Filly is a town built out of a landfill. It's not Diamond City. My favorite gag in the show is how every time Lucy says "Okey dokey," it's applied to something even less palatable than the last time, and you can hear it in her voice.
I liked her line when she helped The Ghoul. "Golden rule, motherfucker". Up until that point, she never cussed. To me, it symbolized her hardening up to the reality of life in the Wasteland while still retaining her core base sense of morality and decency.
@@Kspice9000 Yea I was very surprised he said Diamond City. My initial thought when watching the episode for the first time was: "I remember walking down that staircase in Megaton". Didn't make me think of Diamond City at all
@@Mate397 Power depleted =\= fusion core being ripped out. The fusion core has a very small reserve power that allows you to use the suit and exit from it (think how a phone battery has enough battery to tell you it's dead). As far as NPCs being ejected when you take a fusion core, that's a gameplay mechanic so you don't softlock yourself if you do it to an essential NPC. It makes perfect sense
@@Snavels The result is the same no power in the suit. (also there is a point when the phone can't even display having no power) Also it's a fucking fusion core that shit can last for centuries but in the 4th game they are like disposable batteries which is just idiotic Bethesda desgin on display. There should be an analog mechanism to unlock the suit if the core is removed/power is lost, basic failsafe for something that people have to get into. We have that today. So no it doesn't make sense.
The Ghoul didn't make Lucy eat the ass jerky. He just made her slice it off for him. Also the sedative used on Lucy was probably over 200 years old and would no longer be as effective.
That's an excellent point. Snip Snip only thinks it has been a week or so since the bombs dropped. So it's not like he's tracking his meds for stuff that's out of date and removing it from his supply. Though I would have thought he'd have used it up previously, we don't have Snip Snip's backstory of when they found him and set up this operation.
Nah cause those turrets are the most inconsistent thing in the games. Either they are deadly accurate or they don't hit shit and you barely realize they're there
Very prophetic to the games. I can’t tell you how many side quests I did only to get distracted by reaching a new map marker or hunting down monsters that had nothing to do with the quest
The ghoul knew about the weakness on the power armor because he was part of the army before becoming an actor. He brings it up to the one dude saying the weak spot cost him friends
@tntnuke659 Because a) Maximus armor was upgraded by Titus to remove that flaw (it was said several times) b) he have regular bullets, not the type he used against knights.. plus he saw how Maximus was unexperienced and want to do some fun and show him his place)
Remember how he insulted his driving of the suit? He knew he wasn't a genuine threat. I feel like if he did, he could've easily killed him. @@tntnuke659
They shot in 35mm. They shot the whole show on fucking film! Even big buget studio films (i’m looking at you the holdovers) end up not doing it for ease of post production and general lack of problems when shot on digital.
in New Vegas Mr House specifies that if he just had another 20 hours before the bombs dropped, the platinum chip would have been delivered and he could have saved all of vegas. He had been preparing for the bombs for 15+ years and if the bombs had dropped just a day later everything would have been different for New Vegas. He has been waiting 200 years to get the Platinum Chip and complete his plan to protect vegas for the foreseeable future

Cooper was a sharpshooter not to mention he’s had over 200 years of practice. If you’re not top of your game after 200 years, wtf have you even been doing!? 😂
Yeah, I'm noticing that. Thaddeaus and Maximus are friends? Did we watch the same Episode 1, 2, and 3? Also, he literally showed video of Lucy shooting a couch. But why do I remember it as her shooting an actual guy?
@@jenniferhanses Lucy also didn't eat ass jerky, she harvested it under duress. To question the vault dwellers desire to integrate the raiders is a very real world view to take. If you put yourself in the ever positive mind frame of a vault dweller this is exactly what you would do. It's a Fusion Core that powers the power armour suit not a power core. Red Rocket Corp. is not Fallout4 exclusive
@@advictoriam3106 Regarding the Vault Dwellers' desire to integrate the raiders, yeah, that is an entirely realistic thing for them to consider. They don't know these people, therefore they don't know that they can't reintegrate them. If you look at the things that say Japan and Germany did in WWII and then look at how we treat Japan and Germany today, that entire country to reintegrated back into the world after bloody and dangerous mindsets took over. So the question is really going to be how one could attempt that, not if they should. They're also not going to be in favor of murdering people. It's not like they have an executioner or even a jail really set up down there.
The 'why does Lucy show up at Diamond City' thing is absolutely just you. The town is called Filly. Towns like Filly and Diamond City use a central main building to generate and distribute power...that'd be the only similarity between them.
Exactly, and id add as the Fallout universe grows beyond just factions and towards a more complex society (like the series would probably explore) you would see more settlements exactly like Filly and Diamond City
@@thegoodone4104 You think the show is going to explore a more complex society? They literally destroyed the only complex society ever established in the wasteland, the NCR, entirely in the show. They're not interested in complex societies, just like the Bethesda games aren't. They want to have and keep the Mad Max style dilapidated, rusty, dirty scrap heap aesthetic forever because they think that's what makes fallout fallout.
@@BobBoberts-n3e Yes they did? Shady Sands was nuked completely out of existence and it is shown in the show that the NCR is reduced to a tiny raider outfit now.
You didn't hear the ten thousand times the name of the city, Filly, is said in the show? You thought when they say "hyuck I'mma be headin for Filly", and the next scene, they're in Filly, they somehow teleported to the other freaking coast to be in Diamond City? Elvis man, are you okay?
This is par for the course with Elvis. every single video of him reviewing a movie or show is littered with him missing major plot points or just being flat out wrong. He’s just kinda dumb lol
On of my favorite ways that the show integrated the games is when Lucy is introduced talking about her strengths for why she should be selected for marriage/reproduction. It's a clever way to incorporate stat selection players do at the beginning of each game in a natural, story driven way.
27:19 Not to be a 🤓 but in one of the flashbacks, Walten’s character talks to the designer of the power armour and mentions the flaw in its design which got a lot of his unit killed, so he was just taking advantage of that weak spot. Still sucks they nerfed it, but I’m glad they at least set it up beforehand.
They have only really nerfed the T-45 and T-60 however. The T-51 uses a completely different design and material so unless we're told otherwise it should be immune
@@bryanadkins6776not really considering both series has a lot of time and care put into them and especially into their lore their severeals hours on both sides and this is referring about the games and then comparing it to the shows or movies yeah you can tell people gave a fuck about what they were doing

Fun fact: They did, in fact, develop the microchip in the fallout universe. However, it was a relatively new invention that occurred only a couple decades prior to the bombs falling, sometime in the mid 21st century, rather than in the mid 20th century like real life. Robco computers actually use microchips, as does the pipboy. The issue is not that microchips don't exist, it's that vacuum tube technology was far more advanced due to being used and improved on for nearly a century before the resistor and semiconductor was invented, causing it to be much more preferable to use as a technology than the rudimentary microchip technology. House was basically the only one furthering the technology and using them in Robco products - alongside vacuum tubes, of course.
the ghoul is also a veteran, so he has expert military training on top of 200+ years of experience. I can see his being able to take out the power armor in one shot.
Here is the thing: 1st, why didn't the Bos shoot him while he was just talking on the stairs. 2nd how the fuck could he see in pitch black ? 3rd WHY didn't the BOS just USE THE HEAD LIGHTS TO SEE HIM ? Legit the only reason he survived is bc tge writers decided to make everyone else in that rook 10x dumber
@@popepisspot1675 Let me tell you a true story. In WWII 3 German tanks came upon 1 US soldier standing in the middle of the road with a bazooka. The soldier blows up 1 tank with the bazooka and then he just stands there. The other 2 tanks sit there for a couple of minutes and then they back away from the puny squishy human who is out of ammo. Why did they do that? Because they didn't believe it could be just one guy standing there, even though it actually was. Because it's not a normal thing to just stare down tanks when you've got nothing left. Instead, they thought it was all a trap. There had to be a catch somewhere. So why didn't the BoS just attack the Ghoul? Because they didn't know what he had planned. And they were in power armor, so why should they be scared until he takes out the first guy? And then when he proves he can shoot out the armor, that's terrifying. Their tanks are no longer tanks, and they just want to get out of there.
What liquid is that? Please tell me for ll I keep hearing is that those vials that The Ghoul injects where never in the games and the Ghoul Child never really explained how he has not gone feral while staying in a box for a long time.
@@JustTooDamnHonestthey don't explain, they never explain how ghouls don't turn feral, some theorize that by stimulating your mental activities, the show came up with that líquid that some say is Radaway or Rad-X, ghouls are kind of a huge Mystery in the series
The Ghoul knows the weaknesses of power armour because he fought in a war in it before the bombs that we saw dropped so he knew to cut the hydraulic cord on Maxs armour so he couldnt use his jet pack things ( idk the word lol ) on his feet and why he shot that specific location on the armour. I do think the yellow liquid is radaway and ghouls take it in this world and absolutely need it if they wanna stay conscious.
@@rigel9228 I mean it's not exactly the first time we've seen a ghoul take drugs to either cope with the ghoulification or slow it down, Hancock ( Fallout 4 ) took Jet.
@@voidvortex0 The entire reason why Hancock became a Ghoul in the first place was because he took some kind of experimental drug. Maybe it's something like that then...
I think Maximus has low intelligence. His dialogue about sex sounds a lot like the dumb dialogue you get in the original Fallout games and New Vegas if you have an INT of 3 or lower. Also, Shady Sands is near Death Valley or Yosemite in the games. They moved it to near LA in the show, which is about 300 miles away.
The NCR losing 1 city and suddenly being completely gone from the region that the show takes places feels like a deliberate F you. Where are the reinforcement from the hub , vault city , junktown , Necropollis , etc ? They had a whole army with recon snipers , heavy units that used power armour , infantry , vertibirds. And if the NCR is still around in other areas then why didn't the NCR remnants in the show try to regroup with the rest of the army ?
They were so drugged they couldn't tell her, that they will be attacked by ferals, but they still managed to kill them. Well, cos Lucy needed to be in safety to experience the Martha ghoul scene. Flawless logic, great writing.
@@iheartblock3792yep. I think of it as they just accepted Lucy's threat and charisma check. Since Lucy immediately shot between them after they tried to explain with "wait. Lady, you don't wanna-" They assumed she wasn't going to take no even if reasonable as an answer at that point.
i remember reading a headcanon that says the reason that the ghoul still uses his old outfit is because that his daughter saw him with the same outfit in the intro so it will make her remember who he is just by the outfit.
The Ghoul shot a specific spot _with a conspicuously custom round_ which had a delayed explosion. If you're getting bent out of shape over some kind of lore retcon, at least understand that this isn't something that anyone else is going to suddenly be capable of doing.
I think you need to watch the series again. The Ghoul never invited her to eat human flesh, only to prepare it. And there is no indication that she did
Also all the other things he messed up on like saying Thaddeus and Maximus were friends before, and that the ghoul knowing the armor weak spots was out of nowhere. But the ghoul knew because he was in the millitary with first hand experience seeing the weaknesses of power armor
@@patrickwilliamson29 Yes but the dude is making unfounded assumptions... that is what most of the people that were angry about the "lore" were also doing.
@@ClaveBBY also, he even messed up the town it looks like. Filly looks almost exactly like Megaton from Fallout 3, not Diamond City which is Fenway Park in Boston
About the power armor weakness, they brought it up twice, once in the past between cooper and bud then he even questions whether they fixed the weakness in the suits the brotherhood had. The ghoul drug could easily have been created in the time between fallout 4 and this show.
@@Icetray1911there's actually a quest with a mobster turned ghoul. It's Nick Valentines personal one if I'm not mistaken. Since you follow his memories around to different police stations trying to hunt him down.
So…my husband is a big time collector. He hyped it up for a long time and I’ve become obsessed. I’m creating custom vaulttec furniture for his collection/office. I’m also throwing a fallout themed party for my son’s first birthday. The fallout hype just makes this all easier
the scene when Max is fighting the raiders, makes more sense when you realize Max has high Luck points and the raiders were probably low in intelligence
You do know that game logic doesn't always work in a TV show setting right? I get what they are trying to do with that. But it breaks the immersion when you are make your characters sound like NPCs.
@@JustTooDamnHonest this show is a continuation of the fallout story, just told in a different style of media. it is very much suppose to use video game logic..
@@wolflower666 Not really for the difference is that one is a video game and so it uses video game mechanics. But in a film or show they can have references, but that doesn't mean that the characters act like NPCs like the one eyed blonde woman who acted like a creepy NPC when she was talking about how different a certain food smelled(yeah not sus at all 🙄).
The flaws in the power armor gets mentioned in episode 4 or 5 when Coop is talking to Bud Askins, who was in charge of rolling out the T-45 power armor for the Battle of Anchorage. Bud said the structural flaws were a pain in the ass, but they sure looked great. To which Cooper replied, "I was in Anchorage, and those flaws got a lot of good men and women killed," which Bud didn't have a reply for and kinda wanders off to somewhere less uncomfortable.
I have never played Fallout but have learned a lot about it from videos on UA-cam and I still loved this series! My husband HAS played Fallout and he also loved the show
I watched Fallout with my dad. He went into it not knowing anything about fallout and I only knew the basic details and I'm glad to say that we both had a blast. I really hope season 2 is green-lit
@@bmkbbk123 it's filled with plot holes and convenient excuses to keep the plot moving. If you stop to actually think about the show at all, it all falls apart. I can give you plenty of examples
@@bmkbbk123 How did the raiders lose on their assault on the vault? They had chems and were fully armed, and have experience against a group of people who's only idea of violence is having a stern conversation. Why did the (forget her name) chick who led the bandits and cold fusion w/e, why did she let the vault dwellers go after making Hank choose between her and the others... why did the robot fix Lucy's finger if he was just going to disembowel her? Righto. Neat scene tho...? 😐 Why did Maximus betray the Brotherhood for Lucy, he was saved by the Brotherhood and revered them. He should be loyal to a tee, makes no sense. Why didn't Thaddeus just open Maximus' face shield, shoot him and take the power armor? His leg was crushed. Whatever, just another convenient thing for Maximus to have the power armor How did the Ghoul survive the punch from the power armor, he would have a hole punched through him or fucking exploded. But oooh goes flying instead. The show just doesn't make sense. I could go on and on but I'm pretty sure thinking anymore about this show will give you brainrot
19:58 - I mean, it varies from person to person. If you take out a raider's fusion core, they leave the power armor, but if *you* are wearing power armor and the fusion core runs out of power, you can walk around as if you were overencumbered if I recall correctly.
27:15 to be fair the ghoul isn’t just hitting a “weak point” in the armor he’s hitting a weak point in the armor with what looks like armor penetrating ammo (I mean look at the solid steel/tungsten bullet in the cartridge he loads up before he shoots the Knight)
I thought Max was going to have to explain to the Brotherhood of Steel why he was wearing Titus' armor. I was thinking of the best fabricated story he could use. "We heard sounds coming from a cave when a bear attacked Thaddeus out of nowhere. He heroic pushed me to the side, saving my life. And fought the great monster. He soon died after killing the beast. But he told me to take his armor and finish the quest." But sometime later Elder Cleric Quintus asked how Thaddeus died. I think he said he died a coward. That was it. No explanation beyond that.
yea maximus said titus died running and the brotherhood being culty as is and not knowing a yao gui attack happened would assume titus was trying to steal the power armor or something
It's so frustrating to listen to Maximus recall the events that got him his suit because he always does it in the most incriminating way possible. It's like he's his own prosecutor. I'm also sick of people using "low intelligence" to justify everything.
@@wisemage0 He isn't the only one. The Ghoul absolutely takes credit for crimes he didn't do. Like the people/ghoul organ harvesting building. "Yep. I killed them all."
@@patrickwilliamson29I think that’ll be interesting, seeing him learn and try to cope with that. I hope that’s where his character goes, instead of a nonsense “find his obviously dear daughter” mystery

That goofy car is a Messerschmitt KR200, which was made in Germany in the 50s by an airplane manufacturer Messerschmitt, which was banned from making planes at the time. But they later got back to making airplanes, so they sold the license for this car and it was produced as more of a novelty vehicle until 1964.
@CountCocofang what a comment considering he is talking about the show which is, as he mentioned, based off the Bethesda games. So obviously that's what I'm talking about.
This is not a good thing, though. The player in a role playing game is not supposed to have universal character traits associated with it. If an RPG does that, it's less of an RPG for it. The reason why the Courier in New Vegas can't be said to have a positive attitude is because the Courier is anyone you want him / her to be. It's a role playing character, it can be happy or sad, positive or negative. The fact that Fallouts 3 and 4 forced a predefined character on you is a bad thing, not a good one.
I feel like a lot of the “plot armor” is purposeful to showcase the “character builds”. Lucy clearly has high charisma and mid intelligence. Norman is high perception, high intelligence, high agility. Maximus definitely has luck (idiot savant max). Ghoul is basically a maxed out character build.
@@rigel9228 I'm sorry you think so poorly of writing. Good writers make it so their characters do not have plot armour because they write it in a way to make sense.
I get why they did it that way. But there is a reason why using video game logic doesn't work in a TV show setting for your characters are acting like NPCs rather then actual characters.
@@JustTooDamnHonest Practically every other video game adaptation got heavily and justifiably criticised for not at all being like the videogame it's based on and not giving a damn about the source material. Just look at the Halo show. At least the Fallout TV show isn't ashamed of it's nature...
1. Diamond City is modeled after boston not really new england 2. all the cars in the tv show and games are unique they actually run on nuclear material hence why coolant and fuel prices were getting so insane so while they look like 50's cars they are not at all
Americans not knowing their own geography, SMH. New England is a northeastern region of the United States comprising the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts.
The wiki page for New England literally says that Boston is the largest city in New England. Fact check your crappy public school education before you go footnoting others.
All the power armor scenes highlight the flaws of power armor. You aren't a walking tank. You're just more protected against bullets. You're a can of tuna when you're up against a 1000lb irradiated bear.
To be fair The Ghoul had 200 years worth of time to train his Shooting skill. For all we know he could have 100 Small Guns and maybe 100 Explosives by the time we met him.
They never spell it out in the show but literal Fridge Logic/Fridge Horror: I imagine the organ harvesters keep the ghouls because they can regrow any organs that are harvested over and over so long as they don't let them die. _That's why The Ghoul was buried - it's mentioned but not dwelled on that someone dug him up every couple of years to take some pieces. Likely to sell for money._ Which may also explain why the robot puts Lucy's finger back on - he's also doing routine maintenance since ghouls _can_ die but only if they get grievously mangled. Maybe they can irradiate subjects to keep them as ghouls, so they weren't going to kill Lucy - they were going to take her liver and her kidneys then put her in a fridge.
@@L16htW4rr10r Max left the fridge, Billie was stuck there for 200+ years… also it’s a world with giant axolotls with fingers in their throats, little green men from Mars type aliens, two headed synthetic/robotic cows and serums to regrow your feet, I’m sure it’s fine if the science doesn’t line up with our world 1:1
"The Fall of Shady Sands" would be like discovering there was a "Fall of Washington D.C." and then the US went on to invade Europe. Can't exactly have been much of a "fall" if they went on to invade the Mojave, stretching their resources as thin as possible. We also heard in New Vegas, that things are pretty good back in NCR, they just don't have the manpower or resources to be colonizing new territory. Also, I think the location of Shady Sands is what people are most confused/annoyed about, because it's in LA, where the Angel's Boneyard is supposed to be. While Shady Sands moved between Fallout 1 & 2, it certainly wasn't in LA. It was a post-war settlement, so there shouldn't be any pre-war buildings.
Hell no they aren't. Most NCR npcs tell you that the main reason they are in the Mojave to begin with is because things are tough at home. They are running out of energy and food, which is their main mission in the Mojave. Securing the Hoover Dam to guarantee a steady energy source, and further develop their crops tech at Camp MacCarran to find a way to grow food with little to no water (the quest that involves the research of vault 22). Ranger Hanlon at camp golf even tells you that the NCR is stretched way too thin, and one of the recruits that has trouble adapting (from the quest where you teach them team cohesion), tells you that he got enlisted because food was so tight back at Shady sands, that his family couldn't afford to feed everyone. The rangers guarding the checkpoint that leads to the I-15, which in turn, connects the Mojave to California, tell you that caravans with resources passing to and fro' are more and more scarce as well.
@@voltus20 Weirdly, nothing about the fucking capital being nuked, weird that they'd leave that out. Weird especially that none of the legionaries would mention that, or House?
@@ijon-y4549 because it doesn't happen until after the events of New Vegas. Jesus, there's a literal clip in this video of Todd Howard explaining that the nuking happens after New Vegas. People need to learn how to read a cronological line.
The Ghoul being able to shoot the Power Armor spots I thought was like he had saved up his critical chance, like you can do in Fallout 4, and used it then.
Perk stats have definitely been incorporated in the series. I think the Ghoul most definitely has a gunslinger build with high luck and agility. These special stats make you able to chose the next perks that would help the gunslinger; Gunslinger, Better criticals, sneak, critical banker, moving target, four leaf clover, action boy, grim reaper sprint and Gun fu. Also perception will come in handy for the ghoul giving it increased accuracy when using VATS and makes the gunslinger build able to get the concentrated fire perk. Also with perception you could get rifleman and sniper perks but most importantly the awareness perk wich helps identify the resistance of the enemy. We know that the Ghoul uses the Cannibal perk wich needs an Endurance stat of 8 and Ghoulish perk at Endurance 9. The Ghoul also most likely has the Lone Wanderer perk. With this build the Ghoul could literally do anything he does in the series
I love how the only Trans Character of the Show hurt themself for Attention. I thought we watch TV to escape Reality. It's the Transistor they never developed.
The town (Tilly? Filly?) is in fact not diamond city, and while it does have some similar features it also completely lacks the surrounding baseball stadium, has a different name and is in a completely different location. Not sure how you'd mix that up tbh
I haven't even heard about Fallout before this show came out. When my boyfriend told me that it's based on a game I wasn't really eager to watch it. I'm so glad I did though. It was the best show I watched in months. It was so satisfying to watch everything coming together, especially because I had no knowledge about this universe or plot of the game. I loved it so much, I recommended it to everybody I know. Can't wait for season 2!
Well it had been 20 years for him and she was much more weathered with a different hair style and lacking her glasses. Also I don't think they were shown to meet earlier.
Honestly the bit where Coop one-shots powerarmor kinda makes sense. Fallout and it's hyper accuracy cinematic kills + a guy that previously worn Powerarmor in pre bomb war AND has been a gunslinger for over 200 years? Honestly, thats one of the most believable things in the show lmao
It was excellent. I work in the film industry and people forget or simply aren’t aware of how much work, passion and commitment goes into making a cohesive production like this.
When did Lucy eat the ass jerky? Did I look down and miss the part where she ate human flesh? She harvested said jerky but I don’t remember her consuming it. How is this guy keep saying that? Anyone?
The reason Goul was able to shoot that single part of the armor was because he used/repaired the same model during the war. Also, he has had 200 years of marksman practice on top of doing trick-shots at birthday parties before the bombs, even dropped! He developed natural V.A.T.S by this point. Even with getting a crit hit on the gulper prior in the show.
I thought that was *exactly* what House was doing. He knew the war was coming, calculated it as best he could, but the bombs dropped hours before he thought they would and the platinum chip was lost outside of the fortified Vegas Strip. At least, that's what my memory says and my memory tells some great stories.
He says that the chip was done and on his way by the time the bombs fell. He needed 20 more hours, and all of Vegas (and potentially the entirety of the Mojave) could have been saved.
people complaining about the brotherhood of steel being culty have obviously not played fallout 1 or 2 because they very much were very culty in those games. While a lot of it may not make sense, I think the show is a very fun watch in general. And it feels like Fallout which is so important for stuff like this
Two small points. First, the town we see in the show is called Filly, it’s not Diamond City. Second, more recent doesn’t necessarily mean better when it comes to power armor. The best pre-war armor in terms of protection was the T-51 model. The best PA overall is probably either the APA or Hellfire. The T-60 was an evolution of the T-45, not as protective as T-51 but cheaper to build and maintain. While I do agree that the welding flaw only really exists so the Ghoul can take down BoS knights, it would be pretty in character for West-Tek to cut corners and not fix that flaw.
i have not played fallout so i watched the show with the openest mind and enjoyed it thoroughly! it actually made me want to pick up a fallout game and play it! i just don’t know which one to start with lol
If you really enjoyed the show, the only Fallouts you may enjoy are 4 and 76 because that's what the show is based on. There is absolutely nothing of Fallouts 1, 2, or New Vegas in this show.
@@jonahulichny9874 Mr. House has like a 45 second cameo in which he completely contradicts his established character from the game. The NCR was bombed and destroyed by Hank, with moldaver and her band of bloodlusty raiders being the last remnants. You're not going to enjoy New Vegas if you go into it with those expectations.
I literally JUST got done watching this show 20 minutes ago. Not a player of the games, didn't know much before hand other than the power armor looked cool. But after watching I'll definitely give the games a try now
Filly is a town built out of a landfill. It's not Diamond City.

He was referring to the big stacks in the center of both towns, they are the reactors powering the towns. Hence, POWER NOODLES
I like that they showed someone getting stuck in a power armor suit. It was in Fallout 2 as a random encounter where you can free someone stuck.
The same suit that was shown earlier to kick something into a building and obliterate it with ease got stuck in a plank of wood? Lol
@@shmeg8695 I think they meant stuck as in the fusion core got ripped out so the suit stopped working. Maximus was stuck in a non functional suit
Honestly that makes zero sense, there has to be a failsafe that let's you out if power is depleted.
@@Mate397 Power depleted =\= fusion core being ripped out. The fusion core has a very small reserve power that allows you to use the suit and exit from it (think how a phone battery has enough battery to tell you it's dead).
As far as NPCs being ejected when you take a fusion core, that's a gameplay mechanic so you don't softlock yourself if you do it to an essential NPC.
It makes perfect sense
@@Snavels The result is the same no power in the suit. (also there is a point when the phone can't even display having no power) Also it's a fucking fusion core that shit can last for centuries but in the 4th game they are like disposable batteries which is just idiotic Bethesda desgin on display. There should be an analog mechanism to unlock the suit if the core is removed/power is lost, basic failsafe for something that people have to get into. We have that today.
So no it doesn't make sense.

The Ghoul didn't make Lucy eat the ass jerky. He just made her slice it off for him. Also the sedative used on Lucy was probably over 200 years old and would no longer be as effective.
That's an excellent point. Snip Snip only thinks it has been a week or so since the bombs dropped. So it's not like he's tracking his meds for stuff that's out of date and removing it from his supply. Though I would have thought he'd have used it up previously, we don't have Snip Snip's backstory of when they found him and set up this operation.
It was effective when she tranqed the cousin

To question the vault dwellers desire to integrate the raiders is a very real world view to take. If you put yourself in the ever positive mind frame of a vault dweller this is exactly what you would do.
It's a Fusion Core that powers the power armour suit not a power core.
Red Rocket Corp. is not Fallout4 exclusive
@@advictoriam3106 Regarding the Vault Dwellers' desire to integrate the raiders, yeah, that is an entirely realistic thing for them to consider. They don't know these people, therefore they don't know that they can't reintegrate them. If you look at the things that say Japan and Germany did in WWII and then look at how we treat Japan and Germany today, that entire country to reintegrated back into the world after bloody and dangerous mindsets took over. So the question is really going to be how one could attempt that, not if they should.
They're also not going to be in favor of murdering people. It's not like they have an executioner or even a jail really set up down there.
just like the tv show
even basic shit bruh, like the entirety of shady sands and its location on a map
The 'why does Lucy show up at Diamond City' thing is absolutely just you. The town is called Filly. Towns like Filly and Diamond City use a central main building to generate and distribute power...that'd be the only similarity between them.
Exactly, and id add as the Fallout universe grows beyond just factions and towards a more complex society (like the series would probably explore) you would see more settlements exactly like Filly and Diamond City
@@thegoodone4104 You think the show is going to explore a more complex society? They literally destroyed the only complex society ever established in the wasteland, the NCR, entirely in the show.

This is par for the course with Elvis. every single video of him reviewing a movie or show is littered with him missing major plot points or just being flat out wrong. He’s just kinda dumb lol
Tbf at first I was confused that they were going from LA to Philadelphia within the space of a single episode lol. The sign cleared up my confusion
On of my favorite ways that the show integrated the games is when Lucy is introduced talking about her strengths for why she should be selected for marriage/reproduction. It's a clever way to incorporate stat selection players do at the beginning of each game in a natural, story driven way.
27:19 Not to be a 🤓 but in one of the flashbacks, Walten’s character talks to the designer of the power armour and mentions the flaw in its design which got a lot of his unit killed, so he was just taking advantage of that weak spot. Still sucks they nerfed it, but I’m glad they at least set it up beforehand.
They have only really nerfed the T-45 and T-60 however. The T-51 uses a completely different design and material so unless we're told otherwise it should be immune

Fun fact: They did, in fact, develop the microchip in the fallout universe. However, it was a relatively new invention that occurred only a couple decades prior to the bombs falling, sometime in the mid 21st century, rather than in the mid 20th century like real life.
Robco computers actually use microchips, as does the pipboy. The issue is not that microchips don't exist, it's that vacuum tube technology was far more advanced due to being used and improved on for nearly a century before the resistor and semiconductor was invented, causing it to be much more preferable to use as a technology than the rudimentary microchip technology. House was basically the only one furthering the technology and using them in Robco products - alongside vacuum tubes, of course.
That particular little black car is a 1950s Messerschmitt (KR200), a German microcar. The yellow car is a 1954 Kaiser Darrin.
Fun fact, The Platinum chip was made the day before the bombs dropped and were to be delivered that day but the bombs fell first.

the ghoul is also a veteran, so he has expert military training on top of 200+ years of experience. I can see his being able to take out the power armor in one shot.

@@popepisspot1675 Let me tell you a true story.
In WWII 3 German tanks came upon 1 US soldier standing in the middle of the road with a bazooka. The soldier blows up 1 tank with the bazooka and then he just stands there. The other 2 tanks sit there for a couple of minutes and then they back away from the puny squishy human who is out of ammo.
Why did they do that?
Because they didn't believe it could be just one guy standing there, even though it actually was. Because it's not a normal thing to just stare down tanks when you've got nothing left. Instead, they thought it was all a trap. There had to be a catch somewhere.
So why didn't the BoS just attack the Ghoul? Because they didn't know what he had planned. And they were in power armor, so why should they be scared until he takes out the first guy? And then when he proves he can shoot out the armor, that's terrifying. Their tanks are no longer tanks, and they just want to get out of there.
One of the Ghoul Vendors in Fallout 4 actually talks about the liquid that stops you from going feral.
Hancock also hints at something when you are building affinity with him
What liquid is that? Please tell me for ll I keep hearing is that those vials that The Ghoul injects where never in the games and the Ghoul Child never really explained how he has not gone feral while staying in a box for a long time.
@@JustTooDamnHonestthey don't explain, they never explain how ghouls don't turn feral, some theorize that by stimulating your mental activities, the show came up with that líquid that some say is Radaway or Rad-X, ghouls are kind of a huge Mystery in the series

Yup it's almost like nobody watched the pre fallout flashbacks 🤦🏻
so did the first members of the brotherhood of steel, they would know about the weak spot as well so why not try to not try to patch it in the T60?
The Ghoul knows the weaknesses of power armour because he fought in a war in it before the bombs that we saw dropped so he knew to cut the hydraulic cord on Maxs armour so he couldnt use his jet pack things ( idk the word lol ) on his feet and why he shot that specific location on the armour. I do think the yellow liquid is radaway and ghouls take it in this world and absolutely need it if they wanna stay conscious.

Watching this while patrolling the Mojave brings me much joy.
Patrolling the mojave makes you wish for a season 2
I think you need to watch the series again. The Ghoul never invited her to eat human flesh, only to prepare it. And there is no indication that she did
She did drink that heavily irradiated water though which is like what made her sick

Why did Maximus betray the Brotherhood for Lucy, he was saved by the Brotherhood and revered them. He should be loyal to a tee, makes no sense. Why didn't Thaddeus just open Maximus' face shield, shoot him and take the power armor? His leg was crushed. Whatever, just another convenient thing for Maximus to have the power armor
How did the Ghoul survive the punch from the power armor, he would have a hole punched through him or fucking exploded. But oooh goes flying instead.
The show just doesn't make sense. I could go on and on but I'm pretty sure thinking anymore about this show will give you brainrot
@bmkbbk123 yeah it's like a 6/10 max. TONS of plot holes and shoehorning.
19:58 - I mean, it varies from person to person. If you take out a raider's fusion core, they leave the power armor, but if *you* are wearing power armor and the fusion core runs out of power, you can walk around as if you were overencumbered if I recall correctly.
27:15 to be fair the ghoul isn’t just hitting a “weak point” in the armor he’s hitting a weak point in the armor with what looks like armor penetrating ammo (I mean look at the solid steel/tungsten bullet in the cartridge he loads up before he shoots the Knight)

I thought Max was going to have to explain to the Brotherhood of Steel why he was wearing Titus' armor. I was thinking of the best fabricated story he could use. "We heard sounds coming from a cave when a bear attacked Thaddeus out of nowhere. He heroic pushed me to the side, saving my life. And fought the great monster. He soon died after killing the beast. But he told me to take his armor and finish the quest." But sometime later Elder Cleric Quintus asked how Thaddeus died. I think he said he died a coward. That was it. No explanation beyond that.
yea maximus said titus died running and the brotherhood being culty as is and not knowing a yao gui attack happened would assume titus was trying to steal the power armor or something

I loved Ella's explanation of lucy " ned flanders in apocalypse "
It kinda works until one realizes that Ned Flanders is absolutely jacked and extremely well armed.
Rico reclaims his title as one of the best side characters ever
This show is so woke they even made Dog Meat female.
(That was sarcasm)
They also race-swapped Dogmeat, he’s a German Shepherd IRL and they made him a Belgian Malinois.
To think this is funny you have to be really slow and a really ignorant NPC.
@@billster7424 I thought i was the only one to notice ha, they are immaculate once trained.
Lucy's "okay, let's do it!" attitude is so similar to the attitude of the player in the games. It works very well.
Depends on which games you are talking about. If it's the badly written Bethesda ones then sure.
@CountCocofang what a comment considering he is talking about the show which is, as he mentioned, based off the Bethesda games. So obviously that's what I'm talking about.
This is not a good thing, though. The player in a role playing game is not supposed to have universal character traits associated with it. If an RPG does that, it's less of an RPG for it. The reason why the Courier in New Vegas can't be said to have a positive attitude is because the Courier is anyone you want him / her to be. It's a role playing character, it can be happy or sad, positive or negative. The fact that Fallouts 3 and 4 forced a predefined character on you is a bad thing, not a good one.
@@CountCocofangit’s the attitude I got from the vault dweller the first half of the first game
@@gownerjones I didn’t play fallout 3 as a positive attitude character. I remember playing him as a jerk
I too was a wife watching in shock. It is funny looking back. Also very good show!
I'm so glad you did this, bro. I love your content.
I feel like a lot of the “plot armor” is purposeful to showcase the “character builds”. Lucy clearly has high charisma and mid intelligence. Norman is high perception, high intelligence, high agility. Maximus definitely has luck (idiot savant max). Ghoul is basically a maxed out character build.
No, a lot of the plot armor is just plot armor... even the best shows these days have it because writers just don't care quite that much.
@@thomgizziz The main characters need _some_ plot armor tho, otherwhise they would most likely just die in a more "realistic" situation.
@@rigel9228 I'm sorry you think so poorly of writing. Good writers make it so their characters do not have plot armour because they write it in a way to make sense.
I get why they did it that way. But there is a reason why using video game logic doesn't work in a TV show setting for your characters are acting like NPCs rather then actual characters.
@@JustTooDamnHonest Practically every other video game adaptation got heavily and justifiably criticised for not at all being like the videogame it's based on and not giving a damn about the source material. Just look at the Halo show.
At least the Fallout TV show isn't ashamed of it's nature...
1. Diamond City is modeled after boston not really new england
2. all the cars in the tv show and games are unique they actually run on nuclear material hence why coolant and fuel prices were getting so insane so while they look like 50's cars they are not at all
Americans not knowing their own geography, SMH. New England is a northeastern region of the United States comprising the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts.
The wiki page for New England literally says that Boston is the largest city in New England. Fact check your crappy public school education before you go footnoting others.
Something to remember: you also don't leave a Vault in Fallout 2, in case someone here didn't mention (I bet someone did, tho).
I think the whole Maximus surviving in the fridge is a call back to the Billy mission in Fo4
The yellow liquid is rad-away you see it pumping into the ghoul's coffin in his intro.
I seriously don't know how he doesn't know this
All the power armor scenes highlight the flaws of power armor. You aren't a walking tank. You're just more protected against bullets. You're a can of tuna when you're up against a 1000lb irradiated bear.
But then the irradiated bear gets merced by some shmuck with a single shot from the pistol
@@shadowantix8018 he shot a 1000lb irradiated bear with a 10mm pistol that can kill normal 800lb bears yes
@@shadowantix8018 little less important but it was 2 shots to the head

@@gruzi. Nuh uh I have 2-76
To be fair The Ghoul had 200 years worth of time to train his Shooting skill. For all we know he could have 100 Small Guns and maybe 100 Explosives by the time we met him.
New Elvis just dropped my night is complete
Getting a beer at the Pioneer Saloon irl was easily top five life moments of all time
Maximus surviving in that fridge is a nice reference to fallout new vegas (with wild wasteland perk) that was a reference to Indiana jones
Lucy didn't eat the jerky. He just made her cut it.
They never spell it out in the show but literal Fridge Logic/Fridge Horror: I imagine the organ harvesters keep the ghouls because they can regrow any organs that are harvested over and over so long as they don't let them die. _That's why The Ghoul was buried - it's mentioned but not dwelled on that someone dug him up every couple of years to take some pieces. Likely to sell for money._ Which may also explain why the robot puts Lucy's finger back on - he's also doing routine maintenance since ghouls _can_ die but only if they get grievously mangled. Maybe they can irradiate subjects to keep them as ghouls, so they weren't going to kill Lucy - they were going to take her liver and her kidneys then put her in a fridge.
I thought The Ghoul was dug up to do mercenary work, since he’s so skilled? That was the implication to me
@@iheartblock3792Yeah he was the dudes who dug him wanted him to kill the doctor to take the cold fusion thing
the way he survived in the fridge reminded me of the ghoul kid in the fridge in fallout 4 XD
Except he became a ghoul, but Maximus somehow still a human
My guess is since he wasnt sealed in he didnt absorb as much radiation, thus preventing raisinification@L16htW4rr10r
Except they've retconned their lore yet again cos ghouls need to eat in FO3
@@L16htW4rr10r Max left the fridge, Billie was stuck there for 200+ years… also it’s a world with giant axolotls with fingers in their throats, little green men from Mars type aliens, two headed synthetic/robotic cows and serums to regrow your feet, I’m sure it’s fine if the science doesn’t line up with our world 1:1
Easy 850 caps for billy
Pretty sure Lucy didn’t eat any “jerky”. The ghoul just made her cut it up for him as a way to mess with her.
We can see Elvis didn't payed attention because Ghoul used to be soldier that wear power armor, so that's why he knew about armor weakness
A made up weakness that didn't appear till the show. Conveniently.
It's called lazy writing and there's a lot of it in this.
"The Fall of Shady Sands" would be like discovering there was a "Fall of Washington D.C." and then the US went on to invade Europe. Can't exactly have been much of a "fall" if they went on to invade the Mojave, stretching their resources as thin as possible. We also heard in New Vegas, that things are pretty good back in NCR, they just don't have the manpower or resources to be colonizing new territory. Also, I think the location of Shady Sands is what people are most confused/annoyed about, because it's in LA, where the Angel's Boneyard is supposed to be. While Shady Sands moved between Fallout 1 & 2, it certainly wasn't in LA. It was a post-war settlement, so there shouldn't be any pre-war buildings.
Hell no they aren't.
Most NCR npcs tell you that the main reason they are in the Mojave to begin with is because things are tough at home. They are running out of energy and food, which is their main mission in the Mojave. Securing the Hoover Dam to guarantee a steady energy source, and further develop their crops tech at Camp MacCarran to find a way to grow food with little to no water (the quest that involves the research of vault 22).
Ranger Hanlon at camp golf even tells you that the NCR is stretched way too thin, and one of the recruits that has trouble adapting (from the quest where you teach them team cohesion), tells you that he got enlisted because food was so tight back at Shady sands, that his family couldn't afford to feed everyone.
The rangers guarding the checkpoint that leads to the I-15, which in turn, connects the Mojave to California, tell you that caravans with resources passing to and fro' are more and more scarce as well.
@@voltus20 Weirdly, nothing about the fucking capital being nuked, weird that they'd leave that out. Weird especially that none of the legionaries would mention that, or House?
@@ijon-y4549 because it doesn't happen until after the events of New Vegas. Jesus, there's a literal clip in this video of Todd Howard explaining that the nuking happens after New Vegas.
People need to learn how to read a cronological line.
@@voltus20Exactly, people need to learn this. The NCR is lacking pretty much everything they need to survive.
-Water
-Food
-Medicine
-Troops
Aaaand yes Mr house in the game cements the lower levels of 21 to not let vault tech use its managers they put in there like they did in 31
The Ghoul being able to shoot the Power Armor spots I thought was like he had saved up his critical chance, like you can do in Fallout 4, and used it then.
That's a cool thought. That he had the perk where you can "bank" criticals, so he had a bunch saved up for the bit power armor fight.
Perk stats have definitely been incorporated in the series. I think the Ghoul most definitely has a gunslinger build with high luck and agility. These special stats make you able to chose the next perks that would help the gunslinger; Gunslinger, Better criticals, sneak, critical banker, moving target, four leaf clover, action boy, grim reaper sprint and Gun fu. Also perception will come in handy for the ghoul giving it increased accuracy when using VATS and makes the gunslinger build able to get the concentrated fire perk. Also with perception you could get rifleman and sniper perks but most importantly the awareness perk wich helps identify the resistance of the enemy. We know that the Ghoul uses the Cannibal perk wich needs an Endurance stat of 8 and Ghoulish perk at Endurance 9. The Ghoul also most likely has the Lone Wanderer perk. With this build the Ghoul could literally do anything he does in the series
The Turret part was hilarious, must have been one of the Turrets we can build to defend our Base in FO4 lol
I love how the only Trans Character of the Show hurt themself for Attention. I thought we watch TV to escape Reality.
It's the Transistor they never developed.
I can't believe I didn't notice that while I was watching it 😂😂😂
couldnt even go 5 minutes without picking a side hahahah
The town (Tilly? Filly?) is in fact not diamond city, and while it does have some similar features it also completely lacks the surrounding baseball stadium, has a different name and is in a completely different location. Not sure how you'd mix that up tbh
Filly
I didn't like the Wilzig turret scene at first too but I think they just made him a full on Int and Luck build and he just basically rolled 20.
I haven't even heard about Fallout before this show came out. When my boyfriend told me that it's based on a game I wasn't really eager to watch it. I'm so glad I did though. It was the best show I watched in months. It was so satisfying to watch everything coming together, especially because I had no knowledge about this universe or plot of the game. I loved it so much, I recommended it to everybody I know. Can't wait for season 2!
Both me and my dad had not played fallout games and we both liked the show and it got me to start playing fallout now
I've never played a fallout game but I absolutely love this series as a fan of apocalyptic movies
The fact Lucy's dad didn't immediately know who muldavre is is the biggest "fuck you, dont think" iv ever seen in any show/movie..
Well it had been 20 years for him and she was much more weathered with a different hair style and lacking her glasses. Also I don't think they were shown to meet earlier.
There is a lot of "fuck you" moments especially when it comes to audience's intelligence.
@@JustTooDamnHonestlike what
@@fnansjy456 You heard me.
@@JustTooDamnHonest jo
Honestly the bit where Coop one-shots powerarmor kinda makes sense. Fallout and it's hyper accuracy cinematic kills + a guy that previously worn Powerarmor in pre bomb war AND has been a gunslinger for over 200 years? Honestly, thats one of the most believable things in the show lmao
The yellow liquid that the ghoul drinks looks a lot like radaway, maybe that’s why he can mantain himself?
It was excellent.
I work in the film industry and people forget or simply aren’t aware of how much work, passion and commitment goes into making a cohesive production like this.
Wait I thought fallout 4 was in Massachusetts, why does Elvis keep saying New England? Am I missing something or was it just an error on his part?
Nevermind I'm dumb he meant New England as in the original colonies not actually England.
Sorry....
When did Lucy eat the ass jerky? Did I look down and miss the part where she ate human flesh? She harvested said jerky but I don’t remember her consuming it. How is this guy keep saying that? Anyone?
Yeah it is never shown in the show that she eats it
@@gordordf1091 ok, I thought I was going crazy. Thanks for confirming that for me.
The reason Goul was able to shoot that single part of the armor was because he used/repaired the same model during the war. Also, he has had 200 years of marksman practice on top of doing trick-shots at birthday parties before the bombs, even dropped! He developed natural V.A.T.S by this point. Even with getting a crit hit on the gulper prior in the show.
I thought that was *exactly* what House was doing. He knew the war was coming, calculated it as best he could, but the bombs dropped hours before he thought they would and the platinum chip was lost outside of the fortified Vegas Strip. At least, that's what my memory says and my memory tells some great stories.
He says that the chip was done and on his way by the time the bombs fell. He needed 20 more hours, and all of Vegas (and potentially the entirety of the Mojave) could have been saved.
people complaining about the brotherhood of steel being culty have obviously not played fallout 1 or 2 because they very much were very culty in those games. While a lot of it may not make sense, I think the show is a very fun watch in general. And it feels like Fallout which is so important for stuff like this
Two small points. First, the town we see in the show is called Filly, it’s not Diamond City. Second, more recent doesn’t necessarily mean better when it comes to power armor. The best pre-war armor in terms of protection was the T-51 model. The best PA overall is probably either the APA or Hellfire. The T-60 was an evolution of the T-45, not as protective as T-51 but cheaper to build and maintain. While I do agree that the welding flaw only really exists so the Ghoul can take down BoS knights, it would be pretty in character for West-Tek to cut corners and not fix that flaw.
i have not played fallout so i watched the show with the openest mind and enjoyed it thoroughly! it actually made me want to pick up a fallout game and play it! i just don’t know which one to start with lol
If you really enjoyed the show, the only Fallouts you may enjoy are 4 and 76 because that's what the show is based on. There is absolutely nothing of Fallouts 1, 2, or New Vegas in this show.
@@gownerjones didn't Mr. House appear in the show, along with Maldavers NCR band?
@@jonahulichny9874 Mr. House has like a 45 second cameo in which he completely contradicts his established character from the game. The NCR was bombed and destroyed by Hank, with moldaver and her band of bloodlusty raiders being the last remnants. You're not going to enjoy New Vegas if you go into it with those expectations.
I literally JUST got done watching this show 20 minutes ago. Not a player of the games, didn't know much before hand other than the power armor looked cool. But after watching I'll definitely give the games a try now
I’m so glad you made this video, love your content and love Fallout 🤘🏻
