Fallout 1 was definitely darker than what came after, but goofy stuff was there from the start. And just a year later Fallout 2 would have multiple monty python references, a literal ghost, ridicoulusly over the top villains, fourth wall breaking characters, a entire city's worth of gangster film rerefences and even time travel in one random encounter.

    • @MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive
      @MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Місяць тому +35

      If you're familiar with weapons you'd notice in the finale's battle they had a close up of Cooper loading a SLAP round into his revolver. SLAP (saboted light armor penetrator) are specialty rounds to punch through armor but would zip right through flesh leaving a minimal wound channel. Whereas in the Filly gunfight and most of the show, he was using expanding rounds which do maximum damage and trauma to soft targets but will just splat like a bug on a windshield and spall against armor.

    • @MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive
      @MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Місяць тому +14

      IRL SLAP rounds are absurdly expensive. Don't buy suspiciously cheap ones. Doug from the YT channel Kentucky Ballistics was seriously iniured and almost died when a fishy .50 BMG SLAP round he bought online exploded. It sent shrapnel everywhere, collapsed his lung, narrowly missed his carotid artery after entering his neck, broke his thumb, and would've blinded him were he not wearing safety glasses.

    I couldn't stand Maximus right up until the last episode (spoilers). Every time throughout the show that he managed to grab power (becoming a squire, taking the power suit, bullying Thaddeus) he would get this stupid, self-satisfied smile on his face because all he wanted was power over other people. But in the last episode, the whole brotherhood is cheering "All hail Knight Maximus" and he just looks DONE with everything. I thought that really put a nice bow on his developement and just brought me fully on board.

    I'm glad they held off on creatures for now. They did a great job of creating the gulper and got great value out of it being revealed to two different sets of characters. Then to go into the detail that its mouth is made of fingers is hilarious. The fact that they explain it in vault 4 as being mutated humans was great for world building.
    I think if new viewers came into this world being inundated with CGI nonsense creatures it would be so difficult for new viewers to get onboard. They also didn't have to overstretch the CGI budget, but now I think they've laid the groundwork to really open up that side of the world in season 2. I can definitely imagine them inventing a fan-favourite super mutant sidekick or building a whole episode to reveal the horrific centaurs.

    The detail to the props like those in the Filly stores were great. Many of the signs were dead on and the inclusion of game music was very well done. Lucy's progression was done well too. That acting was top notch, I really felt for her brother back in the vault.

    The show was fantastic.
    I'm glad it's officially canon to the game series and am intrigued by what they'll do with a new New Vegas Fallout story.
    Also Cooper officially being the inspiration for Vault Boy was really cool.

      I wouldn't be surprised at all if obsidian is cooking a new fallout game right now since bethesda had their hand full with starfield and now oblivion

    This show has convinced me once and for all that we’re no longer watching stories anymore but watching content. I wonder what the next IP will be to get the same kind of treatment

    The only thing i didnt care for was Maximus’ awkward dialogue in that one vault. And even then it wasn’t horrible or anything. Just didnt land with me. Super solid show overall

      That's a thing that I think was done beautifully. It's the nuclear post-apocalypse; EVERYONE'S gonna be a little wonky, and like Matthew said, Maximus is extra awkward *on top of that*.

      Vault 4. The mutant vault (not super mutants, just mutants)
      I'd been awkward too. I believe It was trying to show how "out of his element" he was.
      He's gonna trip and fall backward straight into authority.

      @@taylemgames2652 Indeed. Maximus is the only character with NO agency. He is just reacting randomly to different events xD One moment laughing and 2 seconds later looking dead grim. Does not sell it at all.

      Absolutely loved Maximus. You can sense theres a dark side to Him. I nearly thought the reveal was He was going turn into the bad guy. But He kept surprising me how goofy and kind hearted He was. Plus His friend at the base was a real one. Definitely made me think of the companions from the games.

    Goggins is amazing, really glad he's in the show. An easier sell, for sure. Looking forward to watching the season

    Avoided many YT vids until I got to see the last episode. Aye, they did seem to get it, nail it, without overplaying the fan service at all. The mood and tone set, how they handled the Fallout world and lore, to me was spot on. The arguments over New Vegas were bound to erupt online. But for me, the show would be daft to really decide to go after and crap over NV, would be an own goal to do so, I think. Rambling... Once again, your enthusiasm and love for games (in general) is a joy to watch. And, give that dog a good scratch behind the ear! That was a pause "oo, look at him" moment, indeedy and Okie Dokie (sorry, had to?).
