I thought this trailer looked fantastic, I don’t know what the rest of you all are smoking. As a fallout fan it was more than enough to get me excited for the series, also Walton Goggins as a ghoul chefs kiss.
People need to remember that fallout isn’t the last of Us or god of war, fallout is a cool series with a cool world, but it’s not a masterpiece of story telling and writing. These showrunners aren’t making Lord of the rings over here, it’s not gonna be hard to make a decent show based in an established world.
They’re keeping the aesthetic and design, so I’m happy. But so many people don’t have a nuanced opinion anymore, and a show is either a perfect 10 or it’s “unwatchable garbage”. I’ve seen and loved shows that I give a solid 8 to, but anything below a nine gets called “shit” these days.

It is not known.
No it’s not lmao. It was good but it’s far from anything like that
What? It’s almost universally accepted that New Vegas is one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Go through any “top RPGs of all time” list and you’re pretty much guaranteed to find New Vegas there, usually in the top half of the list.
Greatest action RPGs, perhaps. But even that has little bearing on TV show writing, since the important writing aspect of RPGs is the mass of options, not the actual writing itself.
Wow all the clickbait bot written top 10 list blogs put it in the top half!!!
Maybe broaden your horizon a bit. You’re missing out.
Those clickbait bot written posts have a bigger significance than your “No it’s not lmao”. I’m gonna side with the bots rather than some self-important contrarian.
Ok. Enjoy your mediocrity. Ignorance is bliss after all.
These showrunners aren’t making Lord of the rings over here
Of course not, Lord of the Rings already exists.
Well that didn’t stop Amazon from making them Rings of Power so don’t give anybody any ideas now.
We’ve had first Lord of the Rings, yes, but what about second Lord of the Rings?
I don’t want to set the world on fire.
But I will if they fuck this up.

Wheel of Time is not bad imo. At least not season 2. The thing with that series is that it’s not possible to adapt every single thing from 14 books to 8 seasons with 8 episodes. I went into it as a new turn of the Wheel, and while the first season didn’t do much for me, with the second one I can actually see the beginnings of something that can become really good. I’m cautiously optimistic about the coming seasons now.

Ah, ok so I’m broken and don’t have to worry.
I loved both those things.
Then I assume you’ll enjoy the Fallout show no matter what. Did you watch HALO, and if you did - Did you enjoy it?
It’s sad they only made one episode of Halo. I’d have watched a whole series as good as e1.
Well said. And yet you enjoyed the mentioned series? You are an enigma my friend.
Morbius… Good, bad or morbin’ amazing?
I actually haven’t seen it!
Rings of power was alright once you accepted it’s just a completely different adaptation with no connection to the previous films. And is also not being true to the books to a T. It’s far enough away from the events that I love in that world that I can separate it enough and still enjoy it.
I still would’ve preferred a more page by page adaptation of the Hobbit onwards though, especially the hobbit since it’s my favourite LOTR book.

You might want to re-read what I said cause I agree with a lot of that. Accepting it’s so different that I don’t even consider it a part of lord of the rings is what allowed me to enjoy my time watching it.

I thought it looked pretty good.
That said, I thought the first few seconds right up until Dogmeat started eating the Radroach looked pretty mid. I got really psyched and excited when I saw the BoS power armor
Looks a bit cosplay-y, honestly.
But also I’ve never been into Bethesda Fallout, so I’m already not as much of a target for this one, I suppose.
That was my impression too. The costumes and CG seemed a bit goofy to me. But then again, so did the original Witcher trailer, and that ended-up looking mostly fine when I actually watched it, so…
shrugs
Yeah you’re right Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is where I think this show should’ve taken its design notes from.
It’s west coast fallout by Bethesda, and I really don’t know how I expect them to handle the established material. I hope they do justice to what’s been written already
I’m with you. I was excited once I saw the first look photos. They took a lot of care with costume and set design
Cautiously optimistic. Hopefully it’s respectful to the source material.
It’s a very good setting for a show or mini series, but the way the IP’s current owners have handled it so far gives me pause. Hopefully the writers will be competent enough to not resort to the “radiation and mutations are basically magic” writing that’s been all too common with Bethesda.
I mean we already saw mutants (NOT Super Mutants or Centaurs) in the form of Chris Parnell’s Overseer Cyclops in the trailer. The rest of the shots (especially the Yao Guai tearing up that Paladin) make me think it’ll be more lore-accurate.
I mean, the way Bethesda has taken Fallout, there’s not much that could be ruined, just use a newish setting and go to town
I didn’t realize Jonathan Nolan was a showrunner. The first season of Westworld was brilliant. And Walton Goggins is good in everything. I’ll give it a shot.
Goggins is what got me on board too.
What the fuck man where the hell did this spring up from? This just started a flame in my heart.
I don’t suppose in your heart you have but one desire?
Is that desire to light a flame in your heart instead of the whole world? You pyromaniac!
You can tell it’s gonna be bad because they forgot to say “war never changes”
I bet you that this will be in the show and narrated by Ron Perlman.
And where are the TUNNEL SNAKES??? HMMMM???
tunnel snakes rule
We’re the tunnel snakes
That’s us
And we rule! Rule! R-r-r-r-rule!
In a tunnel?
Sweet! Well get a season or two and then they’ll cancel it just like they do all the rest of the fan favorites.
That feels more like a Netflix move than an Amazon move.
An expanse tear runs down my cheek.
I’m not sure how that’s meant? Expanse was saved by Amazon and allowed to have enough seasons to tell its story.
… you know it omitted the last three books, right?
And ended in the middle of an arc too, iirc.
I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m getting my hopes up.
My hopes have definitely gone up after seeing this trailer. I really hope they don’t pull a Witcher.
There’s not enough wackiness in the trailer. Fallout has always had a thin veneer of grimdark with a whole hidden iceberg of goofy bullshit and it was amazing.
I’m getting huge “missing the point” vibes.
While i fully agree, a lot of people won’t know what Fallout is, and they kinda have to set the basics first.
With that being said, I question whether Amazon can pull this off.
There are a lot of reasons to not judge it yet. First and foremost, the director/show runner has zero input on the trailer. That’s all the marketing department, and the trailer is designed to get as many eyeballs as possible on the final product. Numerous examples exist of trailers which bared little resemblance to the movie/show/game/whatever.
Secondly, they buried the lead on the director. Jonathan Nolan did direct much of Westworld. But he also wrote a bunch of award winning films for his brother, Christopher Nolan. Movies like Memento, Interstellar, The Prestige, and Dark Knight. He’s no slouch, and I’ll reserve judgement until I see it.
To back you up, the first Doom Patrol trailers did little justice to how weird that show is.
J. Nolan also did “Person of Interest”. It’s a lesser-known show but it was very good.
It felt like a classic 80s show at first(the hero is a badass supported by an eccentric rich guy to help random people) but, without spoiling it, it takes a very interesting turn.
it’s a trailer, it also has to get the normis
so the cyclops overseer drinking a moldy cup isnt wacky at all?
How do you mod a TV show?
Don’t worry, Toddyboy is on the case!
guess i will watch it. lets hope its not complete shit
the trailer looks great and really has that fallout spirit somewhere between funny, gruesome and batshit crazy.
Also great to see Walton Goggins in the cast, he’s a great actor
I’m on a strict “don’t trust trailers” diet since seeing the new Napoleon film, so I’ll wait and see for this series.
What do you mean ? Is Napoleon shit; I haven’t seen it yet?
Please 🙏 don’t be shit
I haven’t seen it yet, but one review said it was one of the most unintentionally funny movies of the year.
Also Ridley Scott is doing a hilarious press tour for it.
Scott was informed of some less than stellar French reviews of his film – French GQ called it “deeply clumsy” and “unintentionally funny” – to which Scott replied with the following solid gold banger: “The French don’t even like themselves.”
But don’t think that insulting an entire country is enough for Scott. Speaking to the Sunday Times’s Jonathan Dean last weekend, he also reserved some ire for historians, some of whom have suggested that Napoleon might not be the most rigorously accurate film ever made. Scott responded by addressing the entire historian community. “Excuse me, mate, were you there?” he raged. “No? Well, shut the fuck up then.”
I love Goggins, this is a perfect universe for his style honestly
He was fantastic in Righteous Gemstones.
Let’s play Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers!

They’re going to find a way to release the films with bugs and release a day one patch
I mean it can’t be worse than the Halo show, at least this looks decent from the trailer.
Can guarantee it’ll be better than getting mauled by a Deathclaw either way.

Honestly I can’t wait to watch this. Consider me hyped!
Oh no… The time has come to shit all over two legendary games again… for the second time.
I was not excited for this show until seeing that trailer! Fingers crossed 🤞
I haven’t found a place in my life for these types of TV series. Looks good though just prefer the complete arc of a movie or a mini-series.
Sets look kind of big budget artificial, soapy? Like that is some wicked blue dye on the suits, very fresh. Lovely hair and makeup. All good though I realize it’s just not my thing. A cinematic 90 minute fallout movie laser focused on 2-3 character arcs would be exciting to me.
Yeah it looks like it’s artificial almost on purpose. The vault opening and there’s a neat little skull in the corner…
Tbh I don’t mind shitty adaptations that fan service but I think they are missing the mark on this one. I hope I’m wrong tho.
