Obviously everyone likes Lucy because she's the naive sweetheart that wants to do the right thing and in terms of the games she basically represents most Fallout players first characters. For me though I really found myself liking Norm the most by this point of the show. The amount of growth his character has done since he considered himself a coward that hid during the raider attack I think is some of the best writing for the show.
At first I really didn't want to see Norm and the pre-War stuff, I thought Walton Ghoulggins shooting up the block would be the highlight of the show. I forgot that in Fallout shooting can get kinda boring after a while, but lore, lore never changes
2:00 I don't think he was saying that Lucy was going to become a ghoul like him (that is actually relatively uncommon) so much as saying that Lucy was going to become like him by abandoning her principles and doing what he thinks you have to do to survive.
@@nekrull2610 He literally wasn't. The whole trip to the traders was him trying to provoke her so she would act like him. She was asking him why he was the way he was, and his response was to say they were really the same person underneath.
"How does she know how to open that" lol because she read the operators manual she alluded to it in an earlier episode unlike Maximus who hasn't and if had would know how to get out of it when your fusion core stops working there is a way to open it he just never found out.
3:28 "33? 32? 33? I forget." Just wanted to take a second to commend you on remembering so many details throughout the myriad shows you watch- you always are knowledgeable, engaged, empathetic, and analytical, no matter the program. It's truly awesome to see. You rock!
I love love love this! 15:32 funnylilgal hears Maximus lie yet again, and is so clearly disappointed and frustrated. It's so good. This is one of those moments that I really love in all the reaction videos. If we didn't care, and weren't rooting for him, we all wouldn't be so sorely disappointed by this response. Just another of thousands of little bits and bobs that will hopefully inspire writers moving forward!
The New California Republic is a major faction in the Fallout Franchise; arguably the largest and most successful polity to emerge from the North American Wasteland. Or at least, it used to be. You’ll learn more about it in the coming episodes.
It's really funny watching people react to this show and them literally being angrier on a personal level at Maximus for telling lies than they are at The Ghoul for cutting off Lucy's finger and selling her as a slave to organ harvesters. Humans are weird. 😁 37:15 - This is a case of 'assumed knowledge'. WE know Lucy is kind and trustworthy. HE doesn't (yet). He just panicked and tried to kill Thaddeus after telling him the truth, and then he should immediately trust a total stranger he's met twice in the Wasteland with a secret that could get him killed? I wouldn't. What if she tells the truth to the first 'real' knight she meets to get their help?
I know right!? The ghoul may yet be redeemed, but he's shown himself to be nothing but a violent sociopath thus far. Maximus seems to think he is in mortal peril if it is found out he's impersonated a knight, but FLG has decided for herself that he's overreacting and should be upfront first with Thaddeus (despite Thaddeus' immediate reaction when he was told to be "don't drag me into your shit) and Lucy, even though he has almost no reason to trust her.
Belated congrats on your 100K milestone! Still remember Angela's 10K sub days reacting beautifully to Stranger Things. Seemingly exponential growth in subscribers is well deserved. One of the few reactors I'd stay for their long outros. FLG's three prong attack is neatly unmatched. The comical wit during reactions, her courage in expressing raw emotions, plus her eloquence in delivering train of thoughts... hypnotic for viewers, like regressing back as a child, totally engaged and absorbed into the world of Mr. Roger. Angela embodies that capable teacher aura, whom we trust to impart nuggets of wisdom every time she opens the proverbial door. Angela may work in dental for her day job, but she definitely found her true calling in this medium. Cheers and may the sponsors start coming.
@@Jimandtonic85 Well, in that case… It annoys me that I used to make fun of “Dad poops” and now, sometimes I have to have those lengthy visits. “Stop banging on the door. It won’t make it happen any faster!”
maximus did it out of panic, while titus did it deliberately to insult maximus, elaborating on how the brotherhood would do it... titus was a cruel a..h0le, while maximus is insecure and constantly mistrusting, while he still has a good heart. in comparsion, titus was running away, leaving his squire behind, while maximus, was running to help thaddeus, afraid for being too late.... i think there is a big difference....
Nah, it was because of the small talk between thadeus and maximus before. Otherwise, max will not give a shiet about thadeus either. Instead of keep talking, explain the situation, he immediately try to kill thadeus. And after being trapped in that armor, instead of say something nicer, he still threatening thadeus. But ofc, since titus is a minor character, created to give maxi the armor so even with the same actions, people will tend to agree with maxi more. Thadeus can kill maxi easily but he chose not. Thadeus went to the gun and shoot the abnormal immediately while maxi slowly walking out of the cave and standing for 30s before decided to shoot. Thadeus know about the radiation tracker. Thadeus do what he is told without question like clean the cock shield, climb the tree, ready to lead a charge into the abnormal that he know he sure dead (yes, you can call it brainwashed but it is what supposed to be). Titus was right about 1 thing: Maxi is the worst squire.
@@nguyenmanhcuong5710 just shows, how totally F.cked up this branch of the brotherhood really is... and yes maximus is the worst squire... but still a better knight than titus ever was....
@@Metzwerg74 you never know. All of them might start just like maxi, idolize BoS but after being sent to the wasteland to do all the bs, they have changed over time. And tbh, cursing and disparaging subordinates is a common occurrence in the military.
@@funnylilgalreacts Just finished watching your reaction! Glad you held onto the bit of holding up your hands hehe. But yeah, even though I've finished the series I'm still on the fence of Maximums... his actions and choices are ugh worthy. Looking forward to ep 6!
Regarding power in the hospital, aside from it being a trap, Fallout 4 had a number of ruined buildings that still had power because they had backup generators running on fusion cores. It was one of the ways the player got additional fusion cores for their power armor.
I think this is one of the best sci-fi series, or movies for that matter, of the past 10 years. I’ve seen some reviewers say that this show is nothing but plot armor and plot conveniences that puts everyone exactly where they need to be exactly when they need to be there. The last time I checked, that’s every story ever written, that’s the nature of fiction, it’s how you do it that matters. What makes this a good story is the foreshadowing is there, it points ahead, you just don’t know what exactly it’s leading to until after you get there, and there aren’t red herrings at every turn to subvert expectations. Plus, it’s a fun adventure along the way, fun entertainment, Fallout gets it!
Counterpoint to the naysayers. Philly is probably the only town for miles so every was headed there. Plus the characters use CX, a rad meter, or a tracking device to follow each other around.
The “oh, I’m you” was metaphorical. The ghoul isn’t implying that radiation is going to turn Lucy into a ghoul; he’s saying it’s inevitable that she’s gonna become a monster (on the inside) like him and that she should stop clinging to her positive, old world beliefs.
It looked like Lucy was watching one of Cooper's movies in the first episode and surprise she has not recognize him yet. Once she realized who he was and find out his story she would realize why he was so harsh to her. When Cooper told Janey if the cloud was bigger than her thumb, then don't bother running. He didn't sugar coat it at all like how a real father would teach his kids. Teach by example and using cold hard reality. The waste is where you have to learn fast if you want to survive otherwise it would swallow you whole.
Maximus is a really interesting charachter and I see a lot of people who don't like him. He's a ultra traumatized kid who was inducted into a techno-cult and the beaten everyday like a ragdoll, then got a chance to be what he wants more than anything he wants: a literal knight in shining armor. But deep down he's got a cruel streak and he lies constantly and he feels like he can't trust anyone. He's got good intentions but he's not very smart about the way he goes about trying to get what he wants. The Fiends aren't just cannibals, they're also one of the main sources of futuristic super-drugs in the Wasteland. They're like a giant gang of drug addled Hills Have Eyes psychopaths.
Yea I think Maximus is my favorite of all of them because of how complex he is. They're ALL well written, to be fair, but something about the origin to his journey and where he is now just stands out to me.
In many ways Maximus has the mind of a child. We see that he was rescued by the Brotherhood when he was around 5 years old, after which they set about making him useful...what education and schooling he received were solely with the purpose of making him a more valuable but still very much expendable resource for the organization. So while he knows a few things about the pre-war tech which the Brotherhood seeks out and uses, between the trauma of surviving Sandy Springs and the constant bullying he's endured since, he never developed the kind of social skills which define "acceptable" adult behavior in society. He's still got the inherent selfishness that young children display, he's still apt to tell lies which help him or make him look good in the short term but which cannot hold up beyond that, and his moral compass is still pretty far out of whack vs. what we expect today (or what Lucy was accustomed to in the vault). He actually reminds me quite a bit of what Amos, from The Expanse, must have been like at that age, before he latched on to Naomi as his moral compass. On the first watch through, Coop/The Ghoul was the only character I really found interesting in this show. Having re-watched the series, and watching reactions on this & some other good UA-cam channels, that's changed...I can see several directions which the show's creators might take with all of the principal characters, and I can't wait to see which they use in season two & beyond!
@@Harv72b Given the life Maximus has had up to this point, I'm really scratching my head on why people are so hung up on his mostly white lies. it's that world's equivalent to padding your resume. It's almost to be expected, and it's not like he's the most profilic liar in this show, is it? Only Lucy and the Ghoul are completely honest characters, and both have their flaws.
I like Maximus. I agree his intentions are good - he helped Lucy in Filly and he helped the chicken molester because he seemed to be a victim. He treated Thaddeus decently when they were up against the Gulper. He idealised the knights of the Brotherhood but quickly learned from Titus that the power of the armour can't turn a jerk into a noble knight. I don't agree with people who say he isn't smart - he assessed the situation on the bridge and dealt with it competently. His character seems to belong part way between Lucy and The Ghoul - nowhere near as cynical as the latter, but much less naïve than the former.
Yep, the NCR flag is a modification of the California state flag... with a two-headed grizzly bear, lol. I have a flag patch of it on a backpack my brother got me for my bday one year. Seemed appropriate since it's one of those 24-hour "bug out bag" type of packs.
By sheer coincidence, I went to see Herb Alpert, the trumpeter featured in the song during the bridge scene (“Ladyfingers”), on Saturday night. Between a TikTok that picked it up and the use in this series, he said there’s been a few hundred million streams of that song recently. (He’s 89 and still has his pipes, BTW.)
In Fallout 4 there's a kid, Billy Peabody, who has been stuck inside a refrigerator since the bombs first dropped. When you manage to open the fridge, it turns out that Billy is (obviously) a ghoul. Because nobody would survive a nuclear blast from inside a fridge unscathed. 😜 Billy was a reference to that Indiana Jones scene. This scene was a reference to Billy... and I guess to Indiana Jones, too, indirectly.
When the Ghoul says Lucy will become him, I don't think he means literally into a ghoul. I interpreted it to mean into a murderous goon. I think a big part of season two's story arc will be who influences the other more. Lucy or the Ghoul.
Lucy maintaining her morality in the face of the surface has to be a direct challenge to The Ghoul, because if she can maintain her morals, then he has to come to terms with having had a choice to become such a monster of a person.
Murderous goon is an unfair and inaccurate characterisation. Murderous, certainly, but definitely not goon. Its just about the cold hearted, cutthroat self interest the ghoul came to live by
@@mintjulius275 Cold hearted, cutthroat self interest is pretty much a straight up textbook definition of a goon. He's a cool main viewpoint character so his villainy is easier to rationalize to our advantage, but he's (so far) pretty much a villain protagonist. He kills a shit load of people. He kills a shit load of people for flimsy self serving reasons, and he ENJOYS killing people for flimsy self serving reasons. He's a goon. I love him as a character, but in real life you wouldn't view him so fondly if you were around him.
Pretty much most stuff was powered by some form of nuclear energy, it's why some places have power and in game the cars blow up with the force of a small nuclear blast and make a little mushroom cloud 😅
Lucy: first playthru, trying to do what's right. Maximus: second playthru, testing limits and figuring out what you can get away with. The Ghoul: third playthru, when you know *exactly* what you can get away with.
The robot in the previous episode was programmed as a medical technician. A combination of hundreds of years of time and maybe the guys at the Super Duper Mart messing around have managed to change or corrupt its programming somewhat, but not all the way. Lucy came in wounded and needed to be fixed up, and that was priority one. You shouldn't entirely like the Brotherhood and you shouldn't entirely hate them. Pretty much like most factions in Fallout they're ruthless and have their own agenda. But they aren't all bad at the same time. They have a sense of honour that sometimes compels them to help out. Uncovering Vault mysteries is probably my favourite aspect of playing Fallout. Love finding a vault, working out how to get in, meet the population or find out where they went or what happened to them.
You say so many things that crack me up, I don't have time to comment on them all lol. The name of the channel is accurate ;) I'm at the "juices" part near the end of the intro. I have to save the actual reaction for when I get home from work tonight, at like 2am 😛
I think everybody’s issues with Maximus is that he is the most realistically written character in the story, we’ve all known someone like him. We’ve all held back and not said something when we easily could have, and had it make things worse. He’s a painful reminder of our own life experiences, damage we’ve done, or had done to us, that didn’t need to be. We are Maximus, the Ghoul and Lucy are the devil and angel on our shoulders.
The “commie” word is used bc that’s a word that was commonly used in the 50’s to describe people that went against the government. . Since this world is frozen in that era, the slang comes along with it. Cant WAIT for you to experience my 3 favorite episodes (6,7 and 8)!!!! Happy Monday! ♥️
While that's true it's also a bit literal as Communist countries were (and still are, tbh) enemies of America and something they're dealing with in the form of China, in Fallout.
Yup, and at the point the "past" takes place in, 2077, the US was also at high tensions with Communist China, having just kicked them out of their invasion of Anchorage, Alaska and was poised on the brink of all-out war with them.
The word, "Commie", was used in the 50's to describe people who were, uh, actual Communists. Only later did it start being used as a slang term for general "anti-government" sentiment.
There may be women that we haven’t seen but I do think this chapter might just not really want women to join, I think it adds to the theory that caesars legion merged with this chapter.
The brotherhood are kinda weird and fascist and definitely stay away if you're a ghoul regardless if you're feral or not but they're also well organised, have a duty to mankind and generally have one of the largest forces in the wasteland. Out of a lot of options they're quite often the best choice for mankind
Maximus absolutely had reason to lie to Lucy about his name. If they run across someone from the Brotherhood and she refers to him as "Maximus", he's done. If he told her his true name, he'd have to explain why he's also going by Titus, which would hurt his attempt to get her to trust him.
The fact that they enter an "abandoned" hospital to get stimpaks is such a nod to the game. You can literally find stimpaks in first aid kits right next to a camp or in a town of bandits.
Watching you react to these has lately been one of my main enjoyments in coming to UA-cam. Loved this show and universe and seeing you jump in is great. Glad you're enjoying it so far, they did a really great job. You should consider checking out the games sometime if you were feeling daring.
Hot damn!! Felt comfortable with you since I began watching this series and now I know why. Nakama. Also, in the games you can't travel with more than 1 person at a time and all of our main characters follow that logic in this show which I really appreciate!
Fallout Shelter is both fun and insightful as a game, and a way to engage the show. Like a few others, the show inspired me to replay the game with a brand new vault (replacing my last one, made nearly a decade before, which was a self-sustaining dream). So much intrigue from this quirky delight led by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (the same husband and wife team that brought us "Westworld" and “The Peripheral"). Great reaction.
Ironically, I think people have a hard time liking Maximus because he's the closest thing to 'real person' in the whole show. The others are archetypes - Lucy's a hero, The Ghoul's an anti-hero. Straightforward and predictable. Maximus? He's just 'a guy'. A survivor of a lifetime of abuse and indoctrination, trying to get by in a brutal world and doing the best an imperfect person can. Because he's not someone that can easily be put in a category, that unsettles people, because he's unpredictable. And if there's one thing humans dislike, it's unpredictability in other humans. We dislike it on a genetic/unconscious level, because it threatens our safety. I feel that goes some way towards explaining why people have such a visceral 'dislike' reaction towards him, even though he never actually does anything near as bad as other characters.
I very much think you are right. A lot of people watching this show and hate him do so because he may hit too close to home. He is the average person with little influence and little understanding who just has to roll with the flow and who has no idea were his actions will lead him in the long term. Not all people like to see a character that reminds them of themselves.
I think it’s because he embodies the noob player in all of us. We’re not hating on him but on the part of ourselves that would’ve done the same thing as him once upon a time.
Telling the truth to Lucy would be the good/nice thing to but it's also incredibly naive and risky given that his life is on the line. He doesn't know her, he seams to have fallen for here but she is still a stranger. Given that the first episode was very "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" inspired I just assumed that Maximums is supposed to be something in between good and bad. That combined with the flashbacks of the knight I just read him as someone trying to become a hero in a world where it isn't possible to be all the way good.
A little in-game lore: Shady Sands was established by dwellers from Vault 15 about 150 years earlier. Different vaults had different opening conditions, some even had none.
So the scene when Norm is reading the trade logs on the terminal is trying to show how every overseer they've had in the past is always someone from 31. And yeah we knew his dad was from 31 since episode 1, Hank told that to Lucy when she was scared to meet her new husband.
The thing you have to keep in mind about Maximus is that he's a bullied kid in an adult's body. From the time he was rescued by the Brotherhood of Steel up until now he's been emotionally stunted. His entire world has been BoS. To him, they're the heroic knights that will bring peace and order to the wasteland, and that's very powerful to a kid that lost everything to violence and spent a good chunk of his life getting picked on. He wants to BE that. I don't think he views it as lying when he tells Lucy that he's a knight, or that he can get her help, just something that's temporarily untrue until he can prove himself worthy.
Injuries cause people to stress and have tension, especially if it's current/recent. That causes adrenalin levels to increase, which is not a good state for most any surgical procedure. Once she gets the new finger, she immediately begins to feel better and relax, which was the real goal Snip Snip.
@@funnylilgalreacts There's also the fact that he's hijacked - first set of programming has him fixing people, hijacked program is for stealing organs. He just carries them out in that order 🙂
since the power armour is in effect a military tank on legs it stands to reason that it would have some sort of built in waste recycling / removal system, along with nutrient / fluid delivery for long duration missions where you don't exactly want the pilot getting out every few hours to take a drink or have to pee..
I have been enjoying your Fallout reaction videos. I think what Norm and Chet found in vault 32 was the aftermath of a mutiny/revolt/civil war. The fighting was between the supporters of the overseer and the rebels. The bodies hanging outside the overseer's office didn't hang themselves, but were either rebels hung by the overseer's forces or some of the overseer's supporters captured and hung by the rebels. The fact that everyone in vault 32 was dead makes me think either the overseer triggered a failsafe which poisoned everyone in the vault, it was triggered from vault 31 or it was automatically triggered when they tried to break thru the door to 31. Don't know what the rebels found out about vault 31. In the Fallout 4 game, suicide by toaster seems to have been a thing. Multiple instances of a skeleton next to a toaster with tableware stuck in it, or a skeleton and a toaster in a bath tub.
Listen to our episode was to show just how naive Lucy is. Secondly you were probably talking over it but Betty said she spoke to the overseer of vault 31 and they decided to resettle vault 32. So basically the occupants of vault 31 cleaned up vault 32.
The "Reclamation Day" is a premise for one of the game. Fallout 76. Where we as players are exiting the vault and being celebrated to go and reclaim the world. At the timeline of one and half centuries before the Fallout Amazon Series. Apparently, just like Maximus said, it didn't work. No wonder really, look at what we as the people did there.
Look, if Max had told her his real situation, why would she help him? He MUST get the target or it's his ass. Also, trusting ANYONE with his secret is exceedingly dangerous. Guilt nags him, no doubt, but he's desperate to avoid the consequences of being found out. Look whar happened when he decided to come clean with Thaddeus earlier in this same episode. Not likely to do that again.
Fallout Guide: Medicine RADAWAY Radaway works by coating all radioactive particles within your body with a gelationous material resembeling partially rendered fat. The way this removes said radioactive is that radaway induces projectile vomiting and/or diaherrea until the radaway is flush from your system.
Brotherhood of Steel from the games had women in same amount as men. But here is a thing about Brotherhood, it fractures and makes different sects with different philosophies every few years it seems. We seen different side of the coin of it in different games and the show brotherhood feels like a different group from those we knew so far.
I love the way they depict Vault dwellers. If they weren't so servile and polite, they wouldn't still be trapped in a vault. All the vault dwellers are so "shucks golly" gullible.
Juicy? Yup..got your meaning…wouldn’t exactly put it that way, but did get your meaning. 😉 Loving your analysis. 👍 also appreciated the hands up bit. 😀
You're definitely right about Maximus (fyi the toilet thing probably has to do with his name. You know, Maximus. As in gluteus maximus). I remember when I first watched this thinking "no way is he going to pull off masquerading as Titus. What happens if they run into a bunch of Brotherhood knights or something? What happens if they do catch up to Thadeus? He's going to get outed real fast.
Without any spoilers, based on the games if you can imagine either a social or biological experiment with potentially nightmarish consequences, there was probably a vault designed around it.
Remember the fiends eat people. When they saw Lucy pipboy it was all over. First vault dwellers on average are naive a nice easy target and second for someone that eats people there is no better eating then vault dwellers who had clean air, and water, and food and lived nice sheltered low danger lives.
Max and Lucy are both going on a similar character arc; changing along the way. They're both trying to survive this journey using the tools they were raised with. In the vault Lucy was taught that forgiveness, teamwork, and empathy is the way of the world. Max was taught to be weary of everyone because resources were scarce. To be secretive to protect yourself. And to not hesitate to kill. It's why I give him the same grace that I give Lucy every time he lies.
I still have one question regarding 31, and the clean up of 32. how often it happens? they cleaned the entire place in in 20hrs, so they clearly have experience of doing it.
In the Fallout games, there are over 40 known vaults. The results from the experiments in some of these vaults are equally hilarious and horrific. The games alone could probably provide ideas for 50 more seasons of Fallout. I'm really looking forward to the next season!
...can you imagine the life that Maximus has led to this point? Survivng a bombing from the age of 5ish? Then being taken in by a cult that he views as "heroes"? I understand why he is not the most honest and forthcoming person...
26:50 What's more insane about that hospital is the lack of a loading screen upon entering.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yeah, I was actually waiting for a fade to black
They'd have needed several more episodes to account for loading screens if they were being truly accurate to the game.
Obviously everyone likes Lucy because she's the naive sweetheart that wants to do the right thing and in terms of the games she basically represents most Fallout players first characters. For me though I really found myself liking Norm the most by this point of the show. The amount of growth his character has done since he considered himself a coward that hid during the raider attack I think is some of the best writing for the show.
Norm is probably one of my favorite characters in the whole show
@@funnylilgalreacts He "lacks enthusiasm" but is intelligent and likes computers. What's not to like about him? 😉

2:00 I don't think he was saying that Lucy was going to become a ghoul like him (that is actually relatively uncommon) so much as saying that Lucy was going to become like him by abandoning her principles and doing what he thinks you have to do to survive.
Because if she does then he, Cooper, isn't really a bad guy because anyone could become what he has.
That’s the interpretation I got as well. That she reminded him of himself, before compromising his principles to survive.
No he was specifically saying she will become a ghoul in time. It does happen fairly common.
@@nekrull2610 He literally wasn't. The whole trip to the traders was him trying to provoke her so she would act like him. She was asking him why he was the way he was, and his response was to say they were really the same person underneath.

So true. I knew she reminded me of someone, but I couldn't place who exactly.

It's really funny watching people react to this show and them literally being angrier on a personal level at Maximus for telling lies than they are at The Ghoul for cutting off Lucy's finger and selling her as a slave to organ harvesters. Humans are weird. 😁
37:15 - This is a case of 'assumed knowledge'. WE know Lucy is kind and trustworthy. HE doesn't (yet). He just panicked and tried to kill Thaddeus after telling him the truth, and then he should immediately trust a total stranger he's met twice in the Wasteland with a secret that could get him killed? I wouldn't. What if she tells the truth to the first 'real' knight she meets to get their help?
A lot do seem determined to believe the The Ghoul is a good guy no matter what he does.
The finger thing was fair trade, can't exactly be mad about that.
@@Vipre-Hardly! For Lucy, having her finger sawn off was a traumatic and painful experience for the Ghoul, it was tuesday.
I know right!? The ghoul may yet be redeemed, but he's shown himself to be nothing but a violent sociopath thus far.
Maximus seems to think he is in mortal peril if it is found out he's impersonated a knight, but FLG has decided for herself that he's overreacting and should be upfront first with Thaddeus (despite Thaddeus' immediate reaction when he was told to be "don't drag me into your shit) and Lucy, even though he has almost no reason to trust her.

Angela embodies that capable teacher aura, whom we trust to impart nuggets of wisdom every time she opens the proverbial door. Angela may work in dental for her day job, but she definitely found her true calling in this medium. Cheers and may the sponsors start coming.
Well said.
"How do you poop?" Beats me. The older I get the more my body seems to require an instruction manual for that.
Too true, bro.
More like how do I stop pooping. Just all the time…no regard for current events just hey let’s poop now and five minutes later after we are done
Y’all are just talking shit.
…may I join in?
@@AngeloBarovierSD of course, you’re not on the internet unless you’re talking shit to somebody

It annoys me that I used to make fun of “Dad poops” and now, sometimes I have to have those lengthy visits.

The irony of Maximus threatening to kill Thaddeus when he needs him to open the suit--just like Titus threatened Maximus with death...
maximus did it out of panic, while titus did it deliberately to insult maximus, elaborating on how the brotherhood would do it...
titus was a cruel a..h0le, while maximus is insecure and constantly mistrusting, while he still has a good heart.
in comparsion, titus was running away, leaving his squire behind, while maximus, was running to help thaddeus, afraid for being too late....
i think there is a big difference....
Nah, it was because of the small talk between thadeus and maximus before. Otherwise, max will not give a shiet about thadeus either.
Instead of keep talking, explain the situation, he immediately try to kill thadeus. And after being trapped in that armor, instead of say something nicer, he still threatening thadeus. But ofc, since titus is a minor character, created to give maxi the armor so even with the same actions, people will tend to agree with maxi more.
Thadeus can kill maxi easily but he chose not. Thadeus went to the gun and shoot the abnormal immediately while maxi slowly walking out of the cave and standing for 30s before decided to shoot. Thadeus know about the radiation tracker. Thadeus do what he is told without question like clean the cock shield, climb the tree, ready to lead a charge into the abnormal that he know he sure dead (yes, you can call it brainwashed but it is what supposed to be).
Titus was right about 1 thing: Maxi is the worst squire.
@@nguyenmanhcuong5710 just shows, how totally F.cked up this branch of the brotherhood really is...
and yes maximus is the worst squire... but still a better knight than titus ever was....
@@Metzwerg74 you never know. All of them might start just like maxi, idolize BoS but after being sent to the wasteland to do all the bs, they have changed over time. And tbh, cursing and disparaging subordinates is a common occurrence in the military.

I’m at work as I wrote this, so can’t enjoy your reaction just yet. Look forward to it!
Cheers 😊
Thank you! Hopefully you get time soon!
@@funnylilgalreacts Just finished watching your reaction! Glad you held onto the bit of holding up your hands hehe. But yeah, even though I've finished the series I'm still on the fence of Maximums... his actions and choices are ugh worthy. Looking forward to ep 6!
The secret of vault 31 is that the mashed potatoes are actually a LOT better
One of the subtle details about vault 4 that I enjoyed was the way the lights are "flickering" towards the trapped door.
Yeah it was nice touch. Also the fact, that the areas behind the trapped door were normally lighted.
Regarding power in the hospital, aside from it being a trap, Fallout 4 had a number of ruined buildings that still had power because they had backup generators running on fusion cores. It was one of the ways the player got additional fusion cores for their power armor.
good old fusion cores,
can run an entire 3 story building for over 200 years, runs out 5 mins after been used in Power Armour.
I think this is one of the best sci-fi series, or movies for that matter, of the past 10 years. I’ve seen some reviewers say that this show is nothing but plot armor and plot conveniences that puts everyone exactly where they need to be exactly when they need to be there. The last time I checked, that’s every story ever written, that’s the nature of fiction, it’s how you do it that matters. What makes this a good story is the foreshadowing is there, it points ahead, you just don’t know what exactly it’s leading to until after you get there, and there aren’t red herrings at every turn to subvert expectations. Plus, it’s a fun adventure along the way, fun entertainment, Fallout gets it!
Counterpoint to the naysayers. Philly is probably the only town for miles so every was headed there. Plus the characters use CX, a rad meter, or a tracking device to follow each other around.
12:42 - "Maximus, stop" is an exact line that Connie Nielsen said in the movie Gladiator. 🤣
27:10 "It's a TRAAAP!"
--Star Wars Fish Guy
The “oh, I’m you” was metaphorical. The ghoul isn’t implying that radiation is going to turn Lucy into a ghoul; he’s saying it’s inevitable that she’s gonna become a monster (on the inside) like him and that she should stop clinging to her positive, old world beliefs.
The hiding in the refrigerator was originally an Easter Egg in one of the Fallout games (NV) from Indiana Jones.
There's also the kid in the fridge from Fallout 4.
It looked like Lucy was watching one of Cooper's movies in the first episode and surprise she has not recognize him yet. Once she realized who he was and find out his story she would realize why he was so harsh to her. When Cooper told Janey if the cloud was bigger than her thumb, then don't bother running. He didn't sugar coat it at all like how a real father would teach his kids. Teach by example and using cold hard reality. The waste is where you have to learn fast if you want to survive otherwise it would swallow you whole.
Hey Homer, Cooper doesn't exactly look the same as he does in the movies... just saying.
He also never calls himself "Cooper" infront of Lucy
"Funny that she didn't recognize him" probably because Cooper looks completely different.
2:46 Did anyone explain that the robot was extracting the human juices, to create the Serum?
Maximus is a really interesting charachter and I see a lot of people who don't like him. He's a ultra traumatized kid who was inducted into a techno-cult and the beaten everyday like a ragdoll, then got a chance to be what he wants more than anything he wants: a literal knight in shining armor. But deep down he's got a cruel streak and he lies constantly and he feels like he can't trust anyone. He's got good intentions but he's not very smart about the way he goes about trying to get what he wants.
The Fiends aren't just cannibals, they're also one of the main sources of futuristic super-drugs in the Wasteland. They're like a giant gang of drug addled Hills Have Eyes psychopaths.
Yea I think Maximus is my favorite of all of them because of how complex he is. They're ALL well written, to be fair, but something about the origin to his journey and where he is now just stands out to me.
In many ways Maximus has the mind of a child. We see that he was rescued by the Brotherhood when he was around 5 years old, after which they set about making him useful...what education and schooling he received were solely with the purpose of making him a more valuable but still very much expendable resource for the organization. So while he knows a few things about the pre-war tech which the Brotherhood seeks out and uses, between the trauma of surviving Sandy Springs and the constant bullying he's endured since, he never developed the kind of social skills which define "acceptable" adult behavior in society. He's still got the inherent selfishness that young children display, he's still apt to tell lies which help him or make him look good in the short term but which cannot hold up beyond that, and his moral compass is still pretty far out of whack vs. what we expect today (or what Lucy was accustomed to in the vault). He actually reminds me quite a bit of what Amos, from The Expanse, must have been like at that age, before he latched on to Naomi as his moral compass.
On the first watch through, Coop/The Ghoul was the only character I really found interesting in this show. Having re-watched the series, and watching reactions on this & some other good UA-cam channels, that's changed...I can see several directions which the show's creators might take with all of the principal characters, and I can't wait to see which they use in season two & beyond!
@@Harv72b Given the life Maximus has had up to this point, I'm really scratching my head on why people are so hung up on his mostly white lies. it's that world's equivalent to padding your resume. It's almost to be expected, and it's not like he's the most profilic liar in this show, is it?
Only Lucy and the Ghoul are completely honest characters, and both have their flaws.
I like Maximus. I agree his intentions are good - he helped Lucy in Filly and he helped the chicken molester because he seemed to be a victim. He treated Thaddeus decently when they were up against the Gulper. He idealised the knights of the Brotherhood but quickly learned from Titus that the power of the armour can't turn a jerk into a noble knight. I don't agree with people who say he isn't smart - he assessed the situation on the bridge and dealt with it competently. His character seems to belong part way between Lucy and The Ghoul - nowhere near as cynical as the latter, but much less naïve than the former.
Yeah I don't like him at all. Incompetent, tells lies for no reason, and is pretty dumb.
Yep, the NCR flag is a modification of the California state flag... with a two-headed grizzly bear, lol. I have a flag patch of it on a backpack my brother got me for my bday one year. Seemed appropriate since it's one of those 24-hour "bug out bag" type of packs.
By sheer coincidence, I went to see Herb Alpert, the trumpeter featured in the song during the bridge scene (“Ladyfingers”), on Saturday night. Between a TikTok that picked it up and the use in this series, he said there’s been a few hundred million streams of that song recently. (He’s 89 and still has his pipes, BTW.)
In Fallout 4 there's a kid, Billy Peabody, who has been stuck inside a refrigerator since the bombs first dropped.
When you manage to open the fridge, it turns out that Billy is (obviously) a ghoul.
Because nobody would survive a nuclear blast from inside a fridge unscathed. 😜
Billy was a reference to that Indiana Jones scene.
This scene was a reference to Billy... and I guess to Indiana Jones, too, indirectly.
I really appreciate your dedication to the bit!
When the Ghoul says Lucy will become him, I don't think he means literally into a ghoul. I interpreted it to mean into a murderous goon. I think a big part of season two's story arc will be who influences the other more. Lucy or the Ghoul.
Lucy maintaining her morality in the face of the surface has to be a direct challenge to The Ghoul, because if she can maintain her morals, then he has to come to terms with having had a choice to become such a monster of a person.
yes. that's what later he says "there u are u little killer"
Murderous goon is an unfair and inaccurate characterisation.
Murderous, certainly, but definitely not goon. Its just about the cold hearted, cutthroat self interest the ghoul came to live by
@@mintjulius275 Cold hearted, cutthroat self interest is pretty much a straight up textbook definition of a goon. He's a cool main viewpoint character so his villainy is easier to rationalize to our advantage, but he's (so far) pretty much a villain protagonist. He kills a shit load of people. He kills a shit load of people for flimsy self serving reasons, and he ENJOYS killing people for flimsy self serving reasons. He's a goon. I love him as a character, but in real life you wouldn't view him so fondly if you were around him.
@@dethtongue945 I guess so. I think of goons as also implying like subservient henchmen
Pretty much most stuff was powered by some form of nuclear energy, it's why some places have power and in game the cars blow up with the force of a small nuclear blast and make a little mushroom cloud 😅
Lucy: first playthru, trying to do what's right.
Maximus: second playthru, testing limits and figuring out what you can get away with.
The Ghoul: third playthru, when you know *exactly* what you can get away with.
Ghoul´s wife: a developer.
You are definitely NOT the problem. I enjoy watching your reactions very much. Can't wait for the next one
Lol I love that it's not just roaches that skeeve you out, but roach incisors specifically 😂 very on brand🤘
26:29 "Go in there with her!", said with clenched teeth. 🤠 love it
The robot in the previous episode was programmed as a medical technician. A combination of hundreds of years of time and maybe the guys at the Super Duper Mart messing around have managed to change or corrupt its programming somewhat, but not all the way. Lucy came in wounded and needed to be fixed up, and that was priority one.
You shouldn't entirely like the Brotherhood and you shouldn't entirely hate them. Pretty much like most factions in Fallout they're ruthless and have their own agenda. But they aren't all bad at the same time. They have a sense of honour that sometimes compels them to help out.
Uncovering Vault mysteries is probably my favourite aspect of playing Fallout. Love finding a vault, working out how to get in, meet the population or find out where they went or what happened to them.
You say so many things that crack me up, I don't have time to comment on them all lol. The name of the channel is accurate ;) I'm at the "juices" part near the end of the intro. I have to save the actual reaction for when I get home from work tonight, at like 2am 😛
I think everybody’s issues with Maximus is that he is the most realistically written character in the story, we’ve all known someone like him. We’ve all held back and not said something when we easily could have, and had it make things worse. He’s a painful reminder of our own life experiences, damage we’ve done, or had done to us, that didn’t need to be. We are Maximus, the Ghoul and Lucy are the devil and angel on our shoulders.
No, he's just an idiot.
He also *just* lost an ally by telling the truth, so yeah, if under stress his instinct would be to lie.
I just noticed you hit 100k subscribers! congrats! You deserve it.
Thank you!!
The “commie” word is used bc that’s a word that was commonly used in the 50’s to describe people that went against the government. . Since this world is frozen in that era, the slang comes along with it.
Cant WAIT for you to experience my 3 favorite episodes (6,7 and 8)!!!!
Happy Monday!
♥️
America is still scared of everything red and the word "social". So not really that much out of time lol.
While that's true it's also a bit literal as Communist countries were (and still are, tbh) enemies of America and something they're dealing with in the form of China, in Fallout.
Yup, and at the point the "past" takes place in, 2077, the US was also at high tensions with Communist China, having just kicked them out of their invasion of Anchorage, Alaska and was poised on the brink of all-out war with them.
Wasn't there a war against commie China in 2077?
So it'd be like saying "keep the n*zis out" in our 1944 timeline. Who the heck would object to that?
The word, "Commie", was used in the 50's to describe people who were, uh, actual Communists. Only later did it start being used as a slang term for general "anti-government" sentiment.
The brotherhood actually does have plenty of female characters, don't worry.
And some of them just want a nice dress.
Lyons Pride Represent!
There may be women that we haven’t seen but I do think this chapter might just not really want women to join, I think it adds to the theory that caesars legion merged with this chapter.
The brotherhood are kinda weird and fascist and definitely stay away if you're a ghoul regardless if you're feral or not but they're also well organised, have a duty to mankind and generally have one of the largest forces in the wasteland. Out of a lot of options they're quite often the best choice for mankind
@@stueymon what?? No they’re not 😂😂
21:45 "It just feels unnatural" --Gary from Free Guy
GARY! That's the guy!
Maximus absolutely had reason to lie to Lucy about his name. If they run across someone from the Brotherhood and she refers to him as "Maximus", he's done. If he told her his true name, he'd have to explain why he's also going by Titus, which would hurt his attempt to get her to trust him.
The fact that they enter an "abandoned" hospital to get stimpaks is such a nod to the game. You can literally find stimpaks in first aid kits right next to a camp or in a town of bandits.
If you don't have about 300 of them by the time you're a few hours in, you're not doing it right 😆
Watching you react to these has lately been one of my main enjoyments in coming to UA-cam. Loved this show and universe and seeing you jump in is great. Glad you're enjoying it so far, they did a really great job. You should consider checking out the games sometime if you were feeling daring.
Hot damn!! Felt comfortable with you since I began watching this series and now I know why. Nakama. Also, in the games you can't travel with more than 1 person at a time and all of our main characters follow that logic in this show which I really appreciate!
Fallout Shelter is both fun and insightful as a game, and a way to engage the show. Like a few others, the show inspired me to replay the game with a brand new vault (replacing my last one, made nearly a decade before, which was a self-sustaining dream).
So much intrigue from this quirky delight led by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (the same husband and wife team that brought us "Westworld" and “The Peripheral").
Great reaction.
Ironically, I think people have a hard time liking Maximus because he's the closest thing to 'real person' in the whole show. The others are archetypes - Lucy's a hero, The Ghoul's an anti-hero. Straightforward and predictable. Maximus? He's just 'a guy'. A survivor of a lifetime of abuse and indoctrination, trying to get by in a brutal world and doing the best an imperfect person can.
Because he's not someone that can easily be put in a category, that unsettles people, because he's unpredictable.
And if there's one thing humans dislike, it's unpredictability in other humans. We dislike it on a genetic/unconscious level, because it threatens our safety. I feel that goes some way towards explaining why people have such a visceral 'dislike' reaction towards him, even though he never actually does anything near as bad as other characters.
I very much think you are right. A lot of people watching this show and hate him do so because he may hit too close to home. He is the average person with little influence and little understanding who just has to roll with the flow and who has no idea were his actions will lead him in the long term. Not all people like to see a character that reminds them of themselves.
I think it’s because he embodies the noob player in all of us. We’re not hating on him but on the part of ourselves that would’ve done the same thing as him once upon a time.
No I hate on him because he's an idiot.
Telling the truth to Lucy would be the good/nice thing to but it's also incredibly naive and risky given that his life is on the line. He doesn't know her, he seams to have fallen for here but she is still a stranger.
Given that the first episode was very "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" inspired I just assumed that Maximums is supposed to be something in between good and bad. That combined with the flashbacks of the knight I just read him as someone trying to become a hero in a world where it isn't possible to be all the way good.
@@batjd no he's just bad
A little in-game lore: Shady Sands was established by dwellers from Vault 15 about 150 years earlier. Different vaults had different opening conditions, some even had none.
So the scene when Norm is reading the trade logs on the terminal is trying to show how every overseer they've had in the past is always someone from 31. And yeah we knew his dad was from 31 since episode 1, Hank told that to Lucy when she was scared to meet her new husband.
The thing you have to keep in mind about Maximus is that he's a bullied kid in an adult's body. From the time he was rescued by the Brotherhood of Steel up until now he's been emotionally stunted. His entire world has been BoS. To him, they're the heroic knights that will bring peace and order to the wasteland, and that's very powerful to a kid that lost everything to violence and spent a good chunk of his life getting picked on. He wants to BE that. I don't think he views it as lying when he tells Lucy that he's a knight, or that he can get her help, just something that's temporarily untrue until he can prove himself worthy.
Injuries cause people to stress and have tension, especially if it's current/recent. That causes adrenalin levels to increase, which is not a good state for most any surgical procedure. Once she gets the new finger, she immediately begins to feel better and relax, which was the real goal Snip Snip.
This is the best and clearest answer that somebody’s given me about this whole scenario
@@funnylilgalreacts There's also the fact that he's hijacked - first set of programming has him fixing people, hijacked program is for stealing organs. He just carries them out in that order 🙂

“Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how”
One of my favorite lines from this show, besides…
“I voted for Betty” :)
Lucy killed her first person with her gray finger. I think it represents how much Lucy has adopted or was changed by the outside world.
Already watched this on patreon, but a like and some engagement never hurts 🤷🏻♂🤷🏻♂
Sooo many good and interesting question you ask!
And yep in the games any vault is a new mystery!
Keep with the fallout🤩
"Whenever you call anything a brotherhood it's a cult."
Or a collective bargaining unit for a trade.
Break the chains, comrade
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that😅
since the power armour is in effect a military tank on legs it stands to reason that it would have some sort of built in waste recycling / removal system, along with nutrient / fluid delivery for long duration missions where you don't exactly want the pilot getting out every few hours to take a drink or have to pee..
I have been enjoying your Fallout reaction videos.
I think what Norm and Chet found in vault 32 was the aftermath of a mutiny/revolt/civil war. The fighting was between the supporters of the overseer and the rebels. The bodies hanging outside the overseer's office didn't hang themselves, but were either rebels hung by the overseer's forces or some of the overseer's supporters captured and hung by the rebels. The fact that everyone in vault 32 was dead makes me think either the overseer triggered a failsafe which poisoned everyone in the vault, it was triggered from vault 31 or it was automatically triggered when they tried to break thru the door to 31. Don't know what the rebels found out about vault 31.
In the Fallout 4 game, suicide by toaster seems to have been a thing. Multiple instances of a skeleton next to a toaster with tableware stuck in it, or a skeleton and a toaster in a bath tub.
21:08 - Hot take. What if this shot is the only time you see Janey Howard post-war?
"That right there, was the most honest exchange we've had so far."
Listen to our episode was to show just how naive Lucy is.
Secondly you were probably talking over it but Betty said she spoke to the overseer of vault 31 and they decided to resettle vault 32. So basically the occupants of vault 31 cleaned up vault 32.
The "Reclamation Day" is a premise for one of the game. Fallout 76. Where we as players are exiting the vault and being celebrated to go and reclaim the world. At the timeline of one and half centuries before the Fallout Amazon Series.
Apparently, just like Maximus said, it didn't work. No wonder really, look at what we as the people did there.
Look, if Max had told her his real situation, why would she help him? He MUST get the target or it's his ass. Also, trusting ANYONE with his secret is exceedingly dangerous. Guilt nags him, no doubt, but he's desperate to avoid the consequences of being found out. Look whar happened when he decided to come clean with Thaddeus earlier in this same episode. Not likely to do that again.

Radaway works by coating all radioactive particles within your body with a gelationous material resembeling partially rendered fat. The way this removes said radioactive is that radaway induces projectile vomiting and/or diaherrea until the radaway is flush from your system.
Brotherhood of Steel from the games had women in same amount as men. But here is a thing about Brotherhood, it fractures and makes different sects with different philosophies every few years it seems. We seen different side of the coin of it in different games and the show brotherhood feels like a different group from those we knew so far.
I love the way they depict Vault dwellers. If they weren't so servile and polite, they wouldn't still be trapped in a vault. All the vault dwellers are so "shucks golly" gullible.
Juicy? Yup..got your meaning…wouldn’t exactly put it that way, but did get your meaning. 😉 Loving your analysis. 👍 also appreciated the hands up bit. 😀
I had planned on watching this show one episode a day, but after episode 3, I just couldn't resist bingeing it to the end. It's wild.
They did a good job with holding information till the time it needed to be revealed, like the purpose of vault 31.
Nice touch with the eyes, Xander XD
Maaaaaaximus. Thaaaaadeus. like that
21:52 So... how much would it cost IRL to clean something like *_that?_*
To be honest, all the dirt and buildup probably holding it all together
You're definitely right about Maximus (fyi the toilet thing probably has to do with his name. You know, Maximus. As in gluteus maximus).
I remember when I first watched this thinking "no way is he going to pull off masquerading as Titus. What happens if they run into a bunch of Brotherhood knights or something? What happens if they do catch up to Thadeus? He's going to get outed real fast.
I took Maximus telliing Lucy "it's just a scratch," was his attempt to display machismo to someone he was attracted to.
I liked your commitment to the bit.
Without any spoilers, based on the games if you can imagine either a social or biological experiment with potentially nightmarish consequences, there was probably a vault designed around it.
Thanks, now I have images of the knights throwing their poop modules to their squires to be cleaned.
Remember the fiends eat people. When they saw Lucy pipboy it was all over. First vault dwellers on average are naive a nice easy target and second for someone that eats people there is no better eating then vault dwellers who had clean air, and water, and food and lived nice sheltered low danger lives.
I thought that they wanted to sell the Pip Boy when they saw it, since it is probably worth a ton of caps
Heeheehee the fiends bit Maximus with someone else's tooth
“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.”
hahaha...committed to the bit....."really, really long scene"....hahahahah.....
I love the Radroaches, they're like wingy puppy dogs.
Max and Lucy are both going on a similar character arc; changing along the way. They're both trying to survive this journey using the tools they were raised with. In the vault Lucy was taught that forgiveness, teamwork, and empathy is the way of the world. Max was taught to be weary of everyone because resources were scarce. To be secretive to protect yourself. And to not hesitate to kill.
It's why I give him the same grace that I give Lucy every time he lies.
I believe the robot put the finger on because that fit it's old programming and then it took the actions which was it's new programming.
I still have one question regarding 31, and the clean up of 32.
how often it happens?
they cleaned the entire place in in 20hrs, so they clearly have experience of doing it.
I love fallout shelter. A fun little game. There is actually a small side mission in Fallout 4 where your help a kid locked in a fridge.
Steph is beyond sus, I agree!
The Brotherhood of Steel is like a post-apocalyptic fraternity in college
In the Fallout games, there are over 40 known vaults. The results from the experiments in some of these vaults are equally hilarious and horrific. The games alone could probably provide ideas for 50 more seasons of Fallout. I'm really looking forward to the next season!
You're a dental professional. Radroaches with incisors should intrigue and excite you!
:D
10:58 no its dog meat not dead meat
...can you imagine the life that Maximus has led to this point? Survivng a bombing from the age of 5ish? Then being taken in by a cult that he views as "heroes"? I understand why he is not the most honest and forthcoming person...
Committed to the bit.. 😂😂😂😂
🤛😎👍👏👏❤️
21:35 My cholesterol's a little high, but other than that I'm fine, thanks for asking. 🙂
