Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By p3590: I had no clue it was a tranny until mentioned here. It wasn't an actor I recognized, and it was a minor role, so I didn't look them up. Its not like Amazon followed the "put a chick in it and make them gay" Disney method here. There were plenty of gay/trans/whatever characters in the games, going back 25+ years. Either the complaint is with all of Fallout across the board, which is at least logically consistent, or it really is seeing woke stuff everywhere. You could take an episode of Leave it to Beaver and cast similar actors to play the roles and do shot for shot remakes of every scene, and they'd find something to be angry about... |

The show is like that weird dress picture that was circulating the internet years ago... some people saw a blue dress while some people saw a gold dress. The harsh reality is that the show is both at the same time. Allow me to present this argument in the framework of the Simpsons Monkey Paw Seller:
 Seller: The show has a FEMALE PROTAGONIST! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but she gets beaten down and abused more than she succeeds! Homer: That's Good! Seller: The BoS character is a BLACK GUY! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but he's a borderline incompetent habitual lair of a man-child who fails upwards as a product of a deteriorating system! Homer: That's Good! Seller: The Ghoul character is in an INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but his wife turns out to be one of the main villains! Homer: That's Good! Seller: There's a weird HE-SHE BoS character! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but the he-she is a self-harming coward! Homer: That's Good! Seller: The white men are all depicted as GOOFY or INCOMPETENT! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but that is because by and large almost everyone in the show is goofy or incompetent! Homer: That's Good! Seller: The hippy NCR / "Communist" scientist woman is a STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but her plans all more or less fail in the end and she dies like a bitch after basically turning on her super power generator only to basically hand it over to the BoS. Homer: That's Good! Seller: The Chicken Boy Troglodyte brother character is a COWARD! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but he finds his balls and investigates the vaults more or less alone, even going into vault 31 when he might be killed! Homer: That's Good! Seller: The show is CURSED! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but the show comes with a free Frogurt! Homer: That's Good! Seller: ... but the Frogurt is ALSO cursed! Homer: That's Bad... Seller: ... but you get your choice of toppings! Homer: That's Good! Seller: ... but the toppings contain potassium benzoate! Homer: ... Seller: That's bad. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By p3590: I just finished it last night, and was pleasantly happy with the entire season. I laughed pretty hard about the BoS making their initiates/squires haul giant piles of gear, and go dangerous places without power armor....because I treated my companions about the same playing the games. Anyone that's butt-hurt about brief, mostly clothed, sex scene between married people on their wedding night, and also played the games has to be trolling. I think the best easter egg/surprise that would be missed by people that hadn't played the games was the Robco terminal hacking scene. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/187397/terminal-3195104.jpg |

I liked it, was it as good as something we would have gotten in the 1980's or 1990's from Hollywood? Nope, but those days are behind us and I take what I can get now in entertainment.
Definitely was better than anything that's come out of Disney or Netflix. |

That's poor writing. Artists depiction of TxRabbitBane enjoying Fallout.   I really wanted to not watch Fallout, and fully expected to not like it and quit mad before the end of the second episode. Frankly, at this point I'm mostly mad about not being given a good reason to hate Fallout. I don't need more distractions in my life, I don't need to look forward to entertainment trash, and I certainly loath giving more money to Amazon and their ilk. And when Season 2 comes out, I'll fucking go through this all over again.

Just finished the season up.
I guess I liked it overall. The BoS is odd. Perhaps they merged with the Legion out west? They certainly seem to lack much of the east coast BoS's military structure and have more pseudo-religious trappings, along with Roman names. They did the NCR dirty, but them's the breaks. I was somewhat disappointed in the combat. No VATS? No laser or plasma weapons? You see them about, but not a single instance of one being fired in any of the episodes. There was just something oddly overstyled about it, too. This isn't Borderlands. Agree the pre-war scenes were some of the best parts. |

I started a rewatch.
I'd forgotten the Asian chick going in dry on Maximus when she repaired his armor doodad.  She was a lot of character for maybe 87 seconds of screen time. The voice, the look, the attitude and the anal. Also the stoners at the organ harvesting store were memorably funny. Thaddeus is my favorite after the Ghoul and Lucy. Did Chickenfucker turn him into a ghoul or was that just more Stimpack style stuff? Now that I'm accustomed to the premise of the world I see a lot more sight gags and funny interactions. |

In that particular vault, I bet it's no big deal, as calories seem to be no issue at all, although it is mentioned that people starved years ago when everyone had to quarantine and couldn't work the fields. Times of plenty will always create at least some fat people. |

They certainly seem to lack much of the east coast BoS's military structure and have more pseudo-religious trappings, along with Roman names. They did the NCR dirty, but them's the breaks. I was somewhat disappointed in the combat. No VATS? No laser or plasma weapons? You see them about, but not a single instance of one being fired in any of the episodes. There was just something oddly overstyled about it, too. This isn't Borderlands. Agree the pre-war scenes were some of the best parts. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MVolkJ: Just finished the season up. I guess I liked it overall. The BoS is odd. Perhaps they merged with the Legion out west?

That doesn’t mean the majority of people thought that the tranny WITH A MUSTACHE was simply a “butch girl.” |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Consigli: Ok. So what is the difference between a Ghoul and a Fiend? But the short version is, Fiends are in major cities today, unaltered drugged up humans. Ghouls are altered humans alive and in power way beyond nature or reason, kept alive and relatively sane by expensive medicine. Ghouls make up most of Congress. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Consigli: Originally Posted By eagarminuteman: He turns feral if he quits taking that chem, which is basically becoming a zombie in layman’s terms. Ok. So what is the difference between a Ghoul and a Fiend? Ghouls are Pre-War people exposed to lots of radiation from the bombs. Instead of killing them, in Fallout it made them immortal. And most of them insane and homicidally violent. Fiends are just criminals and assholes. Drug-addled in most cases. Think, the baddies from the Mad Max movies. |

So at the very end of the last episode, Lucy's father has escaped. And is gazing at a city in the far off distance that appears new or untouched by the nuclear war. What is that? A coastal elite city? A "management" city? |
