    I watched the first 2 episodes last night and I loved it. I think it hits different if you're a fan of the games though. Seeing some of the stuff in a material format was amazing. The multiple protagonist angle has been done but they rarely come together that quick. There's a moment in episode 1 that is a solid example of dramatic irony(the audience knows something a character does not) that everyone should watch for. The opening scene was extremely well done.
    Sadly that's all I can say without spoilers.

  • @newdefsys
    @newdefsys 6 месяцев назад +1

    I just watched the pilot and its surprisingly entertaining. Ella Purnell offered a great performance as a vault dweller, oblivious to the world outside of her vault and Walton Goggins is already irreplaceable as the ghoul. But Aaron Moten's interrogation scene struck a particular cord. I'll be watching for more scenes with him.

    • @UglyKenHart
      @UglyKenHart 5 месяцев назад

      Watching more episodes with him, I like him a lot. He and Lucy both have a certain naivety from their isolated upbringing, but his time in the Brotherhood gives him a dispassionate distance from the violence of the wasteland, whereas Lucy is still adapting to it and using her innate pragmatism to survive. Both are very charming together, and their interactions as a duo can be both incredibly dark AND surprisingly wholesome.

    I would say each character feels like a fallout protagonist.
    Kinda like Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics had default player characters to choose.
    What impressed me is how mood was different from each backstory.
    Lucy is like Bethesda Fallout Protagonist.
    Ghoul is like The Courier from New Vegas.
    The Knight is... He reminds me of someone but I cannot put my finger on it yet.
    Edit.
    Ohhh, I think he might remind me Desert Rangers.

Had they not set up the story to have vault ,31,32,33 all linked with the overseer of 31 responsibile for the other two vaults: they made way too many isses for me to ignore. As 31 would have been alerted to 32s overtake and not to mention Lucy's wedding dress and them mentioning meeting the other dwellers every few years for weddings. So you would have know there was an issue as soon as the door opened and it just spiraled from there...

    Was so skeptical going into watching this series but its pretty dang good. If someone is bashing on it really hard, ask them if their favorite Fallout was New Vegas. If they say yes then you can pretty much discount anything they say because NV fans are NEVER happy with anything Bethesda related. I don't really care much for how the BoS is portrayed but it seems to be a running joke with Fallout to change the BoS every time a new game comes out so that checks with this. Want to see more Enclave and hoping to see some X-01 armor (Im about halfway through the season).

    My love of post apocalyptic stuff began back in the 70's, when the first series of the original version of Survivors was on BBC1. In primetime. I doubt it would get to go out as early as it did nowadays. I was eight and a half [approx]. We only had three tv channels none of which were on all day. So you watched all TV you could. It was habit. But it captured my imagination. And the thought of life after the collapse of civilisation has always interested me as a setting since. I would walk home from school and daydream about being the last survivor in my neighbourhood. I would move into one particular house because it looked big. And I would find an abandoned lorry at a nearby busy road and there would be a cargo of androids in there. I would activate them all and...then I'd get home and other things took priority.
    I'm not a gamer so had never actually heard of Fallout till this was announced. I will give it a go.

      I think binging just gives you less appreciation for the material. Watching 1-2 eps and then taking some time to absorb/reflect on what happened before moving to the next. With binging, you just kind of blaze through the whole thing and then promptly forget most of it.

    Possible Spoilers
    If you thought there was a bit too much blood and gore then you have never taken the "Bloody Mess" perk!🤣
    I did binge watch it and I also found a few things I didn't care for. For example, instead of jet packs, for some reason they decided that they would have jets in their arms. Another thing is that at times it seemed to drag, but over all I enjoyed it.
    I think they did a pretty good job with the characters you would find in the game and much of the humor is a dark kind that comes from the situations our "heroes" find themselves in instead of just slapstick. My favorite joke was when the ghoul alluded to the fact that every time they try to do the main storyline, they get side tracked by side quests!😆
    My biggest problem is that it is basically a love story to the fans of the games but others might not be able to enjoy it as much by missing a lot of the humor and lore.

    Nice review, seems like it might be pretty cool.
    On the Amazon originals thing - remember that it's not always Amazon that starts/ comes up with something (maybe that's often the case?)
    For example - Hazbin Hotel. Not sure if they present it as an "Amazon original," but they probably do. It started out completely independently as a pilot on YT (released 2019). It got really popular as far as indie animation. A24 picked it up, got the deal with Amazon, and Season 1 finally premiered earlier this year.
    I get not everyone will like it, but imo, it's absolutely awesome!
    The sort of sister show, Helluva Boss (its pilot also came out in 2019), is on YT, still independent, and is also great (imo). I've been more into them than any other shows than I have been in a *long* time.

    I really have to admit against my initial judgement, I checked out Fallout, and I am glad I did. I do love the series and think it has plenty of fun easter eggs for longtime fans of the video games. That being said, I had a few issues with it. First of which is sticking with the Fallout 4 Weapon Design for the show. Almost every gun looked chunky and unwieldy. I can understand the BOS weapons being so, but every other weapon looking that way is a bit dumb to me. Additionally, the lack of Ghouls overall in the wasteland kinda drives me nuts since they are pretty heavily populated in their spread across the wasteland. I think I counted less than a dozen total. Course, the final gripe I have is one I also have with Game of Thrones, which I watched recently. That being the lack of clear passing of time. Game of thrones is supposed to take place over something like 5 years, but other than some younger characters aging or statements of time passing, it doesn't feel like it takes place more than over a couple weeks when watching the main cast. Same with Fallout. It is supposed to take place over weeks, but it just feels like a few days. A great way of showing the passage of time was the head, but they didn't do an excellent job of it. The head itself just seems to turn grey and bloat. But in a hot, dry environment like is shown, it would be mummified from the dry climate in a couple weeks or outright skull and a few veterbrae over the course of a month. It would have been really cool for Bethesda to show the head as being wrapped in a cloth to hide how it looks for most of the later episodes and then reveal it has turned into something resembling a mummy or shrunken head.
    Still, those are just my opinions
