I didn't have high hopes for this one, but I must admit, Amazon surprised me with Fallout - a pretty decent adaptation of the best selling game series.
The most unrealistic part of this show was Lucy not immediately filling her backpack with 450lb of random debris from the first bombed out house she went in. Then she should have said “ oh, I am over encumbered and cannot run!”
The most unrealistic part of this show is that how not all women have colossal boobas. Did the creators not hear about the Caliente's Beautiful Bodies mod??
And then falloutseries.exe crashes cause you tried adding the big tiddie mods after 5 hours of trouble shooting to get the base series to start up issue free to begin with ofc.
It's a shame Drinker didn't mention Norm. As a character, Norm was a pleasant surprise. He is obviously small in stature, and appears cowardly on the surface, but Norm was seeing things clearly, and wasn't brainwashed like the other Vault dwellers. He's played excellently by Moisés Arias, who I didn't really know as an actor before. I'm hoping to see even bigger and better things from him in season 2.
Norm and Chet are destined to grow. I loved the exchange when Norm called him a coward and Chet responded by telling him they were all cowards who lived in a vault. It seemed to hit home for Norm. Looking forward to S2.
Source material has been well represented in this series. It made the show a lot to me, as a fan of the videogame series. I think they did a really good job on this one.
@thechicagobox I haven't played the games in years but I was massively into 3/ new Vegas and a little bit for 4. I was like a kid again watching it, they nailed the atmosphere, costumes, setting.. music. It was really good fun.
imagine if it was a game mechanism to forget about quests, I mean yes you take a letter from someone to someone and you end up 2 months later in a vault doing that quest line and you do not even remember to who you have to deliver the message... I would like to see something like that ingame...
@@donmongoose Somewhat. The fight in Filly and the yao guai were pretty bad. RN I'm at the fusion core arc but I hope it picks up and they do it well in the finale.
@@Shockguey I thought it ended strongly tbh, I went in with low expectation but finished looking forward to season 2. I probably wouldn't if the Ghoul wasn't so enjoyable, but he was, so I am lol.
@@jimbobjunior. It's almost like Operation Mockingbird never actually ended and the CIA is trying to subliminally prime the population for full scale nuclear war and domestic conflict. But... ha, no that'd be crazy. They've never done anything like that bef-... oh shit.
You just listed why I can't stand the Brotherhood of Steel. Total power-mad hypocrites pretending their protecting others by keeping tech for themselves. And they're in EVERY. DAMN. GAME! I want to see Caesar's Legion! Now THAT was different.
@@jonahelliot4241they really need to let the BoS just rest and die off at some point, there’s only so much that can be done with them before they just become raiders in power armor like how super mutants just became big green raiders (excluding Jacobstown obviously)
Trees exist because in Fallout 2 a GECK is used to restore a massive area near the locations the show takes place & it’s been roughly 55 years. So yes in that specific location/area there can be a forest.
@@AnarchyThirtySeven pretty sure that if trees didnt exist elsewhere there would be no life on the surface, and also we dont have enough nukes to destroy all of the flora on the planet
Fallout 1 was BARREN. The kind of dead an lifeless that makes you wonder "But what do they eat??!?!?" Fallout 1 & 2 will always be the best/original. Bethesda screws everything up.
The thing that shocked me the most about this production is that Amazon allowed a straight white man to be a sympathetic character. They spent 6 episodes telling you, "Cooper is a monster." and then rug pulled you in the last episode to reveal that his diverse wife was actually the monstrous one. Even Lucy's father was just a mid-level manager when the Great War happened and was the continuation of plans set in motion by other people long ago. His treachery is revealed rather late in the season.
The black female Overseer ain't exactly a good guy either. Good on the writers to be colorblind in portraying the evil heart of man (and woman). I also liked that the writers didn't make anything specifically about race. They just wrote good characters and diversely cast good actors to play them. This series has many lessons to teach Hollywood right now, especially Disney.
@@ThePoorBoy The wife of Cooper ain't exactly a good guy either, proposing to end the world and kill everybody and all that. Also Moldaver got a bunch of innocent people savagely killed.
Ella Purnell is good actor but Walton Goggins really is killing it out there. He's basically only played in good shows and movies for a while now, his acting has become something truly special.
Not saying he's not a good actor but I don't think an actor is good or bad just because they're in a bad movie or series. Purnell was in Yellowjackets and was Jinx in Arcane both of which are good shows. I know she was in that crap Synder zombie movie before that but I think the reason that was bad is more down to Snyder than her.
@@kityhawk2000 But it helps massively because he's more scrutinized in those projects and also surrounds himself with better actors, directors, producers and any other staff that can help his craft. It also speaks massively about his ability because these people want to work with him and he is also picking good projects. You can look through Walton's works and see his range develop after he was just a cop/western show specialist for a long time.
Everyone only ever brings up Justified, The Shield, or Hateful 8 when talking about Goggins. More people need to seriously watch Vice Principals. One of the greatest comedy series ever made.
I find it hypocritical that one of the richest companies on earth, run by one of the richest humans ever, put out an anti capitalist show directed by a dude worth 70 million.
Have you been living under a rock for the last few decades? They have been doing this forever. The most famous bands make songs "against the mainstream". White men produce anti-white misandrist movies and video games. The feminist movement was started by men. BLM movement was started by non blacks. Diversion.
@@fredericklockard3854 I see it more as what happens when capitalism collapses: a few greedy people come together and inevitably screw over the common person and society as a whole. Communism - with its politburo - was great for that.
@@DukeEntwistle If even one person found it funny, that means you're incorrect about it being outdated, yes? And uh...let's see ...ah, at least 74 other people found this amusing. Hmm...o-oh, what's that? It's "mean spirited?" Uh...hmm...well, I can tell you that nobody, including people in Detroit, care. You're the only one. And he isn't lying either. Detroit is a shit hole and everyone knows that. Now, remain silent.
I have to say that the scene at the start of ep1 when the girl says "my thumb or yours?" And the absolute terror of the scene, how inevitable the end of life felt, that shook me from the start.
I love the fact that the show doesn't shy away from videogame logic of Fallout like how stimpaks just heals people or animals instantly, or Filly NPCs going back to normal routine after the gunfight.
Yeah, it reminded me of being in a shootout with Malcolm Latimer’s men in Diamond City and yet everyone else is minding their own business while bullets and lasers are flying.
One thing about the Wasteland being too green, it makes sense that after a two centuries life would begin to grow back in areas not directly impacted by the nuclear bombs. Chernobyl is like this. One of the most radioactive places on the planet and its overgrown with plants, and animals.
They also just said that the wolves especially and assuming other animals and plants have adapted to the radiation and its a part of them now. That should be something very interesting to study how life found its way to do that.
The thing is with Chernobyl, the Russians added measures to prevent most of the loose contamination from spreading, the most important feature being the shelter structure (only after trying to cover up the incident). A lot of people died doing so, unknowingly working to their deaths. Now we have a more permanent enclosure called the "Safe Confinement," which was somewhat recently finished. I would probably attribute this more closely to the bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki, where the concentration of ionizing radiation isn't even close to being as high as the mass currently still active in Chernobyl. As a matter of fact, most of the ionizing radiation from the bombs decayed within a week of time. It's just a lot of mis-information spread about how radioactivity actually works... since A LOT of people still don't understand it. Both cities were rebuilt, and people are living in them, despite the mainstream populace thinking otherwise (at least here in America).
As someone who barely knew anything about Fallout, watching this with my dad who didn’t even know of Fallout’s existence, we both enjoyed this show a lot more than we thought. We personally didn’t find the world-building to be too overwhelming and “video game-like.”
That should probably be a lesson every adaptation of video games should take from in the future, if you can make it something fantastic without people relying on having played the games before, then you've done something right.
Yea you enjoyed it because you dont know the game, youre whats known as a "normie" viewer. If you were a loyal fan of the series then you'd probably have a different take on it. Also I love how all the true fans of the game get their comments pushed to the bottom of youtube comments.. kinda forcing "the message" by creating an unbalanced perspective of opinions.
@@michaelmorgan9009 mate, stop trying to gatekeep your own game. Anyone can enjoy it if they want to, whether they've devoted themselves to playing them or not.
@@cadendicky1855 Remind me where I said that they couldnt enjoy it. Stop putting words in my mouth. Im just saying if they knew the game they might have a different view on it. Nice try though
I was absolutely sure they will fail. But after watching, I don't know if it could be done any better. Bravo, bravo! I really hope S2 will not make a slip.
They really made new vegas fans feel like they didn't matter and that their lore is just materials for bethesda designed to be dismantled to make a theme park out of in the form of this show
@@gageriddle1681I’m dumb maybe but I’m not understanding, I thought they were giving love to new Vegas the whole time in fact far more Easter eggs then I thought I honestly thought they would ignore new Vegas completely and that would of been a loss.
The complimentary character types, dynamics and interactions in this show are what the sw sequel trilogy tried to do in tfw and continually failed at more and more with each movie.
Am i stupid or did they retcon the source of the bombs? In the games we were nuked by China, but the series seems to suggest we nuked ourselves in order to Kickstart the rebuilding of humanity
in the Fallout universe the war was inevitable in the year 2077, but as I know, it was never really clear who started it first. according to F4 the president was weeks before the war evacuated to the Poseidon oil rig (the enclave) from F2 and it is mentioned something about a "shadow government". I think, 200 years later, it doesn't really matter if it was China, the US, the enclace or Vault Tech.
@@mikeschlau4501 It matters. It matters because they ripped the plot straight out of the last Resident Evil movie beat for beat in the most shameless way possible.
@@eb2681 Oh, I'm... Sorry. I wasn't aware that I was supposed to be morally okay with plagiarism because Sony won't be suing. I mean, shit, now that I know shitty writing and stolen ideas are acceptable I'm *totally* on board with this show! Is what I would say if i'd lost my mind.
There was a forest in Fallout: New Vegas, in the northwest corner of the map - Mt. Charleston. It's where you find the super mutant community of Jacobstown.
@@Deridus I honestly can't remember what I did the first time. I usually was a 'good guy' on my first play so I'm sure I gave him the mercy kill. I do remember some fire and finding his heart.
I liked how the gulper vomited a bunch of random junk when killed. Really true to the games where looting monster corpses always gave you a bunch of stuff that made you think about the monster's dietary habits.
She didn't eat any irradiated roach meat or use any cooking station. I hope she finds a good settlement in S2 and starts scrapping random stuff to build it
@@sarcasm-83 It wouldn't/couldn't let go of its prey, so it got turned inside-out. Pretty sure Drinker has experienced similar effects after some of his binges.
I did like how the Ghoul is still wearing his blue Cowboy Sheriff outfit under the dilapidated duster. I mean yeah, 219 years may be too long for that silk shirt to survive, but it does speak to his hidden attachment to his past self.
Sigh... The fact that we come to conclusions like "I liked it a lot more than I expected" or "It's better than it had any right to be" says a lot about the condition of movies in the last 15 years.
Street Fighter had the best villain speech ever. "For you the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life, but for me it was Tuesday."
@@SwiftNimblefoot The quote is from the movie. There was a Street Fighter comic that came out after that had the quote. Is that what you are thinking of?
You had me thinking of Timothy Olyphant playing 'Hitman' at the beginning of the clip, then you go and show me Walton Goggins... now I have to go and watch all 78 episodes of 'Justified'...AGAIN!
Me too. Never played the game myself and was slightly confused during the first episode sorting out characters and their motivations, but I tend to be pretty patient with initial episodes of any new series. After that..... I really got into it. Wildly entertaining and fun.
Quick correction: The Brotherhood of Steel do not collect prewar tech in order to rebuild society. They hoard it to keep society from destroying itself again. It’s an ongoing debate in the series whether they’re actually helping or hindering the situation.
BoS is different in every game because Bethesda changes BoS ideology however it suits Bethesda (and BoS is also quite different than in the original games)
That’s what made me wary of the show in the first place. “What happened- people wanted to save the world but disagreed on how” it gave me a red flag because throughout the games that wasn’t the message. All of the factions are flawed, some more so than others. A majority of them didn’t want to save the world but to gain power and control. Rule things the way they thought it should be ruled and it didn’t matter what they needed to do to get it. Kind of thing. Some characters believed their faction was for one thing, but others were using their faction for another thing. It was complicated.
Fuck Todd Howard, they need to keep him and his shitty writers as far away from this as humanly possible before he sends Emil Pagliarulo in to fuck it up.
I loved following the characters of Lucy and the Ghoul. Walton Goggins is in all his glory in this role. But I couldn't get behind the character of Maximus. He made stupid decisions constantly and he always had the dumbest look on his face. I think the actor is capable of more than they gave him.
Pretty sure the massive equipment bags that the Brotherhood squires lug around with them are a nod to all the times we got over encumbered carrying junk in the games 🤣
Actors say what they believe is appropriate. Rachel Zegler first said that she gives a sh*t about the orignial Snow White material, only to row back after the backlash to tell how lovely und influencing the 30s-Version was. Dakota Johnson said that she liked the recent Spiderman movies, but didnt know a single title of the last films Tom Holland played in. But its nice to see an actress even know what the game`s name is the show is based on.
Honestly, as someone who has never played a fallout game and had little to no context prior to watching the show, I really liked the world building. I could pretty easily keep track of how things are and why things are and anything that I'd like explained more will likely crop up later nice and casual like. Far better than an obnoxious paragraph of exposition like the writers are terrified I won't be able to pay attention long enough to get invested 😄 Can't wait for the next season!
I honestly hope they sneak in some kind of weird screen glitch or something in the next season. No explanation either, just a cheeky nod to those of us in the know.
@@greenleader3520 That and most of guys don't actually believe in this joke of a culture war. Which is really just a decades long grift to profit off useful idiots.
what i also liked about lucy is that she is not magically skilled. in the opening scenes she explaines her education and training during her growing up in the vault. She does not magically know how to fight, shes been training to do so in her growing up in the vault. Instead of Rey in SW just magically knowing the force and lightsaber fighting without propper training.
This, and all her proficiency in combat is MAJORLY capped by her naivity coming from growing up in a 100% peaceful and sterile environment. She knows how to fight, but absolutely not when and who to fight or trust, which she doesn't just overcome in a single, mind-changing "snap"-moment like so many shows do. Actually decent character development being written in these times sure is a rarity by how much this amazes me.
@@S_O_O_Cher continued optimism, attitude, and willingness to keep going “okey dokey” to every situation remind me of Rudy. She’s not jaded yet, not sure if she will become so. And as in ‘Batman Begins’ “the will to act”.
Also Maximus looks like he’s about to cry in every single scene he’s in.. My brother walked back into the room and asked “oh, who hurt his feelings now??” And I had to tell him that’s his happy and accomplished face.
He was by far the worst part of this show. Ella as Lucy I thought carried the show tbh. Goggins was fantastic as always. The BoS characters were all awful except that funny squire.
Mr. House can be alive, depending on which ending of Fallout NV is chosen as canonical. Elijah is almost certainly dead, since the ending where he "wins" would ruin the show.
a lore reason as to why things are so green in a bombed out wasteland. the show takes place over 200 years after the great war and in the time since that many vaults opened up. some vaults were equipped with a G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit), a device capable of terraforming.
Did anyone else notice that side character encounters were shot just like video game cut scenes? Often rambling monologs as you walk away, etc. Brilliant!
Fun fact: this is the third product in the Fallout IP to have a story revolving finding a parent or child. Fallout 3: Go find your dad. Fallout 4: Go find your son. Fallout TV: Go find your dad. If we keep this up Fallout 6 will have us going to find our daughter, father, grandmother, and maybe even cousin Eddie.
All of the games had a big surge in interest after the show was released. I recommend Fallout 4 if you want a digestible introduction to the world and relatively modern graphics. New Vegas if you want to dive into a deep and dark storylines, and Fallout 3 if you want a good mix and don't mind aging graphics.
@@cyryc They used the excuse that that area was not bombed in the war . Which is completely unbelievable since a survival bunker for the government is located under a hotel and the Chinese who knew about the silos and the bunker just said that’s ok we will let it go
In two hundred+ years, forests would definitely regrow and start retaking areas. The big thing is if the land is usable; there are sites that have had nuclear events happen that have regrown plant-life within our lifetimes. The real thing that would stop plant regrowth is if the land is barren and dead, or filled with concrete and rubble. Any area currently able to house a forest would be able to regrow it.
Raul Julia deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of M Bison. It seemed he never acted. He lived that role. While he was dying of cancer. Just to make his kids happy. Legend.
Also this show illustrates why we hate Rey because in Fallout they did such a great job with Goosey compared to how terrible Star Wars did with Rey. I haven’t played Fallout since Fallout 3, but I loved this show. The good parts make you forgive the flaws unless you’re looking for them to give a critique.
@@AdderTude Yeah, I think that was inevitable. Howard's a bit salty over New Vegas' success, and since it's a Bethesda backed production it was expected.
@@AdderTude The show also breaks out the Fallout theme for the NCR flag, which Bethesda typically reserves only for loving shots of Power Armor. The show understands how much iconography there in in that flag among the fans, it's one of the most recognizable symbols of the franchise.
Surprised there was no mention of the fact the whole thing was basically an homage to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, with some scenes ripped right out of that movie like the scene where the guy comes home and the Ghoul is just sitting there eating dinner.
Let's be honest, He stole the show, as much as I liked Purnell as Lucy (she did the naïve quirky Vault dweller well) Goggins absolutely killed every scene he was in. His on screen magnetism can hardly be outcompeted.
I think they made a perfect balance of Lucy being capable yet naive. They show that she has some experience learning shooting and martial arts in the vault, so she's not like completely helpless. As soon as she reaches the surface though, they show us that there are lot of savage badasses out there that can absolutely get the best of her.
Patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a poc protagonist who kills anyone for offending him and is portrayed as the good guy and then for current audience of course gets the strong whyte punani. Show is good aside from the heavy woke brainwashing and portraying the poc quota psychopath killer as the morally good guy because he was bullied once (of course) by whyte guys. All the woke brainwashing. There is even a transsquire with a painted on italian moustache in episode 1
What I like the most is indeed this character development. Lucy gradually becoming more hard, the Ghoul becoming slightly softer after his meeting with Lucy, Maximus trying to do the right thing but also being kinda selfish, the random jerks of the wasteland that live up to the typical game NPCs. Yes, I liked this show terrifically
I love that Maximus isn't just a "nice guy treated badly" but had a real dark side to him, acting selfishly to the point of killing people in the pursuit of what he wanted.
The way sex and relationships are treated as something just functional in the vaults was something I tought was amazing. And then you have Maximus who basically don't understand the notion of sex at all. Shows how the writers understood the world and how many usual societal concepts would change in a falloutesque scenario. I only played fallout 1/2 and new vegas, not sure if the sex and reproduction topic came up in 3 or 4.
Aside from the minor universe faux pas here and there, I enjoyed it. The main continuity flaw I really couldn't get past was how the villain lady presented herself as the leader of a bloodthirsty gang of raiders, who were quite content to murder the innocent vault dwellers in cold blood, and she herself threatening to blow up wounded survivors. But then suddenly in the finale, it's all 'oh no I'm actually just an eco warrior and your dad is the real bad guy. I was only PRETENDING to murder swathes of innocent people, capture my arch nemesis knowing that this will somehow cause his daughter to bring me the precious mcguffin via a series of fortunate and unfortunate events. Lazy writing if you ask me
The directing in this show is pretty bad. Especially the action scenes. But the director looks like he's never directed an action scene in his life. Especially the scene where the scientist guy is trying to escape the Enclave and he runs 10 feet from the auto turret and the turret completely misses him while he casually jogs past it lol.
i agree, i don't know what people are smoking, this seems like another force awakens moment where people eat up a shallow and contrived production and are ignorant of some glaring flaws
"I'm gonna kick that sonovabitch Bison's ass so hard, that the next Bison wannabe is gonna feel it. Now who wants to go home.... and who wants to GO WITH ME?" Masterful.
Never played the games but gave it a ago. Very solid 8/10. The world building nuggets are just enough to keep you wanting to know more and link all the threads together nicely. Looking forward to hopefully a 2nd season
2:25 The bulk of the survivors do not, in fact, live in vaults 200 years after the bombs. Nor were the vault dwellers _ever_ the bulk of the survivors.
Pretty sure the drinker was presenting a spoiler-free summary of the plot. The revelation that civilization survived the bombs, and that the vault dwellers' entire existence has been a lie, isn't revealed to the protagonist until towards the end of the season.
@@txdmsk i mean drinker is the target audience. Someone who knows what fallout is generally, but doesn’t care that much, besides shit looking cool. That’s like saying that halo is a great show, because John halo is cool guy, and guns are awesome. There is supposed to be more to halo, than just superficial iconography.
It seems like they were the bulk of the survivors right after the bombs fell. Mostly because larger factions and raider groups originated from the vaults. But that's just what I gathered.
You know Drinker, I have come back because I noticed, you omitting a LOT of relevant information. Or are you just so desensitized that you cannot see it anymore? Like the Ghoul was a man who just gave into the wise Communist woman of color like a good submissive man, despite you know "Better dead than Red" sentiment of the fallout universe. And of course the Communism isnt bad BS you always see. Oh and that CAPITALISTS were the one who wanted to start a nuclear war... for profit somehow? You also seem to forget that the only thing that tipped off the heroine was the fact all the raiders were fatally irradiated when scanned by a pipboy, and just, nobody bothered to check them for that in a society paranoid about that sort of thing. Also seem to forget that the main heroine can fence, shoot bullseyes, is a teacher, a plumber, a scientist and the daughter of the vault leader. Now one could SEE that as a Mary Sue who has tons of abilities and is impossibly good at almost everything, like Rey Palpatine. Yet you say "Nah it'll be fine." So when raiders murder most of the Vault and take them hostage, but not before a stunning and brave pregnant woman with a fork in her eye is mowing them down with a machine gun while the men get killed in less spectacular ways; they keep them as slaves. But then they revolt, take back control and decide to let these people who murdered most of them and potentially the vault they took the uniforms from, they say "Nah, it'll be fine. Lets just rehabilitate them." You also seem to forget to mention that the black diversity hero is a petty, selfish, murdering, beta male whose best friend in this surface society is a stunning and brave trans person who got a promotion over him and is glad (his best friend) had a blade in her shoe. Or that Heroine girl has to save him when the writers put him in a powerless suit with no way to get out, but she is tracking the head, which isnt there, but it leads her in the opposite direction the guy who took the head and sealed him into the suit went, so, the plot puts her here to save him. Or how about the vault full of mutants that are cannibals', where the power suit that was miles away and powerless is taken for plot convenience later. We see the scientists there being crazy and murdery and after they take his queen he steals a power core for his armor and goes to save her, but she does not need to be saved because they are releasing them, but he has to give his balls back to- I mean his power core he stole back to cannibalistic mutant vault dwellers. Or how he admits to heroine he was lying and using her and she is just like "It'll be fine." and nothing changes. And then later he lies to the brotherhood and is about to be executed, but his trans friend is the one that makes them not kill him for some reason because, progressive? But then admits she put the blade in her shoe to frame him? You also failed to mention the MASSIVE retconning with history and lore in the fallout universe in ways that spit in the face of fans, much like with Starwars. Or how the vault dwellers are just the genetic progeny of all the evil rich capitalists to guarantee them to be the best, despite being honestly the worst and dumbest. Yes the people who wanted to bring the murderous raiders who enslaved and killed them, they wanted to rehabilitate them and then get murdered in their sleep by them. Or how somehow making a nuclear war was a perfect idea to make the most profit or something. Or how the woman of color basically was the perfect genius who managed to survive hundreds of years, cares about people and invented cold fusion, but men "Took the credit of a woman" and apparently cares about the heroine and her brother, yet almost gets them killed in her raid, making them go across the irradiated hellscape or threatens to kill them on a few occasions. Or how 1 Ghoul manages to take out tons of power armor soldiers in a way that is "Super easy, barely an inconvenience." Im calling you out Drinker. You seem to swallow "The message" without any effort this show around. Are you unable to see it anymore because you have become desensitized? Or are you gonna reject a woke-a-cola, but a diet woke-a-cola is low enough in progressive calories that its tolerable? Or maybe, with your new movie prospects and getting into the industry you are watering your opinions down here and there so you don't make to big a wave to rock the boat? Really makes you think. Because now that I have seen more of this show, I find it impossible that you would miss THIS MUCH and give it a good ol "Go watch it" rating despite criticizing lesser known series for far less.
Well my friend, that’s an awful lot of information you listed there. I bet you watched the video from the channel Reaper and decided to leave a poop here. Although there was a little bit of bullshit in the show, I really don’t want to be the guy in an echochamber, constantly trying to nitpick and hate everything new, because so much is ideologically poisoned these days.

The Ghoul is Meek? Tf? And it’s shown he’s not fucking evil at the end, just hardened after 200+ years in the wasteland. Maximus is the guy who finally gets to live his power fantasy after getting his shit beat in for most of his life, and trying to figure out who he wants to be.
@@NoFlyZone31 you were too busy being a fan girl read the other option. Maximus hasn't earned anything, he didn't earn squire, his armor, hes unbelievably dumb when convenient, and he didn't kill the raider queen. He just dumb lucked his way through.
@@joeofcourse And? The Ghoul still exist as a non evil character, and Norm may not be strong but the dude’s intelligent enough to reveal everything about what their vault is. Shut.
Yeah there isn't any particularly very masculine guy on here, except the ghoul. He brings back the Western gunslinger vibes and he's at least cool like that bad guy in "The Good The Bad and The Ugly", you can't disagree with that. Lucys brother also isn't that bad. He is cowardly as he said, but he's not a nitwit. He at least has smarts and moral punction.
@@zonefreakman Man he's no less cowardly than anyone else in the vault, and he's the only one we know of that isn't from 31 to make it into 31 and learn the truth.
@@DVankeuren Everywhere in the promotional materials and also the actor calls him "The Ghoul". As if he lost his previous humanity after all he has experienced in the Wasteland. A bit like Anakin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader. Edit: Prime's X-ray when pausing the video also shows him as The Ghoul. Although I like to call him by his name of Cooper Howard to make things clearer.
Personally I did not find Maximus to be an empathetic character; rather, I thought he was extremely unlikable and selfish. He was a complete asshole to his squire, and he caused hundreds of deaths at the observatory camp only to find Lucy. Also his voice sounded exactly like Videogamedunkey, who I love, but that's just me nitpicking. Hopefully the writers let his character learn and grow in season 2, the actor deserves better.
I think this is going to be a Ghostbusters: Afterlife situation. A lot of people liked that movie when it first came out simply because it wasn’t as bad as the slop we’ve been peddled for years. Upon subsequent viewings, you realize it wasn’t anywhere as good as you thought it was at first.
@@Blitterbug I watched it. Ask me any question about the show, and you’ll get an answer. It wasn’t good. Retconned things from lore, completely disregarded others. The three main characters are two Gary Stu’s and a Mary Sue. Never felt like they were in any danger throughout the season…in a Fallout show. When something did happen to them, the situation turned in their favor literally a couple minutes later, sometimes the very next scene. The idea of Vault-Tec dropping the first bombs is also nothing short of insane. If they’re all about money, how will you continue to make money with 99.9% of your paying customers dead, and the world being a hell scape?
First episode impression is that it succeeds in entertaining me. So far the world is interesting and well presented. The DEI stuff especially within the Brotherhood of Steel throws me off, though. My rational mind refuses to believe this hardcore military would select the weakest individuals in boot camp to be the squires who main job is to lift heavy parts. Lucy is charming and well written. I like her.
I hope you and Mauler talk about this on the next Open Bar because he seemed much less positive on it, and you got people like Arch and (I think) Dev who are very negative talking about how it utterly destroys the existing lore especially the pre-Bethesda lore. Also it's budget was $153million so I wouldn't call that "relatively small" for season 2 they're getting at least an extra $25million through a California tax credit.
Funny things about fallout series is that they make a movie to show the people that capitalism is bad . But the production by AMAZON one of the biggest capitalism company in USA , they sell movie bashing capilaism and take profit from thay movie . Thats capitalism 101 right there. IRONIC 😂

@@browneyeofsauron1244 I agree, as much as I want to like this show I feel like there were some missed opportunities to actually establish past events, for both the characters (except for Ghoul/Cobb) and the world. None of the factions have a drop of explanation as to what they are other than one or two offhand lines. I don't know why they bothered mentioning the scientist guy was Enclave previously and not just a Vault Dweller or something when VT gets a significant amount of lore established compared to everything else, and the Enclave is only mentioned by name. I know that future seasons will build more on these things obviously, but I can't imagine trying to watch this show as someone who didn't know anything about Fallout already. I would be so lost. Also, there are plot points that go absolutely nowhere, like the water chip in 33 being destroyed. It's brought up as something to be very concerned about and then everyone seems to forget about it.
@@4doorsmoresmores694 on the water chip, Betty is from before the bombs fell. The Vault Tech employees probably know where all the bits to repair things like that are stored. They did say their plan was to just outlive everyone. Contingencies like that would make sense. I was hoping to see how coop became a ghoul. But there's always room for more with a season 2, let's just hope it doesn't go the way of the Mandalorian.
@@sarahuher8358 "they probably know how to deal with it" ok if you're not going to show them dealing with it then maybe at least have someone like Betty say they can fix it?? I agree that solution makes sense but it isn't addressed at all, which makes it seem like the writers just kinda forgot about it
Well fallout 4 did have some forest areas in it if you remember. Also in new Vegas you can find Harold (A ghoul from 1/3 with a plant growing out of his head) in a small forest. One of the outcomes is to help him thrive as a now tree. In the end slide it tells you that his forest has expanded and there is actually green plants. Another one would also be in NV, it was the outside of one of the vaults. The one doing plant experiments. The show takes place quite a few years after these games so its not too far fetched to imagine other places that have had plants come back. After all the location the show takes place until recently when lucy's dad nuked shady sands had been relatively conflict free as it was controlled by the NCR.
Finally a show that was fun to watch. I did find a lot imo of hidden agendas written into it, a cabal wet dreamer helped write some of this. Overall 5 outa 5. Nuclear holocaust, frozen cabal members in their own bunker, cold fusion and some other subtle lines that were dropped. Also non gamer and I enjoyed it. Do the new Kong move with Godzilla. It was atrociously bad.
Is he or is the subject matter he thrives in too much for most pedestrian viewers? He’s rated extremely accurately. He’s supposed to be unsettling. Trying to get mass appeal for the hateful 8 or vice principals is a fools errand 😂 let him be who he his. Juaquin Phoenix had comic relief movies like signs to get him mass appeal. Whereas goggins is type cast as a southern guy every time hes cast because that’s his voice 😂 and for some reason white liberals love to hate on southern white people through media because it absolves them of their self induced guilt in their minds
I don't think he's underrated at all. Virtually every critic, actor, and film fan know who he is and say he's great. I've never heard anyone undervalue or pass him over when discussing any project he's worked on.
The most unrealistic part of this show was Lucy not immediately filling her backpack with 450lb of random debris from the first bombed out house she went in. Then she should have said “ oh, I am over encumbered and cannot run!”
Obviously, Lucy used the player.setav carry weight console commands!
The most unrealistic part of this show is that how not all women have colossal boobas. Did the creators not hear about the Caliente's Beautiful Bodies mod??
And then falloutseries.exe crashes cause you tried adding the big tiddie mods after 5 hours of trouble shooting to get the base series to start up issue free to begin with ofc.
At least she slowly upgraded her weapons but never started with a spear
No, no, just desk fans and typewriters. Just 450lbs of desk fans and typewriters.

He was phenomenal as Boyd Crowder. One of the most enjoyable performances of a character I've ever witnessed.

It's a shame Drinker didn't mention Norm. As a character, Norm was a pleasant surprise. He is obviously small in stature, and appears cowardly on the surface, but Norm was seeing things clearly, and wasn't brainwashed like the other Vault dwellers.
He's played excellently by Moisés Arias, who I didn't really know as an actor before. I'm hoping to see even bigger and better things from him in season 2.
Norm and Chet are destined to grow. I loved the exchange when Norm called him a coward and Chet responded by telling him they were all cowards who lived in a vault. It seemed to hit home for Norm.
Looking forward to S2.
The Ghoul ripping on side quests by saying "thou shall always get distracted by other bullshit" or something like that made me chuckle.
Me too, that line was gold :D
Could have called out Preston by name with that one.
Source material has been well represented in this series. It made the show a lot to me, as a fan of the videogame series. I think they did a really good job on this one.
@thechicagobox I haven't played the games in years but I was massively into 3/ new Vegas and a little bit for 4. I was like a kid again watching it, they nailed the atmosphere, costumes, setting.. music. It was really good fun.
imagine if it was a game mechanism to forget about quests, I mean yes you take a letter from someone to someone and you end up 2 months later in a vault doing that quest line and you do not even remember to who you have to deliver the message... I would like to see something like that ingame...
I like how Lucy is a Bethesda Fallout protagonist while the Ghoul is playing New Vegas
Perfectly put. I want more Fallout 1&2 and less of this...whatever it is. The Ghoul is like 99% of the reason I like the show.

Why did the brotherhood of steel promote the 3 weakest nerdiest unmilitaristic people I’ve ever seen.
They cheked all the boxes.
Because the BOS has lost it's way.
Yeah they acted nothing like the Brotherhood in the games. You need to accomplish a LOT before you are given power armor.
It's definitely not 'the message' or else drinker would have pointed it out, right?
That was the point. The Brotherhood had lost its way. The elder says this towards the end of the show
love how lucy described the brotherhood. something like "so you search for pre war tech with pre war tech so no one can use pre war tech?"
lol thats literally like the governments in real life
You just listed why I can't stand the Brotherhood of Steel. Total power-mad hypocrites pretending their protecting others by keeping tech for themselves.

dude it's 200 years after the bombs fell, there are gonna be some trees
Yep, whenever I start another fallout 4 game, I have to add trees mod loll
There are trees but it’s California 😂 damn desert as it is now in many spots
Trees exist because in Fallout 2 a GECK is used to restore a massive area near the locations the show takes place & it’s been roughly 55 years. So yes in that specific location/area there can be a forest.
@@AnarchyThirtySeven pretty sure that if trees didnt exist elsewhere there would be no life on the surface, and also we dont have enough nukes to destroy all of the flora on the planet
Fallout 1 was BARREN. The kind of dead an lifeless that makes you wonder "But what do they eat??!?!?"
Fallout 1 & 2 will always be the best/original. Bethesda screws everything up.
The thing that shocked me the most about this production is that Amazon allowed a straight white man to be a sympathetic character. They spent 6 episodes telling you, "Cooper is a monster." and then rug pulled you in the last episode to reveal that his diverse wife was actually the monstrous one.
Even Lucy's father was just a mid-level manager when the Great War happened and was the continuation of plans set in motion by other people long ago. His treachery is revealed rather late in the season.
You nailed my thoughts exactly
The black female Overseer ain't exactly a good guy either. Good on the writers to be colorblind in portraying the evil heart of man (and woman). I also liked that the writers didn't make anything specifically about race. They just wrote good characters and diversely cast good actors to play them. This series has many lessons to teach Hollywood right now, especially Disney.
@@ThePoorBoy The wife of Cooper ain't exactly a good guy either, proposing to end the world and kill everybody and all that. Also Moldaver got a bunch of innocent people savagely killed.
Ella Purnell is good actor but Walton Goggins really is killing it out there. He's basically only played in good shows and movies for a while now, his acting has become something truly special.
Not saying he's not a good actor but I don't think an actor is good or bad just because they're in a bad movie or series. Purnell was in Yellowjackets and was Jinx in Arcane both of which are good shows. I know she was in that crap Synder zombie movie before that but I think the reason that was bad is more down to Snyder than her.
@@kityhawk2000 But it helps massively because he's more scrutinized in those projects and also surrounds himself with better actors, directors, producers and any other staff that can help his craft. It also speaks massively about his ability because these people want to work with him and he is also picking good projects.
You can look through Walton's works and see his range develop after he was just a cop/western show specialist for a long time.
Everything I've seen him in I've liked, he was brilliant in The Shield and Justified and was excellent in this as both sides of his character.
He was hilarious as a trans prostitute on Sons of Anarchy
Everyone only ever brings up Justified, The Shield, or Hateful 8 when talking about Goggins. More people need to seriously watch Vice Principals. One of the greatest comedy series ever made.
"It's easier to track a stuck pig than to ask it where it's going"
The Ghoul had some of the greatest lines and Goggins was great in the role
"Thou shalt get sidetracked by random bullshit." Absolutely loved this line. He killed the delivery in every single one of them.
He was a bit like the Man in Black from Westworld but far more likeable
“I do this shit for the love of the game”
That line gave me radioactive goosebumps
Tbf, Goggins is great in everything he's in usually.
I find it hypocritical that one of the richest companies on earth, run by one of the richest humans ever, put out an anti capitalist show directed by a dude worth 70 million.
It's almost as if it was more about "the message"
Is it anti-capitalist? I never really got that feel about it.
@@mrmhj9925 it is. It’s a critique of how capitalism always screws over the common person and eventually collapses because of greed.
Have you been living under a rock for the last few decades? They have been doing this forever. The most famous bands make songs "against the mainstream". White men produce anti-white misandrist movies and video games. The feminist movement was started by men. BLM movement was started by non blacks. Diversion.
@@fredericklockard3854 I see it more as what happens when capitalism collapses: a few greedy people come together and inevitably screw over the common person and society as a whole. Communism - with its politburo - was great for that.

The doctor was in the show on like 4 separate occasions I started noticing him on the 2nd watch through.
I have to say that the scene at the start of ep1 when the girl says "my thumb or yours?" And the absolute terror of the scene, how inevitable the end of life felt, that shook me from the start.
I was watching with my son and we both said that we got the chills.
I love the fact that the show doesn't shy away from videogame logic of Fallout like how stimpaks just heals people or animals instantly, or Filly NPCs going back to normal routine after the gunfight.
Yeah, it reminded me of being in a shootout with Malcolm Latimer’s men in Diamond City and yet everyone else is minding their own business while bullets and lasers are flying.
"The Wasteland has it's own golden rule: Thou shalt get side tracked by bullshit every time." So true to format.

One thing about the Wasteland being too green, it makes sense that after a two centuries life would begin to grow back in areas not directly impacted by the nuclear bombs.
Chernobyl is like this. One of the most radioactive places on the planet and its overgrown with plants, and animals.
Generally, just the lack of sunshine will keep the green away.
They also just said that the wolves especially and assuming other animals and plants have adapted to the radiation and its a part of them now. That should be something very interesting to study how life found its way to do that.
Yes very true.
People just want to find uneducated reasons to hate something that is mostly great.
@@frenchyroastify but it's been over 200 years. More than enough time for that sky to clear up. 🙃
The thing is with Chernobyl, the Russians added measures to prevent most of the loose contamination from spreading, the most important feature being the shelter structure (only after trying to cover up the incident). A lot of people died doing so, unknowingly working to their deaths. Now we have a more permanent enclosure called the "Safe Confinement," which was somewhat recently finished.
I would probably attribute this more closely to the bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki, where the concentration of ionizing radiation isn't even close to being as high as the mass currently still active in Chernobyl. As a matter of fact, most of the ionizing radiation from the bombs decayed within a week of time. It's just a lot of mis-information spread about how radioactivity actually works... since A LOT of people still don't understand it. Both cities were rebuilt, and people are living in them, despite the mainstream populace thinking otherwise (at least here in America).
As someone who barely knew anything about Fallout, watching this with my dad who didn’t even know of Fallout’s existence, we both enjoyed this show a lot more than we thought. We personally didn’t find the world-building to be too overwhelming and “video game-like.”
That should probably be a lesson every adaptation of video games should take from in the future, if you can make it something fantastic without people relying on having played the games before, then you've done something right.
Yea you enjoyed it because you dont know the game, youre whats known as a "normie" viewer. If you were a loyal fan of the series then you'd probably have a different take on it.

in the Fallout universe the war was inevitable in the year 2077, but as I know, it was never really clear who started it first. according to F4 the president was weeks before the war evacuated to the Poseidon oil rig (the enclave) from F2 and it is mentioned something about a "shadow government".

They are just all the worst impulses of mankind wrapped up in one backwards tribe.

That’s what made me wary of the show in the first place. “What happened- people wanted to save the world but disagreed on how” it gave me a red flag because throughout the games that wasn’t the message. All of the factions are flawed, some more so than others. A majority of them didn’t want to save the world but to gain power and control. Rule things the way they thought it should be ruled and it didn’t matter what they needed to do to get it. Kind of thing. Some characters believed their faction was for one thing, but others were using their faction for another thing. It was complicated.

Walton Goggins is excellent in Fallout. I've been a fan ever since he was in The Shield. The series Justified, too.
I loved following the characters of Lucy and the Ghoul. Walton Goggins is in all his glory in this role. But I couldn't get behind the character of Maximus. He made stupid decisions constantly and he always had the dumbest look on his face. I think the actor is capable of more than they gave him.
Pretty sure the massive equipment bags that the Brotherhood squires lug around with them are a nod to all the times we got over encumbered carrying junk in the games 🤣
Its a great reference to using companions as walking inventory in the games.
Ella stated that she played the games to get an idea for the role and to respect the source material. That's a welcome change.
And Goggin said he specifically avoided playing the games so he wouldn't be distracted from the script.
Each approach seemed to work for them.
Actors say what they believe is appropriate. Rachel Zegler first said that she gives a sh*t about the orignial
Snow White material, only to row back after the backlash to tell how lovely und influencing the 30s-Version was.
Dakota Johnson said that she liked the recent Spiderman movies, but didnt know a single title of the last films
Tom Holland played in. But its nice to see an actress even know what the game`s name is the show is based on.

Yea well the show itself doesn’t care about the lore of the games
@@givenchymamajama3859 You should probably watch the show first.
I never played the Fallout games, but I was entertained by this show.
Honestly, as someone who has never played a fallout game and had little to no context prior to watching the show, I really liked the world building.
I could pretty easily keep track of how things are and why things are and anything that I'd like explained more will likely crop up later nice and casual like. Far better than an obnoxious paragraph of exposition like the writers are terrified I won't be able to pay attention long enough to get invested 😄
Can't wait for the next season!
I loved how the series didn't crash and didn't show any bugs, Todd Howard really polished the engine this time
Ive seen plenty of bugs, they were huge!
As if turd howard invented fallout. Bethesda fallout is shit.
I honestly hope they sneak in some kind of weird screen glitch or something in the next season. No explanation either, just a cheeky nod to those of us in the know.
Maximus kind of glitched through the floor in his first fight in the armour ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

what i also liked about lucy is that she is not magically skilled. in the opening scenes she explaines her education and training during her growing up in the vault. She does not magically know how to fight, shes been training to do so in her growing up in the vault. Instead of Rey in SW just magically knowing the force and lightsaber fighting without propper training.
Totally, or Rae knowing how to swim 5km in a storm even though she grew up on a desert planet.
This justification is hilarious and interesting in such a meta way because she basically describes her starting stats & skills. 😂
This, and all her proficiency in combat is MAJORLY capped by her naivity coming from growing up in a 100% peaceful and sterile environment.
She knows how to fight, but absolutely not when and who to fight or trust, which she doesn't just overcome in a single, mind-changing "snap"-moment like so many shows do.
Actually decent character development being written in these times sure is a rarity by how much this amazes me.
@@S_O_O_Cher continued optimism, attitude, and willingness to keep going “okey dokey” to every situation remind me of Rudy. She’s not jaded yet, not sure if she will become so. And as in ‘Batman Begins’ “the will to act”.
In the begining it shows Lucy training juijitsu, but she never uses it when in hand to hand conflict
Also Maximus looks like he’s about to cry in every single scene he’s in..
My brother walked back into the room and asked “oh, who hurt his feelings now??”
And I had to tell him that’s his happy and accomplished face.
They need brainwashing to make blacks more appealing for white women.
But Maxmus is barely a servant. Pretty understandable really.
He was by far the worst part of this show. Ella as Lucy I thought carried the show tbh. Goggins was fantastic as always. The BoS characters were all awful except that funny squire.
He's got a 7yr olds brain
they do it to make blecks more appealing for whyte females...
Father Elijah and Mr. House in Season 2? Hell fucking yes
Mr. House can be alive, depending on which ending of Fallout NV is chosen as canonical.
Elijah is almost certainly dead, since the ending where he "wins" would ruin the show.
a lore reason as to why things are so green in a bombed out wasteland. the show takes place over 200 years after the great war and in the time since that many vaults opened up. some vaults were equipped with a G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit), a device capable of terraforming.
Did anyone else notice that side character encounters were shot just like video game cut scenes? Often rambling monologs as you walk away, etc. Brilliant!
That was a nice touch!

Fun fact: this is the third product in the Fallout IP to have a story revolving finding a parent or child.
Fallout 3: Go find your dad.
Fallout 4: Go find your son.
Fallout TV: Go find your dad.
If we keep this up Fallout 6 will have us going to find our daughter, father, grandmother, and maybe even cousin Eddie.
Would be nice to see a perspective of someone born post-war who wasn't born from within a vault. Like a raider or settler in exile.

@@TheHamgamer fallout 2/NV/tactics
All of the games had a big surge in interest after the show was released. I recommend Fallout 4 if you want a digestible introduction to the world and relatively modern graphics. New Vegas if you want to dive into a deep and dark storylines, and Fallout 3 if you want a good mix and don't mind aging graphics.
I didnt like maximus as a character, but loved the rest. Great show, hopefully season 2 will keep it up and not end like westworld
There are forests in Fallout they just tend to be rare and/or super dangerous and odd.
and then there's Fallout 76 with LOTS of forest regions
Or have a "talking tree" aka poor sap that was infected with the FEV..

They used the excuse that that area was not bombed in the war .
Which is completely unbelievable since a survival bunker for the government is located under a hotel and the Chinese who knew about the silos and the bunker just said that’s ok we will let it go
Shut up, Herbert...
In two hundred+ years, forests would definitely regrow and start retaking areas. The big thing is if the land is usable; there are sites that have had nuclear events happen that have regrown plant-life within our lifetimes.
The real thing that would stop plant regrowth is if the land is barren and dead, or filled with concrete and rubble. Any area currently able to house a forest would be able to regrow it.
Raul Julia deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of M Bison. It seemed he never acted. He lived that role. While he was dying of cancer. Just to make his kids happy. Legend.
The man was determined not to fade away, but burn up like a damned solar flare!
Your taste is limited totally to your oral orifice.
The best part is that he said that he the most fun playing that role because the director allowed him to fully unleash.
I learned he actually had whole family with him by his side the whole time while he was filming. 😊
Also this show illustrates why we hate Rey because in Fallout they did such a great job with Goosey compared to how terrible Star Wars did with Rey.
I haven’t played Fallout since Fallout 3, but I loved this show.
The good parts make you forgive the flaws unless you’re looking for them to give a critique.
Drinker, this is ghostbusters all over again for you.
I loved Cooper's dig at the Fallout series. "We have a golden rule here in the wasteland. You always get sidetracked by all the bullshit."
Someone pointed out that the show appears to go out of its way to crap on New Vegas in some shots.
@@AdderTude Yeah, I think that was inevitable. Howard's a bit salty over New Vegas' success, and since it's a Bethesda backed production it was expected.

Surprised there was no mention of the fact the whole thing was basically an homage to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, with some scenes ripped right out of that movie like the scene where the guy comes home and the Ghoul is just sitting there eating dinner.
Yeah that was one of the better homages I've seen recently.

I think they made a perfect balance of Lucy being capable yet naive. They show that she has some experience learning shooting and martial arts in the vault, so she's not like completely helpless. As soon as she reaches the surface though, they show us that there are lot of savage badasses out there that can absolutely get the best of her.
*Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.*
Maybe they shouldn't have said that...
Epic reference
Welp, NCR ain’t doing much patrolling in this continuity
Godspeed to NCR Trooper
Patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a poc protagonist who kills anyone for offending him and is portrayed as the good guy and then for current audience of course gets the strong whyte punani. Show is good aside from the heavy woke brainwashing and portraying the poc quota psychopath killer as the morally good guy because he was bullied once (of course) by whyte guys. All the woke brainwashing. There is even a transsquire with a painted on italian moustache in episode 1
What I like the most is indeed this character development. Lucy gradually becoming more hard, the Ghoul becoming slightly softer after his meeting with Lucy, Maximus trying to do the right thing but also being kinda selfish, the random jerks of the wasteland that live up to the typical game NPCs. Yes, I liked this show terrifically
I love that Maximus isn't just a "nice guy treated badly" but had a real dark side to him, acting selfishly to the point of killing people in the pursuit of what he wanted.
Uh I believe her name is Goosey, Cyril Figgis said so.
@@bivyb6249of course, idk how he could forget this. It did CLEARLY say that after all.
The way sex and relationships are treated as something just functional in the vaults was something I tought was amazing. And then you have Maximus who basically don't understand the notion of sex at all. Shows how the writers understood the world and how many usual societal concepts would change in a falloutesque scenario.
I only played fallout 1/2 and new vegas, not sure if the sex and reproduction topic came up in 3 or 4.
Goosey is a psychopath though.
Only way to explain her being able to not brake more often
Aside from the minor universe faux pas here and there, I enjoyed it. The main continuity flaw I really couldn't get past was how the villain lady presented herself as the leader of a bloodthirsty gang of raiders, who were quite content to murder the innocent vault dwellers in cold blood, and she herself threatening to blow up wounded survivors. But then suddenly in the finale, it's all 'oh no I'm actually just an eco warrior and your dad is the real bad guy. I was only PRETENDING to murder swathes of innocent people, capture my arch nemesis knowing that this will somehow cause his daughter to bring me the precious mcguffin via a series of fortunate and unfortunate events. Lazy writing if you ask me
The directing in this show is pretty bad. Especially the action scenes. But the director looks like he's never directed an action scene in his life. Especially the scene where the scientist guy is trying to escape the Enclave and he runs 10 feet from the auto turret and the turret completely misses him while he casually jogs past it lol.
i agree, i don't know what people are smoking, this seems like another force awakens moment where people eat up a shallow and contrived production and are ignorant of some glaring flaws
Walton Goggins as Ghoul completely sold me on this show. His performance is fucking stellar.
So is his performance as the goofy innocent 50's cowboy movie actor. The development from cowboy to ghoul was an amazing contrast.

The main actresses eyes are so large they look like cgi.
Modded character creation do be like that.
Yeah, like they are mutated.
They look 30% bigger because they bulge out of her head that far lolol
i clicked "random" once in the character creation menu
I legit thought they were.
2:25 The bulk of the survivors do not, in fact, live in vaults 200 years after the bombs. Nor were the vault dwellers _ever_ the bulk of the survivors.
Yeah. Drinker is not a true believer. Take him to the nearest compost room. How dare he disrespect my Fallout canon!
It shows how he has no knowlege of F1 and 2.
Pretty sure the drinker was presenting a spoiler-free summary of the plot.
The revelation that civilization survived the bombs, and that the vault dwellers' entire existence has been a lie, isn't revealed to the protagonist until towards the end of the season.
@@txdmsk i mean drinker is the target audience. Someone who knows what fallout is generally, but doesn’t care that much, besides shit looking cool. That’s like saying that halo is a great show, because John halo is cool guy, and guns are awesome. There is supposed to be more to halo, than just superficial iconography.
It seems like they were the bulk of the survivors right after the bombs fell. Mostly because larger factions and raider groups originated from the vaults. But that's just what I gathered.
You know Drinker, I have come back because I noticed, you omitting a LOT of relevant information. Or are you just so desensitized that you cannot see it anymore? Like the Ghoul was a man who just gave into the wise Communist woman of color like a good submissive man, despite you know "Better dead than Red" sentiment of the fallout universe. And of course the Communism isnt bad BS you always see. Oh and that CAPITALISTS were the one who wanted to start a nuclear war... for profit somehow? You also seem to forget that the only thing that tipped off the heroine was the fact all the raiders were fatally irradiated when scanned by a pipboy, and just, nobody bothered to check them for that in a society paranoid about that sort of thing.
Also seem to forget that the main heroine can fence, shoot bullseyes, is a teacher, a plumber, a scientist and the daughter of the vault leader. Now one could SEE that as a Mary Sue who has tons of abilities and is impossibly good at almost everything, like Rey Palpatine. Yet you say "Nah it'll be fine." So when raiders murder most of the Vault and take them hostage, but not before a stunning and brave pregnant woman with a fork in her eye is mowing them down with a machine gun while the men get killed in less spectacular ways; they keep them as slaves. But then they revolt, take back control and decide to let these people who murdered most of them and potentially the vault they took the uniforms from, they say "Nah, it'll be fine. Lets just rehabilitate them."
You also seem to forget to mention that the black diversity hero is a petty, selfish, murdering, beta male whose best friend in this surface society is a stunning and brave trans person who got a promotion over him and is glad (his best friend) had a blade in her shoe. Or that Heroine girl has to save him when the writers put him in a powerless suit with no way to get out, but she is tracking the head, which isnt there, but it leads her in the opposite direction the guy who took the head and sealed him into the suit went, so, the plot puts her here to save him.
Or how about the vault full of mutants that are cannibals', where the power suit that was miles away and powerless is taken for plot convenience later. We see the scientists there being crazy and murdery and after they take his queen he steals a power core for his armor and goes to save her, but she does not need to be saved because they are releasing them, but he has to give his balls back to- I mean his power core he stole back to cannibalistic mutant vault dwellers. Or how he admits to heroine he was lying and using her and she is just like "It'll be fine." and nothing changes. And then later he lies to the brotherhood and is about to be executed, but his trans friend is the one that makes them not kill him for some reason because, progressive? But then admits she put the blade in her shoe to frame him?
You also failed to mention the MASSIVE retconning with history and lore in the fallout universe in ways that spit in the face of fans, much like with Starwars. Or how the vault dwellers are just the genetic progeny of all the evil rich capitalists to guarantee them to be the best, despite being honestly the worst and dumbest. Yes the people who wanted to bring the murderous raiders who enslaved and killed them, they wanted to rehabilitate them and then get murdered in their sleep by them. Or how somehow making a nuclear war was a perfect idea to make the most profit or something. Or how the woman of color basically was the perfect genius who managed to survive hundreds of years, cares about people and invented cold fusion, but men "Took the credit of a woman" and apparently cares about the heroine and her brother, yet almost gets them killed in her raid, making them go across the irradiated hellscape or threatens to kill them on a few occasions. Or how 1 Ghoul manages to take out tons of power armor soldiers in a way that is "Super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Im calling you out Drinker. You seem to swallow "The message" without any effort this show around. Are you unable to see it anymore because you have become desensitized? Or are you gonna reject a woke-a-cola, but a diet woke-a-cola is low enough in progressive calories that its tolerable? Or maybe, with your new movie prospects and getting into the industry you are watering your opinions down here and there so you don't make to big a wave to rock the boat? Really makes you think.
Because now that I have seen more of this show, I find it impossible that you would miss THIS MUCH and give it a good ol "Go watch it" rating despite criticizing lesser known series for far less.

When something did happen to them, the situation turned in their favor literally a couple minutes later, sometimes the very next scene.

@@browneyeofsauron1244 I agree, as much as I want to like this show I feel like there were some missed opportunities to actually establish past events, for both the characters (except for Ghoul/Cobb) and the world. None of the factions have a drop of explanation as to what they are other than one or two offhand lines. I don't know why they bothered mentioning the scientist guy was Enclave previously and not just a Vault Dweller or something when VT gets a significant amount of lore established compared to everything else, and the Enclave is only mentioned by name. I know that future seasons will build more on these things obviously, but I can't imagine trying to watch this show as someone who didn't know anything about Fallout already. I would be so lost.
Also, there are plot points that go absolutely nowhere, like the water chip in 33 being destroyed. It's brought up as something to be very concerned about and then everyone seems to forget about it.
@@4doorsmoresmores694 on the water chip, Betty is from before the bombs fell. The Vault Tech employees probably know where all the bits to repair things like that are stored.

Well fallout 4 did have some forest areas in it if you remember. Also in new Vegas you can find Harold (A ghoul from 1/3 with a plant growing out of his head) in a small forest. One of the outcomes is to help him thrive as a now tree. In the end slide it tells you that his forest has expanded and there is actually green plants. Another one would also be in NV, it was the outside of one of the vaults. The one doing plant experiments. The show takes place quite a few years after these games so its not too far fetched to imagine other places that have had plants come back. After all the location the show takes place until recently when lucy's dad nuked shady sands had been relatively conflict free as it was controlled by the NCR.
Harold/bob is in 3.
Finally a show that was fun to watch. I did find a lot imo of hidden agendas written into it, a cabal wet dreamer helped write some of this. Overall 5 outa 5. Nuclear holocaust, frozen cabal members in their own bunker, cold fusion and some other subtle lines that were dropped. Also non gamer and I enjoyed it.
