9:00 This is one of my favorite fight scenes. Instead of making Lucy a girl-boss that beats up this savage, buff, tall, strong, surface survivor who has been fighting his whole life, she actually loses this fight. Mostly. He throws her 100 pounds around like a 200 pound fit, strong, athletic man SHOULD be able to. I'm not condoning it, I'm just pointing out that he's huge and strong, and she's tiny, and given the difference in their size, she has no chance to out-wrestle him. He tosses her around with ease, stabs her, and is strangling her to death. Then he gets distracted and she clocks him in the temple with a heavy blunt object, enough to knock him out for a minute so she can escape. She still didn't really win, having suffered a possibly lethal wound while he's only out for a minute. It's very realistic, way way more than watching girl-bosses slap men around twice their size like taking a stroll through the park. This makes me like Lucy MacLean way more than typical girl-boss heroes; she fights for real and her struggles seem real.
Very good point. Sure, a fantasy flick where a girl beats up a guy twice her size is fun escapism, but the reality of Lucy's fight with Monte shows her resourcefulness when she strikes while he's distracted by the alarm . . .
The opening explosion, followed by the series of explosions, is one of the most terrifying portrayals of the start of a nuclear war I've ever seen, movies or TV . . .
Regarding the baby doll kill at the end. There is a famous gun in some of the video games, called a junk Jet, that you can put any junk into it and it shoots that junk as ammo. Wrenches, scrap metal, dinner plates, silverware, even plastic dolls. They put that scene in at the end of the episode just for us Fallout video game junkies so we'd know something everybody else doesn't.
Nice to find a new reactor to this show who even looks quite a bit like Lucy 😊 And i wish you much fun with the show, its really a very good one 👍 Oh, for the giant bag that Maximus is carrying, its a bit of a joke about inventory in RPG games. I mean, even that big wouldn't be big enough for all the stuff you often carry around there. Also of course the "stim pack" Lucy used after she got stabbed by her "husband" is just game mechanics, like you drink your HP potion and your wounds are magically healed.
Thank you for the complements, you're super sweet! (the actresse who plays Lucy is one of the main reasons why I wanted to watch this show. She is so pretty!!!) hahahaha the giant bag that Maximus carries is even more funny now that i read your explanation xd
18:08 when the ghoul says “I do this for the love of the game” is a reference to fallout players. Even when you beat the game you continue playing and exploring new locations and side quests.
👍I've watched the show so many times already (especially through reactions) but it still feels exciting to watch it once more. And it definitely reignited my desire to play the games once again, as it captures the vibe you get in them so well!
@@MalBread I've played Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4, and even though 3 has older graphics, it's my favorite of the 3 because of the atmosphere, the environment and some of the quests/stories. I've been working on setting up a heavily modded Fallout 3 fresh install, to play it once again after so many years, just because this TV series reminded me of how much I enjoyed it back then.
@@MalBread Exactly! It will be a while before I can play though, as I'm following a guide to install hundreds of mods, to transform the game completely with better graphics, a ton more quests and items, additional maps, music, sounds, interface changes, etc. Thanks!
@@hristoitchov I've played all 3 you mentioned also, and 4 is my favorite for two reasons. First, as a mom, I can understand the desire to find one's stolen child. Second, I like the way the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system streamlines the perks compared to 3 and NV . . .
It's worth paying attention to the end "credits" - when the great music plays. It's different for every episode and it explains things/has story elements if you look closely.
It reminds me of the Catholic Church and its military orders, like the Templars or the Hospitallers. They were like monasteries, but the members trained as soldiers to defend the faith and fight for the Church (and literally fought in The Crusades). So I don’t see the BoS as a cult. They’re just like any other religion with rituals, dogma, and symbols, etc. What is interesting (to me) is that cracks have already formed in the religion, conflicts between dogmas, and contradictions between its high ideals and its methods.
OOOOohhhhh if I come across a Vault Tec jumpsuit I'll definitely try it on! The actress who plays Lucy is a very pretty woman, she is one of the main reasons why I wanted to watch this show! Thank you for the compliment but I'll never be as GORGEOUS as her😍
this is unironically one of the best shows i've seen lately, game-based or otherwise. i'm a fallout fan in general, and they definitely nailed almost everything perfectly. if i had to use a single emoji to describe it, it'd definitely be 👍
This show is BLOWING me away!! The attention to detail in very impressive. Hey Lucifurium thank you so much for watching my video and commenting on it🍞💕
6:40 "I wonder why everybody is separated into different vaults?" No spoilers here, but I can answer that. The US has hundreds of millions of people. Nobody can make one vault, or even many vaults, big enough for all of them. Vault Tec, the company that made these vaults, made each differently based on the nearby population and the needs of the vault. Some would only hold a few dozen residents, others held several hundred. They made hundreds of vaults all over the US. Games in this world included vaults in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Washington DC, and Boston, plus several out in the wilderness in Nevada, California, West Virginia, and Maine that I recall. Vault Tec also conducted social experiments and, occasionally, other kinds of experiments in some of the vaults, though that isn't explored in this TV series so Lucy seems to be from one of the non-experimenting vaults. Unless you count the fact that it was connected by underground tunnels to Vault 31 and 32, kept separate but having an inter-vault breeding program. I'm not sure if that counts as a social experiment or not.
I started with the precursor to Fallout, Wasteland. Long story short, Brian Fargo made a 4-bit post-apocalyptic video roleplaying game called Wasteland. He wanted to do a sequel, but the publisher, Electronic Arts, wasn't interested and since they owned the IP, he couldnt do it on his own, so he founded his own company and made Fallout. Years later he sold the IP to Bethesda who caused it to skyrocket in popularity. Oh and EA did finally let Fargo make a sequel to Wasteland, as long as they didn't have to pay for it, which they didn't due to a successful Kickstarter campagin.
I have only played Fallout 4 and have played it for several years. When I first heard they were going to make a live-action version of the video game, I will admit that I thought it was going to flop, as many other attempts to transition and adapt video games to screen never went well. But I will now admit I was wrong, and this show was a very good surprise. It's not an adaptation of a story directly from the games, but is its own story and follows a majority of the game's lore.
The best thing the showrunners did was to lean into "game logic" so things like the instant heal from the stim-pac (the needle Lucy uses on her wound) which restores your health. So if anything seems unrealistic remember GAME. Lucy probably cant get pregnant, he was very radioactive. Take note that Moldaver leaves with only four people and Hank, was not until I rewatched the series that I caught that, more thoughts on that as you get further. Moldaver's bomb IMO was only meant to block off their escape passage not destroy the vault. The suit is heavy, but you don't use your muscles to move it, it is powered and uses hydraulics and servos to move. Is he the Dad? Yes. The Ghoul is a mutant created by large doses of radiation, they can heal, are functionally immortal, like a (Tolkein elf) so can still be killed.
👍A lot of times a new show gets hyped, and then you watch it and find that the budget was blown on a big name actor, or tons of CGI, or its got some kind of agenda its pushing. But this is pretty damn faithful to the source material. The props, sets and costumes are lovingly crafted, and the creatures brought to life diligently. This is what it looks like to have a showrunner care about the details. Add in a fantastic cast, and you're in for a rocket ride. Also, for the sake of your curiosity, the reason the world is kind of retro-futuristic is because the world of Fallout is kind of a divergent timeline where technology moved from the vacuum tube, over to nuclear fusion/fission, lasers, robotics, and essentially skipped the transistor. The Fallout universe is essentially the "World of Tomorrow" as imagined in the 50's. Lots of Americana, focus on 'the red scare', all satirized and dialed up to 11. Its violent, its cruel, and its quirky. Enjoy :)
OK the nuclear fusion/fission explanation makes so much sense now! I really like it when I come across media that has the vintage feel to it paired with advance tech! So far the actors have been super talented, I only have great things to say about this how. Also thank you so much for watching my video, I really appreciate the support!
The Brotherhood of Steel are also founded by surviving members of the US military who after seeing a series of "war crimes" committed in the name of progress by the US government mostly against other US citizens before the bombs even fell effectively revolted and fled their original base under the leadership of Captain Maxson. Maxson would become the first Elder of the Brotherhood with most of the original fellow deserters as senior members of the Brotherhood. This created an interesting semi religious semi technology loving military based cult built on the idea that technology needed to be limited and controlled and it was that unchecked hubris of scientists and their more dangerous creations that ultimately led to the collapse of civilization.
I love to find a new reactor. I hope to see you do more big Hollywood movies or TV. As for the style of this show, it's an alternate earth in the future with laser guns, AI robots, fusion-powered cars, etc. But also retro in some ways, like the TV and furniture and even the clothing looks like the 1950s. A fun blend of the good old Happy Days and the sci-fi future. Yes, all the Fallout games are like this, but none of them are about these characters or this story.
👍 I am new here but having just watched Arcane S2, I can't unhear Jinx either! When I first watched this, her voice wasn't fresh in my mind. This show is a helluva journey that continues to expand and amaze right up to the end! Great writing, performances, and production all around.
First off, thank you so much for watching until the end, you're so awesome! I keep hearing Jinx's voice every time Lucy talks. I'm so glad I finally picked up this show😊
9:21 You’re terrible! Terribly funny. 👍 Everything about this show is impressive, but what I find most compelling is that it is telling a moral tale. Lucy’s big challenge is not merely physically surviving in the Wasteland, but it is maintaining her self, her moral framework, her identity. That this is a moral tale doesn’t become clear until early in the second episode when she has her first encounter. The character she encounters has a short monologue and it is in this monologue that the character states Lucy’s thesis. Yes, a thesis statement, like in an essay, but it is so artfully done that the directness of it doesn’t take us out of the story. But to be clear, it’s the writers of the show telling us directly, This is what the story is about. Or at least Lucy’s story. The other characters (both the two other main characters, but also other important characters) also have their own moral points-of-view and goals, sometimes forthright, sometimes obscured and sometimes veiled.
Ive only played fallout 4 up until the show, it made me try out fallout 3 and new vegas. Also, kudos to the "insertion" joke. Good to see a woman with a good sense of humor.
9:00 This is one of my favorite fight scenes.
Instead of making Lucy a girl-boss that beats up this savage, buff, tall, strong, surface survivor who has been fighting his whole life, she actually loses this fight. Mostly.
He throws her 100 pounds around like a 200 pound fit, strong, athletic man SHOULD be able to.
I'm not condoning it, I'm just pointing out that he's huge and strong, and she's tiny, and given the difference in their size, she has no chance to out-wrestle him.
He tosses her around with ease, stabs her, and is strangling her to death.
Then he gets distracted and she clocks him in the temple with a heavy blunt object, enough to knock him out for a minute so she can escape.
She still didn't really win, having suffered a possibly lethal wound while he's only out for a minute.
It's very realistic, way way more than watching girl-bosses slap men around twice their size like taking a stroll through the park.
This makes me like Lucy MacLean way more than typical girl-boss heroes; she fights for real and her struggles seem real.
It also raises the stakes when she goes to the surface. We know that she faces real threats that she potentially can't handle.
The one thing we can say about Monty’s death: don’t do the crime if you can’t do the brine.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Booo! Terrible joke... I love it.
Very good point. Sure, a fantasy flick where a girl beats up a guy twice her size is fun escapism, but the reality of Lucy's fight with Monte shows her resourcefulness when she strikes while he's distracted by the alarm . . .
The opening explosion, followed by the series of explosions, is one of the most terrifying portrayals of the start of a nuclear war I've ever seen, movies or TV . . .
Such an insane start to a show! Very memorable intro
Regarding the baby doll kill at the end.
There is a famous gun in some of the video games, called a junk Jet, that you can put any junk into it and it shoots that junk as ammo.
Wrenches, scrap metal, dinner plates, silverware, even plastic dolls.
They put that scene in at the end of the episode just for us Fallout video game junkies so we'd know something everybody else doesn't.

You seemed to really like the music. It's all from the games, where you can tune in the radio on your Pip-Boy (the clunky smart watches).
The music is awesome! The music alone makes me want to try out the games👀
It's worth paying attention to the end "credits" - when the great music plays. It's different for every episode and it explains things/has story elements if you look closely.
"A cult." The Brotherhood of Steel is a religion of technology!
