Spoiler if not: at the last episode, it is revealed that she co-conspired that vault tech drops the bomb, as the company isn’t profitable without the threat of war and nuclear holocaust kills all competition but those saved in the vaults, thus creating a monopoly, which all coorporations try to achieve because they can increase the profit margins without losing market shares then. seeing how his wife actually contributed to causing it, I think it’s pretty likely that he’s just done with her
As a Fallout fan, this whole intro was catered to me but as soon as the bombs dropped my whole family was intrigued and it made this show for everyone including newcomers.
They really did make this show accessible to everyone! Im not familiar with the games (am playing through now) but the show built the world and characters so fkn well!
Realistically anyone that can see it at all is more than likely dead. This is why I hated Oppenheimer they messed up so many details on the detonation and Christopher Nolan undermined the very thing that makes his movies so special by trying to go backwards on them.
Y'all are completely missing the point. Do you not remember the "atomic avoidance" tips and tricks from the Cold War? Duck and cover for example? The point isn't that it's supposed to be accurate, the point is that it's supposed to give someone somewhat of a "reasonable" thing to consider when facing all but certain doom in the form of nuclear fire if anything to just give you some semblance of security before you're turned to ash. The point of this scene is that Cooper is trying to give his daughter some level of confidence since even though he and the Marines clearly weren't buying that shit as life saving, it might still give his young daughter that same sense of security even if she was already dead.
What's more sad, shocking, impressive, and every feeling you get from this scene is that the main picture chosen to represent fallout is the "thumbs up"
It is the way, let me show u da way🤣 the thumbs up in video games ad a child made me think it was vault dwellers making the best out of a bad situation with a thumbs up, but in the game later on I realized that's the best way to judge how fucked you are.
@@traceswann7054Except she wasn't? Their fights began because Barb didn't want Janey away from the 'Good Vault'. 0% chance Janey is with Coop when Vault-Tec drops their bomb. 0% chance Vault 114 is not even done being built 0% chance House gets caught offguard with the Platinum Chip in another state Vault-Tec had a plan, but even they were caught offguard. My headcanon is PAM predicted Vault-Tec but not seeing a way to stop it, accelerated it so they couldn't outsmart everyone.
@@traceswann7054 no she's not. China dropped the bombs first. You literally meet one of the Chinese sub captains who nuked America in Fallout 4. Vault-Tec didn't start the war, they only made sure it was inevitable.
@@sorrenblitz805 I have never played 4, but you're spot-on. I remember hearing some lore and recall seeing a newspaper clipping during Fallout 3s intro that said the Chinese were starting the entire war.
This is such a sad scene , when the guy said "it's just a fire " I know he must've said this to reassure the poor kid , man imagine being in a situation like this
As a father, they captured this moment one hundred and ten percent on the spot, the reassurance to his kid that it’s only a fire, the shock on his face praying to God it isn’t what it is, and then the next scene, him grabbing his daughter and just running off to anywhere but there. It honestly made me and my wife’s heart pump faster than a raider on ultra jet
Goggins is so underrated. This guy kills every role he's had. He literally makes every production better. I grew up loving fallout. The show was great but I found myself looking forward to his screen time the most. I don't think anyone could have played a better "the ghoul" than him
The show doesn't hint that she went with that plan. It was just one of the ideas they discussed. China was already going to bomb them anyway. Also if she would have made that decision to do it first her daughter and husband wouldn't have been at that party.
@@qvindicator maybe they dropped them a bit earlier? It explains why the girl is with her dad when they were dropped and not with her mom + why some vaults were unfinished.
Bombs were dropped by the Chinese. Vault-t just discussed the probability of them dropping bombs but Chinese was first, that's explains that there are some unfinished vaults and that Mr house didn't get the platinum chip. But I'm sure that when Chinese dropped first bombs, vault t and partners made sure that bombs were falling everywhere
SPOILER ALERT I love this scene, because it complements with the final episode perfectly. His facial expression means one thing: "Damn, they did it, they blew it up."
@FannyBasher9000 yeah I’ve heard a lot of good about them, especially vegas, will definitely try it at some point just not been playing a whole lot of games recently need to get back into it
Watch the Dokumentation and Interview with american navy soldiers Used for one of the first test. Or some about Hiroshima survivors. Thats really scary.
@@StrangeScaryNewEnglandbut what i think they mean by that is that they are digging more into pre war america so we are able to see what happened before the bombs dropped and why they got dropped.
@@StrangeScaryNewEngland thats not really fallout, culture moved on but bethesda has this idea that everything is still in the 50s, the only divergent point from our reality is that fallout earth uses a different form of energy
Goggins yet again displaying some of the most potent acting I have ever seen. The mix of emotions and thoughts running through his face in total silence. Remarkable.
Man, its crazy what a couple hundred years can do to someone. He was a pretty good person, a good dad and husband, and he became a merciless bounty hunter out of necessity for survival. Then again, if I lost everyone I loved, and the whole world went to chaos, id probably do the same.
Nah, his good guy side is still there. It's just buried beneath 200 years of trauma. You see it peak through a few times in the show. Like when he stim packed Dogmeat, when he reminisced about before the bombs dropped with that ghoul that was about to turn feral, or when he rescued Dogmeat from being stuck in that old cooler. He's still ruthless, don't get me wrong, but he's still got some kindness left in him.
@@Otay.fx1 I understand, but Terminator 2 had an accurate depiction, and that movie is still legendary. The Fallout show was still good though, I just close 1 eye over matters like these.
Pretty sure most Fallout fans expected it to be different/not accurate considering how different radiation acts in the universe as compared to Real life.
It's fallout, cooper later turns into a ghoul, a radiation zombie. The game has mini shoulder launched nuclear bombs. Accuracy is not the important factor for the series 😅
I feel compelled to address people telling me accuracy is not important. it does there are parts of a show/game that we can suspend our belief where something is new (Ghouls, laser weapons etc.) But Nuclear weapons are real world things we have in our world. Imagine a fiction where bullets bounce off wood or plastic. Or something ridiculous like you can get radiation from just hearing an explosion. There needs to be some "real" to anchor a viewer and we understand intuitively the impact of certain events. If not the alternative interpretation is that this is Alice in Wonderland and is nothing like our world but makes the gritty human drama less compelling. Again I still love Fallout. I played 1,2,3,NV,4 and I love the series overall. especially NV, I feel so invested in the world. I don't let the thought that the unrealistic way the securitrons hands work bother my enjoyment.😅
This has got to be anothwr one of the best video game adaptations ever made, its impressive how well they managed to capture the feel and mood of fallout
The sheer emotions you see them both go through is amazing he’s in shock and denial which makes sense but if you look at her when he stands up she’s panting and in a state of absolute terror
From the heartfelt discussion, you can feel the crackling shift of humorous banter between these two to the lethal shock on his face when the slow realization dawns on his face, and it kills you. Literally.
I love how he told her not to bother running if it's bigger than your thumb, but Coop being the hero , he still tries to outrun it, I hope his daughter is still alive. I want to see them reunited
From a high of 70,300 active weapons in 1986, as of 2024 there are approximately 3,880 active nuclear warheads and 12,119 total nuclear warheads in the world.
Recent audits indicate that a high fraction of these probably would not go off if “fired in anger” because they did not receive the proper maintenance since the end of the Cold War.
nukes are real bro. but i think lead chips do the opposite, that why i started eating them, my IQ went up 20 points, and i stop drooling on myself, though i was preretarded now im just a normal mouth breather
That's not confirmed, we don't know who dropped the bombs first - they only floated the idea that they were WILLING to if the negotiations didn't go well...considering Barbs daughter is not safe in a Vault and I imagine she knew where she'd be on visitation with her dad...I don't think she dropped the bomb- it's possible someone else in vault tec decided to as she isn't the highest position
my parents knew little to nothing about fallout besides it was just a nuclear fallout game, I wanted to watch the show and I wanted them to watch it with me. now they’re super excited for season 2
As an Aviation Ordnanceman ...I PROMISE, you will not have even remotely enough time to stick your thumb out, and gauge the size of the explosion, let alone turn and run 🤘IYA💣 YAS🤘
Me and my fiance started watching this last night and it's honestly great cause I will laugh at something she don't quite get cause she never played the games and I get to tell her like the stimpack the vault girl uses or the bos or raiders I honestly can't wait to explain what a death claw or supermutant is I hope they don't look like crap I been pretty impressed so far tho with the cgi
As a father I cried during the middle of the scene as my wife and I watched. When we see the 3rd go off we all know there is no point. No parent should see the death of their child.
As a father, felt the same, it left me unsettled for hours after seeing that scene. It was so immersive, I felt the terror and hopelessness of being unable to protect my children from such a horrible thing. It has had me thinking for days after about what could happen in our own world with the escalation of conflict with nuclear powers on the rise.
This show was all about giving writers source material and having them create original stories within a universe and it’s perfect with 6 plus games you really couldn’t fail. Also funny that Cali wants season 2 to be filmed there like brother we going somewhere better now.
A lot of questions here, like why weren’t they in a vault already? Or why wasn’t he tipped off due to his wife being a big part of vault tec? How is muldaver still around? If she’s a leader in the NCR, why was she with raiders? I’m guessing that there’s gonna be a lot of flashback scenes in season two.
SPOILER: Why he wasn't tipped off like the rest, I do not know as it wasn't explained but Moldaver being still alive can be explained by the fact she probably got a cryopod somewhere.
@@loreneltriss Now you should reflect on if your comment was worth typing out, and maybe reflect on your behavior. Good days or bad days, there's no reason to try to be negative to someone you don't know
Really knocked it out of the park with this opening scene. Cooper is such a great character, and Goggins a great actor. Not just diehard fallout fans but people who never even touched the material prior were given a perfect hook. Cooper was a good man 😭 the war killed the heart of an angel ❤
I'm from Russia, but I've played Fallout 2 a lot in my teens. We didn't have this "duck and cover" paranoid culture the US had, so I had no idea about the thumb thing. God, I have to replay this, see what else I missed
Man seeing the full scale of every nuclear explosions really made me feel the scene. People fleeing for their lives while the other took shelter in their own bunker. You can feel the "the end of the world" right there.

That's not confirmed, we don't know who dropped the bombs first - they only floated the idea that they were WILLING to if the negotiations didn't go well...considering Barbs daughter is not safe in a Vault and I imagine she knew where she'd be on visitation with her dad...I don't think she dropped the bomb- it's possible someone else in vault tec decided to as she isn't the highest position
my parents knew little to nothing about fallout besides it was just a nuclear fallout game, I wanted to watch the show and I wanted them to watch it with me. now they’re super excited for season 2
How does bro not notice the explosion immediately
Says it to comfort his daughter 🙁
Agreed. Youd feel the heat or see the initial flash in your peripheral vision at the least.
This scene was done so well. His disbelief and then fear.. and that little girl could absolutely not be a better actress! She deserves an Oscar.
As an Aviation Ordnanceman
...I PROMISE, you will not have even remotely enough time to stick your thumb out, and gauge the size of the explosion, let alone turn and run
🤘IYA💣 YAS🤘
....Its a tv show....

No it's a book series
...but your point still stands 😑🖕

The cloud was bigger than his thumb, and he still bothered to run. Guess those Marines didn't have a child they were responsible for.
Me and my fiance started watching this last night and it's honestly great cause I will laugh at something she don't quite get cause she never played the games and I get to tell her like the stimpack the vault girl uses or the bos or raiders I honestly can't wait to explain what a death claw or supermutant is I hope they don't look like crap I been pretty impressed so far tho with the cgi
Aw that’s cute haha, yeah the cgi nowadays is really good as long as they don’t get lazy with it
That girl looked fucking terrified it built to the scene both her and Walton did such a great job demonstrating the pure fear in that moment
This shit was actually really crazy, because somehow I put myself in their shoes and immersed into the scene as if I was there.
they did a really good job at making it feel real
@@Otay.fx1 how does it feel real when they're looking directly at the nuke the second it goes off. The little girl at least should be blind
The beat short I’ve seen period. Music, Cuts, Everything
that is NOT just a fire
Technically it is a very very angry fire
Yeah, but he was hoping it was
He know that
@DixieCrusader-X-no one wants to hear it ya god damn traitor
@DixieCrusader-X- He was hoping against hope, butvin the next few moment to forms up into a mushroom cloud.
The goosebumps were unreal during that scene, I couldn’t stop smiling
As a father I cried during the middle of the scene as my wife and I watched. When we see the 3rd go off we all know there is no point. No parent should see the death of their child.
As a father, felt the same, it left me unsettled for hours after seeing that scene. It was so immersive, I felt the terror and hopelessness of being unable to protect my children from such a horrible thing.
It has had me thinking for days after about what could happen in our own world with the escalation of conflict with nuclear powers on the rise.
Now the odds of her surviving is extremely low but as we hear from Cooper.And the final episode his family might actually still be alive
@@B1_1_9_7_5 😬 Wife and I only finished Ep. 2 last night.
Just imagine what the families went through at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
that scene broke my fucking heart. I didn't expect it to start off that quickly.
Here comes the sun
An I siad its alright do do little darling
Goosebumps for the love he shows to his daughter and the confusion and fear he portrayed correctly
This show was all about giving writers source material and having them create original stories within a universe and it’s perfect with 6 plus games you really couldn’t fail. Also funny that Cali wants season 2 to be filmed there like brother we going somewhere better now.
Mr. Goggins better get every single award for that reaction only
Should've hired the Oppenheimer guy
God dang he’s such an amazing actor. Good guys. Bad guys. Sad guys. Happy guys. He can play them all. Amazing.
A lot of questions here, like why weren’t they in a vault already? Or why wasn’t he tipped off due to his wife being a big part of vault tec? How is muldaver still around? If she’s a leader in the NCR, why was she with raiders? I’m guessing that there’s gonna be a lot of flashback scenes in season two.
SPOILER:
Why he wasn't tipped off like the rest, I do not know as it wasn't explained but Moldaver being still alive can be explained by the fact she probably got a cryopod somewhere.
@@lovehardt1434 or she could be a clone.
You know..
Gary….
God, I love that he says "If its bigger than your thumb dont bother running" yet him and the others still run like hell
They also say not to look at a nuclear explosion as it will blind you.
Oh my god, really? This is such a realistic show, why didn't they use this knowledge?? *sarcasm*
@@loreneltriss Psycho addict
@@loreneltriss Now you should reflect on if your comment was worth typing out, and maybe reflect on your behavior. Good days or bad days, there's no reason to try to be negative to someone you don't know
Only the initial flash will blind you. If you missed “first light” you’ll be fine as long as you don’t stare too long. Like the eclipse.
That look Goggins made was genuinely great. He's truly a brilliant actor, and I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.
Music in the background?

Such an incredible actor. I hope they delve more into what happened to him n how he lost his humanity, more of the father daughter stuff
is it your thumb or mine?
Really knocked it out of the park with this opening scene. Cooper is such a great character, and Goggins a great actor. Not just diehard fallout fans but people who never even touched the material prior were given a perfect hook. Cooper was a good man 😭 the war killed the heart of an angel ❤
WHATS THE NAME OF THE SOUNDTRACK??!!
OtmehRñ or something like that (itvs a Russian name, by redchinawave

The moment he realized the truth about the fall of the bombs is just amazing acting
I'm from Russia, but I've played Fallout 2 a lot in my teens. We didn't have this "duck and cover" paranoid culture the US had, so I had no idea about the thumb thing. God, I have to replay this, see what else I missed
ironically russia now the only country who threat whole world about the usage of nuclear weapon
Man seeing the full scale of every nuclear explosions really made me feel the scene. People fleeing for their lives while the other took shelter in their own bunker. You can feel the "the end of the world" right there.

This is my favorite scene in the entire first season. This scene gives me the chills every time I see it.
Spoiler:
This scene hits deeper because the ghoul (i like to call him that because i dont remember his name)
Knows very well whos responsible for this
Its cooper the guy who in the beginning of this video
His name is The Ghoul
This soundtrack never fails to chill my spine....especially if edited into a clip correctly
which show is this
Fallout, its based on the games. it’s on Amazon prime or you can probably pirate it
