[0:07] creating satirical storytelling based on
[0:09] a video game does not mean you can write
[0:11] anything and be praised for it we are
[0:14] not doing the space Wizards thing on
[0:15] this channel okay even he ended up
[0:17] regretting saying that the point being
[0:19] the deaft hand in which you can weave
[0:21] substantive allegory caricature and
[0:23] poignant explorations of insane patterns
[0:26] or mundane cruelty in life is something
[0:28] we should ask nothing but the best for
[0:30] satire can be one of the most powerful
[0:32] instruments to affect change in one's
[0:34] mind or one of the most embarrassing
[0:36] ways to reveal your own naive
[0:38] perspective now I'm not a man who
[0:40] demands realism for all these stories
[0:42] nor cartoonish craziness for all of them
[0:44] either I demand internal consistency all
[0:47] that matters is what the story tells me
[0:50] matters regardless of all that let's
[0:52] have a chat about the new Fallout Show
[0:54] Bud has an idea for three interconnected
[0:58] vaults buds buds because the basic
[1:00] obstacle to achievement has been the
[1:02] brevity of the human lifespan it's
[1:04] prevented us from working on projects
[1:06] that take us entire millenniums into the
[1:08] future buds buds will solve that so we
[1:12] have Vault 31 releases Junior Executives
[1:15] periodically when they've been unfrozen
[1:17] to become overseers in vaults 32 and 33
[1:21] through many generations the plan is to
[1:24] end up having a society of super
[1:26] managers because the junior Executives
[1:28] have been taught how to be managers and
[1:30] they're going to teach everyone else how
[1:31] to be managers everyone's going to be
[1:32] managers it's going to be amazing people
[1:34] who are good at management will create
[1:36] the best Society that's what buds buds
[1:39] is all about once everyone on the
[1:41] surface is dead the super managers will
[1:43] emerge and create a great society until
[1:46] then vaults 32 and 33 will exchange
[1:48] people periodically to ensure population
[1:51] growth which means what Vault 32 and 33
[1:54] are just people to be controlled to be
[1:57] bred to create super managers well 33 is
[2:01] okay but 32 was filled with people
[2:02] strangling each other oh gosh they
[2:04] they're all dying there's blood on the
[2:05] walls Jesus but 32 was not overpopulated
[2:09] not like the rat Utopia experiments
[2:11] playing on the video inside the Vault
[2:14] instead they discovered the truth and
[2:16] went mad they killed themselves and each
[2:19] other and they tried to get into Vault
[2:21] 31 but how did Vault 32 discover the
[2:24] truth and why would discovering the
[2:26] truth that instead of a vault in which
[2:28] you're meant to be kept safe and secure
[2:30] you are being trained to become a super
[2:33] manager that will take over civilization
[2:34] at some point why why is that like why
[2:36] why why would that be the thing that
[2:38] makes you want to kill yourself like yes
[2:39] you've been lied to but ultimately
[2:41] you're still in the exact same situation
[2:44] only now you know that you're menant to
[2:46] take over like this is a vault tech
[2:48] personal project they they're guinea
[2:50] pigs sure but they're very well-kept
[2:53] guinea pigs however if we pop our
[2:55] thinking caps on perhaps bud decided
[2:58] that the crop of super managers in 3 2
[3:00] was so much less effective than those in
[3:02] 33 that he culled them he forced all
[3:04] their food sources to die out hoping to
[3:06] then as we see in the show split 33 the
[3:09] good crop into halves and repopulate 32
[3:12] but that doesn't really explain why they
[3:14] killed each other or themselves nor why
[3:16] they wouldn't have asked for help from
[3:18] 33 during all of this hardship we see
[3:20] how easy it is to get into an overseers
[3:22] account how come they didn't try to open
[3:23] the vault 33 door out of desperation
[3:25] when they were willing to try it with 31
[3:28] if they know then they should know
[3:29] there's only cryo tubes in there 33 has
[3:32] food and water and people who are
[3:34] willing to help but ultimately why
[3:35] wouldn't they open their front vault
[3:37] door to the Wast land when we know they
[3:38] are perfectly capable of doing so since
[3:40] Mula does it 2 years later from the
[3:42] outside and Lucy does it in her own
[3:44] Vault hell we find out Rose did it
[3:45] without bud or Hank's permission with
[3:47] Hank to follow her bud is apparently
[3:49] incapable of stopping any of that and so
[3:51] you want me to buy that not a single
[3:53] person in Vault 32 was willing to Brave
[3:55] the outside instead of starving to death
[3:58] they must have had very specific and
[3:59] strange knowledge to make all of this
[4:01] fit but I still really don't know how
[4:04] what did you know [ __ ] did you
[4:06] find out that voltech blew up the world
[4:08] cuz I mean I don't see how they could
[4:10] possibly have found that out but I also
[4:11] don't know why that would make them kill
[4:13] themselves you know however they found
[4:14] out they don't even have proof they
[4:16] never got Vault 31 open how do they know
[4:18] what happened and you know what if they
[4:19] have an equal exchange rate of people
[4:21] from vaults 31 32 and 33 then why
[4:23] wouldn't they have questioned when they
[4:25] have referenced the fact that they know
[4:26] people come from Vault 31 that no one
[4:28] goes to Vault 31 this all becomes super
[4:31] [ __ ] when you take into
[4:32] consideration that they start up a
[4:33] saying for voting in Vault 31s for the
[4:36] best results doesn't that highlights
[4:38] this very strange coincidence as if they
[4:41] want to make it further suspicious they
[4:42] apparently tell all of the super
[4:44] Managers from 31 to talk about how good
[4:46] the [ __ ] potatoes are how you going
[4:47] to tell me anyone believes this [ __ ] how
[4:49] you going to tell me that there are any
[4:50] stakes in the investigation the bag of
[4:52] tricks from comedy can be useful you
[4:56] know where instead of having people be
[4:58] awesome why not have them be dumb if the
[5:00] answer to this is everyone's [ __ ]
[5:01] then why isn't Lucy's brother [ __ ]
[5:03] and if they are sending people to Vault
[5:05] 31 and they just get dealt with who's
[5:08] dealing with them the [ __ ] brainbot
[5:10] he's not doing [ __ ] so even if people
[5:12] were periodically sent to Vault 31 Bud
[5:14] brain ain't killing them so I I I don't
[5:17] understand how did people not figure out
[5:19] something weird was going on why did it
[5:21] take grimy he's grimy don't fight this
[5:23] so moldava wants to take her Raiders
[5:25] into Vault 33 via Vault 32 with the Pip
[5:28] Boy from Rose considering their wacky
[5:30] approach why didn't they just go
[5:32] straight into 33 they were willing to
[5:34] raid Vault 32 so why not just raid Vault
[5:37] 33 and then how insanely lucky is it
[5:39] that everyone's already killed each
[5:40] other ages ago in Vault 32 meaning they
[5:43] have every opportunity to Simply take
[5:44] over and pretend to be Vault 32 but then
[5:47] why was everything untouched and unlived
[5:49] in in Vault 32 since the deaths of the
[5:51] Vault dwellers remember the Raiders
[5:53] arrived and had to live there until the
[5:55] date for the wedding that was organized
[5:56] by moldava over the overseers terminal
[5:58] with Hank I have no no idea how she was
[6:00] able to pass any kind of basic check
[6:02] from him by the way we see them fully
[6:04] kitted out with Vault suits Pit Boys
[6:06] exchange of information and fundamental
[6:08] knowledge of the situation regarding the
[6:10] vaults they even understand etiquette
[6:13] somewhat meaning the Raiders lived in
[6:15] Vault 32 and changed nothing they just
[6:18] hung out with the corpses right next to
[6:19] them as they conducted everyday life no
[6:21] attempt to maybe move the bodies were
[6:24] they lucky enough to arrive just a day
[6:26] before the trienal schedule and Hank
[6:28] agreed despite having no contact for 2
[6:30] years once you reach the end of the
[6:32] season the notion that Hank would be
[6:33] overprotective of Lucy is an
[6:35] understatement you'd think someone like
[6:37] him would discover as much as he could
[6:39] about the man marrying his daughter you
[6:40] know hopefully as a baseline you confirm
[6:42] he's not a [ __ ] psychopath I guess a
[6:44] man who chooses to Nuke an entire city
[6:46] out of spite for his wife taking his
[6:48] daughter away doesn't care too much
[6:50] about who she marries I also think it's
[6:51] strange that a pit boy for Vault 33 can
[6:54] open the front vault door for Vault 32
[6:56] when there are very deliberately
[6:58] separated vaults designed occlusion as
[7:00] part of the experiment in fact I'm
[7:02] surprised that everyone has the
[7:03] potential to access each other's vaults
[7:05] we've seen the denial of access in some
[7:07] cases but why would someone outside of
[7:09] Vault 32 with a 33 Pip Boy be granted
[7:12] access why wouldn't bud have controls to
[7:14] prevent the opening of all three vaults
[7:16] surely the release of any super managers
[7:18] is the final plan and so surely it must
[7:21] be approved by him but okay so her plan
[7:24] has now evolved into pretending to be
[7:26] Vault 32 people to then perform a faux
[7:29] wedding with the Vault 33 people to then
[7:31] capture Hank mlan and take him back to
[7:33] the observatory because he has the codes
[7:35] to activate the cold fusion what a
[7:37] wonderful plan except everyone's a
[7:40] [ __ ] why didn't Vault 33 do any
[7:42] systemic or rad checks with Vault 32 nor
[7:45] did they recognize any of these people
[7:47] despite making trades once per 3 years
[7:50] what did everyone die and get replaced
[7:52] with people who had a three-year growth
[7:53] Spirit how the [ __ ] does any of this
[7:55] happen wouldn't Hank have known about a
[7:57] replacement overseer while in
[7:58] communication with bud and the
[8:00] Mysterious Silence from Vault 32 for 2
[8:03] years do you guys remember when they
[8:04] split Vault 33 into two halves so that
[8:07] they can do this same system forever do
[8:09] you really think it would make a lick of
[8:11] sense to them to not recognize anyone
[8:13] after just 3 years is everyone stupid
[8:17] none of you were capable of lifting your
[8:19] arm up one time to check for radiation
[8:21] and then on the Raiders side of the
[8:23] retardation they just let anyone
[8:25] casually walk into Vault 32 to see all
[8:28] of the dead people why the [ __ ] would
[8:30] you let anyone in to see the dead people
[8:33] that literally ruins the whole [ __ ]
[8:35] point all the Raiders had to do was say
[8:38] ah [ __ ] you know what no one's allowed
[8:40] in because we had a cold spread around
[8:42] and there's a bunch of people in there
[8:44] with a cold and you can't come in but
[8:46] that never should have [ __ ] worked
[8:47] cuz everybody would recognize these
[8:48] aren't Vault 32s anyway the goal of the
[8:51] Raiders was to infiltrate Vault 33 and
[8:53] get access to the overseer because he
[8:56] has the codes they need but if you
[8:58] rewatch that episode they don't secure
[9:00] him whatsoever they could have walked
[9:02] him away to a one-on-one conversation
[9:04] and knocked him out but instead they
[9:06] send people into randomly kill they are
[9:09] just blim blamming they're eating
[9:11] they're shouting setting things on fire
[9:14] blowing things up oh look a pregnant
[9:16] lady with a fork in her eyes is shooting
[9:18] everyone the overseer wasn't even
[9:19] captured they don't make him a priority
[9:21] they instead wait for him at the
[9:23] entrance and hope what if he had been
[9:25] killed that would have [ __ ] up the
[9:27] whole plan when he arrives with his
[9:29] daughter they don't kidnap them both and
[9:30] then use her as leverage for him to
[9:32] activate the cold fusion or anything
[9:34] like that instead they say choose your
[9:36] daughter or these people and he chooses
[9:38] his daughter and so the people run away
[9:41] wait they run away they're supposed to
[9:42] die then the bad guys leave with him and
[9:45] not her apparently they don't want to
[9:46] liberate anyone from The Vault the
[9:48] people who have been lied to their whole
[9:50] lives some of these people are the same
[9:52] people the Beloved Rose tried to save
[9:55] the worst of it is that mava allows her
[9:58] kettin to have the r of the place and
[10:00] they almost kill Lucy several times is
[10:03] this not one of rose's two children you
[10:05] [ __ ] idiot what the [ __ ] were you
[10:08] thinking are you honoring Rose and her
[10:10] goals by casually killing the children
[10:12] she tried to save when they had no idea
[10:15] what was happening why didn't you go in
[10:17] there capture and restrain one by one
[10:19] until you can save them all from this
[10:21] experiment why were you happy for all of
[10:24] these people to suffer and die why
[10:26] Little Miss power to the people were you
[10:28] happy to Unleash Your Raiders into a
[10:31] world filled with ignorant slaves to an
[10:33] experiment watching everyone get sliced
[10:36] diced and decked including some really
[10:38] barbaric [ __ ] why why was this your
[10:41] plan why it doesn't make any [ __ ]
[10:43] sense at all why did you leave so many
[10:44] of your own people in the vault how is
[10:46] it even possible that your armed armored
[10:49] and ambushing Raiders even lost it makes
[10:51] no [ __ ] sense you could have taken
[10:54] over the Vault you could have gotten
[10:55] everyone out you could have taken
[10:56] advantage of all the resources what is
[10:58] wrong with you I this is going to be a
[11:00] very unstructured rant where I just talk
[11:03] about how much this show is terrible
[11:05] since we're near the subject why don't
[11:07] we talk about moldava the woman who
[11:09] leads the NCR who wants to get Justice
[11:11] for Rose and wants to provide free clean
[11:13] energy to the people of the Wasteland
[11:15] her plan was to go from The Observatory
[11:18] to Vault 32 to Vault 33 back to the
[11:21] observatory this Mission would involve
[11:23] collecting Hank mlan she needs Hank mlan
[11:26] because he has the code that will
[11:27] activate cold fusion however she also
[11:30] needs what Wilzig puts into his neck so
[11:33] Mula organizes a very long system of
[11:35] retrieval for Mr Wilzig she provides
[11:38] Rufus with caps who then provides Tommy
[11:41] with caps who then provides ma Jun with
[11:44] caps who then agrees to provide
[11:46] protection and escort to Wilzig to the
[11:48] observatory now you may have one
[11:50] question there why the [ __ ] didn't
[11:53] moldava just pick up Wilzig herself she
[11:55] and her team of Raiders went to Vault 32
[11:58] on foot that's where Lucy starts she by
[12:02] chance bumps into him in Philly and then
[12:04] takes his head to the observatory the
[12:06] only reason an extended set of idiots
[12:09] would have been paid caps by her to move
[12:11] him from Philly is because she knew he
[12:13] would be in Philly had she just waited
[12:16] with her Raiders in or near Philly for a
[12:19] day she could have taken him with her
[12:21] but no instead of handling it herself
[12:23] like she did with Hank she's going to
[12:25] pay Rufus to pay Tommy to pay M June to
[12:28] get him there is stupid we're supposed
[12:30] to believe Mula loves Rose she says oh
[12:33] you know Lucy your mother was so kind so
[12:35] loving so curious so clever she says
[12:38] these attributes were quite reflected in
[12:40] Lucy if that's true then why the [ __ ]
[12:42] didn't you care what happened to Lucy in
[12:44] Vault 33 your Raiders almost killed her
[12:46] several times and did you want your best
[12:49] friend's daughter to be tricked into
[12:50] sleeping with some random Raider as well
[12:53] the [ __ ] second why didn't you liberate
[12:55] her from Vault 33 as well as her brother
[12:58] third why didn't you say the people
[12:59] there in general fourth why didn't you
[13:02] prevent Rose from going feral did you
[13:04] not provide her the vials to stop her
[13:06] skin from melting and then of course if
[13:08] you care about her so much why the [ __ ]
[13:09] you letting her live like this she's
[13:11] half skeleton why the [ __ ] are you
[13:13] letting this happen oh she was so kind
[13:15] and loving and curious and clever and I
[13:17] hold her hand at the end because oh we
[13:19] achieved our goal [ __ ] hell you could
[13:21] have put her out of in misery fifth why
[13:23] did you want to blow up a bunch of
[13:25] innocent people with that bomb you
[13:27] psycho [ __ ] she literally provides a
[13:29] personal threat to a pregnant woman how
[13:32] is this in character six why did she
[13:35] introduce herself as Le molda you'd have
[13:37] to very shakily assume Hank never saw of
[13:40] or heard of malula despite his company
[13:42] having bought out hers pre-war and then
[13:44] she would need to hope that he never saw
[13:47] her or learned about her in the
[13:48] Wasteland when he went to get his kids
[13:50] and destroyed Shady sands on that note
[13:52] how does malava even know Hank blew up
[13:54] Shady Sands it could have been all kinds
[13:57] of people outside of a single vault well
[13:59] did he say he did it cuz like why the
[14:02] [ __ ] would he do that and of course if
[14:04] he did tell her he did it then he would
[14:06] know her in fact this gets even weirder
[14:08] because she almost expects him to know
[14:10] her I think I know who you are everyone
[14:13] knows who I am on one hand this could
[14:16] literally be anyone looking for Revenge
[14:17] For What Hank Did to Shady Sands rather
[14:19] than Mula but on the other if it's an
[14:22] obvious choice to think she is the Lee
[14:24] moldava why did you give your [ __ ]
[14:27] name when introducing yourself in an
[14:29] attempt to trick
[14:30] him and then there's the stupidity she
[14:33] was willing to raid 33 and 32 but didn't
[14:36] want to start with 33 for some reason
[14:38] making her entire goal much harder and
[14:40] don't forget she ditched her own people
[14:42] after sending them to attack and kill
[14:44] more innocent people why did she feel
[14:46] the need to blow up the connecting vault
[14:48] door for 32 and 33 but not the entrance
[14:51] to 33 if she's trying to prevent them
[14:53] from chasing her she would need to block
[14:55] both doors also super lucky there wasn't
[14:57] way more extreme security on the Armory
[14:59] eh and to put a pit in that on one hand
[15:01] she was apparently unable to recreate
[15:03] the technology that she herself
[15:05] spearheaded 200 years ago in order to
[15:07] have versions that don't rely on voltech
[15:09] control I guess she didn't hold back any
[15:11] technology blueprints or intelligence
[15:13] from vault tech when they bought her out
[15:15] despite her hating them but on the other
[15:17] hand she was able to create the
[15:18] equipment required to facilitate cold
[15:21] fusion as a source of power for an
[15:22] entire electricity grid you understand
[15:25] California got nuked several times right
[15:28] did you reinstall and repair the power
[15:30] stations Transformers substations and
[15:33] pylons you then Network it all back to
[15:35] the Griffith [ __ ] Observatory how why
[15:39] the show would have you convinced that
[15:41] Lee moldava is a Survivor carved out and
[15:44] forced into harsh conditions by the
[15:46] cruelty of voltech when in actuality she
[15:49] is a completely [ __ ] collection of
[15:52] random actions dependent on what imagery
[15:54] they want to create at the time of
[15:55] filming also how the [ __ ] has she been
[15:57] alive for 200 years in any case Mula
[16:00] dies the hero of the show apparently
[16:03] despite all of the horrors she's
[16:04] committed we're supposed to think she's
[16:06] a good guy but let's be honest mulva is
[16:09] dumb as [ __ ] and an evil son of a [ __ ]
[16:11] which just so happens to be absolutely
[16:13] against every last piece of spoken and
[16:15] described characterization the show
[16:17] wants to provide her and she's not the
[16:19] only character to be assassinated it's
[16:21] so obviously monstrous that you kept
[16:23] Rose as a [ __ ] pet ghoul you witch
[16:26] anyway let's talk about Hank mlan the
[16:28] noble lead leader who will do anything
[16:30] to save his daughter she is his world
[16:33] nope he wants to ensure her safety
[16:35] because she's the future of the super
[16:37] manager Jean Pool we discover he will
[16:39] destroy all nons super managers meaning
[16:43] literally everyone else apparently he
[16:44] fully agrees with bud and he must ensure
[16:47] the future of super managers because I
[16:49] guess that's the only society that will
[16:51] work is super managers I guess he didn't
[16:53] foresee the idea of some people having
[16:56] different thoughts his wife left the
[16:58] vault with his children and so he
[17:00] decided to kill her when he knew she was
[17:02] in Shady Sands he somehow managed to get
[17:05] in there kidnap his children back and
[17:07] then nuke the place and kill everyone
[17:09] how did any of that happen I don't know
[17:12] they say is he burned the city to the
[17:14] ground he burn that City to the ground
[17:17] because that's how vault tech deal with
[17:19] competition that's how vault tech deals
[17:21] with competition you know he's just a
[17:23] mustache twirling villain he doesn't
[17:25] want people to have energy and to live
[17:27] outside of the people in the vault he
[17:29] doesn't want anyone alive outside of the
[17:30] Vault that's his character he's a
[17:32] radioactive [ __ ] did he and the team
[17:35] really not anticipate meeting anyone
[17:37] outside of their own vaults only if they
[17:38] did they would immediately nuke him this
[17:40] is especially brain dead when he knew
[17:42] better than anyone there are over 100
[17:44] vaults experimenting with the perfect
[17:46] Human Society you are bound to encounter
[17:49] some nons super manager factions with
[17:51] every layer you peel back you can see
[17:54] more of the [ __ ] molten core why did
[17:56] Hank suggest it would be Lucy's kids
[17:58] generation that would be able to go to
[17:59] the surface and rebuild Society there
[18:01] are people up there who know what he did
[18:03] and hate him he should be more than
[18:05] aware of the animosity toward him and
[18:07] vault tech there's also plenty of
[18:09] factions Hank would be aware of but to
[18:11] be fair the Assumption right now is Hank
[18:13] will nuke everything to get rid of all
[18:15] of them but way his grandkids can't go
[18:17] up then the radiation levels would be
[18:18] reset and uh it just doesn't make any
[18:21] sense and then there's the notion that
[18:22] he spent a week looking for Lucy and
[18:24] grimy after having left Vault 33 through
[18:26] the main door The Story Goes Hank
[18:28] simulat a plague by quarantining
[18:30] everyone to their apartments for what I
[18:31] assume was a long bloody time if he
[18:34] managed to convince people he dropped to
[18:36] 128 which raises the question of how the
[18:39] [ __ ] did he pull that off how did they
[18:41] simulate a plague right at the moment
[18:43] they needed it such that it was
[18:44] convincing to all of the people in the
[18:46] vault Bud's experiment is super managers
[18:48] not plagues how do you effectively lie
[18:51] to about 50 people about all of these
[18:53] variables when there's just about two
[18:55] people who can actually facilitate it
[18:57] and then of course why does Hank a
[18:59] junior executive assistant have not only
[19:02] the codes to activate cold fusion but
[19:04] the codes to launch a nuke on Shady
[19:06] Sands do they all have that kind of
[19:08] power seems pretty [ __ ] to me
[19:10] fourthly and a half malava isn't even
[19:13] phased by the fact that Lucy is the one
[19:15] delivering wiig's head to her what she
[19:17] wanted from him and her relationship
[19:19] with him had absolutely nothing to do
[19:21] with Lucy but she's like okay that makes
[19:24] enough sense she doesn't ask a single
[19:26] question as to how any of this [ __ ]
[19:28] insan ity happened I had to make a
[19:30] choice between their violent world and
[19:33] our peaceful one you see Lucy we needed
[19:35] a peaceful world so I nked everything I
[19:37] know I made the right choice oh [ __ ]
[19:41] this is his faction speech right he says
[19:43] the when the world is factions the only
[19:45] solution is to get rid of the factions
[19:47] if the problem with the world is
[19:49] factions then what is the solution but
[19:51] to get rid of the factions if you do
[19:53] that then there's only one faction left
[19:55] and that's us and we can shape the world
[19:57] how does this line up when by Design
[19:59] they are creating factions in vaults all
[20:01] over the world factions would be created
[20:04] by the mere separation of vaults 31 32
[20:07] and 33 Hank you would develop smaller
[20:09] factions in your own [ __ ] Vault but
[20:12] more importantly what is your
[20:13] understanding of humanity you stupid
[20:15] [ __ ] Humanity will always split into
[20:18] factions the more and more of them that
[20:19] there are how do you not know this being
[20:21] an expert manager oh and let's not even
[20:23] talk about how [ __ ] lucky it is that
[20:25] a headless suit just falls into the room
[20:27] you understand that if this didn't
[20:29] happen and if Lucy didn't become a
[20:30] [ __ ] and not point out the fact that
[20:32] he was putting it on he would never have
[20:34] been able to escape ultimately Hank mlan
[20:36] was introduced as a reasonable
[20:37] intelligent attentive forthright and
[20:40] caring man who wanted the best for his
[20:42] people and his family while maintaining
[20:44] Focus Under Pressure that Silo is
[20:47] reminding me of a much better show if
[20:49] they wanted to go the direction of Hank
[20:50] being super evil in a DI hard super
[20:53] manager then why would Lucy giving him
[20:55] sad eyes be enough to convince him to
[20:56] betray voltech like why would he do
[20:59] something so antithetical to his belief
[21:01] system just because his daughter told
[21:02] him to when he believes she doesn't
[21:04] understand the situation especially when
[21:06] that code was probably all that was
[21:08] keeping him alive it's his word against
[21:10] mavas he can absolutely and easily argue
[21:13] she is lying he can deny even having a
[21:16] code I suppose it's lucky there wasn't a
[21:18] contingency code set up by vault tech
[21:20] that locks the entire system my dad
[21:22] found out that I destroyed an entire
[21:24] Community to save him that break his
[21:28] heart it's sad that Hank in episode 8 is
[21:30] a complete clown and this man was stolen
[21:32] from us God it's such a shame Kyle mclin
[21:34] deserves much better than playing a
[21:36] [ __ ]
[21:40] cartoon all right let's talk about the
[21:42] wizig guy maybe I should have talked
[21:44] about him first but this is unscripted
[21:46] okay we're doing crazy things here okay
[21:49] so Rogue Enclave man willig The Enclave
[21:52] don't get a single explanation of
[21:54] suggest what the [ __ ] they even are by
[21:55] the way he is aligned with moldaver and
[21:57] he hopes to steal Enclave tech for the
[21:59] good of the Wasteland he does seemingly
[22:01] jeopardize this Mission by trying to
[22:03] take care of a dog that would have been
[22:04] too small for standard intake he doesn't
[22:06] create a solid place for the dog to be
[22:08] hidden or leashed when he absolutely
[22:10] could have like like look at this this
[22:12] is what he has and he [ __ ] this up he
[22:14] also didn't lock his door so some guy
[22:17] blunders in and sees his naughty plans
[22:19] and ruins everything like seriously if
[22:21] he had locked his [ __ ] door none of
[22:23] this would have happened in any case he
[22:24] then awkwardly survives a gun turret
[22:27] unloading what looks to be about a
[22:28] thousand rounds at him while he shuffles
[22:31] away how the [ __ ] did this man Escape
[22:33] The Enclave how are you going to tell me
[22:36] that this old [ __ ] waddled away from
[22:38] this facility when one person with a
[22:40] pistol could have stopped him if all six
[22:43] agencies have the description of Rogue
[22:45] Enclave man why the [ __ ] did he not lose
[22:48] the glasses or change them if necessary
[22:50] shave his head wear anything different
[22:53] compared to his [ __ ] bounty image the
[22:56] [ __ ] like he's spotted immediately
[22:58] medely by the first man familiar with
[23:00] the Bounty so he ends up with Lucy and
[23:02] he does eventually give up he got his
[23:04] leg shot off and he's likely going to
[23:05] bleed out so he decides to take Cyanide
[23:08] and he tells Lucy to cut off his head
[23:10] there's a couple issues with this one of
[23:12] them being that he is very familiar with
[23:15] Vault dwellers and specifically her
[23:17] Vault not only that he's directly
[23:19] aligned with moldava this means that the
[23:22] last person he would want what's in his
[23:24] neck to end up with would be someone
[23:26] like Hank mlan the father of the person
[23:29] he is handing this to you need to start
[23:31] acting like a surface dweller miss m how
[23:34] do you know my name you'd think Ma June
[23:36] when offering a thousand caps to kill
[23:37] the ghoul would be able to spare some
[23:39] change for contact to escort Wilzig at
[23:41] least someone more reliable for him than
[23:43] the daughter of the man who nuked Shady
[23:45] Sands and by extension I assume the
[23:47] woman he works for what even was the
[23:50] escort plan was she just going to do it
[23:51] herself also is he seriously dying in
[23:54] this scene because they forgot to give
[23:55] him a stim pack they clearly had one the
[23:58] [ __ ] ghoul finds it on a desk where
[24:00] they were working on him where shown it
[24:02] stops bleeding it's like a cure all
[24:05] their pay is contingent on taking care
[24:07] of him I see we only sometimes play by
[24:10] The Game's rules huh even stupider than
[24:12] that however is that he takes cide
[24:14] before explaining the situation he does
[24:17] not ensure that she understands what is
[24:19] happening and what she has to do and as
[24:21] a result he dies during the explanation
[24:23] because of course because that's writing
[24:26] thanks to that Lucy doesn't know what
[24:28] the f [ __ ] is going on but oh well it's
[24:30] not like he was deathly invested in this
[24:32] Mission being completed it's not like it
[24:34] means freedom and power to the world I'm
[24:37] sure he didn't really care that much the
[24:39] Grim reality of a character like will
[24:40] zig is that he isn't a character at all
[24:42] he got pulled apart by the plot and the
[24:44] need for other characters to have
[24:46] Journeys by the end he barely had any
[24:48] personal goals or motivations Beyond
[24:49] being a quest Giver to the main
[24:51] character pretty sad since Michael
[24:53] Emerson is a very solid actor and he
[24:55] only got the one episode being a mangled
[24:57] doormat NPC anyway that's him who else
[24:59] we got why don't we talk about Maximus
[25:02] the best character I'm sure all of you
[25:04] will agree everyone's favorite little
[25:07] [ __ ] whether the [ __ ] razor blade in
[25:09] a boot thing was him or the friend I
[25:11] don't I don't actually care at all it
[25:12] was so [ __ ] stupid I I wanted it to
[25:15] happen is that wrong there's good and
[25:17] all people there's good and all people
[25:19] none of it makes any sense no one should
[25:20] believe anyone could get wounded to that
[25:22] extent by stupidly shoving their leg
[25:25] into a razor bladed boot over and over
[25:27] again second there's no way to think
[25:28] that it was actually him that did it
[25:30] like there's no real evidence but a
[25:32] bunch of people do assume that it was
[25:33] him and so he gets promoted he denies
[25:36] doing it of course but expresses that he
[25:38] wants it to have happened that is
[25:39] expressly antithetical to the Creed of
[25:41] the Brotherhood of Steel in this show I
[25:44] I I I wanted it to happen is that wrong
[25:47] yes it's also a blatant admission that
[25:49] he's awful for this job on top of the
[25:51] fact that we find out the old [ __ ]
[25:52] think he probably did it anyway and not
[25:54] that it matters but why did danne think
[25:56] this wouldn't affect anyone like did you
[25:57] actually think you could butcher your
[25:58] own leg deny responsibility and no one
[26:01] would be blamed and then when that's
[26:02] actually brought up the conflict of
[26:04] Maximus having taken the fall for D self
[26:06] harm we get nothing it's erased
[26:09] immediately but who cares time for a
[26:11] promotion now he gets to be a squire
[26:14] like why well you see it takes a lot to
[26:17] sabotage your fellow Soldier and that's
[26:19] that's taken power or or something yeah
[26:22] sure whatever instead of having people
[26:23] be awesome why not have them be dumb so
[26:25] off he goes on his adventure and his kn
[26:28] gets bored and so lands for no other
[26:30] reason than [ __ ] it and then they almost
[26:33] immediately bump into the exact Trail of
[26:36] the guy they're following now bear in
[26:38] mind when sent on this Mission the
[26:40] Brotherhood are scouring the Wasteland
[26:42] for Wilzig it just so happens that these
[26:45] guys drop out on their way to one
[26:47] location and they fall right on top of
[26:49] wiig's Trail incredible so then Maximus
[26:52] just lucks out because a yau decides to
[26:54] ninja attack the Knight instead of him
[26:57] when he's not wearing any [ __ ] Armor
[26:59] at all and so the Knight is scared and
[27:01] he runs away in such a way that he
[27:02] [ __ ] kills himself I don't know he
[27:05] like breaks his neck or he's bleeding it
[27:07] doesn't matter it's just the ninja yau
[27:09] is so stupid anyway the Knight needs a
[27:11] stem to be alive and because this show
[27:13] is written by shitty cartoon children it
[27:15] it doesn't actually like make anything
[27:16] make sense he is desperate for a stim
[27:18] and so he decides while his Squire is
[27:21] collecting it to tell him how much he
[27:22] has failed and will be killed for it
[27:24] it's written like [ __ ] he's like oh why
[27:26] you taking so long to get a sim you're
[27:27] just so bad at your job I can't wait for
[27:29] you to get me my stem so that you can
[27:31] then be killed for being bad at your job
[27:33] you best get me that stem oh I'm going
[27:35] to be mad if you don't get me that St
[27:36] I'm going to die and then you'll you'll
[27:37] be in less trouble if you don't get me
[27:38] that stem so Maximus lets the night
[27:40] bleed out and that's that why did he
[27:43] leave The Squire back behind that thing
[27:45] is filled with all kinds of he gets
[27:48] contacted and supplied a replacement
[27:50] Squire and tries to put on a voice to
[27:52] trick the Brotherhood as to who they're
[27:53] speaking to this is night
[27:56] Titus over that voice doesn't sound like
[27:59] anything let alone Michael rapor I'm
[28:02] okay all good here what the [ __ ] are you
[28:05] trying to do anyway the Brotherhood send
[28:07] him a replacement and his reaction is to
[28:09] destroy his direct communication with
[28:11] them this is despite explicitly claiming
[28:14] his path to Redemption will be through
[28:16] getting the head to them meaning he will
[28:18] need to maintain contact [ __ ] the new
[28:22] Squire doesn't have any confirmation
[28:24] checks nor does he question why the
[28:25] comms are down for Titus literally one
[28:27] of those Raiders could be in the suit
[28:29] right now and he'd have no idea because
[28:30] the Brotherhood are inept all right now
[28:32] let's talk about this steel [ __ ] and
[28:34] his battle with a ghoul in which he gets
[28:36] his [ __ ] foot stuck in the floor how
[28:38] did a total [ __ ] such as yourself get
[28:41] past my defenses sorry no idiots of
[28:44] aloud we like good conversation here you
[28:46] can fly [ __ ] you kicked a rock
[28:49] so hard it destroyed a building you can
[28:51] absolutely step out from some wood how
[28:53] does a man in power armor lose a fist
[28:55] fight to a [ __ ] ghoul this fight was
[28:58] was horrible it was embarrassing why not
[29:00] have him be
[29:04] dumb all he had to do was crush the
[29:06] ghoul's head at any opportunity but no
[29:08] he kept throwing him around so then he
[29:10] bumps into a bunch of [ __ ] idiots
[29:12] trying to get into his armor and he
[29:14] fights them like he just decides I'm
[29:15] going to take you on One V whole group
[29:17] for some reason obviously he loses but
[29:19] they don't kill him how lucky so he
[29:22] comes back and the way they're going to
[29:24] beat him this time is that they're going
[29:26] to push him into his own Army so he can
[29:28] kill them what the [ __ ] are you doing
[29:30] Jasmine show our drooling friend the
[29:32] door please so he takes the identity of
[29:34] his Knight and he is sent a new Squire
[29:37] because of course his Knight is dead and
[29:39] he was The Squire you get what it do so
[29:41] he decides they need to get on the trail
[29:42] of the ghoul because these the one that
[29:44] will lead them likely to the Head they
[29:46] very cleverly point out they can follow
[29:48] the radiated Trail of the ghoul allers
[29:51] leave radiation Trails L the G to live
[29:54] you've made it possible to trace the
[29:55] whereabouts of the of the target you are
[29:57] in the radiated Wasteland you are
[30:00] surrounded by radiation what do you mean
[30:02] you're going to chase him through his
[30:04] radiated [ __ ] Trail oh lovely they've
[30:08] sent me a [ __ ] they eventually get the
[30:11] head because this show is [ __ ]
[30:13] Maximus then feels he might just tell
[30:16] his Squire that he's not actually a
[30:18] knight The Squire points out that the
[30:20] Brotherhood will probably kill him for
[30:22] this and since Maximus has not yet
[30:24] learned how to lie he fails miserably to
[30:26] explain himself [ __ ] up so much that
[30:28] he decides it's probably best to Simply
[30:31] kill his Squire yes this is real this
[30:34] show is [ __ ] real he manages to crush
[30:37] his foot underneath the foot of a power
[30:39] armor
[30:42] suit this however does not subdue his
[30:45] Squire who in turn manages to unscrew
[30:47] and remove his Fusion core it is so
[30:50] [ __ ] embarrassing and if you weren't
[30:52] already convinced of that Thaddius for
[30:54] some [ __ ] reason decided to not open
[30:58] the mask execute Maximus with his pistol
[31:00] pull out the body and use the power
[31:02] armor for himself this would certainly
[31:05] help the fact that he has trouble
[31:06] walking it would help with his carry
[31:08] load and it seems like he would be more
[31:10] than justified in doing so when Max
[31:12] killed his Knight and tried to kill him
[31:14] and he was going to leave him for dead
[31:16] anyway which I mean you might want to
[31:18] finish the job in case he escapes we
[31:20] also know that thus is absolutely
[31:22] motivated and willing to Kill Max as
[31:24] well as anyone who is standing next to
[31:26] him it's all so [ __ ] up you are either
[31:30] stupid or making fun of me either way I
[31:33] will not waste my time in any case
[31:35] Maximus is about to be eaten by Rad
[31:38] roaches everyone is happy about this
[31:40] finally the plot line can end only
[31:42] luckily for him Lucy happens to stumble
[31:44] into the scene and save his life it is
[31:46] absolutely and entirely a coincidence
[31:49] because she just happened to be in the
[31:50] area so Maximus and Lucy bump into
[31:53] fiends the two fiends shoot at Maximus
[31:55] point blank one of them misses one of
[31:57] them SHO shots him in the shoulder while
[31:59] he shooting after they have drawn
[32:01] manages to kill them both how lucky he
[32:03] then clearly shows they have clothing he
[32:06] could need knives he could need but nope
[32:08] he only takes the gun how the [ __ ]
[32:09] this accurate to fall out in any case
[32:11] because he's too cool to heal he's just
[32:13] going to let his bullet wound bleed like
[32:15] a [ __ ] upon coming close to bleeding
[32:17] out he happens to stumble across Vault 4
[32:20] with Lucy they heal them Supply them
[32:22] with antibiotics and every single
[32:24] Resource One could imagine needing what
[32:26] crazy and insane luck to have stumbled
[32:29] across something like this when you're
[32:30] bleeding out so old maxipad decides to
[32:33] have a shower eat some food relax watch
[32:36] some TV everything is fine which is
[32:39] weird when he's been trained by the
[32:40] Brotherhood of Steel for the majority of
[32:42] his life and he's surrounded by mutants
[32:44] you'd think he'd take issue but he seems
[32:47] very happy only later he spots Lucy's
[32:50] captured instead of discovering any
[32:52] context Maximus decides to go on a Todd
[32:54] rage and save Lucy when she is clearly
[32:56] [ __ ] fine try to imply he has to make
[32:59] the decision between his own comfort and
[33:01] Lucy's well-being as though this is
[33:03] development for him when he knows so
[33:04] little about what's happening that he
[33:06] has no reason to assume he's not next
[33:08] he's making the decision in this scene
[33:09] as though he's read the script and
[33:11] understands what the writers want him to
[33:12] think he's going through rather than
[33:14] what a person would actually think in
[33:16] this scenario it's so [ __ ] bad so
[33:18] upon exiting Vault 4 they decide to once
[33:21] again get back on the trail of The
[33:23] Squire The Squire with the head The
[33:25] Squire that was well ahead of them
[33:27] anyway The Squire that was calling in
[33:29] the Brotherhood they somehow catch back
[33:32] up to him imagine they were just 5
[33:35] minutes late the whole show would be
[33:37] over this is also where the Squire
[33:38] realizes he's a ghoul because the wacky
[33:40] Doctor Who fixed his foot turned him
[33:42] into a ghoul I guess in any case
[33:44] realizing he's a ghoul means that he can
[33:47] now not go back to the Brotherhood which
[33:48] means he's more than happy to submit the
[33:50] head to these two do you understand just
[33:53] how astronomical all of these [ __ ]
[33:55] coincidences are anyway Max decides the
[33:57] head will go to Lucy so she can get her
[33:59] dad back and the thus can get away he's
[34:02] just he's not going to talk about what
[34:04] happened to him so he ends up back at
[34:05] the Brotherhood for punishment keep in
[34:08] mind he's betrayed the Brotherhood
[34:10] several times including but not limited
[34:12] to the assumed violent [ __ ] up of the
[34:14] leg of a squire to prevent them from
[34:16] getting the position he then allowed his
[34:17] Knight to die and stole his identity and
[34:20] then lied about having the head to the
[34:22] whole brotherhood despite that being the
[34:24] one thing they really want and despite
[34:26] knowing where the actual one really is
[34:28] these betrayals would of course get him
[34:30] killed yeah well the leader guy says
[34:33] power is taken not given and you know
[34:36] what Maximus has clearly learned that
[34:40] and so if Maximus can complete the next
[34:42] mission he can rule with the old dude as
[34:44] his right hand man this has become so
[34:47] [ __ ] funny he injures a fellow
[34:49] Soldier and gets upgraded to Squire he
[34:51] watches his night bleed out and just
[34:53] takes his place he [ __ ] around in the
[34:55] whole Wasteland and then he lies to the
[34:57] whole Brotherhood and somehow achieves a
[34:59] promotion for the sake of the
[35:00] Brotherhood please listen him for the
[35:02] sake of the brother this [ __ ] lied and
[35:04] betrayed the brotherhood like three
[35:06] different times oh he just so happens to
[35:08] know exactly where what we need is the
[35:10] very moment he's about to be executed H
[35:13] oh I surely believe him now throw him in
[35:15] the [ __ ] Brig give us the location of
[35:17] the head and if you are telling the
[35:18] truth we might not kill you but that's
[35:21] for a world where things start to make
[35:23] sense in any case and for reasons I do
[35:26] not know how Maximus knows where moldava
[35:29] is and so he directs the Brotherhood of
[35:31] Steel over there there's a big war
[35:34] everyone dies and then he somehow ends
[35:37] up in a position where he's promoted
[35:39] again like I'm not even kidding Maximus
[35:42] fails miserably however he's seen as the
[35:46] one who killed the enemy leader this
[35:48] means that he gets to be a knight now he
[35:51] got [ __ ] promoted again what the [ __ ]
[35:55] what he just fails upward I guess guess
[35:57] it's good the writers wrote what they
[35:59] knew can't wait to see him in season 2
[36:02] what an interesting plotline filled with
[36:04] twists and turns and absolutely insane
[36:07] nonsense I assume I don't need to spend
[36:09] much time on this Maximus is a shite
[36:12] character a collection of random values
[36:14] and actions perir the scene he's
[36:16] currently occupying a pathetic
[36:18] exploration of an admittedly difficult
[36:19] toite character one whose self-centered
[36:22] and power hungry thanks to a history of
[36:24] understanding that the Brotherhood
[36:25] represents that very power he never had
[36:28] he likes the idea of being seen as the
[36:30] stalwart hero of the people but can't
[36:32] escape his selfish nature they awkwardly
[36:35] and wonky walk him through coffee
[36:37] stained photocopies of better scenes
[36:39] where in theory his ethics would be
[36:41] tested yet in actuality he continuously
[36:44] stumbles around with a scornful face
[36:46] until the story can come to a temporary
[36:48] end what an unlikable piece of [ __ ] his
[36:52] final significant Act was that of trying
[36:54] to help Lucy by sending the Brotherhood
[36:56] of Steel to the Observatory a place the
[36:59] Brotherhood then bombard with all kinds
[37:01] of artillery she could literally have
[37:03] died within the first 5 minutes of the
[37:05] assault and he doesn't seem to recognize
[37:07] that at all when making the decision in
[37:09] fact a good summary of Maximus as a
[37:11] character would be to describe events in
[37:12] episode one that his friend covers for
[37:15] him and treats him well while everyone
[37:16] else in the Brotherhood kicks the [ __ ]
[37:18] out of him and when that same friend
[37:20] gets promoted Maximus is so angry about
[37:23] it he screams at a toilet the sad part
[37:25] being Max's Elation and approval Ral of
[37:27] danne's injury meaning we can't even
[37:29] imagine he was angry that he'd be left
[37:31] alone he's literally just a pathetic
[37:33] jealous vacuum of potential he's
[37:36] actually just like Finn only where he
[37:38] was robbed of a trilogy's worth of
[37:39] development in favor of sing for raid
[37:42] Palpatine Max here was tanking his own
[37:44] Potential from the first second he had
[37:46] on screen [ __ ] Maximus he's a boring
[37:48] loser but hey with him out the way it'
[37:51] be nice to check out you know some some
[37:53] of the good characters right why not
[37:55] Lucy Everyone likes L Lucy great let's
[37:58] talk about Lucy once she leaves the
[37:59] Vault after that initial rid she ends up
[38:02] setting up at night with a fire lucky
[38:04] for her she happens to cross paths with
[38:06] the main man of the show The One
[38:09] everyone is after Mr Wiig he warns her
[38:12] how stupid it is to sleep with a fire
[38:14] out in the open at night when I would
[38:16] argue it's monumentally stupider for him
[38:18] to be sitting down next to her when he's
[38:20] the most Wanted Man in the Wasteland at
[38:22] that point he's very much not able to
[38:24] defend himself and he's carrying
[38:26] material that means open free and clean
[38:28] energy to the people of California he
[38:30] considers his mission to be of utmost
[38:32] importance and he's gambling it all on
[38:34] some lady he sees which kind of looks
[38:36] like it would be a trap but I mean
[38:38] writing is hard these days so shut the
[38:41] [ __ ] up I just want to point it out this
[38:42] man is directly connected to mava and
[38:45] that is the exact person that Lucy wants
[38:47] to see what a coincidence it doesn't
[38:49] matter we're moving on Lucy decides to
[38:51] check one place in one town and it just
[38:53] so happens to be the place that has been
[38:55] paid to protect Wilzig wow what a
[38:58] coincidence and she just so happened to
[39:00] meet him the prior night wow
[39:02] unfortunately for them the ghoul is
[39:04] sitting right outside and he wants
[39:06] Wilzig too for the Bounty oh no how
[39:11] inconvenient if only it had been
[39:13] literally any other store in any other
[39:16] town at any other time hell if only will
[39:19] zig had walked in through the back a
[39:21] gosh Dawn this just so happens to also
[39:24] be the time that Maximus arrives all of
[39:26] these events happening at exactly the
[39:29] same time are the whole reason anything
[39:30] happens in this show in any case she
[39:32] ends up having to take the head because
[39:35] Mr Wilzig kicks the bucket she settles
[39:37] down for the night with a fire after
[39:40] being advised not to because [ __ ] it oh
[39:42] and she passes an assaultron look it's
[39:44] an assaultron reference it has no
[39:47] relevance to anything it's references
[39:50] remember this and no story she is then
[39:52] sidetracked and attacked by a gulper you
[39:54] guys should seriously understand that
[39:56] Lucy was lucky as [ __ ] to have been
[39:57] attacked by this thing and not eaten
[39:59] whole when it has the same ninja Powers
[40:01] as the yau also had she simply walked by
[40:03] this area the ghoul would have caught up
[40:05] with her killed her taken the head and
[40:07] the show would have been over that gulp
[40:09] is Saving Lives the ghoul eventually
[40:11] catches up to her and they have a tussle
[40:13] she bites off his finger and so he cuts
[40:16] off hers I got that
[40:20] H bit me lucky for her just minutes
[40:24] later she gets a new finger from a Rob
[40:27] robot that wants to carve her up for
[40:28] organs anyway that makes sense you see
[40:31] the ghoul wants to trade her in for
[40:32] vials so that he doesn't go feral
[40:34] regardless she's strapped down at the
[40:36] arms but not the legs allowing her to
[40:39] escape with ease by somehow kicking the
[40:41] saw into her restraints to then [ __ ] up
[40:44] the robot with a defibrillator not sure
[40:46] that any of that works but whatever she
[40:49] then forces the release of ghouls who
[40:51] are kept in cages and are feral as a
[40:54] result of this everyone dies and she
[40:56] doesn't seem to realize it's her fault
[40:58] my name is Martha your name is Martha
[40:59] why did you say that she even kills one
[41:03] herself and doesn't deal well with that
[41:05] fact for about a minute and then it
[41:06] never comes up again the irony being
[41:08] that she provides vials to Mr ghoul
[41:11] outside without realizing that she could
[41:13] have given them to Martha who is like a
[41:15] ghoul inside instead of just shooting
[41:17] her it's amazing that Lucy just keeps
[41:20] winning Despite All Odds that she should
[41:22] lose at least she earns it right it's
[41:24] not like it's insane luck every single
[41:27] SLE [ __ ] time I didn't even mention
[41:29] the time that Maximus outran a [ __ ]
[41:31] bullet to save her not to mention the
[41:32] ghoul deciding not to kill her a million
[41:35] times in a row whereas he would have
[41:36] killed anyone else but I mean whatever
[41:38] she's quirky she's fun she's aloof she
[41:41] makes she's a funny decision I mean
[41:42] credit to the actor but the writing is
[41:44] horrendous oh for [ __ ] sake Lucy
[41:46] didn't even loot the super duper M man
[41:48] how do you forget to do that in a
[41:49] Fallout show she didn't grab up
[41:51] additional clothing water food ammo guns
[41:54] or even a [ __ ] bag for anything she
[41:56] might find but she sure did grab a
[41:58] reference something she drops in just
[42:00] over an episode without using remember
[42:03] this remember this remember this and no
[42:04] story oh she walks out of there like she
[42:06] owns the place and leaves every valuable
[42:09] resource to the next scavenger that'll
[42:11] simply waddle by anyway she's about to
[42:14] die from radiation but she stumbles
[42:16] across maximus in his suit pleased to
[42:18] make your acquaintance actually let's
[42:20] get the other bit of politeness taken
[42:21] care of shall we what the bloody bloody
[42:24] bloody hell are you doing here and she
[42:26] does this when he's about to die by
[42:29] being eaten by Rad roaches wait hang the
[42:31] [ __ ] on hold the [ __ ] phone this
[42:33] ain't even some big coincidence it's a
[42:35] good old gosh darn plot hole fadus left
[42:38] in the night with the head and Lucy is
[42:40] following the tracker she placed in the
[42:42] head she would then trace it to its
[42:44] realtime location meaning she should be
[42:47] far away and moving in a completely
[42:50] different direction how do you [ __ ] up
[42:52] so much in your stupid goddamn show I
[42:55] really want to believe you but
[42:57] practically every person I've met up
[42:58] here has tried to kill me woman this is
[43:01] the one man who took 25 bullets for you
[43:04] in
[43:11] Philly they have a conversation while he
[43:14] is tanking bullet after bullet for her
[43:17] how the [ __ ] does she not remember this
[43:19] she cited this and so they happily save
[43:23] each other by her releasing him from the
[43:25] suit and him providing her here right
[43:27] away so she bumps into the fiends with
[43:29] Maximus and then they end up in Vault 4
[43:31] because they're looking for a solution
[43:33] only Lucy's end of the story is that she
[43:35] spots that the people of Vault 4 drink
[43:38] blood and decorate themselves in the
[43:40] ashes of the Dead while saying blood
[43:42] must spill to bring Shady Sands back
[43:45] what did they mean by this now seriously
[43:47] what did you mean by the people who like
[43:48] the NCR and Shady Sands being obsessive
[43:51] naked blood drinking Ash bathing weirdos
[43:53] anyway she tells Maximus none of this
[43:55] while saying they should leave this is
[43:57] what we call [ __ ] she wasn't allowed
[43:59] on floor 12 and yet she went to floor 12
[44:03] where there was like horrible
[44:04] experiments and stuff it turns out the
[44:05] experiments aren't actually experiments
[44:07] they just they're trying to save people
[44:09] or something it just it looks really bad
[44:11] but it isn't actually that bad it
[44:13] doesn't really make any sense cuz of
[44:14] course why would you just tell people
[44:15] that's what's going on instead she
[44:16] assumes the whis and tries to stop them
[44:18] throws some acid in someone's face it's
[44:20] this whole thing anyway after all of
[44:21] this they decide they can just let them
[44:23] go like Lucy [ __ ] all of that up and
[44:25] then Maximus does the Todd rage thing
[44:27] where he breaks a bunch of [ __ ] he also
[44:29] happens to steal I'm not kidding about
[44:31] this steal their entire source of energy
[44:34] he just pops in in his power armor and
[44:36] he's like yeah it's mine now you'd think
[44:37] there'd be consequences for something
[44:39] like this but Vault for just let him go
[44:41] with their energy source I feel like I
[44:43] should explain the cosmic fuckdy that is
[44:46] Vault 4 at this point the gist of it is
[44:48] this Vault was run by scientists who
[44:50] believe they were the best fit for the
[44:52] head of society they ran unregulated
[44:54] experiments on their vault dwellers and
[44:56] eventually those same Vault dwellers
[44:58] killed the scientists ever since the
[45:00] future generations of those very
[45:02] experiments have now taken in any way
[45:04] with Souls passing by and falling into
[45:07] their traps they take care of them and
[45:09] they Supply them with anything they need
[45:11] the vault is actually filled with people
[45:13] who are extremely welcoming however they
[45:15] have a mysterious level 12 in which no
[45:18] one is allowed to go but anyone can
[45:20] enter in level 12 they have people
[45:22] recovering from the experiments
[45:24] conducted all those years ago and you
[45:25] know they have a little cult me to pray
[45:27] to mulva to recover Shady Sands because
[45:30] many refugees from that event came to
[45:31] live here and desperately want their
[45:34] home back they drink and bathe in blood
[45:36] while smothering themselves in ashes of
[45:38] the Dead while chanting bring back Sands
[45:42] blood
[45:45] must and somehow the denisons of Vault 4
[45:49] don't see what all of that and level 12
[45:51] would mean to someone with no context
[45:54] they punish Lucy for being terrified and
[45:57] trying to help people she thinks they're
[45:58] trying to hurt obviously the common
[46:00] counter for this is but they're [ __ ]
[46:02] which is actually a common defense for
[46:04] most of the characters in this show why
[46:06] not have them be dumb but it's uniquely
[46:08] frustrating in the case of Vault 4 with
[46:10] their understanding of the situation
[46:12] their great grandparents had to escape
[46:14] Horrors and as a result we are shown the
[46:17] people who remain understand the value
[46:19] of Social and humanitarian programs they
[46:21] save surface dwellers and they try to
[46:23] bring people destroyed by
[46:25] experimentation back to a quality of
[46:27] life for causing harm to a fellow
[46:29] Survivor you are hereby sentenced to
[46:32] death not a huge surprise when she's
[46:34] [ __ ] up a society without discovering
[46:36] more context I suppose unfortunate but
[46:39] there we are
[46:41] death by banishment to the surface I get
[46:46] this is fun for shows where the stakes
[46:47] go as far as being late for school or
[46:50] missing your first date or you get
[46:51] scenes where people misunderstand
[46:53] everything leading to a payoff like this
[46:55] but these people have been through back
[46:57] they know how social cues work they
[46:59] aren't trying to scare anyone which
[47:00] means the only real defense of Vault 4
[47:03] is that they are complete [ __ ] idiots
[47:05] kind of spits in the face of them
[47:07] overthrowing scientists it also makes
[47:09] you wonder how they've gotten this far
[47:10] when they're so easy to take advantage
[47:12] of mulva and her group of Raiders could
[47:15] easily have taken Vault 4 if they
[47:16] stumbled into it and the world is filled
[47:19] with plenty of groups like that it's a
[47:21] bit odd to portray them somewhat Savvy
[47:23] in human interaction health and security
[47:25] to then do the opposite of that straight
[47:27] away I mean it's funny how the peaceful
[47:29] loving understanding people of Vault 4
[47:31] grab a [ __ ] Harpoon the second a
[47:34] person who's been experimented on might
[47:35] have gotten out of their cage it
[47:37] definitely matches their approach and
[47:39] their characters and it's not at all a
[47:40] thing that happened to bait and switch
[47:42] the audience why do they not have
[47:43] Security on their entire Energy System
[47:46] why would you reward people with freedom
[47:47] and two we supplies when they actively
[47:49] try to sabotage your Society why tie her
[47:52] up why have a rig a rooll of a ceremony
[47:54] and word everything in such a way that a
[47:55] person being punished would believe they
[47:57] are about to die when that is entirely
[47:59] the opposite of your intentions why
[48:00] wouldn't they show newcomers what they
[48:02] do on level 12 instead of letting people
[48:04] stumble across it I already know yeah
[48:06] they're [ __ ] that's how this whole
[48:08] show Works everyone we've just met is
[48:10] now a complete joke despite the
[48:12] histories they share nothing that took
[48:14] place meant anything for both weight and
[48:16] consequence outside of a small hiccup
[48:18] our characters made decisions that they
[48:20] should reckon with but don't and it's
[48:22] all because this was like a side mission
[48:25] in a video game and S attire apparently
[48:27] means tossing [ __ ] at a wall this
[48:29] defensive and reflexive shutdown of
[48:31] Standards means the show no longer
[48:33] requires dramatic weight consideration
[48:35] or consequence once the plot line is
[48:38] over and the writers want to do
[48:39] something else we can pull the its
[48:41] satire card and be done with it and I
[48:43] think we all know that if this show
[48:45] actually behaved just like a video game
[48:47] with characters walking around like NPCs
[48:50] or experiencing loading screens or
[48:52] choosing to enter prior saves it would
[48:54] not be considered a boon to the
[48:56] experience
[48:57] that would destroy the already very
[48:59] crippled TV show Stakes turns out they
[49:02] are different mediums it also turns out
[49:05] it's much more complicated as to what
[49:06] the correct decisions are when balancing
[49:08] tone and maintaining stakes in an
[49:10] adaptation but you throwing enough
[49:12] references and it doesn't matter anymore
[49:14] that's why they're willing to let the
[49:15] whole society die with the two newcomers
[49:17] leaving Lucy convinces Maximus to give
[49:20] back the power source though so I guess
[49:22] there's that do you know Maximus only
[49:23] has the power armor here because the
[49:25] people of Vault 4 picked it up and we
[49:27] found his armor our surface foragers are
[49:29] bringing it back now how the [ __ ] did
[49:30] you find that armor how did you know it
[49:33] belonged to Maximus which is funny cuz
[49:35] it Doesn't how the [ __ ] did you move it
[49:37] back and move it back so fast the thing
[49:39] weighs tons why are you so invested in
[49:42] getting it back to him why did any of
[49:44] this insane [ __ ] happen because we
[49:46] don't do consequence
[49:49] here so Lucy's all about doing good
[49:51] deeds right and she finds out that
[49:53] Maximus L A man bleed to death and he
[49:55] took his armor when he was sworn to
[49:57] protect him he was threatening me so
[49:59] instead of helping him I watched him die
[50:00] he mentions he was threatening him but
[50:02] he also rejects the idea that he's a
[50:03] good man which is correct I mean part of
[50:06] why this is so frustrating is that he
[50:07] just lies to her probably should have
[50:09] put this in the Maximus portion but [ __ ]
[50:11] it he aims the gun and doesn't shoot he
[50:13] aims again and doesn't shoot he then
[50:14] thinks about aiming and doesn't shoot he
[50:16] then aims and doesn't shoot yet again he
[50:19] then watches as his Knight is being torn
[50:21] apart by the stupid [ __ ] yaay clearly
[50:23] thinking about how happy he would be if
[50:25] he could just get into that suit he
[50:27] absolutely chose to abandon his Knight
[50:29] to the yau leading to his death well
[50:31] before he threatened him and besides in
[50:34] actuality the threat Titus gives him is
[50:36] just a description of the repercussions
[50:38] the Brotherhood will have for Maximus
[50:39] thanks to his inaction during that
[50:41] sequence the same Brotherhood that Lucy
[50:44] says Maximus should follow the values of
[50:46] the show thinks Maximus was not only
[50:48] telling the truth here but that he's
[50:50] developing as a person and getting some
[50:51] repercussions for his actions you know
[50:54] taking accountability which he's
[50:55] absolutely not doing he lies and then
[50:58] the show has Lucy equate her experiences
[51:00] with his just threw acid in an innocent
[51:02] man's face the Wasteland sucks yeah
[51:05] absolute [ __ ] to get back to Lucy though
[51:08] it is a problem that she doesn't care
[51:10] it's like one of the most obvious ways
[51:11] to have had an interesting conflict but
[51:13] they just have her not care about it at
[51:15] all she doesn't want to know any more
[51:16] context she just wants to move on they
[51:18] made it clear that she appreciates
[51:20] context when judging conflict but I
[51:22] guess she doesn't anymore especially
[51:24] since she gives up on it entirely when
[51:26] it comes to malava but we'll get to that
[51:29] instead of her pursuing more information
[51:31] she says oh I threw some acid in an
[51:34] innocent man's face the Wasteland sucks
[51:36] as if what she did is even remotely
[51:38] close when she was under the impression
[51:40] for good reason that these people were
[51:42] being experimented on against their will
[51:44] meanwhile Maximus just wanted more power
[51:46] it's pretty boring lame and totally not
[51:48] in her character but whatever let's go
[51:50] so Lucy and Maximus end up with thus
[51:53] like I said I cannot understate just how
[51:55] incredibly [ __ ] lucky these idiot monges
[51:57] saw throughout the whole show but
[51:59] whatever it's fun fun fun fun so after
[52:00] they split up she enters the observatory
[52:03] safe house and sees It's a Wonderful
[52:05] Refuge where everyone is safe and happy
[52:07] a lot is revealed that we can go over in
[52:09] a moment and she realizes her dad is a
[52:12] bad man though she manages to watch her
[52:14] dad open up power armor and toss out a
[52:16] dead man while jumping in even though
[52:18] it's the one thing she absolutely would
[52:20] not want him to be able to do like this
[52:21] whole thing happened right in front of a
[52:23] field of view what are you doing anyway
[52:25] Lucy by the end of the season has no
[52:26] clue what the [ __ ] she's doing and has
[52:28] to rethink basically all of everything
[52:30] but she did say okey doie which made it
[52:32] all worth it outside of the obvious
[52:34] being Ella Pell is an awesome actress
[52:36] let's talk about this character I may
[52:38] end up looking like
[52:42] you I'll never be like you when looking
[52:45] back you can see exactly what the plan
[52:47] was for Lucy she's meant to be the aloof
[52:49] naive fish out of water moving through
[52:51] the world with fun reactions to all
[52:53] kinds of silly and serious events
[52:55] eventually she'll learn the world is
[52:57] Harsh and cruel and she'll need to
[53:00] become a killer there you are you little
[53:07] killer we see a lot of this throughout
[53:10] exemplified by her compliance in almost
[53:12] everything Vault related but the
[53:14] progression is entirely wonky and often
[53:17] times a straightforward assassination
[53:19] you can't have the fish out of water
[53:21] girl who is naive on every single event
[53:24] in the show while also having her
[53:26] starting scenes be that of a deep and
[53:29] horrifying event in the totality of her
[53:32] first interaction with people from
[53:33] Beyond The Vault she witnesses her
[53:35] lifelong friends and family getting
[53:38] horrifically attacked and murdered on
[53:40] top of her father getting kidnapped and
[53:42] all of that after sleeping with a man
[53:44] claiming to be someone he wasn't right
[53:46] before he tries to kill her this has
[53:48] almost no effect on her approach to
[53:50] anything she talks to everyone as though
[53:52] they'll be very cordial and friendly
[53:55] including but not limited to a man who's
[53:56] actually killing people right in front
[53:58] of her just before she speaks to him not
[54:00] entirely dissimilar in style to what she
[54:02] previously experienced you have that you
[54:04] have the impact of a chopped off finger
[54:06] being entirely forgotten in just an
[54:08] episode you have a missing out on
[54:09] several opportunities when it comes to
[54:11] standard interactions and her attitude
[54:13] in general you have this girl this
[54:15] bubbly fun girl from a world where
[54:17] violence is as rare as a birth she's
[54:20] happily holding a severed human head and
[54:22] chatting with it not long after simply
[54:24] deciding that yes she will SE it off
[54:26] it's a fun performance but it's nowhere
[54:29] near the behavior you develop when
[54:31] having lived this person's life nor is
[54:33] it representative of that person having
[54:34] experienced the trauma that she did
[54:36] Lucy's awkward demeanor is highlighted
[54:38] by even her fellow Vault dwellers and
[54:40] stands in direct opposition to the much
[54:42] more normal disposition and attitude of
[54:44] her father the man who would have had
[54:46] the biggest influence in her development
[54:48] people try to explain her by saying
[54:50] she's a vault dweller when she can come
[54:51] across as strange even to them her
[54:54] reactions to every one of the people she
[54:55] loves and has lived with for years
[54:57] getting murdered is very restrained in
[55:00] the opening I understand they did this
[55:02] deliberately I think it's a mistake they
[55:04] won't let her portray a more powerful
[55:06] set of emotions as her life is being
[55:08] destroyed in front of her eyes it's
[55:10] downright awkward when her father is
[55:12] drowning a man in front of her she's
[55:14] like oh well she watches a friend get
[55:17] his neck torn out and she doesn't seem
[55:19] to care all that much about him the time
[55:21] they allow Ella a chance to show what
[55:23] she can do emotionally is when her
[55:25] father gets kidnapped probably one of
[55:26] the best few isolated seconds of the
[55:29] entire show you are my
[55:35] world but this stands in opposition to
[55:38] her prior emotional engagement and it
[55:40] continues in her incredibly subdued
[55:42] reaction to the world for the first time
[55:44] she sees it as far as she knows anyway
[55:47] witnessing a landscape outside of the
[55:49] Vault a horizon the sky the insane
[55:52] nature of this Wasteland I feel like we
[55:54] had better reactions from Rebecca
[55:55] Ferguson in Silo and she was only
[55:57] looking at pictures of the outside world
[55:59] and this issue permeates through to the
[56:01] smallest of stuff like how Lucy will
[56:03] walk by a Brahman and just sort of smile
[56:05] it should already be special to her as a
[56:08] cow but it has two heads she'll show
[56:10] less emotion when seeing people murdered
[56:12] than when she decides to help out
[56:16] Wilzig gosh damn it okay her curiosity
[56:20] and shock are incredibly selective and
[56:22] I'm inclined to believe it was entirely
[56:24] a direction problem because I know what
[56:26] she's capable of and some of the
[56:28] reactions are just strange and it makes
[56:30] it so much harder to take any of the
[56:32] heartache she experiences seriously we
[56:34] don't see any kind of emotionally
[56:36] charged decisions representative of the
[56:38] trauma she sustained instead she
[56:40] continues to behave as the Lucy
[56:41] archetype they built in episode 1 until
[56:44] the finale realization it's not about
[56:46] her continuous reference to do unto
[56:48] others as you would have them do unto
[56:50] you it's about how she continuously gets
[56:52] taken advantage of and surprised when
[56:54] she simply doesn't have the back story
[56:56] to support it the show wants you to
[56:58] think she has it but you need to Simply
[57:00] remember what's happened to her I
[57:01] assumed she had at least learned
[57:03] something by the time of reaching
[57:04] Maximus but those assumptions were
[57:06] dashed when her willingness to trust the
[57:08] fiends rather than keeping a gun trained
[57:10] on them almost costs Maximus his life
[57:12] especially when he warned her
[57:14] excessively Lucy will actively baffle me
[57:16] in that she will explain just how much
[57:18] she absolutely cannot bring herself to
[57:20] kill the ghoul or leave him to die you
[57:23] see those actions would be outside of
[57:24] her ethical system all right gotcha but
[57:27] then not seen later she has to be
[57:29] convinced to save a man who is not only
[57:31] offering to save her life but has taken
[57:33] as many as 25 bullets for her previously
[57:36] Maximus is a [ __ ] but she has no reason
[57:39] to think he's anything other than a
[57:41] saint and so Lucy's ethical system will
[57:43] dictate that she will save the mass
[57:45] murdering ghoul in a heartbeat but when
[57:47] it comes to a man who saved her life and
[57:50] is currently suffering while offering to
[57:52] save her life again well apparently
[57:54] she's going to need some convincing for
[57:56] that one Lucy often gets reset because
[57:58] they don't want to lose the bubbly
[58:00] nature until we're closer to the end she
[58:02] went through something more horrific
[58:03] than many wastelanders have they utterly
[58:06] squander the characterization and it's
[58:07] propped up as something special we
[58:09] missed out on one of the only
[58:10] interesting conflicts of morality she
[58:12] could have had with Maximus cuz the
[58:14] writers didn't know how to handle it and
[58:15] then she swallows hookline and sinker
[58:17] the entire story Mula feeds to her which
[58:20] is probably my biggest problem with how
[58:22] they wrote this character Lucy is now
[58:24] looking at the woman who is respons ible
[58:26] for the death of many of her lifelong
[58:28] friends and family what she hears from
[58:30] Mula about her interests don't come
[58:32] [ __ ] close to being representative of
[58:34] her actions in the vault she could have
[58:36] dropped a necklace on a random ghoul she
[58:38] can easily lie about Lucy's father in
[58:40] any way shape and form ultimately Lucy
[58:43] has no clue nor reason to believe any of
[58:45] this yet she buys in fully a huge
[58:48] betrayal of the way they built her
[58:49] throughout they imply her connection to
[58:51] her mother is stronger than with her
[58:53] father this is despite the fact that she
[58:55] spent the vast majority of her life with
[58:57] her father and not her mother it's
[58:59] actually extremely annoying that Lucy is
[59:01] convinced by such a shitty story you see
[59:04] her mother realized there was a
[59:05] civilization outside because their water
[59:08] was being siphoned off when that can be
[59:10] explained easily by a loss of water
[59:12] through damage through someone siphoning
[59:14] it from within the Vault or through some
[59:16] animals getting at it in fact there are
[59:18] countless explanations before thinking
[59:20] Humanity has reemerged besides the show
[59:23] supports that she was correct but Vault
[59:25] 33 is in the middle of a wasteland
[59:27] desert there's no town for Miles who is
[59:30] actually siphoning the water what was
[59:32] happening and even if it were happening
[59:34] Hank was absolutely right do not wander
[59:36] the [ __ ] radiated Wasteland to Simply
[59:39] check if there are people outside and if
[59:42] you decide you have to you need to
[59:44] confirm it's safe do not randomly
[59:47] endanger the children are you insane in
[59:51] any case if Rose truly believed there
[59:53] were people outside that she just had to
[59:55] get to then why does nobody else in the
[59:57] vault know this story why is it that
[59:59] Rose would have left with the two kids
[60:01] and not told anyone about this
[60:02] incredible news would she not convince
[60:05] them as part of the goal of the Vault
[60:07] that they need to get out there and
[60:08] restart civilization wouldn't she at
[60:10] least leave them a note nobody should be
[60:13] buying this story and it's a Pity Lucy
[60:15] does though not the only instance
[60:18] considering she also bought the story
[60:19] from Vault 4 after a few seconds of
[60:21] explanation and a contextless clip it's
[60:24] as though despite her stating other wise
[60:26] that she has no idea people can lie
[60:28] she's also supposed to be so Adept at
[60:31] conflict deescalation along with
[60:33] experiencing some of the worst pieces of
[60:35] [ __ ] in the Wasteland I guess she didn't
[60:37] listen to the ghouls advice as what
[60:39] people say they
[60:41] did and what they really did somehow
[60:44] we're now at a point where people who
[60:45] spend the entire show dead are being
[60:47] assassinated as well look if you want to
[60:49] have it so that she realizes she can't
[60:51] even trust her father as some kind of
[60:53] Arc you can't have it so that mava the
[60:55] Hy murderer convinces her he's a piece
[60:57] of [ __ ] that doesn't make any [ __ ]
[61:00] sense and it's indicative of the
[61:02] absolute laziness of this script and no
[61:04] I'm not even in the adjacent dimension
[61:06] of accepting Lucy unlocked all of her
[61:09] memories and realized the truth when she
[61:11] saw mother ghoul as an explanation when
[61:13] it comes to something this important you
[61:15] cannot rely on your garbled perspective
[61:18] of your own early childhood memories
[61:20] especially when someone you absolutely
[61:22] cannot trust who has a vested interest
[61:24] in you joining her side is manipulating
[61:26] you and what a convenience that the
[61:28] six-year-old simply didn't remember any
[61:30] of it before now consequently it would
[61:33] have gotten in the way of the story
[61:34] otherwise but of course they then later
[61:36] have Cal mclin confirm it all through
[61:38] just the shittiest dialogue they rushed
[61:41] the end and as a result Lucy is just a
[61:42] tool of the writers to encourage a sense
[61:45] of haha Fish Out of Water but oh wow
[61:47] deep character realizes father bad wow
[61:50] oh boy this Wasteland is tough but hey
[61:52] that's okay we haven't gotten to the
[61:54] best character yet have we the
[61:56] if we fast forward to when he's in the
[61:57] town it's so strange that he's willing
[61:59] to attack basically everybody when if
[62:01] they get one shot in his head he's just
[62:03] dead which by the way is very easy for
[62:05] anyone to pull off but they don't it's
[62:07] kind of crazy because he just shoots
[62:09] everybody but when it comes to Lucy no
[62:11] no no no he'll consider He he'll think
[62:13] about it which is odd considering his
[62:15] history you'd think Vault dwellers are
[62:17] not exactly people he cares about that
[62:19] much I mean we see him try to kill her
[62:21] several times it's just that whenever he
[62:23] has a chance to actually do it he
[62:24] doesn't in any case after Mr Maximus
[62:26] tanks the shot for Lucy Mr ghoul over
[62:29] here decides he's not going to stop I
[62:31] was trying to count it in the scene I
[62:32] think he fires nearly 30 rounds at the
[62:35] power armor it's absolutely [ __ ] nuts
[62:37] mainly because they don't do anything
[62:39] the only reason he has a chance at
[62:41] surviving this fight is because Maximus
[62:43] is [ __ ] and he gets his foot stuck
[62:45] though it is curious that the ghoul
[62:46] wants to defeat maximus in a one-on-one
[62:48] and spends 30 shots on him not killing
[62:51] him it's almost as though he's unaware
[62:53] of a very obvious weak spot that he
[62:54] could take advantage of seriously he
[62:56] keeps chucking him instead of crushing
[62:57] his head so anyway when catching up to
[63:00] Lucy she's accidentally had the head get
[63:02] eaten by some giant fish thing this
[63:04] means the ghoul tries to use hair as
[63:06] bait to get the fish up so he can try
[63:08] and get access to the Head oi you
[63:10] [ __ ] goober are you aware that bait
[63:12] is supposed to be on the hook for this
[63:14] to work oh wait we can't do it that way
[63:16] cuz Lucy would have died unless you luck
[63:18] out and it just eats the hook how the
[63:20] [ __ ] you strong enough to pull that out
[63:22] of the water what unfortunately because
[63:24] he's a hyper [ __ ] he leaves his vials
[63:27] in his bag next to the girl next to the
[63:30] monster like look at this shot here he's
[63:31] left his bag which has all the material
[63:33] that prevents him from going feral right
[63:35] in the middle of the fight between the
[63:37] girl and the giant fish so unfortunately
[63:39] the vials get destroyed my goodness what
[63:43] sudden and dilapidating retardation
[63:45] maybe he would have had better luck if
[63:47] he just shot the [ __ ] thing with his
[63:49] gun instead of trying to poke it there
[63:51] wouldn't be any concern of damaging the
[63:53] head when he's a sharpshooter and
[63:55] there's a a difference between this
[63:56] thing's head and its stomach however
[63:58] lucky for him when he trades the girl
[64:00] for vials she does that whole insane
[64:02] escape and then she provides vials to
[64:05] him he gets enough so that he can
[64:07] actually get into the Super mod and take
[64:09] advantage of a full chest of vials he
[64:11] starts putting them in his [ __ ] hat
[64:13] just take the chest anyway he sleeps for
[64:15] just too long and gets knocked out and
[64:17] kidnapped by people who want him dead
[64:19] though he doesn't die
[64:21] because they're [ __ ] yay you did yes
[64:26] why not have him be dumbb the lucky [ __ ]
[64:28] is then allowed to sew his finger back
[64:30] on and then they try to kill him and he
[64:32] somehow escapes
[64:34] because what can I even say the funny
[64:36] thing is they want to kill him for what
[64:38] he did at the super duper Mt but he he
[64:40] didn't do it he could have said he
[64:42] didn't do it there was nothing to lose
[64:43] it almost comes across as him covering
[64:45] for Lucy but he could just make up a
[64:47] person that attacked the place he could
[64:49] you know lie and say he stumbled in
[64:51] after which is actually partially true
[64:54] it felt like there was nothing that was
[64:55] going to drag him into the main story
[64:57] again so they had to just spawn these
[64:59] guys and spawn them they did and kill
[65:01] them he did only to then spot a wanted
[65:04] poster of mulva someone he recognizes
[65:07] from his past but then why the [ __ ] is
[65:09] this the first time he's seeing this
[65:11] he's a bounty hunter she's famous you're
[65:13] telling me he gets woken up and
[65:15] discovers as much information as he can
[65:17] on a bounty that was spread across six
[65:19] agencies but he's never come across Mula
[65:22] AR we told several times that she's like
[65:25] world famous this is the first he's come
[65:27] AC okay whatever fine he then somehow
[65:30] found and killed Rufus a man who was
[65:32] sent by molda to pay Tommy who he then
[65:35] also found to find out where Mula is the
[65:38] ghoul then kills Tommy because Tommy
[65:41] wanted retribution for his brother
[65:42] something the ghoul predicted but then
[65:45] he turns his back and slowly walks away
[65:47] from the father whose Sons he just
[65:49] killed I guess there's no worry of
[65:51] Retribution there the next significant
[65:53] time we see him he kills a whole
[65:55] Battalion of Brotherhood including three
[65:58] power armor suits by hitting them in
[65:59] their weak spots the way they edit it
[66:01] you'd be forgiven for thinking he killed
[66:03] like seven of them absolutely sad and
[66:06] pathetic if you're so good at killing
[66:08] them why'd you waste 30 shots on Maximus
[66:11] and don't give me that [ __ ] about
[66:12] armor piercing rounds [ __ ]
[66:14] clearly has those same rounds in Philly
[66:16] and even if he didn't why did he then
[66:18] retardedly spend 30 shots on Armor he
[66:20] knows he can't penetrate it's not like
[66:22] ammo is precious in the Wasteland anyway
[66:25] the ghoul has Hank on the ropes and
[66:27] chooses not to shoot him in the weak
[66:28] spot instead grazing him in the face
[66:31] when this is lampshaded as antithetical
[66:32] he says he's going to follow him like a
[66:34] stuck pig which first of all is not how
[66:37] he's done anything in this season but
[66:39] second why not get your answers now how
[66:42] the [ __ ] you going to follow him you
[66:43] didn't shoot him with a Tracker you
[66:45] grazed his face which takes us to the
[66:47] end of this season for the ghoul he's
[66:49] going to chase Hank and he's going to
[66:50] take Lucy with him now for some reason
[66:52] he's also got dog meat like if I was to
[66:54] trace this story he stabs the dog to
[66:57] death he then stimpacks it back to life
[66:59] he then ditches it at the spooky monster
[67:02] head sequence which doesn't make any
[67:04] sense they want me convinced the dog
[67:06] will follow him this far but then she
[67:08] just decides to stop as he slowly walks
[67:10] away after the giant fish pot regardless
[67:12] the ghoul then picks the dog back up
[67:14] because he coincidentally stumbles
[67:16] across here in a nacac cola coola thingy
[67:18] I assume from there the dog will be His
[67:20] companion in season 2 but like did the
[67:22] writers watch the show the dog was
[67:24] brought up in entirely by Wilzig she
[67:27] would have loved him more than anything
[67:28] entirely as loyal and as passionate as
[67:30] one would expect a dog to be the ghoul
[67:32] injured the hell out of Wilzig and the
[67:34] dog attacked him for it he get the stab
[67:37] he then provides the instant heal which
[67:38] she's not going to understand and she
[67:40] doesn't continue attacking the guy
[67:42] [ __ ] stabbed her shot her master the
[67:45] dog would not show trust or loyalty to
[67:48] the [ __ ] ghoul the worst part is how
[67:50] the dog doesn't seem to give a single
[67:52] [ __ ] about wiig's well-being she just
[67:54] moves along to team up with the ghoul
[67:56] none of this is emotionally satisfying
[67:58] and none of it makes any sense I think
[68:00] there was an idea of the dog following
[68:02] wiig's sent to his body hence the
[68:04] ghoul's reaction here to now having a
[68:06] lead only that falls apart because if it
[68:08] were true he obviously would have caught
[68:10] up to Luc and Wilzig considering how
[68:12] ridiculously slow they were moving
[68:14] instead they show them leaving at
[68:16] nighttime why that means they waited so
[68:19] long they didn't leave until Wilzig had
[68:21] died if the dog wanted to find her
[68:23] master then why is she not only not
[68:25] attacking the ghoul but waiting around
[68:28] for him they even want you to think the
[68:29] ghoul is using the dog to find the head
[68:31] through her interest in following Wiig
[68:33] scent in episode 7 the scent of this
[68:36] [ __ ] head I feel like they knew they
[68:38] just had to have a dog and didn't give a
[68:40] [ __ ] to write anything for here because
[68:41] people like dogs and it's a reference to
[68:43] dog meat and that's enough just more
[68:45] wasted potential anyway the ghoul is
[68:47] just carried by Walton Goggins everyone
[68:49] knows that it's got nothing to do with
[68:51] his journey or how it's written he's a
[68:53] guy who can make a scene work no matter
[68:55] how much stupid [ __ ] is happening in it
[68:56] I am genuinely thankful he made the show
[68:58] more bearable and let's be honest it's
[69:00] hard to assassinate someone like the
[69:01] ghoul because he just does anything
[69:03] anyway there's not many actions he can
[69:05] take that someone can say is
[69:06] definitively out of character but
[69:08] believe me before the series is over
[69:10] they will find a way personally I
[69:11] couldn't give less of a [ __ ] if he finds
[69:13] his family but then I struggle to care
[69:15] about anyone in this show maybe I'll
[69:17] find substance in Cooper we'll get to
[69:19] him soon enough the ghoul however is
[69:21] hollow entertainment something I welcome
[69:24] in this bog I'm just happy to see Walton
[69:26] goggin shooting people in great makeup
[69:28] while acting you probably get two
[69:29] worthwhile scenes the first being his
[69:32] reflection on his past and future though
[69:33] this did feel like a scene that could
[69:35] have come up in any episode at any time
[69:36] it's essentially a meaning freebie to
[69:38] bank whenever you want to have the ghoul
[69:40] watch his past self play a character
[69:42] that would have killed his current self
[69:43] in a heartbeat to reflect on his
[69:46] corruption as a moment it is solid then
[69:48] there's the scene of him shooting his
[69:49] friend and eating his flesh the text
[69:51] being he just shot him to eat him the
[69:53] subtext being he just saved his friend
[69:55] from a horrible fate and is ultimately
[69:57] being pragmatic about eating him even
[69:59] giving him something good to think about
[70:01] before killing him obviously reflecting
[70:03] on his own potential fate still he could
[70:05] have been so much more but in a show
[70:07] with characters either entirely lacking
[70:09] potential or ending up inconsistent When
[70:11] comparing almost every connecting scene
[70:13] I find it refreshing that they managed
[70:15] to make one that is universally liked
[70:16] through essentially the Bass Performance
[70:18] they didn't even have to write much of a
[70:20] story and to be honest the ghoul doesn't
[70:23] really have one but maybe he will in in
[70:25] season 2 so yeah those are the three
[70:27] main characters the stories are mostly
[70:29] them bouncing around random [ __ ]
[70:31] happening Until the End suddenly arrives
[70:34] their choices what few there are seem to
[70:36] be a bit of a lottery and you can see
[70:38] it's not so much they want to tell a
[70:40] story with three characters going on
[70:42] Journeys it's more so that you just want
[70:43] to have stuff happen to these people
[70:46] random stuff just keep having random
[70:48] [ __ ] happen because at some point
[70:51] someone might realize nothing's
[70:52] happening we could talk about Lucy's
[70:54] brother he's another character I suppose
[70:57] his name was grimy he stayed in the
[70:59] vault and he was demoted for being
[71:01] Reckless with the door he seemed
[71:03] suspicious of stuff he went over to
[71:05] Vault 32 which has not been secured by
[71:08] Betty despite her knowing the truth but
[71:10] then again maybe she didn't in fact
[71:13] what's incredibly odd about the entire
[71:15] scenario is the utter disinterest shown
[71:17] by Vault 33 as to the situation in Vault
[71:19] 32 you'd think that after the raid
[71:21] they'd be interested in getting to Vault
[71:23] 32 as fast as possible to confirm the
[71:25] front vault door is closed and secured
[71:28] that was something that in the council
[71:29] scene they seemed passionately
[71:31] interested in you'd think they'd be
[71:32] interested in collecting The Pit Boys
[71:34] considering they all act as keys to the
[71:36] Vault doors for some reason and maybe
[71:37] they'd want to secure the Armory you'd
[71:39] think they'd want to just be a tiny bit
[71:41] invested in checking to see if anyone is
[71:43] alive in there perhaps hiding perhaps
[71:45] they need to deal with the dead it's
[71:47] honestly bizarre that none of them want
[71:49] to check to see what happened I mean the
[71:51] water chip gets broken and for some
[71:53] reason nobody including smart boy grimy
[71:56] suggests using the water chip from Vault
[71:58] 32 but like you know they're [ __ ]
[72:00] right that's why all of this definitely
[72:02] makes sense though considering the
[72:05] nature of both Betty and Harper did they
[72:07] know was there any interest from Betty
[72:10] or Bud as to what the [ __ ] happened in
[72:11] there with no contact for so long I
[72:14] suppose I'll have to continue on with
[72:15] both the idea of Betty knowing and not
[72:17] knowing at the same time in any case all
[72:20] of what happened in Vault 32 could have
[72:21] been revealed but it just isn't if
[72:24] anybody ask what we we're all have a
[72:25] heart attack like it's really strange
[72:27] that he goes over there and discovers
[72:29] that everyone's been dead for way longer
[72:31] than they could have been if the Raiders
[72:32] had killed them all you've got to do at
[72:34] that point is you know tell everyone and
[72:36] that easily could have happened even
[72:38] with Betty knowing that was a potential
[72:40] but whatever they weren't lucky enough
[72:41] to discover the truth because the people
[72:43] who died in 32 only scrolled we know the
[72:47] truth and we know what's in there in
[72:50] Blood on the walls like what kind of
[72:52] [ __ ] discovers the truth and then with
[72:55] the goal of informing we know the truth
[72:58] on the walls what the [ __ ] is wrong with
[73:00] you of course you killed yourself so
[73:02] anyway grimy knows something weird is
[73:04] going on and it was prompted by the way
[73:06] because a Raider said hey you know what
[73:08] the Vault 32 people weren't so innocent
[73:11] he heard that and then just like didn't
[73:13] ask him a bunch of further questions you
[73:15] I would personally ask him a bunch of
[73:17] questions so anyway then Vault 32 is
[73:19] like cleaned up in a day What A
[73:22] Difference A Day Made even grimy doesn't
[73:25] know how the [ __ ] they pulled that off
[73:27] Betty and Hopper couldn't have done it
[73:28] on their own we see no Mr handies in any
[73:30] of the vaults and if it was Bud that
[73:32] sorted it all out I think we're all
[73:33] wondering how the [ __ ] that would be
[73:34] possible obviously now he's very sus he
[73:37] even asks about his mother's pit boy
[73:39] because that was used to ENT to Vault 32
[73:41] this by the way is not worrying enough
[73:43] to Betty like she doesn't think grimy is
[73:45] compromised even though asking about
[73:47] that is like it's very obvious that he's
[73:49] discovered something in fact I'd argue
[73:51] it's downright out of character for him
[73:52] to have asked such an incriminating
[73:54] question to the the person he's quite
[73:56] suspicious of when there's no real
[73:57] reason he would expect to get any
[73:58] information that would be useful to him
[74:00] at all also the Raiders get poisoned so
[74:02] there's no more getting information from
[74:04] them or using them as proof so then
[74:06] Betty splits Vault 33 into two she sends
[74:09] the other half to Vault 32 when knowing
[74:12] Bud's plan this is bizarre there are
[74:15] just 35 people left after all the death
[74:18] and destruction with as many as five
[74:20] Beyond a viable age that means bud has
[74:23] 15 people per vol to restart their
[74:26] populations there is no option here
[74:29] other than Reawakening many managers I
[74:31] suppose that's a problem for season 2
[74:34] something season 1 didn't deal with
[74:36] however is Betty and Bud's decision not
[74:39] to pursue Hank when his knowledge not
[74:41] only allows their key competition to
[74:42] unlock Infinite Energy but that she's at
[74:44] least somewhat aware of their operations
[74:47] and intent but they seem to think that's
[74:49] all fine and they can continue as normal
[74:52] that's a bit weird why don't they just
[74:54] nuke the the NCR again considering the
[74:56] characters as written that would solve
[74:58] all of their problems have them be dumb
[75:00] anyway grimy decides to Simply hack into
[75:03] the overseer's account and discuss
[75:04] things with the overseer of Vault 31
[75:06] this is an insane breach of secure
[75:09] information as well as sensitive data
[75:11] that he simply does because he does a
[75:12] little video game thing look it's a
[75:14] reference it's like the mini game look
[75:16] at that that's an excuse to have [ __ ]
[75:18] writing I guess nobody thought to ever
[75:20] do this in the entire history of Vault
[75:22] 33 I also guess there's no no way of
[75:25] stopping it brilliant bud has no checks
[75:28] no clarifications no secret code or
[75:31] message for confirmation nothing secure
[75:33] because he's come on he what is he come
[75:37] on he's [ __ ] yes you know if it is
[75:41] this easy to just hack past [ __ ] then
[75:43] why not hack past the code vault tech
[75:45] dropped on the cold fusion let's get
[75:47] Grim be on that save the whole world
[75:49] buddy so grimy gets an invitation to
[75:51] Vault 31 and he enters the defenses are
[75:54] pathetic IC and the secrets are not
[75:56] guarded at all Bud the brain is aware of
[75:59] how sensitive this information is and so
[76:01] traps grimy in the room the room with
[76:04] the information and the controls I guess
[76:06] the stupid brain [ __ ] wasn't smart
[76:09] enough to just lock the door in the
[76:10] first place grimy wouldn't have found
[76:12] anything if he just closed that
[76:15] door you know something that bothers me
[76:17] to no actual end with this [ __ ] is
[76:20] that bud just locked grimy in the only
[76:22] room he can have leverage in had he
[76:24] locked him between the vault door and
[76:26] this room grimy is [ __ ] instead in
[76:29] here he can threaten to kill managers
[76:31] and that would ruin Bud's entire plan
[76:34] that he idiotically explained not
[76:36] moments ago because the future of
[76:38] humanity comes down to one word
[76:40] management grimy can also threaten to
[76:42] Simply wake them all up to cause chaos
[76:45] maybe they would demand to be released
[76:47] after what grimy would tell them but you
[76:48] know what grimy can just threaten to
[76:52] [ __ ] kill bud just pick him up and
[76:55] threaten to drop him upside down and
[76:57] he'd be dead it's all so [ __ ]
[77:00] [ __ ] bud has essentially provided
[77:03] him the console I'm sure season 2 will
[77:05] handle whatever happens next in a very
[77:07] intelligent Way the show is only kept on
[77:11] life support by coincidence it is filled
[77:14] with them left right and Center
[77:17] constantly shoving anything and
[77:18] everything on screen whenever the
[77:20] writers have run out of gas remember
[77:22] this remember this remember this and no
[77:24] story not that it had much gas to begin
[77:26] with considering Lucy Max and the ghoul
[77:29] all happened to meet up at exactly the
[77:31] same time and place not to mention
[77:33] essentially everything about all the
[77:35] characters plot lines take the ghoul for
[77:37] example like how he's heading to the
[77:39] observatory from this guy's house only
[77:41] to end up passing through the exact same
[77:43] gas station as thadius allowing him to
[77:45] get the dog back or like how Lucy and
[77:48] Maximus head back to the entrance of
[77:50] Vault 4 to drop off the fusion core in
[77:52] mere frames before easily catching up to
[77:55] thadius they traveled from here to here
[77:58] to here instantly moments like this are
[78:02] throughout and they make the Wasteland
[78:04] feel [ __ ] tiny I think something that
[78:07] bothers me and bothers a lot of people
[78:08] to be honest is the fact that there are
[78:10] no consequences in this show only it's
[78:12] more so that there are no consequences
[78:14] most of the time there will be
[78:16] consequences when the story is allowed
[78:18] to progress for example the water chip
[78:21] is broken leaving the Vault dwellers
[78:23] with a ticking clock and this doesn't
[78:24] doesn't account for the water needed for
[78:26] the prisoners don't worry it doesn't
[78:28] come up again the funny thing is the
[78:29] solution is the water chip in 32 but
[78:31] haha it's a game reference they told us
[78:34] basically nothing about The Enclave but
[78:36] like if that's where Wilzig is smuggling
[78:38] the cold fusion from and they're aligned
[78:39] with vault tech then how haven't they
[78:42] cracked Infinite Energy shouldn't they
[78:43] now be the dominant faction in the world
[78:45] oh no that will be the Brotherhood of
[78:47] Steel because who else would it [ __ ]
[78:49] be ghouls now requiring a specific drug
[78:51] to prevent going feral is a bit [ __ ]
[78:54] because consequently there should be
[78:56] barely any nonf feral ghouls at this
[78:58] point how are they all going to get
[79:00] access to something so specific how did
[79:02] they all even find out who is
[79:04] maintaining the supply and how the [ __ ]
[79:06] did Koopa manage it when he was one of
[79:07] the original ghouls the whole show has
[79:09] Shing his radiation it'll be allowed
[79:11] into the plot when there's a solution
[79:13] prepared but other than that [ __ ] it
[79:15] pretend it's not there in the world of
[79:17] Fallout I think it's weird that Lucy a
[79:20] clearly naive idiot Vault dweller is not
[79:22] accosted by many people regularly in her
[79:24] travels who would simply want to kidnap
[79:26] her and find out where her vault is
[79:28] since those are essentially resource
[79:29] gold mines I also think it's weird that
[79:32] someone is careful as Barbara realizes
[79:34] that her pit boy is sending out
[79:35] information somewhere when the work she
[79:37] does is incredibly sensitive and she
[79:39] doesn't really care all that much it's
[79:41] suggested the boys can figure it out for
[79:43] her and she's not interested because
[79:44] she's going to find the transmission
[79:46] location herself which like what why are
[79:48] we not reacting to this for what it is
[79:51] that could be Espionage it could be
[79:53] [ __ ] company SP Highway it could even
[79:55] be Bud doing some weird [ __ ] why the
[79:57] [ __ ] would you establish that and then
[79:59] have her take it into one of the most
[80:00] secret meetings ever conducted
[80:03] consequences to switch gears but to stay
[80:06] on theme the Brotherhood believe that
[80:08] Maximus wanted his friend sabotaged
[80:10] which goes against what they believe in
[80:12] entirely and instead of returning to
[80:14] training he receives a promotion Maximus
[80:17] fails his job as a squire several times
[80:20] and he ends up with the suit Lucy
[80:21] threatens the ghoul and he shoots to
[80:23] kill literally any one raising a gun on
[80:25] him but when it's here he doesn't except
[80:28] of course when Maximus is ready to take
[80:29] the bullet do it kill her Maximus [ __ ]
[80:32] up his fight with the ghoul [ __ ] up his
[80:34] suit [ __ ] up the fight with the people
[80:35] trying to steal the suit and everything
[80:37] goes all back to normal thank goodness
[80:39] the attackers put him in his suit so he
[80:41] could kill them otherwise there would
[80:43] have been consequences both the ghoul
[80:45] and Lucy get their fingers taken off and
[80:48] reattached very soon after perfect shape
[80:50] size length and that thing looks [ __ ]
[80:54] CTIC I guess nobody gives a [ __ ] Maximus
[80:57] is shot at in Point Blank Range by two
[80:59] people who fire first and he only takes
[81:01] one shot to the arm that's healed the
[81:03] second he and Lucy look for anything
[81:05] that can heal it the second they need it
[81:07] they stumble across what is the Fallout
[81:09] equivalent of Heaven the ghoul is
[81:10] knocked out and kidnapped by people who
[81:12] want him dead and through insane
[81:14] circumstances he escapes Lucy is
[81:16] kidnapped by the robot who's going to
[81:17] chop her into pieces and yet through
[81:19] insane circumstances she just escapes
[81:21] just [ __ ] properly sedate your victim
[81:24] like any normal self-respecting serial
[81:26] killer robot she ain't going to stay
[81:29] still when you're sowing her organs out
[81:31] it's a miracle you've harvested anyone
[81:33] up to this point I mean from the
[81:34] perspective of the robot and you know
[81:36] had Lucy entertained for even an
[81:38] additional second that she could
[81:40] negotiate or run away from the ghoul she
[81:42] actually would have easily escaped since
[81:44] he would have collapsed right there
[81:46] fadus his foot is crushed by power armor
[81:48] and for several episodes he just walks
[81:50] the Wasteland not bleeding out not
[81:52] fainting from the pain how lucky same
[81:55] thing with the branding he got over that
[81:56] [ __ ] in about 5
[82:00] seconds so pretty hot Lucy attacks and
[82:03] disrupts an entire society's operations
[82:05] and receives their ultimate punishment
[82:07] two we supply of food and water and
[82:09] freedom Maximus then steals the source
[82:11] of their power and he gets to go free as
[82:13] well when thus suggests that he could
[82:15] kill the doctor and steal his medicine
[82:18] but the doctor says Ah but I know which
[82:20] ones will save you and which ones will
[82:21] kill you you know what fair enough but
[82:23] then he uses the the medicine takes the
[82:25] payment and slowly leaves why establish
[82:28] you were thinking of taking the medicine
[82:29] and the payment and then not address the
[82:31] obvious you kill him once he heals you
[82:34] hello this scene is so [ __ ] odd is
[82:37] Thaddius even the kind of character that
[82:38] would kill a doctor a doctor offering to
[82:41] save him is that something the
[82:43] Brotherhood teach bear in mind thus does
[82:45] not know this man [ __ ] chickens and by
[82:47] threatening to kill this doctor and
[82:49] steal his supplies youve put yourself in
[82:51] a position where I would expect him to
[82:53] poison you and yet you just swallow up
[82:55] that magical [ __ ] also why the [ __ ]
[82:58] did you offer the fusion core's payment
[82:59] first could you not barter for like 5
[83:02] Seconds despite saying otherwise he
[83:04] should be able to offer caps we were
[83:06] shown a squire has supplied them you
[83:08] could offer elements of your clothing
[83:10] you could offer bullets the fusion core
[83:11] is so valuable and you're in the
[83:13] Wasteland can't you pretend to have a
[83:15] brain for like Fu you're [ __ ] right
[83:17] right he's [ __ ] I get it I get it
[83:18] Fus fires 15 shots at mid-range on Luci
[83:21] and Maximus and misses every single shot
[83:24] they clearly show Maximus shooting
[83:26] directly at the ghoul but they won't
[83:27] show any damage when one well-placed
[83:29] shot would put him down for good I guess
[83:31] he missed all those shots too sometimes
[83:34] in the game you shoot it just misses
[83:36] sometimes you shoot 15 times and it just
[83:37] misses only when characters need to be
[83:39] they are suddenly an a shot like when
[83:41] Maximus bullseyes the ninja yay or when
[83:44] Lucy saves Maximus by killing all the
[83:46] radroaches I guess the whole accurate to
[83:48] the games thing is a bit flimsy now we
[83:50] have plenty of examples of people
[83:52] actually succumbing to their wounds even
[83:54] Wilzig got a sort of fix for his leg but
[83:57] he died soon after but thus was fine for
[84:00] ages Lucy gets a stim pack and some
[84:02] Staples and she's in tiptop shape
[84:04] Maximus on the other hand needs days to
[84:06] heal and for antibiotics to take effect
[84:08] it turns out it's not at all about being
[84:10] accurate to the games it is instead
[84:12] accurate to whatever the plot needs you
[84:14] have the ghoul acing head shots here and
[84:17] there but suddenly sometimes he's just
[84:19] unable to kill the main character how
[84:21] about that well it's not just here is it
[84:23] it's also Max Imus the other main
[84:26] character the ghoul himself escapes
[84:28] death Against All Odds several times and
[84:30] no no amount of telling me that the Dead
[84:33] characters versus the alive characters
[84:35] are just a matter of who puts stats into
[84:37] luck but Muer it's referencing fridge
[84:40] boy did get a Jorge oh that's why it
[84:42] makes sense Maximus tank a nuke with a
[84:45] [ __ ] fridge raise your storytelling
[84:47] standards Maximus faces the Wrath of the
[84:50] Brotherhood for presumably attacking one
[84:52] of his own allowing a knight to die Ste
[84:54] stealing his identity sabotaging the
[84:56] mission to retrieve the head while not
[84:58] accounting for his own Squire that they
[84:59] clearly would have seen running away and
[85:01] they obviously saw Lucy running away
[85:03] with a head they could have chased her
[85:05] picked her up and ended the whole story
[85:07] right there especially when they know
[85:09] the truth about Maximus which Thaddius
[85:11] obviously told them about when he called
[85:13] them in thus even thanks him for taking
[85:15] the head despite knowing it's absolutely
[85:17] the one thing Maximus wants it's almost
[85:19] as though he doesn't get to be a
[85:20] consistent character at all and the plot
[85:22] decides every last thought he's allowed
[85:24] to have have crazy that so considering
[85:26] all of that insane nonsense on top of
[85:28] Maximus pleading for his life with the
[85:30] knowledge of the head's current location
[85:32] he's promoted again Maximus is a part of
[85:35] a mission now that's going to lead to
[85:37] his highest elevation in terms of rank
[85:39] and then DNE is punished by being put on
[85:42] this Mission how do you keep punishing
[85:43] people with promotions it's so [ __ ]
[85:45] they put a [ __ ] ghoul with a pistol
[85:47] against three power armored Brotherhood
[85:49] of Steel boys and he wins struggled with
[85:52] Maximus though huh and then if not the
[85:53] best example of an insane amount of lack
[85:56] of consequences the ghoul wipes out
[85:58] everyone in that room except Maximus
[86:01] Maximus is rammed face first into a wall
[86:04] thanks to a punch from power armor and
[86:06] not only is he not dead he's getting
[86:08] promoted again he has managed to stumble
[86:12] into the [ __ ] highest ranks of the
[86:14] Brotherhood throughout the season no it
[86:16] is not satisfying to watch it makes the
[86:18] Brotherhood look like [ __ ] idiots
[86:20] which is rather well supported in that
[86:21] Max can't even hold on to his [ __ ]
[86:23] gun on top of that at any moment of
[86:25] their choosing a squire can completely
[86:28] disable a knight to the point of killing
[86:30] them the armor is strong enough to toss
[86:31] debris like the Incredible Hulk but
[86:33] can't punch a yau to death that just so
[86:35] happens to actually die with one shot to
[86:37] the head so much for that game accuracy
[86:40] we get to a point where Lucy has more
[86:42] control than Maximus over his [ __ ]
[86:44] power armor and as much as she read
[86:46] about power armor in Pre 277 history
[86:49] books that doesn't explain why she's
[86:50] calling him a knight in episode 2 I
[86:52] don't mean to interrupt but was that a
[86:55] knight how does she know to say that the
[86:57] Brotherhood of Steel is not a pre-war
[87:00] organization and then there's the
[87:01] smaller stuff that's still just weird
[87:04] like how this guy gets shot in the heart
[87:06] but the ghoul comments on how he's
[87:07] obviously been shot in the neck they
[87:09] really want to show us he has four
[87:10] chambers in his gun only to have him
[87:12] fire seven without
[87:16] reloading ghouls can straight up die
[87:19] when shot in the shoulder but not if
[87:21] you're the main character look at this
[87:23] hook throw where the [ __ ] is it going
[87:25] what the hell did he wrap it around to
[87:26] make it this [ __ ] angle also how can
[87:29] you be this fat in the rationing world
[87:31] of a vault Lucy mentioned they had a
[87:34] famine was that you even that opening
[87:36] scene is weird there's the flash from a
[87:38] bomb not being picked up by anyone
[87:40] because of a flash of a camera that is
[87:42] not how that works when the flash hit
[87:44] you you could see the x-rays of your
[87:47] hands through your closed eyes in the
[87:49] process of hands over your eyes you saw
[87:52] every bone in your hand that's smoke
[87:54] Janie it's just a fire yes Cooper the
[87:56] entire city just happened to catch fire
[87:58] what what the [ __ ] are you talking about
[88:00] then the shock wave finally arrives and
[88:02] blasts shots of glass at ridiculous
[88:05] speeds into a room full of children and
[88:07] nobody's even grazed to then show Koopa
[88:09] trying to outrun four nukes on a horse
[88:12] instead of getting into The Fallout
[88:14] Shelter because he's [ __ ] I grant it
[88:16] may be difficult to get into the shelter
[88:18] but one would try rather than braving
[88:20] the nukes speaking of which I have a new
[88:23] topic you see and I quote it's the
[88:26] result of this fruit bearing
[88:28] collaboration that we're able to make
[88:30] America great that is the opening line
[88:32] of a discussion between fat cat
[88:35] capitalists talking about the end of the
[88:37] world you see vault tech sell vaults
[88:40] vaults are much better when the world is
[88:42] being destroyed if not for the simple
[88:45] reason that that's when they're going to
[88:46] protect you and so as they say rumors of
[88:49] Peace have set us back for sure it would
[88:52] seem that the potential financiers of
[88:55] vault tech are a bit worried why invest
[88:57] in a company that's only valuable during
[89:00] wartime besides the Fat Cat don't
[89:02] understand vaults won't people just eat
[89:04] you when you come back out all of the
[89:05] feral Stone Age level people just
[89:08] running around eating flesh you know
[89:09] well the solution there is that you stay
[89:11] in your Vault for so long that
[89:12] everything outside dies yes isn't that a
[89:15] tempting Prospect they're going to win
[89:17] the game of capitalism as they actually
[89:20] say by outliving people that is how we
[89:23] will win the great game capitalism not
[89:24] by out fighting anyone but by outling
[89:26] them because capitalism is all about
[89:29] killing everyone only there's a problem
[89:31] Mr House says oh you can find rats and
[89:33] they'll end up eating each other who
[89:35] says they'll even survive the vaults and
[89:37] so vault tech solution is that all of
[89:39] them can play out several ideas across
[89:41] more than a 100 vaults to create the
[89:43] perfect conditions for Humanity no one
[89:45] needs to know how unethical it is May
[89:48] the best idea win to which Mr House says
[89:51] there's a lot of earning potential with
[89:53] the end of the world what the [ __ ] are
[89:54] you talking about you stupid Goblin man
[89:57] how the [ __ ] is there a lot of money to
[89:59] be made at the end of the world that
[90:02] would mean the world has ended are you
[90:05] [ __ ] we could over crowd of vaults
[90:07] so people have to compete to survive
[90:10] inside it what the [ __ ] does that idea
[90:12] have to do with making money how are you
[90:14] this bad of a capitalist you've been
[90:16] developing a robot that delivers milk to
[90:18] the front door I would like to see a
[90:19] vault governed by it delivering so not
[90:22] only are they hyper unethical capitalist
[90:24] they're also hyper clowns what about
[90:26] using a vault to develop a super mutant
[90:29] Soldier using illegal immigrants why
[90:31] would anyone be excited by that idea
[90:34] when trying to increase the capital of
[90:36] their company why do they all want a
[90:38] post-apocalypse once they're told they
[90:40] could experiment with people but
[90:42] mutually it's referencing Vault
[90:43] experiments from the game I don't give a
[90:46] [ __ ] if they are superficially
[90:47] referencing something from the game I am
[90:49] talking about the writing in this scene
[90:52] the characters I am trying to figure out
[90:55] how the [ __ ] the acid drenched piss
[90:57] Factory masquerading as a brain came up
[90:59] with this oh boy they're all just super
[91:01] evil which is actually a pretty [ __ ]
[91:04] statement considering that if he's on
[91:05] board with this whole plan that means
[91:07] he's on board with nuking the whole
[91:08] world for capitalism believe me my good
[91:11] man the more people are alive the more
[91:13] markets function the more opportunity
[91:15] you have to take advantage of every last
[91:17] buck in circulation the better off you
[91:19] will be as a fat cat capitalist you are
[91:22] not going to benefit from from the
[91:24] entire world being nuked and I can't
[91:26] believe anyone would have to explain
[91:27] this to any of these people but you know
[91:29] what at least he had a sliver of
[91:31] creative thinking what if they invest in
[91:33] the vaults and there is no War what was
[91:35] the point of their money then how can
[91:37] they guarantee
[91:39] results by dropping the bomb
[91:42] [Music]
[91:45] ourselves it's so stupid why make
[91:48] trillions when we could
[91:51] make billions people have comp paired
[91:54] Fallout as a satire to Austin Powers
[91:57] saying that it is no less effective at
[92:00] making fun of villainous caricatures
[92:02] clearly proving they haven't watched
[92:03] Austin Powers in 20 years nor are they
[92:06] aware of the concept of tone listen to
[92:09] Just the soundtrack
[92:12] here I mean look at it Cooper is having
[92:14] an existential crisis while realizing
[92:17] his wife is Satan this is not Dr Evil
[92:20] announcing his desire for sharks with
[92:22] freaking laser beams attached to their
[92:24] heads why the [ __ ] would you even say
[92:26] that you plan to drop the bomb in front
[92:28] of an entire Board of people whose
[92:30] companies rely on things not being nuked
[92:33] do you trust them to not simply say
[92:35] you're a [ __ ] monster and I will
[92:37] never let you destroy the world or are
[92:39] we relying on knowing they are
[92:41] capitalists meaning of course if there's
[92:43] a buck to be made there's a nuke to be
[92:46] dropped for the record I am actually
[92:48] okay with the idea that there is a
[92:50] friendly bomb being dropped on friendly
[92:52] soil if you can just justified in the
[92:54] writing what we're being told here is
[92:56] our team of capitalist retards think
[92:58] they can make the most money ever when
[93:00] the whole world is nuked and of course
[93:02] if natural tensions and War doesn't
[93:04] provide this situation for them they
[93:06] will simply nuke themselves to make
[93:08] money they are sacrificing Top Dog
[93:10] positions in a capitalist Society filled
[93:12] with countless people ready to make
[93:14] money from so they can run an insane
[93:16] nonsense experiment that destroys
[93:18] everything because money because in
[93:20] countless Generations Earth will somehow
[93:22] be better off because as you and I know
[93:25] every hyper capitalist on Earth wants to
[93:26] end up in a hole with limited resources
[93:29] and activities in order to increase
[93:30] their bottom line they couldn't think of
[93:33] a way to write this this is the most
[93:35] cartoonish and [ __ ] possible way to
[93:37] justify this Revelation this isn't space
[93:40] balls [ __ ] a nuclear event would
[93:42] be a
[93:43] tragedy but also an opportunity you know
[93:46] what would be a pretty good capitalistic
[93:48] opportunity a functioning economy when
[93:51] we are the only ones left there will we
[93:53] no one to fight a true Monopoly [ __ ]
[93:56] kill me the ultimate capitalist where
[93:58] everyone except me is dead this is our
[94:02] chance to make war obsolete yes let us
[94:06] make war obsolete because everybody will
[94:08] be dead what are you talking about war
[94:11] never
[94:13] changes [ __ ] if you think War needs to
[94:15] be made obsolete because it never
[94:17] changes then how do you account for the
[94:19] [ __ ] modus operandi of the super
[94:22] manager vaults nuking anyone who isn't
[94:24] them you have over 100 volts working to
[94:27] compete as is your intention you think
[94:29] that can't lead to war you think there
[94:31] will be no war when even one Vault
[94:34] reemerges and repopulates and controls
[94:37] the entire world no conflict do you know
[94:40] literally anything about humans and I
[94:42] know I know I know the writers would
[94:44] probably say haaha but that's the point
[94:47] the character is wrong that nuking the
[94:49] world is a good idea a conclusion
[94:52] reached as a result of the corrupt of
[94:54] capitalism if I had a character who
[94:56] passionately believed we could solve gun
[94:58] violence by chopping off everyone's
[94:59] fingers and that this is the result of
[95:01] the corrupting influence that is the
[95:03] peaceful mindset as opposed to the
[95:05] individual's values and potential mental
[95:07] issues I can then make my show say he's
[95:10] wrong too but that character would still
[95:12] be a complete and utter [ __ ] [ __ ] I
[95:15] hope you guys understand that if I had a
[95:17] top hat wearing mustache twirling
[95:19] capitalist fat man announced that he's
[95:21] going to drink the blood of babies in
[95:23] order to a profit in America and make it
[95:25] great again and that it turns out he's
[95:27] actually just doing it cuz it's fun I
[95:29] don't get to say oh but it's good
[95:30] because satire satire does not mean
[95:33] [ __ ] you don't get points for saying
[95:35] capitalism bad socialism bad fascism bad
[95:38] or communism bad you get points when you
[95:40] do something poignant or intelligent
[95:42] with the commentary grow the [ __ ] up and
[95:44] write something worthwhile instead of
[95:46] telling me that the ultimate capitalist
[95:48] goal is everyone being dead except me
[95:51] and my team in the vault what a sad B
[95:53] [ __ ] pit The Fallout franchise's Dove
[95:56] head first into it isn't hard to Lampoon
[95:59] capitalism but you make it look bloody
[96:01] impossible do the writers even know who
[96:03] they work for we are adapting it uh for
[96:06] Amazon which is you know not lost on us
[96:08] the absurdity of it all it would have
[96:10] been so much better had they stuck to
[96:12] lampooning corporatism but even then it
[96:14] fails as meaningful commentary and how
[96:15] absurd they take it without bringing the
[96:17] tone with them if this were Austin
[96:19] Powers and they had a fat guy wearing a
[96:21] top hat and a monocle on Dr Evil team
[96:23] who suggested nuking the entire world to
[96:26] increase profit margins it' probably be
[96:28] really [ __ ] funny but here they
[96:30] reveal the plan and the show plays this
[96:32] as the biggest most serious dramatic
[96:35] realization for the whole story they
[96:37] want to be critical of capitalism by
[96:39] expressing fundamental values through
[96:40] these insane characters as so invested
[96:42] in increasing their bottom line that
[96:44] they will happily go as far as killing
[96:46] everyone the people who wrote this treat
[96:48] as a revelation in the show there's a
[96:50] series of quotes that relate to the
[96:52] ideas of raising cap cap private
[96:54] ownership utilizing markets creating a
[96:56] market for products that are financially
[96:58] unsupported making products out of
[97:00] anything everything buying selling and
[97:03] well winning all of this churned up with
[97:05] the notion of nuking the planet attitude
[97:08] towards capitalism which I feel like is
[97:09] coming back in a cool way no offense but
[97:11] it sounds like some [ __ ] commi
[97:14] gobbley go and as if that's not bad
[97:16] enough they decided to rope in Mr House
[97:18] the fundamental idea is simply too
[97:20] broken to function why would anyone on
[97:23] this entire board let alone vault tech
[97:26] think that erasing 99% of the world
[97:28] including the vast majority of all
[97:29] infrastructure in all Industries every
[97:31] last trade route and system that was
[97:32] previously available and all of the
[97:34] people who can spend their [ __ ] money
[97:35] would lead to a world where they make
[97:37] the most money and aside from that the
[97:39] many basic pleasures of life are gone
[97:41] friends family and social Gatherings are
[97:44] significantly cut down and of those that
[97:46] would remain they are secluded limited
[97:49] and thoroughly [ __ ] miserable by
[97:51] comparison then there's the almost
[97:52] complete destruction of luxury items the
[97:55] loss of lavish vacation spots the
[97:57] enjoyment of sports and activities that
[97:59] simply won't be available anymore they
[98:01] won't have their Awards ceremonies to
[98:03] celebrate themselves and freedom would
[98:06] be fundamentally annihilated why why
[98:09] would any of them seriously consider
[98:11] this well because they get to watch a
[98:13] 100 people kill each other as an
[98:14] experiment in some Vault lucky they all
[98:16] want to see [ __ ] like that so much
[98:18] they're willing to set the world on fire
[98:21] they don't entertain the vaults can be
[98:23] an investment that they are an
[98:24] incredibly valuable item on the brink of
[98:26] War sure but they are valuable as
[98:28] insurance regardless people like
[98:30] creating owning or buying literal
[98:33] Fallout shelters it's not an entire dead
[98:35] end hell are we pretending now that
[98:37] there was no interest in using Vault
[98:39] technology for space colonization but
[98:41] the dead end doesn't even make any sense
[98:43] because they established vault tech has
[98:44] so much power it can direct the
[98:46] government so the US government has
[98:48] outsourced the survival of the human
[98:49] race to voltech voltech is a trillion
[98:51] dollar company that owns half of
[98:53] everything and after 10 years of war the
[98:54] US government is Broker Than a joke if
[98:56] we are to believe vault tech acts as a
[98:59] contractor for the government we know
[99:01] there are many contractors in the world
[99:03] that work directly for the US that
[99:05] create tools systems and weaponry that
[99:07] may never get used this doesn't work the
[99:09] same way as a supermarket selling
[99:12] [ __ ] chicken this is a major project
[99:14] contracted for a feared eventuality and
[99:17] vault tech did their job and would have
[99:19] been paid thoroughly this is not just a
[99:21] project for impending War but a project
[99:23] for the entire future of humanity the
[99:26] military-industrial complex is no less
[99:28] primed for criticism as any large
[99:30] governmental system but this show can't
[99:32] even grasp the very basic form of what
[99:34] it's criticizing capitalism which is a
[99:36] shame because Fallout as an IP as we
[99:39] know from history is primed and ready to
[99:41] tackle this what they think they
[99:43] achieved with this part of the show was
[99:44] the very simple logic of Peace leads to
[99:47] vaults making less money so let's nuke
[99:49] the world to create demand for them
[99:52] killing almost everyone destroying
[99:54] civilization and ending the very concept
[99:57] of any functioning Market in order to
[99:59] Lampoon capitalism you didn't write good
[100:01] satire you wrote a depressed teenager's
[100:04] backward ass thesis on cartoon economic
[100:06] systems with no more value than a
[100:07] rotting meme on Tumbler look Board of
[100:10] crazy characters just ask yourselves
[100:12] even ignoring the Apparently far too
[100:14] complicated concept of supply and demand
[100:18] once you destroy the world and make all
[100:21] the money what are you going to buy buy
[100:24] what can you buy there's still so much
[100:27] left for example our All American Cowboy
[100:30] who does eventually become the ghoul
[100:31] starts this show in his movies killing
[100:34] commies I hope you like the taste of
[100:36] lead you Comm son of a [ __ ]
[100:38] unfortunately for his show Bob is fired
[100:41] and the writing is getting worse Bob's a
[100:43] bit of a communist communist our little
[100:47] capitalist Cowboy then starts to promote
[100:49] vault tech strong enough to keep out the
[100:51] RADS and the Reds
[100:54] if I may say I I you all are doing um
[100:57] God's work here only as time goes on he
[100:59] starts to lose faith in promoting
[101:01] voltech he finds out he's helping to
[101:03] promote Bud Askins yes the very same
[101:05] buds buds man you see Cooper fought in
[101:08] the War and he was provided westtech
[101:10] power armor suits that failed through
[101:12] design flaws in any case this is where
[101:14] Bud talks about how time is the ultimate
[101:16] killer anyway as Coupe decides to go
[101:18] further with these ads he starts to lose
[101:21] opportunities actors shun him and he get
[101:23] as many movie deals it seems he's almost
[101:25] selling his soul to capitalism and
[101:27] everyone who's critical of his failing
[101:29] principles is being called a red
[101:31] including an old friend of his Charlie
[101:33] White knife but what's crazy is he
[101:35] served with Charlie how is it possible
[101:36] that he's a commie son of a [ __ ]
[101:38] Hollywood Reds you even got your friend
[101:40] Charlie White knife are you kidding me
[101:42] Charlie but at least he has Matt Barry
[101:44] as a friend you're a product I'm a
[101:45] product the end of the world is a
[101:47] product to those of us who can
[101:49] successfully Embrace that I'd say the
[101:51] future is golden I'm having trouble
[101:52] figuring out who the good guys and the
[101:54] bad guys are anyway Cooper's wife
[101:56] explains that she's working with Cooper
[101:58] and vault tech despite all of the
[102:00] horrible ethical implications because
[102:02] she wants a good slot in the vaults
[102:03] Cooper obviously points out he's super
[102:05] rich so that's unnecessary they could
[102:07] just buy one anyway but she says she
[102:09] wants a good spot in one of the good
[102:12] vaults that is an incredibly suspicious
[102:14] thing to say and unfortunately for the
[102:16] audience coper is a [ __ ] and doesn't
[102:18] ask her anything else about that Koopa
[102:20] then meets up with his friend who
[102:21] explains to him what fidu AR
[102:23] responsibility means that the US
[102:25] government have outsourced the survival
[102:27] of the human race to voltech and voltech
[102:29] is a private corporation that has a
[102:31] fiduciary responsibility it must make
[102:34] money for its investors and how does it
[102:36] make money and how does it make money by
[102:38] selling vaults that's called capitalism
[102:40] Charlie oh boy yes it is but you can't
[102:42] sell vaults if peace happens so in this
[102:45] case capitalism needs War it has a
[102:49] fiduciary responsibility to prevent
[102:52] peace yeah how are they going to do
[102:54] that I don't know well you see vault
[102:57] tech has a lot of power so the world may
[102:59] just burn down if the people don't do
[103:02] something about it our little capitalist
[103:03] Cowboy is now having a bit of trouble
[103:06] understanding his own principles so he
[103:07] goes to one of these communist meetings
[103:10] communist meetings come on man you
[103:12] should come to a meeting you should
[103:13] learn the truth about where your wife
[103:14] works and those principles how much did
[103:17] vault tech pay to take them off your
[103:19] hands you see he sold out to vault tech
[103:22] he's he sold his Integrity to ads but he
[103:26] has a worthy rejoiner in that he points
[103:28] out I'm not ashamed to earn a living
[103:30] there's a lot of money in selling the
[103:32] end of the world yeah apparently since
[103:34] that motivates all the capitalists in
[103:36] this [ __ ] show well I'm sure there's
[103:38] a lot of money in selling a political
[103:40] ideology that ends in breadlines fascist
[103:42] okay they called him a fascist how do
[103:44] you know my wife my research company was
[103:47] acquired by her division so moldava here
[103:49] explains that it was actually koopa's
[103:52] wife that bought out her cold fusion
[103:54] technology she was literally going to
[103:57] solve energy and Barbara from voltech
[104:00] stopped it capitalism she apparently had
[104:03] multiple companies working on this she
[104:05] would have saved the world but vault
[104:07] tech remember they they want to blow
[104:08] everyone up so they don't want infinite
[104:10] energy to get to anybody did you ever
[104:11] wonder why as a writer of course that
[104:14] when trying to tell the story of the
[104:16] capitalists nuking their own planet and
[104:18] the Communists being the greater good
[104:20] you had to write in what is tantamount
[104:22] to [ __ ] magic it's getting to the
[104:25] point now where vault tech are so evil
[104:27] that they will do anything for money
[104:29] unless that thing is also helpful to
[104:31] people they could patent and sell
[104:33] infinite energy to everyone on Earth and
[104:35] instead they want to [ __ ] blow it up
[104:37] in any case she's trying to convince
[104:40] Cooper that his wife is a monster she is
[104:42] by the way but that's besides the point
[104:43] she wants him to spy on her to learn the
[104:46] truth that the wife is a horrifying
[104:48] capitalist that our capitalist Cowboy
[104:50] here is a useful [ __ ] idiot who
[104:52] doesn't even know how economic systems
[104:54] work hey I wasn't the one who said it do
[104:55] you know what fuci your responsibility
[104:57] means I have no [ __ ] idea I play a
[104:59] cowboy for a living and hey maybe he
[105:01] should consider switching sides I mean
[105:03] the conversation does end with this
[105:05] Banger I'm not a communist Mr Howard
[105:07] that's just a dirty word they Ed to
[105:09] describe people who aren't insane this
[105:11] line comes from the character who bleeds
[105:14] out desperately trying to provide the
[105:16] people freedom and power she's
[105:18] absolutely the show's Hero by the end
[105:20] it's [ __ ] fascinating so she
[105:23] convinces him to spy on his wife which
[105:26] he does giving you the capitalists
[105:28] decide the most money they can make is
[105:30] at the apocalypse scene which then
[105:32] connects up with the prologue he is no
[105:34] longer with his wife out of principle he
[105:36] stops doing ads with vault tech but he
[105:38] isn't back in movies presumably because
[105:40] of what he mentioned earlier about
[105:41] actors not respecting him anymore our
[105:43] Cowboy capitalist who began shooting
[105:45] commies and accusing people of being
[105:47] Reds has now been flipped come on Dam
[105:52] pinko
[105:53] yeah he still took my money and the next
[105:55] time you see him he's red how about that
[105:58] red that's red this plot line is once
[106:01] again worthwhile because Walton Goggins
[106:03] treats it seriously he's convincing as a
[106:06] man who is genuinely trying to learn
[106:07] more and make the right decision
[106:09] unfortunately it's no less filled with
[106:11] nonsense than every other part of the
[106:13] show first of all if vault tech have
[106:14] enough corporate power and money to
[106:16] change and direct policy in the
[106:17] government to the point of starting a
[106:19] [ __ ] War then surely they have enough
[106:21] power to Simply envelop the market just
[106:24] buy out everyone else in every industry
[106:26] become the market which by the way when
[106:29] including loopholes would be a far more
[106:30] accurate and interesting lampooning of
[106:32] potential holes in corporatism and
[106:33] economic systems hell it could be
[106:36] interesting to have a character that's
[106:37] essentially a reluctant president at
[106:39] that point the president of the United
[106:41] [ __ ] States of America who do you
[106:43] think I was talking about the [ __ ] who
[106:45] is what I should kick your [ __ ] ass
[106:47] who is this but oh well they want to
[106:49] make more money and so the dirty
[106:51] capitalists will encourage total nuclear
[106:54] Annihilation okay Cooper spends most of
[106:57] it well acted sure but he's far from a
[106:59] Discerning human being acting within his
[107:01] own values and interests he simply
[107:03] believes communism lady that the device
[107:05] she gives him allows him to hear the
[107:07] truth from his wife unfortunately he's
[107:10] too brain dead to realize a woman who is
[107:12] in Direct Corporate competition with his
[107:14] wife who is ideologically opposed to his
[107:17] wife and has expressed interest in
[107:19] sabotaging voltech including his wife
[107:21] just handed him what she called a
[107:23] listening device and he doesn't even
[107:25] entertain that she's the one who will be
[107:28] listening he has no idea who is
[107:30] listening Beyond him and he has no idea
[107:32] whether she did this to Simply use him
[107:34] she doesn't even say it's compatible
[107:36] with the pit boy she just said it's a
[107:37] listening device he's such a dumb [ __ ]
[107:40] gullible idiot that he actively helped
[107:42] perform corporate Espionage on behalf of
[107:44] a communist that directly harms his own
[107:46] wife it leads to him discovering that
[107:48] vault tech intends to blow up the world
[107:51] that's pretty stupid but let's go with
[107:52] it why did he not use his incredible
[107:54] star power and influence to tell the
[107:56] world could you imagine how many people
[107:59] would want this story The Very spokesman
[108:01] the very poster child the pit boy
[108:04] himself is turning on vault tech it's
[108:06] almost as though he didn't even try to
[108:08] stop vault tech from enacting this plan
[108:10] did he not warn people that the vaults
[108:12] are intended as [ __ ] experiments
[108:14] including but not limited to torturing
[108:16] people it's very weird that he'll go as
[108:18] far as leaving his wife for her immoral
[108:20] decisions but he wouldn't warn the world
[108:22] of a [ __ ] thing and then of course
[108:23] how do you think you can have Barbara
[108:25] rant and Rave about how she's doing all
[108:27] of this every last part of it to protect
[108:30] her daughter to then [ __ ] have the
[108:31] nukes go off with her daughter facing
[108:34] the brunt of four of them unless she
[108:36] truly didn't care cuz it really was
[108:38] about getting that grand capitalistic
[108:40] Monopoly after all I just why would
[108:43] vault tech not be fundamentally
[108:46] interested in infinite energy why
[108:48] wouldn't they finish up cold fusion and
[108:50] use it for themselves as a way of
[108:51] boosting their capitalistic Empire could
[108:54] you imagine the sheer power they would
[108:56] have as heads of a clean and infinite
[108:58] energy they could patent it and use it
[109:01] to go to the stars but nope they instead
[109:04] want to be crammed into a hole in the
[109:06] ground causing Untold pain to random
[109:08] people it's a Pity that as a result of a
[109:10] war hard fought the manifestation of
[109:12] distrust for the people of the Fallout
[109:14] World in using communist as an average
[109:16] insult has now become a wedge for the
[109:18] writers of this show to drool their
[109:20] awkward dissertation on the true blight
[109:22] of human ity for you see in actuality
[109:25] the capitalists are the ones who want to
[109:27] drop bombs on America makes sense then
[109:30] there's the multitude of shitty dialogue
[109:33] you're a coward we all are
[109:35] Norm that's why we live in a vault your
[109:38] ancestors lived in a vault to avoid
[109:40] being blown apart by capitalist nukes
[109:43] you live in one because you were born
[109:44] here and now you want to help this woman
[109:46] raise a fatherless child that is not
[109:49] cowardice you Dopey [ __ ] goon why
[109:51] even pick chat to say the coward line
[109:53] when he was the only one to offer to
[109:55] help Lucy in the Wasteland he's
[109:56] literally the only [ __ ] in the
[109:58] entire Vault who would leave for her
[110:00] they took the door control from him
[110:02] because of his decision to help her
[110:03] during the raid I got into storage space
[110:05] and I hid does that make you angry oh
[110:08] you know what I I need to explain the
[110:09] idea that smart people getting angry is
[110:12] more dangerous than stupid people
[110:14] getting angry I know I'll talk about how
[110:15] regular boys they they get angry and pee
[110:17] on the wall but clever boys oh you don't
[110:20] want to see where that can go regular
[110:22] boys
[110:24] can't get angry and they'll just pee on
[110:27] the wall well how about Maximus not
[110:29] knowing how his [ __ ] Works gets all big
[110:31] and hard like a big pimple and then it
[110:32] pops that's actually completely normal
[110:35] it's gross there's only so much cringe I
[110:37] could take when we are the only ones
[110:40] left there will be no one to fight a
[110:42] true Monopoly that's called capitalism
[110:43] Charlie [ __ ] Ki gobbly go how about
[110:46] Fat's backstory they must have worked
[110:48] real hard on this one and I quote I got
[110:50] beat up a lot and this new guy came came
[110:52] in and I said let's beat him up funny
[110:55] idea and it worked I was really popular
[110:58] it was great I just wish he lived long
[111:00] enough to beat someone else up [ __ ]
[111:02] kill me speaking of which there is
[111:04] plenty of painful humor come back here
[111:07] right
[111:08] away that didn't work just the weirdest
[111:11] circle jerk I've ever been invited to
[111:13] but what does molder want with you I
[111:14] mean she steals dads he left an
[111:17] impression on me that is the gentleman
[111:19] who showed me his butthole Lucy mlan
[111:21] it's Lucy nope it says Goosey you'll
[111:25] never find
[111:27] out oh he's going to find out it was
[111:29] also really weird that they front-loaded
[111:31] a bunch of incest dialogue messing
[111:33] around with your cousin it's all well
[111:35] and good for kids but I have been unable
[111:37] to find a suitable marriage partner what
[111:39] I'm not related to after 10 years of
[111:41] cousin stuff I'm definitely excited for
[111:43] the real thing it's not a sustainable
[111:45] long-term sexual practice you
[111:48] know yeah I know that's way more
[111:51] dialogue than we need to understand
[111:52] understand the importance of not [ __ ]
[111:54] your family to increase population I
[111:55] guess they thought that was too funny
[111:57] not to include although it was weirder
[111:59] in the marketing and your kids can mate
[112:01] with other Vault dwellers it's the best
[112:04] dating pool on the planet in conclusion
[112:06] I think you should have fun with this
[112:08] show enjoy the action scenes or the
[112:11] scenes with the explosions or Pit Boys
[112:14] in the Wasteland and the power armor
[112:15] suits waddling about to be honest I
[112:17] don't care what I care about is the show
[112:19] being heralded as an example of a great
[112:21] gaming adapt ation and a well-written
[112:23] story it is neither of these things and
[112:26] that's made much worse by the show being
[112:28] explicitly Cannon to the games this is a
[112:30] product that wants to show you a bunch
[112:32] of Fallout iconography that barely even
[112:34] belongs to the people who are making it
[112:37] your grandma didn't even wanted to blow
[112:38] up Shady Sands the first thing that
[112:39] bring that up you're like what do you
[112:41] want to
[112:42] do even if we buy the awkward [ __ ]
[112:45] continuity of the implied years of the
[112:47] destruction of shady Sands and focus
[112:49] entirely on definitive information we
[112:52] have have plenty to talk about we're
[112:54] careful about the timeline there might
[112:55] be a little bit of confusion in some
[112:57] places why does the NCR have such a
[112:59] limited presence why is Shady Sands in
[113:01] an entirely different location why is
[113:03] the nuking of one city implied to be the
[113:06] destruction of the entire faction
[113:08] outside of a handful of people that was
[113:10] a moment that landed in the show that
[113:12] also moved things forward in terms of
[113:15] what's going to be happening in the
[113:16] world to Fallout no shut the [ __ ] up
[113:18] what happened with the obvious power
[113:19] vacuum where were the Hub and junk town
[113:21] if Vault 30 1 32 and 33 were so close to
[113:24] the Santa Monica Pier both of which are
[113:26] NCR Vault 4 is close to Shady Sands and
[113:29] anything but secret why don't they come
[113:31] up when figuring out what options are
[113:32] available to get the water chip in
[113:34] Fallout 1 the Master's plan was all
[113:36] about cracking vaults and finding pure
[113:38] humans to expose to fev to then turn
[113:40] into intelligent super mutants his main
[113:42] base was south of the Boneyard and he
[113:44] was active for years there's no way
[113:47] vaults 31 32 and 33 all escaped the
[113:49] master his spy Network and his super
[113:52] mutants especially when they're all out
[113:53] in the open and Vault 4 takes people in
[113:55] at random allowing full access to the
[113:57] place I can't have a perfectly good
[113:59] Prime normal and not make it one of the
[114:02] chosen ones now can I after you tell me
[114:06] where your vault is the whole show is
[114:09] hinged on their own description of cold
[114:11] fusion even though microf Fusion cells
[114:13] have been an ammunition type for ages
[114:15] and serve a very similar function to
[114:17] what we're shown granted it's not
[114:19] Infinite Energy but even the fusion
[114:20] cores are portrayed as such with Vault 4
[114:23] using theirs as a power source for more
[114:24] than 200 years and if that's the case
[114:27] which is entirely not how they're
[114:28] portrayed in the games Mula should
[114:30] probably look into this then there's the
[114:32] Brotherhood of Steel instead of seeing
[114:34] the best warriors in the Wasteland they
[114:35] all come across as goofy self-centered
[114:38] bumbling [ __ ] the Brotherhood of
[114:39] Steel aren't fervent holy Warriors that
[114:42] are comprised of only men and throw
[114:44] their own people literally to the Bears
[114:46] they are a sect of ex-military soldiers
[114:48] who decided to rebel against the former
[114:50] government and their experiments with
[114:51] super mutants they are basically trying
[114:54] to retain technology to keep it out of
[114:55] the hands of maniacal power hungry
[114:57] people and they even help the original
[114:59] Vault dwellers in Fallout one apparently
[115:01] they now don't teach it or they don't
[115:02] know [ __ ] all about vaults as well I had
[115:04] no idea people lived in those vaults
[115:06] what did you think was in them monsters
[115:09] don't know how the [ __ ] that happened
[115:11] now the Brotherhood of Steel have simply
[115:12] been made into yet another bad guy
[115:14] organization and that's even if we
[115:15] forget the cannon they pick bloodthirsty
[115:18] stupid and pathetic people to promote to
[115:20] high ranks they have dramatic Inc
[115:22] consistencies in gear to the point they
[115:24] forgot their armor has [ __ ]
[115:25] flashlights maybe you would have been
[115:27] able to kill one ghoul between the 10 of
[115:30] you had any of you remembered to use it
[115:32] do you really think the power armor
[115:34] would just trap its user as though it's
[115:35] a [ __ ] coffin when the fusion Coe was
[115:37] removed just a blatantly inept [ __ ]
[115:40] design floor don't even get me [ __ ]
[115:42] started on the power armor they are
[115:43] seemingly crap hyper effective and then
[115:46] crap all over again in just a handful of
[115:48] scenes they have Squires who don't know
[115:50] how their [ __ ] work despite making Mak
[115:52] sure we understand they wank in front of
[115:54] each other you want to make my [ __ ]
[115:55] explode now they clearly established
[115:58] that weakness is found when damage is
[116:00] done to a fellow brother but that's all
[116:03] Maximus continues to do with promotions
[116:05] being [ __ ] thrown at him left right
[116:07] and Center they clear out everything in
[116:09] the observatory on site but they decide
[116:11] they want to listen to a speech from a
[116:13] [ __ ] ghoul a ghoul they hate ghouls
[116:17] Maximus himself had a personal powerful
[116:20] motivation to blast this [ __ ]
[116:22] away on site it's like the show doesn't
[116:24] even remember the downright Down
[116:26] syndrome boss fight they
[116:31] had and I got to say thanks for dropping
[116:33] the pridwin into the show real good
[116:35] reference it has no substantive reason
[116:38] to be there no effect on the future
[116:39] events of the season and it could have
[116:41] been labeled [ __ ] anything else
[116:43] however it has the fun bonus of making
[116:44] the railroad and Institute endings of
[116:46] Fallout 4 absolutely non Canon thank
[116:50] goodness we got the reference remember
[116:51] this remember this remember this and no
[116:53] story also ghouls aren't Immortal beings
[116:56] with Wolverine healing superpowers
[116:58] created by drinking magic chicken [ __ ]
[117:00] juice they are often slow withered old
[117:02] men and women that just so happen to
[117:04] live a very long time and are extremely
[117:06] resistant to radiation why have this
[117:08] take place in California you have so
[117:10] much of this world to explore and yet
[117:12] you are here again it's like Star Wars
[117:15] in its obsession with Tatooine and the
[117:17] funny thing is you can easily add to the
[117:18] law without stepping on pre-established
[117:20] stories if you just [ __ ] off somewhere
[117:22] else obviously the Great War was not a
[117:25] vault tech inside job it was an
[117:27] extension of the Cold War there was an
[117:29] ongoing proxy war with America on one
[117:31] side and China on the other it is
[117:33] confirmed in multiple games and by the
[117:36] original games creators that China nuked
[117:39] America First that started the chain
[117:41] reaction that led to the Wasteland we
[117:43] were winning too and then those damn
[117:46] Reds launched we barely got our Birds up
[117:49] and then there's what they did to Mr
[117:51] House give 20 years and I'll reignite
[117:54] the high technology development sectors
[117:57] 50 years and I'll have people in orbit
[118:00] 100 years and my Colony ships will be
[118:03] heading for the stars to search for
[118:05] planets unpolluted by the Wrath and
[118:08] Folly of a bygone generation there's a
[118:10] lot of earning potential with the end of
[118:12] the world why is it that Mr house was
[118:14] only able to mount a suboptimal defense
[118:16] of Las Vegas as a result of the bombs
[118:18] arriving before the Platinum chip when
[118:20] he is now a member of the board and
[118:22] fully aware of who is dropping the nukes
[118:24] and when
[118:27] [ __ ] this show will rely heavily on
[118:29] video game knowledge to fill in gaps
[118:31] generate head Cannon and excuse awful
[118:33] writing yet you are punished for knowing
[118:35] anything about the games because the
[118:37] show actively [ __ ] with them at every
[118:39] turn now that's not to imply the law was
[118:41] perfect before this bowel movement
[118:43] slithered onto Amazon I understand
[118:45] nothing has been perfect for a while and
[118:47] bethesa has been [ __ ] around for a
[118:48] lot longer than that but man if it isn't
[118:51] some of the most egre just free flow
[118:53] adaptation vomit that I've seen in a
[118:55] long time this next part is something
[118:56] I'm going to read out from a user named
[118:58] zorz from the character rant subreddit
[119:00] the original post will be linked in the
[119:02] description the new California Republic
[119:04] was created as a direct result of the
[119:06] actions of the character in Fallout 1
[119:08] they inspired the daughter of the leader
[119:09] of shady Sands to inspire her father
[119:12] aradesh to reach out to near Ling
[119:14] settlements to organize and work
[119:16] together we saw the results of this in
[119:17] Fallout 2 tendy is now an old woman and
[119:20] the ncr's second president Shady stands
[119:22] which was built from scratch not on the
[119:24] ruins of an old city had become a city
[119:26] they had working crops working water
[119:28] purification electricity and following
[119:30] the defeat of the original Enclave they
[119:32] would keep growing unifying most of
[119:34] California with their own gold-backed
[119:36] currency ultimately these growing
[119:37] tensions grew to a clash with the
[119:39] Brotherhood of Steel on the west coast
[119:41] whom similarly to the NCR had started
[119:43] expanding outwards they disliked the
[119:45] propagation of Technology among other
[119:47] factions The Enclave had already hurt
[119:49] their previous high horse position and
[119:51] the NCR was now threatening to take on
[119:52] their duties as well only more
[119:54] egalitarian and way more liked by the
[119:56] average wastelander as they weren't a
[119:58] techn feudalistic cult the Brotherhood
[120:00] of Steel NCR war was devastating But
[120:03] ultimately the NCR left it Victorious
[120:05] the remnants of the Brotherhood of Steel
[120:07] fled to their remaining bunkers and
[120:09] isolated themselves from the world the
[120:11] future of California was in the hands of
[120:13] the NCR however before the Brotherhood
[120:15] lost they slagged the ncr's gold Reserve
[120:18] something that crippled their economy
[120:20] especially as the bottle cap had been
[120:21] favored out to limit the influence of
[120:23] the water baronss in the hub but it was
[120:24] now forced to have a comeback enter New
[120:27] Vegas the last Mainline game by obsidian
[120:29] who wrote the NCR at this point the NCR
[120:32] is in danger famine alongside resource
[120:35] shortages and growth pains have forced
[120:37] them to send out Scouts in the hope of
[120:39] finding new resources especially water
[120:41] and electricity which leads them to
[120:43] Hoover Dam and the war with the legion
[120:45] while Vegas is open-ended it was clear
[120:47] that the NCR did have some troubles
[120:49] however it's still a huge Nation even if
[120:52] it lost it's not clear it would fall
[120:54] especially as their army would have
[120:56] shorter supply lines and easier
[120:58] reorganization at this point they
[121:00] existed for a century enough time to
[121:02] create a national identity of sorts even
[121:04] if there was unrest and many critiques
[121:06] it was not doomed yet now we have the
[121:09] Fallout TV show instead of dealing with
[121:11] trying to explain what happened or how
[121:13] they would have collapsed they were just
[121:14] randomly nuked off screen all of the NCR
[121:17] seems to be gone Shady Sands at this
[121:20] point is apparently a pre-war city as
[121:22] well and that's that it's gone the
[121:24] Brotherhood of Steel which were at the
[121:26] brink of defeat were brought back to the
[121:28] pseudo antagonists because God forbid
[121:30] the Brotherhood of Steel isn't a major
[121:32] player or the most powerful faction
[121:34] Around The Enclave is also back which
[121:36] while we know Chicago still existed they
[121:38] were [ __ ] in their old form in Fallout
[121:41] 3 and it just breaks the heart we had
[121:43] this faction that while not perfect
[121:46] greedy sometimes morally gray but
[121:48] overall was a symbol of rebuilding of a
[121:50] faction moving on from the
[121:52] post-apocalyptic setting that actually
[121:54] tried to create a working system and it
[121:56] just got deleted it makes me think of
[121:58] the sequel Trilogy the new Republic was
[122:00] lasered in one movie the achievement of
[122:03] the entire original trilogy and we
[122:05] didn't get to see it for more than 5
[122:06] minutes sure the NCR could be failing I
[122:08] wouldn't mind that being depicted in
[122:10] other ways but the Way It Was Written
[122:11] just reeks of the same as the new
[122:13] Republic a weak gut punch to bring in
[122:16] the status quo and the notion of which
[122:18] factions should be allowed to have a
[122:20] spot or not at this point in Canon the
[122:22] entire us is basically just run by
[122:24] Brotherhood of Steel factions because
[122:26] there are none other left like it's the
[122:28] same [ __ ] situation east to west the
[122:30] West Coast felt unique because it didn't
[122:33] have the Fallout three and four
[122:34] Brotherhood of Steel whom grew up into a
[122:36] regional power it had other factions
[122:38] other groups and [ __ ] seriously this
[122:40] just makes me mad as someone who likes
[122:42] will building the Brotherhood of Steel
[122:43] has interesting culture too but it's
[122:45] shown in every single [ __ ] game at
[122:48] this point it's barely changing because
[122:50] Beth has gone with a mixed douche b/
[122:52] Savia Dynamic with the Brotherhood of
[122:54] Steel what is even the difference
[122:55] between West Coast and East Coast
[122:57] Brotherhood of Steel at this point not
[122:58] to mention this exact thing happened in
[123:00] dial of Destiny 2o Indy's son was just
[123:03] killed off and barely mentioned I get
[123:05] this can happen but the way it's
[123:07] presented is just jading from nowhere
[123:09] and it just feels shallow empty and that
[123:12] is the end of the post for those who
[123:14] don't know part of why this is so
[123:16] frustrating for Fallout fans is that the
[123:18] show is Cannon to the games this is not
[123:21] a different continuity what they say
[123:23] goes for the show goes for the whole
[123:25] IP's history when showrunner gram Wagner
[123:28] was asked about nuking Shady sanss he
[123:30] said quote I think it would have been a
[123:32] mistake to go from the retrofuturistic
[123:34] America to another America that has been
[123:36] fully civilized and the NCR is doing
[123:38] everything great we love Deadwood I
[123:41] think if there was a fourth season of
[123:43] Deadwood there'd be insurance companies
[123:45] there'd be traffic and it wouldn't be a
[123:46] western anymore we wanted to live in
[123:48] that first season of Deadwood space of
[123:51] like what's going to happen where is
[123:53] everything end quote he also said quote
[123:56] it really was our belief also that
[123:58] though there are the events of the games
[124:00] it's not frozen after that history is
[124:02] not static it keeps going and entropy is
[124:05] a constant which is a less flashy way of
[124:08] saying war never changes end quote
[124:10] wonderful let us not remain static in
[124:12] history by ensuring every last piece of
[124:15] progress is blown back to the Stone Age
[124:18] one might assume they have a bias for
[124:19] particular eras and particular games and
[124:22] if I were the showrunner responsible for
[124:24] this compost tornado I would likely want
[124:26] no one to be aware of just how much that
[124:28] bias had bled into my work I then uh got
[124:31] very into 34 and New Vegas um I hope
[124:34] that doesn't make fans angry with me who
[124:36] prefer one and two but uh don't say your
[124:38] preferences I think considering his
[124:40] Illuminating comments here the show
[124:42] speaking for itself and his quote El
[124:44] swear instead of having people be
[124:46] awesome why not have them be dumb it's
[124:48] become quite clear there may very well
[124:50] be a more zealous reason for what we
[124:52] have seen But much of it can be
[124:53] explained by a set of creators that not
[124:55] only have no [ __ ] clue what they're
[124:57] doing you know maybe if we were smarter
[124:59] we'd be more daunted but part of like
[125:01] maybe why we were selected is we were
[125:03] just guess enough to uh to wander into
[125:06] this they only see value in a
[125:08] post-apocalyptic Fallout Wasteland if it
[125:10] looks the same forever we can only see
[125:13] fledgling communities and partial
[125:15] settlements with roaming Bandits scary
[125:18] creatures and ruined architecture
[125:20] anything progressing any further needs
[125:23] to be reset otherwise the entire genre
[125:26] is apparently ruined a spit to the
[125:29] spirit of the franchise a completely
[125:31] embarrassing lack of nuance and a total
[125:33] misunderstanding of said genre resulting
[125:36] in a broken disaster acting as a tumor
[125:38] on a franchise desperate to progress but
[125:40] hampered by custodians who couldn't care
[125:42] less for its future as long as they get
[125:44] to bathe in their own radiation
[125:46] capitalism all bethesa want the
[125:48] post-apocalypse and they will destroy
[125:50] anything that even even looks like the
[125:52] post postapocalypse that gets in their
[125:54] way regardless the story that binds This
[125:57] Together the very thing I am trying to
[126:00] assess is [ __ ] balls and deserves no
[126:03] respect it is a fumbled [ __ ] swamp of
[126:06] malformed idiocy that has no interest in
[126:09] respecting your time or investment but
[126:11] absolutely hopes you are distracted
[126:12] Enough by everything else we have a
[126:14] plethora of examples of insane plot
[126:17] armor inconsistent and embarrassing
[126:19] mechanics character assassinations
[126:21] boring stretches of scenes with [ __ ] all
[126:23] in them broken World building
[126:25] insufficient explanations essentially
[126:27] providing us the grand experience of
[126:29] knowing [ __ ] all about the Wasteland the
[126:31] people there what they think and feel
[126:33] about how everything functions or rather
[126:35] how it doesn't the Intrigue and reveal
[126:37] of Vault 33 wasn't merely the peak of
[126:40] wasted potential it was one of the
[126:41] stupidest reveals in all of TV history
[126:43] the dialogue the atmosphere the editing
[126:45] it all needs work the choice to have the
[126:48] first episode both inside and out of the
[126:50] Vault was a stupid one the reveal of
[126:52] Lucy entering the Wasteland is
[126:54] absolutely undermined the acting while
[126:56] good for several of the participants in
[126:58] this circus could use some work in that
[127:00] reactions to pain are highly
[127:02] inconsistent there are many examples of
[127:04] weird or funny reactions when Grievous
[127:07] injuries show
[127:10] up do you hear that he kind of went H
[127:14] however sometimes you get more
[127:15] appropriate reactions and then you get
[127:17] heavier reactions to things that aren't
[127:19] even injuries and let's not forget this
[127:21] bang a delivery from ADR Kyle mcclin in
[127:23] episode 8 it was everything the Vault
[127:25] had promised she is lying I'm a human
[127:28] I'm a human male she is lying the gore
[127:30] often seems gratuitous instead of
[127:32] meaningful and entirely inconsistent I
[127:34] am all for Gore but Gore for the sake of
[127:37] Gore is kind of boring and edgy and this
[127:39] show has that in Spades there will at
[127:42] times be just awful CGI when they have
[127:44] no excuse though despite feeling fake as
[127:46] [ __ ] here and there some sets were
[127:48] awesome and the costumes including
[127:49] makeup were topnotch which is is almost
[127:52] more of a shame oh and I'm not kidding
[127:54] there is a full set of Zack Snider
[127:56] Wonder Woman yodel for the ghoul it's so
[127:59] bad and I'm going to force you through
[128:00] all of it
[128:02] [Music]
[128:09] [Applause]
[128:41] [Music]
[128:48] and let's not forget how much they
[128:50] played maximus's is one flashback I
[128:52] experienced it so you have to
[128:55] [Music]
[128:58] too to hurt the people who hurt
[129:11] me your entire life you've been looking
[129:14] for a
[129:16] home sh s
[129:22] Indiana Jones remains can be found
[129:24] inside a fridge the characters need so
[129:27] much more work in general so much of
[129:29] their Journeys are damaged by basic
[129:31] interactions jokes attempts at being
[129:33] shocking or of course their actual
[129:35] developmental scenes being bked from
[129:37] beginning to end as though the writer
[129:39] has many wonderful ideas but has no idea
[129:42] how to make them coherent this of course
[129:43] spreads to its themes everyone wants to
[129:46] save the world they just they disagree
[129:48] on how one being something of an
[129:50] exploration of many different Minds
[129:52] approaches to saving the world you get
[129:54] the approach of nothing but trust and
[129:56] care all the way over to getting what's
[129:58] yours no matter what saving your own
[130:00] world so to speak I find this pretty
[130:02] meaningless in that nothing coherent is
[130:04] said or understood about how we will
[130:06] tend to contextualize saving our fellow
[130:08] man or the world we're all a part of
[130:10] most of it is random actions by
[130:12] characters the writers thought were much
[130:14] more meaningful in their Journeys than
[130:15] anyone else did with major points
[130:17] retaining the subtlety of pulling teeth
[130:20] look Vault 31 32 and 33 have to solve
[130:22] the Dilemma of dealing with prisoners
[130:24] because they usually accept absolutely
[130:26] no one look Mula takes in all of
[130:29] everyone and her only goal is to provide
[130:31] power to the people look Hank just wants
[130:33] everyone who isn't him and his to die
[130:35] making the world a peaceful place look
[130:38] Koopa just wants his family that's his
[130:40] world look Lucy just wants to treat
[130:42] everyone as she would like to be treated
[130:43] look Maximus just wants to be safe comfy
[130:45] and happy with Lucy I guess their
[130:47] romance was so [ __ ] pathetic these
[130:49] explorations of approaches are all
[130:51] undermined by Insane actions from the
[130:53] characters at every turn and a
[130:54] half-baked execution damaging any sense
[130:56] of earning any payoff related to them
[130:58] Vault 31 32 33 and especially Vault 4
[131:02] should have been taken full advantage of
[131:04] by now and their unadulterated presence
[131:06] in the Fallout world is almost an
[131:07] impossibility alongside their attitudes
[131:09] being at complete odds with the world
[131:11] they've experienced the leadership in
[131:13] all of them have absolutely no worldview
[131:15] that comes even close to anything other
[131:16] than embarrassingly distorted
[131:18] caricatures mava is a foul witch who
[131:21] causes more harm to people than most but
[131:23] the show completely missed that and
[131:25] thought she had a point of view that
[131:26] pushed for helping the many at the cost
[131:28] of the few when we clearly see her hurt
[131:30] people that are not only not in her way
[131:32] but that she is supposed to care deeply
[131:34] for and then the less said about the
[131:35] three main characters the better at this
[131:37] point they push even through the
[131:39] previously on that this show is all
[131:40] about the Wasteland forcing people to
[131:42] adapt and change in order to survive I'm
[131:45] sure they think this is coherent in that
[131:46] Lucy goes from Happy gol lucky to oh gez
[131:49] a shot Mama which was the unequivocal
[131:51] correct decision here when she is more
[131:53] suffering skeleton monster than person
[131:56] in any case any sense people have to
[131:57] make sacrifices or change their very
[132:00] nature in order to survive in this world
[132:02] is excessively undermined by every last
[132:04] decision in this cinematic steaming
[132:06] demon excrement being Infested by
[132:08] retardation the show may have said some
[132:10] things about trust and how the world is
[132:12] made so much worse by a cycle of the
[132:14] distrusting in gendering more and more
[132:17] distrust that was far from properly
[132:19] achieved in Lucy primarily but almost
[132:21] all of the characters changed their
[132:22] approach to many situations despite
[132:24] being at odds with where their prior
[132:26] experiences would have influenced them
[132:28] and don't even get me started on how
[132:29] much they [ __ ] up war never changes as
[132:31] a theme holy [ __ ] the show had so much
[132:34] meaning to make use of and so much to
[132:36] say yet tripped over its many many
[132:39] failings to Simply slot itself into a
[132:41] garbled mess a foul sewage Katamari
[132:45] slathered in Fallout iconography tonally
[132:47] speaking this is a train wreck we have
[132:50] all kinds of incredibly serious
[132:52] deliveries with the writing crashing in
[132:54] like a drunken clown looking to beat its
[132:56] ideas into the scene whether compatible
[132:58] or not the music will sometimes be
[133:00] awkwardly placed well before a
[133:02] realization damaging the experience of
[133:04] learning more about a situation Benjamin
[133:07] this is Lucy and Titus hey guys just
[133:10] wanted to say hi why the [ __ ] is the
[133:12] music so Sinister he's not evil he's
[133:14] abnormal welcome to Vault 4 just some
[133:18] housekeeping a few things to be aware of
[133:20] having one eye is isn't even that huge
[133:22] of a deal in Fallout you'd be surprised
[133:24] as to the creatures you come across okay
[133:26] that should cover it any questions and
[133:29] this treatment in many of the scenes
[133:31] will make the twists and turns less
[133:33] surprising because the music is already
[133:35] rushing ahead this while also having
[133:37] Stakes as big as death betrayal or small
[133:39] misunderstandings all exchanging at
[133:41] seemingly random their own tonal
[133:43] accompaniment leaving the average viewer
[133:45] to Simply say oh boy things are
[133:47] happening which explains why people find
[133:49] episode 8 so disappointing out side of
[133:51] how bad many of the scenes are you see
[133:53] when you're being fed structurally
[133:55] incoherent imagery and performances it's
[133:57] entertaining for as long as it keeps
[133:59] going once the ride stops and the
[134:02] questions are answered you have to think
[134:04] about what you saw and many people had
[134:06] no [ __ ] clue what they thought
[134:07] outside of having fun which is wonderful
[134:10] but not very meaningful and diminishes
[134:12] in retrospect now let's talk about
[134:15] satire I'm not entirely sure of what I
[134:17] have to say when it comes to that aspect
[134:19] of this show they certainly want their
[134:21] serious impactful cake while eating
[134:23] their sarcastic satirical nonsense cake
[134:26] too however the problems obviously run
[134:28] deeper than anything like that it would
[134:30] appear the writers simply aren't
[134:32] familiar with the weight of their
[134:33] writing versus the weight of the
[134:35] presentation of said writing through the
[134:36] medium of a TV show you are set to take
[134:39] this as a serious yet playful at times
[134:42] representation of human beings going
[134:44] through hardship learning about
[134:45] themselves and acting on values hardened
[134:47] by both pre and post-world War yet they
[134:50] will say and do do such stupid [ __ ]
[134:52] that's entirely antithetical to anything
[134:53] they could have an interest in that I
[134:55] end up wondering if we randomly trade
[134:56] out writers during lines let alone
[134:58] scenes for example there is a scene in
[135:00] Vault 4 with the overseer that
[135:02] essentially goes like this I don't like
[135:05] foreign people I hate their smelly food
[135:08] their stupid ideas and their annoying
[135:10] culture I want to call them names but
[135:12] they get offended and so when I do call
[135:14] them names and make fun of their history
[135:16] I have people upset because they don't
[135:19] get my jokes but you have to tolerate
[135:22] them in order to be elected I want to
[135:24] close off the borders but I can't
[135:26] because of policy that existed before I
[135:28] came into Power satire watching Lucy
[135:31] just star disapprovingly at this boring
[135:34] stereotype slapped onto a random
[135:36] character that shouldn't even have these
[135:37] values whatsoever and bears no
[135:39] consequence on anything is as cringy as
[135:41] it is forced but I'm sure someone found
[135:44] it funny and of course it's nowhere near
[135:46] as bad as I'm not a communist Mr Howard
[135:49] but all of the people everyone calls
[135:52] Communists are right [ __ ] hell we
[135:54] used to have examinations of these
[135:56] topics that were not only bound to the
[135:58] tone of the story but the specific
[135:59] subject matter at hand it is genuinely
[136:02] incredibly [ __ ] sad that we have
[136:04] countless examples of what are engaging
[136:06] fun thoughtful extensive dramatic
[136:09] comedic and downright [ __ ]
[136:11] inspirational stories that relate to
[136:13] starzing these topics whereas now now we
[136:17] are willing to accept any slop that has
[136:19] the right label what seems to have
[136:20] happened here is the shitty dramatic
[136:22] writing gets full protection from the
[136:24] nature of the satirical elements even
[136:26] though those suck ass as well this
[136:28] defense didn't work for Cinema Sins nor
[136:30] did it work for Glass Onion and it sure
[136:32] as [ __ ] ain't working here if the
[136:34] Fallout show is any indication of the
[136:35] quality of satire we have to endure
[136:37] these days then maybe Barbara had the
[136:40] right idea the fact is we're not making
[136:42] an unrealistic absurdist comedy here
[136:45] we're making a dramatic satirical
[136:47] post-apocalyptic adaptation of a video
[136:49] game story with comedic INF fusions
[136:51] right that takes skill you can't just
[136:54] poop out your Half Baked edgy ideas on
[136:56] who the good and bad guys of Life are
[136:58] because you have a Fallout skin we have
[137:00] several examples of very serious and
[137:02] specific dramatic realizations that they
[137:04] want to have dramatic
[137:08] [Music]
[137:14] weight calls me
[137:17] Han when certain people die
[137:25] when characters go through specific
[137:31] hardships they often play the show very
[137:34] seriously this is not a show in which we
[137:36] just forgive every last [ __ ]
[137:38] nonsense bit of writing because satire
[137:41] because oh it's not supposed to be
[137:43] realistic how about it [ __ ] respects
[137:45] itself Hot Fuzz is one of the greatest
[137:48] films of all time and it absolutely
[137:50] satiz is cop films along with the action
[137:52] genre as a
[137:56] whole that's what I'm talking about the
[137:58] goal was clear the NCR vaults nuca Cola
[138:02] stim packs jet Brotherhood of Steel dog
[138:06] meat Raiders the pit boy ghouls Airship
[138:08] caps junk jet rad roaches ver bird cram

[138:18] water chip protectron robot death claw
[138:21] remember this remember this remember
[138:22] this and no Story the vast majority of
[138:24] the iconography isn't even beers because
[138:27] they often [ __ ] everything up they
[138:29] couldn't even get the aim of a [ __ ]
[138:31] crossbow right or deage a person without
[138:33] making them look as blurry as the
[138:34] background of army of the Dead get you
[138:38] playing basketball with bricks is
[138:39] [ __ ] [ __ ] but it's the only piece
[138:41] of subtle consistent writing because it
[138:43] would take an organization as brain dead
[138:45] as the Fallout TV show Brotherhood of
[138:47] Steel to not only come up with this but
[138:49] to also find it fun you can seriously
[138:51] end up in a spiral thinking about how
[138:53] [ __ ] the show is like they never
[138:55] gave a reason for will zig being the one
[138:56] with personal access and use of cold
[138:58] fusion they establish ghouls need one
[139:01] vial per day to stay sane how are all of
[139:04] the ghouls in the world getting that why
[139:07] was there no visual check on grimy for
[139:09] entering Vault 31 his entire plan falls
[139:11] apart if there's just one brain cell
[139:13] working on this whole operation look at
[139:15] this guy shoots up and then flips in
[139:17] editing to shoot this guy and if you
[139:19] need any evidence of of how war never
[139:21] changes went from a theme to a meme just
[139:24] look at how long the pause lasts before
[139:26] she says it War
[139:33] well war never changes clapped I clapped
[139:37] when I saw it Oh you see the ghoul's
[139:39] accuracy is a reference to the vet
[139:42] system it's actually accurate to the
[139:44] games he doesn't even have a pit boy you
[139:45] stupid [ __ ] and no no amount of walto
[139:48] goblins or Ella pel Alita ey are going
[139:51] to convince me this pile of [ __ ] is
[139:52] worthwhile TV demand better literally
[139:55] all the show had to do was make the
[139:57] [ __ ] ghoul reference side quests and
[139:59] everyone's tripping over their soy and
[140:00] crusted Pip Boy bobbleheads to praise it
[140:03] oh boy he typed in the 10th of October
[140:05] 97 that's when Fallout one came out the
[140:08] game this show couldn't be further from
[140:10] just think for a second about how Lucy's
[140:12] philosophy is only tested in the sense
[140:14] that throughout the show people are mean
[140:16] to her and so will she continue to be
[140:18] nice to those mean people and people in
[140:21] general the writers miss any remote
[140:22] sense of exploration of these ideas when
[140:25] there are countless examples of books
[140:27] shows movies and games that have already
[140:29] provided blueprints if Lucy spares a man
[140:32] even saves his life and that man goes on
[140:34] to kill another man's family a family
[140:37] who are trying to help people what is
[140:39] her responsibility in that interaction
[140:41] will she ever have to face a grieving
[140:43] father asking her why will she be
[140:45] challenged on the repercussions of the
[140:47] golden rule being applied to any one
[140:50] person who who then has the very
[140:51] opposite effect of it on the next if
[140:53] Fallout 1 2 and New Vegas addressing
[140:56] philosophy is comparable to a pretty
[140:58] good restaurant The Fallout show is
[141:00] absolutely the McDonald's of philosophy
[141:03] but like all the workers are children
[141:05] and they died years ago of Shame an
[141:08] absolute gushing waste of money blasted
[141:10] onto a project not worth a [ __ ] cap
[141:13] also it is outright cowardice that
[141:15] Amazon didn't want to mention China
[141:17] regarding the law of [ __ ] Fallout but
[141:20] thank God they gave us the law origins
[141:22] of the pit boy thumbs up for [ __ ] sake
[141:24] The Fallout IP as a whole is about the
[141:27] failure of pre-war ideas and the Fallout
[141:30] of those failures economics religion
[141:32] politics tribalism philosophy resource
[141:35] Warfare and well human nature greed
[141:38] power hunger dogmatism arrogance
[141:41] Prejudice callousness The Fallout of
[141:43] these ideas now have their descendants
[141:45] trying to rebuild in the very same world
[141:48] torn apart by an almost inevitable War
[141:51] combine that with its dark humor
[141:53] thoughtful commentary consequential
[141:54] decision- making and the quintessential
[141:56] retrofuturistic aesthetic and what do
[141:58] you get well you get a loyal fan base
[142:01] one that looks forward to every
[142:03] installment a fan base that is then
[142:05] greeted with this The Fallout show is
[142:08] bad and you should feel bad that it's
[142:09] being praised to helenback because when
[142:11] sludge like this gets recommended it
[142:13] puts us in a position of having to
[142:15] appreciate adapted piss fumes from what
[142:17] could have been nothing short of great
[142:19] thank goodness they got the the [ __ ]
[142:21] references in there the writing will
[142:23] come later I am never going to praise
[142:25] this pile of [ __ ] just because it has a
[142:27] Fallout skin Amazon and bethesa [ __ ]
[142:30] this up big time and it ain't hard to
[142:31] see why this is all of Television Now
[142:34] you kind of you make it almost to feed
[142:36] the conversation online The Fallout show
[142:39] has protein in urine and they know it
[142:41] for those pointing out that all of the
[142:43] bad writing is here because it's
[142:44] adapting a video game stop video game
[142:47] adaptations don't have to be [ __ ] we
[142:50] have so many examples now so many video
[142:52] game adaptations being treated with
[142:54] respect while nailing satirical elements
[142:56] do not eat this diarrhea just because
[142:59] there's corn in there this [ __ ] was so
[143:01] bad they assassinated the character of a
[143:03] [ __ ] dog capitalism is when explode
[143:06] Earth communism is when person's sane
[143:09] any tiny detail within the games that
[143:11] really appeals to you and is important
[143:14] to you even if it's something small that
[143:16] you want to see on screen just the sort
[143:18] of '90s attitude towards capitalism it's
[143:21] boring you're boring everybody quit
[143:23] boring everyone mark my words this
[143:26] Show's fate will align directly with
[143:28] that of the Mandalorian season 2 will be
[143:31] worse and season 3 will have everyone
[143:33] wondering how we got
[143:37] here we got here from a shitty season 1
[143:40] Fallout got
[143:44] flanderized dad you killed the zombie
[143:47] Flanders you was a zombie the sheer
[143:49] thoughtfulness breadth and nature of
[143:52] this Series has over time been whittled
[143:54] away until the surface level iconography
[143:56] has become so oversimplified and removed
[143:59] of context that it now constitutes the
[144:02] entire experience a sad [ __ ] fate but
[144:05] not one entirely dissimilar to many in
[144:07] our culture this show is the direct
[144:09] result of taking the thinking man's
[144:11] Fallout games and ignoring their Spirit
[144:14] entirely no amount of slow-mo hyper
[144:16] violence while playing 50s music or
[144:18] Johnny Cash is going to change my
[144:20] [ __ ] mind you worthlessly creatively
[144:23] bankrupt vampire [ __ ] [ __ ] this
[144:25] terrible show steer clear of it if
[144:26] you're looking for something new watch
[144:28] the gentleman or Shogun or silo or Hell
[144:31] watch paint dry it'll be more
[144:40] productive well that was bracing wasn't
[144:42] it I mean what were we expecting from
[144:44] the talent behind that Tomb Raider and
[144:47] Captain Marvel regardless thank you for
[144:49] watching and I am absolutely not joking
[144:51] when I say this video was only made
[144:53] possible by many incredibly talented
[144:55] people helping to put it together entire
[144:57] sections of visuals were created by Goa
[145:00] cat hamper Mark the cyborg lazy lensy
[145:02] capitalo opinions and indigo gaming you
[145:05] guys are all absolute Legends thank you
[145:07] so much for helping me get this project
[145:08] completed I also want to give a thank
[145:10] you to the many people who reached out
[145:11] with Fallout law I got a hand from many
[145:13] users on Discord too considering I am
[145:16] nowhere near an expert but I think this
[145:18] video needed to get out there this was
[145:20] an insane nightmare project for me done
[145:21] in record time to have a place to point
[145:23] to when it comes to discussing this show
[145:25] and its flaws and make no mistake this
[145:27] Abomination [ __ ] melts the more you
[145:30] think about any damn moment the more you
[145:32] watch any damn scene believe me I know
[145:35] it's a project no worse than the Halo
[145:37] show in many ways however here the music
[145:39] the aesthetic and the performances have
[145:41] shielded it to the degree that it is as
[145:43] critically acclaimed by some as [ __ ]
[145:46] Arcane that's deranged fans of The Lord
[145:49] of the Rings out write rejected rings of
[145:51] power and I fully recommend Fallout fans
[145:53] do the same with this trash anyway if
