      I liked watching it and have already rewatched it twice but it could have been so much better. Even with just a change of setting. Would have been awesome as a Texas story, but was mid as a West Coast story.

      The actor really embodies being a rat in real life. Luckily, that carried over in the show. The character is very weak, timid, short, and rat-like. It's perfect. He even used rat poisoning on unarmed prisoners. That's a nod to actor's ancestry. They came over with the Italian and Polish rats on Ellis Island.

    They did a fantastic job with the characters have such interesting personality and arcs even if they aren't the "main" characters of the show, and Norm was such a great character to watch the camera start to slowly pan to I felt like, as in the beginning with Lucy's intro he seems well lazy and unlikely to do anything, so though he is funny and likeable, we kind of disregard him only to realize that he is brave and a hero in his own way.

    In most cases, the vault’s storyline would have been the boring part of the show. ‘Let’s get back to the surface!’ But the team did such a great job that I was just as exited to see Norm what he was up to. And Moises’s performance played a big part in that. The cousin was great too 😂

  • @testfire3000
    @testfire3000 19 днів тому +2

    I honestly thought Norm and Chet were both just throw-away characters when I watched episode one, because ... Lucy left the vault and her story went with her. But I was so pleased when they came back to the story back at home which we never got in any of the games. And it was fantastic! The Vault story was every bit as interesting as the rest of the show.
    My prediction for Norm in season 2: He doesn't have to go into the cryo-pod right away. He can threaten Bud, he can threaten to sabotage the other pods if Bud doesn't let him out... or... yeah, otherwise he is screwed. lol
    Love it! Lets get to season two!

    I have to say his character was a pleasant suprise. I fully expected him to dissappear once lucy went to the surface, but his story was probably the most interesting in that his char does the most to expose vault life, and teh truth hidden in the vault creation. I kinda identify with his char the most as far as his reactions, double entendres, suspicious nature, and need to risk it all for the truth. I also love Betty as the unlikely sweet grandmother villian.

    Would love to see Norm use his hacking skills to impersonate Bud and get himself sent out of the Vault (selected to retrieve a new water chip? With Chet backing down and joining the masses of obedient vault dwellers it's not like Norm has any reason to feel safe in the Vault anymore) in order to track down and reunite with his family, maybe by tracking their pipboys. I could see him develop the skills to be a PER/INT build type of fighter. Maybe take up trapping and ambush tactics, hack and reprogram robots to serve as his frontline companions while he develops long ranged support shooting with hunting/sniper rifles (starts with a .38 bolt-action pipe rifle and works his way up to .308 hunting rifle, maybe eventually a .50 sniper rifle when he's older and stronger). I could just picture when he finally catches up to Lucy, he's scavenged an NCR ranger set (duster, armor, and helmet worn over his vault suit, maybe with a 33 stylized on the back of the duster) while accompanied by a host of combat robots like assaultrons, mister gutsys, and sentrybots. These are my thoughts on how his character could grow to become more rounded by shedding some of his weaknesses in a believable fashion. He gets stronger as a fighter while Lucy loses her naivety.

    Finding out he's actually two years older than Ella Purnell made think on the characters' ages. Maximus' is the easiest to formulate since we know he was a kid when Shady Sands got nuked, but there is no way he's the same age as his actor's 35; going by his younger version's actor, he's probably somewhere around late 20s. Lucy and Norm are confirmed to have been born before the nuking, so probably a little younger than Maximus.

    I have a weird feeling he is going to have a wild overall arc.. I don’t see him as a the “bad guy” but he has too much of his father in him. I also don’t blame him for wanting to kill the raiders, but I think he will become conditioned to be ruthless and only prioritize the vault dwellers. Until the last season when he finally reunites with his sister and realizes how far he has fallen. Then he sacrifices himself for the commonwealth. 🤷‍♂️.
