Not everyone can become a ghoul just random certain individuals. Its somewhat a rare occurrence especially if you think about how many people live on the surface but we've seen like a dozen at most
@SuperCasperman I said dozens from what we've seen in the current wasteland in the show. Still shandy sands had over 34 thousand people and a couple hundred ghouls is a small percentage of that
@Clownbaby985 that doesn't mean they're rare tho, it means they're more of a minority. There are way too many gouls that exist for them to be considered "rare"
@@thomasdaub5445 One theory is that it's actually eldritch evil doing it.... but it's not a very well supported theory. It DOES seem to be metaphysical... but that's as far as anything really goes. We know that Fallout as a setting DOES have eldritch evil as a plot device. It's just not explicitly connected to ghouls.
You’re right about Walton Goggins being Cecil, but the big lady, Oliver’s mom is played by Rhea Seehorn, who played Kim Wexler on Better Call Soul. Lucy played the main character in Arcane I believe. Never watched it.
The ghoul is not a villain. He's doing what he needs to do to survive. Lucy broke all his viles. And even as he goes I hope he doesn't change to become a "goody goody". It's not necessary for every character to seek goodness. The anti heroes are more interesting. 🤣
The fact that I haven't seen anyone else catch that line Reg uses when greeting his fellow Overseer candidate - "Morning, Woody" 🌄🍆 They know what they were doing writing the line like that 😂
That bit with the Ghoul facing off with the memory of who he used to be, being told that he's ugly, strong, but has forgotten dignity... He needed that reminder.
One of the big skills British actors commonly pick up is doing various American accents so they can find work in America if they don't make it in the UK.
The overall theme of the show is a moral one. Lucy’s moral story is elucidated in the second episode by Wilsig at the campfire, when he tries to disuade Lucy from her search for her dad. He warns her that she will have to change her ways to survive in the wasteland, a merciless place very different from Lucy’s sheltered upbringing. He warns her that she might change entirely, become a different person. Lucy’s challenge is to maintain who she is, even as she sheds her naïveté and adapts to survive. In this episode, she learns something about good intentions leading to bad results when she frees the feral ghouls. She’s operating as a good and decent person, but she’s also operating with limited information. This leads to her killing in self defense, the first time she has killed. She took her good impulse too far and look where it got her. But she maintains her underlying morals of the Golden Rule when she gives The Ghoul the vials he needs to survive. Contrast this with The Ghoul, who has morally fallen from a decent man into the role of the villain. He is needlessly cruel to Lucy and others, and even his “acts of kindness” have ulterior motives. (Rodger wasn’t a mercy killing. The Ghoul killed him for meat. He didn’t revive the dog because he felt pity or remorse, he did it to track Wilsig. He goes on to kill others unnecessarily, even when they’ve given him what he wants. Even Maximus is facing the moral dilemmas for the first time. He is defining himself by his choices. Is he going to be a jerk like Titus. I wouldn’t exactly call his previous existence sheltered, but being at the bottom of the hierarchy, he was denied moral agency. All he can do is follow the rules, experience punishment when he fails at his task, and is pretty much relegated to shoveling shit. And even then, he suffers unjustified beatings because he’s at the bottom of the Brotherhood. Now he is outside of the Brotherhood and making decisions on his own. A lot of his decisions are bad ones, and in many ways he behaves with immaturity, the moral immaturity of a child. He becomes Thaddeus’ bully. And Thaddeus is OK with that because by the lights of Brotherhood ethics and code of behavior, he is below Titus in the hierarchy. In the history of storytelling, the moral tale is the most compelling because we can all relate to making moral decisions in our day to day lives, if we accept our moral agency and personhood. We might not be fully conscious of this, but deep down we know we define ourselves through our actions. Epic tales of Good vs Evil aren’t necessarily true moral tales. They are often oversimplified and two-dimensional, fought by two dimensional heroes and villains. Seeing Good triumph is emotionally satisfying but not really illuminating. Fallout has its heroes and villains, but they aren’t cardboard cutouts. Even The Ghoul has a moral arc being told through flashbacks, and we are filled with a desire to know how he went from good guy to bad guy. What choices did he make along the way, why did he make them, and what was he up against? It’s the deep moral nature of the Fallout TV show that sets it apart from mere entertainment. Sure, it contains the gore and pyrotechnics we expect from a post apocalyptic story, but it artfully engages with the deeper issues we all confront (whether we know it or not), which are: can we be decent human beings? Who are we? How do we maintain our inner identity and core selves as we face and struggle with an indifferent world?

He's turning feral because he's out of the serum.

Till this day nobody knows how and why. Even the Institut has no clue and if they don't know than no one knows.
It's rare it happens but there's 100s out there not dozens...
Fallout 1&2/3 all had towns full of ghouls

That static noise when Lucy is drinking the water is to detect radiation so the water she was drinking had a lot of rads
the ghoul actor also voiced cecil in invincible , and lucy isJane

Nvm, looked it up. Random side characters lol, I guess that’s correct though

In games you can put point in The Cannibal perks so when you kill human or found dead bodies you can eat to restore lost health.

Let's pour one out for Roger and Lucy's original finger.
One of the big skills British actors commonly pick up is doing various American accents so they can find work in America if they don't make it in the UK.
He liked Rodger. He gave him a happy memory to think about before putting him out of his misery, so that he wouldn’t have to turn feral.
