![College Football 25 Gameplay "Deep Dive" [MADDEN RESKIN?!] - Angry Trailer Reaction!](/img/1.gif)
Feels pretty rewarding getting to say "it just works," when a friend, who has no clue what Fallout is, confusingly watches someone use a stimpak to fully heal from a stab wound.
It just works was a meme for when it didn't just work
I love how the games and show are so grounded yet so amazingly insane 😂😂
@@Plight_ But that's why it's so clever to say and use that "slogan" because in a lot of way that's how the show goes. It just connects things and flows well. But also to be fair, people have said "it just works" with their games before. Yes, partly for when things don't work, but also when things due work becauae it's often created almost like with ducktape and glue and it's so surprising anything works in the games 😅
@@Plight_😂 the meme is going to be Okie Dokie🤣🤣🤣 a montage of how many times Lucy says Okie Dokie🙃
@@Plight_no it means it's *_just_* works, as in barely function
After all the trauma the Halo Show put me through, I’m eternally grateful the Fallout Show exists to heal me
Same bro, same.....
True!
Beeg yoshi!
Don't forget The Witcher
watch shogun then, best thing on streaming right now
To be fair The Goul didn't "abandon" the head. They specifically make a point of it in the show, where he says that the monster digests really slow, then he says something like "the wasteland always makes you get sidetracked", cause she broke all his drugs, and so now he needs the side quest of going to get more drugs before he comes back for the main quest of the head.
Glad there's people who understood this. Cause that's like the game, you can't just go from main to main you always have to do sub quests.
@@Crimsontiger133I’m so glad other people noticed this too
Abandon*
well if a ghoul child can survive no food water or the Mental insanity recovery drug in a fridge for 200ish years and this is Canon in fallout lore. The mental ghoul drug is one of the worst added "plot points" to me and probably other people as well.
@@nomnomzmcfluffyness492 The ghoul child was only in the fridge since Quincy got raided by Gunners
Did anyone notice that Lucy McClane is the name of John McClane's daughter in Die Hard? 'Die Hard' is a perk in Fallout Tactics which states: "You don't give up easily, when your Hit Points get below 20% you get an additional 10% to Damage Resistance".
Great catch.
Jeesh!
Wrong spelling, Lucy's last name is MacLean. It's at best a phonetic reference.
Lucy is the type of female main protagonist that the industry needs to thrive, she´s fun, engaging and not annoying, and this is rare as fuck these days
Whenever anyone criticizes the usual woke shallow female characters, you get the usual 'oh you just hate women' response, but Lucy is a good example of what people want. An actual decently written character, who's not forced in to represent agendas or check boxes.
@@truthisforbidden
That's also because in the very beginning, you go through a small montages where she basically lists her "build" with things like unarmed and small guns, speech etc.
But then she gets her ass kicked multiple times and never goes that far where she becomes a Mary sue.
They built her where she has some talents, but it's obvious she dumped her stats into charisma and speech over guns and other things.
So her special would probably look like 4,5,4,9,9,3
I've still seen ppl screaming that this show is "woke trash", but I think it just says more about themselves than the show 😅
I was actually worried she'd be perfect out of the box but got her ass beat, despite having been very physically fit and trained but obviously training isn't the real thing, but she has a good foundation to improve and now the opportunity or Need to use and hone her training and learn new things to survive.
It's refreshing because every show has a 120-pound female lead that throws around 200 pound plus dudes like nothing because to them its a F%$k you to the male patriarchy i guess. It's been done over and over since the late 90s.
I like how Lucy uses her Pipboy's Geiger counter to determine the raider is a raider because he's radioactive.
That was such a great detail.
She is too after he dropped a load in her
does that mean she has radioactive you know what after sex?
@@horridCAM its fucking stupid is what it is; youre fuckin em and you cant tell something is off and your Geiger counter isnt making noise either? its only until After?
You think they would've recognized they weren't vault dwellers considering they live side by side. Didn't her brother literally walk over to the other vault during the festivities, if they lived that close to each other you'd think the older members would realize those people weren't from another vault.
Fun fact. The empty desert town is an actual town in Namibia as well as the stranded ships on the sand. Known as skeleton beach. Those were actual locations
Lucy is the type of strong female protagonist that was desperately needed in media. Unlike characters like She-Hulk and Helena Shaw (Dial of Destiny) where they’re just girlbosses with zero character development and have the urge to tell everyone how perfect they are, Lucy is a fish-out-of-water type of character that starts so innocently and elitist, and gradually adjusts to the harsh wasteland but still takes the moral high ground whenever she can
Fallout 3 was the game where the Brotherhood was portrayed as really good guys just trying to help everyone out. In the other games the Brotherhood is a lot more gray morally.
Even then we learn that Elder Lyons Brotherhood Chapter has had a schism because of his attempts to be good with the Outcast Brotherhood operating in DC. The Outcast are the ones you meet at the start of Operation Anchorage.
@@maxpower3990 That's true, but outside of the Operation Anchorage DLC, the Outcasts didn't really have much relevance in the game. As far as I remember, outside of a radiant quest to deliver them technology, they didn't have any actual quests in the main game.
Very grey, depending on the game. Straight up villains at some points.
@@matthewjaniss4103 Fr, I always thought of them doin shit like stealing a microwave from an old lady, and I fuckin died when Titus referred to doing something like that 😂
@@ryoud9783Goddamn toaster oven
I got so used to playing the games that every time they went inside a building I was half expecting a loading screen to pop up.
You need to go outside more.
@@darthbane2669 Not if you're living in a Vault.
i was expecting more tripwires and booby traps
God tier response! @@joebenzz
@@joebenzzlmao
Titus and Maximus immediately stumbling upon the scientists camp wasn't completely coincidental. They were assigned to search -Philly- Filly for him, meaning everyone is already converging before they cross paths.
Filly, not Philly. its an excavated landfill, there was a sign. this is the west coast.
So instead of going to Filly the knight decides to stop well before that & teach Maximus a lesson for something he said & ends up dying. The whole aspect of searching for the scientist was so stupidly written. The scientist just happened to meet up with Lucy when Lucy could even have been looking for the scientist as well. The fact that the cowboys dug up the ghoul (no explanation of why he was buried & who did it & why the Radaway was used to keep him alive - who did that) just to find a scientist, how exactly would that work was he going to tag along with the cowboys to get the scientist? And the scientist leaving the enclave, how exactly would anyone other than the enclave know about him leaving maybe other than Moldaver who was clearly working with him? I mean she would know where he was, why not simply get ppl to escort him to her? The whole point of them attacking the vault to get Hank was to get the code from him & for the cold fusion tech in the scientists head & yet they leave it to chance the scientist may survive on his won with the dog in the wasteland & do it all on foot?
@@triax7006
"well before".. a few miles away.
Why can't Lucy and the scientist cross paths early? I don't get your point.
Did we need to know _exactly_ why someone might lock up a notorious and extremely dangerous Ghoul for later use?
What do you mean how would that work? Recruiting extra muscle on a highly contested bounty is not a hard to grasp concept.
Info on the Enclave facility is thin. As we don't know who is monitoring / communicating with the Enclave, why assume that no-one else would know of the escape?
No one expected dogmeat to kill a guy, forcing the scientist to flee immediately. Maybe he was going to sneak out and be halfway to Moldaver before anyone noticed, maybe she was planning an escort...
Nah Lucy meeting the acientist makes perfect sense. Dont look at it like they are seperate characters with seperate goals, its telling the story about how these guys interact.
Maximus finding the scientist is far fetched tho@@triax7006
@@triax7006look at it like pulp fiction. Telling a story of seperate goals all converging in some way. Happens in real life all the time lol
That turret accuracy was 100% lore accurate.
the turret had a display saying "do not panic" and it wasn't joking
The Dr. and 404 had really high agility and luck and at least 2 points in moving target perk
@@edgarbriseno6210 Close but nah fam; hardcore FO4 players will understand that those stinkin' turrets have Stormtrooper aim, that's a nod to the players!
Yeah awful writing and dialogue that can hide behind the cloak of "video game logic"
@@Scarz3ny Don't know why "dialogue" was brought up for a scene that has little to none in it, but ok. And if you don't want to accept the turret missing as a nod to the games, that's also fine. However, it is a thing that those turrets are notorious for just throwing copious amounts of rounds at the player to make the fraction that hit make the player feel in danger.
Early on when the player has little armor and little health those turrets are a threat. Later in the game when you can take a lot more hits, its almost comical how much you need to get hit for those turrets to do any significant damage to the player. So the turret missing ALL its shots in the show against the doctor with no armor is definitely a stretch for plot convenience, but it is an accurate comparison to the games.
She didn't fully understand why Cooper killed the ghoul. She's never seen a feral. She just thought he was a dick. This is where she learns what feral ghouls are. This is great writing.
a huge part of the series seems to be moral development but at different aspects - we get lucy who is obviously an ignorant vault dweller but maximus is also equally ignorant just more morally flexible
It all comes full circle by the end brilliantly.
Maximus and the dog are easily the weakest characters. Boring, and unnrcesarry.
@@nobodynothing282 Wrong, its impossible for a dog to be boring or unnecessary.
@@StarRain6I second that!
Look at the main actress interview where she says she played the game as prep work and compare it with rachel ziegler and the halo writers.
Nuff said.
she also lurked the fallout subreddit and other forums
@@bigbananadealer846that poor woman
Compare to The Witcher where Henry was the only one who didn't actively hate the source material. Because that's how you pick your writers.
@@JuicedOnKids lmao so true
Did you know there are female writers prominent on this show?
The way Lucy said "okey-dokey" towards the end. Her tone and overall demeanor changed. Just as her character evolved throughout S1. Brilliant way to show character growth by a mere response.
My favorite part was when Fallout Gurl said "I'm gonna fallout" and then fallouted
Her facial expression changed when fallouting great writing
She also uses it for more and more gruesome and extreme things throughout the series which I thought they executed very well.
My favorite line from her was when she said
“16x the detail 🤓☝️”
When it started I hated her for her blissful ignorance to the way life is outside the vault, by the end of the season I was in awe at her character development. Will say this showed us what can work when you put your heart into good character development.
Can't wait to see more of her character development in season 2.
Anyone else notice that maximus came out of the fridge like the ghoul kid in fallout 4
I like to think they're poking fun at Crystal Skull.
That's a great observation. I didn't connect that.
That's exactly what I thought!!😂
The kid you could choose to sell for some caps 😂😂😂
As he was drowning the raider in the pickle barrel, I couldn't help but chide him. I was like "Damn't Hank, you ruined the whole barrel! You can't afford that kind of food wastage when you're living in a Vault!"
I laughed so hard and I’m like “you just wasted all those pickles” lmao
He's a part of the limitless food vault (33), but I do feel this could work in the limited food vault (32).
@@gunargundarson1626 well that was a shitty spoiler to get as I’m finishing episode 7
Hank was accommodating him cuz the raider had a pickle fetish
@@thehorrorhound6575Same. Sucks people can't just shut the fuck up or keep spoilers to a minimum. Guess also my fault for reading the comments trying to see if the show really is worth watching.
Walton Goggins is one of the most underappreciated actors in the biz. Dude has crushed every role he has played from Boyd Crowder in Justified (one of the best TV villains ever) to his roles in Tarintino flicks to the cross dressing hooker in Super Troopers, it's all gold! I binged Fallout in one sitting and it blew my expectations out of the water, can't wait for season 2.
*Sons of Anarchy not Super Troopers
He’s not under appreciated he’s literally been given his flowers by so many filmmakers over the years
he's not underappreciated tho
I still call him Shane. Underrated from the 2000s he’s had a long hard road to get where he’s got. Well deserved.
“I’m the sheriff of redrockkk”
He'll forever be Boyd Crowder for me
"There you are little killer" is my favorite line of the show expertly delivered by Walton Goggins.
Ghoul is literally us players getting sidetracked to side quest 😅
"The wasteland has its own Golden Rule."
"Oh yeah?! And what's that?"
"Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time."
The Ghoul is essentially a Max Level Character. He’s already seen just about everything and is considered a legend after gunslinging through the Wasteland for over 200 years.
@@MrJH101 That's how I saw it, each protagonist is meant to be a different archetype of Fallout players. Lucy is the good karma level 1 character fresh out of the vault, Max is the neutral karma character at level 10-20, and then the Ghoul is obviously level 50 evil karma.
Maximus is every player who joined the brotherhood just to get the armour 😂
That quote had me dead lol
Well, there are 4 story lines. Lucy, Maximus, The Ghoul and the Vault. The vault might be a secondary one, but it becomes more important later.
The way they all cross and come together was really ssatisfying
Robert house in new Vegas?
Norman is definitely my favorite character. He is the only normal person in that vault of weirdos
@Milton2k so you're saying when it comes to the story, it's '4 times the detail'?
nah all three storylines have an A and B plot. lucy and her brother/vault stuff, ghoul and his prewar wife/life, then Maximus and his buddy
It puts halo to shame I love how they managed to get the feel of the game and actually respected the source material loved it
I know what a concept!
2 words jonathan nolan
Reboot Halo give it to Nolan and crew to fix
I mean it wasn’t perfect but was still extremely good 8/10 for me only drops in scores mostly because of the fact they killed the NCR offscreen which bummed me out as I was excited to see them but it didn’t completely ruin the show for me personally and some other things at the end that I won’t reveal for spoiler purposes that I was like eh did we have to go that direction but otherwise entertaining start to finish definitely better than halo despite some lore inaccuracies here and there with how the brotherhood acts and things with the ghouls it was still light years more accurate than the halo fanfic
Thats what perfect is the games weren't close to pulling it of but we enjoyed em ... This nailed it to a teeth watch we love about the games but at least we can finally show people something they might enjoy. I felt like a national geographic voice over for my family that they could get insight on the world and what was going on; this show did what it was supposed to. We as fans are lore masters now but we got people now who just like us want to see where this takes us. Thank you😅
I love how the first scenes with Lucy are almost like a character select where you choose the science, communication, charisma etc stats in the game.
The scientist dodged all the turret's bullets cuz he went hard into the Luck stat
Not even that, the turrets (at least in Fallout 4) are notorious for having the stormtrooper esc aim. Now not landing a single shot against the doctor while he's wearing zero armor is definitely a stretch, but the games do have the turrets shooting copious rounds at the player for the shear chance that even 10-20% land and damage the player. Which seems more dangerous at the beginning with little health and armor, but becomes almost comedic later in the game when the turrets need to land a bunch of shots to do significant damage and the player realizing just how many total shots need to be taken in order to do so.
Only 2 episodes deep and my family who know nothing about the IP loved it, they kept asking me what things were haha it was such a great game adaptation
That in my eyes is a success I got my family to binge watch it as well, it kinda infuriates me about the people complaining about lore inaccuracies.
i'm the gamer but had to stop my wife from bingeing the entire thing.
I wish I could get that feeling from the halo show 😔
16:11 - What I took from that was, Walton Goggins's character 'The Goul' was the inspiration for the famous pip boy thumbs up.
That's exactly what it was.
That was blatantly obvious.
He was the face for Buddy, the vaultech mascot. The pip boy is the computer on their arms.
No waaaayyyyy are you serious. Oh my gawd like wow...I mean like seriously wow
@@clintonchico9547isn't it Vault Boy? Is Buddy supposed to be their official name?
Them ditching the head, Noggins says that the digestion of the Gulpher is very slow. That's why he moves on to get drugs. Because for him not becoming feral is a top priority
When the line "war never changes" was mentioned. It gave me chills lol.
I waited for that line.
Threw my hands up in the air when they finally said it.
Yeah, so good. I actually said the line before the line was said. Knew it was coming but such a great moment.
Same, the build up to that moment and how well the show portrayed the game’s environment and tone.. I clapped at that line. So well done
Fun Fact: Overseer Pearson is played by Leslie Uggams, who also played Blind Al in the Deadpool movies. Glad she’s getting more work.
NICE CATCH, your right.
Knew that she was familiar from somewhere!
Preferred her as Blind Al!
I just Googled her and she's 80 years old. I thought she was around 60.
who?
Walter Goggins is a national treasure. Also, I'm hyped for 40k on Amazon given how they handled big, live action power armor so similar to Space Marine armour.
It would have to look hugely better than this. This was deliberately quite cartoony and comical looking.
@@JohnnyZenith I agree, but It's more the way it moves and interacts with normal sized, live action humans than the stylistic aspects I'm mostly talking about.
I can’t wait to see what Cavill and Amazon do with Warhammer
@@JohnnyZenith To be fair its about function over form!
The fallout armor design is kinda goofy. The power armor of the imperium would honestly have to be done in CG or at least cg enhanced for the action shots, more like Man Of Steel.
I imagine at first glance, the usual suspects would glance at Lucy without watching the show and go “wow, looks like Amazon is going woke once again,” but 1.) you’ve always had the choice to be a female protagonist in Fallout and 2.) she’s done very well from what I’ve seen so far. She’s not someone who’s immediately perfect like other Amazon shows. Hell, she’s far from it. She’s extremely endearing and friendly, but also horribly underprepared for what’s out in the wasteland with what she’s been taught in the vault. Like the guy with the glasses said, she needs to adapt if she’s gonna survive and so far, that’s what she’s slowly doing as she is exposed more to the wasteland.
I’ll reserve my full judgement for when I watch all of the show, but Lucy is a very engaging protagonist alongside Maximus’ brotherhood story and the Ghoul’s badassery.
Oh come on let's not act like that hasn't happened more often than not. The "usual suspects" are batting about .900 compared to you 😂
@@AngryDad. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen. I’m more pointing out the people who cry woke to literally everything and anything instead of just the actual examples where it’s legit hamfisted and artificial.
yeah people over use the term "woke" makes it nearly meaningless these days
Did anyone else see the Vaultboys and yell at the screen. "PICK IT UP!!! COME ON DO IT FOR THE GAMERS AND PICK IT UP!"
Surprised they didn't mention the clever reference to all the side quests from the games Goggins makes:
"Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time"
what? They did mention it.
@@luispalacios8423 Yep, they did indeed. Also snuck in the line "War. War never changes." This show is a loveletter to the Fallout games and fans of it, and i love it.
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed that line. Mark my words, it will be memed and connected to Fallout games from now on.
@@ZoldZsolt too bad that disappears as the series goes on

In ep 2 when the guy that directs her to Filly says "Yea, My Aunt, she died there once too". I lost my sh*t lmao. Also in ep 3 when they hold up the headshot to the decapitated body and go "Oh yea, that's definitely him."

@@BrightstoneGG let me guess, you thought borderlands 3 was a tear jerker didn’t ya?
Maximus dropping the gun during the fight with the Ghoul actually happened because the gun got shot out of his hand, which you can do in the games through V.A.T.S. by aiming at a person's weapon.
I’m stoked that Hank is on his way to see Mr House at the end 🔥
I was HOPING for that. Fuck yes.
Ehat ending is the cannon for new vegas, is Houe still alive in it. Because i always kill him.
@@edgarbriseno6210 I guess we will find out in Season 2. We killed Mr. House but perhaps this sets something else off. I guess it would depend on why our PC killed him as well. But killing him leaves a power vacuum, perhaps this opened up a takeover of New Vegas by Vault-Tec. Or maybe the the NCR was re-established there absent Mr. House, as Hank was persuing her.
With that ending I can’t wait for season 2

Spoiler comment.
I enjoyed it too but I'm not liking the idea that they may be retconning Fallout New Vegas since they mention that shady sands was wiped out I think it was shown 5 years or so before the events of fallout new vegas was to take place and shady sands was thee hub of the NCR so how could they be able to hold new vegas with their capital completely destroyed.
“You want to make my dick explode now?”
That ending did that to me haha
I love the Ghoul. He's such a badass.
That T60 Power Armor looks AWESOME and I want some IRL
I'd rather have some X-01 but I'd take T-60, preferably T-61b!
T-51b power armor is supposed to be the most advanced power armor in fallout universe before the war. T-60 is Bethesda made up power armor with no real background other than shoe horning it in fallout 4.
T-60b power armor with modified lining. A nod to cut content in Fallout 4.
@scottneil1187
I wonder if the Onclave comes into more debate in season 2 then we may see the X0-1 as its one that's kind of associated with them in previous games like fallout 2 and 3.
@@scottneil1187 Why don't you be more patriotic with a nice refreshing Nuka T-51 power armor? ;3
I think this series easily just took the entire Fallout universe straight to the cinematic screen. I had really high hopes with very low expectations starting it, and I was absolutely blown away. The distances they went had me literally guessing what's next. After finishing the series, I can honestly say that the worst part of the show was that it ended, and the next season is going to feel like it will take forever to get here.
No. It took fallout 4 only and did that. It's got nothing to do with New Vegas, Fallout 1 or Fallout 2.
@kinagrill Yeah, because it didn't have anything to do with the NCR, Shady Sands, California, or the ending scene wasn't New Vegas. You should probably go re-watch the show.
@@kinagrill I thought Fallout 4 was set in Boston on the east coast, while the show is in LA on the west coast.
I loved the first four episodes, _except_ for two things:
The slapstick moments in Episode 2 with the power armour flying around (absolutely crigeworthy), and the fact that the quick cut to the Brotherhood was done too early.
I think that we, as an audience, needed to see the Wasteland as a step-out moment, like in the games. By cutting to the Brotherhood before Lucy leaves the vault, it takes away from that.
But apart from that, I think it's really good! Some great little Easter eggs and set dressing too.
Agreed that moment with the power armour was the low point for me.
In episode 3 defense the ghoul says at the end about getting distracted by side quest bullshit. And the drugs are a side quest
You've completely missed the point, it's a reference to the games, you're always getting sidetracked while playing them.
@@scottneil1187 that is the point. I agree. I was just responding to what angry Joe said.
@@scottneil1187he didnt miss anything? Mayhap learn to read
i like how they made reference to gameplay and added character stories to main character backstory
What I loved about the show is how each storyline is so fleshed out. At first I thought Norman the brother would be this side screen character that only exists to prop up how brave Lucy is. Then she leaves and he gets an actual storyline, that came around to be my favorite in the vault and was so tense the entire time. Lucy, Ghoul are amazing. Maximus may be the only weak character, just feels like hes often just standing there saying nothing as things happen to him. But the show is still super good cant wait for the next season.
The last episode made me laugh because Maximus has the same basic expression when he’s unconscious as when he’s awake. Most of the time his face is completely immobile.
He's thee only thing I don't like about the series. Oh wait... The Michael Rappaport thing as well. So those are the TWO things.
Honestly Norm is my favourite character. The actor is fucking amazing, acting just with facial expressions.
Yeah, not sure if the Maximus actor was miscast or if he was told not to emote for some reason, but I did not care about him at all. The Brotherhood itself is a fine storyline, but Maximus needs to get more interesting next season.
the biggest and worst offender in the series, was not including Ron Perman doing war, war never changes. It should have been in the show somewhere and not giving it to a very minor character to just throw it out there.
That is so miscellaneous...who gives a shit? Just say the damn line.
I will say, I find it fascinating how the dog was used to humanize characters. For example we first see the ghoul injure the dog, reinforcing the impression that he is a bad person, yet after the shootout in Filly, he takes the time to heal the dog. Even if part of it is for the bounty, there most likely is some hint of humanity within the husk that remains after the bombs
You could take it that way... or... maybe he did it because he realized the dog was the best way to find it's owner.
(However, we get more clues he loves dogs later in the series.).
Its a very well known and well worn trope in fiction - wanna show a bad guy is a bad guy - have them kick a dog, wanna show a good guy is a good guy - have him be nice to the dog.
Looking forward to see the "Mysterious Stranger" save the day.😮
Oh shit!
People said Walter Goggins would carry the show. I'm so happy that is not the case, almost everything about the show is interesting and fun to watch.
Let's be honest though. Even if he doesn't have to carry it, his performance is definitely elevating it. I mean, dude is putting in the work, some of his best, and his best is better than most. Like, he's been building a fan base, acting in great roles in shows like Justified and movies like Hateful 8, but this is the show that could really catapult him into the stratosphere and make him a household name. If the ratings are there, and it feels like they might be. The irony of him playing a down on his luck actor when he's anything but. And he said it too, he's hoping for ten seasons. I hope his dreams come true, because I want to see where his character's story is going more than any other character.
He’s definitely one of the stronger characters but everyone was good across the board. Him, Lucy, and Maximus were all interesting in their own rights, hell even Norm
The Ghoul is outstanding,definitely the best character so far
@@gavinpowell4607 Not 100%,the show is quite strong off the bat
@@agentsmithmememenot really, the show is pretty bad/mediocre.
He’s definitely carrying the show, honestly if he wasn’t in it I don’t think people would like this show to much.
I know it sounds silly, but the last scene from third episode where Walton is doing the vault tec promo. I loved how it ended with the flash of the camera and his big smile. Very simple Scene but it Means so much. It looked like a guy smiling at the flash of a Nuke and I assume It's suppose its meant to be that way.
Just finished the season. Holy crap, I was not expecting such a well written story! It all gets tied together in the last 2 episodes, and it was fantastic.
I like how the vault dweller also had to deal a few times with the companions going haywire and murdering everyone while you yell at the screen to stop.
Yeah when Maximus in Power Armor started to wreck that second vault while we were like "NOOO STOP!" 🤣

The first guy killed with the junkjet was a Minuteman, also I like to think that the turrets completely missing the scientist was a little indication to him having a high Luck stat, which you'd probably need to escape the Enclave.

The show is already renewed for season two. Second season to be filmed in California.
Second season of the witcher was way better.
The Witcher season 1 was already shitting all over the lore in arrogant stupidity; it just got worse with every season.
Halo set the bar so low that anything else is going to look like Breaking Bad and The Wire in comparison.

This is such an arrogant and condecending thing to say lol. I feel sorry for people who think like you.

I would have been hilarious if Lucy tried to take as much as she could from the supermarket put it all in a giant backback and became encumbered. And had to put the backback down and take some stuff out so she could move normally again.
Missed opportunity for sure😂but the Squire bags was definitely a reference for that
Being a 90's kid I don't know if I should be excited or afraid for the next phase of Hollywood in video game adaptations but this brings me some hope.
I feel like the auto turret that misses is because the dog is special. Has like Capt America juice in her makes the right moves at the correct time.
The only little flaw imo. Sure, the turret might be a little inaccurate but spewing that much lead and hitting everywhere but them?, c'mon, even a stormtrooper isn't that bad!.
@@scottneil1187 nah see you can tell that the guy knows he needs the dog to make the right moves and get him around the corner.
this was a very stupid scene, couldve simply been edited better, i wonder why the editor showed a flat shot of probably 200 bullets fired from a high tech turret missing at 10 meters
I can only think that the turret was meant to make him stay still and not kill him, but yeah that part was really dumb
It’s because their Luck is at 10 😂
After Rings of Power’s utter dumpster fire of a first season I had literally no hope for this show. My god am I glad I was wrong. I’m 5 episodes in and holy f*ck it’s been great! Finally a show that does good by the established lore and the community that loves it. I love Fallout and I’m digging this show so far.
My girlfriend has no experience with fallout and she’s being loving it. Pausing the show to have me explain what a stim pak is or wtf a ghoul is 😂
With the gulper turning inside out:
I think the fingers go all the way down the throat, but they don’t bend backward. When Maximus is pulling the squire out you see the fingers straining, caught on the squires clothes. Maximus braces his foot on the anchor, and tugs. The fingers cause the gut to get turned inside out.
Seeing Matt Berry made me so happy. Caught his voice on the robot. Ramiro Djawadi’s score is fantastic as well.
The fact he plays the Mr Handy Voice actor and his last name is Codsworth was so good. Even explaining that Robco bought the rights to his voice from another company entirely is peak fallout.
45:50 The mutant bear that they fight is called a Yao Guai in the fallout universe
No it's called a plot device that maximus conveniently never explains to anyone is the reason why titus was nearly killed, considering it is a feared enemy in the franchise. His fxn proof was the marks on the damn armor.
All he needed to do was say he got separated from titus during the attack and arrived too late to "save him." No one would've second-guessed him.
@@jprec5174 Or maybe, just maybe, everyone knew Titus was a shit bag Knight, and no one batted an eye because he died like how the Elder guessed a coward like him would've died. Maximus played into the elders whole "Brotherhood going to shit," rant, and sprinkled a little truth and that was that
it was basically the same shit... maybe you should watch MBs Transformers or something lol
@@ryoud9783 send a coward and a suspicious squire to go find extremely valuable tech that you were willing to send an entire army after in the end. Yep uh huh.

I like the character development and what each main protagonist represents
Lucy: Despite what we are being told as kids or at school, being an altruist will more often than not hurt You.
Maximus: Being an egoist sometimes is simply the best option. Also, sometimes being open about something may be your doom.
Cooper: Being an ass may work, as some are just not suited for being part of team. But sooner or later you will find yourself in a situation completely out of your control and you will have to rely on good will of someone else.
Basically this world feels... real. Its not black and white. No character is completely good or bad. Sometimes you might think you are doing a good thing, while actually you are just destroying something.
The scene with Titus and the bear I thought was funny but really contrived. This experienced knight didn't pop some shots off and would rather stand there swearing and running after clearly being able to punch the bear off him? Behavior in service to the plot is what that was. Love the rest of the show though! Binged it the day it came out lol.
It fits with with bos. They are known for heavy mission failures due to their actions. They can still be killed in lower armor. Lol they are literally littered around the wastelands.
I genuinely am surprised how good this show is I’m having a great time with it. id even say its worth a rewatch. now i have the urge to replay Fallout 4
Same Here! It was so good, better than The Last of Us.

It's a reference to how you can build those turrets at your settlement and they barely ever hit anything even though they are firing off hundreds of 5.56 rounds.
1:26:24 I would disagree. Lucy is very naive. She just saw Cooper friend losing it, but she didn't know that they go crazy and attack, or eat people.
1:28:51 Well you have to look at it from his perspective. He's always been scourging for the drugs, and felt defensive about it. Probably would've hide some in his hat, and taken the box.
I took it that he had gotten high and was doing high things.
If only halo was given this treatment but amazon doing a good job on this gives me a little more confidence that amazon could handle there rumoured mass effect show
And their WH40k project. The power armor suit tech is going to come in pretty fucking handy in there.

thought the exact same thing about Space Marines. The way the squire interacted with whoever was in the power armor gave off major imperial soldier to space marine vibe.
Currently 4 episodes in. I love it. I have a few minor gripes but nothing to dwell on.
I like how Lucy is changing throughout the season, each new episode she gets darker and darker.
There was a little jump to her darkness at the end of episode 4, like out of no where she uses the F word and now she looks different when it comes to her attire. But at the same time she had her most frightening moments in that episode and maybe that’s enough for her to change and walk on her own.
1:18:50 Before they left the head the Ghoul said “Those gulpers digest mighty slow”…he knew he had time to go and return
I liked it better than Last of Us personally
Last of us felt a bit empty to me
@@UlyssesM yea I thought it was good just I think they needed more episodes for the way the told the story
I agree, and last of us needed more episodes it felt rushed and the relationship between joel and ellie should have been developed way more.
TLOU was good but they should've stretched that 1st game to a 2nd season.
@@stridix007 yep a lot of missed opportunity
I think this is the best videogame adaptation so far. You bring up the last of us and that show was great. But its just a zombie apocalypse with hivemind zombies.
This show is impressive. There is so much to the universe that it seems really hard to adapt into one story. But they were able to fit so much in. The vaults, mutated creatures, the brotherhood of steel, the ncr, ghouls, raiders, fiends, chems, etc.
Not only did they dump so much information on us, they did it in a way that was actually interesting
It's way, way more than just hive mind zombie apocalypse. It's a story about loss and redemption first and foremost.
@@scottneil1187 ...yeah, as are most stories. I'm just talking about adapting the larger world.
What about supermutants tho?

@@pedrokantor3997 I haven't seen it, I'm sorry.
1:12:30 was an obvious joke that gave me the biggest audible laugh personally, when you sprinkle in subtle jokes the whole time and then come out with a silly one like that it gets me
I agree about the power armor. At first I thought it looked very weightless and like it was obviously made of plastic but it eventually started to grow on me
Its up there with The Boys in my opinion for Amazon. Main cast is amazing and they nailed the world feel of Fallout. This has to be such a bizarre watch for someone whos never heard of Fallout lol. Some people complaing about DEI but it didnt feel forced for the most part or saying lore wise this group wouldnt accept this person etc. Also i count Norm as a main character, hes not really likeable in the first episodes when it cuts to his story but his later episode cuts are great and he grows. Lucy, Max and Norm all have well done story growth. Totally on board for season 2.
There will always be idiots crying woke etc. The grand majority, Nerdrotic and his braindead followers particularly, are just doing it for hate clicks. Saw literally nothing remotely like that in this show.
They didn't go heavy handed with the DEI like I feared, thank goodness. It does rear it's ugly head, but not enough to ruin the show in any significant degree. Honestly, Maximus' lame character was the only real issue I had with the show.
The only negatives I've seen people bring up and what I was referring to is Maximus's friend Dane being in the brotherhood. Played by a trans actor, trans man to be specific and people are debating if the brotherhood would be ok with it lore wise. I wasn't feeling Maximus for a few episodes minus some funny moments with the armor and I couldn't figure out why. Then when they get to vault 4 I realized what I don't like is he has resting dumb face. When he's not acting or speaking he just looks bored or like he's not listening or thinking about something else. I like his character by the end, but man the plot did him no favors by acting like a moron over good food or him trying to punch someone in power armor while having a gun in his other hand. I can see how he's most peoples least favorite of the three.
@KevinKeys-KK you're spot on about Maximus' constantly bland expression. His extremely unfitting nerdy voice also didn't help. All in all, he's the furthest thing away when I think of Brotherhood of Steel squire or knight, at least when I consider the way he behaves along with his expression. He'd probably make a good scribe.
No way the moldy helmet is back lol
best part of the show was hands down, rapaport kicking the bucket, in a situation he should've aced. we see just one scene later how much more powerful the armor makes you. that yao was one optimal deck away from sleeping again, and the rapa couldn't even do that.
dude is just UGH.
I applauded his demise!
I honestly thought when she left the Vault that story would end. I was surprised to see they went back but I assumed there was more to the Vault after seeing how far it went down. Then in the reprimand they announce there was 3 Vaults inter-connected and that peeked my interest a lot. I thought that was a really cool idea and very Fallout.
I binge watched all 8 when they released and it's a great series from start to finish!
Me too.
thanks to Johnathan Nolan.
who wouldn't its like playing a fallout game where you start at like 8 in the morning and dont finish your first part of a play through untill midnight and your only like 10% of the game
@@johnniewalker3134you’re*
Joe when the Ghoul abandons the head seemingly kinda fast, he does say he's "got time, gulpers digest really slowly" so him getting more drugs to not turn feral is more important. Especially cuz they hinted that since he one of the oldest known ghouls in the area maybe he can turn quicker without em. (Even though in the games there's plenty of "pre-war" aged ghouls, and the drug doesn't exist)
1:06:24 they only send one because they actually send many to different locations like a search grid
Cooper said gulpers digestion is slow and the chems take precedence plus he drops my favorite line while doing it
“Thou shall get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time”
Amazon has also done a great job adapting the works of Philip K Dick, with both shows electric dreams and particularly the Man in the high Castle, which is one of my favorite shows
Unitil they totally screwed it up and ruined it and rushed it as it was cancelled.
Electric Dreams was produced by Channel 4, Amazon just bought the rights to show it in USA
The first two seasons of MITHC were amazing. However when the nazis decided to experiment with multi dimensional domination, thats where it went downhill for me. ( I could suspend my disbelief with the Nazis having the logistical resources to conquer North America, but time travel was too much of a shark to jump)
I am guessing that was part of the source material too
I was there for the first episode filming of Man in the High Castle. That episode was actually filmed at a dive bar in Seattle called the Quarter Lounge. I used to live right across the street. Random useless fact, but it was cool to see my local bar in the show.

when they start introducing the Vault storyline i really like the foreshadowing that Betty says to Norm about when regular boys get angry they piss on the walls and when clever boys get angry thats something for everyone to be worried about"" - like Norm has a really smart family, dad is the overseer and runs the place (reliable, trustworthy all that stuff) and Lucy is like a jack of all trades (that we see in her intro) and brave enough to look for their dad so im hoping they give Norm a really good story line
Have u all noticed something interesting though? This show has both a black main character and a female one like some of these other pandering shows but unlike them there has been no backlash at all, why is that? Its because unlike them this show does it the proper way making u enjoy these characters not to mention actually making them human.
Lucy is not some mary sue like most females currently in films. She gets her ass beat tons of times, used as bait and even forced to drink bad water that prob has pee in it. Shes shown to be an actual strong female that grows from her ass beatings instead of being some chosen god.
Maximus is not a stereotype or some black character fighting for some equal status hes just a man that was saved by the brotherhood and dreamed of becoming a knight. Hes constantly beaten and disrespected not because of the color of his skin but because hes a green rookie. It truly makes u respect the character through all his hardships not to mention he has a good heart despite being ready to do bad deeds which makes him easier to understand.
Our cowboy ghoul is honestly also an amazing character being that even though hes a badass skilled at fighting and survival the man has allowed himself to become a monster from the good man he was. Plus when u watch his backstory thats when u truly begin to understand unlike the other 2 his downsides are more emotional.
All in all this show truly shows that having a diverse cast is perfectly doable and fine with fans if u write them well without destroying other established content in the series. People are mostly only vocal about it when its done just to check boxes and this show proves just that as its only being praised.
There is tons of backlash and people calling Lucy a Mary sue, for one example you can watch Synthetic Man’s review where he complains about race mixing and other non-issues, or even just read through the comments on this video.
I agree with pretty much everything you’re saying though, they definitely made actual characters with flaws which is what makes great characters.

I tried so hard to get my brother to play Fallout but he never had an interest in it. I started watching episode 1 and my brother decided to watch it for me. I was so happy to see him get fully engaged with the story through the series. It was so fun to binge at once for the 8+ hours it too to fully watch.
I am halfway through S1 and I am personally enjoying the random weird encounters the main characters are having with some of the denizens (similar to the npcs in the games) and the amount of looting going on 👍.
When she waves and says hi at the couple weaving through the ruined cars. They pretty much ignored her. Like a non talking NPC does in videogames lol. I notice it happens more than once Also, listen to the market people and how they interact.
You can even get this feeling when there's a stat check that either passes or fails. When Max asked for the discount on the repair, it instantly gets denied. Or when Lucy walks into the middle of the active shootout. They all pause and talk. It's a total Fallout move.
They were so faithful to the original even the combat feels just as light as it does in game! All in all besides the questionable fight choreography it was a blast to watch, loved it.
I’m sad that a “season” was only eight episodes; but I really enjoyed all of them.
This could be the best show in the last five years!
Good balance between 3 primary character plots. Plenty of teasing for season 2, and references to DLCs (Big Mt, Casinos, etc). Definitely loved the New Vegas tease.
The reason that the lurker monster threw Lucy up was because it was overdosing on the Ghoul's bag of drugs that Lucy threw in its mouth.
I wonder if the people in the show are going to t pose and clip through walls cause that would be the most accurate.
pretty sure this is Fallout, not Cyberprank 2077
In Fallout 3, i used to see Protectrons walking high up in the air from time to time. There were also Deathclaws falling from the sky.
One way they could pull that off would be them sleeping on the bed T posed lol
Its not Cyberpunk 2077 TV Show.....its fallout
I cant wait for the seen where the main character gets locked into a dialogue with a side character and in the distance comes running a Deathclaw who the side character is oblivious to until they get smacked.
(Spoiler!)
One thing I thought was kinda weird is that at the beginning of the show the ghoul struggled dealing with Maximus even though at the end of the show he knows that he can shoot through the bottom part of the t-60’s torso plate armor.
I took it as he had forgotten.. and remembered this stuff via the flashbacks we witnessed and iirc he recalled that flaw in one of them
I had the same thing with the power armor! At first it looks weird but over time it looks decent
Does it though? Are you sure the word COSPLAY didn't go through your mind once or twice?
@9:20
Very good point comparing the Last of Us with the Fallout show. Last of Us's storyline is pretty straightforward, a zombie survival while Fallout's universe is much more diverse. Must be challenging for the writers of the Fallout show to somehow incorporate everything.
