Bro got stuck on a box for fuck knows how long and blurted out all of their plans the second the lights turned on. They put the dumbest brain on a roomba
Bud was always over sharing. He damn near spilled the beans to Coop but Barb stopped him Actually now that I think about it, that's pretty clever writing. Instead of just having a character infodump out of the blue, establish them as constantly talking too much for their own good. It says a lot about the character, about the type of people working at Vault Tec, and is good comic relief
Dude, he nearly spelled out the entire plan to Coop in the parking lot! The guy is way too chatty for his own good, and probably had fairly limited communication for the last 200 years. No way Norm wasn't getting infodumped by Bud 😂
I imagine that's going to change in season 2 quite a bit. Even though he's quite timid and scared, we've seen enough to know he's curious, intelligent, and has leadership skills. He's been sheltered in the vault with instilled leaders keeping everyone in check, but outside of that we can see those qualities in him. I'm guessing he's going to be one of the 'the best leaders are the ones that never wanted the position' types later on. Great show and characters!
I expected him to be some sort of typical annoying younger brother, but turned out Norm is quite resourceful and had the arguably darkest arc among the main characters.
@@korawitbuttramee618 He has hacking skills, stealth skills, and apparently pretty good speech so far, he's passed a couple speech checks with the new Overseer.
I don't think this is an experiment, it's quite literally a way for Vault Tec to keep on existing in some way, shape and form - making a place where they can literally breed more middle-managers sounds like a thing real-life corporations would eventually do.
Its crazy how Bud is so brainwashed enough to trade his humanity for a little robot to be isolated for centuries all on the hopes of his plan succeeding. And the managers, they just live the rest of their lives underground
@@ceshmate1953 What use is luxury and money when the planet erupts into war every few years, tanking your stocks and killing a generation of your workers? I'd rather have peace in a small box than the constant threat of war in a mansion, I just wouldn't be psychopathic enough to sterilise the surface of enemies like Vault Tec tried to do.
Have you ever had the chance to monologue? Unveiling a grand plan started and carried out by your own hands. The feeling of control that you'll have over future events and seeing the hope leave the eyes of the people who will try and fail to stop you. It makes one feel like a god! But, if you are a foot tall brain in a jar. I would recommend actually disabling any threat BEFORE enjoying your ranting.
I like Bud’s character. It adds a bit of comic relief. Every company has one. A guy who rose to his level of incompetence but is still there for pity probably. It’s not for nothing that he wasn’t frozen with the other managers.
@@theyearwas1473he's not? Bud is just "designed" vault 31-33, as other highest bidder does, he doesn't the main architect for vault, hes just got the idea for vault 31-33 and vault tec engineer and architect do the rest. He's just have wacky idea for vault, and luckily much more tame unlike other shareholder and Vault-Tec partner has.
It always perplexed me as to why Vault Tec would invest in the vaults if they were not going to live to collect the fruits of their research. well I guess they can collect it now.
With buds buds, and the junior executives, the senior executives likely had their own vault. My guess is, that is where Howard's family is. Would make sense since she kept the investors happy that the higher ups recognized her talent and offered her a senior position, which is where they are likely held.
Collect what, it all a F*ck fest all valut majority failed one way or another, for a bunch of executives smart enough to get the job or make it, they didn't get humanity at all 😅
@@user-qu2pn1lh1g Can you do better? Plus it plays into his character he's been a brain on a roomba for an odd 200 years gone a bit loopy and when he had his body was a bit dim and a chatter box.
The residents of Vault 33(whoever stayed behind) and possible Chet and some others that moved in Vault 32 might have suspicions on where Norm might be after of few days of not seeing them, assuming Bud Brain doesn't contact Betty via the computer with how Norm did to find out about Vault 31 in the first place, maybe another uprising might happen in Vault 33 and the new residents of Vault 32 just like how the original Vault 32 residents passed away/died after finding out about Vault-tec and what Vault 31 really was about
@@neroxfrostbyte7461 the uprising wouldnt be the same since everyone in vault 32 died and destroying vault 33 would leave vault 31 with no breeding stock thus a failure in its experiment
I'm pretty sure his Dad is gonna come back with the (power armor) and spin a story like he did with Lucy. And Norm is gonna find out for himself what happened to his mom.
Unless the reason they unfreeze is because you broke the pods. Doubt a bunch of managers would have the know how to fix it and they'd have to move into other vaults since there's no food in this one.
@@ithrilzyne4542 That's what happened in vault 111. The people tasked with monitoring the cryo pods ran out of resources and overthrew the overseer so they could leave the vault. (And When the pods were broken only Nate survived. So it's somehow possible to mess with the operating system of the pods to stop them from working)
@@purplebean8989 From what I remember is that the pods in Vault 111 were acessed from outside the Vault and that all "pod people" except the family of the lone survivor were killed in that process. After all that raider who killed the lone survivor's spouse had to know where to look for the vault.
Man I feel bad for Bud, you'd think they'd give him robo/mech-suit for anything but they gave him this piece-of-shit vaCCUM-ROOMBA, they did him so dirty.
Worse, they didn't even freeze his body like the others, making him suffer from loneliness for 200 years. I wouldn't even wish for my enemies to suffer from that kind of fate.
True, but it wouldn't surprise me if all company jar brain employee have a way or plan to get their bodies back once all their experiments are done. Like implanting their brain back in a cloned body or something of the like.
I was just saying he had to have pissed off someone after that meeting. It seems like a twisted punishment. In fallout four when you go to the jar brain place they show logs of the people going insane from the revolution of being brains.
I noticed how the Vault Tec scenes are shot in the style of 1950's cinema, right down to the colour tints, camera framing and the shock revelation zoom-in close-ups, which Spielberg, Scorsese and Spike Lee are famous for borrowing.
Well the 2070's in the Fallout time line are analogous to the 1950's in our own timeline. And since the world ended in 2077 nothing much was invented or achieved for the next 219 years meaning the present day of 2296 has remnants of our 1950's/their 2070's all over it, in the adverts you see, the vehicles, the clothing, etc. This is why the music in the show and all of the games are from the 1930's to 1950's.
how did NO ONE talk about how the new overseer is named betty, and that his wifes name is also betty, and she was on the meeting that proposed the plan in the first place... of course shes in there
If the glass and metal are not resistant then it won't be able to do anything and maybe the robot doesn't even care about dying, it seems like it is a false consciousness and as much as this consciousness is determined in its mission it probably doesn't care about dying for it
Vault Tec and the Enclave were initially partners - The Enclave would use it's resources to protect the vaults and carry out experiments on the surface while the Vault Tec management would gradually emerge from cryo-sleep to breed and build their numbers, the Enclave however realised that Vault Tec planned to betray them once enough Vault Tec managers were awake to take over the running of the world. This caused the Enclave to pre-emptively declare war on Vault Tec to destroy them before they could take over. In Fallout 2 and 3 The Enclave are the primary antagonists, they are generally hated throughout the wasteland because despite being the last remnants of the US government they have spent the last two centuries developing a kind of pure-blood supremacism where anyone with even the slightest trace of radiation is deemed a threat and killed.
I do hope Norm isn't trapped there forever, there's so much potential to continue this storyline in season 2 and he was among the standout characters of the show
I think there's interesting ways for this to go. Norm could play a major role in the rest of the Vaults. I don't think he's just going to crawl into a chamber and sleep. He may threaten to pull the plug on the others that are asleep if Bud doesn't tell him how to get out, or to go back to Vault 33 and stop Betty. It would be silly for his story to just end here.
Bud was already a loose mouth in the flashback, so him having conversation with a clueless stranger for the first time in 200+ years is probably the reason why he's so excited to be able to deliver his villain speech
I feel like Norm shouldn't have announced his entrance there, nor his exit. He should've tried his best to be unnoticed. Weird course of action for an intelligent character.
@@aeternalux9175 I think I do, 8 episodes limitations. A lot of the writings felt rushed in the end and they could've done more on the episodes. I hope S2 is more than 8 considering S1's success.
Announcing or not wouldn't matter, he got there by informing the Vault 31 that he needs to go there and if there were an actuall people they would see him anyways, because again, he got there by sending an e-mail to Bud
The contrast between Rehoboam from Westworld and the stabby needle Roomba brain had me lit. The reveal is so anti-clamatic and absolutely hilarious. Nolan seems self-aware and has a great sense of humor.
son sus fieles subordinados, meterían a Norm en la capsula y volverían a las suyas yo lo dejaría en esa esquina y volvería a poner la escoba, a ver quien resiste mas o podría decirle "de hecho si hay una fuente de carne justo aquí" y me le quedaría mirando, a ver que hace
well there are 3 outcomes. 1: he becomes a part of vault tec "management" 2: he threatens to kill everyone in those cryo pods 3: he commit unalive himself
Bud brain: so I can't let you leave so you might as well get in the freeze pod or you can starve..... Norm: *cannibal perk unlocked* Sidenote if bud was gonna trap Norm, it was a TERRIBLE plan to trap him with the vaults prized assets, just saying
I like Bud. At first he seems comical and almost pitiable in his current state. Then it turns out he's a big part of the plan to ensure a dystopian hellscape where people wre controlled by Valt-Tec, alongside the plot to wipe out the surface.
I think it's meant to be another sign that Bud isn't as important as he believes: he clearly thinks he's cock of the walk, but after having to be bailed out at his own conference by Barb, he just wasn't worthy of the really nice hardware that more capable employees get. So, Stanislaus Braun gets a nice cosy cryopod and eternity in a virtual reality playground, Bud gets a cheapass scaled-down robobrain Roomba that doesn't know shit unless the Overseers keep him in the loop.
The fact that the robot was able to scan enough of Norm's DNA to figure he shares 50% of it with a visual scan is insane. It takes weeks for a DNA test to come back, and thats with a full cheekswab.
It likely wasn't a visual scan, visible light only makes up a tiny part of the EM spectrum, they just use visible light in the scene for effect. So that we have something to look at.
It's the future where they can put people in cryogenic suspension, re-attach (somebody else's) fingers and put brains in robots and you're saying the DNA scan wasn't realistic enough?
I'm quite impressed by the ambient soundtrack. For those who are unaware, it is a direct homage to the soundrack from the Glow- a section in the original Fallout game. In that area, the player explored their way through the remains of an underground base that had been saturated with bombs at the start of the apocalypse. In fact, the sounds coming out of the Robo-Brain in the beginning directly mirror the ambient speech playing in the background of that area- the ghosts of the comms officers in their final moments as they monitored the unfolding situation.
The terrible secret is... **DUMMM-DUMMMMM** : The vaults water tastes a bit like lemon. Among all the vaults this is prolly the whitest secret i can think of. Quite un-Fallout-ish.
Well, no, the secret is that they weren't shelters for an enemy attack. It was a deliberate and planned game to keep a useful few alive while the rest were killed by the people who made the Vaults. Imagine learning your entire heritage ended life on the Earth.
What I don't understand is how Bud or Hank didn't realize that something had gone wrong in 32 well before Moldaver came in with the raiders. They went for two years without any contact with whoever was the overseer there and that was fine? And you'd think that their pip boys would have been programmed to send out a warning if all the dwellers kicked the bucket.
Maybe it was bud who killed them all when they found out the truth, waiting for the bodies to decompose or something then moldave comes in pretending to be an overseer
¿alguien más se pregunta donde están los niños? solo los vimos cuando Lucy les daba clases fácilmente podrían haberlos puesto en la fiesta y luego que Hank anunciara que era hora de irse a dormir antes de que comenzara la masacre y luego en la reasignación del Vault 32 explicaran que solo moverían solteros y familias enteras, dejando a todos los huérfanos en Vault 33
The amount of people who don't realize that's Bud's brain is killing me 2:25 he legit is telling you all it's him. I mean if you want to go further into this theory, he's literally voicing the brain in the credits...
If Norm legit just took a few quicker steps out the blockade, he would have made it out. The pause and looking at the door closing, made him miss his window of escape.
Hey man look at the bright side you coulda been part of that vault that made super mutants. So at least your not big and green with the intelligence of an enterprising guinea pig... right?
