FALLOUT (2024) EPISODE 1 REACTION - THIS SHOW LOOKS AMAZING! - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to the Fallout (2024) show.
Fallout (2024) is the gripping new Amazon Prime Video series based on the iconic video game. Starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan, with visionary direction by Jonathan Nolan, this adaptation brings the beloved game to life in thrilling fashion.
Jonathan Nolan did such a great job bringing this world to life. As newcomers we thought the exposition was delivered in a very simple yet effective manner. The cinematography looked absolutely stunning and the set design is truly out of this world. Lucy is such a magnetic character. Her charisma and values create a stark contrast once she ventures into the real world giving us a fresh take on the fish out of water trope.
Ella Purnell's portrayal of a resilient survivor, Walton Goggins as a cunning antagonist bring depth to this chaotic new world. Jonathan Nolan's direction ensures a cinematic experience, masterfully blending intense drama with the dark humor and iconic elements of the Fallout universe. The show excels in both storytelling and visual spectacle, making it a standout addition to the genre.

FALLOUT EP 2 REACTION: th-cam.com/video/yaOEWPYxzIw/w-d-xo.html
Yall should start a gaming channel.
Its the perfect video game adaptation for normies that dont play video games..
Welcome to the Fallout community! I am very excited to watch your reactions to this series! You will definitely have to start the games! Lots of game to show relativity!
The games are full of 40s/50s music, even have their own music radio stations, lol, and the series uses tracks used in the games :)
Denise's reaction to the gore in the series reflects exactly what happens in the games. Is everything so exaggeratedly gloomy and bloody that it turns funny at the end. and is almost impossible not to laught
Whoever did the set design in this show deserves a fucking award. I swear, I envy the actors just for getting to walk in them.
RIGHT?! The sets looked absolutely stunning!
The sets were actually taken straight from the game files! @@OfficialMediaKnights
@@OfficialMediaKnights Bethesda gave the production the 3D models of all the game assets so they were able to make game accurate versions for the show.
Yeah, the sets, the props and the costume design were all 10/10. Fallout through and through!
I wasn't a big fan of this show at first, but when I actually watched it I couldn't stop.
Fun fact; Walton Goggins scared the shit out of himself on set. In an interview, he told a story where he fell asleep in full prosethtics as The Ghoul and when he woke up, he forgot about it until he saw his reflection
that’s amazing 😂
Ahahahah that is the best story ever!
Haha that's actually hilarious
lol I believe that XD something id do
I'll take things that didn't happen for 1000 Alex.
Lucy's actress, Ella Purnell, voiced Jinx in Arcane and is now in Fallout. Man, someone really loves having her in videogame adaptations.
is probably herself who loves being in vidjagaem adaptations
She's honestly been killing it, what a talented actress!! Love that we're seeing more of her!
Also Yellowjackets! Awesome show :)
@@johnnymaza7080 Is that possibly the only show she's in that isn't a videogame adaptation and hasn't gotten canceled so far?
I watched the whole show not realizing that until BridgeCo mentioned it. @@johnnymaza7080
Ella Purnell said something about her character being Ned Flanders in the apocalypse. It's a pretty spot on description. 🤣
Except less unreasonably tolerant. Flanders wouldn’t ever get upset by anything except that one time, to the point it wasn’t humanly possible.
So the timeline for Fallout diverged from ours around the '50's, where instead of miniaturizing electronics and developing green technologies, we focused on nuclear tech, creating miniature fusion reactors and huge vacuum tube supercomputers, enhanced cybernetics, and robotic tech. the 1950's aesthetic as of 2077 (when the bombs dropped) was kind of a retro-futuristic sort of fad that was going on at the time, as it is documented in the games that Pretty Hate Machine and other 80's/90's era things did exist, but were out of vogue by this time.
China was the dominant antagonist superpower to America, not Russia, and constant tensions between the two fuelled a nuclear arms race much like it did in our world, but the paranoid fear of Communism was more pronounced here, sort of like if the Red Scare just became an enduring facet of society instead of just a fading memory when the USSR fell. The European Commonwealth was analogous to the EU, and Canada ended up breaking off from the UK as a commonwealth at some point too.
About 2052 is when world petroleum reserves began to run out, and oil wells began going dry. The Resource Wars began, with the European Commonwealth invading the Middle East for their oil, but after 8 years their wells dried up too, so the Commonwealth withdrew, and then devolved into infighting and the European Civil War began. Tensions between China and America flared, and the Sino-American war began in 2060. The US had already invaded Mexico for it's oil, and car manufacturers were desperately trying to switch over to fusion tech as gas engines were no longer viable with no fuel. Vault-Tec corporation had been established in 2054 and won the contract for the government project Safehouse, to prepare for a potential nuclear war with China.
In 2066, China invaded Alaska, and Power Armor units were the mainstays of both fighting forces. By 2076, the US had annexed Canada to bolster its failing economy and began pushing back, launching a counter-invasion of China, and then, just a year later... The Great War happened, the launch of China's nukes after being pressed up against the wall by the US military prompted our own nuclear response, and, well... you know the rest. 200 years later is when the events of most of the Fallout games take place.
As to the Vaults, they each had their own distinct directives, the only known ones to be connected to each other are the ones in the show: 31, 32, and 33.
Also, Ghouls are irradiated humans who didn't die, but rather mutated and adapted to the radiation, although their features are 'ghoulified' in the process. This gives them very long extended lifespans, and actually gives them increased strength and regeneration in the presence of radioactive material. They have no noses so they can eat food normies find disgusting (yes they still need to eat and drink), but their status makes them resistant to most drugs so they have to take copious amounts to get the same effect as humans do. Their enhanced physiology that is resistant to damage helps them in this as well.
Thank you for the awesome backstory and context! It was a great read 😃
@@OfficialMediaKnights No problem, I've always loved the idea of an alternate timeline where we chose to continue building on nuclear power rather than being unreasonably afraid of it, and of course, the exploration of what a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland would look like. I'm a history nerd and seeing alternate histories in games and fiction is so much fun to me
Great summary. Additionally, Ghouls turn feral when not constantly guzzling on drugs (There are heaps of performance enhancing drugs, boosting physical and mental abilities (that's the inhaler one of the Raiders in the vault raid inhaled) and also drugs to fight of the effects of radiation (Rad X) which will show up in the show later on,
outstanding history. im glad you did this for them :D
@@OfficialMediaKnights its worth noting that the USSA aka the USA annexed Canada in the 2060s. so the USSA is more or less ALL of north america
A show that isn’t afraid of being a video game adaptation. Even in its world logic (like stim packs healing you pronto)
YESSSS, we loved that they kept that, more game adaptations should do that!
Future tech in an "old fashioned" 50'ies future is such a great concept.
Is it relatable though? There were times something happens that expects you to have played the games and my reaction was "wt# is going on" and never really got an answer. It's one thing to include things from the games, but you have to explain it for those who haven't played or your series feels like an acid trip.
@@BattleAngelFan99 Video gaming really got going in the nineties so there has been a whole generation that grew up gaming. I have never played Fallout but I have played enough games that are similar not to be thrown by game elements like instant healing utilities or UI driven computing devices.
@@BattleAngelFan99 - Or you could look up an answer online. You have the majority of the world's knowledge at your fingertips. Show some initiative.
I'm glad so many people being introduced to Fallout are enjoying it as much as they are.
It's honestly amazing how great the show is and how many fans of the games are enjoying the show, as well as non-gamers!
I just love that one Nolan gave us the Before The Bomb and the other one is giving us the After The Bomb.
2:32 I LOVE how they did this part. You're paying attention to the girl being happy and they don't actually show you what happened, just a bright flash in the window, but you know exactly what just happened. Chilling.
Fun Fact: Hank (Lucy's dad), Kyle MacLachlan played Paul Atreides in David Lynch's Dune
Yes, though he is probably best known as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper from another Lynch production: Twin Peaks. Another Lynch/MacLachlan project is Blue Velvet.
As a long time practically obsessed fan of fallout, I'm crazy thankful for how good this show has turned out. It has brought on so much new love and a ton of new eyes to a franchise I've loved for so long!
Ahhhh this makes us sooo happy to hear, especially from a fan of the games!! This was just that extra motivation for us to play the games asap!
@@OfficialMediaKnights The games are great! While 1 & 2 are oold, the world building and story in those hold up really well still.
@@OfficialMediaKnights well i have to say its really great to see you guys react to this. This show itself is crazy in more ways than one, even for us fallout fans. Though, i must warn you, the beginning scene of the next episode is a sad and brutal one, i won't spoil it for you, but its kinda hard to watch. Also, just a small bit of criticism: I wish you guys showed your reactions to the other scenes in the episode, like when maximus had his flashback after touching the armor or at the beginning of the ghouls chapter we're the bounty hunters take down the guard wearing the poncho. Though i guess you edited out those scenes to avoid getting harassed by youtube, lord knows they're always being a pain. But nevertheless, you both did great here and i look forward to seeing you react to the rest of the episodes.
The first clue that something was off about vault 32 was the fact that Monty wasn’t clean shaven.
Usually I prefer reactions that have played the games. But them not having a clue is kind of hilarious and fun.
Just a couple of non-spoiler game mentions - The 'stimpak' (syringe) is almost a cure-all. It's your basic medkit in the game. It doesn't cure everything, but will at least improve most things with immediate results. The orange inhaler the raider used is 'Jet', an inhaled steroid. As you have noticed by now, the show has a very dark and violent sense of humor. This come directly from the game which is perfectly matched in tone. Towards the end, you may have seen someone shot and killed with an arm of a baby doll. This was done with a 'junk jet' - a gun from the game that you literally load and fire with junk. Ghouls are people who have been exposed to radiation for extended periods of time. You'll learn a little more about them as the season progresses but props to Denise for spotting the hospital bags above the Ghoul's grave. It was relevant. Also, using the irony of the music is a big element of the game. The cheerful 50's crooner music set to a catastrophic or violent landscape/scene is itself part of the story and almost a character itself as a reminder of the moral of the story.
Fertiliser + Plastic = Jet
The inhaler is called Jet. It's makes you feel like the world around you slows down and takes you to the moon lol
The opening "prologue" of this episode is (and I'm not even kidding" one of the most amazing openings to a TV show I've ever seen in my nearly 50 years of being on this planet. And the rest of the episode was pretty damn good also :D lol
Completely agreed. The cold open to this episode is sheer perfection.
hands down one of the most haunting openings to a show, just instantly fills you with dread the moment the light flashes.
That opening was fantastic! We got goosebumps 🔥
@@OfficialMediaKnights To give a bit of background info for that scene: This was the result of the Great War between USA and China. That's the reason why there was not a single nuke but multiple ones. It was full nuclear assault on both sides.
@@hitn-gaming and it lasted for two hours, if i remember correctly.....
I am SO glad you guys are watching this🙌
So are we, so far the show has been incredible!!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsit only gets better and better this show is special
"JONATHAN NOLAN?!!!" Yup, the fact that HE was doing this made us all REALLY confident this was gonna be a genuine TRIP. Especially since, now that Westworld is finished, he and his regular co-writer Lisa Joy needed another heavywheight project with SERIOUS LEGS to occupy their time ...
The older council member in the Vault in this is Leslie Uggams, aka Blind Al from Deadpool :D
Thank you so much for reacting to my childhood video games. Played every game and the lessons about life that it teaches u especially in fallout NV. Its gotten me through life and its made me join the military as well. As a service member myself rn the show was perfectly made and we even have a marching "Lucy" cadence. I hope you guys will react to the rest of the show.
I love the games, grew up on them
This show is 100% the correct way to do an original story in an existing video game universe.
Another interesting fact if you didn't notice, Betty (the elderly lady with the affro) is the blind lady from Deadpool :)
Those suits of armor they are wearing called "power armor" are actually real practical suits in a bunch of shots
I’ll say it again - your audio is the best on TH-cam.
SO THRILLED that you're reacting to Fallout! As a veteran of all the major Fallout games, the attention to detail in this show has blown my mind. So many tiny "insignificant" things that most viewers will not even notice are there for the game fans to geek out over. Simply incredible how appealing this is whether you're familiar with the game(s) or not.
Anxiously waiting for more! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🤗😁👍
Glad you’re watching this. They absolutely nailed this show and stayed faithful to the source material. You’ll love it even though you haven’t played the game, but for us who have, it’s something special
Also the black lady in the counsel is also Blind Al from Deadpool.
OMG WHATTTTT
@@OfficialMediaKnights and Honcho, the bounty hunter who revives the Ghoul is Bubba from Forrest Gump :)
@@OfficialMediaKnights Yeah its hard to see without the glasses and without all the cussin'
They got about the cutest little actress they could find for that role lol. adorable
As for another show, definitely The Expanse! I think you guys would love it. It’s a futuristic hard sci-fi, based on a set of books that were written by the former assistants of George R.R. Martin.
It was originally a SyFy show that got cancelled after season 3 because it was so expensive for a network channel, but the fans were so in love with it they campaigned all the big streaming platforms to pick it up, fans crowdsourced and flew a plane over Amazons headquarters with a banner that said save the expanse, as well as sent a model of one of the ships into space.
We have been getting some recommendations for The Expanse and it sounds like it's right up our alley! It's always amazing to see what fans can do!
totally this!👆👆👆🙂🙂🙂
@@OfficialMediaKnights Oh hell yes. I was hooked immediately, but for some folks it takes them until the 3rd episode to get *really* hooked, lined, and sunk. Whole-heartedly +1 The Expanse.
YEEEES! The Expanse is the best Sci Fi show ever made. I'd loooove to follow a reaction to that. I hope that happens!
@@OfficialMediaKnights I think you're gonna love it from the first episode. Not only it's story is criminally good, but also the cinematography is outstanding and the soundtrack is epic
After watching dozens of reactions and the series, I'm just now realizing that the meds The Ghoul inhales is probably just aerosolized Rad Away 😮😮
the thing i love is all of the music in the show you can hear in the games on the ingame radio stations, and all the main fallout characters have nicknames associated with them not sure if Lucy has been given hers yet, the Vault Dweller, the Chosen one, the Warrior,the lone wander,the courier and the sole survivor in order of the games.
10:50 - The vaults are specifically designed as separate units to serve as firewalls between vaults, for just this reason - raiders, radiation, or even mutinous factions, pretty smart design, and why the vaults are isolated from each other
I’m so glad you all are watching this. And you’re catching all the little details. This show is amazing. You’ll love it
I already watched a couple of reactors that have some knowledge of Fallout react to the TV show. But its refreshing to see someone react to the show with zero knowledge. Great stuff!
The intro to the ghoul in ep. 1 had the actor that played Bubba in Forrest Gump.
having played the games and dug into the lore, as soon as i saw it was prewar America i knew exactly what day it was
Okie dokie
The old school music fits so well with this world
First Song direct from the Games. I remember all of them
9:25 The raider told that guy "Stick around". lol
YES YES YES! Been watching yall for a while, so happy yall are doing this show!
We’re so happy to be covering this! Thank you for the support and for watching ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights I am so happy this is yalls first show! I was thinking yall should do it and here we are! This show wont disappoint! Ill stick along and try to answer questions if yall have any, im a huge Fallout nerd :) After this see about Loki, Chernobyl, Midnight Mass and Andor plz!
Fun fact: The leading cowboy who digs up The Ghoul is Bubba from Forrest Gump
Mykelti Williamson
One thing I like is the possibility that the hat the Ghoul is wearing may infact be his daughters, as it looks about the same size as hers.
Every single plot line was well written towards end of the season. I love it
It's great that Boyd Crowder, Limehouse, and Daryl Crow Jr. made it out of the apocalypse. ;)
They captured the spirit of the games SO WELL in every way I started playing Fallout 4 again!
It's interesting to see your reactions to this coming in completely blind, and having never played the games before. I'm a longtime fan, playing since they were 2d isometric turn-based RPGs, and this show just absolutely nailed the tone and style of the games! Can't wait for your next episode reaction!
Glad to see you two reacting to this, I think you'll appreciate the story and characters as well as the filmmaking aspects of it all!
Perfect timing! Just watched S1 overnight so this'll be fun 👍
Talk about perfect timing! Can’t wait to see what else this show has in store for us 😄
@@OfficialMediaKnights No spoilers, but great sets, lots of character stuff and a fun soundtrack!
I'm usually a cynical, skeptical chunk of coal but I was pleasantly surprised!
Upon my first glimpse of T-60 powered armour, I thought is was Amazon Studios' version of Space Marine armour. It made me think that this was their way of slowly preparing us for the Warhammer 40K Cinematic Universe.
Glad you both enjoy it
So are we, this is a fantastic show thus far!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsawesome
Wasn't sure which reactor I wanted to watch this series with. Glad you guys decided to give it a go!
That means a lot to both of us! Thank you for all the love ❤️
Yessss! I’m so glad you guys are checking out this show. It’s so, so good. You can really tell everyone involved in making this show is respecting the universe established in the games🔥
Great first season, I love ( The Good, The Bad and The Ugly ) Style they went with introducing the characters.
Kyle MacLachlan played Paul Atreides in the David Lynch Dune movie. That's all I think of whenever I see him in something lol.
Fun fact: the guy who tried to recruit The Ghoul at the end is literally Bubba from Forrest Gump
😱😱😱😱 HOLY CRAP IT IS
11:28 I love everyone feels sad about lucy's dad, until they learned somthing about him
Long term player here and I loved it! I hope you guys react to the whole season 🙂
Wasn't expecting you guys to react to this at all, I can't wait! Walton Goggins as The Ghoul is one of my favorite characters in a long time! He's always been a great, under appreciated actor but I think this role will really put his name out there.
This reaction is interesting, it's like watching 2 vault-dwellers watch the show
I’m so happy you guys are reacting to this show! I love the way you react and i hope you will keep doing it for the next years❤
You 2 are going to love the rest of this show. Can't wait to see all of your reactions
Thank youuu, we are so pumped to share the rest with y'all, this show has been fantastic so far!
My favorite reactor couple finally embarks in the journey of Fallout the TV show.
(This comment was written before watching the video)
As a suggestion for other shows to check out, i highly, HIGHLY recommend 'Band of Brothers'. Its a 10 episode mini-series, so the same time as Fallout and not a chore to watch.
It tells the story of Easy Company during the second world war and what the men had to endure during that time. Its directed by Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the same as 'Saving Private Ryan' and i remember how much you both loved that movie.
It's considered one of the best tv shows ever made, and i would REALLY love to see you both react to it! I guarantee you wont be disappointed!
So glad you guys are watching this! Love the games, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park with this show! Fun seeing your reactions as folks who haven't played the games but who are very intelligent, observant entertainment connoisseurs!
Thank you for commenting on the excellent performance of Aaron Moten during the interrogation scene. He was able to emote so much emotion in such a short period.
The acting is fantastic and each main character had their moment to shine, but not many are pointing out that Aaron kept stride with Walton fucking Goggins ❤️
You're going to love this show. It stays true to the games in atmosphere, style, tone, etc. One thing I want to mention is the vaults are typically standalone. Vaults 31, 32, and 33 are connected which is special.
You two are very quickly becoming my fav reactors! Well done breaking things down with good points.
Thank you guys for doing this one, please do the rest, you won’t be disappointed. This is from a huge fan since Fallout 3 launched in, like, 2008.
3:01 par attention to the city proper as the shockwave zooms by it is leveling houses. Such great Details. 3:48 L.A. So Badass it takes 4 FOUR Nukes. 5:00 What I loved is what you didn't show and that is the signing of the Dress. 200 years old and they share the one and only dress that have. 5:52 Cousin Luvin its not just for hicks anymore. 7:30 #OkieDokie 9:22 The Real Victim of this show; that stunning dress. 200 years and not a thing wrong with it; Lucy puts it on and bloodstain.
That awkward moment where they tell you to like and subscribe but you've already liked and you're already subscribed 😢
That wholesome moment when we realize our audience freakin’ rocks and they’ve got our backs ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights awwww I didn't deserve all that 😭😭
I binged this whole series when it came out, and I couldn't wait to see your reactions. I just loved this series! As Denise pointed out, the score is incredible and it is perfect throughout the entire series! Great first episode review!
I've been waiting to see which of the react channels I watch would be first to cover Fallout and yay! it was you two! Absolutely loved this show. The retrofuture aesthetic throughout is really well done. Do be sure to watch through the end credits of each episode as some have more content. I hadn't played Fallout but currently messing about in Fallout 76 on the back of watching the series.
Since y'all haven't played the games, here's some factoids that don't get mentioned in the show but that help give some insight (no spoilers for the actual story):
- there are 122 vaults in total confirmed in the lore, every game (except New Vegas) you start in a different vault and there's a reason for you to leave it (finding a loved one, to get something in the vault fixed, to begin reclamation day etc.)
- the reason the world is different from ours is because the transistor was invented much later in their timeline than ours, so most their tech runs on vacuum tubes (like their tv's/computers) or nuclear power (like their cars). It's why at the start you saw a robot in the kitchen with that party, they're quite advanced in their tech
- the (first) bombs dropped in 2077. So while they had the 50s in terms of aesthetics, it was actually the future for us. 219 years later where Lucy, The Ghoul and Maximus's story pick up, making it 2296
- the suits from the Brotherhood of Steel (as well as their aerial vehicles and such) are pre-war, so pre-2077, though are most commonly used by the Brotherhood of Steel only (you can actually use them in game as well)
Hope that helps, and enjoy the ride!
It's not true that every game except New Vegas starts in a vault. In Fallout 2 you are a villager who is a descendant of a vault dweller and you have to find that vault.
In Fallout tactics one of your team mates originates from a vault but you don't.
And about the Vertibirds, the helicopters, were first used by the Enclave but in Fallout 2 the MC steals the vertibird plans from the Enclave base Navarro and gives them to the Brotherhood. And after the MC almost beats the Enclave the Brotherhood expands rapidly between game 2 and 3.
Never played it. Binged this show. Amazing. Ella Purnell is becoming one of my fav actresses. Yellowjackets. Voice actor in Arcane
Yess let's go! The best thing that stands out for me is how the music choices fits each situation so damn well.
I am really glad you are reacting to this series. They really nailed the tone and feel of the Fallout universe.
I grew up with Fallout, played my first one back in 2001 I think and then I bought Fallout 2 CD which I still have today! Huge fan of the fallout franchise and i can say it's amazing how well adapted this series is. You guys are in for a treat! Also love to see the reactions of people that never played the games, so fun and interesting to hear other opinions and the fun game of figure out what's happening and what's the story is!
Welcome to the Wasteland!
Oh hell nahhhh?!? you guys decided to watch Fallout? awesomeeeeee :D
the best thing about this show is that it all makes sense from start to end and that they actually answers your questions :)
Can't wait to see your reaction to last episode :D
Good luck
Can't wait to share the rest with you guys!
So excited to see you watch this first season! Especially being folks who haven't played the games. I've played 4 but grew up watching my brother play some 3 and New Vegas, and last year I watched a let's play of the first two games on PC, so a lot of easter eggs tickled me for sure.
Since I know y'all loved the Die Hard movies, I'm not sure if anyone commented on this yet, but I have a hunch that the one who made Lucy MacLean loved those movies as well. Not spelled the same "McClane" but still gets that feeling.
I am so looking forward to watching all of these reactions after they all come out. Binding is the best!
YEEEES
so glad you're reacting to this!!!!
I'm impressed that this show featured many songs from the Fallout games. 'Crawl out through the fallout', 'I don't want to set the world on fire' etc. One of the best game adaptations ever.
If you loved this, imagine the players of the franchise.
I was so stoked watching this with the missus, stopping every 2 mins to explain all the easter eggs and goodness that totally flies over the head of non-players.
Keep at it!
Frim what i understand a lot of people that work on the show auctally played or play the games and are huge fans, so they wanted to make sure to do it justice.
so glad you're watching this, i'm totally here for it. also, if you decide to react to "the expanse" i'll be there for that too.
just a quick fyi, the opening of this is an on screen depiction of what became known as "the great war" in the fallout universe. it was the culmination of a decade of war with China and lasted only 2 hours. during that 2 hours pretty much the entire surface of the world was changed forever.
As a long time fallout fan this show hit the mark almost 100% to the game. Everything from the mutated animals, the feral ghouls, the stimpacks, the towns, etc etc to the way people talk. The music is the same music you can listen to in game via the pipboy that the vault dwellers have on their wrists. And even the gore, dismemberment is a huge part of the game. I binged the whole season in 1 day and was very impressed with it. And when yall get a chance, you have got to play it.
Love you guys ! You guys deserve a million subscribers!!
As two people who haven't played the game, some things may go over your head, however, the show does a good job of being welcoming to newcomers
That’s great to hear! Will definitely pick up a few of the games after watching this though. They’ve been on my list for the longest time.
The Fallout reaction hype train is real. And I LOVE it! 😀😃😀
I've been playing the Fallout franchise for years and it's truly amazing how the sets/props/wardrobe is so damn spot-on when compared to the game.
Lucy is the voice actress of Jinx in Arcane
Never played the game but I enjoyed the show. You guys are in for a treat!
Fun fact: the cast did a lot of effort to familiarize themselves with the game. While I personally think that's more the writers and directors' job, I still gotta appreciate the respect towards the source material and the fans.
Yesss, listen, I feel like as an actor it's important to at least know the world and story of the game - like the cast of The Last of Us, you can just tell how much of a difference it makes in the performances!
In the opening we only see 4 nukes hit LA. Keep in mind that 77 were launched at Las Vegas, 13 at Salt Lake, 3(?) at Boston, and probably over 100 at D.C.
I didn’t play much Fallout, just enough to understand the references but I freaking loved the show
Never played the game, but totally digged the vibe of this show and binged it all in a oner. Walton Goggins was immense!
I don't remember Walton Goggins from any movie and I saw some where he had some small parts. But here he is the most charismatic guy under the sun. He reminds me of Gunslinger from Stephen King's books.
