I'm indifferent but kinda funny:

I'll still watch the series in manner of skipping through every 5 seconds, but I fail to see how this is meant to get anyone's blood boiling. In general, these games series don't really seem to cause much whiplash, do they? Last of Us and the faggotry of Mr Parks n Rec. People get mad for a few weeks then forget about it.
 
Skimming through the Fallout subreddit feels so dystopian. There's many consooming posts, celebrity worship and brand-friendly memes. The discussion of the show is overwhelmingly positive; while a few redditors dislike it, they are drowned out by hundreds of Fallout tour- I mean fans.

You no longer need to write interesting stories, compelling characters or thematic arcs. Just jingle the keys and retards will clap. "Is that Primm? Is that Big Iron playing? I member!" Easter eggs are not storytelling; they merely supplement the story and serve as a nod to the fans, the real fans.

I'm glad I only really care about New Vegas, cause I feel bad for the real Fallout fans who actually played the first 2 games. Now tourists have completely taken over, and there's no saving Fallout. Amazon and Bethesda did not create Fallout but they did kill Fallout and rape it's corpse.

Redditors are NPCs talking to AI accounts.
 
The main character is starting to be super fucking grating, and there’s no way she would not have immediately been gangraped and then impaled on a spike (then gangraped again) in the actual world of New Vegas if she had been that lippy with the legion. Fucking retarded.

That show’s only saving grace are Walton Goggins and, I’m kind of surprised to say, the Brothahood o’ Steel n’Shit dude. Most of his scenes are pretty good.

Kumal managed to be less annoying than the main character, so there’s that.
 
I never gave this slop a watch since the trailers showed an interracial relationship with the main character. That's all I needed to tell that it was going to be gay jew shit. People are always complaining about this show on xitter but what else do you expect from these Hollywood jews other than pure garbage?

Can I just recommend those two games to you real quick? Once you get used to the controls, the games hold up really well, and the writing is delightful.

Also, if that rumbly voice from the trailers really is Goris, I will gently soypog at my screen while I fashion some rope into a hangman's knot for when they inevitably ruin him.

The Legion story in particular is a staple in the western/samurai genres: A Lone Wanderer comes to a town where two clans are fighting, has to navigate the politics of the situation before resolving it and going on his way. Classic stuff. Yet its done here so poorly, being so rushed, that its incoherent and loses all meaning. There is no lesson here*. No treatise on the human condition. Its just slop.

You're right, and it even has all the makings of a classic Fallout quest.

Ghouly and Vaulty offer to help resolve the Clash of the Two Caesars in exchange for their lives, freedom, and maybe a bit of loot.

Ghouly wants to let his guns do the talking, but Vaulty is moved - though disturbed - by Legate Culkin's words. America is nothing now but a legacy of failure. The Legion is looking to the future, to build something that can actually endure in this harsh new world. What if she could push them into a better, more humane direction - however little her contribution might be. This is classic Fallout. Letting the player character influence the future of each faction they encounter.

Vaulty and Ghouly go visit Chinese Caesar. Important note for aspiring writers: make Chinese Caesar's camp far enough away from Vanilla Caesar's camp to be out of weapon's range, but not so far that the characters would need to teleport. Definitely do not make them just 20 dudes on the opposite side of a mound of dirt. Chinese Caesar has some different ideas about how to run the Legion. Vaulty doesn't like all of them, but they are generally better than Vanilla Caesar's. By negotiating with Vanilla Caesar, they get him to accept Chinese Caesar's methods, and offer Chinese Caesar a majority of seats in the new senate. Chinese Caesar accepts, and allows Vanilla Caesar to retrieve the Sacred Note from the Sacred Pocket, but it's blank. There is tension for a moment, but Chinese Caesar kneels to Vanilla Caesar because he wants the deal to go through without bloodshed.

The episode would have to be filled with *gasp* TALKING! Heck, there might even be TALKING between Ghouly and Vaulty. Ghouly would remind Vaulty that this method of resolving their quest would empower the Legion, and set them up for success. They would TALK about it.

Actually, is it me, or does this season barely have any dialogue? Even when Paladin Pajeet is convincing Maximus, Max just kind of stands there.

Edit: You could have Vanilla Caesar say cool shit like "if I do this, I would be Caesar in name, but there would still be Two Caesars." *Close-up of his finger on the trigger of that rifle he likes to play with.* Just replace the writers with me already, I can handle it.

I don't understand how every faction can be broken up, filled with retards, and fighting over scraps. House seems to be out of the picture, the rangers are down to their last Black Woman, and there appears to be no one filling the power vacuum.

The show’s and honestly most of Fallout’s depiction of the world is that it is irrevocably broken due to the Great War. The Master devoured settlements to make more troops for the Unity. The Enclave was prepared to wipe out all life for being mutated. The Institute experimented on the Commonwealth because they could. House, NCR, and the Legion fought for their jewel of the Mojave.

Shady Sands was destroyed because it threatened a Vault Tec scheme. Quintus is holding onto fusion technology to make a bid for power rather than share it.

Ulysses was fucking right; unless men change, it will keep on happening.

There's only so many times you can cope about "Lucy failed a speech check XD" before you realise that the show is just genuinely retarded. The most ardent defenders of the show from what I've seen are people whose experience with the games is consigned to Fallout 4 and/or 76 and whose experience with others is half-watched videos on the others playing on their 2nd monitor. It doesn't really engender much passion to shill for the show once stupidity mounts too high and I think the Legion fighting over a corpse on a small dirt mound between two camps copying the exact same layout is that peak of stupid.

I'm still watching in the hope they at least deign to make Mr House not completely evil.

Yeah but the writing in the first season was also god awful. I only made it past the first ep.
 
I quite liked the first season, but S2 hasn't impressed me much. I'm not stoked by the very first scene (House in the bar) already making me feel like this is going in a very weird direction. I recall an article with Justin Theroux talking about why he took this part and the main takeaway seemed to be that he wanted to work with his buddy Walton. That's fine, but you can tell he isn't really sure about House's in-game characterization or his inspiration. I imagine he was told that House is basically "libertarian fascist obsessed with control and AI" and all he got from that was "ah yes, Elon Musk". Like, Howard Hughes was still alive when you were born, I don't expect you to remember him at all, but he was parodied everywhere and every fictional rich eccentric guy was based on him. Skim his wiki, if you don't want to get into game lore, watch a video on Hughes. Hell, watch The Aviator, Leo's fine in the role. The other House actor, Rafi Silver, has at least watched several Youtubers talk about the character and I'm honestly at a point where this guy might give us a better depiction of the man than Theroux, and he's probably playing a double.

It also annoys me how Theroux plays House like an actual faggot. In the cut game content you could only seduce House as a female Courier, but I guess that sort of detail is only for bigoted chuds.

Even aside from that, the second season is so sloppy. The Ghoul is the most known person in the Wasteland who used to hang out with everybody, but then you don't learn any relevant plot details about the current political state of the world. He teleports around the Mojave for no fucking reason (we know why, ofc; gotta show off a shot of HELIOS One!) while Lucy is dying on a cross and all the fanbase can say is "lmao fast travel" even though time still passes when you use that function in the game. NCR's actual fall is a mess, with the show flip-flopping between dates. The Legion shits around in a camp for over 10 years because they're too stupid to figure out how to retrieve a body 2 meters away from them (fucking send slaves!). The BoS is run by and full of retards, which tbh - fair. But it's honestly beginning to annoy me how this seems to be the only way for the writers to have Maximus be convinced that maybe the Brotherhood needs to make some major changes in their structure and ideology.

MAYBE it'll all come together in the end, but they really should've pressured Bethesda/Todd/whoever to pick an ending (even a cut ending would've been fine) and write around that. There's no point in feeling anything for the events of NV if the show just goes "war never changes means nothing matters".

Was it rushed or are they running out of material to ruin?

They have dozens of stories from Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas that are all capable of becoming a television series adaptation. There are materials from the Fallout movie script, Van Buren, and cut content from the west coast games as well. They could also always write something original or new. They have the backing of the largest company in the United States, Amazon, to produce the show.

It's just lack of talent simply.
 
Ya know I thought the show was basically ok, basically like Fallout 4, like not great but good enough to just watch for the member berries. But the last episode was so monstrously retarded that it's just kinda ruined the whole thing for me.

Why the fuck are the Rangers just sitting on their asses in the mountains doing fuck all? How are they "boxed in" if people can just walk into the Mojave and never run into the Legion? Why didn't the show runners just say that the Desert Rangers went back to being independent like before they joined the NCR? Why the fuck was Caesar, who in the games is an extremely educated man, so fucking retarded that he apparently only wrote down his successor on a napkin and told no one about it? Why are the Legions so retarded that neither side just grabbed a stealth boy to grab the note? Why the fuck are they separated by only ten fucking feet? How can the Brotherhood be so fuckin retarded?

Also Maximus is such a fucking piece of shit character that I really hope the show finally explodes him at some point but I know they won't.

It's just fuckin maddening seeing people on Reddit praising this shit too.
