I am now 100% convinced that there must be some mental subliminal conditioning at play here, making 32 and 33 vote for 31 without realizing it. "When things look glum, vote for 31" definitely sounds like a phrase they could repeat when you are sleeping or something. Even the "maybe the mashed potatoes were a little better" line feels like some part of a script that 31 dwellers studied so they could parrot later.
Moises Arias deserves so much more recognition for this role. Also, the line “Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how” is honestly as relevant as “War, war never changes”.
It’s entirely possible the suit DOES have a panic open system for when the power core is popped… and Maximus may just not know how to trigger it. Like the Ghoul said, first rule of using a power suit is “read the manual”.
Thr funny thing is that in the game, you can sneak up on a guy in power armor and steal their core, immobilizing the whole thing, but when that happens, the armor just opens and the guy comes out and starts blasting you.
Yeah he did not know how to work the suit AT ALL. He was hesitant to let Thaddeus fill the water tank because he didn't even know that was a thing. Like you said, never read the manual lol
In fallout 4, you can still move after the fusion core depletes, (without a replacement, Albeit very slowly) But in that game you play as someone that was actually trained to use power armor.
@Yuki_Seraphim yeah I just noticed that the F4 protag would know about the weaknesses of power armor like Cooper does. They're the only pre-war soldiers we know that survived
Norm has one of the more interesting storylines in the series. I didn’t expect he’d be a character whose story I’d be so invested in, but there’s always a cool eerie feeling when he’s on screen.
I think the actor really sells the tension of the situation. He has like, an interesting face? I dunno, his facial acting was very good. Honestly most of the vault cast were consistently great, Leslie Uggams and Annabel O’Hagen as Betty and Steph did a great job of being low-key menacing too.
yeah and "people" still said that the show is bad on making his narrative make any sense. Questioning on the vault 32, why everyone in vault dumb except him, and so on. If you ask me that's open for interpretation, it's not the point of the show so why bother focused on it. and I could even say that is so nitpicky
@@ilno It’s not that everyone else is dumb, or even that Norm is necessarily super smart (although he’s clearly decent at hacking), it’s just that his specific personality doesn’t gel well with the Vault culture, so he doesn’t buy into it in the same way. He’s a social outsider so he has an outsider’s perspective. That allows him to notice things that other Vault Dwellers will naturally write off due to the assumptions inherent in their worldview. A worldview that I should point out was purposefully inculcated and encouraged by the Vault-Tec managers in a closed environment.
@@spiraljumper74 like I said it's open for it, and the show is smart enough to not giveaway everything which is good. It could be like you said, or it could be like other one said, and it's very good to have an open discussion for it
They established all the kids in the classroom with Lucy in episode 1. They probably just didn't want to deal with child actor contracts during all these back and fourths in the vaults.
if you think about it we don't see kids even in the outside world(post nukes), they did not want to show violence on children, some video games with lots of violence (especially rpgs were the player can kill npc´s), don't have any children in it so they don't get in trouble with the more sensitive audience,
@@arnaldocosta1298 Yeah Fallout does have child NPCs but they're unkillable and immune to damage. Which I understand, bc first who tf wants to shoot kids in a videogame and second it allows for the devs to make hilariously annoying child NPCs that the player just can't get rid of
@pabloc8808 This wasn't a thing until Bethesda took over, because of "Xbox and Playstation regulations." In 1 and 2 kids were killable. As for answering your question, go visit Little Lamplight in 3 and you'll probably be the one wanting to. Seriously grates on the nerves that place. Macready was really awesome in 4 when grown up, but in 3 he was infinitely punchable. Btw, those supposed rules were either never real or just not an issue anymore, because Dragon's Dogma 2 has children who can die as a direct result of the player.
IIRC, there was a whole thing about killing kids early on when the games came out, (Skyrim too) when you could actually shoot them and Bethesda decided that yeah, no, this is sick, and did away with the whole thing. That must be why you don't see them after that initial shot. It's like the Gary vault, let's pretend they're just barricated in some other sub-sector, and were spared from all these events.
Lucy was being cautious. She was the only reason either side moved at all because she was the only one trying to diffuse the situation. The fact that she got everyone to raise their hands to walk by made the fiends have a harder time getting their guns out. They might even have gone on by, but they saw her pipboy and a vault dweller is good eating for a fiend.
The kids were in the classrooms in Episode 1. Theyre there, just not at meetings held by the adults, or at the voting booths, or during the raid from the Raiders. I think its clever that most of the scenes of the vault are in situations where kids wouldnt be present. Though, its probably just easier not having kid actors running around in every scene
I wish current US elections had such a choice of voting for incompetent idiots or competent villains as candidates. Instead, our choices are candidates that are both incompetently evil.
Fun Lore Fact: Shady Sands is an extremely important location to the Fallout franchise as it appeared in Fallout 1 & 2, serving as the birthplace to Fallout’s most iconic factions - the NCR. It would become the biggest force in the west coast but their main capital would be destroyed. There were concerns amongst fans that the destruction of Shady Sands would retcon the events of Fallout New Vegas (another important game in the franchise) since the faction does heavily appear in that title but the creators later confirmed that the destruction occurred after New Vegas & its 100% canon
The NCR was bigger than Shady Sands. Just because their capital was destroyed it doesn't mean the NCR is gone, there should be LOADS of remnants roaming the wasteland, trying to rebuild.
@@generalmortars7557 Yeah. Even if their definition of 'state' was more like what we'd call a county, the NCR had five states at its height, of which Shady was only ONE.

5:32 In Fallout 4 you can. It's either Maximus' lack of power armor training is biting him in the ass again, or the writers decided that there weren't actually any emergency eject buttons inside the suit; which would be a weird choice to make. I'm leaning into the former.
You can manually open the suit from inside, goes for all versions (there is a tach manual you can read in Falloout 2 and Fallout Tactics). But it is established enough that Maximus never had training in its use. He just didn´t know.
@@2nd_Directorate I only finished the tutorial section for 2 and never played tactics so I wouldn't know about the manual. If there was anything like that in 1 I probably missed it.
Remember: on the very first episode Lucy had to go through a selection process to gain the responsibility of getting married to start a family. Not everyone's allowed to just have kids for fear of mutations and stuff. The blonde woman was allowed to have a baby with Bert because she was the last one to get married before Lucy.
Fallout New Vegas players know how bad fiends are Edit: sheera missed some of the teenagers in vault 33 when they were lining up for cake there were some very young people there. For budget reasons the show runners didn’t include very young kids.
The NCR is founded by the people of Vault 15. The village of Arroyo was founded by the Vault Dweller of Vault 13. And Vault City was built by the people of Vault 8. So even though there are shady shit going on with the vaults, there are good things that has come out of it.
The show is already good enough with the 3 main storylines of The Ghoul, Maximus, and Lucy, but I didn't expect them to keep coming back to vault 31 with a side mystery storyline. This show is great.
5:35 - it's because Maximus isn't trained to operate the Power Armor. If he was, then he likely would've known how to get out. In FO4, you can make NPCs get out of it if you steal their power core, which is likely more of a mechanic because NPCs can take the Power Armor if you've forgotten to take the power core out. Lore wise, and in previous games, you need to be trained first in order to use it.
The 31-32-33 Vault complex is in Santa Monica, north west of LAX. The Vault which Maximus and Lucy have fallen into is in Hawthorne, south east of LAX. One thing I'm not sure you guys have fully internalized is that there are thousands of Vaults all over North America.
The Hawthorne Medical Complex above the Vault they fall into is not named after Hawthorne the location nor is it likely in Hawthorne (which would actually be near Filly in Torrence). There are around 120 official vaults not thousands.
Power core explanation: The suits were made during the war between china and the US, A soldier in power armor was always accompanied by a squad of soldiers, all the power armor was is basically a Smaller, Lighter Tank, Enough to take more hits than a regular soldier and able to carry larger weapons in places where tanks couldnt reach.
33 has enough kids to fill a classroom, we saw them during Lucy’s introduction when she was talking about her passion for American History with a focus on Ethics. We’re not seeing them during the action in Vault 33 because the action isn’t happening in the classroom.
03:23 In the game those are called fusion cores. And in the game you can enter or exit the power armor any time and with or without a fusion core. That was a touch of Hollywood, to add drama to the story. No military in the world would make it so easy for an enemy to disable a walking metal fortress otherwise.
You'd be amazed how many people jump to that conclusion. It's like they don't make the connection between 'Vault 33' and the fact there might be at least 30 other Vaults....
@@Scyth0r To be fair, it was kind of sort of implied since the scenes before was norm asking what Vault 31 looked like, and lo and behold, her and maximus were in a vault in the last scene. But that's still a dumbass assumption since they traveled incredibly far, and are nowhere near Vault 31 which is near the same place as her Vault cause they're connected and shit.
the kids are missing because they only had the child actors for one episode, the kids in 33 are fine, presumably the ones resettled to 32 are the childless ones (with the exception of their new overseer) OR they separated them from their kids because 32 still has the school and whantot
Power Armor doesn't usually lock you in, in the game you (or NPCs) would just be forced to exit the armor. There is no key how Thaddeus is shown to have in the episode. Even so, I would just assume the addition of the key and locking system was added by the Brotherhood as a way to prevent what happened to Maximus in Filly, wastelanders or anyone, wouldn't be able to open it. In this case it was just used to lock him in for dramatic effect. The Brotherhood also has a habit of scuttling, destroying, their tech in an emergency if it were to fall into the wrong hands.
5:36 Remember that the suits were made during the great war. The US didn't want their suits to get taken by the Chinese. Plus, the guys who designed the suits, Robco, made these suits with a SHIT TON of design flaws.
5:34 i'm pretty sure Thadeus put some sort of a key to the core before he was able to extract it from the suit. Maybe all squires are provided with one.
while we do not have something akin to "radaway" in the modern world, there are several things you can use to help prevent the body from absorbing radiation. Potassium iodide. Prussian blue (Radiogardase) and Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) all of which helps the body expel radioactive particles through urine and feces
there being no kids was explained in the first episode. because everyone lives in the same vault that would also means at some point they would all be related. Lucy herself said there are rules against incest beyond pure pleasure which was the whole point of having people from other vaults come to have kids. the people in 32 died "a long time ago" and the only people we've seen from 31 are already adults with children: IE Lucy's dad and the girl with one eye, with the exception of maybe betty. even if the other 2 vaults were fine we could just assume from the info given that the process to have children in the 3 connected vaults is something like this: trade people between the vaults, make them have kids with the people in those new vaults, wait a solid 10-20 years for the kids to grow up and for the family tee to branch far enough rinse repeat. all to reduce the chance of birth defects. although other vaults would have more kids and as a result more defects since interconnected vaults like 31-33 are rare
I think the lack of kids is less sinister than you think (aside from casting budget). Remember Lucy had trouble finding a partner that wasn't related. The only current baby is from a couple made from people of different vaults. That's why they did the exchange at the first episode. I think its just the lack of genetic diversity in the vault at this point.
This show made a fantastic job in feeding few clues every episode making you intrigued and wanting to watch the other episodes right away i know i did xD!!!
The Mr.Handy Robots are programmed to “heal” you. So the robot fixed her finger then tried to “medically” help her. Also, Squires are given keys to help their Knights if they get stuck or a power core failure 😂
Why does everyone always assume they are somehow in 31 at the end? Lucy has travelled miles away from vault 31-32-33 they are connected vaults she has travelled waaaay to far to get trapped in one of those 3 vaults
They did briefly show kids in the 1st episode, but child actors are a pain in the ass, so they just focused on scenes where kids wouldn't really be involved, like meetings, voting, etc. Gotta use the ol' imagination, assume they're out of sight. Also, Lucy did learn not to blindly trust everyone, that's why she organized the whole hands up thing. She just didn't realize people were crazy enough to throw their lives away over a pip boy. She doesn't know how valuable it is on the surface. And those fiends were barely human, their "logic" would make no sense to someone like her.
sometimes lupa have to cool down his self instead of laughing at everything to understand whats going on bcuz he do be having his self looking slow sometimes
Roshi that's why the squiere is the only one that carries the key, no one else can take the core out, and the squiere would be killed anyway if they did it without a knights command.
There probably is an emergency release but Maximus has no idea how to pilot the suit. He's basically driving a manual after only ever driving automatic
They showed 33's children in the first episode, in the flashback when Lucy was teaching a class about American History. The show just don't bother showing them afterwards for some reason.
it's likely a budget thing. dealing with child actors is a pain in the ass because there is a lot of regulations surrounding them, for obvious reasons, so they just didn't use them for the rest fo the show, they just showed us that they do in fact exist at the beginning
This might be an unpopular opinion but, Norm is lowkey my favorite character. I’m so invested in his part of the storyline I can’t wait to see what happens in season 2. I’m excited for them to learn how this season ends 👀
Nah, Norm is legit a sleeper protagonist. You don’t expect to be invested in his story, but when you see it he’s always proving himself bigger than he thought he was.
Does sheera realize their in a vault? Lol "where's the children" they don't let people have kids until a certain amount of people have passed. Tf she on crack
20mins in "this show is fugged up" you have no idea...I think its pretty easy to figure out endings and I thought I had this one figured out....I was so wrong. Can't wait
The suit 100% has a manual latch on the inside but… he was never trained on it because thats not his suit. He stole it. Which is why Lucy should’ve known he was lying.
I feel like there probably is a safety latch or something he could have pulled to get out of the armor but he wouldnt have known where it is since he has 0 power armor training.
They didn't know what happened in 32 that's why they were surprised by the raiders in there, if Betty and Hank knew they wouldn't have opened up to trade but I dont get why they never checked up on them in 2 years
spoilers!!!! part of the experiment is for the 3 vaults to be completely isolated from each other except for the triennial trade and extreme emergencies so that in case something happens with 32 for example, 33 would still be safe. i assume the overseer of 32 simply didn't have time to send a message before the uprising so hank assumed everything was going normal until the trade happened
Not 100% on this but i would also say that because they are in a vault they have to keep the population in that vault controlled. Just like how Lucy had to go through an interview to get married, i'm betting couples also have to do some sort of interview/ be on a waiting list to have kids.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. They didn't want it to go with kids running around. It be more mouth to feed also. I think you said. They probably have a time period where can get married n have a kid or 2. Depanding what there requirement is.
I like to think those two fiends were a reference to shows like the Last of Us and Obi-Wan Kenobi in how it's always a gruff man and little girl as the main characters though they had aged up the girl
Any room in the schedule for Helluva Boss and Hazbin hotel, I want Lupa to be devastated and laugh himself silly 🥺 *Bonus* you can watch Helluva (and the Hazbin pilot) without edits
Valid questions: They did show kids in the pilot episode: There were the kids at the birthday party Cooper was working with his so adorable daughter. There was also a very brief glimpse of kids when Lucy mentioned she taught American History with an emphasis on Ethics. After that, the kids have been offscreen. The reason they DESIGNED the Knights' power armor to be locked in was a failsafe. It's in case someone went out of control. It's like having a shutdown button on a robot. You can lock them inside until you decide what to do with them.
We're "safe" now
Roshi still voting for Betty is apart of the Vault problem 😆

You'd be amazed how many people jump to that conclusion. It's like they don't make the connection between 'Vault 33' and the fact there might be at least 30 other Vaults....
@@Scyth0r To be fair, it was kind of sort of implied since the scenes before was norm asking what Vault 31 looked like, and lo and behold, her and maximus were in a vault in the last scene. But that's still a dumbass assumption since they traveled incredibly far, and are nowhere near Vault 31 which is near the same place as her Vault cause they're connected and shit.
the kids are missing because they only had the child actors for one episode, the kids in 33 are fine, presumably the ones resettled to 32 are the childless ones (with the exception of their new overseer) OR they separated them from their kids because 32 still has the school and whantot
You know... Lucy was the only person who DIDN'T get shot on that bridge.
They got hit with the old Wile E Coyote "painting of a tunnel" trap.
Where are the children? They literally showed a whole classroom and a teaching session on EP 1.
Yeah, but we never see them again for the rest of the sesson.😅
So I guess they all died when the raiders attacked in episode 1?
I'd like to think they're just doing fine off-screen
Power Armor doesn't usually lock you in, in the game you (or NPCs) would just be forced to exit the armor. There is no key how Thaddeus is shown to have in the episode. Even so, I would just assume the addition of the key and locking system was added by the Brotherhood as a way to prevent what happened to Maximus in Filly, wastelanders or anyone, wouldn't be able to open it. In this case it was just used to lock him in for dramatic effect. The Brotherhood also has a habit of scuttling, destroying, their tech in an emergency if it were to fall into the wrong hands.
We saw the Vault 33 kids in the first episode during Lucy's introduction when she was teaching her American History Class.😊
Why would they think they fell in vault 31? Theyre no where near the location of 31-33
5:36
Remember that the suits were made during the great war. The US didn't want their suits to get taken by the Chinese. Plus, the guys who designed the suits, Robco, made these suits with a SHIT TON of design flaws.
13:11 The real answer is just they wanted to avoid having to hire more child actors.
There were children Sheera . Remember 1st episode , the blonde lady was a school teacher and Lucy taught history
5:34 i'm pretty sure Thadeus put some sort of a key to the core before he was able to extract it from the suit. Maybe all squires are provided with one.
You can see Vault 4 on the suits at the end. It's not Vault 31.
Cockroaches can eat through just about anything, ones that big would get into that armor eventually. Maximus would be dead by then though.
I'm actually surprised that so many reactors thought that they fell into 31. They've traveled so far lol
while we do not have something akin to "radaway" in the modern world, there are several things you can use to help prevent the body from absorbing radiation.
Potassium iodide.
Prussian blue (Radiogardase)
and Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)
all of which helps the body expel radioactive particles through urine and feces
About damn time, thought I’d have to track yall down like Lucy for the next fallout vid
there being no kids was explained in the first episode. because everyone lives in the same vault that would also means at some point they would all be related. Lucy herself said there are rules against incest beyond pure pleasure which was the whole point of having people from other vaults come to have kids. the people in 32 died "a long time ago" and the only people we've seen from 31 are already adults with children: IE Lucy's dad and the girl with one eye, with the exception of maybe betty. even if the other 2 vaults were fine we could just assume from the info given that the process to have children in the 3 connected vaults is something like this: trade people between the vaults, make them have kids with the people in those new vaults, wait a solid 10-20 years for the kids to grow up and for the family tee to branch far enough rinse repeat. all to reduce the chance of birth defects. although other vaults would have more kids and as a result more defects since interconnected vaults like 31-33 are rare
We saw Lucy and Stephanie teaching the Vault 33 kids American History in 1x01.😊
‘There are no kids’ wasn’t EXPLAINED, it was shown to be false in Lucy’s introduction. Vault 33 has kids. Lucy was one of their teachers.
Shady Sands is just one state in the entire nation of the New California Republic. Expect more NCR.
I think the lack of kids is less sinister than you think (aside from casting budget). Remember Lucy had trouble finding a partner that wasn't related. The only current baby is from a couple made from people of different vaults. That's why they did the exchange at the first episode. I think its just the lack of genetic diversity in the vault at this point.
We saw Lucy & Stephanie teaching the Vault 33 kids American History in the first episode.
This show made a fantastic job in feeding few clues every episode making you intrigued and wanting to watch the other episodes right away i know i did xD!!!
The Mr.Handy Robots are programmed to “heal” you. So the robot fixed her finger then tried to “medically” help her.
Also, Squires are given keys to help their Knights if they get stuck or a power core failure 😂
Why does everyone always assume they are somehow in 31 at the end? Lucy has travelled miles away from vault 31-32-33 they are connected vaults she has travelled waaaay to far to get trapped in one of those 3 vaults
you guys forget maximus isnt a trained pilot there probably is a way to get out from the inside
They did briefly show kids in the 1st episode, but child actors are a pain in the ass, so they just focused on scenes where kids wouldn't really be involved, like meetings, voting, etc. Gotta use the ol' imagination, assume they're out of sight.
Also, Lucy did learn not to blindly trust everyone, that's why she organized the whole hands up thing. She just didn't realize people were crazy enough to throw their lives away over a pip boy. She doesn't know how valuable it is on the surface. And those fiends were barely human, their "logic" would make no sense to someone like her.
sometimes lupa have to cool down his self instead of laughing at everything to understand whats going on bcuz he do be having his self looking slow sometimes
is it that serious?
@@JUS2324 its not fool u want to make it seem that serious
@@KareemBrowne-m5e i just asked. why so defensive?
Lucy failing her speech checks never fails to be funny.
Roshi that's why the squiere is the only one that carries the key, no one else can take the core out, and the squiere would be killed anyway if they did it without a knights command.
3:45 “MICHEAL! DONT LEAVE ME HERE! MICHEAL!”
The trap vault is not 31
There probably is an emergency release but Maximus has no idea how to pilot the suit. He's basically driving a manual after only ever driving automatic
They showed 33's children in the first episode, in the flashback when Lucy was teaching a class about American History. The show just don't bother showing them afterwards for some reason.
Which is a bit odd.
it's likely a budget thing. dealing with child actors is a pain in the ass because there is a lot of regulations surrounding them, for obvious reasons, so they just didn't use them for the rest fo the show, they just showed us that they do in fact exist at the beginning
Funny thing is Vault 4 is the most safest of them all lol
vault 33 children are shown in the first episode, lucy is teaching them
This might be an unpopular opinion but, Norm is lowkey my favorite character. I’m so invested in his part of the storyline I can’t wait to see what happens in season 2. I’m excited for them to learn how this season ends 👀
My favorite character too!
He is my favorite too. With my least favorite being Maximus.
@@believeume122 I like Max I just think they made his character too stupid & unaware for someone who’s been in the Wastes all his life smh
Nah, Norm is legit a sleeper protagonist. You don’t expect to be invested in his story, but when you see it he’s always proving himself bigger than he thought he was.
A lot of wrong guesses, this is hilarious
Does sheera realize their in a vault? Lol "where's the children" they don't let people have kids until a certain amount of people have passed. Tf she on crack
I believe we see kids during the wedding/feast
Afterwards however 😐.....
3:52 You for real took a screenshot of Cuba Gooding Jr. in the movie Men of Honor and labled it "Fallout." What!?!?! 😂😂🤣🤣
'Where's the babies?'
There's one right there lol
Ayooooo 😂
There were LOTS or cribs and baby shit in 32.
20mins in "this show is fugged up" you have no idea...I think its pretty easy to figure out endings and I thought I had this one figured out....I was so wrong. Can't wait
The suit 100% has a manual latch on the inside but… he was never trained on it because thats not his suit. He stole it. Which is why Lucy should’ve known he was lying.
I feel like there probably is a safety latch or something he could have pulled to get out of the armor but he wouldnt have known where it is since he has 0 power armor training.
GOD I love the music in this show.
They didn't know what happened in 32 that's why they were surprised by the raiders in there, if Betty and Hank knew they wouldn't have opened up to trade but I dont get why they never checked up on them in 2 years
spoilers!!!!
part of the experiment is for the 3 vaults to be completely isolated from each other except for the triennial trade and extreme emergencies so that in case something happens with 32 for example, 33 would still be safe. i assume the overseer of 32 simply didn't have time to send a message before the uprising so hank assumed everything was going normal until the trade happened
And this is where the show pick up BIG TIME! I love the mystery of this show.
I wish you guys could just dropppp them so fast I’m toooo into your reactionssss to this oneeee😭🙏🏽
I didnt expect to like Norm as much as I do, possibly my favorite character next to the ghoul
Bro Max was on timing i was with him i was saying the same as him like come on through so i can blast ya goofy ass 💯🤣🤣🤣
Its vault #4 im pretty sure , I paused during my watch and saw single digits that looked like 4.
Lucy was being cautious she just didnt want to jump right to murder
19:48 Actually that's vault 4 that Lucy and Maximus walked into. Vault 31? Not gonna give out spoilers
Not 100% on this but i would also say that because they are in a vault they have to keep the population in that vault controlled. Just like how Lucy had to go through an interview to get married, i'm betting couples also have to do some sort of interview/ be on a waiting list to have kids.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. They didn't want it to go with kids running around. It be more mouth to feed also. I think you said. They probably have a time period where can get married n have a kid or 2. Depanding what there requirement is.
We saw Lucy teaching the vault 33 kids in the first episode.
I like to think those two fiends were a reference to shows like the Last of Us and Obi-Wan Kenobi in how it's always a gruff man and little girl as the main characters though they had aged up the girl
Bud who designed it talked about the flaws of the power T60's
The whole thing being that dumb is the point.
I asked the same thing about the kids were are they all in this world.
That pic in the thumbnail make it look like norm taking it from the back from Betty
Yall have the best intro
😂😂😂😂 MF was that Cuba Gooding Jr
I cant wait for next episode, 2 minutes in all your theories will disappear but youll love it!
Aside from a single birthday party in Fallout 3 and the plot device baby in 4 they never show kids in the vault.
the jonathan majors voice gets me every time 😂😂😂
Been loving this react
“The head can wait” tf it can. 😂
It’s hilarious that Fiends are still around after New Vegas
Any room in the schedule for Helluva Boss and Hazbin hotel, I want Lupa to be devastated and laugh himself silly 🥺
*Bonus* you can watch Helluva (and the Hazbin pilot) without edits
Valid questions:
They did show kids in the pilot episode: There were the kids at the birthday party Cooper was working with his so adorable daughter. There was also a very brief glimpse of kids when Lucy mentioned she taught American History with an emphasis on Ethics. After that, the kids have been offscreen.
The reason they DESIGNED the Knights' power armor to be locked in was a failsafe. It's in case someone went out of control. It's like having a shutdown button on a robot. You can lock them inside until you decide what to do with them.
Have y’all watched Severance yet?? That needs to be on the list if not
