Snip snip fixed her finger because his original programming was a hospitality droid. They gave him a new purpose, but his original programming remains. His first thought is to make her comfortable
Surprised how nobody is pointing out the parallels of his character in the movies to who he is now. In the beginning he didn't want his character to kill the criminal because it wasn't who he was. He was the sheriff, a hero. Now he is Jorge the criminal. He is strong, ugly and lacks dignity now
He knows full well what he has become he just doesn't give a damn. In fact if anything he loathes Lucy for being exactly what he was and that he was unable to break her but ultimately learns to respect her strength which is why he asks her to join him in the end.
You're actually comparing him with himself, not his movie characters. It's not his character that questioned the shooting of that dude. It was Coop, the actor having a moral disagreement with playing a violent murderer as a role.
For all ghouls the radiation is slowly rotting their brains and they will eventually all turn into feral ghouls, which is what we saw in this episode, which are basically just zombies. Most turn instantly feral if they become a ghoul, but some keep themselves sane, but they will still eventually go feral one day. That can happen at any time but they'll be able to tell when they are close
This was arguably the best episode of the season for me. Her drinking the water is a bit of a reference to the gameplay where you can drink water from any source but most will result in hearing that ginger counter sound. You can even drink from the toilet lol. Her rigged Mr Handy draino weapon wouldn't have worked on a ghoul. From the looks of things in 32 they revolted and killed the Overseer after fining out the "truth."
The era of superheroes are over, video games adaptations are the new rage. If they can keep this quality up in the later seasons, this show will be a classic
I'm certainly loving the show so far. And I'd love to see more videogames get the live action treatment with good writing, quality production and genuine passion like this show, Last of Us, Sonic movies etc...However I wouldn't say the era of superhero movies are over, we've just been getting mediocre films and hopefully with Marvel films like Deadpool 3, Fantastic Four, Blade and James Gunn's DCU reboot starting with Superman (2025), The Batman Part 2 and so many more projects it's just going to take small time for superhero movies to be as good as they once were. Plus we've gotten excellent superhero movies and TV shows recently like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, Across The Spider-verse, Blue Beetle, X-Men 97, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem etc...
Lol Deadpool 3 will be garbage as will fantastic 4 and the rest. Nobody cares about woke marvel tripe anymore. They no longer have an audience. People are more excited for Gunns Superman and Joker 2.@@milkiassamuel780
@dcmastermindfirst9418 your the first person on the Internet I've seen say deadpool is gonna be crap, saying people are more excited for superman and joker is just lies 😂 deadpool and wolverine is potentially the most hyped marvel film to date with maybe no way home topping it
I really like the moral ambiguity of the show and how it shows that the Vault dwellers naive and optimism isnt as effective in a cruel wasteland and how in order to survive they need act like they want to survive but that doesn't mean that they shouldnt give up their morals, despite everything and people can still be better in a dystopian future
@@melvinhoyk what's improvement to you? Unity? Civility? Peace? ...nothing in our history as a species suggests that these are any thing more than idealistic buzzwords. Even those who preach them leave rafts of corpses in their wake to achieve it, excusing their own crimes as necessary evils for the 'greater good'. Conflict is a part of life and hiding from it and trying to control it only leaves one vulnerable when it does kick off or turn one into a tyrant out of fear.
I'm so excited to see your reactions to the reveals. I binged watched this and my mind was blown. also they did say that this isn't a direct adaptation of the videogame story, more of just the world itself. this is basically a new story that they made for the tv show.
I could be wrong, but The Ghoul is feeling withdrawal symptoms since he lost his drugs. As for going feral, I think there's no direct clue about who's turning or not, because there are a lot of normal ghouls that live in highly radiated zones and don't turn, though there are a lot of ferals there too. Others say that is a mental problem and I think is the main reason(along with the radiation). You need to remain "sane". The ghouls constanly feel pain from the radiation, so the drugs help a lot.
Solid theory, the only thing I'll say against it is, at least in the games, ghouls get healed by radiation. Hence why you tend to find them in highly irradiated areas. But maybe it could heal them physically but also accelerate their mental degradation ...🤔
Fun fact, the Super-Duper Mart exterior locations were filmed on Staten Island, NY. Which is funny, because Matt Berry is inside that Super-Duper Mart, and What We Do in The Shadows takes place.....on Staten Island!
If you’ve watched Blazing Saddles there’s a part where Bart said, “You’d do it for Randolph Scott”.. and the townsfolk sing the name. That’s the equivalent, that’s the guy. Hero of old Western movies.
I almost choked on my beef nachos when you said is that Ethan Hawke? I would think I would have recognized him. Thanks for chiming in it wasn't him. I was about to be mad.
As a Fallout fan I did love this series, hope they keep it up with more eastereggs in the upcoming seasons. Also as far as LA adaptations go, I belive Jaby is forgetting The Last of Us (maybe he didn't like it as much or maybe they didn't watch it)
you know, knowing what characters Ella has played lately, if I ever meet her or someone like her, I *WILL* make the note to *NOT* upset her. like, there's levels of "do" and "don't", ....and upsetting someone like her definitely falls out of the bottom of the list.
17:39 me thinks that is the experiment going on with all three vaults involved. The water chip purposely gets broken, their crops and water supply dies down and the vault people goes crazy over the shortages. Prolly to the point of them killing each other. But what’s also interesting, and also possibly dark, is that lil scene of those people strangling each other. And notice how the overseer was strapped to their chair? They don’t appear to have wounds like from knives or bullets. They DIED in those positions. Like how the water chip seemingly broke on its own, it’s the same as the vault either put up gas to kill the people (prolly also the reason why the crops died, they were poisoned) or the air was sucked out. SOMEONE or some GROUP of people controlled the vault to incite bloodied chaos and killed off the rest of the people who wasn’t offed horribly by their neighbors altogether by a push of a button. 🤔🤨😰☠️
I think Cooper was more or less a John Wayne "American treasure/hero" type of golden age movie star..thats why everyone knows him or of him and his movies are so prevalent..its also why he was hated after doing the vault tech promos!! Imagine if John Wayne started hawking shit for corpo America.. I also remember hearing John Wayne didn't like killing ppl in his movies at a certain point because he is supposed to be the ultimate "good guy".. so im 100% sure waltin goggins character is this alternate reality fill in for John wayne....
Just with %1000 less racism and misogyny. John Wayne was a really shitty person. Even 200+ years of post apocalypse living didn't turn the Ghoul into that
I am pretty sure snip snip put the finger back on because you cant reattach it after you kill the girl so he reattaches the finger so he can sell the hand later.
Previously programmed as a med bot, program hacked to add in the organ harvesting. Program runs initial medical analysis and reactions, and then continues with harvesting.
22:28 ...a trail of Reece's Pieces, if for E.T., . . . and I share this in generosity, as y'all tipped me twice to someting once knew and then forgotten. Keep up the great work and full-happy laughing.
It does embody a lot of the "Fallout feelings" you get while playing. The best part is finding weird small mysteries with notes and corpses where you have to puzzle stuff together. If you find a house you might find out how the family handled it based on context clues and stuff like that.
This episode is pretty important. It establishes proper dosage for the yellow mystery drug that creates/sustains mindful ghouls: Transaction. Yes? "Two months supply of vials..." + (later) How much are they asking for, Snip Snip? "Sixty vials". ~ 1 vial/day.
I think it's funny you brought up your love of Arcane (which is freaking amazing) yet didn't recognize Ella Purnell's voice. Might wanna take a stroll over to IMDB.
Good reaction. Vault 81's side mission and Vault 88 in Fallout 4 offer some deeper insight on what Vault-Tec was up to. Vault 75, under Maldon Middle School, had the potential to be the most sinister. I like this series.
@@crimsonghoul8983 In Fallout 4 there are 7 known vaults (vaults 75, 81, 88, 95, 111, 114 and 118). 118 is in the Far Harbor DLC. Vault-Tec built over 120 vaults. There is also Fallout 4 content that didn't make it to the public release and that content included another vault...Vault 120. Vault 120 was supposed to be under water.
The actress that plays Lucy, Ella Purnell does a voice of the main character in Arcane. Haven’t seen Arcane but I heard she plays a main female character in it.
Based on what happened with the water system, it seems like that’s happened before, which is why they usually discussed it in private, makes me think her dad must have left the vault at some point to get the device fixed.
I agree with both of you that the show is really good and I hope they can keep it up. I do think it would have been better to have Lucy start to lose that vaulter's innocent side of her closer to the end of the season. It was a funny attribute in the show and would show her strength of will to hold on to what she believes in until a major situation happens that forces her to adapt to the world around her. That way Season 1 would feel like the Lucy arc and then Season 2 could've been the Maximus arc where we start to see him become more of the knight he can be proud to be. The Ghoul would have a continuous arc throughout Season 1 and 2 then Season 3 is where we really get into finding out whether the character is going to fall on the side of good or evil. Personally I wouldn't have drank that water because no matter how thirsty I'd still be scared of what that radiated water would do to me. I'm so invested on finding out what happened in Vault 32 and I hope they have Norm step up and become the leader he might be. That could be why he's so bored with everything they've assigned him because it doesn't really challenge him. Enjoyed the reaction 👍👍✌ out.
Possible spoiler****** watching this it just occurred to me. Lucy talks about “the great plague of 77”, I’ll bet there was no plague. This was when Lucy’s mom took the kids to shady sands. Hank locked everyone in their quarters so he wouldn’t have to explain where they were and to give himself time to go get them.
Just like the games: there is a veneer of satirical humor and some quirky characters and situations, sometimes even hilarous dialogue, but for the most part it takes itself seriously. The games are exactly like that.
I remember in the games the Ghouls didn't have to take some sort of medicine to keep them from turning Feral they just had to live out their lives and hope that they didn't just go feral one day oh yeah and also in the games there are special kinds of Feral Ghouls
About hindsight being 20/20. Yeh there is a LOT that's revealed in the last episode that is foreshadowed in this and even previous episodes. Spoilrs for Last Episode below: . . . . . . So when Lucy's brother and Chet are in the now abandoned Vault you can see on the walls "Death to Management" scrabbled. Then in the last episode you realize that the Vaults were all basically project groups run by the Management from the guy who was in the meeting with all the other CEOs. So "Death to Management" was just people revolting against the person who was elected Overseer and who, by some wierd coinsidence, always was a person from Vault 31 where all the Cryofrozen Managers were.. Then go back to Ep1 and look at how people behave. It is like the Management leaders dream. "Let's all de-escalate", and so many other buzzwords..
It might be a little thing, but I'm kind of disappointed they introduced Mister Handy (Snip Snip) as a new thing to Lucy. In the Fallout world, Mister Handy is pre-war tech, to the point they would've been in people's homes and definitely would be in the vaults. The tone of the episodes seems pretty good so far. I've played all the games over the years and have found myself laughing throughout all the episodes I've seen so far (I'm upto ep4). Even at times where laughing doesn't seem appropriate, because it reminds me of something from the game. The games can be serious and very dark, as well as campy and silly.
@@TheSoldier0fortunE Yeah, I thought about that after posting, maybe those 3 vaults just didn't have any. But then none of the pre-war scenes/flashbacks show them either.
@@heytoast7129 Wasnt there one in the intro serving drinks or something? I'm sure i remember a mr handy during the party scene, but id had a few beers when i watched the first episode
@@TheSoldier0fortunE Yep, rewatched that ep and it's there. Right as the mom grabs the cake and walks through the house. Surprised I missed it. Thanks for that, I stand corrected.
I've got a question (and I don't want any direct answer but I just wanted to point this out) so if these three vaults are connected and they trade regularly which I'm assuming was part of the experiment how did no one realize what happened in vault 32 for 2 years? Assuming all 3 vaults kept in contact with each other it doesn't really make much sense
yes this is the best video game adaptation of a video game. unfortunately I knew the feral Gaul thing in the first because of the game. there are so many references to the other games in this that are not part of the world building its great.
I love the foreshadowing of “oh, I’m you, sweetie, you just give it a little time". She becomes like Cooper at the end of the series, being completely aware of what Vault-Tec really is.
Inspired, entertained that used to be the motivation of audiovisual movies and television. Today manipulation pay walls are a fortress and entertainment has no chance!
If you Like the mysteries and like to keep asking questions, may i suggest your next adventure to be watching Lost. Thats the apex of mysterious cliff hanger asking questions show ever to exist.
in case you ever need this information.. if you ever need to eat human meat.. its the butt.. most meat and furdest from the face.. so you can atleast somewhat not see it as human.. everything else is off the table since it would remind you of a human being
