The shopkeepers “Fuck vault dwellers” speech has my hopes up that this show won’t be lib trash, but I dislike that the main girl is really Libby about Vault-Tec “Um actually you’re technically stealing Vault-Tec property which is wrong” also lol at her still having perfect eyeliner after being in the wasteland for days.
And not liking how one of the “good guys” is a Brotherhood of Steel type, I really hope they don’t make the Brotherhood a “good” faction because they kinda aren’t.
I’m assuming it’s a character arc thing and things become less lib later, here’s hoping. Because this show is freaking awesome in every other aspect. They really nailed the tone and setting. The sets and props are so cool as well.
I’m assuming The Ghoul isn’t as mean as he first appears because he didn’t hurt that chicken, and he fixed up the dog.
sigh I miss @UlyssesT@hexbear.net, he would have had so much to say about this show.
I was really happy with how the show turned out and the direction it took. I felt it really delivered, so don’t be too worried. I had some similar concerns especially regarding the Brotherhood of Steel before watching, but the show gets that they’re not good guys.
I thought theyvreally nailed it as an adaptation of the setting. My favorite thing about Fallout is that its not speculative fiction. Its not about a possible future, its about what people in the height of the Atomic Age thought the future would be. There’s this massive contridiction in that period where on the one hand you have the height of Americana - that trademark psychotic optimism - and on the other hand the fear of nuclear annihilation. Fallout explores that contridiction - or rather resolves it by recognizing that the US is fascist. The show, i felt, got that and delievered.
