IT'S A TRAP - Fallout Reaction - Episode 5 

I think that Maximus has no idea of the history of "The Great War" of 2077, and the only "bombs dropping" that he knows were the one in Shady Sands where he had lived.

I figure if Maximus had actually read the manual he'd have known about the emergency release mechanism. Because even in the lore there are holotapes of power armor users noting they'd run out of power, so they left it behind.

I took Maximus's comment of "happens all of the time" to be like the player representation of us getting hit/shot all the time and just losing some health yet being okay unless we get really low lol

The tune playing as they sidle across the bridge is called "Ladyfingers". I have nothing I can add to that.

LOL, loving all the math visually coming from Katie's computations of the timeline!

In fallout 2 there was an encounter where you could find a dude trapped in his power armor. So i like that they had that in the show with Maximus.

Ella Purnell has been in two things that you should really see: Yellowjackets and Arcane.

There were power armors that didnt open when pulling their cores. You could find a body in one of them in one of the games.

They do give you a hint of what vault they wound up in right at the beginning of the episode

i think FALLOUT is a better adaptation of a game than THE LAST OF US, simply cause it manages to tell a brand new story inside a perfectly captured gameworld, that is connected to everything by being canon in the canon game timeline and not "simply" adapting the story (yet expanding and changing a bit) the story of one of the games like TLOU did. and dont get me wrong: i looooved TLOU HBO!!! I love how much this feels, looks and sounds like the games, the gore and humor is spot on. its perfect!

The Institute was in the Boston area, this is California. The Institute is an elusive scientific society based in the Commonwealth. Founded in 2110 by survivors from the Commonwealth Institute of Technology and their descendants, the Institute considers itself a bastion of knowledge and prosperity amid a dying world, and by 2287 has developed numerous revolutionary and advanced technologies such as teleportation and synthetic humans.

Keep in mind this takes place in california. So we likely wont see things native to the areas of the games. So likely no Minute Men. No Scorched. No synth. No cryptids from Appalachia. Etc etc.

As a video editor, I love the intense cut to the title card in this episode especially lol. They went hard with that one. Maximus really finds himself in quite the temper-lined pickle at the start of episode 5 ha.

My head-canon is that Maximus *could have freed himself from the T-60. He was just so untrained/familiar with how it actually works that he ended up **thinking he was stuck.

“Lucy” was in Yellow Jackets which is an excellent show.

I wonder if the Vault 32 people were exposed to one of the gases we saw at the hallucigen building in fallout 4.

Yes, that's a new hole/crater from when Shady Sands was blown up. By who? We don't know yet Maximus is from Shady Sands and survived that.

2077 + 219 years is 2296, Fallout 1 takes place in 2161 and Fallout 2 is 2241. So sometime between 2241 and 2296 (this series is the LATEST in the timeline) somehow Shady Sands must have been nuked.

the moment when you realize the gal at 12:32 is the arms dealer from fallout 4

Ella purnell also voiced jinx in arcane wich is based on league of legendes.Highly recomended.

Dang, I can't remember exactly how it happened in the show, but there's a really, really quick shot at 12:44 in this video, and the frame skipping is wild. The shot cuts to Maximus' hand reaching for the gun in Lucy's holster. His left hand touches the gun, then the gun just disappears entirely, he pulls his left hand back, the hand is empty. Then the wide shot cuts to the gun in Maximus' RIGHT hand. I'm not saying that there's a mistake or anything, it's not a nitpick, it's just interesting because I would imagine the Fallout show is a higher framerate than the reaction video's framerate.

The actress who plays Lucy was Jinx in Arcane, and if you haven't watched that, you should.

Oh, goodie, trapped in a power suit and eaten alive by rad roaches. My claustrophobia is SO totally not gonna remember that one.

The lead actress, Ella Purnell, is in lots of stuff. She’s in Invincible, Arcane, & a show you both might really like called Yellowjackets. Think if Stephen King wrote ‘Lord of the Flies’ with an almost all female cast.

(definitely not corn. It's mentioned several times in the season - including in Episode 1 - that Vault 32 grows wheat)

There is no synths or railroad. that was only in the commonwealth, only in Boston. The institute was only on the east coast, not in Los Angeles.

17:20 Fallout 1 was 2161, 85 years after the bombs fell. Fallout 76 was only 26 years after the bombs fell in 2102. Fallout 4 was 2287, and the show is 2296. The bombs in Fallout Life fell in 2077, and the bomb that destroyed Shady Sands happened in 2281. So Max just thinks the bombs dropped when he was a kid in 2281. He was either lied to, or just culturally different where he was born in this world so he thinks 'the bombs dropping' were the event he experienced. I think it is more of a lie from his chapter in the brotherhood.

I have to say I came for Fallout but I love you guys

If you two haven't seen something with Ella Purnell in it before, you two might check out "Arcane". It's another great video game adaption show. The first season has been out for years, and the second one will be out November, this year. Might be good to react to the first season when the hype for season two is starting to build up. It's a great show, won many awards, and you don't need to know anything about the game. There are nine episodes total. You can watch them one at a time, or three at a time. When Netflix released it, it was three at a time for a reason. Nobody ever listens to me, but skip the intros. I feel there is too much spoiler in it, people that don't already know spoilers from having played the game are able to deduce future plot from it. I've seen it happen over and over. Anyways, good luck bears.

Enclave is the remnants of fedral government (mostly scientists) not related to vault tech. They are the science form of the BoS. Railroad probably won't appear because they are focuses in Boston and not as large as Enclave or BoS. I'm not sure how fare the synths spread but someone could be one in the show I suppose.

Watch YELLOWJACKETS , she (Lucy actress, I'm brain-farting her name as a type) has a major part and the show is pretty interesting... and kinda wild. 1 season with another upcoming. I think it's a Netflix thing. P.S. Abraham Lincoln was also 1 man

Lol@ definetly corn😂

Thanks for the consistent uploading new vids

My favorite goofy people are back! 🥰🤪

Also "Anchorage" is a reference to a DLC for Fallout 3

Chet isn't huge, Norm just has the Small Frame trait, ha!

I will say, despite seeing the full series, I love the idea of Maximus being a synth the entire time 😊

"Why do I know Fallout dates, but I don't know real history dates" same here brother, i guess the games are more interesting than history 🤣

Ella Purnell also played in Miss Peregrines School for Peculiar Children, pretty good movie, made by Tim Burton, with Samuel Jackson in it and Eva Greene :).

Ella Purnell was in Yellow Jackets. I recommend watching that one.

Shady Sands was the Capitol of The New California Republic! theres almost three quarters of a million members of NCR. Shady Sands contained 34 thousand people. No Spoilers.

Thanks for the laughs! Have you watched Arcane on Netflix? Amazing show. Lucy "Ella Purnell" is a the awesome voice actress of Jinx.

You guys need to watch Yellowjackets!!!! Lucy is in that and it’s NOT a gen z show 😂😂

19:00 Wouldn't it be wildly horrifying if Vault 32 got cleaned up so fast by waking up a few of Bud's buds and then putting them back in the sleepy clink afterward? Honestly, what's weird is that the simpler explanation should make more sense, but it doesn't. If the residents of Vault 33 believed that the Raiders from the Surface killed everyone in Vault 32, it would make sense for them to be like, "Okay, we're gonna see some really fucked up shit, but we gotta clean Vault 32 up after the Raiders came in and killed everybody, and our kids would be in therapy for centuries if we told them about this, so we'll do this in secret." But, even then, wouldn't at least one or two of the adults be like, 'Yeah... that was way more fucked up than we thought it was going to be - they weren't killed by Raiders. Those people killed each other." Not even so much as a "Geez Louise, Betty." And, even THEN, look at how these guys casually cleaned up Vault 33 after Muldaver's initial attack in the first episode. Even the suspiciously positive old guy was like, "Today sucks, Norm. My day is as bad as everyone else's. The fuck is wrong with you?" The vaults are literally Plato Caves.

I wanted to align myself with the Railroad. My game on Xbox had a game breaking glitch so I couldn’t complete the Railroad storyline. So I just chose to burn the world, instead.

Pour one out for Shady Sands. Gone too soon

Maximus cannot talk to people in any kind of normal fashion. He reveals that it’s him, not Titus, and then, instead of saying what happened-maybe even lying to make it sound a bit better-he says “we just have to get our story straight”. Yeah, that’s not bad sounding! Plus, remember, he just branded Thaddeus. That makes the reveal much worse. I think it would have been better to say “I can’t brand you, because…” and tell the truth.

Did you say Gesundheit? Hehe

You know that Betty is the blind Woman from Deadpool ?

You really do get everything for $5. You even get access to OTHER people's Patreons. It's a crazy good deal.

Thanks for the fast upload!!! You guys are a highlight of my week!! I hope this comment helps with the engagement Al Gore Rhythm!

The institute was my faction :) as director they do as i say and allowed gen3 to do as they pleased.

Railroad is on the east coast. If you want to be free vote vault 33

6:14 you'd think he'd have been more popular with the ladies

I honestly have no idea why people think Thaddeus had already turned on Maximus. This was all he said once the faceplate came up: Maximus. What did you do? Where’s Knight Titus? They’re gonna kill you. It’s the Brotherhood. They’ll find out. No part of that sounded obviously against Maximus, at least to me. He didn't say he would tell them, or that he wouldn't lie. He just sounded shocked and a bit scared of both the Brotherhood and Maximus himself, since he was inadvertently giving the impression that he had murdered Titus.

Watch yellow jackets Ella is phenomenal on that show and it’s really good it would be a great show for reactions too

you 2 are gre4t!

Thanks!
