Walton Goggins was easily the best part of this show. The Ghoul was an amazing character, and Goggins crushed it like he always does. What a great show. I cannot wait for season 2, and I’m really excited that this show let me get some friends and family members into Fallout!
The thing about Walton Goggins is that he always has charisma that made him a joy to watch regardless of his role, and he plays a lot of scums and villains you are not supposed to like. I'm glad he finally get to be the male lead of an AAA project.

Yes. Until Coop decide to ditched and despised the Vault-Tec when he learned the truth, including his wife. After Coop left, Vault-Tec decided using the iconic Vault Boy
@@FabianHrdz602 I still don't why Cooper had to pay alimony to his Ex Wife. Either that or He made committed immoral act after finding the Truth. But I hope We gonna see more of their background stories in Season 2
It is wild to me that in this live action adaptation of a video game series it manages to pull off making a live action version of an in-universe fictional cartoon character. In this case, Cooper Howard actually being Vault-Tec’s mascot Vault Boy. Which make the series fun to watch as we get to see the mascot character in action throughout the show doing shit that we the players would typically do in playthroughs
Cooper was the original Vault Boy it seems. They replaced him with animated one. In one of the episodes you can see Cooper's old thumbs up photo behind a vault boy.on an add board.
@@generalirons9789 it really doesn't matter if it does or not. no version of it comes with a helmet or gloves. so the wearer's hands and entire head are exposed.
The blue and yellow is also based off of him too, hai wife even says that they had a suit in HIS colors. He's like, the basis of all vault tech branding
Cooper Howard is a really cool character. It feels like he’s a mix of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. I also like how he’s the origin of the Vault Tech mascot 😁👍🏼. In my opinion, the best parts of the show are the pre-war flashbacks. Cooper discovering Vault Techs true intentions is a legendary scene.
@@Former_Employee he has the same calm gentleman energy as him. Plus, Jimmy Stewart is a war veteran, just like Cooper. I threw in John Wayne as well because of the whole Cowboy attitude and how Cooper would want to cut a movie scene because certain actions goes against his character(something that John Wayne has done in the past). Like how he didn’t want to shoot that one bandit in front of the barn.
@@Former_Employee Yeah absolutely Jimmy Stewart. The actor even used Jimmy Stewart as inspiration for the character. They wanted this character to have that old fashioned leading man sense of quiet integrity and competency.
I like how we slowly got these flashbacks to sum up why he shot the vault boy billboard in the face and hated giving a thumbs up. His story came together so beautifully.
Love the fact that vault boy is retro actively retconed be based off a real person, and that person goes on to play a major role in The fallout saga. One of the things I love about this show initially people and places seem disconnected turn out to be interconnected in a deep manner.
Yep amazing writing I was so confused why he wouldn’t do the thumb thing in the first episode. Then I was surprised that he was literally known for it, then after finding out what vault tech really was he became disgusted with himself and that thumbs up
His story really is a tragedy. At the time of the commercial, he really felt like he was representing a righteous company, as well as supporting his wife. Now he knows he helped fuel the corporate machine that instigated nuclear war. And that his wife was more or less an evil person. The man in this commercial would never be as brutal as the ghoul is present day.
Cooper surprised me every time. For example: when he and his wife had an argument i thought he would get violent or shout at her, but he calmed down and apologized and that really made him a favorite
@@mrdoggo3569Yeah, it showed exactly how far he fell. From an exceptionally mature husband and kind father to a cannibalistic murderer selling a girl in exchange for drugs.
I might be wrong, but I don't think that he ever cared that much for Vault-Tec. I think it was mainly because of his wife, because he continued to promote them even after we was cut off by most of Hollywood. This makes him realizing his wife's role in Vault-Tec even more shocking to him, because he trusted his wife a lot and loved her and their daughter more than anything. She couldn't even be honest about her job when he supported her.
So with how things went in season 1, it looks like Cooper gets blacklisted by wife and vault tec. So it leads to first episode of him just doing kid shows and fathers talking bad about him. So Vault Boy gets his design change with blond hair and cartoon look instead of Cooper.
This is best use of non-diegetic music in the series, imo. Country-western song about a man who’s had the wool pulled over his eyes, while he poses like a goof and sincerely thanks the destroyers of the world. It’s just perfect.
@@CharlieBrown20XD6 I made this joke before but if Timothy were to play the Mysterious Stranger, The Ghoul needs to say "I HATE THAT GUY!" right after he disappears.
LOVE their music choice for the background of this scene. "The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time, and all I gotta do is act naturally." It's so on the nose for Cooper's character, but such a perfect inclusion! Gave me goosebumps the first time I watched it.
Its blunt but it isn't intetupts the Scene, in most Poor adaptations the song would either overpower the scene or the Song is barely heard, this is just right, 1:01 Plus the Country song fits the Disealpunk, 50s Americana Parody/Satire that is Fallout, other adaptations would chose really poor songs for the setting and themes too.
When you realize that the real reason that he didn’t wanna do the thumbs up at the birthday party is because he hates Vault-Tec to the point that he doesn’t want to do anything that even somewhat references them
I only just realized that lmao. Some guys at the party even call him a "Pinko," which is just 'Commie," so I guess Vault-Tec must've tarnished his brand in retaliation.
Man the feels. He loved America more than anybody but to the shot callers he wasn't even a person. He was a thing, a 'curious talking animal' to delight the shareholders. After that is done, flush and forget! :D
Remember kids that if the cloud is bigger than your thumb, you’re in the radiation zone and should maybe get out of there unless you want to bask in the Atom bombs warmth in all its glory.
Show really snaps and moves along when Goggin and Purnell are on the screen. A lesson Hollywood can learn from, people like to watch talented charismatic established actors.
This blew my mind and i loved this addition to the lore, i dont think ive met anyone that doesnt like the show yet, and its so rare that a made for tv adaptation EVER works.
Man, I love how the song represents his self hatred. Letting himself get used by vault tec, letting himself becoming the face of the apocalypse, the biggest fool to ever hit the big time. Damn I love this scene.
The series was really well written and produced, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm a fan of Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas - I never liked Bethesdas take on Fallout because the writing was always sub par. The television series however has been excellent.

Oh my god! There's something about these scene which is extremely captivating. From the choice of music, to the acting and to the bitter irony of the fact that he's the original vault boy. Loved this show!
Looking at the intro of the first episode and the rest of the series, we don’t immediately understand why he refused this “thumb”, but in the end we understand that poor fellow Cooper began to realize that he was completely screwed and his wife is one of the maniac not local but global. And when the bombs fall it will be the beginning of a nightmare.
When Lucy asked him who he was and he said "I'm you sweetheart, just give it time". What he is refering to is how he used to be someone like her who had an idealist way of thinking about how the world should be. How those governing over him only had honorable motives for doing him. The moment he heard his wife mentioning about Vault Tech would be the ones to drop the bombs. Is the moment everything started to change for him. He ends up playing the part of a bounty hunter post bomb who while reasonable most of the time is ruthless when he has to be.
I recognized the lyrics of this song as having been in two movies of my childhood: Toy Story and Remember the Titans (although performed by different artist). But now hearing it as a 30-year-old adult I only now I actually get the lyrics for the first time…
Love the way Cooper goes out of his way to be good to every one of his coworkers. He might be a big movie star, but he never acted like he was better than anyone. For the feo, fuerte, y formal, he's helping his costar back up between takes. He knows the writers by name, and thanks everyone on set for the commercials. He even remembers details about Charlie's character when even the actor dismissed it as "some generic indian". Honestly, it just adds to the tragedy of what happens to him.
This was a really clever way to make the iconic thumbs up to be both for measuring nukes and just a fun pose. The community has been wondering which one is the real reason vault-boy does that thumbs up but now we know it's both. Cooper did it because he knew it's a way to measure if you'll have a chance to survive a nuke, and vault-tec adopted it simply because it's a nice pose.
I wonder if naming the Ghoul Cooper was intentional. Kyle MacLachlan’s character in Twin Peaks was named Cooper and also used a thumbs up as his signature. 👍
@@Thedudemannnvault boy wasnt supposed to be blonde, but they changed it to blonde since cooper likely messed up his career to stop vaulttec from using him
Pretty chill guy. I met him IRL. First he told me, he can do his iconic thumbs up for only 5 Dollars. Then he changed his mind and did it for nothing... and another time. Poor guy fainted after that.

The what?
The heck is a m******c
@@Saltasaur Maniac? Too many letters, though. I'm lost, too.
Majestic? Metallic?
What are you talking about 😂
welp guess I'm spoiled
Come to think of it, Walton and his smile are the perfect 1 to 1 casting for Vault Boy. Even the Mii costume in Smash Bros looks like Walton.
Amazing show
Buck Owen’s was perfect for this scene!!
Then he finds out what they are really up to and no longer is the spokesperson thus the vault boy is born
That’s him, John Fallout!
i never played this on PS4, now i understand
That damn smile ❤
Oh man, this was fantastic.
That song 🎵 has that cowboy 🤠 Las Vegas feel in my opinion 📸
The lore the Fallout TV show has is incredible
Perfect casting.
When Lucy asked him who he was and he said "I'm you sweetheart, just give it time". What he is refering to is how he used to be someone like her who had an idealist way of thinking about how the world should be. How those governing over him only had honorable motives for doing him.
The moment he heard his wife mentioning about Vault Tech would be the ones to drop the bombs. Is the moment everything started to change for him. He ends up playing the part of a bounty hunter post bomb who while reasonable most of the time is ruthless when he has to be.
I recognized the lyrics of this song as having been in two movies of my childhood: Toy Story and Remember the Titans (although performed by different artist). But now hearing it as a 30-year-old adult I only now I actually get the lyrics for the first time…
those teeth he borrowed from a horse
Goggins has that Jim Carrey vibe
Goggins is one of the best actors in the industry.
Iconic already
I think the only thing this takes away from is the fact that the thumbs up is to measure the size of the mushroom cloud. Still think it’s cool though.
the soundtrack in this series in the best
Love the way Cooper goes out of his way to be good to every one of his coworkers. He might be a big movie star, but he never acted like he was better than anyone. For the feo, fuerte, y formal, he's helping his costar back up between takes. He knows the writers by name, and thanks everyone on set for the commercials. He even remembers details about Charlie's character when even the actor dismissed it as "some generic indian".
Honestly, it just adds to the tragedy of what happens to him.
When you played the game and know that 99% of the Vaults are just human experiments that the dwellers don't know they're playing in.
0:57 - the new messiah for gamers. Move over Todd Howard.
THEY DID THE THING 🥰
This was a really clever way to make the iconic thumbs up to be both for measuring nukes and just a fun pose. The community has been wondering which one is the real reason vault-boy does that thumbs up but now we know it's both. Cooper did it because he knew it's a way to measure if you'll have a chance to survive a nuke, and vault-tec adopted it simply because it's a nice pose.
hi fallout fan :3
I wonder if naming the Ghoul Cooper was intentional. Kyle MacLachlan’s character in Twin Peaks was named Cooper and also used a thumbs up as his signature. 👍
Therapist: Cowboy Cecil doesn’t exist. He can’t hurt you.
Cowboy Cecil: 🤠
CECEIL STEDMAN
I never expected that the vault boy was the ghoul
Song plays
Yoooo I heard riders in the sky version of that song from Toy Story 2 woodys roundup
So this is the origin of Vault Boy..
I like it!
All his people and friends ghosted him after he did that.
Notice how they look at Barb for reassurance, that b knew from the start
Welcome back, JULIO IGLESIAS!!!
Vault boy after you step on all bear traps in dead money
It would have been even funnier, if for the role his hair would have been dyed blonde. xD
Yeah i was gonna say he’s not even blonde
@@Thedudemannnvault boy wasnt supposed to be blonde, but they changed it to blonde since cooper likely messed up his career to stop vaulttec from using him
@@Thedudemannn Pretty sure the cartoon is a replacement, it's not suppose to be him so the hair doesn't matter.
Pretty chill guy.
I met him IRL.
First he told me, he can do his iconic thumbs up for only 5 Dollars.
Then he changed his mind and did it for nothing... and another time.
Poor guy fainted after that.
this scene gave me a big goofy smile, from cheek to cheek :')
Buck Owens is a plus :D
