FALLOUT (2024) EPISODE 2 REACTION - WE ARE LOVING THIS! - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to the Fallout (2024) show.
On episode 2 of Fallout we get to see a huge mutated radiated bear, we got to spend some more time with Lucy as she discovers the Wastelands and we got an awesome fight sequence with The Ghoul Vs. Maximus in his newly acquired T-60 suit.
Fallout (2024) is the gripping new Amazon Prime Video series based on the iconic video game. Starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan, with visionary direction by Jonathan Nolan, this adaptation brings the beloved game to life in thrilling fashion.
Jonathan Nolan did such a great job bringing this world to life. As newcomers we thought the exposition was delivered in a very simple yet effective manner. The cinematography looked absolutely stunning and the set design is truly out of this world. Lucy is such a magnetic character. Her charisma and values create a stark contrast once she ventures into the real world giving us a fresh take on the fish out of water trope.
Ella Purnell's portrayal of a resilient survivor, Walton Goggins as a cunning antagonist bring depth to this chaotic new world. Jonathan Nolan's direction ensures a cinematic experience, masterfully blending intense drama with the dark humor and iconic elements of the Fallout universe. The show excels in both storytelling and visual spectacle, making it a standout addition to the genre.
We hope you enjoy our reaction, discussion, commentary and review as we delve into the themes and topics that make this show so enjoyable to us.

LPS that bears mixed with a werewolf mixed with radiation would call an Abomination werewolf bear is a type of hybrid creature this thing is massive
21:04, yeah theirs been a few references. Like the food you see when lucy is walking into town, theirs actually baked iguana and other foods you can find, make, and eat if you're low on health and out of stimpaks. Also, the weapons that lucy sees on the wall are indeed weapons you can find in the game, the one on top is a junk jet and the one below it is a laser rifle.
While the laser rifle is self-explanatory, the junk jet is unique and is only in fallout 4, (as far as i know). Because you see, in fallout 4, there's a massive crafting system in the game, where you can make a variety of things, from weapon modifications, to armor, to building and maintaining friendly settlements. All you need is the right perks and materials. While perks are earned through leveling up, the materials you must find in the form of junk, which is basically anything handheld and isn't nailed down, if it's both of those things, then you can collect it. But back to the junk jet, what makes it so cool is that any piece of junk you collect can be used as ammunition, from blades to small appliances, to bottles, basket balls, pencils, heck, I've even seen a player take a raider's head off by launching a teddy bear! The junk jet is one of the most wackiest weapons you can get in the game, and there are plenty more like it in fallout 4 and the other fallout games.
Sadly though, the pistol that the ghoul used in the show is not in any of the games. 😔
You guys going to do more reaction on this channel about the Fallout TV show or some parts showcase
you guys should play the games!! The references in the show will start to make a lot more sense. I recommend fallout 3, fallout new vegas, and fallout 4. you can start with whichever you like, they're all self contained stories.
I can't comment on all the games, but if you're gonna try any I think you should go for Fallout 4, the start of the game will explain a lot. For me, this is very similar to Fallout 4 in so many ways, but like I said I can't comment about the other games. Great reactions though, loving them. "Do we trust the dog though?" made me laugh and I thought "You've seen the thing" just as you mentioned it. 🤣
You can just tell Walton Goggins is having the time of his life with his role. Glad he's getting more credit as an actor.
Always great seeing an actor have so much fun with a role. He gets to be front and center every time he’s on-screen and he’s absolutely killing it.
Other than the grueling make up
The ghoul makeup must take god only knows how many hours. That part probably isn’t enjoyable.
Boyd crowder, Lee Russell, uncle baby Billy, he absolutely nails every role
He played a similar but more restrained character in the show Justified. Absolutely worth checking out.
Lucy talking to the water farmer with her gun pointed at him is actually a neat little nod to the games, where players often leave their weapon equipped when talking to NPCs, so from their perspective they’re talking to someone who has a gun pointed right at their dome the whole time!
And not to mention Lucy trying to pass a speech check with the ghoul and fails miserably 😂
And in those games sometimes you don't enter conversation mode even though the npc is talking to you so you still keep pointing your gun at them and can accidentally shot them.
There's even a split second where she looks at the gun in her hand, looks back at the guy, then looks back at the gun with a really confused look on her face.
Phenomenal acting!!
The mutated Bear (a Yaoguai), the two headed cow, the Junk Jet hanging on the wall, the vault suits, the pib boys on Vault dwellers wrists, the CRAM meat, it's all straight out of the games.
The references to the games are constant and endless, multiple in almost every scene lol
"She steals dads!" Possably my favorite line in the whole show!
Right up there with "Ass jerky don't make itself"
Mine is
"there's no fudge here!"
Mine is SPOILERS
Oh, you want another autograph young Henry?
At first, I thought The Ghoul resurrecting the dog was him still having a heart. Then I remembered he could also be using him to track the scent. Could it be both? We'll never know.
Either way, I'm happy the dog didn't stay dead.
We will know, by Episode 8.
The Ghoul gives a genuine little smile when 4 perks up, it’s the only time we see him smile, perhaps his first good moment in a long while.
will be revealed why he did it a later episode. very specific reason other than the tracking..
14:16 it was, actually! They shot the entire Fallout series on 35mm film, to get that technicolor look, then edited the series digitally!
No wonder it looks so beautiful! I love the artifacts that shooting on film produces. I know it’s not for everyone but it’s something I appreciate 😃
Oooh, hadn't heard that but it makes a ton of sense. Such a beautifully shot show.
The makeup on Walton Goggins is so good that not only did he terrify Ella, but apparently himself as well as we learned yesterday 😂
He looks so menacing! But Walton Goggins is pulling off the look!
Knight Titus running away from the bear is sort of a play on gamers trying to run away from an enemy in Fallout when they know they are in over their head
aint no one running from a yao guai in a t60
*Yao guai roars nearby*
Knight Titus: "Fuck."
*Me emulating the DiCaprio Once Upon a Time in Hollywood whistling gif*
Step 1: Get yourself a suit of Power Armor
Step 2: Go explore a cave thinking you're some kind of badass
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: Flee from cave with 2 HP left, shouting "fuckfuckfuckohshitfuckfuck" getting chased by deathclaw/yao guai/swarm of cazadores
If you're playing Fallout 4, find the traveling merchant Cricket. Get enough caps and buy Spray n Pray. It's a unique SMG,a Tommy gun that fires explosive rounds. Shreds anything in the game quick... including yourself, if you're close enough to the target to be in the radius of the explosions .
And it fits comedically as well because Fallout is a wacky and satirical series. it's also funny cause of how unexpected his reaction was because hundreds of shows and movies make a powered character automatically confident and badass.
Michael Rappaport is all of us gamers who get surprised by a strong adversary while doing a side quest. You KNOW you are not equipped to handle it and just yell "F. F. F." while trying to escape 😂
Like the first time you run into a deathclaw?
I haven't played Fallout before, but I certainly played other games where a side quest flattened me out of nowhere! After watching this series, I would love to try it.
Nice, that did not cross my mind at the time. So cool
Love all the game references in these. Even though we also haven’t played fallout there’s a lot of little hints like a “minimap” and whatnot. Loving this show so far!
@@perki1573 In Fallout, it can literally be just a cave somewhere.
Not even a side quest, just hey, whats in here OH MY GO---
Im pretty sure "Filly" is named for being on a landfill. It makes sense as landfills tend to be away from cities (that are nuclear craters) and full of junk to be recovered. I can imagine a mining operation digging through the layers looking for usefull material. 🤔
Goggins is one of those quality supporting actors that has been in sooooo many things. Glad to see him get a massive piece of such a hit show.
The beauty of the "fuck, fuck, fuck" scene is that no matter how geared up and overpowered most fallout players have panicked and ran at least once lmao
Cazadors
@@RaptorNX01 Fucking Cazadors.
- Being a jerk to his follower for no reason and making him carry his junk
- "I'm bored, I want to shoot something"
- Overestimates his abilities and panicking when the enemy turns out to be too strong
- Whining when he doesn't get healing immediately
Titus was truly the most gamer character in this series.
😂😂😂😂😂
A note on the intro: I personally believe that the "keep calm" display on the turret is a nod to the *laughable* inefficiency of placable turrets in the games... if you don't remain calm and stand still it won't hit you no matter the amount of lead it throws at you.🤣
Best regards
Raoul G. Kunz
Exactly. Wilzig and 404 don't even run that fast, they kinda just jog past but the turret, so true to Fallout, misses most if not all of its shots since the target is in motion.
Just now realized the Knight that Maximus let die is Michael Rappaport, aka the cop that Phoebe dated for a time in Friends. I knew he looked familiar.
He was also in Justfied along with Walton Goggins.
True Romance, alongside Christian Slater
The turret part in the beginning might look a little goofy onscreen, but it's a reference to the game. Those type of turrets can't hit shit in the game. They spray a ton of bullets but miss everything more than 5 feet away.
Hahaha Love that they included that little detail here.
Yeah, I saw other reactors complaining about that but it is 100 percent true to the game. Turrets are hilariously useless in the game.
@@patrickwaldeck6681 Actually, the Mark 3 turret and above, put up high in twos and threes, wreck things if you plan out where best to site them ;) MK1 turrets do suck
Yeah but those crappy game turrets fire like 3 rounds per second, in the show it fired like 20 per second. If that's what they were going for I dunno why they made the turret a freakin led storm that wouldn't need to aim. x'D
@@CuddleCakez Humour and to save money perhaps?
because crafting a two barreled machine gun in 5.56mm from a pair of SAWs, sort of like the game has, would cost more than hiring an existing minigun etc :)
One thing I really love about the show is that they don't shy away from how the Brotherhood of Steel suck.
Their whole purpose is to "find and reclaim" old technology for when it's time to rebuild, but (as Tidus points out) they have no moral issue sending thirty people to their deaths to find a toaster oven.
But what makes it even worse is that they don't USE any of the technology they find; they're just hoarding it. They have tons of technology that can improve everyone's lives, including their own, but they won't touch any of it because it's for "when we rebuild society". There's a subplot in one of the games where a Brotherhood outpost is dying out, all their knowledge will be lost...but even though they have the technology to save themselves they won't use it because that's not how they think.
Damn that’s kinda sad if you think about it. Holding out for a time that might never come and have thousands die until then is quite dire.
@@OfficialMediaKnights One of the central themes of the entire series is how there are all these big power groups that are trying to "fix" or "restore" the world (to their own definitions of those terms, of course) but they can't work because they're too focused on the past that got them to this point to begin with. They're trying to fix the world by emulating the groups and ideas that got them there in the first place.
Yep, the tension between hoarding technology and using it is a central part of the East Coast Brotherhood's actions in Fallout 3.
I do get lot's of Cesar's Legion vibes out of this partical BoS sect... Fan theory is that some point BoS that assimilated Ceasar's legions and as BoS sect's differ wildly since having pretty much 0 interaction with other BoS sects... but yeah, if someone organized, they're probably evil or having some things going on that can be considered immoral... unfortunately.
The BoS sort of depends on the chapter, aka the game devs at the time. But I think idea isn't that they are saving the tech for later, so much as they are saving society from the mistakes of some tech, that in their view goes too far, and plays god. Like in Fallout 4 they have no issue using a rebuilt Liberty Prime, but they think lifelike synth robots go to far. Of course they are hypocrites, either way. Because Fallout gonna Fallout.
In the facility at the start all dogs under weight were incinerated, the doggo he saves is just under but he can't let it die. So he trains it himself. The gurney you see going past with the hand hanging off is being hinted on at being a super mutant.
Yes!! It broke our hearts to see them incinerate the dogs that were underweight, no wonder he chose to save one! Also that hand gave us chills and we need more info asap!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Wilzig works for "The Enclave" shadowy, high tech scumbags whom have been major enemies in several of the games. Higher ups are truly evil but some of the ordinary folks are ok and even defect. The Enclave = the "M.I.C." ;)
Fortunately their numbers are small after several major losses to the Brotherhood, NCR and others
The turret being so useless is a nod to the game lore: Mark 1 turrets SUCK, lol, lousy accuracy, in Fallout 2 if you sneak up on them you find some guards bitching about how they have to do guard duty even though there's turrets around the base because the Enclave are greedy shmucks and didn't pay for better turrets ;)
Mutants aren't just caused by radiation but also the "Forced Evolutionary Virus" (FEV), pre-war the US experimented with really shady stuff and made mutants to create trouble for the Chinese...except the creatures and virus escaped!
@@OfficialMediaKnights There will be some information about Super Mutants in a later episode. Also, that facility belongs to the Enclave which already existed before the bomb falls as a shadow goverment. You'll hear about their ideas how to make sure that humanity survives in a later episode.
Also: Yes that was a rad roach in the darkness around the campfire and that big animal was indeed a mutated kodiak bear called Yao Guai. And no the ghul isn't indestructable - he said it himself after Lucy shot him with the Syringe Gun: He's filled to the brim with drugs of all sorts.
What I don't understand is why Wilzig recorded the dog's weight as 10 oz (NOT underweight). If he was going to secretly keep the dog for himself, wouldn't he want the log to indicate that the pup had been terminated at birth?
@@michaelhoward142 not really, then he would have to justify a dead dog, falsifying the records meant the dog was catalogued, just wrong info.
the Dog is also part of the Game, his name is Dogmeat (no joke 😆), you can have him as companion, also for combat
Oh wow! That is so cool! Can’t wait to play these games man 😃
Yes. And Dogmeat can find out water or ammo hidden or even warning about any trap or enemy nearby.
@@OfficialMediaKnights yeah, a word of warning though. If you're going to play fallout 4. When you're choosing your difficulty, understand that it effects your character and the enemies you face, especially in terms of damage. For example, if you play on easy difficulty, your character will be able to take a lot of damage, but so will your enemies. Same thing for hard difficulty, where both you and your enemies do a lot of damage to each other.
Frankly, if you want a good balanced playthrough, i recommend you play on normal difficulty and invest in your damage dealing perks early on. I'm just trying to warn you about this mechanic because when i first played fallout 4, i played the game on easy, and by the time i was late in the game, i had to empty 4 mags worth of bullets into human enemy, who wasn't even wearing a shirt, much less any armor, and that was even after i changed the difficulty.
DOGMEAT! Here boy! Let me transfer some stuff with you.
@@bostonianfulThat’s not how damage scaling works with the difficulty settings. Enemies will both take and do more damage on hard and very hard. Only survival increases lethality across the board.
I swear every time i see Michael Emerson in anything, he's always playing some mysterious character haha but he does a good job at it
You can tell by the WTF look on the Ghoul's face when he heard "stand down", that he recognized the machine voice. He was a soldier before the bombs dropped and knew what power armor was. Which was later confirmed by the response "you gotta be f**king kidding me".
1. No spoilers.
2. "You gotta be kidding me" confirms absolutely nothing other than this 200 year old ghoul has seen a Brotherhood Knight before and it's gonna be an inconvenience to his mission.
@@GhostWatcher2024 No spoilers given. First episode we learned that he was in the marines (if he was infantry, there is a very good chance he has seen and driven power armor). In this episode he told Maximus that "I guess basic training ain't what it use to be", "you drive that thing like a shopping cart" and "you should read the manual first" before cutting a very specific hose.
Yet it's one of the show biggest plot holes. He can't handle Maximus in power armor... And at the same time we know what he does to power armors in the last episode. Doesn't make sense.
Another sillyness is a minigun turret missing every bullet from 5 meters away.
@@vubevube Your power armor reveal IS a spoiler for those who haven't seen the whole series yet (but, here is a small hint: notice the type of ammunition he was loading while talking to the knights). The minigun scene is a dis at the Mark 1 machinegun turret from Fallout 4. Because there is no auto targeting (or laser targeting) for that weapon, it will spray small caliber ammo over an area in an attempt to hit the target. The barrel on that gun is very short, so the more distance from the target the less accurate the rounds are going to be. Every meter counts.
@@kel5423 a spoiler? All i said was that the goul will meet someone in power armor again. Pretty reasonable thing to assume and very vague.
This show is absolutely mind-blowing! There's a lot of accuracy to the games too. Really excited to see your reactions to this epic series!
We have been absolutely LOVING this show thus far and are so happy we got to share it with y'all!! Thank you for the support!
As a huge Fallout fan, I loved this show. It understood the games vibes. I reall felt like I was starting a new Fallout game with this show. Lucy, Maximus and the Ghoul give you the vibes you can have as a player. Lucy is trying to be lawful good in a world that doesnt work like that, while the ghoul goes absolutely ham. Maximus is the player who tries to do good but feel power trip rushes everytimes he finds a new weapon XD
Producers: How many western vibes do you want to have in this episode?
Jonathan Nolan: Yes.
Ahahahah facts!
You guys mentioned in the previous episode reaction being curious as to how much in game stuff was being referenced in the show... honestly, pretty much every scene is packed full of stuff straight out of the games, from the little details like Nuka Cola bottles etc. through to the major themes on how the world works. It's amazing to me that they managed to make that happen, and still make the entire world feel congiguous and natural even to people who have never played the games!
Just a couple of specific gaming examples - Lucy greeting the wasteland dude wearing underpants while pointing a gun in his face references how when you are gaming, you usually by default (and certainly in Fallout games) still have your gun equipped and raised, so you are litterally pointing a gun in the face of NPCs when you talk to them.
Maximus carrying that huge and heavy bag while squiring for Titus - well, Maximus is the NPC henchmen at this point, and so Titus (the player character) dumps all of his heavy inventory juink onto him to carry 🙂
The "Remain Calm" on the turret is funny as hell
I don't think I've ever seen you guys post immediately the day after. Outside of maybe Return of the King. This was an unexpected surprise.
Good catch! This was a bit of a thank you to all of you for the support these past few weeks ❤️
11:47 the way this guy moves, it is exactly like the "loser NPC" from Fallout 1 and 2, I love it. These are slow hunchbacks who take their time to move, even during combat.
The Vault Suits were made with niche Italian fabrics to avoid a spandex look. So many small design decisions add up to make this show just look GREAT.
Desert locations were shot at Namibia.
They went the extra miile and it pays.
I just realised when Lucy was pointing the gun while talking to the water filter guy (NPC). It reminded of me not putting my weapon away when talking to an npc.
It was shot on film.
The thumbs up thing from the last episode, you're right that it could have gone really badly. But it was extremely well-written, it was shot in an interesting way where we don't see the first bomb fall, and that adorable little actress playing the Ghoul's daughter acted that moment beautifully. She's not in the series very much , and scene is probably her stand out in this season.. It needed to be good, and she was good, and the director got that good performance out of her.
Chef's kiss, I could watch the opening scene with Walter Goggins and the little girl again, and again, and again.
Maybe she will get to do some flashbacks or something. She did so well it would be nice to know the exposure gets her more parts as she ages.
I reckon that too - she was amazing for that short time we saw her on screen. Absolutely sold it.
@@SnaFubar_24 I've got to think that we will see the scene where she and Coop part. Because the Ghoul is looking for his family. And last we knew, the two of them were together.
Now, maybe he managed to drop her off with his ex wife so she could get into a Vault. Maybe he didn't and she lived out a life on the surface, had children, and his ex somehow got a hold of them. But either way, we've got to see at least a little more.
@@jenniferhanses I agree, I'm counting on knowing more of that story as the series progresses. They created characters that leave us many questions they could delve into. I really enjoyed season 1.
I love how Michael Rapaport just played himself.
That was a hand of a Super Mutant on the gurney that you guys saw at the Enclave (where the guy had the dog at the beginning). They're a common enemy type in the games, almost as common as raiders and insect enemy types.
14:40 "Iguana On A Stick" was a common food item in the games.
cant w8 until the last third when it all start to click together :)
Haha we are so pumped to continue the show and unravel all the mysteries!! Thanks for the support!!
Max haters think they can just use a 10mm gun(a starter weapon in the games mind you) to shoot a giant irradiated bear in a dark, confined space of a cave and somehow come out on top. Had that happened, the would have cornered Max and that cowardly knight would have taken that opportunity and left his expendable squire as a sacrifice and tried to get away. Instead he got a headshot off outside, in broad daylight, while the bear was vulnerable. It's just logic.
Also, that jerk of a knight already told Max what he was gonna have done to him had he saved him. What a dummy, what do people expect max to do? Save the knight and then immediately get his butt merced by the knight or sent to camp and get executed? Haha seriously though, that was his only choice. Again it's just logical, logic which seems to escape the haters. Love the reaction once again!
It's like Fallout 4 and he has the boosted damage upgrades and the Luck Legendary effect
@@rubenlopez3364 yes! Def luck! I disagree with the idiot and low int comments a bit. I think he just has low Charisma and Communication/Barter stats lol. He is perceptive though(see bridge). Quickdraw baby.
The juxtaposition of seeing cute newborn puppies to immediately throwing them in an incinerator with cheery music in the backyard made me laugh way too much i can't explain it.
I can't tell you guys how excited I am that you are reacting to this! My husband and I binged this show way too quickly. After we finished it, you were the first channel I ran to for reactions. I was so bummed out to see you guys didn't have anything on it. I never clicked on a video so fast when I saw you'd finally started this! I absolutely love your points of view and input on all of the situations.
I LOVE that you're loving Fallout! I'm chomping at the bit to join you on each new episode. 😁👍
as a massive fallout playing for like at least 20 years. this show could not have been done any better. I literally cant fault it at all. glad you two love it as much as me
4:44 Behind the scenes fun fact: this drone shot here was fully practical. Absolutely no CGI at all. That's an actual shipwrecked ship off the coast of Namibia just North of Sound Africa. They had to do it in one take because otherwise, subsequent takes would have shown foodsteps in the sand.
And I thought the sets couldn't get better. The whole town of Filly must've been so much to design.
Remember at the beginning the future Ghoul told his daughter that he was a Marine, also more exposition in a later episode how he's familiar with those suits.
Wasn't expecting a new episode to be out so soon, hell yeah! I finally started painting my Fallout tabletop minis because of this show lmao, It was the perfect motivation
Duuude that is so cool, good for you!!! So far we've been loving this show and are gonna push out our reactions as quick as we can!
I'm glad Walton Goggins is getting the flowers he deserves! I've been a fan of his since his role as Boyd Crowder in Justified
The games are known for visual storytelling. By the position of bodies and the items around them tell a story, usually a grim one.
I'm LOVING these Fallout reactions! Please do the entire series!! 🙏
I absolutely LOVE the questions you guys have about what's to come! Oh man, you're gonna love it! Your joy brings me joy. Can't wait to see the next react!
The Ghoul got 10/10 Perception and infinite AP. 😂
He's got the Grim Reaper Sprint perk for sure.
Tbf the dude running out the cave from the bear is accurate to the game😂
This series was SOOOO well done. My wife isn't a gamer or game enthusiast, and at best "tolerates" some of the game- or fantasy-based shows I like to watch. This one sucked her in. Every episode does a masterful job of moving the story forward while making you wonder what will happen next. Walton Goggins' character is brutal, but there's a reason for it, and I cannot wait to watch you find out what that is. They've apparently green-lit the 2nd season, too, so there'll be more of this awesomeness to come!!
Around 11:40 when they talk the whole camera angle and jumping is a nod to the games. Dialogue between you and npc is kinda like that and sometimes depending on if any obstacles in that dialogue scene the cam may angle differently.
Another nod is the shoot out when the bullets slo mo, nod to an ability called VATS (Vault tec, Assisted, Targeting System) where in game scene pause/slow down, you target a specific location on body, tells you % to hit, and fire. If crit the cam focus bullet as it flies to its target.
20:12 he must have selected the Blood And Guts perk
Just wanted to give a corny thank you. I genuinely enjoy watching you guys. Thanx for being you!
It truly means a lot to us. Thank you for showing us all the love and support ❤️
The way this story unfolds while there will always be more and more pieces of the puzzle that is the past, will be revealed is so great. The atmosphere and details are so awesome and well made, it feels so much like the games ❤
I'm so happy you chose this show!! 😊😊, love how well you give reviews. Amazing reacting and the combination of you both is awesome. Keep it coming!
The Vaults where not for the rich. Mostly the where so Valt Tech could run horrid experiments on the dwellers. In the cases where the rich where offered "good vaults" they where the subjects of the worst experiments. A few vaults where used as "controls" and had no experiment.
"He was _______ my chickens." Never gets old seeing people's reaction to this line.
I love how on the nose you are with your predictions. You also noticed important details others wouldn't.
Don't worry, season 1 answers most questions you have. But there are a few which are still to be discovered in s2
Please continue this series! Can't leave me hanging like this
Great reaction! I'm really glad you guys are doing this show! Another recent series you should definitely check out is Shogun. It is just a 10-episode limited series, and it is fantastic. Great acting, set pieces, costume design, and a very intriguing plot. I think you guys would really enjoy it!
No the Gun does not leave holes!! It leaves CAVERNS where flesh once was😅😅
I love how here already some of the small things mentioned get a bigger connection to the whole season and what happened right before when you do a repeat viewing but you still gotta connect those few last dots yourself
The writing thus far has been sooo good and we can't wait to find out how this all turns out!
The ending song, "I Don't Want to Set The World On Fire" is a certified Fallout banger 😂 Nothing beats the feeling listening to retro songs while exploring the wasteland.
But seriously, you gotta try any Fallout games. Either Fallout 3, FNV, or FO4 - each sequel are generally standalone so you can play whichever. But I think Fallout 3 is the most similar to this storyline. Design wise, definitely Fallout 4 👍
I love how the different characters are like different level/experience players. Lucy, level 1 new player. Maximus, level ~20ish played maybe 20-30 hours. The Ghoul, Level 200 and has a ~1000 hours easy.
Also fun note, there is the big joke in skyrim (another bethesda game) about the character eating 50 wheels of cheese in the middle of a fight to heal and what the bandits must think of this crazy person on the verge of death eating that many cheese wheels and all of a sudden being completely healthy. So him eating tomatoes is a joke on eating food for healing in the middle of battle and also really captures that feeling of being super high level and having a bunch of level 5 raiders try to kill you. And the way they work in those real game perks and feeling without it ever feeling like a blatent game moment. The ghoul clearly has the "Bloody Mess" perk maxed out and that will make enemies have a chance to explode in gore and at max rank can make nearby enemies also explode into gore. So those two guys getting killed by the same bullet makes sence from a game perspective but just looked awesome from a movie/show perspective. It wasn't out of place at all.
Great reaction like always love the "Please Remain Calm" because these standard turrets can't hit shit, even if a target stands still. It's a meme from the games. The name of the Bear thing is a "Yao Gui" A lot of the songs you are hearing, are actual songs that play in the game. It's a real treat for us that adore the game. The knight turning out to be a freaked out and cowardly Michael Rappaport had me cracking up. That last weapon that lucy cut the doctor's head is the ripper from the games lol Keep up the good work
Y'all putting these bisshs out fast lol... Much appreciated 💯
We’re gonna shred through this!
According to Lore Military Service People and their families automatically got a spot in a Vault. Vault-Tech Employees also automatically got a spot in a Vault. In one case random everyday people were "randomly" selected to get into a Vault. All others had to pay to get in and it was roughly $15,000 - $50,000 USD per spot.
Walton Goggins is such a good actor. If you are into older cop shows you should absolutely react to The Shield.
Writing as an older viewer who has played all the games (bar that PS2 game, sheesh) since the Interplay days? I think they’ve nailed not only the current aesthetic of the latter Bethesda days, but also brought the darker aspects of the Fallout 1/2 stories to the screen. I honestly expected this show to be terrible, and was so incredibly surprised by the quality of the sets, acting and writing. Good writing from American media has seemingly become a lost art. Am glad a show like this has proven that attitude of mine wrong.
hah! who knew that sticking to the source material would actually work out 😂
You and Alex Hefner are the only reactors i watch and listen to the commentary of. For some reason such a simple format a lot of people cant get right
One thing i forgot to mention for the last episode - the very beginning when you meet Lucy, she describes her skills. This is how you begin the game when you select your character's skills. The movie was pointing out what she is proficient in as she is the lead character. Those familiar with the game have fun trying to guess which traits other characters in the show have. 😆
*Introduction to Fallout Fauna!* an Overview
Rad Roach: Very common evrywhere in the Wastelands, these mutated cockroaches are easily dispatched but can be dangerous in larger groups and to unaware prey.
Bloat Fly: Another mutated oversized insect. This time of the flying variety, it is capable of shooting projectiles from its apendix. By far the greatest nuisance in the Wasteland.
Brahmin: The most benevolent and beneficial mutated creature to man in the wasteland.
Docile strong and edible (baring the cycsts) these two headed beasts of burden are really not much different from the cows they used to be
Yao Guai: Once a bear, now a badass bear. Always in a foul mood. Best not to disturb it. Dealing with them when you are in power armor isn't much of an issue (normaly).
Gulper: Weird, larger than man, amphibious Creatures possibly evolved from Salamanders. Not much is known about these.
Death Claw: Massive, bipedal creature with two horns on its head. Best advice: *RUN!*
If you played the Far Harbor DLC in 4, you know exactly what the Gulpers are 😉
Yao Guai, but yeah
@@simonkelly1410 corrected
They never trusting dogs again! 😂
Once bitten, I guess.
Michael Rappaport didn't even need to act to play Knight Titus, just be himself! 😁
Fun facts - 1: A lot of the effects in the show are indeed practical, even the Power Armor, and the sets and props are extremely accurate to the games. 2: Jonathan Nolan is a huge Fallout fan and Ella Purnell(Lucy) also played Fallout 4. 3: They filmed on location on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia and even had to deal with Hyenas once.
I thought Walton Goggins was great, but then I saw Elvis the Ayylien overlay a clip of a Fallout 4 inventory with "Welding Goggles" in it while he said his name, and now I can't unsee that.
Maximus took a while to shoot the bear for a couple of reasons: he would have been somewhat shocked by what he was actually seeing; and he needed to get a clear shot at the bear's head, because shooting it anywhere else would have only pissed it off even more than it already was.
THAT is a yao-guai, named by the chinese prisoners in internment camps, and yes, it is a mutated black bear. The name yaoguai means 'strange monster/demon' in Chinese.
Bottlecaps, or 'caps' are the currency in the world of Fallout because the technology to manufacture and paint them has been lost in the 200 years since the Great War, and because their relative scarcity (not rare, but also not prolific) makes it an ideal currency and protects against inflation.
The Ghoul's gun is a revolver shotgun, that's why such big holes and blown off limbs :P
That mutated bear is the yao guai, gotta love finding those when wandering through the wasteland
Thank you for the uploads, i am here to watch everyone you upload so don't be shy! ... Thank you!
Loved all the games and this show just complements it so well. Absolutely enjoyed every second.
The suit is a practical effect, a stuntman wears it the whole time as it was designed around the wearer and the wirework the stuntman has to preform.
If seen ep.3 by now on the ass jerky part, months ago they had a mini event recreating the town seen here irl and ppl attend it. The staff acts like the east landed citizens and vendors sell regular meat but call if iguana bits, dog meat or one lady just yells out get some fresh ass jerky here.
The Ghoul not dying when he was shot was a nod to those who played the game. With enough levels you just don't mind potshots from normal enemies. Also, like he mentioned he's pumped full of drugs.
I love that they called her Lucy Maclean, i know its spelt different from Lucy McClane, but it still makes me think of Die Hard.
The two-headed cow is called Brahmin, and they're the only kind now. :)
The skeletons in the home is a perfect example of the story-telling that happens in Bethesda games. Scenes like this are EVERYWHERE in Fallout, to the point to where it's coined the name Environmental Storytelling Skeletons. Personally, this is why I love the world of Fallout. There's a visible layer of extinct history underneath everything you experience, from the environment to scenes like this. Just yesterday did a mission where I went out to find a recording at a picnic site and the scene laid out, along with the recording, showed a scene of one woman drowning another woman and then taking rat poison. You're hearing what happened on this old tape but its clear it happened so long ago, that after that recording their bodies just laid out there for years and years with no one coming to help, you're constantly faced with interactions like this. Sometime quite uncomfortable, some funny. It builds an amazingly rich world where the protagonists and antagonists HAVE to take a backseat to the star of the show, the world.
And the mutated bear, accurate to how they look in the game, are called Yao Guai. They are pretty tough to fight but are fairly easy later in game when you have power armor, which makes the dude that more of a bitch.
Fun Fact, the desert with the ship and the houses is a real location on the coast of Africa, on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. The town was called Kolmanskop and was abandoned in 1956. Most of the furnishings are original to the town and not props.
That turret at the beginning was game accurate (pun intended)
Remember something about The Ghoul that he said before the bombs dropped in the episode 1 intro: He was a marine. And that power armor like that is entirely pre-bombs. It's entirely likely that he's worn a suit like it during his military service, or possibly learned how to fight against them.
Just so you know, more Vaults had poor people than Rich, because they're social experiments. The inhabitants were selected by the criteria of the experiment and there WERE some with rich folk, but even those it was an experiment, like 114 and 118.
Quickly became my favorite reaction channel!
Yet again, guys, you made a re-watch, of something I have already seen, four times that much better :)
I don't think this classifies as a spoiler, especially as I have not played the games and even I have already learned this, but apparently some pretty evil stuff goes down in some of the vaults; which makes the fact the fact that wealthy people *paid* to get in them even less morally digestible.
I'm a huge fan of Fallout, the games. Walton Goggins the actor who plays The Ghoul/Cooper howard. he's so good! You guys when you finish up fallout should check out Justified, he stars in that show too. really cool show, kindof a modern day western.
Apocalypse meh, upset my dog and everything is a target. Delighted that you are enjoying Fallout as much as I did. I can see a binge in my near future. Okkie Dokey...
The Ghoul mentioned in the first episode that he was in the Marines. Power armor is a device from the Pre-War, which means he mostly wore one and knows everything there is about them. A lot of the rounds the Ghoul used in the gun fight are explosive rounds which is why they were so devastating against the people. You'll know about who the Ghoul was/is as episodes go by. Us Fallout gamers know who and what the factions are about like The Brotherhood of Steel and Vault-tec. So we already know a bit more on what is really going on. You'll find out to.
Another episode so soon? Heck yeah power watch this! The slow motion shooting is a callback to the games where you can use the Vats system to slow down time against enemies to get accurate shots 🎉
