FALLOUT REVIEW - Amazon Prime | Double Toasted

[@spifmcgrif84]

I played Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas. My pops is 64 and is in the "video games are a stupid waste of time all they do is beep at you" crowd. When I saw the trailer for the show I showed it to him, he said it was just a "video game show". Tonight we met up for some father son time and he noticed that Fallout was live. Surprisingly, he asked if I wanted to start it with him, and of course I did. After Ep1 he looked at me and said, "Well this seems like a pretty fun show! Wanna keep going?", and of course I did. By the end of Ep2 he is drilling me with questions about everything Fallout lol! He started looking up KZbin clips of the games as I was leaving to head back home. That is the magic of a good adaptation and this is going to be one of the best times I'll ever have watching shows with my pops!

[@aldunlop4622]

Yeah, that bit was a nice little easter egg from Fallout 4. I'm not really into easter eggs and nostalgia, I think it a cheap way to tug at the emotions, but after watching all the episodes, the easter eggs and nostalgia were handled very well, not just jammed in. For instance, when Coop calls the dog Dogmeat, they didn't make a big deal of it, it was just a brief comment.

I’m on episode 6 and I’m absolutely blown away. I’ve played all but the original of the games and they have truly captured the vibe of the games. The environment, the character designs, the acting and the crazy story being told is done so so well. This show is fantastic. Walter Goggins needs a damn award for his performance as the Ghoul. Dude is hilarious and menacing!

[@stoheha]

I think the most outstanding thing about the series is how stunning and immersive the show is. It's not my favorite Fallout story, but they managed to present and leverage the premise and general spirit of the games well enough. It felt so good to finally show my wife a game adaptation that organically just throws you into a fascinating world to help her see why these fantasy worlds are so revered. If these showrunners get put on a Warcraft 3 adaptation I think I'll empty my bowels. Doesn't help that the last series I watched was Netflix's Avatar the Last Airbender, which failed to immerse me because it suffers from a visual curse that I call "The CW Effect", where everything looks like it's made of plastic or something. I bet they could reboot The Witcher and put the current show to shame.

[@gladiatorone9023]

Several deaths later I back tracked and headed east, the flying bugs were at least possible to kill or avoid. I found my way to Camp McLaren eventually ran past the guards (I was just curious to see what they were guarding), and rode the Monorail to New Vegas. I followed some drunk dancing female NCR soldiers into Benny’s casino, found Benny, used black widow to kill him in his room, and took the chip. My female character was just level nine, lol.

Funny how both the Nolan brothers have got critically acclaimed projects based around nuclear war. I'm just one episode in, and it's already what all video game adaptations should be; Walton Goggins is particularly phenomenal just in his two scenes.

The reason everything's bulky is because in their timeline the transistor was never invented. Nuclear fusion was discovered so in that sense they are more advanced, just different

[@abram730]

Transistors are needed for nukes. They had them, but they were classified. In our timeline they simply made breeder reactors illegal, so nobody could afford to make nukes. In their timeline they controlled transistors, and silicon chips were only available 10 years before the great war. There are transistors and chips, but their applications are regulated. During WWII you couldn't buy a refrigerator. The tech existed, but you could only buy an ice box. That wartime economy never ended.

[@hectoraccented5312]

That's fine and dandy at first look, Buuuuuutt ....if you're not using transistors or integrated circuits (chips) how do you explain the Pip-Boy, or even worse intelligent robots, every one of those should have a "brain" the size of a three story tall building full of valves and maintenance workers, in reality doesn't add up.

[@brandon_youtube]

I think the strongest element of the show is the actors. Walton Goggins is amazing. I love every scene he's in and I just want to see more of his character. I do think fans of the original games and New Vegas might have some problems with the show. They kind of retconned the NCR. The NCR was established as a major power in the wasteland. They restored civilization to a lot of California. They've built agriculture, schools, roads, hospitals, annexed cities, etc. And the show pretty much retconned them to be much smaller. They also did something with the very first town in the entire Fallout franchise that fans of FO1 and 2 might not like.

[@Desmond-Dark]

[@DetroitAlan01]

This brings up the major problem I have with original programming on streaming. In network TV/basic cable/expanded cable/premium cable, when a series is successful, a second season is immediately green lit for production and will be out within a year. The Last Of Us just wrapped shooting season two. But, when it comes to streaming, you have to wait 2-4 years for a sophomore season. What the hell is that about? In that significant span of time, with all the new content being pumped out daily, a hit series can get lost in the shuffle due to prolonged absence. The streaming networks need to tighten their $hit up. What’s the point of watching a show if you have to wait so long for its return you sort of forget about it/give it a lower priority in the face of more current, popular shows?

Didn’t even watch it” or “if you enjoy the bad games in the series you will love it” and the ABSOLUTE WORST review I’ve seen is “dialogue was just okay” shows how well done this is. This show did exactly what it was supposed to do this show is great

21:52 Mark! Korey, you still have your Chihuahua! 🎉 ❤🐶

[@Mario-zf7xl]

The rad scorpions are no joke can’t wait for deathclaws next season

[@sparkzmentalz2]

And hopefully super mutants

[@jonflora1]

I liked how the show highlighted the Red Scare aspect of flashback bits, that and showing how powerful corporations (funny that this show is produced in part by Amazon) can really go off the rails.

[@ArcaneMelodies82]

If Lucy turns into Jinx after learning the Truth, that would be crazy.

[@andyking7621]

Roll on the next series (I'm English, I don't call series seasons) Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a bit fan of F3 and New Vegas ...Only got a 360 so that's the limit of what I can play. Really good work.

[@funnyguy7511]

I was crying laughing with the Yao scene

[@kerry-j4m]

I've never played the game before,so,my expectations are very low. I've watched 3 episodes of this show on amazon-prime so far,it's not to bad tho,has pretty good production values. Been on the look-out for a new sci-fi tv series since the Expanse ended,this series is not too bad tho. Nice to watch something new and different too.

[@fanguy2]

Had a question I needed answered for anyone whose seen episode 8. Minor spoiler alert - - - - How did Maximus find Lucy? Was it supposed to be the tracker? I dont remember them talking about Muldaver's location

[@toughfff712]

The great thing with this story background, is that main character is new to the world so information dumps are expected, but they pull from the source material and make it seemless

[@galacticspecter4364]

At least with waiting two years for the second season, the new fans from the show will have plenty of time to get into the games.

[@exodore2000]

This is how star wars should of handled Finn.

[@ThrghmyEyeZZ]

I hated Max but Finn was very likable just bad writing imo

[@jc2367]

Yeah Finn was a solid character, max is boring

[@danm3570]

fallout 3 and new vegas were great but fallout 4 was basically the same game as the last 2 with smoother graphics, which i was sick of by then. First 2 were fun but very different feel

[@hongquiao]

Ever wondered why the Vault Boy (the thumbs up guy) is giving a thumbs up? Hint, he's not. Back in the days during the cold war, school kids would be shown lots of PSAs on surviving a nuclear attack (Duck and Take Cover!!!) But what if you see a mushroom cloud off in the distance? Are you safe? Or should you run? Well, put your arm out with a thumbs up and close one eye. If the mushroom cloud is bigger than your thumb, you're still in the danger (radiation) zone. Otherwise, you're A-OK champ! ;)

[@TheBloodyPopcorn]

Did anybody else think the movie Love and Monsters was pretty much Fallout?

[@johnlopez9014]

Martin might be talking about “ love & monsters” really underrated movie that’s similar to the show n game

[@scranton123]

I really liked the Ghoul's character development, particularly in the end how he and Lucy become allies. Didn't really liked the knight. The character and the actor, he seemed annoying to me.

[@Lucas.D.Hernandez]

What streaming service I'd this on

[@Smorgasvord]

Amazon Prime

[@jareds8729]

talking to others at work (who were also up to episode 3-5) all of us who jumped in at fallout 4 will love it. fo4 is 1 of my fav games of all time and they targeted that audience perfectly. i still am only up to ep 4 tho, hope they dont fumble the ending , it actually makes me miss playing fo4 in virtual reality, it was like living in that world without that actual risk of it

[@concor10]

Got to admit they nailed the brotherhood to a tea. Love the comment how while they are tchnically the good guysL in reality its a complicated organiztion from onje of the squires lol

[@concor10]

Also love how the MC resembles each games MC with how they all start of naive and alittle idiotic but by the end of the game your either heroic paladin or a pyhcotic killer. and you see the progression in the show how it happens.

[@sidney1234usc]

Nobody told me Cuba gooding Jr was going to be in this show lol

[@kingbooomer9231]

This is both a very very good adaptation from videogame to screen television AND the most disrespectful piece of media to older fans. Genuinely a solid 7/10 for FO1, FO2, and FNV fans and a 10/10 for everyone else

[@TheForbidden_1ne]

I'm not very familiar with all the fallout games. Can you explain why it's disrespectful for FO1-2 and new Vegas fans?

[@kingbooomer9231]

@@TheForbidden_1ne basically the NCR began in FO1 from Vault 15 and grew into a fledgling nation by FO2. FNV we begin to see them commit similar mistakes of the old world (the one that gets bombed out). Vault 15's whole premise is what happens when you throw in groups of different social classes, and two groups that emerged became raiders. The third was, you guessed it, the new civilization taht would become NCR. The show reducing them to raiders without allowing them to fight back in any meaningful way just trivializes their struggles and our efforts to help them. Especially since they were posed to be the superpower of the wastes and understandably bring the end to the harsher elements of Fallout

[@mikedavis6414]

Never played the game and I’m loving the show!

[@HighHeelKnight]

I bought Fallout New Vegas after most of the patches and DLC were released, so I had an awesome gaming experience. 🎮👍

[@aridante4110]

I realllllly hope the direction of these seasons goes eastward, I would absolutely love it if they had a season in the Capital Wasteland :D It’s actually kinda prophetic, starting off where F1 began. But why wasn’t Maxson mentioned anywhere? I was actually suprised because the Brotherhood is so dedicated to the name. Anyway, f*ng loved the show, absolutely loved it.

[@jeff0064]

Lucy reminds me of Wendy from the original "Wonder Years" show, if anyone remembers that.

[@SpannSr1970]

It was a show from the 70’s it was color underground and black and white cowboys above ground.

[@kubeanie18]

just finished season 1 it was awesome.. cant wait for season 2 in vegas

[@jaythomas468]

I couldn’t believe how good this adaptation was. Even the three main characters are kinda different “archetypes” of the in-game morality and reputation system.

[@LSLARNMBW]

Thanks for the review, fellas! I started up episode 1 and really enjoyed the portrayal of the vault. I’m trying not to binge it, I want to draw it out so the wait for season 2 isn’t too painful 😁

[@jakejager]

Power armor is all.practical in the show. That's why at times it looks weirdly light but overall badass.

[@shinndig1293]

This show gives me hope that a BioShock adaptation can work.
