/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down Fallout.
-
The series reveals something big at the end and throughout this video I wanna break down the clues. So come with me surfies, Heavy spoilers ahead and if you don't want it ruined then vault out the video. Please drop a thumbs up if you enjoy it and also drop any clues below that you think we might have missed. With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let's get into Fallout!
-
Ok so let's get into it by breaking the vault open and revealing all the clues that said Vault Tec dropped the nukes.
The episodes contain some subtle set and production design choices as well as callbacks and parallels that give away the clues. We went back through and rewatched the series and there's also a handful of lines of dialogue that play in entirely different ways once you know the twist.
Our first comes in the form of balloons at the party, which are all Vault-Tec colors. While, initially, it looks like it could just be for Cooper’s colors, we are made aware of the connection between them and Vault Tec pretty quickly.
This implies that they have a big brother role and are laced throughout a lot of aspects of society.
The Vault-Tec colors are all over this party, from the balloons, to the cake, to the home’s decor. Tt just sets the tone for this series as one where the lines between capitalism and humanity are incredibly tangled.
Later in the scene, when he’s asked to do the thumbs-up, he doesn’t make eye contact with Bob and looks down.

Not only is Betty a vault-tec employee; she’s the assistant to Coop’s wife we see in the flashback
When hank said "I think I know who you are" it has a double meaning. He went and got his kids back from their mom at sandy shores before nuking it. Also, being as vault tech bought the company she was working on cold fusion at, he would likely recognize her from then
I loved the series thought it did a great job of converting the games lore to the series
RobCo. did it.
I may have cracked one of Fallout's biggest mysteries.
I think, despite the consensus up to this point being that Vault-Tec dropped the bombs, that we will come to discover that RobCo. was the one who actually caused (and benefitted the most) from the Great War.
In light of comments made by Tim Cain re: Vault-Tec presumably dropping the bombs, I started thinking about how it wouldn't make sense (in the Prime series at least) for Vault-Tec to be the ultimate perpetrators of the Great War. People have pointed out that it would be pretty inhumane for Barb to have dropped the bombs while her daughter was out and about. And I don't think that she did. I think that the intention of Vault-Tec (and Barb) was to drop one bomb, to scare everyone into the shelters. But I think RobCo. managed to infiltrate Vault-Tec and dropped the bombs. Or perhaps RobCo worked with West Tek in building their own arsenal.
Mr. House was the most interested in *how* Vault-Tec was going to "guarantee results." Mr. House knew (or believed) that Vegas was protected from the nukes, securing his empire. Mr. House has a contingency plan for his survival. Mr. House has the most to gain and the least to lose from the nuking. *And* this neatly ties in with Hank McClean's story.
How did Hank get a nuke to drop on Shady Sands? Who did Hank go to at the end of Season 1? How did Hank get the job conveniently close to Vault-Tec's upper echelon, conveniently close to the time the bombs were going to drop? The answer to all is the same: RobCo.
Hey have u done a break down of taxi driver. De niro. That would be a good one , me thinks
There's a sign in Vault 33, Don't Lose Your Head, which basically sums up the whole main plot of the season as everyone is trying to keep track of the head.
Channels weren't ready for the Fallout series to be good now they are scrambling for Info to make breakdowns
I admit, I thought it would suck.
Well, to be fair...
I was surprised I enjoyed it, "creatives" have a real habit of showing their hate for me.
I'll give the show credit as I watched it all, when the I couldn't get into the games.
However the time it took to tell the story it did seem a bit stretched out to me. I also found its finale to be no more exciting than any other episode. I'm not enticed enough to get excited about another season either.
I think I might rewatch Twisted Metal as I found that to be more satisfying.
@@gman3901 I mean anything you say is invalid if it starts with you not playing the games especially if it's you couldn't get into them but to then end the sentence suggesting Twisted Metal was better, come on. You even play those games? I doubt it...
I was very nervous about it. Never watched the trailers and kept myself out of Fallout-related topics until I've watched the show.
Being a fan of the franchise, the show blew me away!
Betty was also the secretary that greets Cooper.
One of those awkward moments when the Amazon X-ray feature accidentally gave a massive plot spoiler. Took a look again and it looks like they've removed Betty's name from that scene
@@niyaking-khari3515 Oh, didn't even realise that.
But you can hear someone in the background say: "Betty, get in here" or something and then she walks off.
I cud tell by her hair tbh lol Afro for Afro
@@arrogantbandit1that and the actress who cast as young Betty looks like current day Betty. I feel that unlike Hank/Henry, they didn't de-aged the actress to play yoing Betty because not only CGI is expensive, they probably want audiences like me to slowly realize that Betty in the flashback is the same Betty in vault 33.
@@FallenGemini Honestly, I only heard it on my second viewing. Went straight past me the first time.
And yeah, it's a different actress.
Interesting though, "future" Betty looks a bit older than Hank but they seem around the same age in "the past".
What has Betty been up to?
This isn't a connection to that but I did notice that baby Lucy was holding a bright red apple in her flashback about her mom early on. There were no apple trees in the vault.
when she was younger she wasn’t in the vault i thought, well she was but her mom took her out
@datunitedkingdom4480 yeah I love that nod to it without being overt
Aw and Maximus was making that guy look for an apple in the dead tree… a nod they were in the same place together
Also there seems to be no apple tree in the world, not in the games at least. There are, though, pre war snacks called "Dandy Boy Apples" which, doing some research, seems to be candied or just artificially preserved apples.
that line barb said to cooper
“ we need to hurry so we can get a good vault”
now for me i thought she meant a nice one but after rewatch i think she meant one where there wasnt crazy experiments
Oh she definitely meant "a vault where we won't be subject to terrible experiments"
Haven't done a rewatch yet, but have played enough of the games to know most vaults are experiments, and immediately noticed the actress absolutely nail the "oh I shouldn't have said that" look
she said she was trying to get them into a “management vault” which is one that manages all other vaults so definitely one where all the elites are living
I find it funny that she was head of their marketing department yet everything vault tec was inspired by was based on her and her husband. The blue and gold jump suits, the thumbs up, and the slongan "War Never Changes". Which it makes sense that Vault Tecs share holders would be brain washed by their own propaganda. Which would coin the phrase for every executive saying "War Never Changes". They are simply brain washed by the propaganda and marketing they created.
Oh yeah, going into this already KNOWING FO lore...she was talking about getting into a Control Vault. There were not that many of them, but since the Vaults are all a part of one giant experiment, controls are necessary.
Like Vault 31?
I think Vault 33 was the breeding vault because of how free from seggual shame Lucy is. She doesn't even feel awkward when she got married to a guy she didn't know. And just offered to have seggs with Maximus. I think that it is part of Bud's Buds to have the people from vault 31 breed children that become new managers and on and on.
The President being gone was already established back in Fallout 2. All the top leaders ended up forming the Enclave and fled to the Oil Rig
So the Potus and Vault Tech were in cahoots and bombed themselves.😅😢
WTF.
@@ethancoster1324a corporation owning a high ranking government official? Yeah, that science fiction stuff sure is crazy, ain’t it?!😆🤣
@@allthingsnerd.4484 Outside of America it is.
And why the fck did they nuke themselves?!?!
Yeah, as soon as i heard that in episode one i thought "yeah, he should be on poseidon platform by now if i am right."
@@ethancoster1324 That is explained in series.
I think the line
"there you are... little killer"
Is because he was after the Doc, and he finds him with his head cut off, he laughs as he assumes it was Lucy, as she was with him last
And when she saves him after escaping the shop, he realises she isnt the killer he thought she was
When Lucy says that the light in the corn room in Vault 33 felt like the actual sun when she was a child, it's because it actually was the sun, and that memory was actually from when she was living at Shady Sands.
I love when the cyclops puts on the pair of glasses.
HOW Moldaver is still up and running after 200 years? She must have cryoslept somewhere as well as the vault-tec staff?
Maybe she is a Synth?
I've been wondering that as well. It's weird that nobody's talking about it
Clone?
@@byufan My first thought was clone.
We don't know yet. Maybe the smelly doctor's elixir?
Let's not forget, Coop's wife LITERALLY tilted her hand when she said that she's working hard to get them into "one of the good ones" meaning she KNEW ahead of Coop finding out that there were going to be some shady dealings when it came to the vaults and how they would be operated. When he asked what she meant she deflected and subverted into another conversation. That told me all I needed to know about her and Vault-Tec.
I think its pretty cool that she was pretty much head of marketing. She got her husband as the spokeperson of vault tech so you can pretty much say she is responsible for the blue and gold suites and the thumbs up that inspired vault boy . Then the cherry on top. She being responsible for marketing is the first person to pitch the line "War Never Changes". That was the cherry on top. It makes sense that most of vault tecs share holders were inspired by their marketing. Simply to cloud their own judgement.
One of the Not-Good Vaults: Gary? HAHAHAHA, GARY!
5:25, Lucy at that point is unaware of the second nuclear attack on Shady Sands 200 years after the the original nuclear war.
He a brit, he cant see the clues.
I wish Micheal Emerson's character arc would have went further, he's a phenomenal actor.
I wouldn't rule it out in another season. We saw multiple timelines in this season, so why not for Wilzig?
He got to be the head of the series… what more could he ask for?😆🤣
Fallout is setting the world on fire and has started a flame in everyones heart.
Also love the fact that all the nukes we see blow up in the opening scene have no trail behind them, hinting that they were not launched at America, but already there. It gave me the impression that vault tech just buried some nukes around the country, ready to be blown at their command.
I believe the explosion force of nukes is more than enough to clear out any trail left behind by their rocket.
This actually jives with the main quest of Fallout 76 - 'reclaiming' nukes they said were theirs all along.
My working theory is they didnt bomb the american people but the ccp and their retaliation was to bomb america
If you go through it frame by frame you can see that they detonate in the air, which is how nukes are usually detonated to maximize destructive force. So they were most definitely dropped
I'll have to rewatch it but the first one is definitely a ground burst. An air burst would have been higher up. Easy way to tell is if there is a huge crater like Shady Sands. An air burst won't leave a huge crater like that. If it was the Chinese they would air burst them because it's the most effective way for damage and destruction. I learned a thing or two after watching atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb test here on YT 😉
In several of the Fallout games, you get evidence the President wasn't in the Whitehouse for 6 months prior to the war (Fallout 4 in the Boston Bugle office there's info on a terminal entry, and in Fallout 3 you find the Whitehouse)
Every time you open like this, I think it's going to be another Across the Spoilerverse Podcast. I get excited. Then sad. Then hopeful. Then hungry. Well, I was already hungry.
Hungry for Spoilerverse Podcast!
!!!!!!
I find it interesting that Fallout is getting all polished up during these interesting times in the real world.
My question , If Coopers wife was a high up in vault tech , why would she allow her daughter to be out with Cooper and away from safety when the bombs went off ? Wouldn’t she have made sure her daughter was in a vault or in safe location not risking her dying and been with Cooper ?
Same question I keep asking myself. Didn't make much sense to me
I just watched this and made the same comment.
She might not have known exactly when it was going to happen.
The one in charge of VT might have sped up the plans if the peace negotiations were looking good. That person may or may not have informed his executives in the change of plans. But the President was informed because he couldn't be reached.
The show mentions that she grew up in vault 33, she wouldn't know initially but after going to the surface and meeting Moldaver she learned the truth and Hank felt threatened and blew up shady sands in an attempt of damage control and getting his kids back. Unless you're referring to Cooper/The Ghoul, in which case, that hasn't been answered yet, but might be in season 2.
I thought Betty leader of the vault was also the secretary from way back
Yup
You can also see Stefanie Harper's name on the cryostasis pad.
I'm definitely going to start using that in my day to day. "Watch for Hank in accounting, he's a sugar bomb." "Why? What do you mean?" "Acts like a sweet guy to your face but he'll destroy your life if you're not careful!" 😅
If Vault Tec dropped the first bomb/s, there's no way Barb and Coop's daughter would be at a birthday party with Coop. She'd be safe inside a vault.
Yeah the child would have been safe for sure that’s a fair point.
Not necessarily, I don’t believe betraying barb is above vault-tec
Vault tec didn’t drop the bombs
Because while Vault Tec had plans to start the war, the war started on its own (possibly due to Vault Tec actions, but we don't have answers yet).
@@swissarmyknight4306 aliens
There are hints to vault-tec being behind the bombs for years now, one of the best and probley easiest to explain as being a hint is Megaton in fallout 3 and the live bomb there having a vault-tec logo on it
i think the cooper and nukes scene is his dream after he hears the truth. i had this thought because I'm high that's all
Hey Paul - big fan of your content, been watching a significant amount of your content for years now. Thought I’d drop in and say that I like the subtle change to your recording style where you added more shots of yourself in to the video. The hand gestures sold me.
Keep putting out solid content, I’ve always enjoyed and look forward to it and can probably say you’re my favorite UA-camr.
Seconded. He’s not just a pretty voice.
What’s the sleeve, Paul?
I've been following you since before you changed the name to Heavy Spoilers. I had to jump on and tell how great it is to be seeing your face more! Your channel gets better and better all of the time. Congrats to you. Looking forward to the next one. Much love 💙
Ah thank you so much, I’m always nervous trying new things so I appreciate that. Thanks for sticking with me for like 5 years as well. That really means a lot.
Theory time: Coop was the one who wanted the divorce, but Barb still loved him. She knew that despite his misgivings he would bring their daughter to her vault but not enter it himself. So before launching the bombs Barb exposed Coop to FEV to ensure he became a ghoul and that the medicine that keeps him from going feral is a modified version of FEV.
It seems like something all the ghouls need.
And where would he get all that fev drugs for 200 years?
Very interesting take! Barb gives me sociopath vibes so I wouldn’t expect her to look after coop after the bombs drop. But your theory makes sense!
Except Cooper, very clearly does not know which vault his family is in. Fev doesn't make ghouls, at least it never has in the past.
also no one knew if there even would be ghouls after the bombs it would be interesting to see though how he got separated from his daughter since he was by her when the bombs fell
@@joshuagiehll3737 I've heard the FEV Ghoul theory since a long time ago as a reason for why some become ghouls and regenerate from radiation rather than becoming sick. You are right about Cooper not knowing the location, but he obviously believes his wife is still alive and has their daughter, so she got her from him at some point after the bombs dropped.
Moldaver learned about vaultec wanting to drop the bombs, sucked up to bud, got frozen, broke out, left clues in vault 32.
Thanks for the extended breakdown, Paul! So excited about the show, and I can't wait for S2!
One more thing, Hank Bomb Shady Sands, he and the other executives from vault 31. So Betty was probably in on it as well.
You keep making fallout videos, and I’ve re-watched fallout three times! ❤
Me too! Makes rewatching the earlier episodes more compelling. Same with x-men 97
Another good one Paul.. I loved the fallout series especially having zero knowledge of the games.. I started watching as I love post apocalyptic genre and this didn’t disappoint.. really enjoying all the additional commentary filling in all my gaps of knowledge 😜 cheers from 🇦🇺 mate
Thank you, much appreciated
I just realized that the reason she said no dogs in the vault night be because she was trying to get into vault 31. How terrifying it would be to wake up from cryogenic sleep, to a pack of dogs eating you like a TV dinner.
The thing I noticed in the very first episode was you don't actually see any bombs drop. Now I chalked this up to them being small enough to not be visible from the distance from impact that the party was, but it was implied that Vault Tec might have done it, I now think it's equally possibly that it could be because they were never dropped but planted.
I don't think those would be visible at all from that distance. Those were quite small explosions for the technology available, likely the whole nuke is smaller than a trash can.
lets hope Earth doesn't end up a wasteland
Love the background of your studio..
7:49 - - This is also Betty from Vault 33 (she got voted to be the new overseer)
There's a line where Barb tells Coop that "they made it in your colors", then handed him the vault suit. So that implies that Cooper's cowboy colors were the inspiration for the vault tech colors not the other way around.
and it would also explain those colours being the theme of the birthday party
Something's wrong, this isn't another Deadpool trailer analysis.
I can't believe they pulled it off. A good Fallout tv show. I'm so happy.
For 10 years I've been saying that Vault-Tec was involved in the use of nuclear bombs.
They had to have known the date years in advance.
How?
Every vault completed on time was completed before the bombs fell.
Every uncompleted vault was delayed. No on-time vaults were only partially completed.
So if someone came up with a vault idea in August, it would have been rejected as a waste of resources, because Vault-Tec knew the dates the bombs would be falling.
I have challenged anyone to come up with a single vault that was not complete which didn't have a story of delays. So far nobody could name one. But I'm happy for anyone to prove me wrong.
The only way this could have happened is if Vault-Tec had some knowledge of the bomb's date, months or years in advance.
And the only way that would happen is if Vault-Tec was playing both sides. So, just like Wal-Mart is HQ'd in the US and "big" in China, Vault-Tec was in both.
Vault-Tec is an international company. They have a "national" HQ in the US, but no "world" HQ in the US. PRobably no "world" HQ anywhere, because like most multi-nationals they HQ in Bahamas and have a world HQ on paper in Ireland, for a double irish dutch sandwich (a tax avoidance scheme).
And the large makers of devices seen all over fallout have names like GAI (General Atomics INTERNATIONAL), also implying a global presence.
Different embargo rules, more countries willing to bypass embargos, or other things would allow the Fallout world to be more "global" than we are now. Today, large companies like Apple and others have large facilities in China. It wouldn't be that big of a stretch to think that enough economic activity would link the US and China, even when they are at "war". The American Flags in patriotic Wal-Mart are made in China, so why can't my GAI Mr. Handy be made in China? With QA failures being sold locally in China? That happens now. So China could have Vaults, Power Armor (from units captured in Anchorage), GAI robots, and lots of other "American" influences.
And China could have been steered by these large corps for the good of the corps.
So the corps were in a position to know when the resource wars were coming, and steered the "demand" for specific resources to lean towards places which caused conflict, and have local places from which to spy and influence, on both sides.
It just works best when Vault-Tec and others were playing both sides.
Meh seems pretty obvious to me that vault tec shot first. I just love that as a story element
I think Chet killed the imprisioned raiders, in this scenario Steph would have talked him into doing it after Norm showed no signs of interest in following through. Of course I believe Steph was directed by Betty to get it done in exchange for appointing her as overseer in Vault 32.
I also believe that the Ghoul's wife is in Vault 31 and that his daughter is sadly dead. I have an idea that maybe Coop got her to the Vault Tek building and was betrayed by either his wife or Bud, that would mean the daughter is also alive as I would assume they would have a way to get her to Vault 31 underground from the main building (for the daughter surviving it needs to be that way though because otherwise Coop would know where they are).
My biggest reach theory is that Thaddius is going to show back up when he's a bit more ghoulified and conveniently remember reading something about VATS while back at the Brotherhood and teach Lucy how to use it.
Finally, I think Muldaver isn't dead, at least part of her wont be dead the next time we see her. She was gut shot, so it's possible she survived and was just passed out and not dead. It would be in the Brotherhoods interest to keep her alive because of her knowledge of the cold fusion device, and if the wound is mortal there are a couple ways they could preserve her brain. Either as a robobrain or in a computer.
Damn, bro. You mention the sugarbomb commercial on the TV at the beginning but failed to notice the weatherman RIGHT before that say something to the effect, “why should I report the weather when we aren’t sure there’s even gonna be a tomorrow”, the lady immediately changes the channel as he finishes saying that. Even my 60 year old always-on-his-phone dad who doesn’t bother looking up at the screen when he’s watching something caught that. 🤦🏻♂️😂
As a fan of the games, I have to point out that while Vault-Tec was sketchy, and obviously willing to do whatever was needed to ensure they fulfilled their "fiduciary responsibility", it was China who started the Great War. Vault-Tec definitely had connections in the government, and there are lots of clues that Vault-Tec employees knew something was going to happen, but China beat them to the punch unexpectedly. It's also important to know that "the Enclave" were actually people from the US government bureaucracy who did the same kind of thing that Vault-Tec did (making sure their highest people were protected and could survive). I think the show is setting the Enclave against Vault-Tec, which I'm sure will become more obvious in seasons moving forward. It's been super fun to see how the show supports the games' canon while pushing deeper into the lore and uncovering new information.
China had spies throughout the US government, and businesses too. Combine the 'missing' president and reports that Vault Tec might be willing to drop the bomb themselves, they may have concluded that the only chance for them to survive is to strike first.
yeh i feel like these breakdown channels are forgetting the entire lore behind fallout and only focus on the series, there is enough to know that china launched nukes after losing anchorage, and yes it might have been that vault-tec helped a bit by nuking certain areas to speed to up the shelter progress but its well known the entire world got nuked by that point.
@@leflyxdvd actually that's not entirely true. There are whole threads of discussion about this in the Fallot lore reddit. While it was heavily implied, it was never 100% confirmed that China dropped the first nukes. And even if they did, there's also the posibility that Vault-Tec somehow managed to make the chinese fire their bombs, maybe faking an attack or disrupting their sensors, who knows.
I think they triggered the war
@@leflyxdvd China may have nuked the US pre-emptively due to learning of Vault Tec's plans to start a nuclear war.
When his thing is thumbs up but also that’s how you tell if you need to run
Vault Tec = Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc.
Thank you so much for not spoiling things in your title. I wish other channels would follow suit.
Hey, Paul! Maybe you should get a few more funko pops. I think I saw some empty shelf space back there.
Will you be doing a breakdown of boy kills world?? It was a great thriller, action-packed movie (lots of gore), but man was it a lot better than I expected going into it.
I follow that clues and one is the nuke in Megaton is made by Vault-tec
Great very nice.
Lets see definitions analysis
I’m not a gamer, I don’t know anything about the games, started watching this by chance and now hooked!
great detailed breakdown
Pretty sure Betty was coopers wife’s assistant
Bud talking with Cooper about the flaws in the power armor, that dialogue from a report found in one of the terminals in Fallout 4.
One of the ironic lines from Lucy I was after her and Max leave Vault 4, she says something to the effects of "If my dad found out I destroyed a community to save him, it would break his heart." When his deeds do confirm Vault-Tec does have nuclear arsenal technology.
2 months into my membership and it’s worth it you guys
Rewatching the first ep today, I had a theory that after Coop overheard the meeting, he eventually split up with Barb and ended up getting that plot of land in the country. Which is where he likely ran off to after the bombs dropped
Looking forward to a synopsis when this is all wrapped up. I don't have streaming so this is how I get to enjoy shows like thìs.
Do you need a website to watch for free?
The atomic bomb in Falllout 3 in Megaton City (that fall but didn't explode during the war) has a VAULT-TEC logo on itself.
I never quite understood why Cooper cut the other ghoul up for food. Were they that desperate for something to eat, or is that drug that keeps you from going feral made from ground up ghouls?
The super duper mart scene definitely hints at something like that. The ghouls locked in cages, the organ harvesting Mr. Helper bot, and those tweakers trading out the drug easily enough like it’s not hard to come by or produce. We don’t know the exact process yet, but the clues are there for sure.
because he's a hardened survivor... Rodger was his friend. he's dead now, if he doesn't eat him something else in the wasteland will. his friend is dead, its just food now. "a man's gotta eat". he just does whatever he has to. it shows how broken he is, the humanity is faded. he doesn't see ppl any more ur either useful to him or you're not and when your not ur just a resource
Cannibal Perk.
@@vkdeen7570 I think Cooper's humanity hasn't faded. He proved it right there in that scene. He shot Rodger in the head without warning, letting his last thoughts be happy ones. Those of us watching the show can see it, because we're familiar with the idea of mercy killing. Lucy can't see it, because she simply has no idea of it. (But Lucy learns.)
One thing that sharp-eyed viewers have noticed is that Cooper still wears his Sheriff shirt underneath his outer garments. They've interpreted this to mean that his original nature is still down there somewhere.
My own interpretation is that he still has the same humanity, but he's purposefully hiding it. He's an actor. He knows how to pretend to be something he's not, when he has to. And he has to. He pretended to be after "the artifact" when he was really after Hank.
And then he makes it seem, to Hank, that he's after his family. Another deception, I think. If Vault-Tec thinks he's just a dad looking out for his family, they won't realize what he's really after and what sort of threat he really is.
After Hank leaves, Cooper doesn't mention his family at all, to Lucy. Instead, he talks about how there's someone else pulling the strings, and he's going after that one - the head of Vault-Tec. Cooper realizes that Vault-Tec is a voracious feral ghoul that needs a shot in the head. I think that's his true goal, and he could use Lucy's help.
I recall that Cooper said at some point ... "Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how." He says it dismissively enough that you think he's just cynical all around, but ... he didn't explicitly exclude himself. I think he's got a very specific idea of how to try to save the world, but he keeps his secret plan to himself ... until Lucy. By episode 8 he knows Lucy is unusually capable, despite her inexperience. And he walks in to see she's pulled a gun to her father's face. So he knows Lucy has found out the truth, and she's got the right sense of morality. Family always comes first? Nope. Lucy gets it. She just needs to know ... there's someone even worse higher up than Hank.
So I don't think Cooper has lost his humanity. And I think he isn't worried about Lucy losing her humanity, because he sees himself in her.
@IsaacKuo its not fully faded but he's become jaded. like u see with the dog as well... sorta there but not there. u see it more when he watches himself in the movie. he's struggling to retain his humanity vs cold hard survivor
It wasnt confirmed that Vault-Tec actually dropped the bomb (if im recalling correctly) they only said they would do it themselves if things dont appear to being going their way.
someone else gets it!
Idk why norm doesn't just threaten to awake all the frozen people or just threaten bud himself lol. That brain in a jar wouldn't stand a chance against even norm. He doesn't have to freeze himself like bud says (granted we don't see his choice)
I think Bettys gonna come to the rescue. Him saying they should kill the raiders really impressed Betty which is why norm stayed in 33 while all the other cowardly types went into 32.
@@diddlingdoom3133 true just funny if he let's a brain n a jar give him an ultimatum.. Like no open the door or ill smash your liitle jar wide open then how do u plan to manage?
@@diddlingdoom3133I can def see it going that way for sure. I got more of the feeling that she’s keeping him close to stay under her thumb and separating him from Chet. Now thinking about it, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stephanie chose to seduce Chet to keep an eye on him as well. Both of them are already on their radar after helping Lucy escape.
We don’t know what Norm is going to do yet. It left off with him just standing there
@@Pop_Shepski yeah that's what I said at the end we don't see what he does.. I would just threaten to smash the cryo machine hub forcing the people in cryo sleep to be stuck forever if he didn't let me go lol
I noticed when Vault tec is having a meeting with the other companies, the map of the US with the ring light above looks like a mushroom cloud
Can you do a breakdown of the film platoon, please?
Mr Spoilers out here drop bombs like his Mr House on Pyscho.
In the flashback with Hank and The Ghoul, you can kinda see Betty in the background! She’s blurry, and it’s not 100% obvious, but my gut tells me it’s her.
7:49, the secretary's name is... BETTY!!
I know I was surprised he didn't mention this
I don't want to comb the comments so if this has been said just deal with the repeat. Moldaver was not a fan of Vault Tec because she worked for a company that was bought up by Vault Tec... said company had her making that cold fusion thing that was activated at the end of the season. She wanted to get it back out of their hands (she says because she created it to help humanity) so she used the folks that weren't happy pre and post bomb drops as pawns for her goals. Also, if you paid attention to the dialog at the birthday party they call Cooper a commie traitor. This indicates that he was caught spying and caught as a member of that Hollywood group Moldaver was leading causing him to be blackballed from his career. This would have caused his wife to divorce him because if she hadn't she would have also been labeled as such by Vault Tec as well. Coopers reaction to Hank makes me think that Hank was the one to blow the whistle on him. There was so much going on in the first season! I am looking forward to the next one.
Betty was the secretary also when hank walked in at end
A massive clue is the design of the explosions from episode 1. They were all ground explosions. Nukes from rockets are areal detonations. Meaning the explosion happens before it hits. Unless the governments are using gravity bombs still. Also there was no jet streams leading down. That was my biggest clue to it as Vault Tech blowing it up
I wonder if they’ll reveal who the BOS Knight is in the armor that finds Maximus?
If you look at the wallpaper in the vault rooms, the “fish” patterns are shaped like bombs
At 259, in the Vault-Tec meeting, the map of north america and the halo lighting on the ceiling looks like a mushroom cloud.
We've kinda known that Vault-Tec did it since 2008; Fallout 3, the evidence is literally all over Megaton's defining feature.
Who shrunk fusion technology? I believe that was the split point in the timeline.
So here's the thing... I don't think they did. I think they were planning to, but, I don't think they were successful, hence the unfinished vaults in fallout 4, and the fact Janie wasn't already with her mother. I'm actually wondering if, A, the Chinese found out about FEV, which was against the rules of war and a good reason to launch first, or, my other thought... the Enclave did it. And my reason for this is the Enclave actually started Vault tec, and then the company grew out of their control. Because of this, they probably knew vault tec's plan, and realized they were being betrayed, and realized the only way to beat them was make sure the war happened before vault tec was ready. So, they pulled out of the country literally days before it happens, so, they were fully ready, and, then conveniently, they were right, and the war happened, and the enclave seemed to be the only organization that was relatively unbothered by the war happening. In fact, they proceed to go around finishing off anyone that isn't them, almost like they're finishing the job per say, while also going around and collecting data from the vaults, and continuing to experiment in this world without rules. So.. yeah. I think vault tech planned to, but I think the Enclave knew what was up and did it specifically to throw a wrench in vault tech's plan and secure the future for themselves instead.
I think Moldaver is a Synth made by the real Moldaver.
Nice
Not just some of the vaults were used for experiments. All of them were, except like 2 of them that were used as control groups.
Pretty sure it's not in your investor's best interest to nuke them 😂
If the Vaults were more militaristic and focused on actually reclaiming the Wasteland i can see.. but homeboy, them blues would die seeing a Deathclaw with 2 broken legs lol.
THANKS
Like 90% of these are big stretches, seeing nuclear stuff all over the place doesn't "hint at vault-tec", in the Fallout universe CARS have nuclear engines, nuclear tech is everywhere.
The president being missing is a callback to the games.
Deju vu, or did this get re-uploaded?
we get early access to it so it feels like deja vu
But if Vault tech was behind the nukes why wouldn't the ghouls wife let him on it and her daughter when they dropped?
I read that he ended up going to Bakersfield by himself or with his daughter and unfortunately he was exposed to nuclear radiation. I believe the vault was volt 12 or a volt that intentionally was left slightly open to see the causes of radiation and that caused his ghoul appearance. As well with his daughter
they divorced
i’m ep 1 he mentioned alimony
If Paul followed the Golden Path 😂
I mean this in the best way possible....when I hear your voice I don't picture you looking the way you do.
I think the vault and factions mentioned in the bigt meeting all represent the different evolutions of BoS, Vault Tec, etc. And where was Betty? The Brain-on-a-roomba is trapped in such a way I doubt it was an accident.
"Vault Tec were prepared to drop the Nukes" is not the same as "Vault tech dropped the Nukes"
DO EPISODE BREAKDOWNS
Am I mistaking that the assistant at Vaultec was Betty? I swear they called her Betty when young Hank was introduced
Betty was in the wife's office too for a brief moment
@2:24 I had assumed it was a Silo reference. Similar premise to the vaults, but they have to send people out to clean the camera that is a live feed to a large tv in the mess hall. It is the only view of the world outside. They put people in suits with VR headsets when they go, it is a one way trip because the environment is so destroyed and toxic (like a reddit topic HEY-OH!). The vr headset makes the outside world look beautiful and full of life. The ones exiled think that the outside world is fine and proceed to take off their protective gear. They die shortly after seeing the real world as ugly and destroyed.
I love how people are just surviving nuclear holocaust left and right in this world meanwhile, anybody who was in contact with the radiation at Chernobyl their faces fell off and they died
