    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.

    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?

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.

      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.

    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!

    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.

      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!

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @Scyth0r
    @Scyth0r 7 місяців тому +48

    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.

    • @hanham963

Not all people like to see a character that reminds them of themselves.

      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.

  • @ArmouredPhalanx
    @ArmouredPhalanx 7 місяців тому +2

    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.

    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.

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.

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.
