What if the Fallout TV Show sucks? 

Hot take: 90's video game movies, while bad, can still be entertaining.

The show is based on the West Coast so the likelihood of New Vegas getting a surge in sales is a decent prediction.

If? It's better to always presume it will be and lower your expectations! That way the cringe we always get wont surprise us. 😒

My expectations are abysmally low anyway, so I'm certain not to be disappointed.

Doom (2005) is a banging movie and I will die on that hill.

Rather it does or not I find it ironic that Christopher Nolan directed a movie about the creation of the Nuclear Bomb and his brother Nicholas Nolan is making a TV series based off of a game that's about the aftermath of multiple nuclear bombs

I'm trying to think of good adaptations you may have missed, but man, I'm struggling. 😅 resident evil 1 is a decent guilty pleasure, especially with such a small budget. Ig i can sympathise with movie makers of adaptations. If they make a product too faithful, they've not added anything artistically and can be replaced by someone more ambitious. If they add something to the adaptation, they lose at making an adaptation. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Let's not forget about the Borderlands film coming in August.

People said the same thing about the boys when Amazon was making it and it was fire same with invincible let just trust in Amazon studios for another banger

"It wasnt made for the fans" so its guaranteed to be shit. Its also Bethesda's fallout, so you ca double just how shit it will be.I

I hope its good but if it sucks we still got the games... at least the older ones lol

it's not a what if scenario after looking at the t45 powe armor retcon flying like an ironman suit the show will suck and ppl that like to eat whatever slop they're spoonfed by hollywoood will like it like the witcher's show or halo series

GOOD NEWS It’s fine… if your deep into the lore you will be rather annoyed but overall it’s fine

If it sucks, don't worry. "Fanon Discontinuity" is a thing, and it helps lots against that non-Tactics Brotherhood of Steel game, 4, 76, and sometimes Tactics and 3 if one only deems the Western Seaboard stuff as canon. I'll recommend Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie if one wants a real good video game movie. Helps that it's, at best, canon for that franchise. Oh, and the first Resident Evil movie isn't quite bad; rather, it neatly fits as a standalone sidestory for the game series... but I won't sing the same praise to its sequels. Still, I'm more partial to movies lovingly based on video games like Wreck-It-Ralph, Edge of Tomorrow, and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. 2:28: When that gets delisted, I won't mourn. Ghost Recon 1+expansions for life!!! If it surprisingly succeeds or not... I really would love to see an animated anthology sequel series for Wolfenstein: The New Order+The Old Blood, albeit it renders The New Colossus onwards as non-canon, since B.J. Blazkowicz was martyred by fire on Deathshead's Compound.

Rest assured, it WILL suck.

Hmm honestly half the trailer was good, but when the Brotherhood showed up I kinda lost interest. I a prefer to see the mc going around the surface, exploring the post-apocalypse.

It does suck, but the fans of the game love it.

Not gonna watch until i am sure it's good.

I know if it sucks I won't watch

It will suck 100%. Screencap this.

Nobody care

The huge advantage Fallout has over any VG adaptation is that there is no set story or characters that have to be in the show. Get the look right, get the tone right and get the lore writ large right and the writers are free to create their own original story. What we've seen from the trailers it looks like they got the look and tone right as for the lore and if it's a good story we'll find out in a month.
