EARLY ACCESS: Fallout 1x8 (Finale) FULL REACTION
Added 2024-05-27 17:50:00 +0000 UTCThis show was absolutely amazing! Everything came together perfectly. Huge kudos to the cast and crew for bringing this to life. We all know that adaptations of games into TV or movies often fall short, but with "The Last of Us" and "Fallout" setting the standard, there’s hope for future adaptations. Now, we eagerly await season 2.

I found it really tried to play a faithful Fallout tune and honestly I had very little issues with the tone. The Ghouls music was a little too loud and it always come off as comedic satire of a western badass even when it was clearly meant to be authentic badass time. Other than that the fight choreography was spotty a lot of the time. I can't stand the trope of a minigun just shooting all around a person as they run away. This one was especially bad because the minigun was like 20ft away and the guy was not an athlete running full speed. Also honorable mention to a super-humanly strong thing grabbing a relatively frail character and throwing them instead of breaking them with their hands. In like the next 2 episodes Titus literally does that exact thing to the dudes he's fighting with this power armor and pops a guy's head. I'm of the mind that if a piece of action or fight choreography looks silly and you can't make it look immersive then you don't need to include it. It's fine to skip some action and use a dramatic cut or two. Overall I liked it more than I thought I would and am very excited to see where season 2 goes as I thought the show only got better in later episodes.

2024-06-02 17:15:31 +0000 UTCAs a fallout fan myself this show was amaaazing, they did so good and as for you and other people who dont know the lore, I think it might be even better because as fallout players we knew that well, vault tec is not a good thing and people working their usually tend to ignore morals.. so overall the mistery was even better for people who dont know anything! cant ait for S2!!

2024-06-01 23:19:18 +0000 UTCThe behind the scenes clips of the actor who played Hank are hilarious. Dude had the time of his life playing with set pieces

2024-05-31 13:05:46 +0000 UTCThis show hit all the right notes, with only the nitpickiest of flaws to nitpick, and best of all didn’t try to be too massive in scale off the bat. Kept it nice and small Also, the fact that you have a twist villain dude in power armor backing away scared from the Ghoul is just excellent “show, don’t tell” to continue highlighting how much of a beast Cooper is

2024-05-31 13:04:29 +0000 UTCSo excited to see season 2 so we can find out what happened to Barb and the ghouls daughter!! I think season 1 was wrapped up perfectly though.

2024-05-29 22:05:42 +0000 UTCi think maybe he notices Maximus was a noob and want to play with him not to kill him 😂

2024-05-29 18:44:14 +0000 UTCThe show did an absolute service to the Fallout series. The only issue I have is the games let you choose your own endings depending on your actions, so with this show being canon, some endings are set in stone, but that's ok because they are the most liked. All the games, including the show move the timeline forward, with the exception of F:76, so the show being completely original will have consequences for any future game. I'd really like for them to delve more into the issues of America or even the Chinese/American conflicts from the resource wars.

2024-05-29 09:16:18 +0000 UTCHavent seen that one but im glad you enjoyed it!
Charles Grimes
2024-05-28 05:06:55 +0000 UTCYeah you're right. I was thinking Barb was there because Bud Askins was there. But i forgot that Vault 31 was Bud's idea and the people in cryo are apart Bud's buds not Vault-Tec managers.
Alec M
2024-05-28 02:44:30 +0000 UTCI don’t think they’ll end up at 31. That vault was for middle managers, and Barb was clearly an executive. Though you could be right since Coop and Lucy wouldn’t know that, so it’s feasible they would go there first.

2024-05-28 02:23:42 +0000 UTCJust caught up on episode 7. I appreciate the ERIK ESTRADA "CHIPS" shout out! Now lets get into this one. Gonna miss these Fall Out reactions! Thanks.

2024-05-28 00:44:15 +0000 UTCHank was making me mad. Had to keep pausing 🤣 Imagine nuking THE WORLD and then gaslighting people about it. Love his actor! Can't wait for the next season.

2024-05-28 00:42:18 +0000 UTCone has to wonder why the ghoul didn't shoot maximus in the weak spot back in the beginning
Presence Unknown
2024-05-28 00:35:51 +0000 UTCThe Ghoul says to Lucy "or you could come meet your makers" before leaving the observatory. It makes me think that they might go to Vault 31 first before tracking Lucy's dad, just because he said "makers" not "maker". He also wants to know where his family is. Considering his wife worked with Hank and other Vault-Tec managers, The Ghoul probably wants to go to Vault 31 to find out if she is there. (And potentially save Norm?).

2024-05-28 00:06:52 +0000 UTCThe “war never changes” gave me such goosebumps.

2024-05-27 23:38:41 +0000 UTCThe only other production ive seen with as much passion is the One Piece live action
Garrett Gee
2024-05-27 22:41:33 +0000 UTCGreat reactions! So basically Vault-Tec is probably the most sinister company of any work of fiction. The different experiments for each vault that were discussed in the show aren’t even close to the worst ones in the lore of this universe. (Barring a very few “control” vaults that were decent). As for Easter eggs, literally every prop in the show is an Easter egg. So don’t worry about missing anything. Oak’s comment about a show where everyone from cast and crew bringing their A game and passion to the production is spot on. Probably only the Lord of the Rings Trilogy can say the same, maybe a few others come close. Glad you guys picked up on the New Vegas sign at the end. It’s such a fun game. Little non spoiler fact on New Vegas. It’s one of the few major cities that was spared from the original bombings, due to anti-missile defense systems that had been set up in and around the city.
Charles Grimes
2024-05-27 22:34:33 +0000 UTCAnd Hank. I also hate Hank. The part where he bangs the stool on the bars is a truly emotional scene where he MAKES Lucy pay attention to him because he can’t handle how Lucy now views him. A murderer. Someone who murdered her mother. Someone who isn’t the man he portrayed himself to be for years.

2024-05-27 21:21:31 +0000 UTCFun fact, all the vault ideas they talk about? Those are actual vaults in the games :]. Won’t specify which ones as you wanna play the games, but as a fan of the games, I lost my mind when I heard the table discussion. Anyways im the number one Barb hater :]
slavicandsapphic
2024-05-27 21:12:50 +0000 UTCOn the cool things when they were making props, the game studio would send them the 3d art model from the game and then They'd 3d print them to exact spec.

2024-05-27 20:55:22 +0000 UTCTruly an amazing season, gentlemen. Can't wait for season 2!

2024-05-27 20:50:14 +0000 UTCThe code Hank typed was October 10th 1997. Release of the first Fallout game.

2024-05-27 19:32:45 +0000 UTCAlso, remember in episode 7 when Lucy says to Max, when he tries to convince her to keep the fusion core for his Power Armor: her response is "If my dad found out I destroyed an entire community just to save him, it'd break his heart." And now, it's revealed he did EXACTLY the same thing, but to an absurdly larger degree. EDIT: Also, I'm so glad you guys finished the whole credits sequence where it revealed that the city Hank was looking at was New Vegas. I think Fallout 4 is the most accessible for new players, but I hope y'all play New Vegas before season two comes out.
Jeff K
2024-05-27 19:14:11 +0000 UTCHaha just came to make the same comment.
Jeff K
2024-05-27 19:10:15 +0000 UTC10/10/97 is indeed when the original fallout was released, also the goriness of the show is alluding to how gorey the games are
William Hardy
2024-05-27 19:09:36 +0000 UTCWhat an unexpected surprise - wasn’t expecting this so early in the week! Also: I hope that getting this earlier in the week means we might be getting one of the Fallout games on the Arcade sooner than later!
Jeff K
2024-05-27 18:09:37 +0000 UTCWooo yeh!! Cant wait to watch. Im really intrigued on how your reactions will be to the final shot not knowing anything about the fallout Lore 🥳
