This show is proof of two things. Don't fix what isn't broken when adapting source material, and there is no replacement for practical set design and effects.

I'm having great difficulty finding evidence that would disagree with you. It's really is a great adaptation. I remember many years ago, mentioning to people that it would make a great TV show or movie and received such hatred for that statement. Here we are today!!! I win!

Not only does Goggins portray Coop, and the Ghoul. He is also the original Pip Boy. The chads at the B-day party keep asking him to do the famous thumbs up thing.

Lights, Camera, JACKSON!, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

Lucy is strong without being too strong. The Ghoul is broken without being too broken. etc. An excellent and compelling story set in the Fallout Universe. Because most of the science is not real, try to remember that it is Science Fantasy like Star Trek. Fallout has both aliens and ancient elder gods (aka also aliens), so keep an eye out for if they go there.

Lights, Camera, JACKSON!, I liked this video because it's awesome!

I've never played any of the Fallout games and I'm not a big fan of dystopian sci-fi, but I still really enjoyed this show!

Ive watched the full series twice now and im still so surprised at how good it is. After 76 i just expected the worst. It actually feels like the target demographic was fallout players and didnt just sell its soul trying to get more eyes on it. Still plenty of questions for the next series too. Very impressed with it all tbh

6:10 my impression was that she was with vault 31, and was the early ones to be awaken..

Loved the show, never played the game. But I'm raring for season 2!

Oh, I agree. It's rather rare to see a good gem like this to be excellent video game adaption. Of course, it's not perfect as it has a minor issue (I strongly emphasize minor term) such as Sandy Shores being re-located to Los Angeles Boneyard instead of Fallout 1/2's putting it at the desert area near Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and within vicinity of Death Valley. That's it, really. Rest of them are perfectly spot on in terms of lore fluff and aesthetics plus characters. Main issues created by people who screamed foul at the show is due to two things: 1.) Nuking of Shady Sands which that has been solved nicely by direct statement by Todd Howard who made it clear that city was nuked after Fallout: New Vegas. 2.) Destruction of NCR, that, is where people did not bother to pay attention at all, as Maximillian never said that NCR was gone, he merely said Shady Sands was gone plus Todd Howard confirming that NCR is still alive, they merely lost one city to madman from Vault Tec.

Ah yes, Cyrosleep. Villainous CobRo's reverse tech version of RobCo's Cryogenic chambers.

The Namib is is in Namibia!

I liked arcane a little better but fallout was very well done.

Literally only issue I had was the plot hole of Cooper knowing about the t 60 weakness in ep 8 but didn't exploit it in ep 2 against max that is Literally my only complaint and it's a minor one. The muldaver part of not knowing how she survived 200 years it's easy to just assume like the vault tech management that she also froze herself for some time

Arcane is a masterpiece, fallout made it to great but stops there

I actually think prince of persia is not that bad, but yeah these new shows and movies are quite good.

I'm saying it now Moldova is a synth 👀

don't forget Cyberpunk Edgerunners

If there is one movie or series i would love to see is the Half-Life universe come to life. Perhaps a 7 Hour war movie and then a series which let's you see from the perspective of the Rebels before Gordon's arrival or during the events of Half-Life 2 episodes. Fallout is just proof that it can work if the right director gets to do it.

So... he might turn into a super mutant next season!?! 🤞

I think Dead Rising would also be a great video game adaptation movie

Isn’t it kinda weird that cyberpunk takes place in 2077? Think about it

I had high hopes for Netflix's "The Witcher" to be a superior adaptation, and season 1 was pretty close, but what has followed has definitely deviated and I'm no longer following it.

they did really well with HALO adaptation also... but I think Fallout will be the top spot for the foreseeable.

What makes no sense for me in the show is why would Moldaver go to the vault and murder innocent vault dwellers. She is friends (or lover) with Lucy's mom which herself comes from this vault. So Moldaver should know that the people there have nothing to do with Vault-Tec and are just innocent people who have no clue what is going on in the world. Another thing that makes no sense for me is the fight betwen Maximus and the Ghoul in Filly. Why did the Ghoul not shoot in the weak spot of the armor like in the last episode?

super mario bros... was 3 games at adapted at once... you cant beat that.

The Norm storyline is the best arc tbh. You think he’s a useless coward, but he shows how brave and talented he is, and is part of his story arc through all 8 episodes, and links heavily with Coopers. Also, the end is the typical cliff hanger ending at the end of a series. It’s actually fun how all the characters are archetypes. You can almost see the special stats of them, and their Karma.

how much is amazon paying you?

I enjoyed most of the show especially the vibe and enviroments, i think the made a great job on capturing the spirit of the games. However they change too much lore from the games to ignore for hardcore fans of the games. Last episode was the weakest, the plot for how the Nuclear war started and why was just nonsensical. Sentry tower sene in episode two was poorly constructed.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners was better imo

Clearly you haven't seen the Last of Us

Todd Howard said you get a canvas bag, and a premium nuka cola dark rum. That settles it, case closed. I am sure we can all move on, just watch and clap in awe. And remember it was never China, it was always Eurasia.

All your "bad" points are just unresolved plot points, but you never address why that's "bad". I can't imagine you're saying that unanswered = bad ...because that would be a silly take.

Are you try to shit some bad stuff because you couldn't find a real bad spot?

Nope, Arcane is.

I wanted to like this show, but 5 episodes in, I just had to stop watching. I don't have the time or patience to point out places it fails. On the plus side, great sets, while I don't like the character the actor plays in the Brotherhood, but I thought all of the actors (most especially the veterans) did a very good job. This show fosters a huge list of misconceptions.

I liked the fallout series, so far. But.... S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has a better story and ambient than Fallout! It would be, if followed the LORE, a much better history!

I over all liked the show, but it suffers from 100s of cuts that if they keep adding to them, can kill it for alot of people in season 2. From the tired reveal that Muldaver was just another misunderstood girl boss, to white dad being the REAL villain, to why Hank didnt recognize the woman who his wife and kids had run off, that he retrieved from to the power armor functioning like an Ironman suit with wrist jets, to the BoS steel being portrayed as a cult of "toxic masculinity" instead of the remnants of the US Military that they were, to Maximus just failing upward (which I can only assume he is an idiot savaant with a 10 in luck) because an Aspirant on probation declares him Knight after he didnt kill Muldaver... do Aspirants have that authority? These are all nit picks... but they absolutely start adding upto frustration. The choice of the song "It's a Man" when Maximus was flexing in the power armor instead of a more obvious choice like "Mighty Mighty Man," these things just left me feeling like "come on..." But yes the acting was good, the costumes good, the world setting was good. The plot was anticlimatic. Why did the people in Vault 32 go ape shit and kill themselves? Why did Vault Tec think nuking the world would help their bottom line? So many stupid choices. 6-7/10 at best. I hope they get better writers for season 2, pretty much everything else was fine. But Hollywood has had a real problem in the creative writing deparement the last 10 years. Its almost like all their good writers happened to be the preverts thrown out with Weinstien.

Seriously lmao the show was complete garbage! WTF

Yes. Its brutally beautiful. Also they maintained the canon of the game and no bs woke stuff stuffed to our throat. As a fallout 4 lover, it was truly refreshing

That's cool, but crappy writing (abundance of plot holes, bad dialogue and jokes, to name a few) and mediocre acting (Maximus, in particular, was awful) make this a decent show. 5/10.

press x to doubt "perfection" nothing truly exciting happened in the show. no memorable sidestories, doesnt make you hype.. all MC does is run around for 8 hours looking for daddy.. as for the "best video game adaptation" all video games adaptations released so far are all outright terrible
