Amazon Studios to develop series based on Fallout

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
the East Coast (fallout 3) did but that was out of desperation from being cut off the West Coast and their faction split into two groups beacuse of it.
Don't forget the reason Brotherhood of Steel was eliminated from the West Coast, and it's because they wanted to protect and serve people against Super Mutants which the Brotherhood Outcast ended up splitting from that
 
The only reason why I'd watch this is because Walton Goggins is in it. Other than that it looks like pvre soyslop for the degenerated masses. I don't even know who this is supposed to appeal to.
 
It's also likely his character finishes his story in the first season of this trash show. But they don't kill him off in case they want to bring him back. So he will help the female character on her journey until she is self sufficient. Then leave her and maybe one day return if they can secure the actor. I doubt that Goggins is signed on for more seasons if Amazon renews the show.
 
The ghoul is too clean, they were supposed to look like burnerd corpse I hatehow everything needs to looks clean and safe nowdays. Too bad that Bethesda got ready of the gritty aesthetic with fallout 4. I would have killed to see a fallout series with this aesthetic, inspired by sci FI from the 80's.

The Ghoul looks like a normal dude aside from the lack of nose. Looks more like he lost a knife fight instead of a burn victim. Where’s the scarring? The grotesque disfiguration? The discolored, blistered flesh?

The entire poster for this show is so bad they had to toss anything they knew would remind fans of Fallout, rather than take the time to create something gritty and original whilst having respect for the source material.
 
The ratio of medicore/terrible adaptions of IPs to decent/good adaptions is too far slanted towards the "terrible" side for me to be remotely excited for this.

From the trailer, it looks like it's heavily going to reflect the atmosphere presented in FO4/FO76, rather than the older games. That is, looks like a sanitized version of the wasteland, with only a modicum of gravitas given to the more depressing elements in the world, and little in the way of the horrors that the Vault-Tec company did. It's supposedly going to take place in 2296, around the Los Angeles area. I saw an NCR flag in the background in the trailer, so I'm presuming that the outcome of the second battle of Hoover Dam will be mentioned, since FNV takes place around 2281.

The cynical part of me thinks they're trying to appeal to the fans of both the newer games and the older games (3 and NV). Maybe they'll make a reference to FO1/2, but I doubt there's going to be more than a few throw-away lines. The show will most likely be a mess of "memberberries", modern-day tropes, and key-jingling fan-service.

I kind of want to create a set of BINGO cards to entertain me when it comes out next month.

There's a reason for that. The IPs people want to adapt/reboot/leech upon (delete as appropriate) are the exception, not the rule.

The vast majority of books, films, TV series, music &c fail and fail hard becoming forgotten and irrelevant either immediately or very soon thereafter. The very small proportion that generate fanbases that remember the IP fondly, are prepared to spend money on it, and are therefore candidates for exploitation, achieve that as a result of some combination of unusually talented creator and/or the luck of delivering just what it transpired (with 20/20 hindsight) that people wanted at that particular time.

Often the original creator can't "recapture the magic". There are no shortage of authors/film makers who achieve success but are never able to repeat that success.

So, for someone else to come in years or decades later to try to "recapture the magic", the chances of matching or bettering the original are marginal at best. Quite apart from the luck factor of hitting the market with just what it wanted at just the right time, that this someone else believes they can replicate or surpass whatever rare talent the original creator delivered is, to use an expression from another tragic IP strip mining, sheer fucking hubris.

As if the odds weren't stacked against success enough these clowns turn the hubris up to 11 by convincing themselves that they can reimagine, reboot, update, modernise or, god forbid, subvert, the original work; i.e. they can do better than the original that itself succeeded against the odds. Writers and cast are told and are proud to not watch/read the original. Leaving aside that the more you depart from the original the less likely you are to replicate whatever made the original successful; this is a recipe to alienate the actual fanbase - that group of people prepared to spend money who made the original the success that "justified" the remake in the first place. Instead there is this belief that they can attract a new wider audience; those people who have never shown any interest in the IP. It's cretinous.

These are skin suits. They wear and exploit a popular IP to get publicity for a product whose connections to the original, and what made the original succeed, are superficial at best.

I'd be delighted if this is good but am expecting a trashfire. At best I expect something that offers surface promise but fails to deliver before embracing full retardation (see Westworld). The warning signs are there, all the shiny memberberries, all of it being dumped online at the same time, showrunners with form (Westworld again) and statements like the below from a Collider interview less than a week ago.

"Jonah, video game adaptations are not new. How do you please the fans of the game while also bringing in new audiences?

NOLAN: I don’t think you really can set out to please the fans of anything, or please anyone other than yourself. I think you have to come into this trying to make the show that you wanna make and trusting that, as fans of the game, we would find the pieces that were essential to us with the games and try to do the best version of those that we can. It’s a fool’s errand to try to figure out how to make people happy in that way. You’ve gotta make yourself happy, and I’ve made myself very happy with the show."
 
Casting a woman in the lead role 99.99% of the time basically ensures the show will be bad because she won't be allowed to face any real adversity or have any growth.
Pretty much this. The moment she appeared I just grumbled "great, woman MC" and turned it off. Lost all interest despite not having any in the first place, I legitimately had no idea this was even in production. The nigger in PA is just a shit cherry on top. Guarantee the ghoul is going to be a former beaner caballero or some shit.
 

Amazon released a scene. Have to see more. I'll bet anything that its the black guy in the power armor saving the girl.
My advice to anyone working at the media industry, most of which have ties with Jeff Epstein and the CIA glowies, stop hiring nepotistic people who pretend to act as if they can write. They are not writers, they are hacks, and Geneeva-Dwovert Robertson is a total nepotistic bitch who cannot write to save her soul
 
Terrible dialog like something written for middle schoolers. Expository dialog during a potential lethal gunfight like a comic book movie. Awful acting even from Goggins who seems mentally checked out. The sets look like something from a Disney theme park and not a billion dollar mega studio like Amazon. Jet pack power armor I guess because Star Wars does it. Nigger saving a White female of course.

Also the music is horrendous. Modern drivel and not at all like the original Fallout scores. Sounds like a dollar store version of John Williams.

Like I said from my post above you (and a lot of posts I made about this), this was written by Geneeva-Dwovert Robertson, the same bitch who wrote Tomb Raider 2018 and Captain Marvel. She is less of a writer and more of a nepotist, and everyone in Pedowood and the rest of the media industry keeps hiring nepotistic people that pretend to act they're "talented," when in reality, they are not
