Well, think about it. A hen's cloaca can stretch wide enough to pass an egg, so that'll give us a baseline for what kind of girth it can handle. It's pretty substantial for an animal of that size.
"I'd offer you one of these cherry tomatoes, but you got a hole in your neck" is just one of my favorite line deliveries ever. Walton Goggins is just a national treasure.
The pure shock as the puppy is put in the incinerator will never not be hilarious to me. Also, the turret being super inaccurate is actually accurate to the games, at least 4.
Turrets in Fallout 3/New Vegas hit you fairly accurately, but they usually burst fire, and unless you just stand there saying "oh!", "ah!", "ooh!" "aaah!" you can just casually stroll behind cover and take your stims.
Fun fact in case no one else has mentioned it, in Die Hard, John McClain's daughter's name is in fact Lucy. I don't know if that's an intentional reference, but it works any way lol.
Fun fact about the 'Dentist Barber' thing. thats actually true. And its the origin of the 'barber pole'. The red white and blue spinning thing outside. White meant you cut hair, Blue meant dentistry, and red meant doctor. You didnt have to be able to read to know what services were offered

Doctors were by and large academics who didn't get their hands dirty, and all the actual physical work was done by people with little formal education.

I can't imagine a faster way of establishing "this is a faction of bad guys" than showing a puppy incinerator. PS: When the Brotherhood was announcing the target this episode, they said he came from the Enclave, which is another faction.
I love Fallout but hate how they made the Enclave the bad guys, America was controlled by Vault Tech and 5 other corporations , as well as most of the world. Their actions were driven by corporations and " special interests " Similar too today.
"Size matters when you're fucking a chicken" worst/best fortune cookie message EVER. Honestly, this show just keeps getting better. So glad to already hear it got renewed for a season 2.
That ship is real. It ran aground in 1909, on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. Since then, the desert has encroached on the sea, leaving the wreck 1,000 ft from the shore.
Fun fact Filly is called that because it was built on an old landfill. Also in this alternate history microprocessor were never invented. Instead the US took a more nuclear powered approach, to the point even the cars were nuclear powered. The 1950s nuclear aesthetic, carried on until the year 2077 when the bombs dropped, this show takes place in the year 2296.
wrong One of the major divergences from our own history is that, in the Fallout world, the rapid miniaturization of digital computers and electronics never occurred. The transistor, invented in our world in 1947, was not developed in the Fallout universe until the decade just before the Great War (2067) tldr: Instead of the invention being in 1947, it was in 2067, however, other aspects of computer science developed just fine. Plus there are a lot of exceptional geniuses in the Fallout universe, capable of achieving tech way above the norm, such as Mr. House.
@@trans_emo_kitty_69 Sorry but that's wrong :) in Fallout 4, Jack Cabot has a terminal entry talking about transistors from 2023AD, and robots etc absolutely require miniaturized electronics...and ZAX the super computer was built in 2053 Also...transistor radios etc existed long before the war ;) But the war shortages and the mentality of the leadership could certainly alter how they were developed, spread etc, transistors were certainly developed LONG after they were in our time line (1947) that's for sure. As a note however, vacuum tubes are more resistant to EMP effects so were used for a long time in real life for certain military applications, and can be improved more than people think but still not enough to make a "microchip" like item
Lucy holding her gun up as she approaches the guy is, according to Todd Howard and Johnathan Nolan, is a nod to the players. We never, ever holster our weapons when we approach an NPC so we are basically like Lucy, walking up to some poor random guy all friendly with a gun pointed at him.
The helicopters are absolutely based on a real aircraft. The V-22 Osprey was first designed in the late 80's and entered service with the US military in 2007. Early versions had a lot of issues that had to be worked out over the years so it took quite a while from development to deployment. I think we've also sold some of them to several allied nations in recent years. It's primarily used as a transport.
@@davebcf1231helicopters generally are less safe than other aircraft. V-22’s issues are probably a bit overblown, but it’s like riding in a car while training your kid to drive. It’s not /that/ unsafe, but…
More importantly, the US army has adopted the Osprey's big brother the V-280 Valor as the replacement for the UH-60 Blackhawk, so the Army will be buying thousands of tilt rotors over the next 30 years.
That turret was a true turret from fallout. I have 10 of them lined up and a raider still runs right past them and attacks me with bullets hitting everything but him.
@@TrismegistusMx It is a yogi joke, but also Yao Gui doesn't have a direct translation but roughly means "hungry spirit" in Chinese. The lore is they were named by Chinese POWs.
The show has a lot of "In Game physics". The way the weapons make limbs (and entire people) explode, the turrets missing more often than not, how Stimpaks heal pretty much instantly and other things! Even the random NPCs you find in the world behave very much like the two "Random encounters" that Lucy and Maximus had in this episode. Lucy met an NPC that was basically just doing idle animations (hitting his waterfilter) and by giving him water he told her the directions along with some wacky flavortext about how people dies in Filly, not to mention the classic of an NPC never having been to a massive town just over the hill. Maximus has a Random Encounter where he had to choose if he should stop the fight and whom of them that he should help but based on next to no prior information. As Nerdy predicted, he let the guy go but it turned out to be a Chickenlover! Then it is up to the player to decide if it was a good idea to make the choice you did! Also, Fully is not Philly. Filly here is the Landfill(y).
Also, a bear being able to hurt somebody in full body armor and shrugging off hits from powered limbs able to huck a cinderblock hundreds of meters out to sea but then dying of gunfire that couldn't possibly compare to the power of those punches. Or the ghoul shrugging off bullets (maybe he's wearing armor but if so it's low-profile and I have my doubts it'd actually stop a rifle) but everybody he hits dies except of course the ones with a name, there's plenty of it to go around.
Love Clarus! "Size matters when f'n chickens" was great and she just laughed at the Ghoul's chest/head shot! Hysterical, I love it! Thanks for the reaction!
I wonder how many people caught just how good the Ghoul is. When Maximus is fighting the ghoul using the armor, he fires his pistol at the Ghoul twice, and right before the third shot, one of the ghoul's bullets hits the tip of Maximus' gun, turns it to Maximus' left, and then Max fires- blowing up something flammable over there instead.
It's a real aircraft design. It's called the Osprey. My uncle was actually on the team that designed the engines. The marine corps was using them when I was in, I'd assume they still do.
The brotherhood is a quasi religious military order dedicated to acquiring and hoarding technology from before the war. They change a lot during the games, and each chapter is different from each other, but they tend to care little about wastelanders and more about themselves.
the vertibird helicopter is basically just a chunky looking "Traverse-mounted Tiltrotor". and yes those things are real. check the most famous and wellknow one called OSPREY.
I got to see an Osprey about 6 years ago. I happened to work in a factory next to a very small airport, and the pilot was practicing touch and go landings at the strip. It was so loud we could hear the ceiling rattle, then went outside to see what was making the noise.
"There's simply no room inside a chicken for a penis" is a sentence I never thought I'd hear, let alone in a UA-cam video, but.... let me tell you how hard I awkwardly laughed at that 😅
Fallout Writers' Room: "Okay, we have to communicate to viewers that the Enclave is fucking evil, but we don't want to spend much time on it. Thoughts?"
There's a breakdown of the easter eggs in episode 1 I watched, when lucy signed the wedding dress the last date was 2294. there exchanges happen every 3 years, so that makes it 2297 lucy left the vault.
The Marines have used the V-22 Osprey for like 20 years now, and the Army's new helicopter is the V-280 Valor. Both of those are tilt-rotor designs like Fallout's Vertibirds.
On another channel, one of the hosts suggested that "Filly" was an abbreviation of landfill. The tomatoes made sense as tomato and watermelon seeds are all but indestructible and would thrive once given earth air and sun.
The moment she built that fire, my army-trained instincts were like "nooo, don't give your position away after dark like that" The Vertibird is not a real aircraft, but it is fairly similar to a real-world design, the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey. Rotors that act vertically for takeoff and landing, but swivel forward to fly like a fixed-wing aircraft. I don't think Maximus hurt his friend, I totally think it was one of those other assholes.
Also people keep talking (and I agree) three main characters represent three common ways to play the game: the Good one, the Neutral one, and the Bad(ass:) one. Seems pretty smart decision, actually. Also I find it funny, that while we all have trust issues with Maximus, the Ghoul, who is quite cruel is just as likeable as Lucy. It's obvious why, of course, but still interesting. Very good writing, Jonatan Nolan never fails to impress.
It's also a classic screenplay move to have each main character represent one of the possible POVs. In this case, you have (1) the Ghoul, who was alive in the world before the nukes and so has that firsthand knowledge of what the world used to be as well as how it changed; (2) Maximus, who grew up on the surface well after the wars and only knows the violence, fear, and cruelty of the post-war world; and (3) Lucy, who was raised in the safety, politeness, and propaganda of a vault and, until she left, had no experience or true understanding of the surface world beyond the naïve picture of it she learned about underground. In this way, you can have three different characters interact with the world and this story in ways that are different and specific to each individual's past, allowing the screenwriters to explore the main themes from multiple angles. It's really smartly written. Even more so because, unless you're into writing and taking apart the mechanics of a story, it's not calling a lot of attention to itself and just feels very natural.
Gotta remember that the bombs fell in 2077. There is a 50s aesthetic but its 118 years past then when the bombs drop. So technology like the space shuttle would exist
With these two hands, I built that bridge over yonder brick by brick. Do they call me John the Bridge Mason? No With the strength of my arms, I cut down the trees that make the beams of our church. Do they call me John the Wood Smith? No. But I fuck one chicken…
Fun fact, birds actually lay eggs out of their cloaca, which is the exit point for pee and poop too. And given the size and relative fragility of an egg (from certain directions of compression), they're probably pretty stretchy. A female kiwi can lose like 1/6th of it's body weight after laying an egg. I wouldn't want to test it out, though.
There are several of the fallout games that have a canine companion and they are all the same breed. I think the show is insinuating they were all bred and trained by the Enclave and that is why they make good companions. They are affectionately called Dogmeat usually. This one is branded as CX404, which could be a nod to “canine experiment not found”
Glad chat told yall the Lucy is Jinx from Arcane. I could totally hear it on the line 'She takes dads". Claroos called out my thought, weird flex by the Ghoul saying Maxiumus can't go upstairs when we just saw him fly into the scene
But that structure would clearly not support his weight if he tries to land on it. The real issue was in later episode. SPOILER WARNING! Only read if you saw the entire show: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SPOILER BELOW: . . . The ghoul since he wore power armor before the bombs fell knows it's weak point, and shoots multiple down easily in episode 8. Yet here he shoots the armor for 5 minutes with no result, not aiming at the weak point. Ok we can say he only shot few from frontal, but he was shown as someone with insane accuracy. Yet this serie is abolutely amazing, for me still 10/10.
@@MolnarG007While this is a show based on a video game, IRL “easily” doesn’t mean video game one-shot easily. Just because you know how to destroy a thing doesn’t mean it still doesn’t take time.
For easily digestible cliff notes on the world before the bombs, I recommend checking out the cinematic opening to Fallout 4 that shows before the character creation screen. It should be easily found on UA-cam. It obviously doesn't cover everything but covers enough imo.
Tonally this show reminds me a lot of The Boys. The world is absurd but played straight, the writing is dark and funny, the stakes are real enough to keep you invested. It's great.
Welcome to the world of Fallout, the wacky humor, the gory reality, the moral dilemmas etc etc, This show does a brilliant job of showing what the in game world is like and whet you have to do to survive in it. Here's a little historical Fallout lore that may help: The Fallout world is based in an alternate reality which diverged from ours around the 1950s because they didn't invent the transistor until the 2060s , they went through a nuclear age instead of an electronic age (hence the 60s look). Without computers and electronics to help control their use of resources they rapidly ran out in the 2020s and the world powers started fighting over what was left. The nuclear war at the start of the show occurred on October 23 2077, add 219 years and the show is occurring in 2296. All the currently released Fallout games occur before this time.
"The most humane product Vault-Tec ever made..." is such a lore bomb for people that has never played the game, that they will realize the size of... later.
CRAM Created Alternative to Meat. The teddy bear is an easterr egg from Fallout 4 Dogmeat. I'm rhinking Titus was trying to get his squire killed as part of his mission.
I love all the little call backs to the games. The inaccurate turrets and the casually holding a gun on someone while initiating a casual conversations.
I think Denzel’s youthful characters were more given to palpable, visceral rage. Maximus is every bit as naive as Lucy, just about different things. He doesn’t quite have fiery rage. Even Maximus’ primal moment when his friend was promoted would have been a lot different had it been young Denzel. I like Aaron Clifton Moten’s take on the character (wistful and angry and insecure) but he does not have Denzel’s sharp edge. Go back and look at some GLORY (1989) clips. Ain’t no way these two match up in intensity. At best, I’d call him Denzel Lite Cola.
@@AngeloBarovierSD True, I realize that it his acting feels like what older denzel does with a more restrained and stoic aproach, maybe its the slight sttuter specifically when he said "I.. I wanted it to happen is that wrong" in ep 1. Denzel lite sounds about right
The vertibird or the heliplane in the show is based on the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey which has the same shifting turbine design, which was created in 1989.
Her last name is actually McLean, not McClane. The show is just choosing to pronounce it incorrectly. However, John McLanes's daughter's name actually was Lucy.
The vertibirds (Brotherhood of Steel aircraft) are a unique design for Fallout, but are likely inspired by the Osprey. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey
Okey dokey. Lucy's naivete and HR management approach to everything is hysterical. The show-runners don't take themselves too seriously, the only thing they take seriously is the Fallout universe. It's why the series works.
It’s easy to miss but there’s a sign there that says to incinerate all puppies under 10 ounces. He lied about the dog’s weight that he kept and hid her
3:36 - that shipwreck and the sand-filled houses are real locations in Namibia, Africa. The houses are in an abandoned mining town. So much of this season is real locations and physical props, rather than CGI. Even the power suit is real.
The evolution in Lucy's character can be seen in her delivery of "Oki Doki" During her, uhm wedding night it's all bright-eyed and upbeat. When she leaves the vault it's already more apprehensive and during the headcutting it's more resolute with a hint of disgust. It pays to notice how she brings it from here on in. It's a wonderful piece of writing and acting.
Dude I am just now realizing that Dogmeat has a teddy to beat up on in the show! How did I overlook that? Then too it has been so long since I did a FO4 playthrough. It's cracking me up in game every time he pulls the teddy out of his inventory and shakes the crap out of it. Who's a Good Boy?! 🤣 1) That's Ben Linus from Lost. Fun fact if you at all remember Lost. 2) The Vertibird isn't terribly different a design from the real life V-22 Osprey, which uses the same tilting prop design but requires REALLY BIG PROPS and can only aim them forward when already in flight. 3) "EXCUSE ME!!" waving the gun at the guy. That was some truly funny sht. That's what I love about the show AND the games is that fun combo of jumpscare horror and comedy. The bizarreness is real and excellent. 🙂 4) "It's not that big of a penis..." Lol you guys are too funny. 🤣 5) Rewatching ep 1 with you guys made me think of something... Those raiders must have really been raging inside when Lucy's dad gave the rousing speech about saving America. All this time the Vaulties have been hiding underground, people have been living topside doing the best they can, and meanwhile the Vaulties are SO blind to all that struggle. No wonder they're so hated by the surface dwellers. 6) Just in general, the show is VERY faithful to the games, especially visually... at least FO4 which is all I am really familiar with. It really does feel like a live action Fallout game, and I've enjoyed telling friends "Wow the new Fallout game's graphics are fkin AMAZING!" with regard to the show, lol. 7) That conversation between Lucy and Ma June was SO good. The way Ma is fascinated and disgusted by Lucy at the same time was perfect. Lucy's a hermit crab without a shell and still trying to pitch the Vault's mission to save the world, to someone that's been topside all along, through all the mayhem. Really great scene.
32:00 These duys are very diffrent from the brotherhood we see in the games. There they are good guys, yeah stuck up good guys with a pole the size of alaska up their behind but good guys at any rate.
The thing with the turrets is a running joke in the game. I never played 1 and 2, but apparently their accuracy percentage is *horrible* there, but those are turn based games IIRC. Fallout 4 is real time, and likewise the turrets are just hilariously inaccurate there.
Literally when I saw maximus in the show I was like "holy shit marvel could replace jonathan majors with him", he looks ridiculously similar, very different voice though. But also I don't really see the nuance in Max's character. He didn't kill Titus, he let him die because Titus was like "You fucked up, it's your fault I got injured, the brotherhood's going to kill you" after titus sends him into danger completely unequipped, which shattered Maximus' illusions of knights being people whose duty is to "better this fallen world". The first people he comes across he doesn't immediately kill the aggressor, he's just like "let him go" and only afterwards realizes he was too hasty to judge. Then when he gets to filly he's trying to stop the ghoul so he can get his target, so he tells lucy "hey, get that guy inside safely so i can take care of the ghoul who is slaughtering people". Like does he have a temper? sure, he gets fucking pissed when Dane gets promoted and he doesn't, but there's no way he would mutilate his *only friend* in the brotherhood over a promotion, and he tells the leader that with a knight right behind him ready to kill him.
The Vertibirds function like the V-22 Ospreys of the US military. The engines and props rotate from horizontal to vertical for takeoff and then back to horizontal for travel.
Helicopter with rotary engines is a Convertiplane (common name). There are rotary wing (Tiltwing), rotary propeller (Tiltrotor) and many other modifications for vertical takeoff and horizontal fligh.
@@AngeloBarovierSD I meant that convertiplanes include several types of aircraft: Tiltrotor, Tiltwing and so on. "Convertiplane" is a common name for all of them. I don't know about you, but that's what we say.
@@Valentin_I Okay but who is “we”? Cuz I (sort of; by proxy) had a subscription to Rotor & Wing magazine in the 80’s and 90’s, Jane’s, etc., and have always been a (rotorwing-skewing) military aerospace enthusiast. “Convertiplane” was not part of my lexicon when the JVX program was in full swing (pun intended). Is that insider jargon? A specific industry term? Who used it as a “common” term? VTOL, tilt-rotor, tilt-wing … these are the terms MilAv press used more often, IIRC. Convertiplane sounds antiquated and outdated, to me.
@@AngeloBarovierSD "we" are russians. We have some experience in the development of convertiplanes since the 1930s. I do not own English terminology in full, and the translation from Russian may sound strange. So I apologize for the misunderstanding
@@Valentin_I No, no! Don’t apologize! It’s fascinating to learn how terminology is embraced differently in different times, regions, and social environments. That’s why I never said you were wrong, I just wanted to know what your frame of reference was. Mine was American media (even though I’m not American), and they preferred project titles (like JVX), proper noun designations (like Osprey), and simple terms (like tilt-rotor). Convertiplane sounds like something an engineer or inventor came up with, and definitely has a more European and Eastern ring to it. So, now it makes sense! Plus, you sent me on an interesting Google journey which reminded me of how old the concept really is.
Regarding people who are clean, I am reminded of a scene in The Name of the Rose where Christian Slater plays a young monk who is a sidekick to Connery’s older investigator and sleeps with a peasant girl who is central to the story. The look of pure “Oh, hell yeah!” when she pulls off his robe and sees his clean healthy body was kinda hilarious.
That specific helicopter is a fallout design called Vertibird and CGI but it is somewhat similar to a real aircraft used by the US Army the V-22 Osprey. So tilt rotor aircraft despite looking weird do exist.
Look up the V-22 Osprey. it's a rotor wing helicopter/plane designed to give you the short takeoff landing \ vertical lift of a helicopter (VTOL and STOL) while giving you the range and capabilities of an airplane. At first they killed a lot of pilots now they're doing much better. Used mainly by the marine corps and owned by the department of the Navy. I've seen a few take off and land in Iraq and although they're cool they're good at everything but not great at anything. I was in an Army Aviation unit and preferred our Chinook \ Blackhawk \ Apache Brigade over those mutants
The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey was probably the ispiration for the Helicopter thing, but the Fallout design wouldnt be able to fly with a 90° rotor position like an Osprey VTOL because it has no aerofoils or jet engines for lift.
I was surprised how "game-y" this series felt. But it has so many nods to the game it could have overwhelmed it and felt cartoonish but this has sat on the edge of that pin, perfectly.
Re the geometry of human copulation with domestic fowl: While I have no personal knowledge (thank God), a sailor I once served with had grown up on a farm and without provocation once regaled us with stories about young men’s adventures with livestock and according to him the chicken was a preferred animal of satisfaction for many.

That was actually lore accurate. Turrets are the stormtroopers of Fallout. They can't hit the broadsides of barns, without an upgrade.
That's why it has the, "please remain calm " sign! The only way it can hit anything is if it is standing still!!😂
It's a funny reference but I do think it's the one time in the show where directly referencing something from the games doesn't work for people without that knowledge. I think that gag only works if how abysmal they are at hitting anything is set up before hand, otherwise it just looks like a badly staged scene with a guy that has plot armor.

I think we've also sold some of them to several allied nations in recent years. It's primarily used as a transport.
Fun fact: Heads of state don't get into it because they crash too often.
@@xxklesx1 Crazy. I knew they had some issues with crashes, but I had no idea it was so bad they wouldn't let VIP's ride in them.
@@davebcf1231helicopters generally are less safe than other aircraft.
V-22’s issues are probably a bit overblown, but it’s like riding in a car while training your kid to drive.
It’s not /that/ unsafe, but…
I would rather hike naked up Mt Everest than ever get in another Osprey. Fun fact, while the rotors are tilting, you are basically in free fall.
More importantly, the US army has adopted the Osprey's big brother the V-280 Valor as the replacement for the UH-60 Blackhawk, so the Army will be buying thousands of tilt rotors over the next 30 years.
That turret was a true turret from fallout. I have 10 of them lined up and a raider still runs right past them and attacks me with bullets hitting everything but him.
Wow!
This is an incredibly accurate depiction of the turrets' incredible inaccuracy.
19:53 it's a gun that fires random junk. You saw it in episode 1 kill someone with a dolls arm, and later during the ghouls introduction.
They put a please remain calm sign on it because it was cheaper than a targeting system that could hurt moving targets (my headcanon)
Well it’s a Mark 1 which is known for being inaccurate, the Enclave are cheap 😂
It would work on me as I stand there confused.
@@Gideonite Well, to be fair, it's most probably an Enclave remnant. Cut them some slack!
Plus the scientist could have had the Moving Target Perk!
19:40 every Fallout player's reaction when some f'ing raider hurts Dogmeat.
13:25 That wasn't a normal bear, it was a mutant bear. Dangerous to even those with armor.
They’re called Yao Gui’s
@@thedeepfriar745 which is Fallout for "Yogi," a reference to Yogi Bear, a famous cartoon bear.
@@TrismegistusMx It is a yogi joke, but also Yao Gui doesn't have a direct translation but roughly means "hungry spirit" in Chinese. The lore is they were named by Chinese POWs.

He was a good person, he feed his Dogs well.
Well the dogs did solve the problem of Rmasay Bolton did they not?
His face when "aww he's a puppy" immediately followed by said puppy being incinerated was priceless
The show has a lot of "In Game physics".
The way the weapons make limbs (and entire people) explode, the turrets missing more often than not, how Stimpaks heal pretty much instantly and other things! Even the random NPCs you find in the world behave very much like the two "Random encounters" that Lucy and Maximus had in this episode. Lucy met an NPC that was basically just doing idle animations (hitting his waterfilter) and by giving him water he told her the directions along with some wacky flavortext about how people dies in Filly, not to mention the classic of an NPC never having been to a massive town just over the hill.
Maximus has a Random Encounter where he had to choose if he should stop the fight and whom of them that he should help but based on next to no prior information. As Nerdy predicted, he let the guy go but it turned out to be a Chickenlover! Then it is up to the player to decide if it was a good idea to make the choice you did!
Also, Fully is not Philly. Filly here is the Landfill(y).
The Ghoul has the "Bloody Mess" quirk / trait.
Also, a bear being able to hurt somebody in full body armor and shrugging off hits from powered limbs able to huck a cinderblock hundreds of meters out to sea but then dying of gunfire that couldn't possibly compare to the power of those punches. Or the ghoul shrugging off bullets (maybe he's wearing armor but if so it's low-profile and I have my doubts it'd actually stop a rifle) but everybody he hits dies except of course the ones with a name, there's plenty of it to go around.
Love Clarus! "Size matters when f'n chickens" was great and she just laughed at the Ghoul's chest/head shot! Hysterical, I love it! Thanks for the reaction!
The doctor coming out of nowhere to give Lucy life advice is some real fallout shit
I wonder how many people caught just how good the Ghoul is.
When Maximus is fighting the ghoul using the armor, he fires his pistol at the Ghoul twice, and right before the third shot, one of the ghoul's bullets hits the tip of Maximus' gun, turns it to Maximus' left, and then Max fires- blowing up something flammable over there instead.
Everyone knows how 'good' the ghoul is. He's very over the top perfect. Rather boring.
Which proves that he’s just “playing with his food”, so to speak. He knows a rook when he sees one and decided it was playtime
It's a real aircraft design. It's called the Osprey. My uncle was actually on the team that designed the engines. The marine corps was using them when I was in, I'd assume they still do.
tiltwings have been around longer than the Osprey which is in fact a tiltroter .
The brotherhood is a quasi religious military order dedicated to acquiring and hoarding technology from before the war. They change a lot during the games, and each chapter is different from each other, but they tend to care little about wastelanders and more about themselves.
the vertibird helicopter is basically just a chunky looking "Traverse-mounted Tiltrotor". and yes those things are real. check the most famous and wellknow one called OSPREY.
God I love the Osprey
I got to see an Osprey about 6 years ago. I happened to work in a factory next to a very small airport, and the pilot was practicing touch and go landings at the strip. It was so loud we could hear the ceiling rattle, then went outside to see what was making the noise.
@@anon_234Got to see one too in LPIA during the recovery days after Hurricane Dorian.
VTOL aircraft!
Look at the Bell 280 Valor, the Osprey replacement, even more on point! :D
"There's simply no room inside a chicken for a penis" is a sentence I never thought I'd hear, let alone in a UA-cam video, but.... let me tell you how hard I awkwardly laughed at that 😅
Fallout Writers' Room:
"Okay, we have to communicate to viewers that the Enclave is fucking evil, but we don't want to spend much time on it. Thoughts?"
And we get the nod for the fallout vets with the hand slipping out from the white sheet.
Well how evil are they? They’d murder puppies.
@@mackyronni newborn puppies for not meet a certain weight minimum
It’s wasn’t the 1950’s when the bombs drop alternative history it was 2077 and Lucy left vault 33 in 2296
This world kept the style of the 50s long after ours would have.
There's a breakdown of the easter eggs in episode 1 I watched, when lucy signed the wedding dress the last date was 2294. there exchanges happen every 3 years, so that makes it 2297 lucy left the vault.
Yup!
The Marines have used the V-22 Osprey for like 20 years now, and the Army's new helicopter is the V-280 Valor. Both of those are tilt-rotor designs like Fallout's Vertibirds.
vertibirds are tiltwing not tiltrotor
On another channel, one of the hosts suggested that "Filly" was an abbreviation of landfill. The tomatoes made sense as tomato and watermelon seeds are all but indestructible and would thrive once given earth air and sun.
"All ten fingers".
Damn....
The Ghoul is obviously using VATS and has both the Bloody Mess and Better Criticals perks
Yeah, and Gun Slinger + Penetrator
A lot of ppl forget knights are kinda dumb, like all of them. PALADINS are the actual badasses
Verti-Bird is base on the US Marine Corps Osprey.
one detail. The Ghoul is still wearing the cowboy shirt he was wearing at the kid's party in the first episode
The moment she built that fire, my army-trained instincts were like "nooo, don't give your position away after dark like that"
The Vertibird is not a real aircraft, but it is fairly similar to a real-world design, the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey. Rotors that act vertically for takeoff and landing, but swivel forward to fly like a fixed-wing aircraft.
I don't think Maximus hurt his friend, I totally think it was one of those other assholes.
Also people keep talking (and I agree) three main characters represent three common ways to play the game: the Good one, the Neutral one, and the Bad(ass:) one. Seems pretty smart decision, actually. Also I find it funny, that while we all have trust issues with Maximus, the Ghoul, who is quite cruel is just as likeable as Lucy. It's obvious why, of course, but still interesting. Very good writing, Jonatan Nolan never fails to impress.
It's also a classic screenplay move to have each main character represent one of the possible POVs. In this case, you have (1) the Ghoul, who was alive in the world before the nukes and so has that firsthand knowledge of what the world used to be as well as how it changed; (2) Maximus, who grew up on the surface well after the wars and only knows the violence, fear, and cruelty of the post-war world; and (3) Lucy, who was raised in the safety, politeness, and propaganda of a vault and, until she left, had no experience or true understanding of the surface world beyond the naïve picture of it she learned about underground. In this way, you can have three different characters interact with the world and this story in ways that are different and specific to each individual's past, allowing the screenwriters to explore the main themes from multiple angles. It's really smartly written. Even more so because, unless you're into writing and taking apart the mechanics of a story, it's not calling a lot of attention to itself and just feels very natural.
Gotta remember that the bombs fell in 2077. There is a 50s aesthetic but its 118 years past then when the bombs drop. So technology like the space shuttle would exist
Indeed!
With these two hands, I built that bridge over yonder brick by brick.
Do they call me John the Bridge Mason? No

But I fuck one chicken…
Is this a German joke? I've heard it in German... But it was a pig instead of a chicken
The Ghoul must have the "Bloody Mess" perk. It's glorious!
Fun fact, birds actually lay eggs out of their cloaca, which is the exit point for pee and poop too. And given the size and relative fragility of an egg (from certain directions of compression), they're probably pretty stretchy. A female kiwi can lose like 1/6th of it's body weight after laying an egg.
I wouldn't want to test it out, though.
There are several of the fallout games that have a canine companion and they are all the same breed. I think the show is insinuating they were all bred and trained by the Enclave and that is why they make good companions. They are affectionately called Dogmeat usually. This one is branded as CX404, which could be a nod to “canine experiment not found”
The show helicopter is a real design, though the proportions of it look a bit undersized to work.
Glad chat told yall the Lucy is Jinx from Arcane. I could totally hear it on the line 'She takes dads". Claroos called out my thought, weird flex by the Ghoul saying Maxiumus can't go upstairs when we just saw him fly into the scene
But can the stairs - and the platform above - take the weight of the power armour?
But that structure would clearly not support his weight if he tries to land on it.
The real issue was in later episode.

The ghoul since he wore power armor before the bombs fell knows it's weak point, and shoots multiple down easily in episode 8. Yet here he shoots the armor for 5 minutes with no result, not aiming at the weak point. Ok we can say he only shot few from frontal, but he was shown as someone with insane accuracy.
Yet this serie is abolutely amazing, for me still 10/10.
@@MolnarG007While this is a show based on a video game, IRL “easily” doesn’t mean video game one-shot easily. Just because you know how to destroy a thing doesn’t mean it still doesn’t take time.
He was saying that the suit was too heavy for single wood planks, I think
Clarus' face expressions in this episode are an action movie of its own ^_^
For easily digestible cliff notes on the world before the bombs, I recommend checking out the cinematic opening to Fallout 4 that shows before the character creation screen. It should be easily found on UA-cam. It obviously doesn't cover everything but covers enough imo.
The Atlantic Ocean off Namibia acting as the Pacific Ocean at Santa Monica . . . I believe.
Yup!
Tonally this show reminds me a lot of The Boys. The world is absurd but played straight, the writing is dark and funny, the stakes are real enough to keep you invested. It's great.
Welcome to the world of Fallout, the wacky humor, the gory reality, the moral dilemmas etc etc, This show does a brilliant job of showing what the in game world is like and whet you have to do to survive in it.
Here's a little historical Fallout lore that may help:
The Fallout world is based in an alternate reality which diverged from ours around the 1950s because they didn't invent the transistor until the 2060s , they went through a nuclear age instead of an electronic age (hence the 60s look). Without computers and electronics to help control their use of resources they rapidly ran out in the 2020s and the world powers started fighting over what was left. The nuclear war at the start of the show occurred on October 23 2077, add 219 years and the show is occurring in 2296. All the currently released Fallout games occur before this time.
"The most humane product Vault-Tec ever made..." is such a lore bomb for people that has never played the game, that they will realize the size of... later.
CRAM Created Alternative to Meat. The teddy bear is an easterr egg from Fallout 4 Dogmeat. I'm rhinking Titus was trying to get his squire killed as part of his mission.
I love all the little call backs to the games. The inaccurate turrets and the casually holding a gun on someone while initiating a casual conversations.
I just realized Maximus actor acts and looks very similarly to a young Denzel Washington
I thought he looks more like Jonathon Majors. They sound different though.
I think Denzel’s youthful characters were more given to palpable, visceral rage. Maximus is every bit as naive as Lucy, just about different things. He doesn’t quite have fiery rage.
Even Maximus’ primal moment when his friend was promoted would have been a lot different had it been young Denzel. I like Aaron Clifton Moten’s take on the character (wistful and angry and insecure) but he does not have Denzel’s sharp edge.
Go back and look at some GLORY (1989) clips. Ain’t no way these two match up in intensity.
At best, I’d call him Denzel Lite Cola.
@@AngeloBarovierSD True, I realize that it his acting feels like what older denzel does with a more restrained and stoic aproach, maybe its the slight sttuter specifically when he said "I.. I wanted it to happen is that wrong" in ep 1. Denzel lite sounds about right
Not only is Ella the voice of Jinx in Arcane, but she can't seem to get away from staplers as we saw in ep 1 ;)
Ella Purnell is also awesome in Yellowjackets.
Harold and Bear reunited at last. Gotta love it
The vertibird or the heliplane in the show is based on the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey which has the same shifting turbine design, which was created in 1989.
Her last name is actually McLean, not McClane. The show is just choosing to pronounce it incorrectly. However, John McLanes's daughter's name actually was Lucy.
"Ohh, it's a puppy"
~one second later~
*disgusted face*
They announced Season 2 today
Yei!
The vertibirds (Brotherhood of Steel aircraft) are a unique design for Fallout, but are likely inspired by the Osprey.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey
And other VTOL vehicles.
Okey dokey.
Lucy's naivete and HR management approach to everything is hysterical.
The show-runners don't take themselves too seriously, the only thing they take seriously is the Fallout universe. It's why the series works.
A lot of the areas for episode 1 and 2 were filmed on the Skeleton Coast in Namibia
In diehard his daughters name was lucy btw. Been thinking the same thing.
It’s easy to miss but there’s a sign there that says to incinerate all puppies under 10 ounces. He lied about the dog’s weight that he kept and hid her
please tell me others picked up the Justified reference in this episode, when Lucy was delivering her little monologue to the Ghoul?
I love seeing CX404 with her little teddy bear.
3:36 - that shipwreck and the sand-filled houses are real locations in Namibia, Africa. The houses are in an abandoned mining town. So much of this season is real locations and physical props, rather than CGI. Even the power suit is real.
The evolution in Lucy's character can be seen in her delivery of "Oki Doki" During her, uhm wedding night it's all bright-eyed and upbeat. When she leaves the vault it's already more apprehensive and during the headcutting it's more resolute with a hint of disgust. It pays to notice how she brings it from here on in. It's a wonderful piece of writing and acting.
the "she steals dads" line sounded very much like jinx. or to be more accurate, both lucy and jinx sound like ella. 😄
After seeing the entire season, I think they should give the Maximus actor a shot at the Kang role if it's not too late.
Kang is an easy role to recast!
Close your eyes and listen to Elle and you can hear Jinx sometimes.
14:00 there was that guy in Italy in the 90s who was crushed by falling rocks whilst enjoying "quality time" with a chicken
6:34 wait till bro discovers prop planes 😭
Dude I am just now realizing that Dogmeat has a teddy to beat up on in the show! How did I overlook that? Then too it has been so long since I did a FO4 playthrough. It's cracking me up in game every time he pulls the teddy out of his inventory and shakes the crap out of it. Who's a Good Boy?! 🤣
1) That's Ben Linus from Lost. Fun fact if you at all remember Lost.
2) The Vertibird isn't terribly different a design from the real life V-22 Osprey, which uses the same tilting prop design but requires REALLY BIG PROPS and can only aim them forward when already in flight.
3) "EXCUSE ME!!" waving the gun at the guy. That was some truly funny sht. That's what I love about the show AND the games is that fun combo of jumpscare horror and comedy. The bizarreness is real and excellent. 🙂
4) "It's not that big of a penis..." Lol you guys are too funny. 🤣
5) Rewatching ep 1 with you guys made me think of something... Those raiders must have really been raging inside when Lucy's dad gave the rousing speech about saving America. All this time the Vaulties have been hiding underground, people have been living topside doing the best they can, and meanwhile the Vaulties are SO blind to all that struggle. No wonder they're so hated by the surface dwellers.
6) Just in general, the show is VERY faithful to the games, especially visually... at least FO4 which is all I am really familiar with. It really does feel like a live action Fallout game, and I've enjoyed telling friends "Wow the new Fallout game's graphics are fkin AMAZING!" with regard to the show, lol.
7) That conversation between Lucy and Ma June was SO good. The way Ma is fascinated and disgusted by Lucy at the same time was perfect. Lucy's a hermit crab without a shell and still trying to pitch the Vault's mission to save the world, to someone that's been topside all along, through all the mayhem. Really great scene.
Also, base version turrets in Fallout 4 are known for being worthless bc they never hit their target lol. Another easter egg.
32:00 These duys are very diffrent from the brotherhood we see in the games. There they are good guys, yeah stuck up good guys with a pole the size of alaska up their behind but good guys at any rate.
The thing with the turrets is a running joke in the game. I never played 1 and 2, but apparently their accuracy percentage is *horrible* there, but those are turn based games IIRC. Fallout 4 is real time, and likewise the turrets are just hilariously inaccurate there.
Literally when I saw maximus in the show I was like "holy shit marvel could replace jonathan majors with him", he looks ridiculously similar, very different voice though.
But also I don't really see the nuance in Max's character. He didn't kill Titus, he let him die because Titus was like "You fucked up, it's your fault I got injured, the brotherhood's going to kill you" after titus sends him into danger completely unequipped, which shattered Maximus' illusions of knights being people whose duty is to "better this fallen world". The first people he comes across he doesn't immediately kill the aggressor, he's just like "let him go" and only afterwards realizes he was too hasty to judge. Then when he gets to filly he's trying to stop the ghoul so he can get his target, so he tells lucy "hey, get that guy inside safely so i can take care of the ghoul who is slaughtering people". Like does he have a temper? sure, he gets fucking pissed when Dane gets promoted and he doesn't, but there's no way he would mutilate his *only friend* in the brotherhood over a promotion, and he tells the leader that with a knight right behind him ready to kill him.
The Vertibirds function like the V-22 Ospreys of the US military. The engines and props rotate from horizontal to vertical for takeoff and then back to horizontal for travel.
Helicopter with rotary engines is a Convertiplane (common name). There are rotary wing (Tiltwing), rotary propeller (Tiltrotor) and many other modifications for vertical takeoff and horizontal fligh.
Erm, fixed wing, rotor wing, and hybrid. What is the “common” convertiplane you speak of?
@@AngeloBarovierSD I meant that convertiplanes include several types of aircraft: Tiltrotor, Tiltwing and so on. "Convertiplane" is a common name for all of them. I don't know about you, but that's what we say.
@@Valentin_I Okay but who is “we”? Cuz I (sort of; by proxy) had a subscription to Rotor & Wing magazine in the 80’s and 90’s, Jane’s, etc., and have always been a (rotorwing-skewing) military aerospace enthusiast.
“Convertiplane” was not part of my lexicon when the JVX program was in full swing (pun intended). Is that insider jargon? A specific industry term? Who used it as a “common” term? VTOL, tilt-rotor, tilt-wing … these are the terms MilAv press used more often, IIRC.
Convertiplane sounds antiquated and outdated, to me.
@@AngeloBarovierSD "we" are russians. We have some experience in the development of convertiplanes since the 1930s. I do not own English terminology in full, and the translation from Russian may sound strange. So I apologize for the misunderstanding
@@Valentin_I No, no! Don’t apologize! It’s fascinating to learn how terminology is embraced differently in different times, regions, and social environments. That’s why I never said you were wrong, I just wanted to know what your frame of reference was.
Mine was American media (even though I’m not American), and they preferred project titles (like JVX), proper noun designations (like Osprey), and simple terms (like tilt-rotor).
Convertiplane sounds like something an engineer or inventor came up with, and definitely has a more European and Eastern ring to it. So, now it makes sense!
Plus, you sent me on an interesting Google journey which reminded me of how old the concept really is.
The slow dissolution of "Okie-Dokie"...

18:30 "Those are some special bullets." Also lore accurate. The Goul must have the "Bloody Mess" perk.
Also, was not expecting the Sweeney Todd reference. Bravo.
Nice reaction, great show.:). About flying tough ... The Bernoulli equation. We do know how we fly, its physics.
4:35 That’s 100% What the pitch sounded like😅
For the 'helicopter', google "Osprey". It's a VTOL craft used by the US military.
Regarding people who are clean, I am reminded of a scene in The Name of the Rose where Christian Slater plays a young monk who is a sidekick to Connery’s older investigator and sleeps with a peasant girl who is central to the story.
The look of pure “Oh, hell yeah!” when she pulls off his robe and sees his clean healthy body was kinda hilarious.
That specific helicopter is a fallout design called Vertibird and CGI but it is somewhat similar to a real aircraft used by the US Army the V-22 Osprey. So tilt rotor aircraft despite looking weird do exist.
'How can you jubilate sitting in cages, never taking wingggggggg' I was with you!! hahahaha
Nerdy: "You can't fuck a chicken!" Clarus: "Its got holes, ain't it?"
John McClane's daughter from Die Hard was named Lucy BTW
Look up the V-22 Osprey. it's a rotor wing helicopter/plane designed to give you the short takeoff landing \ vertical lift of a helicopter (VTOL and STOL) while giving you the range and capabilities of an airplane. At first they killed a lot of pilots now they're doing much better. Used mainly by the marine corps and owned by the department of the Navy. I've seen a few take off and land in Iraq and although they're cool they're good at everything but not great at anything. I was in an Army Aviation unit and preferred our Chinook \ Blackhawk \ Apache Brigade over those mutants
The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey was probably the ispiration for the Helicopter thing, but the Fallout design wouldnt be able to fly with a 90° rotor position like an Osprey VTOL because it has no aerofoils or jet engines for lift.
I was surprised how "game-y" this series felt. But it has so many nods to the game it could have overwhelmed it and felt cartoonish but this has sat on the edge of that pin, perfectly.
Re the geometry of human copulation with domestic fowl: While I have no personal knowledge (thank God), a sailor I once served with had grown up on a farm and without provocation once regaled us with stories about young men’s adventures with livestock and according to him the chicken was a preferred animal of satisfaction for many.
