The more I look at how they handled Maximus, the more I think he's actually handled pretty well. Him being only interested in the BoS for the power armor is relatable to a lot of us who also had those initial feelings of wanting to join to just don the suit. Maybe like us, once Maximus gets the power armor, he becomes more interested in what it represents. I can see them exploring it more in S2.

I think actually Maximus makes a lot of sense. He fell in love with the power armor as a kid, he has a childish need to wear the power armor. He didn't slowly grow into an ideology of brotherhood. That scene where he sees the shiny power armor as he exits the little fridge/dresser (whatever it is) with his full childhood innocence of not being able to process what the hell just happened and seeing that dude in power armor with sun rising in the background made him the person he is. He basically saw an angel and wanted to become one in his mind, and power armor IS the thing he fell in love with. He doesn't care who wears it. Even him leaving the power armor behind carelessly AFTER he fell in love with a girl makes a lot of sense. He finally found someone/something that he loves more than the armor itself.

It’s also shown how immoral and corrupt the BoS has become and he has his own “code” about what it means to be a knight. He’s not there only for the armor, he has a vision for what the Brotherhood is supposed to be. The armor gives him the means to enact that vision.

The earlier seasons were covering weeks of real time across 10 episodes. The last couple seasons, 8 is especially bad in this regard, covered what would have been multiple seasons worth of time in between episodes. Characters are basically teleporting around Westeros. It's jarring. The poor characterization in the later seasons indicates D&D were bored and wanting to move on. They didn't have as much material to riff on, so they skipped the focus on characters and focused on spectacle. It went from a dialogue heavy political thriller in seasons 1-5 to a mediocre action fantasy movie in seasons 6-8.

I personally don't really understand his hate as well. He acts in a way that makes sense in his character. He is someone who has always been beneath the boot of someone else, and someone who would think they are right to be they way they behave. Both of the people that he threats like shit, are people who threatened him and bullied him beforehand. They gave him plenty of reason if you ask me. Maximus to me, is someone who is in the Brotherhood because he feels he owes something to them. The brotherhood gave him a home, food, and a place to belong in. I feel like he genuinely does believe (or at least used to believe) in their cause. Him meeting Lucy is a bit of culture shock to him as he meets someone who is not from his world. And then he finds himself in her home and he at first finds it hard to adjust and believe but he starts to settle because Lucy HERSELF asked him to calm down and to give it a chance. I think I need to look up why people think he is very selfish ngl.

I fully agree. I think that people would not have reached the positive verdict as quickly which would have decreased word of mouth about the show. The fact that people are even complaining about it not being a weekly thing is merely a symptom of the fact that they actually made the right call. I can 100% see a reality where ,as critical as fallout fans are, people were giving very mixed reviews and the episodes with more controversial stuff like shady sands would've probably sparked a lot of negativety without people being able to finish the show that same day if they wanted to.

5:45 Personally I saw the good as Lucy, the bad as Maximus, and the ugly as The Ghoul since they are our three protagonists. Lucy is the good because of just her trusting and hopeful nature with people and how she wants to help others. Maximus WAS the bad because of his own clouded ambitions and reasons. He only joins the brotherhood for revenge and power, he let his knight die, he was going to kill Thadeus, and he wanted or was ok with the idea of Dane getting maimed for getting picked over him. And the ugly is The Ghoul. And not just in terms of looks, but from the fall of who he once was as a person. He is an example of how twisted or grotesque a person like Lucy could become. But by the end the three impacted each other in one way or another. The good (lucy) impacted the bad (maximus) and pushed him more towards being good, and the ugly (the ghoul) impacted the good (lucy) and made her experience and adapt to the ugly.

I agree with your initial take but I think Maximus is going to go even further into the Bad part of this trio in Season 2. I won't be surprised if he turns into the main antagonist of Season 2.

I wrote about it a little bit in my comment. Copying it for you below in case you are interested. I would have no problems if Todd never canonized this show himself. He said this show is canon and part of the same universe. What's the point of playing these story-driven Fallout games if some random tv show can sh1t all over the canon however they want. As far as I'm concerned, NV isn't canon anymore until Jonathon or Todd comes clean and admit the lore mistakes in the show. Btw there are at least 5 critical mistakes. Shady Sands can't be a crater and completely annihilated in 2277, we have multiple characters mentioning about it in the NV. Shady Sands is in the wrong place in the show, it should be hundreds of miles north-west. Shady Sands isn't in LA. They should have nuked Boneyard if they really wanted that crater in the show. They ruined BoS, they are nothing like how they are shown in the show. No branding squires, no clerics, no religious bullshit. They are so stuck in that codex of theirs, even some Elders know that they will lose and die in the end but still sticks to it. Their change in the show is bs. Sinclair isn't owner or CEO of Big MT, he is a costumer and Big MT literally experiments on his casino. The show ruins Robert House, he would never be in bed with Vault Tec and their bonkers plan of destroying the world. He is for progress and space exploration ffs. In the show he sees business opportunities in the nuclear apocalypse. I can go forever. These can all be no problem if Todd comes clean and declares the show an alternate universe and not canon.

As a veteran of 1,000s of hours in the Fallout world, I agree with you. This show was made by a lot of fans of the game, probably even players of the game, and it shows from beginning to end. The good, bad, and ugly reference was a grand catch. It was hard to miss, it was utilized so well. From the moment the first stimpack is used to the end I was constantly catching deja-vu moments. The 3 leads were great, but most of all was the great story telling that encapsulated all the Fall Out worlds and ended with that amazing look at Season 2 destination, New Vegas. Greatly looking forward to more.....War never changes.

I enjoyed Maximus' character very much. I like that there's this uninteresting, regular grunt that's not very intelligent or smart. It's this very flat character that gives other more charismatic characters a stage to perform and shine over. It's just a kid who likes pew pew and the dominance a power armor gives him. Kid is just trying to live his dream and not think too much about anything else. You cannot really hate him and it's hard to love him. His character is a great vehicle to push narrative, get away with things in the show. A simple man that gives the audience easy way to see the contrast between all main characters. It's a really clever way to basically build anything on his very flat, emotional and neutral stance. It's a great addition to the show and I bet we'll be in a long haul with him in the upcoming season/s.

One thing most people never mention is that the easter eggs are not just about showing a bobblehead or a sunset sarsparilla poster. Lucy is using a Fallout 4 10 mm pistol and has no issue using it, the BOS squire becoming ghoul is using a Fallout 3 10mm and complains that you can't aim with that thing because there was no ironsight aiming in FO3 . this had me cracking up. Lucy's introduction is basically her Special stats and her 3 tagged skills, which she uses primarily during the show. I didn't care about the dates on a board for the nuking of shady sands, so many things could have happened and it doesn't say that it was nuked in 2277 but that it fell.

Maximus is definitely a coward at certain points but I don’t think he’s selfish. Like when he lets Lord Titus die to his wounds, that wasn’t him being selfish. It was him standing up for himself against an arrogant prick who chose to put Maximus’s life below his despite him wearing power armour. Not only that but we also see him try to save others on a few occasions such as when he saves that salesmen from the farmer (not knowing he was a pig fucker) and when he saves Thaddeus, one of the members of the BOS that bullied him, from that water creature. If anything, I think the Ghoul is wayyy more selfish than Maximus is, considering he sold Lucy to that hospital for a few vials.

I agree with about 99% of what was said here, and I really appreciate the perspective given. I have watched a bunch of breakdowns and discussions about the show and this is probably one of my favorites. The things I don't agree with though are the binging model vs weekly, mainly because I'm a consumer and not a content creator. I hate waiting a week to just inch forward on a story in a series, and I would rather be able to binge and rewatch with the gift of knowing how certain things turn out. It also gives me the chance to spend the following days and weeks watching everyone's POV on their take of the show as well. Weekly drops leads to people speculating and either trying not to spoil what might come up later, or just straight up spoiling future episodes because they are extremely knowledgeable about the source materials that the story lines are being pulled from. Also, there are videos out there explaining how this doesn't break the lore of New Vegas. Fallout 4 and New Vegas were never given canon endings, and this show could be filling in the gaps in future episodes/seasons. There's even hints towards what Fallout 5 might give us as far as possible protagonist or locations we could be exploring.

If the adaption is good enough, maybe doesn't matter, but when they aren't, now you have your experience kinda tainted.

I mean fans were unhappy about a lot of changes in lord of the rings and its one of the best movie trilogy in existance, you will never make a perfect adaptation and some fans will always be unhappy since there is often one or few things we really loved and its not there in the adaptation its natural but the thing we havet ot judge adaptation if is the series good on its own merit and also if the series has the same spirit as the source material.

The people complaining about the nuke are wrong. The timeline in no way decanonises New Vegas. The fall of Shady Sands and the nuke hitting it are two separate items on the timeline with an arrow between them. The way visual timelines work is that they are two separate events, most likely with one leading to the other. In other words, Hank nuked Shady Sands because if tell (probably into depravity and corruption). We don't know when he launched the nuke.

Nah. Invincible releasing weekly with a cliffhanger then that abysmal 3 month hiatus turned me to the absolute stance that weekly releases majorly suck. Let the art stand on its own without relying on community hype and theorycrafting to artificially and temporarily boost the show's quality. Fallout dropped the mic and is honestly the best video game to show adaptation alongside Arcane. They nailed it. So good.
@Lark884 ай бұрын
I would say it's better than Arcane. Maybe it's a better show, but I'm talking strictly in game adaptation. In Arcane, you are watching a story that takes place in the game world. In Fallout, it feels like you are watching the game being played.

I do NOT like weekly this allowed me to appreciate the story FAR BETTER than waiting 8 weeks for it to unfold. Some of us might not even have another 2 months in us I'm glad I got to complete this show when I did with my homies.

It also gives us the freedom to watch it at our own pace. I binged the whole thing in two nights. My dad is watching it one episode a night. People can watch it weekly if they want to.

Have to disagree that the Ghouls story arc is the most shallow. His story arc is probably the most fleshed out and integral to the main plot of the show, especially considering his pre-war connections to Vault-Tec. Plus we see through out the show how he isn't the totally unemotional character we first seem him portrayed as (the dog being a perfect example of that). I really do not care about lore when it comes to TV and movie adaptations. As long as the show is respectful of the original source and actually plays out like the game, that is all that matters. As much as they say it fits into the same timeline as the games, they are separate entities to me.

I don't know whether it's a reference or not, maybe an unintentional one but every single one of my playthroughs I am the guy that joins the Brotherhood for the armor and desert them immediately lmao.

Yeah, on New Vegas I always join them, loot their bunker of everything not nailed down, do the quests for the armor, then blow up the bunker. Then again, I usually do a Legion or Wild Card playthrough so I mostly wipe out all the factions once they aren't useful anymore anyways lol.
