Filly is a town built out of a landfill. It's not Diamond City.
My favorite gag in the show is how every time Lucy says "Okey dokey," it's applied to something even less palatable than the last time, and you can hear it in her voice.
Ella Purnell's line delivery is fantastic. I only just learned she also is the VA for Jinx... also an amazing performance!
Agreed. Reminded me more megaton minus the nuke.
I liked her line when she helped The Ghoul. "Golden rule, motherfucker". Up until that point, she never cussed. To me, it symbolized her hardening up to the reality of life in the Wasteland while still retaining her core base sense of morality and decency.
@@Kspice9000 Yea I was very surprised he said Diamond City. My initial thought when watching the episode for the first time was: "I remember walking down that staircase in Megaton". Didn't make me think of Diamond City at all
It's not Lucy. It's goosey, goosey McLean.
Can't believe they recreated New Vegas irl so Elvis could do that bit
Wait till you find out they recreated Elvis from New Vegas as well
Im so happy they decided to make radiation into reality after the success of the fallout franchise
@@Teddersifyville too bad they couldn't get the ghoul mechanic working
TBH this show was woke and shows how americans have lost it to woke mind virus
@@BigSunn0hahaha how can you call something woke and then disparage "the woke mind virus" in the same sentence 😂
The ghoul knew about the weakness on the power armor because he was part of the army before becoming an actor. He brings it up to the one dude saying the weak spot cost him friends
yup when he talks with bud askins
@@SnoozeNLooze thanks I was blanking on who it was.
The big issue with the armour piercing bullet is why tf didn't he use it against maximus earlier in the show. He clearly had the bullet back then.
@tntnuke659 Because a) Maximus armor was upgraded by Titus to remove that flaw (it was said several times) b) he have regular bullets, not the type he used against knights.. plus he saw how Maximus was unexperienced and want to do some fun and show him his place)
Remember how he insulted his driving of the suit? He knew he wasn't a genuine threat. I feel like if he did, he could've easily killed him. @@tntnuke659
The turret not fucking the scientist up immediately was the most unrealistic part of the show lmao
That was a nod to the games. But I got to admit that was completely asinine even in video game logic.
That was pretty cringe to be honest.
@@Kasparth not really
That was pretty accurate to Fallout 4 settlement turrets.
They can't hit shit to save their lives.
Nah cause those turrets are the most inconsistent thing in the games. Either they are deadly accurate or they don't hit shit and you barely realize they're there
I like that they showed someone getting stuck in a power armor suit. It was in Fallout 2 as a random encounter where you can free someone stuck.
The same suit that was shown earlier to kick something into a building and obliterate it with ease got stuck in a plank of wood? Lol
@@shmeg8695 I think they meant stuck as in the fusion core got ripped out so the suit stopped working. Maximus was stuck in a non functional suit
Honestly that makes zero sense, there has to be a failsafe that let's you out if power is depleted.
@@Mate397 Power depleted =\= fusion core being ripped out. The fusion core has a very small reserve power that allows you to use the suit and exit from it (think how a phone battery has enough battery to tell you it's dead).
As far as NPCs being ejected when you take a fusion core, that's a gameplay mechanic so you don't softlock yourself if you do it to an essential NPC.
It makes perfect sense
@@Snavels The result is the same no power in the suit. (also there is a point when the phone can't even display having no power) Also it's a fucking fusion core that shit can last for centuries but in the 4th game they are like disposable batteries which is just idiotic Bethesda desgin on display. There should be an analog mechanism to unlock the suit if the core is removed/power is lost, basic failsafe for something that people have to get into. We have that today.
So no it doesn't make sense.
I'm so glad Walton Goggins finally is getting the recognition he deserves.
I can't get enough of that guy. He's absolute gold in everything. I just finished a watch through of Justified and he killed it.
i've loved him ever since the hateful eight, wish he had more roles like that
He was the best part of antman
2 words: The Shield
There will come a pay day hallelujah what a pay day
There will be a payday some day
The Ghoul didn't make Lucy eat the ass jerky. He just made her slice it off for him. Also the sedative used on Lucy was probably over 200 years old and would no longer be as effective.
That's an excellent point. Snip Snip only thinks it has been a week or so since the bombs dropped. So it's not like he's tracking his meds for stuff that's out of date and removing it from his supply. Though I would have thought he'd have used it up previously, we don't have Snip Snip's backstory of when they found him and set up this operation.
It was effective when she tranqed the cousin
Two things you got wrong in the video:
-They went to Filly, not Diamond City. It's explained several times and the sign with the name of the city is also shown several times.
-The Ghoul knew the weak spot on the power armor because he was a marine (pre-war) and he shoots explosive ammunition, that's why it penetrates the armor and then kills them with an explosion.
He got a lot more wrong than that... you weren't paying attention to the show either.
It was a joke. -woosh- the sound of the whole video going over your head
Every time he mentioned Maximus being friends with the guy that beat the shit out of him…
Where you paying attention at all? Because The Ghoul faced Maximus in the first episode and he unloaded about 30 rounds at his power armor(which is the same as the rest of BOS) and that did nothing for he didn't seem to know it during that time and then in the finale he just knows the weakness due to a flashback scene telling us that he wear one during his time as a soldier.
Yeah that is a clear sign that the writers f*cked up.
@@JustTooDamnHonestthe ghoul knew the weaknesses before the finale what are you on about
The whole "thou shalt get distracted by random bs" line was probably my favorite lol
Basically when you play fallout 😂 Always getting sidetracked by random bs side quests while walking somewhere
Very prophetic to the games. I can’t tell you how many side quests I did only to get distracted by reaching a new map marker or hunting down monsters that had nothing to do with the quest
The Ghoul had over 200 years to "get good". He has skills.
He was also a soldier before he was an actor, right?
@@judeconnor-macintyre9874 Yes and he wear a power armor as well and that weakness that he knew about in the finale is something that he should've known in the first episode when he Maximus.
The writers f*cked up on that along with several other parts of this show.
@@JustTooDamnHonest the power armor that Titus owned was upgraded with tempered lining, probably negating the flaw that Cooper mentions and likely tried to take advantage of in their fight. The writers didn't fuck it up, you just didn't follow what was said lmao
@@imitenotbe Probably is not actually and so doing the writers job for them doesn't help them in the fact that Knight Tidus in the end still ended up getting his ass kicked by a Yao Guai in the most embarrassing way possible and that is the least of this show's problems.
@@JustTooDamnHonest titus was a lil bitch? Why is that a hard concept to grasp? You cant be a pathetic person and go out in an explosion saving a thousand babies. And nah, they said it was upgraded. You just being pissy for no reason lol.
The irony of titling a video "little details matter" and then getting so many little details wrong.
Yeah, I'm noticing that.
Thaddeaus and Maximus are friends? Did we watch the same Episode 1, 2, and 3?
Also, he literally showed video of Lucy shooting a couch. But why do I remember it as her shooting an actual guy?
@@jenniferhanses Lucy also didn't eat ass jerky, she harvested it under duress.
To question the vault dwellers desire to integrate the raiders is a very real world view to take. If you put yourself in the ever positive mind frame of a vault dweller this is exactly what you would do.
It's a Fusion Core that powers the power armour suit not a power core.
Red Rocket Corp. is not Fallout4 exclusive
@@advictoriam3106 Regarding the Vault Dwellers' desire to integrate the raiders, yeah, that is an entirely realistic thing for them to consider. They don't know these people, therefore they don't know that they can't reintegrate them. If you look at the things that say Japan and Germany did in WWII and then look at how we treat Japan and Germany today, that entire country to reintegrated back into the world after bloody and dangerous mindsets took over. So the question is really going to be how one could attempt that, not if they should.
They're also not going to be in favor of murdering people. It's not like they have an executioner or even a jail really set up down there.
just like the tv show
Fun fact: there’s an Indiana jones Easter in new Vegas. You find a skeleton in a fridge wearing the Indiana jones hat
in New Vegas Mr House specifies that if he just had another 20 hours before the bombs dropped, the platinum chip would have been delivered and he could have saved all of vegas. He had been preparing for the bombs for 15+ years and if the bombs had dropped just a day later everything would have been different for New Vegas. He has been waiting 200 years to get the Platinum Chip and complete his plan to protect vegas for the foreseeable future
Yes and he cemented the lower levels of his vault because it was full of buds buds just like 31. He knew what was happening and he killed their plan.
@@Maewolf Um, no? Bud was only in charge of his 3 interconnected vaults. Bud's buds are *only* in vault 31.
@@Wromeo13from what we’ve seen so far. We don’t know that for sure I think until we get more seasons.
Right so just implying house worked with a vault when the dude fucking hated them is a bit... lol @@youngrootvalso he has a bunker, not a vault, and only used vault-tech to his own means
@@The-Doctor6969 oh I was replying to the Bud’s Buds only being in Vault 31 thing. I’m aware that Mr. House was doing his own thing and didn’t work with Vault Tec.
Let's be honest this is a million times better then what the fuck was the halo show
Bar's pretty low there, friend.
@@bryanadkins6776Hence the words "A million times better" and not "10 times better"
@@bryanadkins6776not really considering both series has a lot of time and care put into them and especially into their lore their severeals hours on both sides and this is referring about the games and then comparing it to the shows or movies yeah you can tell people gave a fuck about what they were doing
@@mrplayfulshade1038 10, 100000000 or 1000000000^1000000000 times 0 is still zero. So yeah. He is right by saying the bar is low af.
You can't even use the two names in the same sentence without blazing into frames. Only thing u can compare the halo "show" to, is a steaming pile of shit. Spoiler. The pile has way more value.
Yes.
Cooper was a sharpshooter not to mention he’s had over 200 years of practice. If you’re not top of your game after 200 years, wtf have you even been doing!? 😂
They shot in 35mm. They shot the whole show on fucking film! Even big buget studio films (i’m looking at you the holdovers) end up not doing it for ease of post production and general lack of problems when shot on digital.
You start out as a tribal in the wasteland in Fallout 2, so Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas you don't start off in a vault.
The depressing part is that the show's writers have almost certainly never played Fallout 2.
That settlement that Lucy went wasn’t diamond city, since the settlement is located in the forest while diamond city is located in the city.🐱
and you know, and the fact that Boston and LA are about 3,000 miles away,
Diamond City is also literally Fenway Park lol
Heard someone call it Megaton
They call it "Filly" in the show
It’s Filly. It’s an original location lmao.
On of my favorite ways that the show integrated the games is when Lucy is introduced talking about her strengths for why she should be selected for marriage/reproduction. It's a clever way to incorporate stat selection players do at the beginning of each game in a natural, story driven way.
27:19 Not to be a 🤓 but in one of the flashbacks, Walten’s character talks to the designer of the power armour and mentions the flaw in its design which got a lot of his unit killed, so he was just taking advantage of that weak spot. Still sucks they nerfed it, but I’m glad they at least set it up beforehand.
Thaddeus isn't Maximus' friend...its literally the opposite in that Thaddeus bullied Maximus and beat the shit out of him with his friends.
Because he was also beat on before it was Maximus turn. they just beat the new guy. He said he didn’t hate him and it wasn’t personal.
@@WishlockPSNyes but max only learns that later where he then stops being mean to him until the reveal scene.
@@WishlockPSN That still doesn't make them friends... is your brain okay?
@@WishlockPSN They only get along for a short time because Thaddeus doesn't know who he is inside the power armor. They were never friends.
He was using the term friend very loosely. Don't go all semantics.
The 'why does Lucy show up at Diamond City' thing is absolutely just you. The town is called Filly. Towns like Filly and Diamond City use a central main building to generate and distribute power...that'd be the only similarity between them.
Exactly, and id add as the Fallout universe grows beyond just factions and towards a more complex society (like the series would probably explore) you would see more settlements exactly like Filly and Diamond City
@@thegoodone4104 You think the show is going to explore a more complex society? They literally destroyed the only complex society ever established in the wasteland, the NCR, entirely in the show. They're not interested in complex societies, just like the Bethesda games aren't. They want to have and keep the Mad Max style dilapidated, rusty, dirty scrap heap aesthetic forever because they think that's what makes fallout fallout.
@@gownerjonesthey didn’t “literally destroy” the NCR 😭
@@user-yd2uv3xi2g Yes they did? Shady Sands was nuked completely out of existence and it is shown in the show that the NCR is reduced to a tiny raider outfit now.
Lucy went front Santa monica all the way to boston🙈
I have never played Fallout but have learned a lot about it from videos on TH-cam and I still loved this series! My husband HAS played Fallout and he also loved the show
Lucy didn't eat the jerky. He just made her cut it.
You didn't hear the ten thousand times the name of the city, Filly, is said in the show? You thought when they say "hyuck I'mma be headin for Filly", and the next scene, they're in Filly, they somehow teleported to the other freaking coast to be in Diamond City? Elvis man, are you okay?
Or when the ghouls tells the governor he shot up a town called filly lol.
Or the sign that said “Filly”
@@billster7424 or when the diaper guy told Lucy the name of the town AKA Filly
This is par for the course with Elvis. every single video of him reviewing a movie or show is littered with him missing major plot points or just being flat out wrong. He’s just kinda dumb lol
Tbf at first I was confused that they were going from LA to Philadelphia within the space of a single episode lol. The sign cleared up my confusion
I think Maximus has low intelligence. His dialogue about sex sounds a lot like the dumb dialogue you get in the original Fallout games and New Vegas if you have an INT of 3 or lower.
Also, Shady Sands is near Death Valley or Yosemite in the games. They moved it to near LA in the show, which is about 300 miles away.
Maximus is an Idiot Savant
NCR started franchising in this universe, I guess
@@billster7424 NCR is very large in the games... about a million people so there should be people all over the place.
The NCR losing 1 city and suddenly being completely gone from the region that the show takes places feels like a deliberate F you. Where are the reinforcement from the hub , vault city , junktown , Necropollis , etc ? They had a whole army with recon snipers , heavy units that used power armour , infantry , vertibirds. And if the NCR is still around in other areas then why didn't the NCR remnants in the show try to regroup with the rest of the army ?
Super weird how you assume a black character has low intelligence 😬
Matt Berry is a king. I did not know he was in this show. I will now commence watching.
27:14 Because Howard used to served in the army. That's why he knows Power Armor's weak spot.
Yup it's almost like nobody watched the pre fallout flashbacks 🤦🏻
so did the first members of the brotherhood of steel, they would know about the weak spot as well so why not try to not try to patch it in the T60?
I thought I was gonna despise Norm at first, but he ended up being one of my favorite parts of the show.
Completely agree.
Yeah though I got sick of seeing him close to tears everytime he's on screen
I'm calling it. He's gonna be the next overseer
Yep same!
The people that just knew the show was going to be terrible and were totally right in their own head think norm is the worst.
“Why did Lucy arrive at Diamond city?”
Me looking at the lack of Fenway Park or Boston: Huh?
They say multiple times that the town is called filly, I think they say it like ten times in the episode.
He also says that fallout 4 takes place in New England, which is not, it’s in Boston
@@onex9573 ...Who wants to tell him?
@@blizzardgaming7070unfortunately elvis is known for reviewing movies and not paying attention whatsoever. He will make a 40 minute video criticizing a movie for all the wrong reasons lol. He also got caught using other peoples written reviews as his own words in videos. Yikes. Just a bad content creator
Yea I was a little confused in most of this video, like was he paying attention lol. He called thaddeus his friend from before, like what?
I've never played a fallout game but I absolutely love this series as a fan of apocalyptic movies
i remember reading a headcanon that says the reason that the ghoul still uses his old outfit is because that his daughter saw him with the same outfit in the intro so it will make her remember who he is just by the outfit.
the ghoul is also a veteran, so he has expert military training on top of 200+ years of experience. I can see his being able to take out the power armor in one shot.
Also doesn't he have a monologue about the weakness of the armour the literal moment before he shoots the weak spot.
I just wish it was the eyes instead
@@bigjimbo3917 in some games they explain that the eyes on the helmet are reinforced too
Here is the thing: 1st, why didn't the Bos shoot him while he was just talking on the stairs.
2nd how the fuck could he see in pitch black ?
3rd WHY didn't the BOS just USE THE HEAD LIGHTS TO SEE HIM ?
Legit the only reason he survived is bc tge writers decided to make everyone else in that rook 10x dumber
@@popepisspot1675 Let me tell you a true story.
In WWII 3 German tanks came upon 1 US soldier standing in the middle of the road with a bazooka. The soldier blows up 1 tank with the bazooka and then he just stands there. The other 2 tanks sit there for a couple of minutes and then they back away from the puny squishy human who is out of ammo.
Why did they do that?
Because they didn't believe it could be just one guy standing there, even though it actually was. Because it's not a normal thing to just stare down tanks when you've got nothing left. Instead, they thought it was all a trap. There had to be a catch somewhere.
So why didn't the BoS just attack the Ghoul? Because they didn't know what he had planned. And they were in power armor, so why should they be scared until he takes out the first guy? And then when he proves he can shoot out the armor, that's terrifying. Their tanks are no longer tanks, and they just want to get out of there.
Fun fact, The Platinum chip was made the day before the bombs dropped and were to be delivered that day but the bombs fell first.
Cooper didnt make Lucy eat the ass jerky. He made her make it. It was for him to eat
Both me and my dad had not played fallout games and we both liked the show and it got me to start playing fallout now
The Ghoul knows the weaknesses of power armour because he fought in a war in it before the bombs that we saw dropped so he knew to cut the hydraulic cord on Maxs armour so he couldnt use his jet pack things ( idk the word lol ) on his feet and why he shot that specific location on the armour. I do think the yellow liquid is radaway and ghouls take it in this world and absolutely need it if they wanna stay conscious.
Based off the vial it’s in Im pretty sure it’s Rad-X, the radiation resistance drug in the games
@@billster7424 I thought it could've been either one lol
It might be but i feel like it's probably something new. We'll probably see in season 2 tho
@@rigel9228 I mean it's not exactly the first time we've seen a ghoul take drugs to either cope with the ghoulification or slow it down, Hancock ( Fallout 4 ) took Jet.
@@voidvortex6807 The entire reason why Hancock became a Ghoul in the first place was because he took some kind of experimental drug. Maybe it's something like that then...
I think you need to watch the series again. The Ghoul never invited her to eat human flesh, only to prepare it. And there is no indication that she did
She did drink that heavily irradiated water though which is like what made her sick
Also all the other things he messed up on like saying Thaddeus and Maximus were friends before, and that the ghoul knowing the armor weak spots was out of nowhere. But the ghoul knew because he was in the millitary with first hand experience seeing the weaknesses of power armor
@@patrickwilliamson29 Yes but the dude is making unfounded assumptions... that is what most of the people that were angry about the "lore" were also doing.
@@Maddienator also him saying lucy went to diamond city when they said multiple times in the show they were going to Filly?
@@ClaveBBY also, he even messed up the town it looks like. Filly looks almost exactly like Megaton from Fallout 3, not Diamond City which is Fenway Park in Boston
the Vault Tec rep from the opening of Fallout 4 is also a non feral ghoul 210 years after the bombs dropped
One of the Ghoul Vendors in Fallout 4 actually talks about the liquid that stops you from going feral.
Hancock also hints at something when you are building affinity with him
What liquid is that? Please tell me for ll I keep hearing is that those vials that The Ghoul injects where never in the games and the Ghoul Child never really explained how he has not gone feral while staying in a box for a long time.
@@JustTooDamnHonestthey don't explain, they never explain how ghouls don't turn feral, some theorize that by stimulating your mental activities, the show came up with that líquid that some say is Radaway or Rad-X, ghouls are kind of a huge Mystery in the series
@@JustTooDamnHonest The female vendor in Goodneighbor talks about it.
@@lucasazevedo1928 The female vendor in Goodneighbor talks about it.

so you think she is hot... you little simp
This show is so woke they even made Dog Meat female.
(That was sarcasm)
They also race-swapped Dogmeat, he’s a German Shepherd IRL and they made him a Belgian Malinois.
To think this is funny you have to be really slow and a really ignorant NPC.
@@billster7424 I thought i was the only one to notice ha, they are immaculate once trained.
1. Diamond City is modeled after boston not really new england
2. all the cars in the tv show and games are unique they actually run on nuclear material hence why coolant and fuel prices were getting so insane so while they look like 50's cars they are not at all
Americans not knowing their own geography, SMH. New England is a northeastern region of the United States comprising the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts.
The wiki page for New England literally says that Boston is the largest city in New England. Fact check your crappy public school education before you go footnoting others.
"The Fall of Shady Sands" would be like discovering there was a "Fall of Washington D.C." and then the US went on to invade Europe. Can't exactly have been much of a "fall" if they went on to invade the Mojave, stretching their resources as thin as possible. We also heard in New Vegas, that things are pretty good back in NCR, they just don't have the manpower or resources to be colonizing new territory. Also, I think the location of Shady Sands is what people are most confused/annoyed about, because it's in LA, where the Angel's Boneyard is supposed to be. While Shady Sands moved between Fallout 1 & 2, it certainly wasn't in LA. It was a post-war settlement, so there shouldn't be any pre-war buildings.
Hell no they aren't.
Most NCR npcs tell you that the main reason they are in the Mojave to begin with is because things are tough at home. They are running out of energy and food, which is their main mission in the Mojave. Securing the Hoover Dam to guarantee a steady energy source, and further develop their crops tech at Camp MacCarran to find a way to grow food with little to no water (the quest that involves the research of vault 22).
Ranger Hanlon at camp golf even tells you that the NCR is stretched way too thin, and one of the recruits that has trouble adapting (from the quest where you teach them team cohesion), tells you that he got enlisted because food was so tight back at Shady sands, that his family couldn't afford to feed everyone.
The rangers guarding the checkpoint that leads to the I-15, which in turn, connects the Mojave to California, tell you that caravans with resources passing to and fro' are more and more scarce as well.
@@voltus20 Weirdly, nothing about the fucking capital being nuked, weird that they'd leave that out. Weird especially that none of the legionaries would mention that, or House?
@@ijon-y4549 because it doesn't happen until after the events of New Vegas. Jesus, there's a literal clip in this video of Todd Howard explaining that the nuking happens after New Vegas.

the scene when Max is fighting the raiders, makes more sense when you realize Max has high Luck points and the raiders were probably low in intelligence
You do know that game logic doesn't always work in a TV show setting right? I get what they are trying to do with that. But it breaks the immersion when you are make your characters sound like NPCs.
@@JustTooDamnHonestholy fuck you’re annoying
@@JustTooDamnHonest this show is a continuation of the fallout story, just told in a different style of media. it is very much suppose to use video game logic..
@@wolflower666 Not really for the difference is that one is a video game and so it uses video game mechanics.

The organ harvesters guys were all drugged up so that’s why they didn’t try to convince Lucy not to let out the ghouls
They were so drugged they couldn't tell her, that they will be attacked by ferals, but they still managed to kill them. Well, cos Lucy needed to be in safety to experience the Martha ghoul scene. Flawless logic, great writing.
…didn’t they literally tell her not to but she forced them to at gunpoint? Or, well, acidpoint
@@iheartblock3792yep.
I think of it as they just accepted Lucy's threat and charisma check.
Since Lucy immediately shot between them after they tried to explain with "wait. Lady, you don't wanna-"

My favorite episode was the other random vault. I liked how they twisted the cliche of those crazy characters, i thought it was pretty funny and wholesome. You are banished to surface.
I too was a wife watching in shock. It is funny looking back. Also very good show!
Watching this while patrolling the Mojave brings me much joy.
Patrolling the mojave makes you wish for a season 2
I thought Max was going to have to explain to the Brotherhood of Steel why he was wearing Titus' armor. I was thinking of the best fabricated story he could use. "We heard sounds coming from a cave when a bear attacked Thaddeus out of nowhere. He heroic pushed me to the side, saving my life. And fought the great monster. He soon died after killing the beast. But he told me to take his armor and finish the quest." But sometime later Elder Cleric Quintus asked how Thaddeus died. I think he said he died a coward. That was it. No explanation beyond that.
yea maximus said titus died running and the brotherhood being culty as is and not knowing a yao gui attack happened would assume titus was trying to steal the power armor or something
It's so frustrating to listen to Maximus recall the events that got him his suit because he always does it in the most incriminating way possible. It's like he's his own prosecutor.
I'm also sick of people using "low intelligence" to justify everything.
@@wisemage0 He isn't the only one. The Ghoul absolutely takes credit for crimes he didn't do. Like the people/ghoul organ harvesting building. "Yep. I killed them all."

Fun fact: They did, in fact, develop the microchip in the fallout universe. However, it was a relatively new invention that occurred only a couple decades prior to the bombs falling, sometime in the mid 21st century, rather than in the mid 20th century like real life.
Robco computers actually use microchips, as does the pipboy. The issue is not that microchips don't exist, it's that vacuum tube technology was far more advanced due to being used and improved on for nearly a century before the resistor and semiconductor was invented, causing it to be much more preferable to use as a technology than the rudimentary microchip technology. House was basically the only one furthering the technology and using them in Robco products - alongside vacuum tubes, of course.
Can we guys please stop asking about every scene that happens because of the plot? Sure some stuff can be executed differently in writing, but stuff like "Why didn't he give her more sedatives so she doesn't wake up", would basically mean that this would be the end of the story if he did. Sometimes shit just happens, sometimes shit just conveniently happens even irl in your favor too. If people asked all these things about plot constantly and they were heard out, then no story ever happens.
The entire premise of new vegas is someone getting shot in the head and living, theres always been this suspension of belief and just accepting that some characters just cant die

Honestly, I feel like she's dead and would be a bit shitty if they tried to retcon her in there
@@patrickwilliamson29I think that’ll be interesting, seeing him learn and try to cope with that. I hope that’s where his character goes, instead of a nonsense “find his obviously dear daughter” mystery

@@thomgizzizmajority of major characters in this show are somehow pre war for some reason, also he had his daughter with him when the bombs fell, so i laughed out loud when he asked where his genocidal wife who he hated and his daughter who was with him watching nukes go offf so close they both should have been killt.
@@thomgizziz some ppl r saying she could be a ghoul just like him, surviving on her own. So maybe they could meet back up one day idk
There have always been ghouls who have lived for hundreds of years, even ghouls who lived since before the war
I prefer my satires to be created by intelligent and caring people, not teenagers.
I loved Ella's explanation of lucy " ned flanders in apocalypse "
It kinda works until one realizes that Ned Flanders is absolutely jacked and extremely well armed.
The Ghoul being able to shoot the Power Armor spots I thought was like he had saved up his critical chance, like you can do in Fallout 4, and used it then.
That's a cool thought. That he had the perk where you can "bank" criticals, so he had a bunch saved up for the bit power armor fight.
I watched Fallout with my dad. He went into it not knowing anything about fallout and I only knew the basic details and I'm glad to say that we both had a blast. I really hope season 2 is green-lit
Of course it's green lit, it's junk food television
@@drekwilliamton5830uh what? i think it’s pretty well made and stands alone as a good television show….
@@bmkbbk123 it's filled with plot holes and convenient excuses to keep the plot moving. If you stop to actually think about the show at all, it all falls apart. I can give you plenty of examples
@@bmkbbk123
How did the raiders lose on their assault on the vault? They had chems and were fully armed, and have experience against a group of people who's only idea of violence is having a stern conversation. Why did the (forget her name) chick who led the bandits and cold fusion w/e, why did she let the vault dwellers go after making Hank choose between her and the others...
why did the robot fix Lucy's finger if he was just going to disembowel her? Righto. Neat scene tho...? 😐
Why did Maximus betray the Brotherhood for Lucy, he was saved by the Brotherhood and revered them. He should be loyal to a tee, makes no sense. Why didn't Thaddeus just open Maximus' face shield, shoot him and take the power armor? His leg was crushed. Whatever, just another convenient thing for Maximus to have the power armor
How did the Ghoul survive the punch from the power armor, he would have a hole punched through him or fucking exploded. But oooh goes flying instead.
The show just doesn't make sense. I could go on and on but I'm pretty sure thinking anymore about this show will give you brainrot
@bmkbbk123 yeah it's like a 6/10 max. TONS of plot holes and shoehorning.
They weren't friends, Thaddeus was Maximus' bully.
The fact Lucy's dad didn't immediately know who muldavre is is the biggest "fuck you, dont think" iv ever seen in any show/movie..
Well it had been 20 years for him and she was much more weathered with a different hair style and lacking her glasses. Also I don't think they were shown to meet earlier.
There is a lot of "fuck you" moments especially when it comes to audience's intelligence.
Lucy's "okay, let's do it!" attitude is so similar to the attitude of the player in the games. It works very well.
Depends on which games you are talking about. If it's the badly written Bethesda ones then sure.
@CountCocofang what a comment considering he is talking about the show which is, as he mentioned, based off the Bethesda games. So obviously that's what I'm talking about.
This is not a good thing, though. The player in a role playing game is not supposed to have universal character traits associated with it. If an RPG does that, it's less of an RPG for it. The reason why the Courier in New Vegas can't be said to have a positive attitude is because the Courier is anyone you want him / her to be. It's a role playing character, it can be happy or sad, positive or negative. The fact that Fallouts 3 and 4 forced a predefined character on you is a bad thing, not a good one.
@@CountCocofangit’s the attitude I got from the vault dweller the first half of the first game
@@gownerjones I didn’t play fallout 3 as a positive attitude character. I remember playing him as a jerk
About the power armor weakness, they brought it up twice, once in the past between cooper and bud then he even questions whether they fixed the weakness in the suits the brotherhood had. The ghoul drug could easily have been created in the time between fallout 4 and this show.
Hancock in Fallout 4 talks about taking a drug that turned him into a ghoul.
@@Icetray1911 I think thats what the shady merchant dude sold Thaddeus. It would explain the whole arrow in the neck.
@@Icetray1911there's actually a quest with a mobster turned ghoul.
It's Nick Valentines personal one if I'm not mistaken. Since you follow his memories around to different police stations trying to hunt him down.
@@jedimike7622oh 100%.
Even Maximus Even proposes that notion immediately after seeing the regeneration.
@@jedimike7622also explains the utterly fucked up foot.
I would like them explain fixing broken limbs from doctors.or seeing a auto doc in action.
The Turret part was hilarious, must have been one of the Turrets we can build to defend our Base in FO4 lol
I haven't even heard about Fallout before this show came out. When my boyfriend told me that it's based on a game I wasn't really eager to watch it. I'm so glad I did though. It was the best show I watched in months. It was so satisfying to watch everything coming together, especially because I had no knowledge about this universe or plot of the game. I loved it so much, I recommended it to everybody I know. Can't wait for season 2!
All the power armor scenes highlight the flaws of power armor. You aren't a walking tank. You're just more protected against bullets. You're a can of tuna when you're up against a 1000lb irradiated bear.
But then the irradiated bear gets merced by some shmuck with a single shot from the pistol
@@shadowantix8018 he shot a 1000lb irradiated bear with a 10mm pistol that can kill normal 800lb bears yes
@@shadowantix8018 little less important but it was 2 shots to the head
"you aren't a walking tank"
quote from guy who's never played the games
@@gruzi. Nuh uh I have 2-76
The flaws in the power armor gets mentioned in episode 4 or 5 when Coop is talking to Bud Askins, who was in charge of rolling out the T-45 power armor for the Battle of Anchorage. Bud said the structural flaws were a pain in the ass, but they sure looked great. To which Cooper replied, "I was in Anchorage, and those flaws got a lot of good men and women killed," which Bud didn't have a reply for and kinda wanders off to somewhere less uncomfortable.
THANK YOU I Don't know why people missed these details
@@Maewolfalso how can you miss his monologue about the wielding issue in the suit just before he shots that spot.
The Ghoul shot a specific spot _with a conspicuously custom round_ which had a delayed explosion. If you're getting bent out of shape over some kind of lore retcon, at least understand that this isn't something that anyone else is going to suddenly be capable of doing.
The reason Goul was able to shoot that single part of the armor was because he used/repaired the same model during the war. Also, he has had 200 years of marksman practice on top of doing trick-shots at birthday parties before the bombs, even dropped! He developed natural V.A.T.S by this point. Even with getting a crit hit on the gulper prior in the show.
27:15 to be fair the ghoul isn’t just hitting a “weak point” in the armor he’s hitting a weak point in the armor with what looks like armor penetrating ammo (I mean look at the solid steel/tungsten bullet in the cartridge he loads up before he shoots the Knight)
that city wasn’t diamond city, it was called filly
With an f
@@TopShagger999 oops 💀
It was a joke, because it looks similar... holy crap.
@@ThisisCitrus if it was a joke then it was delivered VERY poorly lmfao
@@ThisisCitrus yeah kind of a shit joke
The ghoul isn't wearing the same clothes....
I feel like a lot of the “plot armor” is purposeful to showcase the “character builds”. Lucy clearly has high charisma and mid intelligence. Norman is high perception, high intelligence, high agility. Maximus definitely has luck (idiot savant max). Ghoul is basically a maxed out character build.
No, a lot of the plot armor is just plot armor... even the best shows these days have it because writers just don't care quite that much.
@@thomgizziz The main characters need _some_ plot armor tho, otherwhise they would most likely just die in a more "realistic" situation.
@@rigel9228 I'm sorry you think so poorly of writing. Good writers make it so their characters do not have plot armour because they write it in a way to make sense.
I get why they did it that way. But there is a reason why using video game logic doesn't work in a TV show setting for your characters are acting like NPCs rather then actual characters.
@@JustTooDamnHonest Practically every other video game adaptation got heavily and justifiably criticised for not at all being like the videogame it's based on and not giving a damn about the source material. Just look at the Halo show.
At least the Fallout TV show isn't ashamed of it's nature...
Rico reclaims his title as one of the best side characters ever
The yellow liquid is rad-away you see it pumping into the ghoul's coffin in his intro.
I seriously don't know how he doesn't know this
I’m not a “Fallout” Fan. But I throughly enjoyed this Show. Can’t wait for “Season 2”.
19:58 - I mean, it varies from person to person. If you take out a raider's fusion core, they leave the power armor, but if *you* are wearing power armor and the fusion core runs out of power, you can walk around as if you were overencumbered if I recall correctly.
"It's right from the games". No, it's from A game. It's just Fallout 4 turned into a TV show and it's got less lore continuity than Todd Howard's choice in hair mousse.
This. I honestly don't understand how someone can watch this show and not see all the glaring inconsistencies, especially as a self-proclaimed fallout fan. But what's even worse is this kind of video where he does point out all the inconsistencies and huge plot points, as jokes and gaffs, then claims the show is so super duper lore accurate. "The show is super cool and accurate... Hahahha but did you see how the power armor won't open without a fusion core? Did you see how the ghouls can snort piss to stay sane forever? Did you see the power armor can fly? ..."
@@gownerjones Yeah, he contradicts himself several times on the accuracy of the show but is impressed because the set designers got the door buttons right.
@@dimlightbulb10 I mean it's impressive stuff that they managed to turn already detailed 3d models into props (sarcasm).
Getting a beer at the Pioneer Saloon irl was easily top five life moments of all time
couldnt even go 5 minutes without picking a side hahahah
They never spell it out in the show but literal Fridge Logic/Fridge Horror: I imagine the organ harvesters keep the ghouls because they can regrow any organs that are harvested over and over so long as they don't let them die. _That's why The Ghoul was buried - it's mentioned but not dwelled on that someone dug him up every couple of years to take some pieces. Likely to sell for money._ Which may also explain why the robot puts Lucy's finger back on - he's also doing routine maintenance since ghouls _can_ die but only if they get grievously mangled. Maybe they can irradiate subjects to keep them as ghouls, so they weren't going to kill Lucy - they were going to take her liver and her kidneys then put her in a fridge.
I thought The Ghoul was dug up to do mercenary work, since he’s so skilled? That was the implication to me
@@iheartblock3792Yeah he was the dudes who dug him wanted him to kill the doctor to take the cold fusion thing
New Elvis just dropped my night is complete
So…my husband is a big time collector. He hyped it up for a long time and I’ve become obsessed. I’m creating custom vaulttec furniture for his collection/office. I’m also throwing a fallout themed party for my son’s first birthday. The fallout hype just makes this all easier
I think Elvis is a little confused, Thaddeus wasn't Max's friend, they were enemies. And the plot armor he's complaining so much about, remember that it's Fallout, a universe where you survived a point blank headshot from a checkered coat guy who leaves you dying in the shallow grave where flesh eating bloat flies lurk nearby.
Something to remember: you also don't leave a Vault in Fallout 2, in case someone here didn't mention (I bet someone did, tho).
To be fair The Ghoul had 200 years worth of time to train his Shooting skill. For all we know he could have 100 Small Guns and maybe 100 Explosives by the time we met him.
8:20 okay as someone who was in the military, yeah...... that's real.... we had a guy in basic training get off duty and when the next gaurd took over the dude was caught jekring it in in front of his locker.... in the barracks bay ( 60 people in an open room) and it happens when people are on deployment as well. it is 100% actually realistic to real life.
The ghoul shooting the weak point of the power armor is a reference to the Chinese invasion of Alaska. It's documented that the some of the power armor had trouble in Alaska during the battles.
the way he survived in the fridge reminded me of the ghoul kid in the fridge in fallout 4 XD
Except he became a ghoul, but Maximus somehow still a human
My guess is since he wasnt sealed in he didnt absorb as much radiation, thus preventing raisinification@L16htW4rr10r
Except they've retconned their lore yet again cos ghouls need to eat in FO3
@@L16htW4rr10r Max left the fridge, Billie was stuck there for 200+ years… also it’s a world with giant axolotls with fingers in their throats, little green men from Mars type aliens, two headed synthetic/robotic cows and serums to regrow your feet, I’m sure it’s fine if the science doesn’t line up with our world 1:1
Easy 850 caps for billy
The town (Tilly? Filly?) is in fact not diamond city, and while it does have some similar features it also completely lacks the surrounding baseball stadium, has a different name and is in a completely different location. Not sure how you'd mix that up tbh

Never played Fallout. After i watch the show i went and bought Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4. And i love it.
You bought all the games except the 2 that started it all? Big shame on you.
@@gordordf1091 turn base games not my cup of tea. I try play Fallout 1 since o got it free on GOG but not my style.
Aaaand yes Mr house in the game cements the lower levels of 21 to not let vault tech use its managers they put in there like they did in 31
My dad and me watched the show and he had no knowledge of fall out.And you actually liked it now.We're just waiting for season 2.Hope that thing comes out as just as good or better than the first season
For those of you who don't know (like him) that special yellow liquid is Radaway.
Yes Radaway has been in the franchise for a long time.
And no it hasn't been established (until now) that ghouls use Radaway to inhibit going feral.
Where did you hear this out of curiosity?
I thought it was Rad-X though, because it’s in the small glass bottle that Rad-Xs are in, not Radaway. Radaway also takes away your radiation while Rad-X prevents you from getting more of it, all ghouls turn feral, it’s about slowing the clock
@@billster7424Do they ever directly state that ghouls will turn feral. I always interpreted it as they may or may not. Not that it was a guarantee at some point. Havent played much of the older games so may not have all the lore but thought that was how ferals worked.
Dude you don't get to just make crap up. We dont know what it is and neither do you.
Is that ever even stated in the show...?
I still love how Lucy has Fallout 3's main quest and the Ghoul has Fallout 4's main quest
15:25 when they mentioned the "golden rule" my head immediately went to "it's not gay if it's in a threeway" 😅😂
people complaining about the brotherhood of steel being culty have obviously not played fallout 1 or 2 because they very much were very culty in those games. While a lot of it may not make sense, I think the show is a very fun watch in general. And it feels like Fallout which is so important for stuff like this
It was excellent.
I work in the film industry and people forget or simply aren’t aware of how much work, passion and commitment goes into making a cohesive production like this.
I like how 12:29 he doesn't finish explaining why he likes her catch phrase 😂
This show is going to go the way of Madelorian and I'm gonna be laughing
The key jangling is strong with this one.
