STRONG WOMAN

Fun fact : she literally looks like a Bethesda games modeled "plastic" character in that promo poster

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I'd rather watch it if it had a male lead character and a dog.

 

[Trogdor1123]

This looked fantastic. I’m super pumped.

 

[Beer Baelly]

It's looks too good to be true

 

[Wulfer]

Now this is a thread worthy to talk about! This looks great and sets are incredible!

 

[IDKFA]

IMO, this looks like shit.

Not for me. I'll skip this one..

 

[Last Hearth]

It is a good idea for a more vulnerable person to be the protagonist.

Especially a woman. Ramps up the drama.

Vulnerable, ha. You haven't been paying attention the modern Hollywood, I'm predicting she's going to be a girl boss.

 

[IDKFA]

You all are jaded as fuck, this looks pretty awesome.

They're called opinions. Some people will think it looks amazing. Others will think it looks shite.

Do you think everyone should share your opinion and agree that it looks awesome?

 

[Bert Big Balls]

A

You all are jaded as fuck, this looks pretty awesome.

Agreed.

 

[StueyDuck]

I'm not loving the tone... its more borderlands than fallout.

While fallout pipboy stuff and world is silly. The games plots themselves are pretty serious.

I dunno, I'll hold reservations for now but if it's like twisted metal (which worked for twisted metal) I don't see this being very good.

Maybe just go into it not expecting to be fallout. Much like how halo is a decent enough Sci fi show but a poop halo show

 

[Negotiator101]

IMO, this looks like shit.

Not for me. I'll skip this one..

I'm not one to argue about someone's opinion but I'm curious what you think looks shit? I'm actually surprised how high the production values seem to be, certainly not seeing anything remotely shit

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. It looks like they hit the nail on the head with this one. It is Fallout.

 

[IDKFA]

I'm not one to argue about someone's opinion but I'm curious what you think looks shit? I'm actually surprised how high the production values seem to be, certainly not seeing anything remotely shit

It looks gash.

Gash tone, gash acting, too many cringe winks and nods to the game series.

It's 21st century engagement television. In other words, shite.

 

[RiccochetJ]

I'm interested! Hopefully it's more The Boys and Gen V and less Rings of Power from Amazon.

 

[dispensergoinup]

I'm in, I've been hungry for anything Fallout related.

 

[LordCBH]

Will watch for Walton. But this show is gonna suck.

 

[ahtlas7]

Just like Starfield, this show was made for someone who isn’t me.

 

[Del_X]

They're called opinions. Some people will think it looks amazing. Others will think it looks shite.

Do you think everyone should share your opinion and agree that it looks awesome?

Just my opinion, but other's opinions can indeed be shit.

 

[Rosoboy19]

The all-episodes-at-once has me a bit concerned. They usually do weekly. Hopefully it’s not because they don’t think it’s good and want to drop it quick and move on.

 

[ANDS]

Looks absolutely fantastic and far better than that first teaser trailer. This is clearly "Bethesda's Fallout" and clearly is the "campy apocalypse" of the series and I'm all for it. I'm also pretty impressed with the VFX work; again, everything still looks goofy as fuck - especially the Vault dwellers - but it feels "right" and accurate.

. . .I'm sure it won't go like this, but if they make this an anthology series and aren't fixed to having one cast, they could have a repeat winner on their hands (and a way to keep the stories fresh).

This sentence shows a grave misunderstanding of the source material (Vault Tec did not build vaults to shelter the wealthy), but it will enable the writers of the show to check the privileges of wealthy heterosexuals so i guess it was a necessary sacrifice...

Or you're reading intent in a sentence meant to highlight the (relative, depending on the Vault you're in) safety of the Vaults versus the nightmare on the surface.

 

[unclbenn]

Woah, this looks awesome. I'm getting twisted metal vibes which I think is a great fit for it's cartoony characters.

 

[Raven117]

That flat out doesn't look terrible.

 

[samoilaaa]

We've been in an age where people love to hate and nothing is good enough. I think it honestly looks better than it has any right to. Hoping it's better than I'd imagine. But I'll be going in with zero expectations, much like I did with Twisted Metal and that was a pleasant surprise.

so people are forced to like something otherwise they will be called haters ?

 

[IDKFA]

Just my opinion, but other's opinions can indeed be shit.

I agree.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looks good to me.

 

[Krathoon]

Guys, this is straight up Fallout.

I don't see how it could possibly be better.

 

[damidu]

looks great honestly, hopefuly delivers

 

[Braag]

Looks promising. I liked HBO's TLoU so hopefully this follows suit.

 

[MiguelItUp]

so people are forced to like something otherwise they will be called haters ?

Not what I was insinuating, at least didn't intend to. I also didn't say that "everyone was like that". As always people are entitled to their own opinions.

 

[rofif]

This actually looks great. Kyle MacLachlan!!!

 

[Gojiira]

Of course its based only on Bethesdas dogshit interpretation of Fallout…Fuck off with the BoS,fuck off with people living in trash shanties and fuck off with your ‘healthy’ ghoul nonsense…Not a single thing looks right in that trailer.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Looks good, but it misses the mark as an adaptation. I didn't see any bug.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Not interested in watching some hole walk around a wasteland. Should have been a lone wanderer escaping from a vault to find a nuclear apocalyptic wasteland in which he believes he is the sole survivor. Finds dog meat, sees fucked up mutated animals and critters, discovers mutants and ghouls. Ends up finding small settlements and encampments that could be pulled from the games all while learning of the NCR and other factions. Ends with him on a ship headed towards a place he thinks is a garden of eden but lands in Far Habour or Point Lookout. Different seasons could be based on the different DLC locations.
How hard is that?

 

[Krathoon]

Well, if Interplay did not sell Fallout to Bethesda, Fallout would have been dead in the water.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Looks fine but WestWorld was garbage so... Hope J Nolan doesn't make two Ls back to back.

 

[HoodWinked]

They really cut a very good trailer.

We'll see if that translates into a good show.

 

[Last Hearth]

Well, if Interplay did not sell Fallout to Bethesda, Fallout would have been dead in the water.

It would have been revived later by someone else. We got BG3 and JA3 last year

 

[Krathoon]

Well, Baldur's Gate 3 got the seal of approval from Wizards of the Coast. They still hold the intellectual property rights.

That is the great thing about Dungeons and Dragons, the rights don't get sold off all the time.

 

[Neilg]

I'm not loving the tone... its more borderlands than fallout.

While fallout pipboy stuff and world is silly. The games plots themselves are pretty serious.

You didnt play the second one did you?

 

[Boss Mog]

That looks better than I expected. But then again, my expectations are so low these days...

 

[The Fartist]

They're called opinions. Some people will think it looks amazing. Others will think it looks shite.

Do you think everyone should share your opinion and agree that it looks awesome?

Yes, bow down to The Fartist

 

[Neon Xenon]

Well, that trailer doesn't immediately look like shit. That's the bare minimum I expect, even with being wary of Amazon Studios.

I'm not deep enough into the Fallout series (yet, I want to get back to Fallout: New Vegas) to really get excited or completely dismiss this immediately.

 

[semiconscious]

deep into a fallout 4 replay, & this looks just peachy to me...

Talk about generic run-of-the-mill apocalyptic premise. This is fallout, not The Walking Dead.

 

[Mossybrew]

It sure looks like it should and I do love me some Walton Goggins so I'll definitely give it a chance at least.

 

[Hugare]

It looks amazing, honestly

I'll check it out

 

[MaKTaiL]

This looks insanely good. Are you all crazy?

 

[MujkicHaris]

Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games ever. The game kind of ruined a bunch of other video games for me. Can't wait for the show! The production quality is impressive.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Production values look very good. Given how much I thought LOTR sucked on Amazon though, I'll wait for reviews.

 

[The Dead Flag Blues]

Didn't know they shot this on 35mm, that's dope. Looks promising!
