Why was the Fallout TV show SO GOOD?! (I'll tell you why)

I had an unbelievable experience watching Fallout the TV series for MANY reasons. Absolutely everything in this show was spectacular down to the very last detail. The plotline, side stories, characters, everything. This show will forever be a MASSIVE success!

[@csb78nm]

The storytelling, acting, direction and set and sound design are so compelling that someone who is not steeped in Fallout lore still gets a great ride. I love Fallout, but my significant other ... not an iota. Yet we both loved the storytelling, the visuals and the compelling acting.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

I totally agree! I'm a fan of Fallout already from the games, but I've heard of a lot of people who haven't played the games that decided to dive into the games because of how much fun they had watching the show! That's a victory for the franchise for sure! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it like I did! Thank you a TON for the comment and tuning in!!

Thank you a TON for your support!! I most definitely will keep putting content out there! It's been a blast so far!

[@ThatOneGuy24143]

It’s obvious you spent a lot of time on this. Exceptionally done as always and excellent overview of the series. I enjoyed it! Well done.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

Thank you!! I definitely tried to up my editing game! I appreciate you tuning in man!!

[@liampugh]

Some cgi… I suggest you watch the vfx breakdowns. The immediate foreground and actors are largely the only things filmed on location that end up in the final frame. There was so much invisible set dressing/extension CGI that no one even thinks off.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

Really! I'll have to tune in! That's wild! I didn't think there was a ton of cgi!! I knew there was some! Like the mutants in Vault 4 and some of the larger sets, but I largely thought the places were on location with actual set pieces! Thanks for the comment and tuning in!!

[@TheRobmcknz]

A friend of mine told me to watch this series. He loves the games and told me that he and I should put together FO cosplays for the comic con we go to every year. After watching the first episode, I could not stop. I went online and bought FO:NV. A month later I saw Steam was having a sale, so I bought FO1-4 and Tactics. I’m writing this as I see together a vault suit for a convention in 2 months. The show may not be “perfect” but it’s damn close.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

The steam sale is always a banger!! Good call on getting them all! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's just about as close to perfect as it could've been! It was SO enjoyable! I'm glad you've become a fan too! All the games are spectacular! Thank you so much for the comment and tuning in!!

If treat this show as non canon tv series the I would give it a score of 4/10. There was pretty good acting in few scenes, and the brutality of the wasteland was pretty nicely done. However if you start taking into the account the lore of Fallout Universe the we start to have some complications. Firstly we have the infamous board explaining the history of NCR that doesn't sit well with the events happening in Fallout New Vegas game (the did even get wrong how New Vegas looks in the final scene of this tv series). Secondly the didn't showed us any alive creatures like Super Mutants, Deathclaws, Fire Geckos, Protectrons, Sentry Bots, bloatfly's, Radscorpions, and Mirelurks (I will skip Wanamingo, since they were destroyed by the Chosen One). Finnaly there wasn't any usage of energy weapons through the entire duration of this tv series (the energy weapons are the primary weapons for Brotherhood of Steel faction). Oxhorn did pretty good video explaining how that infamous board explaining the history of NCR is problematic to the lore events from Fallout New Vegas. Ps. I wonder if there were any easter eggs referencing Fallout Brotherhood of Steel PS2 game, and Fallout Online (known as Projekt V13) that we could find in Fallout TV series?

[@kevsclassicmovies]

What did you guys think of the Fallout TV show?! It's without a doubt the best TV show I've seem in YEARS

[@AleksKieca]

I enjoy the show, and I enjoyed the changes that were made like the PA helmets being able to open the face like Iron Man and the idea of Radroaches actually being dangerous creatures. And if they actually made Radroaches dangerous then what they planned for Deathclaws, then oh god, the characters are fucked.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

@@AleksKieca I know!! I can't wait for these epic creatures like super mutants! I think they will up the ante in this next season with a different creature! I can't wait!! Thanks a ton for the comment!!

[@billtillchock7652]

I think this series is a satire of modern day America.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

I think it is to a point as well, but it seems like it's still more so rooted in the fallout universe lore. Regardless, great show!!! Thanks for the comment and tuning in!

[@theheatinferno8420]

Yes. So are the games. You think we don't deserve it?

[@BigSebi]

Brother, what do you mean the show wasn't political? it basically lampoons capitalism by implying the bombs fell because a corporation wanted more power.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

I mean in the current day stuff! They aren't doing any current day political stuff. The show has politics implemented in it for sure, but that's a natural part of the universe and lore! Thanks a ton for tuning in and the comment!!

[@TheRobmcknz]

That’s not politics, it’s economics. As far as the politics of economic systems are concerned, it doesn’t really do anything with modern day, real world politics. It sticks with the politics of the 1950’s cold war era, focusing on rooting out communism in the states.

[@aerindinescarro47]

@@kevsclassicmoviesThe main lead is a girl, that’s considered “political” to some people, and they’re phasing a mixed race couple with Maxson and Lucy, that would also be considered political by bad faith actors But I sorta agree it’s not “sore thumb” political, if that’s what you’re getting at

[@swapsplat]

​@aerindinescarro47 nobody is complaining because the main character is female. Because she's realistic. She isn't a Mary Sue. She doesn't "girl boss" her way through the show.

[@theheatinferno8420]

So you are mad that they spoke the truth?

[@GRIZY28]

I agree the shows no to political. Yes theres capitalism and all but that's the world . We dont get a bunch of current real life issues jammed down our throats so its cool with me . Show definitely didnt let me down lile halo did . Looking forward to season 2 and the react vids 👍

[@Pulse6799]

Its for tourist thats why, imagine calling something good that you aint know nothing about.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

My hundreds of hours involved in all of the games says otherwise :)

[@anguswilliam2141]

I liked it but it only just got across the line after all the BOS storyline which was awful. If the whole show was around that story, it would have flopped hard. 6/10

[@Miss_Stories]

Good video, but I have to disagree with the end as Fallout is inherently political in much of its subject matter.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

That's true! I think the subject matter itself is political, but I think they kept it in the realm of fallout, amd stayed away from the current politics :) thank you a TON for the comment and tuning in!!!

They make fun of capitalism and communism. I think you are being too sensitive.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

I mean people are definitely allowed to have opinions, I'm just strongly of the opinion that it was a great show! Thanks for the comment!!

[@connorapurcell]

@19:57 "Ideologies have been steadily creeping in and ruining great franchises" - the inclusion of a trans actress portraying a character in the Brotherhood didn't "ruin" it, but it was noticeable and annoying; the discourse around this casting decision was even more annoying, and clearly motivated by leftist political views. Again, it didn't "ruin" the show - mainly because she was portraying a side character, and only in a handful of episodes - but this could definitely be viewed as an ideology "steadily creeping in", and I don't think it added anything to the show...

[@kevsclassicmovies]

I noticed the trans actress in the first episode and initially was like oh god here we go. But she only had the 5 minutes of screen time and we didn't see her again until the the last two and she didn't have even a large part, so that made me happy. But I can see a few underlying political left issues with the show, but largely it seems it stayed away. Although I have been bummed that I haven't seen a same race couple in tv ib like 10 years it seems like :/ thank you for the comment and tuning in!!

[@connorapurcell]

@@kevsclassicmovies yup, if she's in the next season I hope her part is as sparse as the first, or she's in it even less... it doesn't make sense to the story at all to have a trans character in the BROTHERHOOD... maybe they could get away with it if she was a resident of Vault 4 LOL I just hope she remains on the periphery of what was otherwise an enjoyable series and not an early warning sign of more poor, regressive leftist ideological decisions 'steadily creeping in' to the production in the future...

[@theheatinferno8420]

Fallout was made by a gay guy. It is pretty unwoke for being made by a gay guy.

[@connorapurcell]

@@theheatinferno8420 the sexual preferences of a storyteller are irrelevant, gay ≠ woke, and your assertion relies on a false equivalency; also, attributing the entirety of the Fallout series and game series to one person is ludicrous. An analogous situation would be attributing the entirety of Star Wars to George Lucas - yes, he was the original creator and is responsible for developing the foundation that all of Star Wars has built upon, but there are countless creatives who have contributed immensely to various Star Wars projects... saying that Star Wars was all made by George would be disingenuous and would discount the contributions made by others - that's precisely what you're doing to Fallout by saying that it was "made by a gay guy" (which again, isn't relevant anyways).

[@artyom-ovsepyan]

It really wasn’t.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

I appreciate the comment but absolutely disagree lol

[@wadewilson6628]

I don't know what show ypu were watching but Fallout was garbage. The writing was amateurish (huh huh, sex joke), the plot made no sense, (Let's nuke the world to make money), and the characters had no actual mostivations just what the plot required them to do. Respected the lore? They DESTROYED THE LORE. Ghouls, Vaultec, The NCR. All destroyed. All you see is the member berries. Consume product, get excited for next product.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

I appreciate the comment, but I'm in total disagreement here. I've played all games minus fallout 1 and tactics and they kept all the games lore intact except a few timeliness discrepancies. The writing was spectacular minus maybe 1 or 2 overall things (I do agree that sex joke was a bit ambitious), but this show was a total blast. And that's coming from someone who dislikes all the recent crap coming out in Hollywood nowadays

[@FightIdiocracy]

They also completely retconned the ideology and principles of Mr. House and retconned Mr. Sinclair I recommend that you watch Creetosis and Enclave Emily's review of the show.

[@theheatinferno8420]

That is the same argument every incel uses to hate on the show. Congrats 👏

[@Hexiad]

Evidence that standards are in the floor. The writing was objectively abysmal and this _thing_ gets praised for the writing. People have just given up and eat Cheetos for breakfast.

[@Damian-cilr2]

Imo its...good,if not for one tiny minute detail,it takes place on the west coast. It tries to do the fallout 4 thing where the faction dies with its main base of operations (in season 1) notice how the ncr barely exists at all when the ncr,not only had like 700k people at the time of fo2 which would be at the very minimum 1 mil by nv,it controlled a fair bit of california and the capital being nuked wouldn't completely erase the ncr. It follows fallout 4 more than the games (some) of the fans adore,like,1,2 and nv,and also they moved SHADY SANDS INTO LA what the fuck thats like moving las vegas to san francisco,ok maybe more of an extreme example but.. Also the dates on that one stupid mistake of a chalkboard contradict new vegas very much Shady sands likely was on the decline by 2277 yes,but the whole nuking of the capital BY VAULT TEC NO LESS was so goddamn stupid i can't,oh and the enclave having a vault right in ncr territory This show is based off of fallout 4 with the location of fallout 1,but messed up in multiple ways.

[@kevsclassicmovies]

I did see a video a few days after I watched the series that disputed some of the dates from the earlier fallouts. I wasn't nearly as familiar woth those games as fallout 3 and beyond. I can see why that could be frustrating for some people, but I think they did the best they could with what they had! I appreciate your comment and thanks for tuning in!!
