Fallout - It's A Blast

I didn't have high hopes for this one, but I must admit, Amazon surprised me with Fallout - a pretty decent adaptation of the best selling game series.

It's a shame Drinker didn't mention Norm. As a character, Norm was a pleasant surprise. He is obviously small in stature, and appears cowardly on the surface, but Norm was seeing things clearly, and wasn't brainwashed like the other Vault dwellers.

He's played excellently by Moisés Arias, who I didn't really know as an actor before. I'm hoping to see even bigger and better things from him in season 2.

I like how Lucy is a Bethesda Fallout protagonist while the Ghoul is playing New Vegas

[mikeoath]

Ella Purnell is good actor but Walton Goggins really is killing it out there. He's basically only played in good shows and movies for a while now, his acting has become something truly special.

The most unrealistic part of this show was Lucy not immediately filling her backpack with 450lb of random debris from the first bombed out house she went in. Then she should have said “ oh, I am over encumbered and cannot run!”

The stimpack plot armour has to be my favourite lore accurate technique to do anything on screen

[DrFeelgood]

Why did the brotherhood of steel promote the 3 weakest nerdiest unmilitaristic people I’ve ever seen.

[davidkymdell]

Dude, Ella Purnell has the biggest eyes I've ever seen on a human

[michaelcopple]

Walton Goggins as The Ghoul was a great casting move.

[GoBudsGo]

Walton Goggins was absolutely incredible. Best actor I've witnessed since Gary Oldman.

I liked how the gulper vomited a bunch of random junk when killed. Really true to the games where looting monster corpses always gave you a bunch of stuff that made you think about the monster's dietary habits.

Street Fighter had the best villain speech ever.
"For you the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life, but for me it was Tuesday."

[Leahey]

Pretty sure the massive equipment bags that the Brotherhood squires lug around with them are a nod to all the times we got over encumbered carrying junk in the games 🤣

[Unbreakable]

There are forests in Fallout they just tend to be rare and/or super dangerous and odd.

[veng]

I was convinced she just walked out a vault ….her reaction to the world was stunning

[Anchor-Supreme]

Fun fact: this is the third product in the Fallout IP to have a story revolving finding a parent or child.

Fallout 3: Go find your dad.
Fallout 4: Go find your son.
Fallout TV: Go find your dad.

If we keep this up Fallout 6 will have us going to find our daughter, father, grandmother, and maybe even cousin Eddie.

Did anyone else notice that side character encounters were shot just like video game cut scenes? Often rambling monologs as you walk away, etc. Brilliant!

[iagainstiification]

Oh, there’s definitely a little bit of “the message” in there.

[thrrax]

Sigh... The fact that we come to conclusions like "I liked it a lot more than I expected" or "It's better than it had any right to be" says a lot about the condition of movies in the last 15 years.

[mwhitaker]

The bulk of survivors do NOT live in the vaults. They are a weird minority in an already existing civilisation. He kinda missed the point here...
