Fallout TV Series (Premieres April 11)

[ObsoleteSoul]

Just finished it up, and besides episode 5 or 6, which was a bit slow and exposition heavy, i immensely enjoyed the entire season. So damn surprised that I might not be so cynical on their next show on Amazon. Or with the same writers or what have you.
9/10

I'm not done yet, but for a video game adaptation, this is exceptional so far.

Please remember to use spoiler tags for the first week. Thank you.

Great news. I played one fallout game like 10 years ago so I don’t know much but I’m glad to hear everyone likes it. Hopefully on the level of the last of us

 

[Quadtavius Tuck]

Watched it and it was firmly Okay, a 6/10

Not very funny but well made and cool looking

Felt like Reference Olympics here and there

Fallout 4 literally saved my life. And it is a shame too because it gets like no views. I am honestly just going to start playing it until my channel dies and I have to find another job

Wow. It gets no views? I don't understand but cool. I wish I was still doing cool stuff.

 

[Spounman]

Through 2 episodes and they were both great. I'm impressed by the details and effects.

Cain's take.

Good to know the creator of fallout loved the show!

 

[Tabarnakos]

Through 2 episodes and they were both great. I'm impressed by the details and effects.

The ambient music is great too. I don't mean the 1950's songs that play like 5 times each episode (this does have it's charm but they did it a bit too much imho) but the actual background soundtrack. They also incorporated some of the games tracks into the show which was a nice little touch

man this girl has enormous eyes.

She has frog eyes

 

[Schoolboy Q]

She has frog eyes

She comes from like 200+ years of folks living in that vault, bound to be some inbreeding.

[Zookeeper Gabe]

Fuck yes, not just the Walt Goggins from Justified but Mykelti Williamson!
Ellstin Limehouse was phenomenal

 

[Bob Gray]

Well, goddamn. My brother and I binged watched the entire thing. I absolutely loved it.

The thing, I've been an avid Fallout Boy since literally the initial preview for the original game in PCGamer. The whole concept resonated with me and I had the original game literally on day one.

The point is, I'm immensely biased. As much as I dug it, and thought it was a painstakingly accurate adaptation, I really wonder how it resonates with people completely unfamiliar with the game.

The callbacks and Easter eggs are absolutely insane. The lore/aesthetics are literally unchanged from the games. The effort to be faithful was immense.

Jinx is actually really cute. I didn't know the actress but the voice got me right away and realized she was Jinx from Arcane. She's like a young Zoey Deschanel.

Finished season

Alright very good 8/10, final episodes 9 out of 10

Exceeded my expectations by far

Like i said earlier quality of video game adaptations have gone up a lot, if they keep this up i might actually look forward to video game adaptations when they announce them

Less music in next season please, it fits "lone wolf walking in wasteland" scenes but it takes away from scenes that should be dramatic

Holy shit i just realized i started this thread years back

 

[TheChance]

Fuck yes, not just the Walt Goggins from Justified but Mykelti Williamson!
Ellstin Limehouse was phenomenal

Micheal Rappaport and Dale Dickey were also in Justified.

Micheal Rappaport and Dale Dickey were also in Justified.

We don’t speak of Michael Rappaport being on justified, his attempt at a Floridian accent is akin to a war crime.

 

[HenryFlower]

it held my interest but i don’t get the references or implications. will def watch s2

I'm clearly a FO mark. I'm it's target audience. I think it's great so far. I've been watching it with my lady who doesn't game and she thinks it's really good. It's appeasing two different audiences which isn't easy to do considering the IP.
