Not sure if anyone mentioned it before: Shady Sands was a city, founded by survivors that emerged from Vault 15. So in a sense, Hank destroyed a settlement that grew out of Vault-Tec.
@@shorgoth (spoilers for Fallout 1) If you ever play Fallout 1, it's literally the first settlement you come across, and one of the quests involves a girl that plays quite the important role in the history of the New California Republic.
@@agp11001 That's why it broke my heart to see it destroyed. Also broke my heart that they stuck it where Adytum is supposed to be. Shady Sands is Northeast of LA, halfway between Vault 13 and Vault 15.
This series is a study in how to adapt a game to screen. The casting is nothing short of perfect, and they recreate enough stuff from the games to appease the fanbase, but the key element is tone. That's remarkable, because the tone of the games are grim, tragic, and brutal. And wacky, with sly, sarcastic humor. And getting that mix right was the real miracle of this show
It's also good that they leaned into the fact that the franchise/universe is ripe for anthologies, stories set in the same universe but being mostly separate from each other apart from factions etc. The fact that it's all original characters, and a somewhat new story (besides using the trope of leaving the vault chasing after a missing family member) means it's fresh for fans of the series, and the writers have more creative freedom, the problem with a lot of tv adaptations is when they try to stick to the source material and just straight up adapt the story of it, they rarely do it justice and it just annoys everyone, I think the only exception would be the Last of Us, but they had the fortune of the game being more structured like a show/movie than vice versa already. Plus I just love seeing all the pre-war stuff which outside of Fallout 4 is referential only., and yeah they nailed the wacky humour contrasted with the bleakness really well.
Lucy putting her mom out of her misery, is a really good way of showing us she did learn from Cooper specifically when he put his ghoul acquaintance down in the earlier episodes and he was kind of right, that he's just her but given time, but only kind of.
The last altruistic people in the Brotherhood of Steel was Elder Lyons and his daughter Sarah, and they helped bring clean water to the Washington DC wasteland. But after they died, the remaining brotherhood members decided they didn't want to escort water caravans to help wastelanders, and they went back to collecting and hoarding technology. This happened between 2277 - 2287 (20 - 10 years prior to the show). If Maximus is going to try and change the brotherhood from the inside, it's going to be an uphill battle.
Sort of like telling people to "Vote Blue, no matter who". 🤥 Good luck changing an overwhelmingly corrupt organization by supporting it. It worked _so_ _well_ on Team -Red- Orange. 🤥 Doh. 💰😈⚖👿💰
Spot on with the remembering of Elder Lyons and Sarah in Fallout 3. That's why I was so disappointed with the BoS in Fallout 4. The Minute Men definitely took the position of the good guys in 4.
Gosh golly. A comment pointing out the similarity of Maximus changing the Brotherhood "from the inside" and the failure of well-intended party members trying to de-corrupt _both_ of the two entirely compromised parties in the US, gets deleted. How could that happen? 🙊🙈🙉
@@CigarMick I was so confused at everyone's reaction to the Brotherhood's arrival in Fallout 4. I thought they were still the (relatively) good guys at the start!
I think the key aspect of Maximus moving forward is why he joined the Brotherhood. The question is if he views the people who hurt him as narrowly Hank, or more broadly VaultTec. If the latter and if VaultTec plans to recolonize the surface in a couple of decades I think a BoS vs VaultTec war is on the horizon
This show is definitely rewatchable, and you'll likely catch a bunch of little things that will have a different meaning on a rewatch, if you didn't notice the 1st time. A few examples, the 'Don't Lose Your Head!" poster that's repeatedly shown in the 1st ep; the shop keeper telling Lucy she didn't belong up there because she was so clean and still had all 10 fingers; Hilzig telling he she'd have to adapt to live on the surface, but if she did, would she still want the same things (rescuing her father); Lucy saying it would break her dad's heart if she sacrificed a whole community to save him
Yeah, it was only when rewatching it with my father that I realised that Cooper says the "We Cowpokes" line to his daughter (kind of gets overshadowed by the thumb bit at the time), which he says to the Outlaws as the Ghoul 219 years later. And equally the foreshadowing of Thadeus' hatred of Ghouls, only to become one. The writing is pretty incredible.
Cooper in the past tells the power armour executive about the faults in the armour that cost lives in Anchorage, he then exploits that weakness in the last episode.
My favorite twist is that the snake oil salesman mas being completely honest in the 2nd episode when he told Lucy and the scientist that he had serums to regrow a whole foot.
I had never heard of the game, seen the game or knew anything about it. I didn't know what to expect when a friend suggested it to me. This is so well written, has a great cast, and an actual story line to follow. Not to mention the little Easter eggs hidden throughout. One I got a chuckle out of was the cartoon image of the Ghoul giving a thumbs up when the reactor came online.
When you have a moment, now that you've seen the full season, search RUclips for, 'Every "Okey Dokey" in Fallout'. It's a short that shows the 5 times Lucy uttered this phrase. It shows the range of emotion throughout the show, and is quite simply a tiny sampling of the level of writing and acting in this series, in one silly little phrase. That last 'okey dokey' is so much more impactful and seeing all of them back to back drives that home. I can not wait for the 2nd season!
It is eminently rewatchable... in fact subsequent watches... now that you know... hit completely differently... for example Lucy's "If my Dad knew that I'd destroyed a community... it'd break his heart" speech in 7. Great reaction...
It’s fitting he finds 4 in a Red Rocket for several reasons. In fallout 4, that’s where you meet Dogmeat, not to mention, red rocket is a slang term for… well.. dog meat.
Some reference about Shady Sands if you're interested. It's a settlement seen in both Fallout 1 and 2. In 1, it's a small village, usually the first place a player encounters after leaving Vault 13. In 2, it has started to grow and prosper and is now the nucleus of the New California Republic. It's not seen in Fallout: New Vegas, but is referenced as the NCR is one of the major factions in the game.
In the first scene Cassandra and Tommy Hawthorne's father Adam was played by Erik Estrada known for CHiPs (1977) where he played Officer Frank Poncherello.
17:32 Maximus also thought the same, but also you have to realize he don't know where else to stay. Radiated water, animals and monsters, lots of hostile factions than just the Raiders. You must've to realize that he would've been dead if he had been kicked out.
Ten seconds in, and already I'm rolling with laughter. Thank you, Addie, never change. 01:46: Ah, the transition of Addie from "Okay, this is going to be a violent show" to "Yeah, I totally thought you were eating his child" is. . . well, far more entertaining than it probably should be. 06:56: It's Chris Parnell's Game Show Announcer "And Here's What You've Won!" read of the line that *really* sells it. 10:11: And there's one of the finest example of the "Instantly Proven Wrong" trope in action. 10:26: "I am just *not* trusting anyone tight now." That is a good place to be for this.
I don't think saying the city was the setting of one of the most popular games, and that the fanbase was unsure if it was canon or not. So that was a huge happy reveal to fans. Of course, what is canon from that story and what isn't is still very much to be determined.
@@MrBjmickle Despite what the Hardcore NV Fan s might want, I hope the show doesn't spoil ANY possible canon endings. I hope the show has some external catastrophic event that makes any canon ending superfluous.
If you're able to get a hold of the series, I highly recommend you watch the series 'Sweetpea' Addie. It's Ella Purnell/Lucy McLean's new series where she plays a introverted woman who becomes the Okey Dokey killer. It's basically Cooper Howard's storyline where he was originally a nice guy who can't even kill a guy in a movie to having no issues outright blowing people up for real. Except we never saw how Cooper transitioned between the two states.
Let's not forget that Vault 33's water chip is broken, but evidently Betty did forget because there is still a working water chip in Vault 32. A more logical decision would be to simply take Vault 32's water chip or annex Vault 32 rather than divide the population.
You don't even need to have played the games to enjoy the series and this universe that is Fallout. Addie reacts to the film stand by me (1986) please, hugs from Brazil ❤
this Show was so brilliant! now we begin the wait for the second season! how fun is it that you predicted both Rose being the ghoul and Hank being Henry!
Addie, remember what the scientist told Lucy before dying about not wanting what she was looking for once she found it? I'd like to see you play Fallout 4, I think you would like it. Also, always fun to see you watch my favourite stuff all the time from a fresh eye. It feels like sharing my interests with a friend even if it's not a real relationship. Your excitement always makes my day, so thanks.
Next up for Ella Purnell/Lucy "Goosey" McLean is that she's going to be playing the Okey Dokey killer in the new series "Sweetpea". Really looking forward to that one.
The 1st episode showed that Cooper Howard was divorced at that time. There was a comment of his needing to work to pay for his "Alimony" obligations. This last episode shows why he was divorced. Talk about irreconcilable differences! I had hoped that this episode would show the fate of Cooper's daughter. But that will obviously be revealed in S02. There is still the question of who actually dropped the bombs. Was it Vault-Tec? Or America's enemies? The fact that Cooper's daughter was not in any Vault before the bombs came reveals 2 things. Either Vault-Tec did not drop the bombs. Or that they did but Cooper's ex-wife did not have any control or foreknowledge of when the bombing would precisely occur. Because she obviously would not allow her daughter to be outside and with Cooper during the bombing. S02 will likely answer the questions regarding Cooper's ex-wife and daughter. (side note: In over 200 years Cooper really hasn't discovered the answer yet? Hopefully S02 will also answer that mystery of why it has taken so long).
_In over 200 years Cooper really hasn't discovered the answer yet?_ The very first episode shows he was captured at least 30 years earlier by someone called Dom Pedro, and spent virtually all that time buried alive, with only brief phases of intermittent torture and mutilation in between (probably to harvest his organs). And if ghouls are routinely imprisoned in some places for the purposes of organ harvest - the Super Duper Mart where Lucy encounters Snip-Snip comes to mind - Cooper may well have been captured and imprisoned in organ farms multiple times over the years. He definitely hasn't been able to spend the whole 200 years roaming for his answer. In any case, though, I'm with you in wanting to see more of what happened to him over those two centuries, as well as who Dom Pedro is :)
Some things to think about. 1. I think Hank was equally upset because Moldaver and Rose were in a relationship. Moldaver wouldn't have kept ghoul Rose around if they didn't have a tighter bond than friendship. Where was Moldaver when Shady Sands was attacked? 2. Did Vault-Tec actually drop the bomb? Would Hank's wife risk her daughter by setting off an apocalypse without her being safe? Their willingness to set off bombs doesn't mean they did. 3. How was Shady Sands destroyed? Nuclear weapons, even in Fallout, explode above a city, not at ground level. To leave a huge crater, the bomb would have to be carried somehow to Shady Sands and secretly because Shady Sands was the capitol of the NCR. They had a large population and soldiers. Where would Hank get a nuclear bomb big enough? I am sure he did something but probably not dropping a bomb. For next season I hope you do one episode per show. There were so many things I wanted to see your reaction to but were skipped.
I don't know anything about Fallout lore, but there is certainly going to be a twist there. I doubt it will be as simple as Hank being outright bad. Hank could very well have known about an unknown faction such as the original US government/military and missing president, potentially foreshadowed in episode one. If Vault-Tec really had been tasked by the government, perhaps those are the individuals who were overlooking the meeting and prompting Barbara. It's possible that Hank really was just trying to get his wife and kids away from a significant emerging power that would challenge the authority of government. Plus, there's no way Barbara would've been happy about nuking everything while her daughter was at a party with Cooper, so it probably wasn't V-T.
Agree on all counts, especially the one episode per upload idea. 🚫🚀Nukes don't need a missile or a plane to drop them. Drive one in on a truck, disguised as something else, and you get a surface detonation and a crater. Where did Hank get the nuke? How did he deliver it? Does Vault-Tec have more? Stay tuned. Same Bat Time. Same Bat Channel. 📺👍
The games make it clear #2 isn't true. The show adds lore that Vault-Tec was planning on it, certainly, but it sure sounds like the bombs were dropped on a timeline that wasn't Vault-Tecs. #1, Shady Sands wasn't nuked because of that, it was because a pre-war Vault Tec Employee was angered by the competition in the wasteland. Also I am reading that entirely different. Muldaver is NOT a good person. If Muldaver truly loved her like Lucy did, she would have put her out of her misery long ago. Not to mention that Muldaver still basically attacked and murdered people whose only sin was being Vault-Tec Guinea Pigs (Considering her pre-war role, she would have been very much aware of the purpose of the Vaults).
Fallout is the epitome of the famous quote "It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism" for capitalism, the end of the world is just another Monday at the office
Whatever it takes, to form the "true monopoly", is justified. "...when _we_ are the only ones left, there will be no one to fight. A true monopoly." Think Different. Don't Be Evil. Always Low Prices. ⇒ Save Money. Live Better. 💰💰💰🤯💰💰💰 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I was a bit disappointed that my major burning questions, how did Moldaver survive and what happened to Coop and his daughter, weren't answered. I hope we'll eventually get an answer to both. But now I'm fully hyped up for the second season.
They imply how Moldaver survived in the end credits (look at the billboards). Chances are good his family is in a 'management vault', probably in Vegas, and they'll thaw them out to use against the Ghoul, once Hank lets them know he's still out there. Who is 'they'? Fallout fans have a pretty good idea, especially with who was giving Barb instructions in the meeting.
@@Scyth0r By survive, I meant how did she survive the original bombing. There is an implied connection with Vault-Tec, since they bought her company researching cold fusion. But she is obviously very against them. She is also somehow connected to the Enclave, via her association with Wilzig. She had to have been in a cryo facility somewhere. But maybe it was a third option we know nothing about yet.
While I don't want to say to much and spoil something I think we'll see in season 2, I don't think Thaddeus is turning into a ghoul, but a different type of abomination. I guess we'll find out when season 2 realeases. Also, a Easter egg in the code Hank uses, 101097, 10-10-97 was the release date of the first Fallout game. One more edit, the final shot with Hank looking out at a city, that was New Vegas. As a fan of the games, that was a "oh holy sh$#" moment.
I have major doubts that an injection of anything can cause someone to become a ghoul. There are other mutations with regenerative capability. It would be "boring" to have another ghoul character in the story. I'm sure he's going to be something "new" (to the show). [PLEASE don't say more! If you know, you know -- and no one else needs to know! 😉]
@@michaelhoward142 Frankly, I'm completely on the other side of the fence: the franchise's lore of radiation exposure turning people into ghouls strikes me as the only glaringly unscientific aspect of what is otherwise pretty hard sci-fi. The main plot line of the very first _Fallout_ game includes major elements of biowarfare and genetic manipulation for the purposes of inducing resistance to radiation (also touched on in the show), and the files you find in the Glow in that game contain a lot of material clearly written by a game writer who understood a lot about biology. For that reason, it seems weird that at the same time they'd be happy to attribute ghoulification to nothing more than radiation exposure. In any case, I'd definitely like to see Thaddeus be incorporated into a richer exploration of what turns people into ghouls in future series, and a biochemical explanation (as seen in the show) makes way more sense
4:33 It didn't start as a human, they genetically mixed human DNA with that of "radiation resistant species", such as the gulpers. It's why the gulper in the show has human features instead of "just" being a muscular bipedal newt, like in the games. It's also why the woman in the video was birthing little gulpers. 5:01 While surface dwellers might think the Vaults were a place for rich folks to hide in, the truth is that most of them were actually social experiments. That's why almost all of them that you find in the games are in a fallen state and you have to piece together what happened there, based on environmental clues and through hacking terminals (if your skill is high enough). 7:08 Turns out "The Trap" was for the viewers all along. :D 8:04 Yeah, he'd be devastated... x) 10:13 Remember him when Lucy and Wilzig were leaving Filly? He said he'd sell potions to regrow an entire foot. 27:15 She became a different animal altogether. 34:15 Time for Arcane & Silo, which both get their second season this year too. :) Edit: Still missing The Boys (+ Gen V between season 3 & the soon releasing season 4) too. Damn.
Those Vault suggestions in that meeting did happen as actual Vault tests. In the games you can find the ruins of all of those Vaults. As for the bombs surprisingly Vault Tec did not drop the bomb first. People who have watched the show only wouldn't know this but in the games you see that Vault Tec and its associates were caught completely off guard when the bombs dropped. Many Vaults were still unfinished and some Vault Tec staff did not make it to their Vaults. Shady Sands was a Vault community created by the people from Vault 15. The NCR was essentially a Vault Tec community. Vault Tec's plan to create the best society resulted in the NCR. The NCR was a democracy. They had laws in their society. They had their own economy. They had their own army. They had trains and power stations. The NCR was an actual government and it was successful. Hank destroyed Shady Sands a Vault society home to the government Vault Tec wanted to create. Hank ended up ruining Vault Tec's end goal plan due to his ignorance. In the last shot that is the city of Las Vegas. The famous sign is revealed in an after credits scene. The city was renamed New Vegas and is the only city that avoided being bombed because Mr House CEO of Robco set up a defense system to protect the strip. He was at the meeting with Vault Tec.
To be fair, nope. It was suggested in the game(fallout 3 i think) that Vault Tek dropped the bomb first, not the chinese. However its a sheer contrast to the Black Isle games, where the Enclave(which was the shadow organisation of the government) was suggested as a culprit. If you think Hank did harm Vault Tek's plan, that is a no. Vault Tek plan was to outlast everyone and built the perfect management so they can alone rebuild the world. That means they need to outlast or destroy any not planned society and Moldaver was not a Vault Tek employee and Vault 15 was not the vault which suppose to rebuild the surface. It wasnt even a control vault like Vault 13. They already had a government and a successful republic without any Vault Tek representative to lead them. Vault 31 was supposed to build the perfect society, thats why the reclamation day was the main purpose of the vault and had no experience going on there. So Hank did everything right based on VaultTek's plan. New Vegas although was part of the plan, still it doesnt supposed to be the city to form a country wide governing system and House did stick to the plan.
I'm going to take a wild guess here and predict that if and when Addie plays Fallout 4, that she will not be eagerly joining the Brotherhood of Steel faction the first time around. The game has 4 factions, so if you play it through 4 times, you can do so by siding with a different faction each time. Each faction has their share of unique and interesting and unexpected side quests. And its those side quests rather than the main quest that makes the game so enjoyable and entertaining and replayable. Now if you'll excuse me, the Glowing Sea awaits.......
You wee dafty you made me laugh with your daftness so funny. So glad you enjoyed this series as a long term and current play of the Fallout games I didn't think you would love series without the games as a background but you are getting it with out that credit to. Who let the dog out? 😅😆🤣
After several rewatches I think that Hank was telling the truth. I think moldaver is not the good guy she seems to be. I also think that Cooper's wife knew that he was listening in. I think she was trying to get the word out about vault tech. I think she was taken by vault tech as a punishment for Cooper.
While Muldaver's goal was good, she was hardly a good person. Remember what she did at the very beginning, then also remember that she kept lucy and norm's mother alive in that state all that time. It took Lucy a matter of minutes to want to put her Mother out of her misery. That's what someone who truly loved her would do.
I just noticed a little bit of inflection in a speech watching this time that kind of confirms something that first occurred to me watching the scene of Rose greeting Muldaver. Muldaver described Rose as "Kind, loving...curious." The slight pause and the look on her face when she said that kind of makes you think, considering how Muldaver was smiling at Rose and little Lucy in the flashback and when Muldaver activated the cold fusion, plus the way she said, "Rose, we did it" (and keeping Rose alive all those years). Was the "curiosity" that she mentioned partially of the "bi" kind? It would add even more to Hank's motivation (and add more meaning to Muldaver's line "That's how Vault Tec deals with competition").
you should really watch ‘Westworld’ if you’ve enjoyed this series 🤠🤖 same show runners; Jonah Nolan (Chris’ brother) & his wife Lisa Joy, along with Ramin Djawadi that did the music for this & Thrones
The majority of the motivation was actually due to expanding wars (energy shortages) and they wanted to end all wars by destroying everything except themselves and profit was used to get the investors involved ...the $$ motivation was the communists assertion In the game the reason was the energy war expaned to nuclear war initiated by the communists... also the New Cal. Republic was no better than the rest of the factions (if i recal been awhile) this show for the time being made them the "good guys" but that can change which is one thing the game did well was paint images of them then subverting your expectation
I mean her dad is responsible for turning her mom into a ghoul and slaughtering tens of thousands of people. That is a lot to take in and get out to someone.
if you wanna know more about the world of the games, but don't wanna actually play them, there's tons of lore videos online. I recommend the ones by Oxhorn, personally. of course you can also keep going with just the show and not worry about the game's stories. with how well they handled season one, I''m sure that'll still be a full experience on it's own. the way they played off Vault Tec's vaults just being experiments as a huge reveal was well done even though pretty much every fan of the games were aware of that.
I don't want to spoil but according to Tim Cain (the father of Fallout) Vault Tec did *not* start the Great War. This could be a very big red herring...
I pretty sure Maximus is built into a villain. The first step was to wish that something bad would happen to his friend so that he would become a squire. 2. His desire is to hurt the people who hurt him. 3. He watches someone die and doesn't help. 4. Attempts at good deeds often go wrong. 5. He is a liar and lies again and again for his own benefit. 6. He loves power and feels unworthy without his suit. 7. Almost without hesitation, he wants to kill his squire, even though he didn't even say clearly that he would betray him. 8. He is willing to extinguish an entire community for his energy core. The only reason he doesn't is Lucy. And Lucy first had to persuade him not to do it. Even when she explains to him the consequences if he keeps the core, he says no. Only when Luzy says that her father wouldn't want that does he give the core back for her love and not because he has a guilty conscience. 9. The only good influence Maximus had is Lucy and the two are now separated again and he gets power in a toxic environment with bad influence. 10. He is not particularly clever and easily manipulated, easily influenced. 11. Maximus has now found out that his home was destroyed by this corporation, Lucy's father. Lucy didn't have a chance to talk to him anymore and all Maximus knows is that Lucy and her dad are both gone. So he can assume that Lucy has chosen her father's side. I often see borrowings from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" Western. Lucy is the Good Maximus is the Bad Ghul is the Ugly. Even if it looks like Cooper's wife is evil so far, I don't believe that. If you paid attention, she looked at an elevated position to a person standing in the dark at the beginning of the meeting. I think this person is the big bad and Cooper's wife is just saying what she's supposed to do on his behalf. I think Cooper's wife learned relatively early where the company wanted to go with its plans and that it was inevitable. So she plays along because, as she said herself, she would do anything to protect her family. At no point did she say that she wanted to change the world and she was very anxious in the conversation with Cooper.
Critical logic errors: 6. "He loves power and feels unworthy without his suit." - Maximus was bullied the instant he joined the brotherhood. He has felt powerless, thus, was afraid to be without the suit. 7. "...he wants to [end] his squire, even though he didn't even say clearly that he would betray him." - Thaddeus immediately rejected Maximus, when told the truth. Thaddeus was the instigator and participant in bullying Maximus. 9. "The only good influence Maximus had is Lucy...and he gets power in a toxic environment with bad influence." - Dane was Maximus' _only_ good influence in an environment of constant bullying. Dane saved him, with the fake head, and in the observatory, and ensured Maximus' promotion, and hero status. Dane will remain a positive, cautionary influence. 11. "...he can assume that Lucy has chosen her father's side." - Maximus saw Lucy's disgust for her father, and she told him of her father's evil. Maximus did not see the Ghoul enter. Thus, Maximus will assume that Hank forced her to leave with him, and he will want to find and rescue her in Season 2. Maximus is an immature, developing character, who had minimal high character role models to this point in the story. His arc has been written intentionally to be uncertain. He has comically failed upwards. Lucy has slowly taught him to begin a journey of trust and loyalty. His outcome is undetermined. Lucy was in a pristine, protected, trusting environment where she was inundated with righteous management propaganda until Muldaver appeared. She has comically survived the unsurvivable wasteland. Her arc is the opposite of Maximus'; learning to _mis_ -trust, learning violence to survive, with The Ghoul as her mentor. Now she has learned what Evil _really_ looks like, with betrayal beyond comprehension. She has become the "different animal altogether" that Wilzig cautioned her about. The Ghoul warned Lucy as well, "Oh, I'm you sweetie. Just give it a little time." He was betrayed to his core by Barb. Now Lucy has learned of her father's crimes against humanity, her mother, and her and her brother. But she has a stronger moral core than Coop had. "I may end up looking like you, but I will never _be_ like you." Maximus is driven by fear, and love. The Ghoul is driven by love, and vengeance. Lucy is driven by love, and justice. Vault-Tec, and their partner Kⱥppitⱥlizts, are driven by greed, and the lust for power. As IRL, _they_ are the villains. 🤯
@@3rdOption-l9t You have not written anything that contradicts what I have written and certainly not critical points. Well, I forgot his friend as a good friend. By the way, the same friend Maximus wished something bad would happen to him. And when that happened, he was already a good friend. But apparently probably without influence on the good Maximus. Tadeus did not say a syllable that he would betray Maximus. He said "that's the brotherhood, they'll find out for sure." That's all he said, after that Maximus immediately decided to kill him. Simply because he ASSUMES that Tadeus will be the reason. The next point is also sufficiently justified by me and easy to understand. Maybe not for you. I also didn't say that he has to think that Maximus must be angry with Lucy. I said he CAN ASSUME that Lucy chose the man who destroyed his homeland. That can break his heart. And as already said and obviously Maximus is not the brightest. Simple thoughts for simple people. He saw that Lucy was sad, yes and she apologized to him. It didn't come to anything more and in the end she had disappeared with her dad without him. I think I don't need to comment on the rest. Everything is written in my comment. And assumptions don't mean that it will happen that way. It's quite simply a possibility. And you don't want to see these foundationally good, justified POSSIBILITIES. This makes you ignorant.

"If my dad knew that I destroyed an entire community to save him, it'd break his heart" - Oh the irony in that statement.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it before: Shady Sands was a city, founded by survivors that emerged from Vault 15. So in a sense, Hank destroyed a settlement that grew out of Vault-Tec.
I didn't know that, thanks
@@shorgoth (spoilers for Fallout 1)
If you ever play Fallout 1, it's literally the first settlement you come across, and one of the quests involves a girl that plays quite the important role in the history of the New California Republic.

"Will you want the same thing when you've become a different animal all together?"
"Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it."
This series is a study in how to adapt a game to screen. The casting is nothing short of perfect, and they recreate enough stuff from the games to appease the fanbase, but the key element is tone. That's remarkable, because the tone of the games are grim, tragic, and brutal. And wacky, with sly, sarcastic humor. And getting that mix right was the real miracle of this show
Tone: And the right music, at the right time.
It's also good that they leaned into the fact that the franchise/universe is ripe for anthologies, stories set in the same universe but being mostly separate from each other apart from factions etc. The fact that it's all original characters, and a somewhat new story (besides using the trope of leaving the vault chasing after a missing family member) means it's fresh for fans of the series, and the writers have more creative freedom, the problem with a lot of tv adaptations is when they try to stick to the source material and just straight up adapt the story of it, they rarely do it justice and it just annoys everyone, I think the only exception would be the Last of Us, but they had the fortune of the game being more structured like a show/movie than vice versa already. Plus I just love seeing all the pre-war stuff which outside of Fallout 4 is referential only., and yeah they nailed the wacky humour contrasted with the bleakness really well.
Lucy putting her mom out of her misery, is a really good way of showing us she did learn from Cooper specifically when he put his ghoul acquaintance down in the earlier episodes and he was kind of right, that he's just her but given time, but only kind of.
I love how, for all the goofyness, this series (and the games) have a deep philosophy.
And also to show that despite Muldaver's intentions being altruistic, she wasn't a good person.
25:14 The code is actually a reference to the release date of the 1st Fallout game, as it came out on 10/10/97.
True.
Lol, the moment you asked "is he going to let the dog out?" I also thought of the song!
"We're not going to let you do that, you silly little brain!" is my new catch phrase!
??
Any time my brain tells me to do something logical.
20:19 😂🤏🏻🧠
"🎵Who let the dog out? The Ghoul...🎶" Dammit Addie, stop being so adorable!
Addie just casually predicting the reveals.
The end credits shows that Hank went to New Vegas….as in the game Fallout New Vegas.
What was a real big thing to the players. The serie is fantastic.
@@JoaoPereira-qx8rblike an 18 karat run of good luck…
Truth is, the game was rigged from the start.
Shhh...
The House always wins
The last altruistic people in the Brotherhood of Steel was Elder Lyons and his daughter Sarah, and they helped bring clean water to the Washington DC wasteland. But after they died, the remaining brotherhood members decided they didn't want to escort water caravans to help wastelanders, and they went back to collecting and hoarding technology. This happened between 2277 - 2287 (20 - 10 years prior to the show). If Maximus is going to try and change the brotherhood from the inside, it's going to be an uphill battle.
Sort of like telling people to "Vote Blue, no matter who". 🤥
Good luck changing an overwhelmingly corrupt organization by supporting it.
It worked _so_ _well_ on Team -Red- Orange. 🤥
Doh. 💰😈⚖👿💰
Spot on with the remembering of Elder Lyons and Sarah in Fallout 3.
That's why I was so disappointed with the BoS in Fallout 4.
The Minute Men definitely took the position of the good guys in 4.
Gosh golly.
A comment pointing out the similarity of Maximus changing the Brotherhood "from the inside" and the failure of well-intended party members trying to de-corrupt _both_ of the two entirely compromised parties in the US, gets deleted.
How could that happen? 🙊🙈🙉
@@CigarMick I was so confused at everyone's reaction to the Brotherhood's arrival in Fallout 4. I thought they were still the (relatively) good guys at the start!
I think the key aspect of Maximus moving forward is why he joined the Brotherhood. The question is if he views the people who hurt him as narrowly Hank, or more broadly VaultTec. If the latter and if VaultTec plans to recolonize the surface in a couple of decades I think a BoS vs VaultTec war is on the horizon
This show is definitely rewatchable, and you'll likely catch a bunch of little things that will have a different meaning on a rewatch, if you didn't notice the 1st time. A few examples, the 'Don't Lose Your Head!" poster that's repeatedly shown in the 1st ep; the shop keeper telling Lucy she didn't belong up there because she was so clean and still had all 10 fingers; Hilzig telling he she'd have to adapt to live on the surface, but if she did, would she still want the same things (rescuing her father); Lucy saying it would break her dad's heart if she sacrificed a whole community to save him
I think Steph spraying the machine gun counts too. She's gonna be a problem.
Also: the Chicken F***er claiming he had potions to fix damaged feet when he sees Wilzig hobbling past, then later actually healing Thaddeus' foot.
Yeah, it was only when rewatching it with my father that I realised that Cooper says the "We Cowpokes" line to his daughter (kind of gets overshadowed by the thumb bit at the time), which he says to the Outlaws as the Ghoul 219 years later. And equally the foreshadowing of Thadeus' hatred of Ghouls, only to become one. The writing is pretty incredible.
Cooper in the past tells the power armour executive about the faults in the armour that cost lives in Anchorage, he then exploits that weakness in the last episode.
My favorite twist is that the snake oil salesman mas being completely honest in the 2nd episode when he told Lucy and the scientist that he had serums to regrow a whole foot.
I had never heard of the game, seen the game or knew anything about it. I didn't know what to expect when a friend suggested it to me. This is so well written, has a great cast, and an actual story line to follow. Not to mention the little Easter eggs hidden throughout.
One I got a chuckle out of was the cartoon image of the Ghoul giving a thumbs up when the reactor came online.
When you have a moment, now that you've seen the full season, search RUclips for, 'Every "Okey Dokey" in Fallout'. It's a short that shows the 5 times Lucy uttered this phrase. It shows the range of emotion throughout the show, and is quite simply a tiny sampling of the level of writing and acting in this series, in one silly little phrase. That last 'okey dokey' is so much more impactful and seeing all of them back to back drives that home. I can not wait for the 2nd season!
Thanks for this series, Addie, it's been a lot of fun!
The end set up New Vegas.
It is eminently rewatchable... in fact subsequent watches... now that you know... hit completely differently... for example Lucy's "If my Dad knew that I'd destroyed a community... it'd break his heart" speech in 7. Great reaction...
"This isn't going to turn out to be her mother or something, right?"
Addie officially becoming the smartest reactor on RUclips!🤣🤣🤣
Yeah she called a few things that impressed me! 💪
I like how the lead farmers live in the midddle of the sand so they name their daughter Sandra🙂
They didn't show that sinister, mutated skull at the very end for nothing. Can't wait for season 2.
It’s fitting he finds 4 in a Red Rocket for several reasons. In fallout 4, that’s where you meet Dogmeat, not to mention, red rocket is a slang term for… well.. dog meat.
"... but she stopped being your mother..." - and that was the moment Lucy gave up on her dad.
The Fallout is complete, Addie. Let's give her a round of applause for officially completing the show. 👏👏🎉🎉🎊🎊
Now when I see one of Addie's thumbnails, I think:
"There you are, you little killer!" ☝👄🩸
So much fun watching your reactions, Addie. You've been passionate about Fallout since the very first episode. Thanks for sharing!
😁👍
Some reference about Shady Sands if you're interested. It's a settlement seen in both Fallout 1 and 2. In 1, it's a small village, usually the first place a player encounters after leaving Vault 13. In 2, it has started to grow and prosper and is now the nucleus of the New California Republic. It's not seen in Fallout: New Vegas, but is referenced as the NCR is one of the major factions in the game.
One thing about rewatching a show or movie that I like is that it gives us a chance to notice things that we may have missed the first time.
In the first scene Cassandra and Tommy Hawthorne's father Adam was played by Erik Estrada known for CHiPs (1977) where he played Officer Frank Poncherello.
These last two episodes are bonkers
Bud went from a tiny car to a tiny roomba.
Haha!
"the Ghoul, the Ghoul, the Ghoul" cracked me up!! ❤🥰😂
17:32 Maximus also thought the same, but also you have to realize he don't know where else to stay. Radiated water, animals and monsters, lots of hostile factions than just the Raiders. You must've to realize that he would've been dead if he had been kicked out.
Ten seconds in, and already I'm rolling with laughter. Thank you, Addie, never change.
01:46: Ah, the transition of Addie from "Okay, this is going to be a violent show" to "Yeah, I totally thought you were eating his child" is. . . well, far more entertaining than it probably should be.
06:56: It's Chris Parnell's Game Show Announcer "And Here's What You've Won!" read of the line that *really* sells it.
10:11: And there's one of the finest example of the "Instantly Proven Wrong" trope in action.
10:26: "I am just *not* trusting anyone tight now."
That is a good place to be for this.
The last shot boils down to 2 words: New Vegas. I wont spoil it, but Ill just say its an incredibly important city in the fallout world.
I don't think saying the city was the setting of one of the most popular games, and that the fanbase was unsure if it was canon or not. So that was a huge happy reveal to fans. Of course, what is canon from that story and what isn't is still very much to be determined.
@@MrBjmickle Despite what the Hardcore NV Fan s might want, I hope the show doesn't spoil ANY possible canon endings. I hope the show has some external catastrophic event that makes any canon ending superfluous.
First time watching when he returned the fusion core and it hit the ground I half expected it to start glowing and explode.
I'm about 98% sure that's New Vegas Hank is heading towards in that last scene.
Why not 100%? This is exactly New Vegas from the game. More so, in the credits there is "welcome to New Vegas" sign.
If you're able to get a hold of the series, I highly recommend you watch the series 'Sweetpea' Addie. It's Ella Purnell/Lucy McLean's new series where she plays a introverted woman who becomes the Okey Dokey killer. It's basically Cooper Howard's storyline where he was originally a nice guy who can't even kill a guy in a movie to having no issues outright blowing people up for real. Except we never saw how Cooper transitioned between the two states.
The writing in this was truly inspired. If they want another great season, then I hope they use the same writer(s).
11:22 Wasteland humor at its finest. 😂😂
Let's not forget that Vault 33's water chip is broken, but evidently Betty did forget because there is still a working water chip in Vault 32. A more logical decision would be to simply take Vault 32's water chip or annex Vault 32 rather than divide the population.
You don't even need to have played the games to enjoy the series and this universe that is Fallout.
Addie reacts to the film stand by me (1986) please, hugs from Brazil ❤
this Show was so brilliant!
now we begin the wait for the second season!
how fun is it that you predicted both Rose being the ghoul and Hank being Henry!
Thats an Abo, simply for your take on "who let the dogs out?"
Made my day!
Addie, remember what the scientist told Lucy before dying about not wanting what she was looking for once she found it?
I'd like to see you play Fallout 4, I think you would like it.
Also, always fun to see you watch my favourite stuff all the time from a fresh eye. It feels like sharing my interests with a friend even if it's not a real relationship. Your excitement always makes my day, so thanks.
Next up for Ella Purnell/Lucy "Goosey" McLean is that she's going to be playing the Okey Dokey killer in the new series "Sweetpea". Really looking forward to that one.
The 1st episode showed that Cooper Howard was divorced at that time. There was a comment of his needing to work to pay for his "Alimony" obligations. This last episode shows why he was divorced. Talk about irreconcilable differences! I had hoped that this episode would show the fate of Cooper's daughter. But that will obviously be revealed in S02. There is still the question of who actually dropped the bombs. Was it Vault-Tec? Or America's enemies? The fact that Cooper's daughter was not in any Vault before the bombs came reveals 2 things. Either Vault-Tec did not drop the bombs. Or that they did but Cooper's ex-wife did not have any control or foreknowledge of when the bombing would precisely occur. Because she obviously would not allow her daughter to be outside and with Cooper during the bombing. S02 will likely answer the questions regarding Cooper's ex-wife and daughter. (side note: In over 200 years Cooper really hasn't discovered the answer yet? Hopefully S02 will also answer that mystery of why it has taken so long).
_In over 200 years Cooper really hasn't discovered the answer yet?_
The very first episode shows he was captured at least 30 years earlier by someone called Dom Pedro, and spent virtually all that time buried alive, with only brief phases of intermittent torture and mutilation in between (probably to harvest his organs). And if ghouls are routinely imprisoned in some places for the purposes of organ harvest - the Super Duper Mart where Lucy encounters Snip-Snip comes to mind - Cooper may well have been captured and imprisoned in organ farms multiple times over the years. He definitely hasn't been able to spend the whole 200 years roaming for his answer. In any case, though, I'm with you in wanting to see more of what happened to him over those two centuries, as well as who Dom Pedro is :)
Some things to think about.
1. I think Hank was equally upset because Moldaver and Rose were in a relationship. Moldaver wouldn't have kept ghoul Rose around if they didn't have a tighter bond than friendship. Where was Moldaver when Shady Sands was attacked?
2. Did Vault-Tec actually drop the bomb? Would Hank's wife risk her daughter by setting off an apocalypse without her being safe? Their willingness to set off bombs doesn't mean they did.
3. How was Shady Sands destroyed? Nuclear weapons, even in Fallout, explode above a city, not at ground level. To leave a huge crater, the bomb would have to be carried somehow to Shady Sands and secretly because Shady Sands was the capitol of the NCR. They had a large population and soldiers. Where would Hank get a nuclear bomb big enough? I am sure he did something but probably not dropping a bomb.
For next season I hope you do one episode per show. There were so many things I wanted to see your reaction to but were skipped.
I don't know anything about Fallout lore, but there is certainly going to be a twist there. I doubt it will be as simple as Hank being outright bad. Hank could very well have known about an unknown faction such as the original US government/military and missing president, potentially foreshadowed in episode one. If Vault-Tec really had been tasked by the government, perhaps those are the individuals who were overlooking the meeting and prompting Barbara. It's possible that Hank really was just trying to get his wife and kids away from a significant emerging power that would challenge the authority of government. Plus, there's no way Barbara would've been happy about nuking everything while her daughter was at a party with Cooper, so it probably wasn't V-T.
Agree on all counts, especially the one episode per upload idea.
🚫🚀Nukes don't need a missile or a plane to drop them. Drive one in on a truck, disguised as something else, and you get a surface detonation and a crater.
Where did Hank get the nuke? How did he deliver it? Does Vault-Tec have more?
Stay tuned. Same Bat Time. Same Bat Channel. 📺👍
The games make it clear #2 isn't true. The show adds lore that Vault-Tec was planning on it, certainly, but it sure sounds like the bombs were dropped on a timeline that wasn't Vault-Tecs. #1, Shady Sands wasn't nuked because of that, it was because a pre-war Vault Tec Employee was angered by the competition in the wasteland. Also I am reading that entirely different. Muldaver is NOT a good person. If Muldaver truly loved her like Lucy did, she would have put her out of her misery long ago. Not to mention that Muldaver still basically attacked and murdered people whose only sin was being Vault-Tec Guinea Pigs (Considering her pre-war role, she would have been very much aware of the purpose of the Vaults).
Fallout is the epitome of the famous quote "It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism" for capitalism, the end of the world is just another Monday at the office
Poor, dumb people that couldn't even handle a high school level economics course complaining about capitalism, what else is new
Only... the Vault-Tec's plan makes zero sense from the capitalism point. It's just how communists imagine capitalism to be
That's a famous quote?
Whatever it takes, to form the "true monopoly", is justified.
"...when _we_ are the only ones left,
there will be no one to fight.
A true monopoly."
Think Different.
Don't Be Evil.
Always Low Prices. ⇒ Save Money. Live Better.

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Everyone hates capitalism until it’s time for *THEMSELVES* to get paid.
22:23 Addie sums up US foreign policy of the last 70 years
And begins opening the can of worms that is the moral of Fallout, the series.
LOL Addie, you're the FIRST reactor to this episode who has brought up Who Let the Dogs Out! Too funny . . .
I was a bit disappointed that my major burning questions, how did Moldaver survive and what happened to Coop and his daughter, weren't answered. I hope we'll eventually get an answer to both. But now I'm fully hyped up for the second season.
They imply how Moldaver survived in the end credits (look at the billboards). Chances are good his family is in a 'management vault', probably in Vegas, and they'll thaw them out to use against the Ghoul, once Hank lets them know he's still out there. Who is 'they'? Fallout fans have a pretty good idea, especially with who was giving Barb instructions in the meeting.
@@Scyth0r By survive, I meant how did she survive the original bombing. There is an implied connection with Vault-Tec, since they bought her company researching cold fusion. But she is obviously very against them. She is also somehow connected to the Enclave, via her association with Wilzig. She had to have been in a cryo facility somewhere. But maybe it was a third option we know nothing about yet.
8:03 oh... oh wow this one stings on a rewatch 😬
"Does it make anything your doing.... better?"
This show should win all the awards. The drug given to Thadeus was probably a version of FEV.
if season 2 of arcane is as good as season 1 that'll provide competition for at least some categories
Girl, your hair is gorgeous. Also glad you loved the show. As someone who has played the games I'm glad someone who hasn't has been able to enjoy it👍
While I don't want to say to much and spoil something I think we'll see in season 2, I don't think Thaddeus is turning into a ghoul, but a different type of abomination. I guess we'll find out when season 2 realeases.
Also, a Easter egg in the code Hank uses, 101097, 10-10-97 was the release date of the first Fallout game.
One more edit, the final shot with Hank looking out at a city, that was New Vegas. As a fan of the games, that was a "oh holy sh$#" moment.
Watch him turn into a centaur
I have major doubts that an injection of anything can cause someone to become a ghoul. There are other mutations with regenerative capability. It would be "boring" to have another ghoul character in the story. I'm sure he's going to be something "new" (to the show).
[PLEASE don't say more! If you know, you know -- and no one else needs to know! 😉]
@@michaelhoward142 Frankly, I'm completely on the other side of the fence: the franchise's lore of radiation exposure turning people into ghouls strikes me as the only glaringly unscientific aspect of what is otherwise pretty hard sci-fi. The main plot line of the very first _Fallout_ game includes major elements of biowarfare and genetic manipulation for the purposes of inducing resistance to radiation (also touched on in the show), and the files you find in the Glow in that game contain a lot of material clearly written by a game writer who understood a lot about biology. For that reason, it seems weird that at the same time they'd be happy to attribute ghoulification to nothing more than radiation exposure.
In any case, I'd definitely like to see Thaddeus be incorporated into a richer exploration of what turns people into ghouls in future series, and a biochemical explanation (as seen in the show) makes way more sense
@@rhonafenwick5643 Damn it! Why did you have to make so much sense? Thanks for making me rethink my perspective. 😉👍
This might be the case, one of the syrums like in Fallout 76 that give you benefits and weaknesses at the same time
Watching the first episode after this episode makes the opening scene harder to watch. Cooper knows who is responsible for the bombs.
Loved your reactions!! Also looking forward to season two!!
4:33 It didn't start as a human, they genetically mixed human DNA with that of "radiation resistant species", such as the gulpers. It's why the gulper in the show has human features instead of "just" being a muscular bipedal newt, like in the games. It's also why the woman in the video was birthing little gulpers.
5:01 While surface dwellers might think the Vaults were a place for rich folks to hide in, the truth is that most of them were actually social experiments. That's why almost all of them that you find in the games are in a fallen state and you have to piece together what happened there, based on environmental clues and through hacking terminals (if your skill is high enough).
7:08 Turns out "The Trap" was for the viewers all along. :D
8:04 Yeah, he'd be devastated... x)
10:13 Remember him when Lucy and Wilzig were leaving Filly? He said he'd sell potions to regrow an entire foot.
27:15 She became a different animal altogether.
34:15 Time for Arcane & Silo, which both get their second season this year too. :)
Edit: Still missing The Boys (+ Gen V between season 3 & the soon releasing season 4) too. Damn.
Addie! Here we are for the ultimate closure to the first season.
16:45 They gave a hint via dialogue but there aren't really many people of Filly left alive at this point . . .
Those Vault suggestions in that meeting did happen as actual Vault tests. In the games you can find the ruins of all of those Vaults. As for the bombs surprisingly Vault Tec did not drop the bomb first. People who have watched the show only wouldn't know this but in the games you see that Vault Tec and its associates were caught completely off guard when the bombs dropped. Many Vaults were still unfinished and some Vault Tec staff did not make it to their Vaults. Shady Sands was a Vault community created by the people from Vault 15. The NCR was essentially a Vault Tec community. Vault Tec's plan to create the best society resulted in the NCR. The NCR was a democracy. They had laws in their society. They had their own economy. They had their own army. They had trains and power stations. The NCR was an actual government and it was successful. Hank destroyed Shady Sands a Vault society home to the government Vault Tec wanted to create. Hank ended up ruining Vault Tec's end goal plan due to his ignorance. In the last shot that is the city of Las Vegas. The famous sign is revealed in an after credits scene. The city was renamed New Vegas and is the only city that avoided being bombed because Mr House CEO of Robco set up a defense system to protect the strip. He was at the meeting with Vault Tec.
To be fair, nope. It was suggested in the game(fallout 3 i think) that Vault Tek dropped the bomb first, not the chinese. However its a sheer contrast to the Black Isle games, where the Enclave(which was the shadow organisation of the government) was suggested as a culprit. If you think Hank did harm Vault Tek's plan, that is a no. Vault Tek plan was to outlast everyone and built the perfect management so they can alone rebuild the world. That means they need to outlast or destroy any not planned society and Moldaver was not a Vault Tek employee and Vault 15 was not the vault which suppose to rebuild the surface. It wasnt even a control vault like Vault 13. They already had a government and a successful republic without any Vault Tek representative to lead them. Vault 31 was supposed to build the perfect society, thats why the reclamation day was the main purpose of the vault and had no experience going on there. So Hank did everything right based on VaultTek's plan. New Vegas although was part of the plan, still it doesnt supposed to be the city to form a country wide governing system and House did stick to the plan.
I'm going to take a wild guess here and predict that if and when Addie plays Fallout 4, that she will not be eagerly joining the Brotherhood of Steel faction the first time around. The game has 4 factions, so if you play it through 4 times, you can do so by siding with a different faction each time. Each faction has their share of unique and interesting and unexpected side quests. And its those side quests rather than the main quest that makes the game so enjoyable and entertaining and replayable. Now if you'll excuse me, the Glowing Sea awaits.......
The only thing I don't get is why the people at Shady shores cared about Lucy's mom but also left her as a messed up ghoul.
lol Addie too funny who who who let the dog out , the ghoul cracked me up
You wee dafty you made me laugh with your daftness so funny. So glad you enjoyed this series as a long term and current play of the Fallout games I didn't think you would love series without the games as a background but you are getting it with out that credit to.
Who let the dog out? 😅😆🤣
Did you watch the ending credits? The camera zooms out to you where the dad was headed, the city of new Vegas
After several rewatches I think that Hank was telling the truth. I think moldaver is not the good guy she seems to be. I also think that Cooper's wife knew that he was listening in. I think she was trying to get the word out about vault tech. I think she was taken by vault tech as a punishment for Cooper.
yes its called sandy springs
This show is amazing! Super stoked for season 2!
While Muldaver's goal was good, she was hardly a good person. Remember what she did at the very beginning, then also remember that she kept lucy and norm's mother alive in that state all that time. It took Lucy a matter of minutes to want to put her Mother out of her misery. That's what someone who truly loved her would do.
Where are all the capitalists bashing this series and saying capitalism is holy and not evil?
They are deleting comments that explain the moral of Fallout.
🤑👍
In your mind
I just noticed a little bit of inflection in a speech watching this time that kind of confirms something that first occurred to me watching the scene of Rose greeting Muldaver. Muldaver described Rose as "Kind, loving...curious." The slight pause and the look on her face when she said that kind of makes you think, considering how Muldaver was smiling at Rose and little Lucy in the flashback and when Muldaver activated the cold fusion, plus the way she said, "Rose, we did it" (and keeping Rose alive all those years). Was the "curiosity" that she mentioned partially of the "bi" kind? It would add even more to Hank's motivation (and add more meaning to Muldaver's line "That's how Vault Tec deals with competition").
I wasn't to sure about this season but after seeing ep 8, it makes me want to watch season 2😂
22:50 LISAN AL GAIB !
*Kwisatz Haderach!*
@@SwiftJustice For the people who haven't seen the David Linch Dune or simply forgot that Hank was Paul in that one... this must be so weird xD
Please please please continue with the Jason Bourne films!! The Bourne Supremacy is next. Thank you :)))
She has that scheduled to release this week.
@@GarrettJayChristian Sound 👌🏼 thanks for the heads up mate
Uh oh. Shes gonna find out.
Hank and Lucy watched Howard's movies...wonder if Lucy will figure it out next season...in two years :p
you should really watch ‘Westworld’ if you’ve enjoyed this series 🤠🤖 same show runners; Jonah Nolan (Chris’ brother) & his wife Lisa Joy, along with Ramin Djawadi that did the music for this & Thrones
When Moldaver activated cold fusion, there was a piano, and...
...I was instantly in Westworld.
The final episode reveals the terrible truth that all fallout players knew going in: The vaults were never meant to save anyone.
Watch all the end credits, of the final show, and you'll find out the name of the city.
The code, 101097, is the release date of Fallout 1.
The majority of the motivation was actually due to expanding wars (energy shortages) and they wanted to end all wars by destroying everything except themselves and profit was used to get the investors involved ...the $$ motivation was the communists assertion
In the game the reason was the energy war expaned to nuclear war initiated by the communists... also the New Cal. Republic was no better than the rest of the factions (if i recal been awhile) this show for the time being made them the "good guys" but that can change which is one thing the game did well was paint images of them then subverting your expectation
"Wait, I called that?" The best thing is that wasn't even the most impressive thing you called in this episode.
The end there was New Vegas which is one of the games. Heading to Vegas.
Never clocked that it was Betty in the office.
Truth is, the game was rigged from the start.
A second season huh? If it comes out before 2026 I'll be shocked. lol I see you made that assumption too
I’m clipping this intro!
I have seen 4 laptop fixes and 0/4 were fixed. Mayby stick to gaming consoles?
I love this show, but Lucy took like 3 minutes to just say "he caused Shady Sands"
I mean her dad is responsible for turning her mom into a ghoul and slaughtering tens of thousands of people. That is a lot to take in and get out to someone.
Her entire world had just been crushed and she was in emotional shock. Try it out sometime -- it's pretty fun. 😉
To find out more about the world you can try playing one of the games in your own time or stream it
Please continue with the Star Trek franchise. 🖖🏻
if you wanna know more about the world of the games, but don't wanna actually play them, there's tons of lore videos online. I recommend the ones by Oxhorn, personally.
of course you can also keep going with just the show and not worry about the game's stories. with how well they handled season one, I''m sure that'll still be a full experience on it's own. the way they played off Vault Tec's vaults just being experiments as a huge reveal was well done even though pretty much every fan of the games were aware of that.
I don't want to spoil but according to Tim Cain (the father of Fallout) Vault Tec did *not* start the Great War. This could be a very big red herring...
1:45 The little girl stares straight at the camera. Oops
*"Do it."*
I pretty sure Maximus is built into a villain.
The first step was to wish that something bad would happen to his friend so that he would become a squire.
2. His desire is to hurt the people who hurt him.
3. He watches someone die and doesn't help.
4. Attempts at good deeds often go wrong.
5. He is a liar and lies again and again for his own benefit.
6. He loves power and feels unworthy without his suit.
7. Almost without hesitation, he wants to kill his squire, even though he didn't even say clearly that he would betray him.
8. He is willing to extinguish an entire community for his energy core. The only reason he doesn't is Lucy. And Lucy first had to persuade him not to do it. Even when she explains to him the consequences if he keeps the core, he says no. Only when Luzy says that her father wouldn't want that does he give the core back for her love and not because he has a guilty conscience.
9. The only good influence Maximus had is Lucy and the two are now separated again and he gets power in a toxic environment with bad influence.
10. He is not particularly clever and easily manipulated, easily influenced.
11. Maximus has now found out that his home was destroyed by this corporation, Lucy's father. Lucy didn't have a chance to talk to him anymore and all Maximus knows is that Lucy and her dad are both gone. So he can assume that Lucy has chosen her father's side.
I often see borrowings from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" Western.
Lucy is the Good
Maximus is the Bad
Ghul is the Ugly.
Even if it looks like Cooper's wife is evil so far, I don't believe that. If you paid attention, she looked at an elevated position to a person standing in the dark at the beginning of the meeting. I think this person is the big bad and Cooper's wife is just saying what she's supposed to do on his behalf. I think Cooper's wife learned relatively early where the company wanted to go with its plans and that it was inevitable. So she plays along because, as she said herself, she would do anything to protect her family. At no point did she say that she wanted to change the world and she was very anxious in the conversation with Cooper.
Critical logic errors:
6. "He loves power and feels unworthy without his suit." - Maximus was bullied the instant he joined the brotherhood. He has felt powerless, thus, was afraid to be without the suit.
7. "...he wants to [end] his squire, even though he didn't even say clearly that he would betray him." - Thaddeus immediately rejected Maximus, when told the truth. Thaddeus was the instigator and participant in bullying Maximus.
9. "The only good influence Maximus had is Lucy...and he gets power in a toxic environment with bad influence." - Dane was Maximus' _only_ good influence in an environment of constant bullying. Dane saved him, with the fake head, and in the observatory, and ensured Maximus' promotion, and hero status. Dane will remain a positive, cautionary influence.
11. "...he can assume that Lucy has chosen her father's side." - Maximus saw Lucy's disgust for her father, and she told him of her father's evil. Maximus did not see the Ghoul enter. Thus, Maximus will assume that Hank forced her to leave with him, and he will want to find and rescue her in Season 2.
Maximus is an immature, developing character, who had minimal high character role models to this point in the story. His arc has been written intentionally to be uncertain. He has comically failed upwards. Lucy has slowly taught him to begin a journey of trust and loyalty. His outcome is undetermined.
Lucy was in a pristine, protected, trusting environment where she was inundated with righteous management propaganda until Muldaver appeared. She has comically survived the unsurvivable wasteland. Her arc is the opposite of Maximus'; learning to _mis_ -trust, learning violence to survive, with The Ghoul as her mentor. Now she has learned what Evil _really_ looks like, with betrayal beyond comprehension. She has become the "different animal altogether" that Wilzig cautioned her about.
The Ghoul warned Lucy as well, "Oh, I'm you sweetie. Just give it a little time." He was betrayed to his core by Barb. Now Lucy has learned of her father's crimes against humanity, her mother, and her and her brother. But she has a stronger moral core than Coop had. "I may end up looking like you, but I will never _be_ like you."
Maximus is driven by fear, and love.
The Ghoul is driven by love, and vengeance.
Lucy is driven by love, and justice.
Vault-Tec, and their partner Kⱥppitⱥlizts, are driven by greed, and the lust for power.
As IRL, _they_ are the villains.

@@3rdOption-l9t You have not written anything that contradicts what I have written and certainly not critical points.
Well, I forgot his friend as a good friend. By the way, the same friend Maximus wished something bad would happen to him. And when that happened, he was already a good friend. But apparently probably without influence on the good Maximus.
Tadeus did not say a syllable that he would betray Maximus. He said "that's the brotherhood, they'll find out for sure." That's all he said, after that Maximus immediately decided to kill him. Simply because he ASSUMES that Tadeus will be the reason.
The next point is also sufficiently justified by me and easy to understand. Maybe not for you. I also didn't say that he has to think that Maximus must be angry with Lucy. I said he CAN ASSUME that Lucy chose the man who destroyed his homeland. That can break his heart. And as already said and obviously Maximus is not the brightest. Simple thoughts for simple people. He saw that Lucy was sad, yes and she apologized to him. It didn't come to anything more and in the end she had disappeared with her dad without him.
I think I don't need to comment on the rest. Everything is written in my comment.
And assumptions don't mean that it will happen that way. It's quite simply a possibility. And you don't want to see these foundationally good, justified POSSIBILITIES. This makes you ignorant.
@@TomTomson81 Notice that I made no insults to the author of the list.
I merely identified some of the most egregious logic errors, and clarified issues with the characters and the character arcs.
But...this is the comments section under a YooToob video, so... not surprised.
@@3rdOption-l9t I haven't insulted anyone either and as I said, there are no logic errors in it. You didn't clarify anything, but only gave your own assumptions. Unlike me, however, you try to sell your predictions as facts. Which is ridiculous. Simply because you are not in the shoes of the writers. What you are trying to do now is to make you a victim of a non-existent insult, to make me a bad guy in order to give more weight to your assumptions. All because you can't stand clear language? Look up insult in the dictionary.
