya'll did an incredible job. The visuals were fantastic.
I went into the show not knowing much about the games, and now I'm 100 hours deep in fallout 3 lmao
Welcome to The Capital Wastes, don't feed the Yao Guai
after 3, i highly recommend New Vegas or 4, good games!
I jumped into New Vegas 😂
I absolutely loved this show, I think the fact it isn’t based directly off the game makes it even more impressive than the last of us.
Oh for sure! There's no set story they're following, they're innovating within the world of Fallout while staying true to what makes Fallout so great!
Thats the most absurd comment ive seen yet..
@@StayFractalesque you don't get out much do you? hope you have a better day.🙂
@@StayFractalesque thats lame most absurd comment ive ever seen was the n word as an insult.
It is canon in the game series so yes it is based of the gameS (you know, all 6+ of them). And again, it takes place after Fallout 4 and is 100% in canon, so everything that happens in the show will have happened in the game world when Fallout 5 comes out.
Why does noone talk about Norm? He practically became main character #4 after the first episode.
The secret fourth character, high perception and intelligence
I always talk about Norm
It feels like they took effort to make the moral player, the immoral player, and the amoral player, and instead of the ghoul, i feel that Lucy's brother is that 3rd spoke.
We see him fantasizing about revenge. Finding the secret of the vaults...
He was the 4th spoke i suppose. His journey felt equally as important as the other 3, and he was also representative of how different players make choices.
He wasn't really amoral. He was cowardly in the beginning, but brave enough to explore deeper.
Fantasizing about revenge doesn't make a person evil or amoral, acting on that does.
But I agree he was necessary to the narrative, so discover background exposition without flashbacks.
The ghoul was absolutely the best part of the show. He killed it. Fallout is by far the best videogame adaptation when it comes to an original story. The last of us is great too but a lot of it is directly from the game, which was the right move anyway.
I think the streaming era is great for actors like Goggins, who can act but to be honest doesn't look like a leading man in the Network era.
@recoil53 he maxed out Charisma. Also such pretty teeth
Only know him from the Quinton tarantino movies amd man, he killed every role@@recoil53
"Will you still want the same things when you've become a different creature altogether?" and "Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how." are the two basic thesis statements of the Fallout franchise with "War never changes" as the bedrock.
I was impressed by the use of game sound files.
The perks on display are also a good touch.
I noticed the unequip soundfx when Thaddeus took the fusion core out of his jacket. Good stuff.
The fact they all represent different playstyles in multiple different ways with each character is genius. Even the side characters felt like NPCs you'd meet in the games.
That Jonathan Nolan & Lisa gang gotta take on Bioshock immediately! They're the only ones I trust with it--even though its already in the works at Netflix, due in like 2027
Never played the game if im honest. The ghoul captivated me on the poster to watch. After watching this is easliy my favorite show of the year and is my favorite video game show or film .
It’s insane that the mascot vault boy is The best character in the series.
I was holding out hope that this show would be very good since the trailers were bangers. I’m glad it is a success and I’m hyped for Season 2
The show came across as carrying a certain theme over and over again, it asked us, and its characters, what would we do to survive in the wasteland. Would we kill to get what we want or need?, would we embody a fanatic ideal to staunchly hold on to power?, would we hide in a vault like a coward?, or would we stand by what we believe in? What do we become in the wasteland with its own set of rules, what do we evolve into, and would we really like what that is? I really like this show.
👌
What exactly would we (you pendantics included) do?
Great Comment.
What’s your opinion on the forgotten fourth main character Norm? I really liked him! He’s so underrated.
One of the early steps for Lucy is when she meets maximum the second time and his traped in his armour, early Lucy would immediately do the good thing and help him out without question. But this Lucy has been exposed to the world, she has doubts and hesitates because she has leant that the world doesn't follow her rules and can't trust in the intentions of others
If the irony of this show being made by vault tec (or amazon if you prefer) then your gonna love the boys
Don't overlook Norm as a character. His story arc is almost important as three three main characters
"Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every damned time " if that isn't an appeal to get rid of/limit side quests I don't know what is.
I had 580 hours in Skyrim before I completed the main questline for the first time. Conversely I played through the main quest of FO4 on my first playthrough, but probably 90% of my time playing FO4 has been using the Start Me Up mod to begin as a wastelander, ignoring the main quest and never talking to the Minutemen just wandering the wasteland and doing whatever I encounter.
@@j.f.fisher5318 I think smaller quests are great for exploring the world and getting the most out of a game - both for developers and players.
But please don't make be do a dozen other things that also require several subsidiary quest just to get to the end. Make things voluntary, not mandatory. I'll linger if I want.
Side quests are where all the flavor is. The main missions in the Fallout games have always been kind of besides the point and are there to end the game. If you're rushing the main quest you will miss out on 90% of the fun and lore.
I love my side quests. Find a needle in your eye please.
And then complain about how there is nothing to do beside the main quest. Sure.
Adored this show so much. Moreso than any plot, this show just understood the appeal of Fallout. Understood why it's beloved.
This video will be perfect for my upcoming break.
According to some “fans” it’s too diverse and progressive to ever be a fallout product, completely ignoring the whole message of the franchise by focusing on the “war never changes” like.
@TheNinthGenerarion I feel you 100%. I'm up late, inebriated, but comfortable. Thus, your comment got me thinking, so I'm gonna respond, but it's mostly for my benefit and to add to your point. Sorry for this essay haha:
I'm not someone that personally pays much mind to if a piece of media is "progressive" unless it's a really good example or poor example of intergrating those elements. It doesn't bother me the way it does others, regardless unless done poorly or in a forced way. When done well, it's generally subtlety and thus doesn't warrent much discussion beyond simply acknowledging it. IMO, Fallout has always been a good example of progressive media. They let different kinds of folks with different kinds of perspectives just be different. They don't draw attention to things beyond their relevance in the story it's telling. Thus, to me, it's natural and believable. More akin to how humans really are. The world has a lot of folks. The fictional world of Fallout even moreso. So in short, people criticizing the show for that is so strange. Cause, to me, it was always like that. In a good way.
Has anyone else noticed that Norm is played by Rico from Hannah Montana?
I watched it with my gf and the whole time I was calling him Rico, much to her annoyance
@@lukereker3298 saw him in ender's game and called rico, till his acting make me call him "the bully from ender's game". now he's lucy's brother, is amazing the presence he has on screen .
The worst thing about Fallout series is that we have to wait for 2 plus years to get the second saason
At least they take their time instead of rushing it
That’s nothing compared to waiting for the next game, so I guess the silver lining is that we’ll get like 3 seasons before the next game
What I don’t get is how are u gonna profit on the end of the world
When everyone’s dead?
well, they're not
we already have the answer to that in the games. the enclave, Vault tec, Mr house, the institute etc are all doing really well after and because of the apocalypse
@@amyoakAnimation it’s the apocalypse
Tell me how that’s doing well?
Super mutants, deathclaws, raiders, ghouls, rad roaches, synths
Ya sounds like they lost the plot
If that’s doing well
I’d hate to see what not doing well is
@@jermainerucker2027 yeah. the wasteland is a prety aweful place because of all those things. I dont disagree...but for the rich and powerful? house never encounters deathclaws, the enclave are safe on an oil rig, we still dont know where vault tec are but we know they have a hideout somewhere, the institute is close to being a utopia for themselves by making things worse for the wastelanders. thats my point. the rich who survived did really well from the appocalypse
simple, when it's only them, they rule it, they have the whole world to shape and that's absolute power. and power is great profit.
They did an awesome job. they got 95%, one heck of a job.
Ive never looked for a GIF this hard in my life. The one of Walter White saying "Are you actually this stupid!?"
I love Ghoul but I play as a Lucy.
This show is better than any right it has to be and I'm one inconoclastic fucking asshole.
I think the 3 main characters represent the charma system at least in Fallout 3. Maximus being neutral, I didn't know what to expect from him based on his early choices. Now thinking of him as a nuetral charma character it makes sense.
I recommend either downloading mods, or using console commands to give your character perfect stats and all of the perks, and then give the games another try. The challenge of the game is gone doing it this way, but it will allow you so soak in the world and the lore, and there is SO much of it. You’ll find yourself spending hours reading through computer terminals in an abandoned building to learn the story of what crazy thing was happening there on the day the bombs fell.
Great video and it nailed the themes of the show. I love that each character is showing a moral playthrough that the player character would do. The scene that really felt straight from the games was the dilemma about the fusion core in Vault 4. Take the core and doom the vault, but make the quest easier by having the power armour again? Or leave the core and do the right thing but make things significantly harder for yourself. Maximus was the evil choice and Lucy the good. That was a perfect Fallout adaptation of a quest line that never existed in the games. It really showed that the creators understood Fallout.
The Ghoul is the Bad not the Ugly, the scene where he gets information from the family (with Eric Estrada)is a direct pull from GB+U. Negative 40 points for not understanding the source material.
That was honestly an editing mistake I forgot to QC. I totally agree with you. Absolutely my b on that.
He's the only one that falls cleanly into one of the roles.
Lucy is more literally the Good or naive. But the Man with No Name is an anti-hero who is ruthless. He is good in the sense that he is less evil.
The Ugly was deadly and ruthless, but just a little less bright or lucky than the other two.
8:35 I think that's the villain's point of view. We the audience don't like that she's being tainted. We like that she keeps HER Golden Rule while she has to harden.
Watch the CZcamsr Mauler’s take down of the shows holes, he covers every single one…
I’m sure someone pointed this out but the dark knight was CHRISTOPHER nolan, not Jonathon Nolan. Brothers, but not the same guy
Jonathan wrote The Dark Knight.

my whole life is a lie
TDK WRITTEN BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN & JONATHAN NOLAN & DAVID S GUER.👍.

We need to stop the real life Vault-Tec
dude, you got the Bad and Ugly in reverse. Maximus pretty much followed Eli Wallach’s Ugly character to a tee. same with the Ghoul’s story arc mirroring Lee Van Cliff’s Bad character.
I mentioned this in a previous comment, but I 100% agree. That was a QC error I thought I addressed on my part but completely spaced on the final export until it was too late.
what a great review wow ! subscribing
The ghoul is not who cooper Howard always was. It’s who he had to be in a world as fucked as his, he never wanted to be that way. He had to.
Also loved this show. I Liked it a little more then Last of Us. Goggins kills it and is such an underrated actor. Been a fan of his work back from The Shield which is a show that appears to be forgotten.
Back to the show. I loved the balance of humor and seriousness. I liked the each story thread. Vault 33 and 31 mystery could have flopped easily but was well done. Lucy was a great character. Max was the weakest and wish he got a little more time, but he did grow on me. It was fun watching him love Vault 4. Speaking of vault 4. It was all a side quest but it was well done and enjoyed it. Some great humor and comparisons.
Excited to see how they handle a second season.
Hey Griffin, I’m curious, what would be the video game you would want to receive a film or TV adaptation next most and why? For me, it would be Pac-Man.
I honestly liked Norm's story more than Maximus'. And although I loved the show, I thought the d**k and i***st jokes felt tonally out of place with the rest of the show
Nice vid!
This Show Lacks the Factions since that's what I found the most Intresting of the series with New Vegas and doing a variety of quests associated with them
that commercial was dope as f**k!!!!
😏🙏🏻
I had to binge the entire season twice, it was so good!💯
Man I’m loving the show and love this video, a different creator named synthetic man or whatever just wouldn’t shut up hating every little thing about the show, that dude needs some help
I don't understand the dislike ratio on this one. Also I totally missed Micheal Rapaport as the Brotherhood soldier
I was on the second episode when I started making characters named Coop Howard lol
beautiful griff
I hope we can get a cod zombies tv show one day. The story from naucht to Tag. That could be great if done correctly
Bethesda: Helps make a good Live action Fallout show

Funny how this will help expose the game where as usual its over way round

One thing is that it has built in cornyness, so there is a buffer zone in a sense.
The show made me finish fallout 4 and start playing new vegas 😊
Norm is the 4th protagonist that added a lot to the show
now watch shogun please. its the best drama yet this year
They already nailed Fallout here's hoping Netflix doesn't screw up the Bioshock adaptation
Perfect about retconing and cotradicting the games!
Something that genuinely impressed me was just how GOOD the writing was for this show. Nothing is spoonfed to you, and while I've noticed it's caused certain youtube reactors to get confused and misinterpret some characters/scenarios, it's a testament to the intelligence and faith of the screenwriters that they aren't interested in explaining or providing exposition for every little thing. They allow for ambiguity, our own interpretations of character dynamics and motivations, and for the audience to work things out themselves.
Well the writing was awful.

A simple solution to the games would be having the Bethesda engine (building, gunplay, etc) and obsidians story creating and creativity making the best fallout game yet.

it is a remake of the wizard of oz

I don't know man,i know the showhow has some problems but shouldn't we just let it play out and see what happens? Right now we don't know the whole story. I have faith that they will do the right things.
no sir, that irony was absolutely not lost on me. most commentators i've listened to don't acknowledge it at all so kudos for that. though i guess if it's kinda implicit then you probably don't need to mention it? welp, now i've started overthinking sh1t again so i'm outta here, just wanted to thank you for an interesting video.🙂
What did I think? Pretty good, a 6/10 for sure.
The fight scenes were the worst part. Lots of "good enough" cuts. The contrast between The Ghoul fighting one power armored dude who has plot armor and 3 power armor dudes who don't was a a bit too silly for me to enjoy. I am of the camp that if a character important to the story winds up in a situation where they should die according to the established rules of the universe then they either need to die or the author needs to write a different situation. Obvious examples of plot armor take away from the story for me.
I still consider Attack on Titan to be my favorite show of all time, but a certain short blonde haired character's plot armor was a bit difficult to accept at times.
On top of that, the fight choreography was a bit lazy in Fallout. I really hate the trope of a SUPER STRONG thing grabs the person they are fighting and instead of just breaking them with their strength they throw them... god I hate that. If someone in power armor grabs a normal person, or even a ghoul, they should just close their fist on them if they want to win the fight.
The introduction scene for The Ghoul was the worst scene he was in and it was way too corny and cliche for me. Also his theme music was not what I would have chosen and was usually mixed too loud into the rest of the audio in a scene. It felt like it should be a comedic theme song, but they played it seriously and tried to make it badass.
Lucy was amazing, no complaints there. The Ghoul was usually good, but I think the directors really hurt his performance a few times with bad takes. Maximus was annoying to me at first, but I came to realize that was just his character and by the end I thought he was a great fit.
I wouldn't recommend the show to anyone, but I enjoyed it for the most part.
IMHO this show is far from perfect.
(Spoilers ahead)
The raiders getting in through vault 32 makes no sense. How could everyone in 32 be dead for 2 years and no one noticed? It only makes sense if Bud and his cronies like Hank and Betty knew but kept it quiet.
But if they knew, how could Moldaver and her raiders lie their way inside 33?
They retro-actively made it so that Vault-tec were solely behind the vault experiments. Now the Enclave have no reason to ever have existed. Which is a bad move as not only is the Enclave a major part of the Fallout timeline, it's already been shown to exist in the show.
They also made it Vault-tec who started the great war so they could wipe out everyone and create a new world with only one faction, their faction. This makes sense for Vault-tec who have a cause, albeit a horrific one, but not for the other businesses invited to take part.
Even if the plan works and they get rid of everyone else, giving them a monopoly on the world, it would be over a broken world. It would take generations of rebuilding before this cabal of corporations would command the same resources, power and standard of living they had before the war. Why would these self-serving people condemn themselves to a lifetime in a vault for a future they would never live to see?
Mr House is something of a fan favourite but, being in on Vault-tec's plans, his backstory makes little sense.
His sole goal is to resurrect human civilization and resettle it on new radiation-free planets and spent years before the war preparing to save Vegas from the bombs. He doesn't sound like someone who would deliberately cause that war, even if he thought it inevitable.
At the end Moldaver is framed like a misunderstood hero and we're expected to accept that. But she's been no less ruthless then the Ghoul, no less extreme then the Brotherhood.
But what I dislike more then anything else about the series, is how lop-sided it's been in the moral nature of groups on the surface. So far we've had Filly a town of lawless criminals, the fascist Enclave, the Brotherhood and Moldaver who are both willing to kill innocent people to get what they want.
The show keeps pushing the idea that morality always crumbles in the face of death.
But it's simply not like that in the games. There are plenty of people and factions who just want to live in peace, are honest, decent even noble. Like the Kings, Rivet City, Diamond City and the Followers of the Apocalypse. People who have chosen to hold onto morality and rise above their harsh environment. Those kinds of people are not yet represented in the show.
And for the record, I have always hated stories where we see a good person go bad.
Haven't played 3 but what was the purpose of the enclave
@@murderman8578 Minor spoilers ahead.
The Enclave was a secret organization formed before the Great War, made up of America's most powerful corporate, military and political leaders.
They didn't cause the war but wanted to take advantage of it if it happened. They hated communism and thought a nuclear war would wipe-out communism for good.
They came up with all the vault experiments and had Vault-tec build or rig the vaults accordingly while the Enclave prepared a shelter of their own. They believed that the average Joes and Janes couldn't survive a nuclear war, nor should they. But the Enclave considered themselves to be America itself. As long as they survived, America survived.
The idea was that if a nuclear war happened they would retreat to their shelter while the rest of the country scurried off to the vaults. Later, with all the data gathered from the vault experiments, they could re-create America in their image, better, more efficient and controllable in a world free of communism.
If you want the whole history of the Enclave, I highly recommend these lore videos.

So they built a shelter for themselves, came up with all the vault experiments and had their lackeys, Vault-tec, rig the vaults accordingly. The idea was that IF a nuclear war happened the Enclave would retreat to their shelter while their unwitting lab rats scurried off into the vaults. Eventually, with the data from the vault experiments, the Enclave would re-create America in their image. More efficient and controllable then before in a world without communism.
Which is exactly what they've tried to do since they revealed themselves in Fallout 2.

Despite the lore being great for Halo, first person shooters just don't translate as well to the screen as do RPGs like fallout, even if they are sorta right fps's.
Halo could of been an amazing series
It was terrible because the people making it had no idea what they were doing not because halo was a fps
"Isnt it ironic that this anti-capitalism message is being sold by Amazon."
Nope, selling your own opposition is merely a cornered market.
“The Insane Perfection of the Fallout TV Show.”
New Vegas Cultists Disliked that.
@@theLunarDJMad about the chalkboard thing? Got anything more substantive to say on the matter other than "its bad"?
@@Zoroasterisk the lets blow up the world for profit shady sand being a pre war city instead of a post war man made city ghouls having to take specific meds every day to not become feral maximus being one of the dumbest people ever.
@@raywolfe2897 you and a lot of people are misunderstanding the scene, they didnt just outright say "lets send the nukes" Mr house specifically asked them what happens if nuclear war never happens. Vault tec didn't intend to end the world it was a plan B in case the nukes were never launched. given the various unfinished Vaults in the games and the fact Barb's daughter wasn't in a safe place when the bombs dropped makes me think Vault tec never got the chance to do that plan B. The show never said shady sands was a pre war city, the billboard literally has a Brahman on it. does the show say that ghouls need those meds to stop themselves becoming feral? Coop and the other Ghouls THINK that that's what the drug does, we already have the snake oil salesman character conning waste landers in the show is it so hard to believe the two people watching TV were also conning the Ghouls of the wasteland? and Maxiumus being dumb? you know a lot of people play the game like that right? "idiot savant" is a pretty popular perk to take
My dad died a while ago
I'm sorry. 😢
Sorry for your loss
Sorry, dude. Mine is getting close.
Perfect? Ridiculous.
It's a pretty darned good show, mainly due to great existing lore in the games, and a favorable comparison to nearly every previous game adaptation (and a sea of other identity politics-laden garbage these days).
Here are some of my criticisms (certainly not exhaustive):
1) The actor playing Maximus is not nearly on the level of the other two leads. He plays every scene the exact same. Writers have him screwing every single thing up, then failing up every time. Ugh.
2) Tacked on love story that is just weird. When she jumps at his face at the end, it's so unexpected, Re-watching they seemed to have a friendship, but no love interest. In the very final scene, it was SO flat and Maximum didn't return her affection at all, he seemed in friend mode, nothing more. Cuz he is very mediocre actor and the writers could do nothing with him.
3) Weirdly tacked on sexually ambiguous character feels incredibly out of place in the apocalypse. They even have this huge, gruffy guy refer to them by their pronouns, and every single other character very conspicuously avoided referring to them. CUZ 220 YEARS INTO THE APOLOCALYPSE EVERYONE IS SUPER WOKE, RIGHT?
4) Explanation of who dropped the bombs makes ZERO, and I mean zero, sense. Perhaps Vault-Tec is responsible, but why they'd do it and lose every bit of their wealth is completely beyond any possible reason. The writers seem to imply they dropped the bombs just to make sure they dropped, but don't explain why they would destroy their own amazing way of life (and their own vast wealth and power) in the first place, when they could have easily run their experiments in the modern world, hidden away!
They could have explained it just as foolish profiteering to sell vaults which just got out of hand when the Chinese went ahead and launched, but no. we had to have the utterly illogical wokie version, right?
Just awful writing at the end, saved only by existing lore they were forced to squeeze into. I hope next season sees some improvements, but judging by all over modern series that are praised, the woke will be emboldened in season 2.
Uses the word woke = instant yawn dawg
1) Although the actor is the weakest of the trio, Elle is a fucking lightning in a bottle and Walton is a fucking legend so yeah someone is gonna be the weakest link. Watch again the interrogation scene (be careful to not get triggered when they use the "t" pronoun) and see how he changes from shitting his pants to absolute and utter loyalty for the cult he's being indoctrinated into. Also the vault scene when hes stupid happy.
2) By this point we saw how Lucy was atracted to Max as soon as they meet each other, he came like a knight in shining armor in junktown traveled with her for a good while. Was the first person that she met outside the vault that cared for her and her quest he let her go with the head, putting himself at risk, dunno kinda basic lovestory ingredients all pepper during the series.
3) Yawn! you ppl lost this battle, just give up.
4) By this point I realize that you just missed the mark with the show althogether, and tbh I feel silly writing this response, but hey sunk-cost fallacy. I don't think we'll ever know who drop the bombs or why (fallout 5 maybe?) it was simply a buisness asurance by vault tec to his economic allies that if necessary they will drop the bombs.
Then you say woke again = yawn.
@@123aiakos Hey, for years the woke put that shit on T-shirts. Now that you've humiliated yourselves you want to pretend you don't exist? Nah.
@@123aiakos Also, have you seen Vice Principals? My favorite Groggins role. ;)
@@Christobanistan have not, cast seems like fun.
3 is one of my all time favorite games. New Vegas is up there too.
My modem died right as I got to penultimate episode. So I started a save file from FO4. My avatar is a lot like Lucy, but blonde. I found myself thinking about where I left off on the show thinking something something baby Shaun, something something wind up in New Vegas
And your son goes by Father now and he lives in a secret underground facility...under the Lucky 38 because he used Yes Man to steal NV from Robert House
Ya a 5th installment, but really it's a very... very... long cutscene
It's junk. Retcons major elements of ALL of the games, but worse it also fails internal cohesion in terms of plot and motivations. The show-runners relied on a scrambled timeline and shuffling viewpoints to avoid having back-to-back segments which undermined one another. The acting is fine (Goggins especially), the props are good, the sets are generally well-crafted, but this is a classic example of a show where the more you look at it the worse it gets.
Plus the BOS heavily use Engery based weaponry and nothing with Bullets and the tech they go after would lead to creation of more Tech Based Weapons
bait
LOL
It's deeply flawed, far from perfect
A 7 isnt perfect, there is plenty wrong with the show, from terrible lines to pure retconing. I enjoy it even with its impurities, but gaslighting everyone is ignorant. If other movies and shows were less garbage nowadays this wouldn't seem so impeccable to some viewers. Imagine your'e in a desert, and you see a a little oasis, its ganna seem pretty good to you regardless of your small criticisms, but put that oasis next to a 100 of them. You're not ganna be shocked and 'awwed' by the oasis if there are 100 more just alike and close by. Since the market is flooded with AAA mediocre terrible content, when something somewhat good comes out its outshines the garbage pretty easily making it seem near perfect when in reality you found one of the few shows above average in a sea of doo doo
preach the word
The leftist naivete and rhetoric in this breakdown is cringe.
I don't think anyone born after 2000 understands the true definition of capitalism.
😂 ur funny
show's providing great atmosphere, but (geo)political aspect of it is pretty bubbly/weak, cause in the real world one american corporation is not the only one to make decisions. plot with nuking selves is oversimplified and a bit dull: to convince somebody in the need of shelters, nuclear propaganda would be way much more cost-efficient, some international escalation would also solve the task. communism is a thing, dangers of which you'd better be aware of (at least soviet type communism), so saying that everyone with different opinion is such is also misinformational simplification. making a huge reveal/tragedy of corpo employees being hibernated is strange, cause from an organizational side of things it's pretty smart; depicting this as an evil act is an unadult view on power and organizational work. great 6-7 episodes, finale scenario decisions are awful.
I agree. it would be strange if just one company was calling all the shots....that's why the show didn't do that. that meeting room had Vault-tec, big MT, Repcon, Robco, West Tek and whoever that shadowy figure represented. you and a lot of people are misunderstanding the scene, they didnt just outright say "lets send the nukes" Mr house specifically asked them what happens if nuclear war never happens. Vault tec didn't intend to end the world it was a plan B in case the nukes were never launched and given the various unfinished Vaults in the games and the fact Barb's daughter wasn't in a safe place when the bombs dropped makes me think Vault tec never got the chance to do that plan B. and your final point. the executives freezing themselves wasn't supposed to be seen as an evil act...raising two vaults with the only purpose of being genetic material for those executives is the evil part.
