The really brilliant thing about this setup is that the three main characters represent each of the three ways you can typically play the game: nice person who tries to help everyone, complete jerk only out for themselves, and complete idiot who just brute-forces their way through everything.
Don’t forget my boy norm, I feel like he represents the people who just wanna lore hunt and uncover secrets
That’s interesting…
You missed the fourth. Norm, the sneaky guy.
@@76marex Jerk doesn't mean simple, you can be complex and a jerk.
Cooper isnt a jerk, he has a goal. And will do anything to achieve it.
I love how Fallout has like two sides.
First: Absolute depression from witnessing the apocalypse/the horrors of said apocalypse.
Second: I GOT SPURS, THAT JINGLE JANGLE JINGLE
Well put. 😄
AND I GO RIDIN’ MARRILY ALONG
@@Marauder-778 AND THEY SING “OH, AINT YOU GLAD YOURE SINGLE”
Fallout East lore vs Fallout West lore
_Something about living in an age where that could really happen just makes that opening all the more horrific._
ABSOLUTELY! That opening really hit hard for me!
ya being a radar glitch and a Russian officer ho choose to not fallow protocol away from nuclear war back in the cold war
@@t84t748748t6 Well that's just it. We can look at past mishaps like the Russian computer error or the accidental North Carolina bomb drop and say this was all in the past.
However, everything that leads up to the "Great War" in Fallout, is the exact same crap going on in our own world right now. Various 3rd world nations have already started the Resource Wars (water, arable farm land), and with the way climate change is pushing, first world nations are soon to follow.
We might not have an oil or coal shortage like in Fallout, but we are definitely heading into shortages which will start wars between countries when diplomacy eventually breaks down.
And then, **The Punctuation Mark** in the books of History. Some country run by desperate people decides it's better to wipe out everyone, and we have a Nuclear War ... for about 2, maybe 3 hours.
Because that's as long as it takes.
At least the current generation of Nukes don't have the radiation problem? At least the Hydrogen based ones.
@@reuz5462no no no, hydrogen bombs are still very very much highly radiological, they use a fission primary to ignite the fusion secondary, it's a bigger explosion for the same amount of radiation more or less
That little girl's fear at the start is like a gut punch. I like how the show swings back and forth between silly and quite grim.
Yea, that part was rough for me!
I felt it, too. Still feel it every time I rewatch it. I think it hit a bit different for a dad who's raised two daughters, and recognized Coop's evident affection and Janey's vulnerability. The kicker is the panic in her face as she asks, "Is it your thumb . . . or mine?"
I'm also old enough to remember the Cold War.
That opening just grabs you by the throat and makes you pay attention.
The emotions Walton Goggins (playing Cooper Howard) showed as he watched the mushroom cloud form... that dawning horror... wow.
@@GrandpaCurtisReacts I didnt grow up with duck and cover, but not far behind. Such a smart girl to ask whose thumb!
The quality of child actors has gone up dramatically since my childhood, but it's still rare to find one who can convincingly convey barely-contained terror.
They had such a great actress in that young girl at the beginning. She sold the childs fear and concerns about what was happening perfectly.
Couldn’t agree more!
I have been watching reactions and the "Your thumb or Mine?" Line is a punch to the soul every time.
Oof! SO brutal!!
It conveys her understanding and intelligence so well
Remember from the game lore that actual war had been going on for a while... that "10 years" mentioned in the newscast was talking about a bunch of things... because natural resources were running out (or at least the obtainability was very difficult) the USA had annexed Canada and Mexico and the Chinese invasion of Alaska. In the Fallout world, Russia never became the major might that they did in our timeline. That role was taken by China. So by the time that this episode starts, war had been going on for a while, just not nuclear exchanges.
Well, is not far from reality
I think a cool detail in this episode is when the radio in the beginning says they dont know the wereabouts of the president, because he's already been whisked away to a bunker by then.
Hearing someone casually say, "I remember those days" got me right there.
In fairness, you guys of the younger generations certainly have a lot to deal with, as well… It was a chilling time, though!
@@GrandpaCurtisReacts You could say it's been the background radiation of our lives.
@@GrandpaCurtisReactsClimate change (which was known to be a problem as far back as the 1800s), school shootings, Covid, rising corporate feudalism, fascism on the rise as well, life itself becoming too expensive to keep up with, etc.
I’ve seen so many teachers on Reddit ranting about not being able to get the kids motivated to learn and all I can think is “well, what do they really have to look forward to? Especially knowing they could be gunned down at any moment, making all their efforts in vain?”
I'm Gen X and I remember the Cold War days, the fear of being bombed by the USSR. The opening scene reminded me to look this up, there are still several thousand active nuclear warheads out there. Let's hope we never get so far as a WWIII with nukes.
I also grew up in "those days". It's always interesting the reactions I get when I tell younger people about the nuclear bomb drills we had in school when I was a kid.
They’re both chilling and kinda silly when we think back on them, aren’t they? 😄
I’m guessing it might feel a lot like my generation (Millennials) witnessing Gen Z and Gen Alpha going through active shooter drills.
When I was in school, lockdowns were for things like “a mountain lion wandered onto the playground again,” not “another human being is trying to murder us for bullshit reasons.”
Pretty sure the air raid drills Boomers and Gen X had got repurposed into earthquake drills, at least in my area. Same general “drop and take cover, avoid windows, etc” deal.
Fun Fact: Ella Purnell (Lucy actor) voiced Jinx in Arcane.
Really? That’s cool. I loved Arcane!
Even more fun fact given her flawless accent, she's British.
I'm 63 years old. I remember those days and that party? I remember similar ones as well. through out this episode you mirrored my responses.
Looked my grandparents house growing up.
This days? year is 2077
@@snakki91 We know. What we (grandpa Curtis and I )were talking about was having both remembered the 1950's and sixties and that the retro future look of the birthday party was well done as we remembered the look of the clothes props house design cowboy / horse birthday parties. It was a tangent between us.
@@snakki91 "Those days" in 2077 mirrored "those days" in the 50s/60s. It's the whole aesthetic of the show/games. So yes, plenty of older folks will recognize those vintage elements. 😉
I wasn’t even alive during the Cold War and the first scene is still terrifying. Walton Goggins and the little lady playing Janey did a fantastic job acting with their faces during that scene and the camerawork is masterful. The scene of the two watching the mushroom cloud rise beyond the glass windows while the unsuspecting birthday party-goers enjoy cake and television inside… Truly chilling. Especially because it’s not out of the realm of possibility for all of us.
The kid saying ‘Is it your thumb, or mine?’ and the increasing horror on Cooper’s face as he’s slowly realizing what is happening sent absolute chills down my spine
This opening was MASTERFUL, in creating real chills!
Walton Goggins is phenomenal! He acts so well with his eyes
Vaultboy's thumbs up is never explained in the games, but the devs have discussed it so the fandom knew the design rationale a good long while back. Episode 1 of the series is the first place it's actually been laid out in-universe.
I do like how Lucy being stabbed seems so critical before you find out about stimpacks.
When I was a kid growing up in the 80s I saw things like Mad Max and thought "Yeah if I live I could grow to enjoy the world like this" and I got older I instantly took to the Fallout games. it gave me all that Post-Apocalyptic freedom and chance to be the hero of the wasteland without anyone ACTUALLY dying to get there. Ive only seen the first episode so far but man Im loving it and hope it maintaisn this level of quality the rest of the run
I'm just going to tell you it's one of the best shows I've ever watched, and I'm frustrated about the wait for Season 2
Junk jet is a weapon in the game that can use any item as ammo. Like a dolls limb, teeth, bottlecap, food, arms, legs, etc..Lol
Nice!! 😄
Curtis! I grew up in Soviet Union. That was when they taught you how to lay down on the floor when a nuclear explosion happened.
that opening is cold af. gives me shivers every time. You can feel the impending doom, the hopelesness, everything without a single word. Just straight up brutal
Oh boy, can't wait to watch your reactions to all the episodes Curtis. This might be one of the best TV series I've ever seen, and like you I've seen everything from The Day After to all those 70s and 80s miniseries that no one remembers now because if it's not on Max or Netflix it never existed....lol the writing is so good in this show, and the overall design and physical props just scream the Fallout games. SO GOOD.
I’m really hyped for it!
@@GrandpaCurtisReacts Oh and Cooper's daughter in the "prologue" was so adorable, wasn't she? They picked that actress specifically, so when the bombs fell, we were horrified etc.
@@LordLOCGreat actress too. She sold the terror of seeing the bomb.
The M.A.D scared the shit out of us all brother. I think its what makes our generation kind of what it is. Live for the day cause tomorrow you might be ash.
So true!
Walt goggins whos the ghoul loved when he said " I was reacting for all america " .
Not gonna lie, you get 200 % more out of the series if you know the games and the lore well. There are so many hidden little things, eastereggs, innuendos and props, that make a fallout-fan jump in joy. Even the music they play is often from the games. BUT even my none-gamer friends loved the show. They just made it work. 🥰
So far I've been loving it. All the characters somewhat embody the characteristics of the protagonist in each game. The tone is on point and they have been balancing a lot of characters and storylines well.
this show is just so perfect to me it is loved by both fans of the games and non gamers which shows how great it really is
Fun fact: vault boy against popular belief isn’t doing the rule of thumb he is just a happy dude
The MAD days aren't over
At least this Cold War we already know that we'll win, it's really just a waiting game until Putin finally croaks.
To be fair, they'll never be over.
The problems will lessen if we populate other planets, but as long as multiple major factions exist within our species and we have access to planet killing weapons ... It's always going to be a risk factor.
@@tasbard8545 we spent 250.000 years trying to figure out how to escape our own gravity well, and you wanna dive into another one, let alone one with no oxygen, water, life, atmosphere, carbon fuels or adequate sunlight hours?
If we gradually converted the material earth is made up of into habitation modules in a dyson cloud we have enough stuff and energy to outlast the projected heat-death of the universe without ever needing to go anywhere.
We dont breed fast enough to use up our own planet, why would we spend time and energy on using other planets?
No, they’re not over; it’s always a possibility. But there were times when I was a kid that we all believed it was imminent.
I played since the first ones, except 4 & 76.
I was born in '86, Chernoly and the Challenger space shuttle disaster. Good year, obviously...
But I always lived under the fear of nuclear armageddon.
Even as 6 or 7 years old, I was circling the playground silently, hands in the back, while the others were playing ; but just thinking "You guys have no idea... It could just all be over in an instant, with no warning to reach anyone in time, or the famous "Duck, & Cover !" to serve anything."
War. War Never Changes.
Everyone's been in a Fallout mood since the show! It's all I'm seeing people stream on Twitch. I just asked if you were planning on watching this on your Spaz Boys channel. No words needed for that answer. Just BOOM! Episode 1! I love it! 😂😂
When I watched that intro to the first episode, it just made me realize that we are close to something like that, for real.
I have probably wacthing the full series more than 10 times. Its an absolute masterpiece! The sad thing is i cant watch it for tge 1st tine again. See you watch it brings me joy seeing how much you like it!
That is ONE TV series to rule them all. Happy to see your reaction to this. Can't wait for the rest.
I got this recommended and had to see the reaction to the intro. I honestly believe we need games and shows like Fallout to give perspective to younger generations.
The greatest program in modern history. That's the gosh darn Truth ❤
I didn't grow up anywhere close to the cold war era, but I was there when the nuke alert was sent to everyone in Hawaii and I remember waiting to see the flash. Other people were hiding under their cars. Wild shit scary shit 😢
That had to be terrifying!
the opening reminds me of fallout 4 start scene. like this is what your character would have seen irl
Agree. The beginning of this show is something.
I do hope that the intro didn’t bring back too many bad memories where you legitimately lived in fear of complete nuclear devastation.
the thumb thing i believe is an old wives tale as tired as "DID YOU KNOW MARIO 2 ISN'T REALLY MARIO 2"
Just discovered your channel and could tell just from your video titles that your reactions to Fallout were going to be awesome! The first episode confirmed it and I am definitely here for the ride. I'm especially looking forward to the perspective of another "old fogey" like myself (I'm 60). The majority of Fallout reactions are being done by folks too young to understand what it was like living under the constant threat of nuclear war.
Now I'm headed to episode 2! Thank you, sir!
😉👍
Thank YOU, My Friend! 😊
This is my favorite TV show since Star Wars: Andor.
The sets, the costumes, the props, the casting/acting, it's all fantastic. Even the writing is great, the twist at the end will spin your head.
Some info about the Fallout world:
As the focus was on nuclear power, the technological progress took a different turn from our world. Microprocessors were invented decades later, which is the reason for everything looking like it is the 1960s with robots, while it is actually 2077 when the bombs drop.
Before the bombs drop in 2077, there was a nuclear exchange in the middle east. And an ongoing war for the last 10 years with China in Alaska.
The show itself is situated 219 years after the bombs dropped, which makes it the year 2296.
I think, that is all.
Btw: After Episode 6, you should react to a video, where all known vaults apart the ones in the TV series are explained.
Edit: I recommed this one:
czcams.com/video/8dbWUUf9KKw/video.htmlsi=kGVMysu8AdJqBpf7
I loved this series all the way through! I hope you continue your Fallout journey.
I don't think I've seen a series that truely conveys the magnitude of a nuclear blast.
If a 750 kt warhead (the largest common size in the Fallout Universe) was dropped on the heart of New York, all of the windows in Newark would shatter, and everything from about halfway between Jersey and Newark, all the way back to the center would be on fire, in a radius.
I get that for drama they show things a certain way. In reality, it would take about 15 minutes between the decision to go to war, and the first nuclear weapons to detonate.
Keep in mind that the people charged with defending the nation have to take some time to confirm what is happening with great certainty before announcing it, there may only be 5-10 minutes between when you get warned and when the nukes fall.
That is just from the submarines though, following the submarines nuclear weapons stored on ships, aircraft and ICBM's will come.
A nuclear war can not be won, someone just loses less.
When the bomb drops, and those strings come in, and they start getting more dissonant, it makes me shiver, and literally makes me short of breath, like some kind of primal fear is being activated
Completely understandable!
This is my first time seeing this channel and I’m surprised about how much you know about modern culture honestly
Hi Papa Curtis it’s me Kenjilescara, not sure if you remember me but it’s been about it 4-5 years & I hope you and superkid are doing great!
PS, you’ve inspired me to make a meme of Maximus as Tommy.
“I did not hit her. It’s bullshit. I did not hit her. I did noooot.
Oh hi Elder” 😆
😂😂
I can't wait to see you react to the rest of the series. You seem close to my dad's age. I can't get him to watch anything but the news these days, so it was a lot of fun sitting through this show with you. ☺
I just finished the show last night. It was really good and I can’t wait to see you get through the rest of it.
13:59
"Haha, poop-duty"
😆
I wanna start a petition to have the most popular adult mod be renamed "cousin stuff"
The opening to this show and the opening to The Last of Us were so brilliantly done. Both set the mood of their worlds
I am so excited to see your reaction
In all fairness, though, hiding under your desk would improve your chances more than just standing around. Not by much, but sometimes survival is a game of inches.
If you replay New Vegas, I highly recommend getting it with the dlcs, if not at least get the Honest Hearts dlc. It’s honestly one of the most memorable journeys I’ve had in any game. There’s a character you meet in Honest Hearts that really grips you with his dialogue and story. It’s beautiful.
Lucy - "So what's your sperm count?" - OMG I love her!
the explosions seen in the intro are not multiple nukes, they are the multiple warheads deployed by a single missile, the american missile capable of doing that in the cold war beginnings was the Minute Man 3 intercontinental ballistic missile, it had 3 heads that would deploy to maximize the blast zone, current day MIRV missiles have upto 12 warheads,.. in fallout 4 there is a faction called 'The Minute Men' who have to save every settlement in the wasteland, i like the name choice
The guy the ghoul puts in the coffin is the actor who plays Bubba in “Forest Gump”
YAY THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF WATCHING OLD ANIME RECTIONS WITH U
I like your sealed he will T-shirt
my grandpa passed away recently but you radiate the same energy as him. made me cry youre really cool ! keep it up! signed a new follower!!
Welcome… And I’m very sorry to hear about your grandpa! 😞
First time watcher here. Really love the commentary!
Thanks, My Friend!
I remember those nuclear drills we used to have. Gez. I was so excited about the series when I first watched it,
I didn't even think about living through the Cold War. I guess I blocked it out. 😅
I hope you watch the entire season! It's really good! I enjoyed your reaction. You're a funny guy Grandpa Curtis!
I’ll definitely be watching, My Friend!… And thank you!
great stuff, keep up the great work
Thanks, My Friend!
Oh, you’re doing Fallout. Nice! It is a great show!
Holy moly 🤣 you are funny 🤣
Part of the thing that I love about fallout is you dont really know when our history diverged.
They dont have microprocessors, everything is tubes.
Russia got nuked early and the cold war was with china.
No chernobyl disaster means public opinion about nuke power was never really tarnished, your car was even nuke powered .
I like your reaction, good video 👍
Thanks, My Friend! 😊
Actually the thumbs up is explained in this show instead of the games so I won’t say more out of respect of not spoiling the sub plots in this show honestly it’s amazing how they did this feels like a game you can just watch instead of playing lol
Just seeing your expression fall and the horror in your eyes in the opening sequence says it all, I also lives through the Cold War (the waning days, born in ‘69 and grew up in the Reagan years) there was always that low level background dread, it went away for a bit, came back during the days after 9/11, now the low level dread from the ‘80s is back again, not as bad, but it’s back.
Sad, but true… While not as stark, the specter has certainly returned.
The game stuff and lore aside, it’s pretty interesting to get someone’s take who lived through the MAD stuff in real life.
Your reaction to the intro was certainly very visceral.
I’m even surprised how impactful that was to me.
The beginning of this show takes place in 2077 the style is a future retro. The 219 era later occurs in 2296 9yrs after the fallout 4 game.
Please continue this series!
I definitely will!
"Slicey slicey well done lucy" is now my favourite phrase!
😄😄
Nah, radio like that'd be better for Battleship than bingo :D
😄😄
6:36 Ooh, you like her ;)
She and I could be friends! 😄
Lucy is cute and adorable and a total freak in the sheets.
7:34 lol
i so want one of those BoS scarfs the priests or w/e wear, the silver ones
The opening of this show where Cooper is riding away from the bombs gives a cool metaphor. America's greatest hero stereotype vs America's most destructive weapon ever made.
Well put!
Tough scene for sure
about how they told you at school to hide under a desk in case of a nuclear attack, my dad was an army recruit back then and he told me they used to have instructions what to do in case of a bomb dropping and it was to start digging a trench and lay in it face down with your head farthest from the direction of the explosion, obviously this all means nothing so some soldiers started asking the captain what's the point on all this ? laying face down with your head away from the direction of the explosion, like that's gonna change anything. And he gave them a honest answer. So the soldier occupies himself while he dies ... that hit me so hard.
You gonna die anyway but just do something to not think about it and die wile being less scared. It's the same with hiding under a desk in school, obviously as a kid you don't really know just how large an atomic blast is, so you hide and you may think you're good, it changes nothing but you gonna die calm ... that's some deep $hit
WOW! Damn, that is hard-hitting! 😱
i love this channel
Thanks, My Friend!
You're hilarious 😂
Thanks, My Friend. I appreciate that! 😊
Hell yeah Curt! Welcome to Fallout!
Also man.. I have to say, i can only imagine what it feels like, watching a show, entirely based on the "What-if" you experienced in your own life, crazy..
That is SO freaky!!
@@GrandpaCurtisReacts Love you old dude!
You had me at "poop doody"
😄😄
You won’t have to do the thumb trick. Because if you see one you’re being cooked alive immediately.
America dropped a 15mt nuke 70 years ago and it wiped out everything with in 19 miles in seconds.
There’s nothing to fear, you won’t know what hit you.
Even being cooked alive will knock you out immediately.
“It’s a good death.” 😂
Tbh ive never seen someone that went through the cold war watch this before, it never occured to me how similar those pre nuke feelings were. Very fascinating hearing about your past
Watching this was intensely - and surprisingly - unsettling to me.
Amazon is Vault-Tec
Does that make Tesla RobCo?
One of my favorite modern shows besides Barry!
The weird thing at 6:50 about you mentioning his name is Jeffrey Dahmer before they reveal his name is that the actor that plays Monty was also in the Dahmer show, and played Steven Hicks who was Dahmer's first victim.
Really? That’s creepy cool!
feels like we are getting back to those times now, i mean its not like "cuba is aiming nukes at us" scary, but it feels like its getting there
Sad, but true.
I'ma make this quick...YES!!!!! I haven't even been past 4, I keep restarting because there is some crazy game to film crossovers. Very nostalgic. Now I gotta start again with my girl. XD
😄😄
The games are some of the best out there, but of course they have some preferences:
The first two Fallout games plus one spinoff were top down, isometric games. They played similarly to DnD, having a lot of turn based mechanics. Some of the best stories in the franchise though and they took place in the same locations the show does (albeit a little different since the first two games were fairly soon after the bombs went off).
Fallout 3 is the clunkiest, but was the game that introduced a lot of fans to the franchise and revitalized it. It's approachable once you get the hang of it and very fun. It was also the first time Bethesda made a Fallout game
Fallout New Vegas is the pinnacle in my opinion. Similar clunkiness to 3, but very fun to play and has the deepest story and structure. It was made by some of the original creators of Fallout, and is very mod-able.
Fallout 4 is a fun game, but arguably not the best Fallout game. It is very approachable to new fans and has the most polished gameplay, but suffers from a lower quality story and atmosphere. Still a blast to play through especially for new fans.
Fallout 76 is...the most recent one XD. It exists and had potential, but was very much unplayable at release. It's gotten better, but it is the most removed from the franchise as a Fallout game save another we will never mention. ( _cough_ Brotherhood of Steel, _cough_ )
Yup Vault Boy gives the thumbs up, but hes measuring a mushroom cloud yup.
Ah, the 'duck and cover' generation. We had a fun childhood, didn't we?
It was definitely unsettling!
