  • Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to the Fallout (2024) show.
    On episode 3 of Fallout we got an insane encounter in the Wasteland! This episode brough Maximus, The Ghoul and Lucy face to face with a Gulper. And boy did that thing look absolutely nuts!
    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.

    The water chip failing is actually a callback to the original Fallout game; the water chip breaking is why the player is the first person allowed to leave the vault since it was first sealed.
    Also it's worth pointing out that all the PipBoy and computer interfaces we see do match the games, specifically the 3D games. The PipBoy has always been the in-game "explanation" for the interface.

    The writing in this show is very smart. To add to your comments at the end of the video about Maximus doing things different then Titus, When Maximus says "Fck, Fck, Fck" he says it as a reaction of "my squire is in trouble I got to help" vs Titus where he says it as a "I need to save myself". Its just another way to write how differently Max is doing things while also making it funny

  • @plastic_vicar
    @plastic_vicar 20 днів тому +44

    Can sort of understand Maximus' thinking. If he reports Titus' death, absolute best case is he's called back to base and has to get in line to be a squire for another knight when a position opens up and chances are that knight is as much of a tool as Titus was.
    Worst case; he is strung up by his lungs for failing his duty and didn't protect his lord! We've already seen the Brotherhood is pretty brutal and unforgiving.
    But even i the best case, he still goes back to being a squire which means he doesn't get a suit of armour and he doesn't get to be a hero.
    So his only option in his mind is, keep pretending to be Titus; find the artifact that the Brotherhood desperately wants; and hope that the Brotherhood is happy enough with him for finding the prize that they overlook his deception and allow him to continue as a knight due to his bravery.

      You got the right direction,but it is more easy. Dead knight and Squire is alive means: squire had failed. There is no excuse. The squires duty is to die first. In medival times, squires have only one honour; die for the knight or face your punishment for you failure with honour. Thats what Titus expected from Max. Max had no other choise but hope for their thankfullness when he bring the target and Show mercy. Normally,they will not. They would hang him as a hero.

    If a Knight dies, and his squire does not, then it's the squires fault for not laying down his life for the Knight. Even to give him a few seconds in any situation for the Knight to survive. So he gets put to death for failing his Knight. He had to lie.

    It's hard to tell whether they failed at portraying the Brotherhood's punishments as harshly as they could've or if they intentionally left it sort of ambiguous so it isn't clear exactly what they'd do to Max if he returns without his knight. Either way, it leaves a portion of the audience thinking he's an idiot for not just coming clean, but in reality, they could very well execute him since it's his job to die for his Knight. Especially since he literally told a high priest that he'd give his life for the Brotherhood. It seems like Maximus is a character that was definitely written to divide the audience. He's very polarizing. Even the fact that he could've potentially been the one who sabotaged Dane's boots has been intentionally left vague.
    IMO, Maximus is the most interesting character in the show. The Ghoul is obviously incredible, but it's not hard to make that character archetype a fan favorite. He'd be loved even if he didn't have such a cool backstory.

    You guys have always been great at really making the effort to connect with characters and try to understand their motivations and dynamics! I was surprised how many other reactors immediately wrote off Maximus as just a horrible, stupid, self-serving guy (while also adoring The Ghoul, but I digress). Like obviously it's fine to feel wary of a guy who is portrayed with a lot of ambiguity regarding what he's willing to do for power, but it's so weird how their dislike for the character leads them to completely dismiss and distrust everything he does, even later on in the series when he's very clearly in the right/justified in his actions?

    Maximus = average Intelligence, but low Perception. Not 'dumb', really. Makes snap panic decisions under pressure that usually don't end well. Still, people just don't think about things from his perspective or give him any benefit of the doubt. I don't really understand why.
    * Titus made it VERY clear to Maximus that Squires are disposable, and will be killed for failing their Knights.The reason for failing doesn't matter - after all, they have 'plenty of squires'. Titus dead means Maximus dead, unless he has something to trade.
    * What else was he supposed to do other than 'leave the suit unattended' while getting it fixed? It weighs like a ton, who was going to look after it for him? He could have tried to hide it, definitely (see:snap bad decisons above), but he's bad at thinking on his feet, for sure.

    This was a really interesting discussion about Maximus after this episode which I really appreciate and understand. I feel that there is a big point about Maximus people are missing a lot in season one. Everyone is assuming that he is a lot more experienced than Lucy regarding the wasteland. While that might technically be true, it doesn't mean he is experienced. The day Titus died, that was his very first trip out into the field after his first promotion. All he'd been doing before that day is reading textbooks and eating the Brotherhood propaganda. He is acting stupid, but its because he's almost as innocent about the dangers as Lucy. He might be more trained and more prepared, but it's just from books and stories.

    I love that you brought up the idea of their morals, since the morality spectrum is also a part of the Fallout games, I feel like the three main storylines we are following three different morality archetypes from the game!

    Something to know about this show is that it really thrives on multiple viewings. There are things which you will probably wonder about, but are actually explained through contextual clues. Thr showrunners don’t hold your hand explaining everything, but many apparent plot holes arent holes.

    I think Maximus pretended to be Titus because his job was to protect his knight at all costs no matter what. If a squire looses his knight then there is no sense of coming back to the brotherhood at all sort of thing no matter how it happened!

  • @ChaseOrdonis

    I truly love your insight about characters and stories. Its like having a real conversation about why the things happen the way they do, or why it makes it compelling. You really dive into the shoes of the setting and characters in a way that reminds me of how my sibling and I chat about ttrpg gaming/movies/etc. It's the immersion in the story, the draw, and then saying WHY it draws us in. Ya'll take time to really sink, and digest it from an objective point of view.
    As a gamer watching this show, it was great to see it again with a group that has never played to see if it still holds up. And I think that if the show can get the crazy themes and lore to those who doesn't play and still be sucked in, it makes for an amazing new way to rewatch. Anyway, tangent aside. Great video, and reaction!

    Maximus is a perfect example of a min/max character build. In the game, you have SPECIAL stats - Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. He clearly has maxed out Charisma and Luck, with a very low Intelligence.

  • @MichaelPalin
    @MichaelPalin 19 днів тому

    I'm really happy about how much appreciation you're showing Maximus. Way too many people say they hate Maximus and that Aaron Moten is a bad actor. It's not true. Maximus just isn't an easy character to root for. To put it in game terms, he's a high-Endurance, low-Intelligence neutral karma character. I think you're dead on that he is closest to how the average person would be in that situation. And that's not always fun to watch. And since Aaron doesn't get the great, snappy dialogue that other characters have, it makes people think less of his performance, and that's really not fair.

    One of the loading screens in Fallout 4 describes the gulper as a mutated salamander (and they very much look like salamanders in FO4 - you find them in the Far Harbor DLC). Seeing this axolotl thing in this show was rather surprising, but I guess it's a specific "mutation" for this particular area (you'll learn more about this type of gulper later in the show). I'm so glad you two are doing this series. You're one of my favorite reaction channels. Can't wait to see the rest! :)

They’re pretty easy to pick up and put down at your leisure as they have a very generous save feature. Fallout 4 is probably the kindest to newcomers mechanically, but for the sake of the show I also highly recommend 3 and new Vegas ( new Vegas especially). If you don’t have the time, there are plenty of lore video essay type videos out there to catch yall up on some of the references you may or may not be missing! ❤

      Shogun is another recent show that just finished, and it is fantastic! It is based on a book that is loosely based on a real story from feudal Japan. It is full of so many rich and dynamic characters, as well as some of the best costumes and world design I've seen in a show. It really transports you to that time period of Japan and what it might be like to be a complete stranger in that land. I think you both would really enjoy it!

    well the power armor is kinda "real" it is a functional practical prop ... they have contracted company called Legacy, which did Iron Man and stuff like that, but they had never actually made a suit quite as functional as this particular suit. Despite this being new territory for them, it worked well enough to be used on set. I saw some short clips of actors dancing in the armor on set :D
