Gonna be honest, I feel like fallout as a setting just isn't for you with things like not liking the old timey music, or violence and tropes, and fallout has always taken lots from westerns and other media, so calling it derivative is just... another sign the setting isn't for you in general.
All the other joke characters you claim were out of place are entirely consistent with the games too.
The lats of us is definitely top of my list as far as game adaptations go. But I thoroughly enjoyed this show as well. I had very few issues with it. I felt some things happened unnecessarily, and Max wasn't my favorite, but he's tolerable, and it didn't take away from the show. I'd say 8.5/10 would watch again.
What frightens me more is that this is hyping people for a Fallout 5. It's like they reset their brains to how incompetent of a developer Bethesda is.
i watched the show before starting the fallout game series, and i used the old show "blood drive" as a kind of refrence to what kind of show they tried going for, and the comedy dident hit like that show does, also the way that naivety or the outright stupidy of some of the characters imo just does more harm than good to the story imo. it looks great ofc, and norm, as well as goggins story line's are actually compelling, but i cant help but to feel that people overhype bare-minimum a little to much simply bc "Video game on TV now"
You simply do not understand fallout which is fine
Let's be honest.
Lucy's background.....bad dad has been played to death.
The F in communism stands for Food.
The real consequence of capitalism in the show is the apocalypse itself.
It would have been nice to see more of the consequences pre-apocalypse. Moldaver could have given some voice to that, but they decided to make her apolitical.
I don’t understand your viewing of this series. You sound like you go by they/them, and yet you don’t play Fallout, especially Fallout New Vegas? Like come on! This is like being Italian and not liking pasta, or Irish and not an alcoholic. Fallout New Vegas is your culture.
All jokes aside, not every form of media needs to be class conscious 24/7. The bit that was there was nice, especially for Amazon! Rings of Power wasn’t out there making pro union or pro worker propaganda out there either. Also in the Fallout show Muldover brought power back to the wasteland. That’s a huge win for the poor in the Wasteland. Water treatment facilities might kick back on, street lights so people don’t get mugged at night as much, machines that make food or materials could come back online, what I am getting at it is huge what she and the other NCR survivors accomplished. I think a huge disconnect for me was the raiders in vault 33 and how they were handled. Like are they raiders or are they NCR survivors turned evil? She has NCR Rangers in the final fight why couldn’t they come with her to the Vault raid instead of the savage raiders? And them being killed when it could have been more interesting if they were NCR that just wanting a better life and hurting the vault was the only way, instead of them being blood thirsty raiders who needed to be put down like the animals they were (that’s how the show portrayed them I wasn’t advocating it). All in all, best advice stop trying to make everything about material conditions and class struggle in a video game show, and just mellow out and enjoy the show for what it is and not what you want/demand it to cover or do.
As a show that constantly references the real world (the red scare, corporate power, etc.), I think it's more than fair to be critical of its commentary. As you point out Moldaver's faction was underdeveloped.
Telling a viewer to chill out and enjoy the ride is reductive. I'm not telling anyone to stop having fun. I had some fun with the show, too, but it doesn't mean we can't be critical of it or voice our own personal perspective.

I have to tell you as much as I think both of these are mediocre at best you lost your argument with me when you tried to hold the last of us up as something that should be repeated any more than a show like Willow should be
