The brotherhood are just like a kid with a gun. They won't accomplish anything, but they will probably hurt someone. House is right, they are just ridiculous.
The Brotherhood in this scene are a pack of bullies. Looking at all of them running along smiling and slapping each other on the back as they slaughter the NCR soldiers like some school field trip.
And the other two protagonists are pretty great too! Lucy nails the Vault Dweller in a Wasteland vibe (her first speech to the Ghoul is perfect lmao). And Maximus is adorkable yet tough which is a fun combo too!
@@TheSpellingErrrror If they have time to fire blindly in the dark, they have time to switch on a headlamp. Just one of them had to have that bright idea (pun intended).
I love how Cooper doesn’t look at the brotherhood group as he whistles to get their attention, and proceeds to empathize and provide his tiny, yet, *crippling* knowledge of their power armour. He only focuses on loading the armour piercing rounds into his gun, and then when he inevitably shoots after explaining, he doesn’t look directly at the target.. it’s only when he is correct about his statement, which ended up killing the Knight, that he looks them dead in the eyes. (And with a smile to boot) It’s such a fucking power move, and he knew the shock factor prevented any common sense from the dummies in armour.. lmao. Love the show, and I love Walton’s work with The Ghoul
Power armor was never meant to be perfect protection, it is meant to augment the wearers strength, allowing them to carry heavier weapons and more kit. The armor is just on the frame to provide some protection because the suit compromises agility.
@@furrycow9263if you look further down the comment someone points out in Lore the armour flaw was actually known by the manufacturers but didn't really want to fix it due to profit margins.
Makes sense the armor had that flaw. T-60 was merely an upgrade kit for T-45. Mitigated some problems but did not really fix them. Now had they used T-51....well better results.
As a guy who just got my Army retirement orders after 3 war tours going back to 2003, thus was ine of those scenes that evoke some amazing emotions and makes me realize that us old guys are The Ghoul in a way and seeing these young ignorant people indiscriminately mowing people down hiding behind Combat Armor just really have no idea that there's always someone who has experience that will absolutely make them feel insignificant haha. One of the great shows 👌
@@sarkaztik3228 There was a big banner showing the observatory to be the NCR Headquarters 😬 but I'm with you I really hope this isn't the last of The Bear.
Pre war Bud Askins was in charge of their design flaws, and the bombs dropped before they could be updated. Post nuke no one but someone prewar would know about the weakness. No one in the wasteland is a threat against them in a firefight from what we've seen so they likely wouldn't know of the weakness. They didn't seem to understand when The Ghoul announced said weakness.
they probably had no idea of the design of the armor which was lost in time and assumed everything was perfect. until the ghoul showed them it was all wrong. and even worse. it didn't leave anyone alive who could explain what the flaw was.
@@sarkaztik3228the flaw was probably fixed in the t51b, but I think the t45 was way cheaper. So for the t60 (meant for riot control), the military didn't need that flaw fixed so they made the t60 by updating the t45 because it was cheaper that way. It's my theory.
Not that I wanted the ghoul to die, but when invading an enemy stronghold with orders to kill all on site. Why would they all stop, hold their fire in unison because a ghoul (brotherhood of steel kills ghouls) they don’t know and isn’t in brotherhood of steel gear talked. Should have been a different situation, cuz in that one they would have just kept gunning him down as they moved forward assaulting the base.
Well imagine you were gunning all of em down and you have already made it halfway down the hall and you hear a whistle from behind you. I kind of feel like they were just caught off guard especially since he's just kinda chilling there.
According to Shelter he has a Charisma of 7, although I bet he took the terrifying presence perk. That should be enough to pass a skill check on leaving him to monologue with a high enough speech.
Unlikely. There is the fan theory that this chapter of the Brotherhood was formed through a merger with remnants of the Legion, hence the Roman-esque names and the religious cultism behaviour.
@@paulheenan9098 Tbh a more outwardly fascistic eastern brotherhood would be a perfect mirror to the egalitarian western brotherhood, a showdown that NEEDS to happen in at least one piece of Fallout media
He was toying with Maximus back in Filly he knew he didn’t k ow how to operate the T-60 which is why he was mocking him about him trying to get him from the high ground, then his line “you drive that thing like a fucking shopping cart” after his foot got stuck in the wood, and then he cuts the life support system while saying “rule number one read the manual” he tries to get away and The Ghould hits him with the tow-hook from the tow truck. The Ghoul could of killed him there but it was more of him having fun with the situation and mocking Maximus
He more than likely was out of armor-piercing rounds. If you rewatch this scene, the ammunition Cooper is shown using is armor-piercing (as it has a darker tip than standard ammunition due to it being specifically designed to pierce armor). So he was likely out of those rounds when he faced Maximus in Filly. Also, Cooper had worn T-45 in Alaska, which is how he knew of the flaw (which he called Bud out for earlier in the show). He didn't know if the T-60 model had the same flaw until he shot the Brotherhood Knight with an armor-piercing round and the Knight died, proving that the same flaw from the T-45 suit was present in the T-60 suits.
When the knight falls ypu see the realization on the squires face The Ghoul could have killed him earlier and doesnt shoot at him. I dont think The ghoul planned to kill him here. Amazing.
For anyone who says that the power armor flaw doesn't make sense or was something that should've been 'fixed', just remember that even our modern day tanks are still susceptible to regular armor-piercing rounds and anti-armor weapons. It's still just some metal plating at the end of the day. Which in the Fallout universe does largely make the power armor almost invincible when 99% of all threats are people using makeshift guns will bullets likely sourced from whatever person knows how to use a reloading bench. Meaning that people like The Ghoul who actually even have high-calibre rounds designed to punch through power armor are the 1% exception.
And these "knights" don't even remember that those armors have headlamps. Eastern BoS' quality truly fell under Maxon huh? Lore and story wise, i actually kinda like it lol
honestly one of the things 76 did that was their version of Roger maxson, from holotapes he advocates that they have to star recruiting non-military personnel or they will die out, and that they have to be careful about who they trust, its less straight-up hate for ghouls and more 'we don't understand them well enough yet to trust them in our ranks' which has evolved into 'ghoul bad' say what you want about 76 but their roger maxson seemed like a cool guy. i really like comparing idealistic roger maxson to pessimistic and paranoid arthur maxson
I get enclave remnant vibes here. The ghoul solos the brotherhood like the enclave solos the legion in a manner of speaking if you side with the Legion and Lanius takes over.
Amazon Prime video should help(get ownership) DC, Amazon prime video is creating good content worthy ,so DC can get help from Amazon prime and make those Batman cameos for real without cutting out in invincible
I’m pretty sure the flaw could only be exploited if your using armor piercing discarding sabots, something you probably won’t encounter in the wastes lol
the only scene in the series that dissapoint me - Why would brotherhood just stand and wait till the GHOUL finishes his speech? They made that ghoul just overpowered
The decision to shift away from the more heroic-leaning Brotherhood of Fallout 3/New Vegas and firmly bring them back to being fascist jocks and goonish zealots in stolen tank suits was one of the best choices this show made.
Theres a reason why the scene here shows a close up shot of the bullet Cooper was loading in, he probably didn't have armor piercing rounds at the time he met Maximus.
I doubt very much that the ghoul took maximus seriously. it's obvious from his dialogue that he knew that maximus didn't really understand how the power armor worked and throughout the battle he seemed to be just playing with him.
Power armor was never welded. It is cast and fitted, as anyone can tell by just looking at it. This show could not be bothered to do the smallest research on even this small detail. In addition, if the Ghoul knew this trick since his military days, why did he not use it on Maximus in their first battle? Terrible writing, they need a lore continuity advisor and script doctor STAT.
The show literally explained that Cooper wore the T-45 model in Alaska. The Brotherhood is shown wearing T-60. That's why he says "I wonder if they fixed that in this new model.". That's why he didn't use it against Max in Filly: Because he didn't realize that the flaw in the T-45 armor also exists in the T-60 suits UNTIL THIS SCENE. Also, maybe do a double-check because a welder was used on power armor DURING THE OPENING CUTSCENE FOR FALLOUT 4.
@@thenightmaricsenpai524 You literally did not understand the criticism. Read it again, and if you fail to comprehend it once more, please attempt to get a refund for your 'education'.

I didn't rate this scene at all, just too convenient that there's a flaw in the armour to exploit. I thought it was lazy. In fact doing the whole final episode disappointing
I really liked this series, but this scene was ABSOLUTLY effing dumb. They did an amazing job in general of sticking with Fallout lore and theme, but this was just over the top dumb plot.
The Ghoul was by far the best part of Fallout for me. Love the whole cast, but the way he’s not very intimidated by these massive suits of armor. He’s been around so long, he knows what’s really up.
@@joesoul2472 Head sopposed to be armored, right? I mean, its kinda like the best post war legendary armor in the game/movie a suppose. If not, why would anyone even wear that junk?
A prime example of this show's flimsy writing: If Cooper had the slightest inclination that the T60 had the same weakness as a set of T45, why didn't he try this with Maximus sooner?
I rewatched the scene after that and I can think of theories, 1. He ran out of good ammo after taking down the town and tried it with scrap ammo or normal ammo 2. Since it was just Maximus, like any Overleveled fall out player he didn’t do his insta kill move and tried to have fun in the fight (got this idea since he was laughing while Maximus was walking towards him)
Maximus being one of the main characters, he got plot armor. But if there had to be logic, the Ghoul could obviously tell on their first encounter that Maximus was a newbie in the power armor, and their whole fight, he was clearly toying with Max.
0:57 They literally show him loading armour piercing ammo. He was using exploding bullets in the first fight. The director will point the camera directly on the important part and someone will still completely miss it, sad times.
Because, as Maximus points out earlier (and as is also poinred out by Lucy), his suit has extra plating added to it that the others didn't. He mentions it to Knight Titus and Lucy mentions it to him when she saves him. I don't blame you for not connecting the dots, but don't blame the writing when the problem is the viewer in this case. They set it up well enough and mentioned it multiple times,
The Ghoul knew that Maximus wasn’t experienced with power armor and rather than killing him, he toyed with him instead. That’s why he was smiling the entire time fighting Maximus and talking shit to him.
@@randomnickify yea I know but he was using explosive rounds in Filly against Maximus, that could've been a kill shot too. I just feel like the writers didn't think this part through all the way. It doesn't make sense that he knows about the weakness in the last episode but didn't exploit it in the 2nd episode.
@@JoshR813 another hint towards him toying with Maximus is the fact the he was smiling the entire time while fighting Maximus and was even talking shit to him while fighting

The Ghoul knew that Maximus wasn’t experienced with power armor and rather than killing him, he toyed with him instead. That’s why he was smiling the entire time fighting Maximus and talking shit to him.
Such a dumb scene
I'm not a fan of this scene. If he knew a weak spot on the armor then he could have killed Maximus easily in episode 2.
0:57 They literally show him loading rare, expensive armour piercing ammo.
@@randomnickify yea I know but he was using explosive rounds in Filly against Maximus, that could've been a kill shot too. I just feel like the writers didn't think this part through all the way. It doesn't make sense that he knows about the weakness in the last episode but didn't exploit it in the 2nd episode.
He knew Maximus wasn’t experienced with the armor and instead of killing him he was just toying with him
@@MrMafia400 ehhh maybe. idk.
@@JoshR813 another hint towards him toying with Maximus is the fact the he was smiling the entire time while fighting Maximus and was even talking shit to him while fighting
bro you got headlamps.... use them... wtf
