My theory on why Cooper didnt want to do the thumbs up is because he knows the truth since this takes place AFTER episode 8. Before when posing for Vault-tech, he was ok with the thumbs up but after he learns the truth of Vault-Tech...

I agree with you, and I thought this train of thought was extremely obvious when I watched the show. Of course he wouldn't want to do the thumbs up.

[@galerios1]

I have to point it out. When Lucy says she's not very good at riflery it cuts to her target where she has an insane grouping considering she is firing an automatic weapon. Add to that the accuracy with which she shoots throughout the series and you essentially have a naive girl, taught not to use violence being very very good at violence. And as her character evolves she begins understanding the world better and understands that violence is necessary. The culmination of this concept comes when Lucy kills the ghoul that was her mother. Lucy best exemplifies the player character because the player character is generally from a vault and is forced into violence because they wandered into the real world. Lucy is literally every new Fallout player. A babe in the woods. Until she levels up...

[@RobRoss]

I agree. I saw that grouping and I thought she was downplaying her shooting skills because she was perhaps embarrassed that she had become this good at a skill that their vault culture would have looked down on.

[@galerios1]

@@RobRoss I've been around firearms my whole life and I am a U.S. Army Veteran. Give me any weapon and I can use it. But give me a full rock and roll, there is no way in hell I could put together a grouping that tight. Semi-auto, revolvers, lever, pump, Yes. An infantry unit I served with in Afghan actually gave me props because they let me fire a 50 BMG and I nailed the target. I was an IT specialist 25B. They were crazy impressed.

Question is how it got down there. Not from the outside, as the vault seals were still intact. My guess is that somebody from Vault 32 figured out what Vault 31 was and started talking, so the "overseer" of Vault 31 released the blight into Vault 32 to silence them.

[@RobRoss]

My interpretation of the “Thumbs Up” is that it wasn’t a common hand sign in their alternate cultural timeline. If Howard learned it as a military technique, (and I have no reason to believe otherwise,) then it was Howard who introduced the “thumbs up” into the culture of the Fallout universe. And as a marketing slogan, it just means “everything is ok”, as it means to us in our real world.

[@seansommo]

The 2 episodes with Buds buds if you have subtitles on. When you see the robo brain and he speaks the subtitles name the character (brain-on-a-roonba).

[@colten-jamessunday7513]

The ghoul has a very similar background to the main character in fallout 4. Been in combat, had a family and kid, and I hope that his kid is at least still alive and perfectly fine. We don’t really know exactly if the ghoul spent time in a vault at all I can’t wait to see what happens. Especially in NV. He also shares a lot of similarities to the vault Tec rep maybe he got left out or not allowed in when it was time for the bombs, they just used him for their own good.

[@charleyblack101]

I'm assuming both his wife and kid are either in vault 31 or in a vault in new Vegas. Coz hank goes there and said something about seeing those in charge. She was definitely in charge

[@scottw.3258]

Was his daughter not with him when the bombs fell though? In order for his daughter to be with his wife in a vault, he would have to have ridden his horse to the vault where upon they opened the door specifically to allow his daughter in, while preventing him from entering. Would they be able to override the doors so soon after the bombs fell? It confused me slightly when the Ghoul asked Hank where is 'family' was? I have to presume that his daughter died, or was ghoulified and became feral. His wife, one would imagine, is going to be found in New Vegas, though, perhaps the Ghouls story through however many series this runs for, will be about finding his wife.

[@charleyblack101]

@@scottw.3258 I'm thinking when he knew everything he confronted his wife leading to the divorce and the bombs where dropped somewhat prematurely for her, so her daughter wasnt with her. I'm thinking somehow he knew where to go and it was close. They knocked him. Out and locked him out after, maybe because of radiation. That's why he survived the early stuff coz he became a ghoul, otherwise why would he ask about his family? Like you say, he didnt say his wife but family. That makes me think she lived

[@Jessethoth]

It's not that big of a stretch to say that "Prydwyn" is actually a CLASS of airship and they just called it that in Boston because it's the only one they had available at that time. If I remember right, both 2 and Tactics (which is still PARTIALLY canon but they now cherry pick certain parts of Tactics to be canon) there were OTHER airships. Very likely the Brotherhood would reclaim and try to restore them, just a good investment for them.

[@youngnat]

Always referred to as THE prydwen but not a big stretch, I agree.

Would make more sense for it to be the Prydwen though, only way you could get the T-60s to LA

Former Marine, MOS...5711 (N.B.C.), Nuke, Bio, Chem defense specialist. We were taught the "Thumbs Up", not to determine if we should run or not, but to try and judge (guesstimate) the distance of the blast without going blind. I would then head into the area to set up decontamination areas. The creators of Fallout 1 did not realize, it seems, that the military did in fact use the Thumbs Up. edit...there were times and places where I did teach peaple when best to run. Being stationed on Okinawa my class usually had me teach "Kiss your Azz goodbye because, on an island, there's no where to run".

wow, that's really interesting mate. thank you for sharing your story!

[@aaronjenkins223]

Also former 5711 here. I wonder when you were in? 2012-2018 here, I assume you were before that due to saying NBC instead of CBRN lol. We were never taught anything about holding up the thumb for anything. For distance we would use flash to bang time. We would then combine that woth cloud height to estimate payload. Then we could plot and advise accordingly. I wonder of what you were taught was actually in the manual back in the day, or just something one of the instructors was putting out there. I think one of the CWOs I worked with that had been in operation Tomodachi and had said something about being taught to use the thumb ad well. Kinda crazy to think of the small differences a few years can make on SOP.

[@orthex13]

@@aaronjenkins223 i served 87-91. And a lot of what I taught and was taught was rather unconventional, due to being on an island. Most of what is taught goes under the assumption you are on a continent. What works for Nebraska does not work for Manhattan. We did use flash to bang to judge distance. But, as i said my job had us going toward the blast. We had to know about where it was. We also had to figure out the cone of contamination where fallout would be, air speed and direction, loads od semi technical stuff. I remeber my warrent Officer telling us to look for the blast, but not at it. Told us to use something, like a thumb or finger, to cover the blast, to keep from going blind, but to as accurate as possible, determine where the blast was. edit...i should also state as part of my job, on an island, was to decon our remaining forces to continue the fight if possiable. But in the end, we all would suffer from radiation poisoning. That was a fact.

Coop does a different thumbs up than the vault boy does. I don't think his intention was the nuclear thumb test thing, at the photo shoot, as he holds his thumb in near his chest, where he can't look through it. But his reasoning for not wanting to do it, later in his personal story, is clearly Vault-tec related, despite his explanation to his daughter being practical in nature. He doesn't want to do it, because it became the symbol of something he hates.

[@robbe3334]

[@VanityOfEliCLee]

The Prydwen was built in 2 years. The show takes place 9 years after Fallout 4. The Prydwen being in the show doesn't canonize any endings for Fo4, because there is plenty of time between the two for the BoS in the Capital wastes to rebuild the Prydwen if the Sole Survivor blew it up in Fo4.

[@lunamax1214]

There is another possible explanation for the airship, but it might be a stretch: It could be that the East Coast Brotherhood has developed more models of aerial vehicles since FO4. So, this could simply be what they call a Prydwen *class* airship that happens to be named the Caswennan. We won't know for sure until later seasons/games (if ever), but its still a possibility.

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

that's a good point! i think it is the prydwen given the similarity between the in-game and in-show designs, but i don't deny they were able to build more. might be tough though given limited resources

15:00 The refrigerator is seen in Fallout 4 as well. Only this time it involves a family of ghouls. The son hid inside the one he is found in when the bombs dropped. For some reason the door had a locking mechanism and it locked him inside. For 210 years he was trapped inside until the Sole Survivor unlocks the door and lets him out. His parents are nearby and are not very concerned that he has been 'lost' for all this time. Also, with the reveal that the airship is, indeed, the Prydwyn, the producers have actually revealed which of the timelines that they have chosen to be canon in Fallout 4.

Why haven't I seen a single person mention the kid in a fridge quest in fallout 4? It was a huge meme for so long yet everyone somehow forgot? Lmao

[@JohnCastleSmokeless]

When the person who creates an image says it means one thing, and the person who bought the rights to the image (but didn't create it) says it means something else, the person who created it wins.

Great video as well as the episode breakdowns as well. I have a random bit of trivia that maybe unrelated but I will toss it out anyway. Max was the name of one of the pre-gen characters from Fallout 1. So when folks call Maximus by Max later on I remembered this little tidbit.

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

thank you so much!

[@fliegendertitanfliegendert8691]

I wonder the whole time where are all the children in the class we see in the first episode

[@oliverogden4999]

I’m waiting on the rest of your reviews of the episodes great video Lone

[@darganism4338]

@Oxhorn will likely be super relieved that the Prydwen is officially still unique 😂

[@octalogicsmith9028]

In fallout four you find a kid in a refrigerator Ağgül in a refrigerator and you have to help him find his way back to his parents or sell him to slavers.

[@radiumtheatre]

That ad read was Cody Johnson drinking AG1 level good

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

Hahaha thank you so much mate

[@skeven0]

Might be a longshot, but Cooper Howard can be also be named after Kyle Maclachlann's character in Twin Peaks ( Special Agent Dale Cooper) where he helps out a Sheriff in a small town

[@mikejett2733]

Why would the boston capter leave 4 califorinia

[@IronModeOfficial]

I just wish it explained the brother hood better for people who didn’t play the game. Especially since it’s pretty deep lore and explains a lot of their battle between the enclave

[@Nix_Abyss]

I hope you do a video of the other episodes they’re really great

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

I really appreciate that mate

[@Nix_Abyss]

@@LoneVaultWanderer been with you and Matty a long time. It feels great to finally be excited for Fallout again!! 🥺 Love ya brother!

[@marjoe32]

Love it! Good job.

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

thank you!

[@joshuatidy-bl9ue]

15:20 what about Billy the kid in a fridge from fallout 4?

[@LifelessTooth]

I love the compromise about the whole Vault Boy thumbs up thing. Even when they confirm the theory seemingly against the original devs' wishes, they still do it in a respectful way. _Vault-Tec_ likely never thought about it when using the mascot and just used it as a sign that things are ok, but as the actual person who came up with the idea, Cooper goes on to regret doing it after realizing what Vault Tec was up to

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

Glad you like it :)

[@galidornII]

you missed nolan introducing the 3 characters similar to the way as 'the Good the Bad and the Ugly' characters are introduced with with short sequence and lable/name. also flags are east coast BOS colors. Dont forget west coast had created advanced post war power power armors from tech they took from enclave and redesigned themselves, which tod has never shown or mentioned with the advanced PA Midwest used. (first dude saying mid west chapter isn't cannon... gets a punch in the D*ck) also Shady Sands wasn't in the Bone Yard (L.A.) the way its shown in the TV show and that name boneyard and its numerous town inside it isn't even referenced.

[@skramerwrites]

Jesus Christ. You are the fucking best, man. Thank you. I’ve been having a rough week but your channel has made me smirk and smile all week.

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

I'm so sorry to hear that mate, but I'm glad I could make you feel better. Take care of yourself 💪🏼

[@spunkybruiser]

Lol, did this guy never do the quest, "kid in a fridge" in fall out 4.... Oh poor Billy.

[@valor1omega]

Episode 7 there is a minuteman seen.

[@peterheinzman7022]

The BOS boy could be a nod the boy in the fridge of fallout 4 the one where you can sale him or take him home

[@DrLynch2009]

I thought Cooper Howard was a reference to actor Gary Cooper and director Howard Hawk.

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

could be too!

[@President_Dave]

The Vault Boy's thumbs up origin really doesn't contradict what Brian Fargo and T. Ray Isaac said, if anything it confirms it. The Vault Boy's thumbs up pose is based on Cooper Howard doing a thumbs up for the cameras - nothing to do with mushroom clouds. In fact he's doing a curved-arm pose not Vault Boy's outstretched arm pose. Just because Howard later on doesn't want to do a thumbs up because of the mushroom cloud theory and because of his aversion to Vault-Tec, doesn't change that Vault Boy is simply doing a 'positive thumbs up' as Fargo puts it.

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

Yes that was my theory in the video. I think it respects the original intention of Interplay but also expands the lore nicely

[@President_Dave]

@@LoneVaultWanderer indeed. I love it when they can add to the lore without retconning!

[@NxExQxULTIMATUM]

When was there a junk-jet, Fo76?

[@KwikWon01]

Fallout 4, 3 and NV had a junk jet

[@angelariley5163]

[@WastedPot]

Don’t suppose you want to do an up to date Tale of Two Wastelands install guide in 2024 for cavemen like me?

[@votago]

They didn’t have any laser or plasma weapons
