im poor, i can wait
The planet has been cooling for over two decades now after brief warm up period. Our government was sued by bunch of scientists over lying about supposed global warming and lost. That’s why now they call it climate change. Also, you see “racism” everywhere which is quite disturbing. Just because you are suspect or cautious or resentful of a particular group of people based on your experiences with that group, does not make you a racist. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with being a racist. It simply means that you think your race is superior to others. What is wrong with that??? Some people think Yankees are superior to White Sox and vice versa. Who gives a damn? “Supremacism” on the other hand is a desire to exterminate everyone who is different than you.
I'm waiting for an extended cut of your sandman cover on Spotify and apple music!!!! lol
Did Marketa dip from Fallout reactions completely, or just this episode? :(
You guys WILD when the women are away
😭😭😭😭😭
Uranium buttplugs LMAO!!
Just boys being boys ❤
Boys will be boys.
As bad as Vault 4 is, I wouldn’t even put it in the top 10 of messed up Vaults.
Garyyyyyyy
GARRY! Garyeee. Gaaaarryyyyeeeee....
Also: Puppets.
Vault 22 comes to mind. Not because the experiment is messed up, I just really hate fighting the spore carriers
I'd say Vault 87 is probably the worst.
Vault 11 comes to mind.
The face Maximus makes and the tone in which he speaks when first meeting the overseer has me in tears every damn time I see it 🤣🤣🤣
20:55 So, I have an idea of where they could have gotten the caviar, but y'all aren't gonna like it...
I believe they clarified that the bomb was dropped after "the fall of Shady Sands." Kind of like "the fall of Rome" started as it began to fall, not the day it "fell." But we can guess the bomb was dropped (very roughly) 15-20 years ago because of how old Maximis is now.
That's more or less exactly what they said. Todd Howard stated that it was nuked just after the events of New Vegas. I'm sure we'll learn more details in the future.
"I'll drink some blood." That's the thing. You don't even have to. The natives do that cause one guy dipped out, saying it's "a bit much" for his taste. So you're even allowed to not join. This vaults mission has been finished. It's a complete vault, that's.. very well maintained.
So if you actually call the *REAL LIFE NUMBER* from the Vault add in the beginning you will get a terrifying yet hilarious peak behind the curtain of what Vault Tec is really about.🤣🤣🤣
Bruh… I’ve played the games and I knew but…… damn I wasnt expecting that when I heard it through my cars radio 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love your version of Mr. Sandman and your title screen was very cool 👏👏👏
When the girls are away the guys will play…
Just guys being dudes
A much needed laugh fr
Everyone: Just vibing
Mickey: "Actually"
Then Mickey predicting this perfect basically 32:07
The Ghoul being badass is legit. If you trained for something for 200 years you'd be a master too
Plus his mental state. Not even just highly trained, but living so long that you're desensitized to most sensations
Moreover, he was in the military before becoming an actor, so outside of the new weapons that came into existence after the war, he doesn't even need to train too much in actual fighting.
Abso-fucking-lutely nailed Mr sandman.
the normies barber shop quartet kinda slapped ngl 😂
you should really watch the 1975 Harlan Ellison adaptation 'A Boy and His Dog'.
people will tell you Fallout is inspired by Mad Max or The Warriors, but this movie is older than both and contains everything Fallout may've taken from either of those movies and so much more.
honestly, so much of the Fallout setting is straight up lifted from A Boy and His Dog that it's ridiculous people would argue, but that reference to Cooper's movie 'A Man and His Dog' is maybe the first official acknowledgment i've ever seen
the protagonist is so messed up in that movie lol
25:18 "Rulers, statesmen and peoples are primarily referred to the lessons of historical experience. But what experience and history teach is that nations and governments have never learned anything from history and have never acted in accordance with the lessons that could have been drawn from it." -Georg Hegel
We learn from history that we do not learn from history.
I think many who hated some plot beats don’t understand things cause they think people when given the chance always choose logical ideas. Like horror movies people scream why would you do blank. They don’t get that yes it loses resources to have max money with smaller population. But in proportion you’d still be richest and build world your way where your always on top from scratch. And build a society that you deem best. It’s all not good in reality but it’s a good villian motivation. Villians are supposed to have plausible goals not exactly right ones. People forgot that over time for some reason like people who think main characters having flaws are bad. Or woman mains must act like men to be considered strong when it’s not always true. Fallouts woman is strong and not a stereotypical male hero trope with a girl face model covering. Just my two cents.
@@nichescenesRational actor theory has been so bastardized and misapplied in contemporary political science it’s horrifying. People no longer understand how to properly apply it on any level, whether individual, institutional, or nation-state.
@@spiraljumper74 Interesting. Off topic but you got me ranting lol. It could be me, or others, or both lol. It's just that I see an influx of people watching series and getting into stuff...that weren't particularly interested in it that much growing up, so like normies say, it's new to them and most of the stuff we watched a long time ago they skipped somehow. lol. So I assume this is what happened to a lot of people. So a lot of the takes you learn to drop at a younger age when consuming media are fresh and thrown around on youtube as good criticism. After experiencing media for a while takes like calling out characters for not doing what you would do in all situations, calling a series trash writing for not doing what you think is best, etc. Sure there are times for that as well, but most of the time I'm scratching my head like, ok if we did it your way there wouldn't be a story...and most of the time their way is explained in the story if they give it time, as not a viable option but by then their dropping the show. The answer to this is make the series stop and address their potential criticisms but it becomes like that episode of community where the people in a horror film do all the correct things and address them to the audience in exposition.
@@nichescenes I was bringing up the political science context because I assumed one of the chief complaints you were addressing was the nuking of Shady Sands. A lot of people have made arguments, often raising rational actor theory incorrectly, regarding why Vault-Tec would not launch nukes either during the Great War or at Shady Sands. They assume that institutions and nation-states “acting rationally” makes sense within the confines of some “objective and universal understanding of logic,” which is often just a misconstrued version of the arguer’s own ethical/logical framework without them realizing it.
In fact, rational actor theory requires a near-holistic understanding of the unique incentive structures and contextual factors in any situation, and is entirely predicated on basing rational predictions on those unique factors. In the case of Vault-Tec’s actions pre-collapse, Vault-Tec’s incentive structure of investor returns in a hyper-capitalist paradigm encourages shockingly selfish and broadly destructive behavior (which Chris illustrates with his apt comparison to modern corporate climate attitudes). And the context they exist in is the near-certainty of complete atomic annihilation over the next few years whether they intervene to accelerate it or not, under such circumstances I can’t imagine such a broadly amoral institution taking anything off the table. Indeed, if you take into account Vault-Tex’s clear and ultimate end goal, which is complete social and economic *control* of whatever is left, everything pretty much falls neatly into place, it makes sense they’d want to control the end, and the new beginning, of the world.
I think the show is pretty airtight in terms of this stuff, honestly.
@@nichescenes my original comment was trying to give an answer to Chris rather than anything dealing specifically in the show. Human societies tend to repeat patterns in history. We really don't learn from history but at the same time humanity is almost locked into making similar decisions because of things like demographic issues and limited resources. As an example, the current birthrate demographics are such humanity is seeing the largest military buildup since the beginning of WWII. When there's a dramatic shift in birthrate demographics (both extremely high and extremely low), historically it tends to lead to significant war and conflict.
Ella Purnell, who played Lucy, played Jackie in Yellowjackets, where her character was also a young American who, while about to enter a happy new chapter in her life, was hit with a disaster that killed many people close to her, and was forced to adapt to an unfamiliar land full of stranger dangers...and possibly cannibalism. Also, she wore blue, yellow, and white at one point...and her given named ended in the "ee" sound.
28:35 ooooh a VR vault?! What a great idea. You could name the VR space something very comforting like Tranquility Lane 😂
i see what your up to and i approve
shame!
in the second episode, when Lucy's voice cracks while saying "she steals dads!" i thought she sounded a lot like Jinx. Guess that makes sense, it's the same voice
Clearly you’ve not met “Fisto” from New Vegas. 😆
some of the strongest parts of the show are absolutely the moldaver stuff and the cooper prenuke stuff.
Is Micky okay? Every reaction he is always yawning lmao
Ok, does anyone else think that we now need a Normie Acapella skit? That was honestly really good haha. Shouts out to the Gungan Thunder bringin' that BASS!
The start of this video is such a vibe 🤣
21:14 wow I can't believe Chris looked away
I'm not used to that xD
I think that the first few generations would be in the most danger of going crazy underground; the following generations wouldn't know the difference, the vault would be the only world they know, and they'd be adapted to living in close quarters.
Kind of like how today's kids just live with smartphones in their pocket, ready access to social media and *AI*, and don't think anything of it.
I feel like I get a pretty good read on how well-versed in ‘90s Sci-Fi films people are based on how they feel about Moldaver after they hear that conversation between her and Cooper in in the hallway of the meeting.
Chris & his vault-aversion, if the vaults are like these vaults I might be okay with it, but if you’ve checked out Douglas Rushkoff’s latest book, Survival Of The Richest: Escape Fantasies Of The Tech Billionaires, then you know the typical current-day bunker is more like the setting of Day Of The Dead (1985) than a Fallout vault, and in that case I absolutely agree.
I will say, when it comes to the “going outside” part, the rooms where they have their crops and celebrated the wedding might just be enough 🤷🏻♀️ To each their own tho.
Lastly, remember the First They Came poem by Pastor Niemöller starts where “they” first cane for the communists, then the socialists, and then the trade unionists, before coming for the jews and then the speaker. Why tho? The communists, socialists, trade unionists, [also anarchists,] were actively trying to stop the fascists, fighting brown shirts in the streets, [check out Mark Bray’s book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook-He goes into a lot of depth about the history of the antifascist movements from that time to the present, it’s a great primer on the subject.] The leftists of the era very much understood the situation and took action to fight against it, ideally before it started, a sentiment that leads to one of my favorite quotes, “Fascism is not to be debated m, it is to be destroyed,” from Buenaventura Durruti.
Point is, even then some people understood that certain paths were not inevitable and tried their best to get us to change course, (many of them died trying.) Fast-Forward to today where capitalist realism, ( “loosely defined as the predominant conception that capitalism is the only viable economic system, and thus there can be no imaginable alternative”- See Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism for more on that,) has taken root so deeply it’s hard not to think we’re heading down these same paths.
BTW, if y’all are interested in the nuclear element of the story, I do recommend the film Threads (1984;) the show Jericho (2006;) Alas, Babylon by Fat Frank (1959;) and Hiroshima by John Hersey (1946.)
🙏🏼☺️ Godspeed y’all.
0:22 that clean cut after HeY hEY AcTuallY... hmhum... Editor, THANK YOU
Fiduciary responsibility is definitely a huge point on the games. Especially as it comes to capitalism. Fallout in general is a huge critique of capitalistic culture, so its wild that people are accusing it of being woke like it hasnt always wonderfully been
Mr. Cyclops, how do you use the 3 seashells?
"Okey dokee" lmao
instant thumbs up just for the intro alone lol great job guys
We NEED a barbershop quartet style track from these 4.
Great to see the "Spirit" warrior from Rez Dogs again !
Brotherhood of Night's Watch lol
I loved the scene where the girl was pregnant by the fish because it shows were advancing into elderscrolls world where we wanna take advantage of the abilities other species have
With this and the I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire intro, imma need this to be an every video thing. Thanks.
And shoutout Suraj. If I could look just half as majestic as bro does with the long hair, that would be great.
Great reaction guys. The Fallout show has been amazing & I think it has exceeded expectations. We’ve been spoiled in 2024 so far: Dune 2, Shogun & now Fallout have all been great.
Anyway, At around @21:10 when Lucy is scoping out Level 12 in Vault 4 & discovers the science “experiments” & the my show the lady goving birth to baby gulpers you guys astutely stated something along the lines of:
“They’re scientists bro, they don’t ask why?”
“They’re trying to make something better but effin’ up.”
I think you guys nailed it on the head. I think they were trying to cross humans with other irradiated specimens - human or otherwise - to create a radiation resistant human. One of the scientists in one of the videos who was giving the monologue before he rightly concluded he was about to die argued that despite their failures & the dangers that there is still potential & that you should continue to give scientists unbridled power to experiment regardless of the morals, dangers, etc.
It’s basically meant to show how insane, corrupt, immoral, etc the scientists are & ostensibly continue to be. If you look at Fallout’s themes, it’s pretty scary & disturbing because it’s a critique of modern times. We see themes of government, corporate greed, abuses od power, immoral experimentation, etc. It’s downright scary to think or consider that the situations in Fallout aren’t that farfetched & possible…🫣😵😵💫😦🫤😬🫠
21:00 I've seen Goldfish popping off from ladies beaver in Thailand. I needed couple drinks after that...
"I can smell your thoughts" 😂
Hopefully they explain more next season, but my head canon is that Muldaver probably joined up with the Enclave 200 years ago and probably did Cryo. She probably woke up at some point, could have been around since Fallout 1. Just part of the enclave. Befriended the dude that’s just a head now and worked with him on her…project that Vault tech stole, but kept it secret from the Enclave. Eventually she Left, joined up with the NCR, and made a difference there until someone blew up Shady Sands. She could’ve been part of the NCR’s rise to power. Of course that doesn’t explain why it took until now for her special thing that was supposed to save the world now suddenly being used. Why not when the NCR was around? More questions. Damn good show.
If she left the Enclave they wouldve been coming after her, im guessing its something else.
Then again, she is a genius. Could’ve built her own cryo tube or some other means. Would be crazy if she’s got ties to Mr House or something.
@@Anubisblack thats more what im thinking, really the only explanation, she was clearly a brilliant successful scientist if she created cold fusion, so maybe she was able to get frozen through one of her companies that was bought by vault tec. Id dont think she had a personal bunker with a cryotube because(POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR NON GAMERS) from what we’ve seen of the personal home bunkers meant for one family(like the one the family goes into in ep1, is they were completely innefective because they either couldnt properly block radiation or they didnt have enough resources to last long enough, most of those bunkers in the games were filled with dead families. We dont really see much if any successful larger bunkers besides the vaults, i think there might have been 1 large non vault tec bunker in Fallout 4 or 76 but i think it was filled with feral ghouls and i dont remember the details.
Yeah, even that one in 3 where you had to get all the holotapes from the family members to open was full of Ghouls in the end. I guess the one dude that said screw It and walked into a mushroom cloud was the smart one.
Everything to do with Maldaver is really a big hole in this season, stuff's clearly written in the style of LOST to be mysterious and subversive of your expectations and at the end of it all we just got a bunch of seemingly contradictory and weird stuff that doesn't really make sense or seem to ultimately go anywhere.
Dawg we need Marketa, she has the best reactions to shocking moments
29:00 Seveneves shout-out!! One of my favorite books!
Loving the reactions! There was a Vault with a VR setup. Vault 112.
Shocker, it did not end well...
Chris dropped a hole bangger in that intro had me crumpin who even crumps anymore lmao 🤣
That point about mars is interesting. Cause the way its currently being talked about is doomed to failure. Without orbital infrastructure, there's no way it'll be sustainable. And no one is talking about that, we're only barely just now looking into asteroid mining, not even capture. But like, if we grabbed an icy body and brought it back to a lagrange point, that'd solve that whole water thing, *and* you'd have radiation shielding for ships built in orbit. Cause water's really good at that. There's already asteroids of some flavor floating out around the lagrange points.
Hah SevenEves is good stuff
That car is real. It’s called a Darin made by the Kaiser company yes rne health insurance company

they have willy in the anal hole
16:38 yes, it's a 1954 Kaiser Darrin 161. Hope you find one for sale.
Maximus (probably) got shot with the tooth he sold.
Nobody is living in a vault.
If COVID has taught us anything, is that humanity cannot handle isolation, half the people go absolutely bonkers after three days of not being able to bark orders at an employee.
What an awesome reaction! I absolutely love this show!
3:29 no instant recognition for my man matt berry? Not even recognizing his voice, from the robot that tried to kill lucy in a previous episode?
I guess they never watched the IT crowd or what we do in the shadows show, GET ON IT!
That remix made my day goshdang!
Really enjoyed the after watch discussion on this one!
That fish comment was wild! lmao
Lost it with the intro 😂. Thanks
That's intro song!
"Gaaaarry" "Gary?"
The Ghoul, will never be anything but Venus from sons of anarchy to me and I love it
Has anyone suggested Archer to The Normies? I think it would be a great show for this group to react to!
12:50
_slurp!_
+20 HP.
Mikey needs a nap 😁
10:34 i said that myself until i saw my adventure with superman
Lucy is the Ghoul's greatgreatgreatgreat grand daughter.
Explain your theory, I'll like to know why
Vault Mommy will take care of us ☺
"What do they use it for??" Oh so they have never met Fisto... 😅
0:03 Have you seen the DC adjacent Sandman show btw?
Its called MR.HANDY, what do you think its first purpose was!
so when do we get the mr sandman normies remix?
"Tell him what you saw! People don't be telling people shit in this show." ... Suraj, as a fellow Lost obsessive ... I dunno man, I don't feel like Fallout even moves the needle on this topic by comparison. 😆
"Those are hard to come by". And thanks to a recent update patch, they don't last as long.
About to load up a game of New Vegas, can't help it!
That intro got me 🤣
Will they make an official cover of mr sandman
i love how mr sandman turned into mr trapman🤣🤣
i couldnt stop hearing in my head “r-r-r-reeeeeeiiiiixxxxx”
also 1:57 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣
15:08 Is it Lucy's finger?
Yes
LOVE THE ACAPELLA!
Why was I dancing the first 30 seconds to Sandman lol😊
Great reaction but I missed Marketa :)
Just to clarify, the bomb on Shady Sands had to drop a little later than 2277 as Fallout: New Vegas takes places in 2281 and Shady Sands is mentioned several times in that game as the capital and no mention of bombing. The date on the chalkboard either reference something else causing the "fall" (maybe the 1st battle of Hoover Dam, which NCR won, but barely and costly or election of Kimball as president of NCR) or is simply a production mistake (which would be bummer as everything else in this show has a lot of attention to detail).
Todd Howard himself clarified in the interview for IGN that the bombs fell on Shady Sands just after events of New Vegas
Favorite intro yet.
You guys are Baz Luhrmann with that Mr. Sandman intro, updating old songs for a new audience! 😂😅
0:21-0:25 AAAAAYE Suraj frickin HIT that 😆
this show is so fuckin good
Is that Jackie Daytona ?
Awesome reaction of my favorite Fallout episode!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Where's Marketa ?
Where's the lil white lady?
All your vault boys and girls should be the same height and have the same build in your title screen intro 💯
Other than that tiny nitpick, it’s pretty awesome.
"Bat!"
came for 5:46🤣😂18:27
So New Vegas happens in the year 2281 but here it says the fall of the NCR was in 2277. Did i miss something in the lore? if it's explained in the show just say i will learn later but if it was explained somewhere else can you let me know
The bomb exploded right after new Vegas. Fall doesn’t mean that it was bombed.
@@jm329 the lonesome road dlc?
Im confused I thought you said all were on patreon, I can only find six?
Now since yall singing
I want where on the world is Carmen sandiego
And either spidey or Chris or surg
Does the
"Carmen sandiego"
anyone else call the number?? wtf????????
LOL I did!
Poor Mickey needs some sleep 😂
That intro ❤😂
It's really funny Micky made that joke about people actually respecting the source material by paying attention to it considering Walton Goggins specifically and deliberately chose not to play any of the Fallout games because he didn't want his performance to be influenced by any previous interpretations of the ghouls.
Hes an actor, the directors, writers and set designers clearly respect the source material.
@@judaychop yeah, but Micky made the remark in regards to Ella Purnell choosing to play Fallout to better understand the character and world. I just think it's funny how the two main actors had completely different approaches to it and they both worked out
Edit: misspelled Ella's name
@@HumbleBovine that because for the most part they get told what to do and say by people who clearly care about the source material, im not saying acting is easy, and kudos to her for going what should be normal and not the extra mile, but it wasnt all that necessary, its more important that the people behind the scenes actualy crafting the show know the source material well.
@@HumbleBovine that's because Waltons job was to play a cowboy type like he's used to . So he really had no need to play the games to be fair and u see how well it worked out
To be honest i think doing so added to his performance. I know its easy to interpret it as disrespect but his motivation for doing so was that he would play the character not as "a videogame movie" Character but as his own person and character and he knocks it out of the park for it.
When did Jesus Christ Join the Gang 😂🙏
Request to editor* would it be possible to drop episode 7&8 as a double feature?
Two guys fron right and left have good reaction. Two guys in middle are just shit.
Anyone know what’s going on with cobra Kai
