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.
Its amazing how dumb this show is when you stop and go episode by episode and point it out. Absolutely nothing about the characters, their actions or the overall arching story makes any sense. Its all incoherent at best to just illogical shit at worst.
These shows are written so that if you miss any scene it is inconsequential as the information shown in that scene will be repeated another dozen times. The main characters will announce their plot line out loud like it is a videogame quest over and over. "I'm looking for a ghoul". "I'm looking for a man with a dog". "I'm looking for a ghoul carrying a head". "We're in a Vault". "We fell into a Vault". "This is a Vault like the one I grew up in". *same exact flashback of nigger child hiding in fridge shown repeatedly*

You don't have to pay attention. You could probably remove all of the dialog in this show and it would make almost no difference. In a show like The Wire you practically have to pay attention like you're one of the detectives because there is so much information. This show might as well have characters using Bethesda Speak like / Yes , Yes , Yes , No (Sarcastic Yes) / with single word sentences.

This show is also one of those shows written by committee. You get a dozen writers, have them crank out eight episodes between them, and then just do your best to edit a cohesive story together. It's why the characters behave erratically. They had ten people writing the same character with no consistency or continuity. One writer wants the female to be brave the other wants her to be naive and lucky but in the end she comes off as schizophrenic.

I wish we live in an alternate world where Geneva Dwovert-Robertson and other nepotistic influencers who pretend to act as if they're "talented" get fired from the industry
 
The “twists” on this show are extremely obvious to where I don’t think you can call them twists. The pee oh cee vault leader actually being the good one and the yt being the villain was obvious from the beginning. Also Lucy’s face reminds me of Brian Peppers and now that I see it, I can’t unsee it.
You don't have to pay attention.
This show is written for people who are on their phones while “watching” the show. That way nobody really misses out on anything.

Modern nepotistic "writers" who work in the industry cannot write an actual story to save their souls, and this is a huge problem with the modern day media industry
 
It's a Gundam's review of the show is out:
We'll see if the sellouts who went after Synthetic Man will do the same to him.

Now that the dust has settled, is there any way to calculate how successful the show was in terms of profit and viewership? Or do we have to accept "65 million bots pajeets viewers, it's a total success fellow shareholders" narrative at face value?

It was probably hugely successful as a flash in the pan thing of the moment but I haven't heard anyone talk about it in quite awhile and even media/drama YouTubers stopped talking about it.

It doesn't strike me as the type of thing that has staying power, no one's going to watch this more than once.

Nowadays, things only are talked about for a week (or even a minimum of three days) before people move on to another cashcow of the week

People still talk about classic movies, shows, or games. People even talk about terrible things like Game of Thrones or Mass Effect (usually in some ultra optimistic delusional hope of a full reboot that rewrites the mistakes). People will still read Tolkien or Shakespeare. Your head is just clouded by social media use (or addiction). If you stop using social media you'll find tons of people who watch and read older media and stories rather than consume the next product.

That being said this Fallout Amazon show looked like it cost next to nothing to make. Though it had a reported budget higher than House of the Dragon or Succession. So with the tax breaks and hollywood accounting it probably still made money or came close. Most of the money in this show probably went to Nolan or the other producers.

Many things that have claimed to have high budget projects still look cheaper than a typical fan film or a college student project. The rest of the money is gone to ESG, Vanguard and BlackRock banks

This is Lost, if Lost had a pre-existing continuity to fuck up. It keeps on setting up mysteries and big reveals that don't actually gel- its lime they had 5 or 6 stories they wanted to do, and just did all of them without any concern for how they would or wouldn't gel.

-How is Muldaver still alive? If she was from 31, why didn't she have her own Pip-Boy?
-What happened to Vault 32?
-How did they clean it up?
-Why was the Ghoul doing birthday parties if he knew the bombs were about to fall?
-How did the Enclave wind up with a bit of Vault-Tec proprietary tech?
-What's the scientist's connection to Muldaver?
-How does the Brotherhood enter the picture? How do they know the critical piece is in his head?
-Why would Lucy listen to the psycho bitch who, as far as she knows, massacred Vault 32 and half of 33?

And so on and so forth. It's got that Riverdale thing of wanting shocking moments without thinking them through.
 
-What happened to Vault 32?
This is something I really thought they would explore in the series but they never did. Seems like a cut plot line which would be really fitting for a fallout title.
Personally I thought they were implying the people in Vault 32 underwent some form of civil war/mass revolt, either due to a lack of food or something else, but its never really expanded on.
-How did they clean it up?
How did they get a nuke to Shady Sands? Vault Tec clearly has some grand secret army that does its bidding at a moments notice without question.
-Why was the Ghoul doing birthday parties if he knew the bombs were about to fall?
To be fair to Cooper, He probably assumed Vault Tec wouldn't drop the bombs until his Ex gave the go-ahead, and his Ex probably wouldn't do it on a day where he had his daughter. This adds a bit to the whole "Vault Tec planned to drop the nukes but didn't actually." theory.
-How does the Brotherhood enter the picture? How do they know the critical piece is in his head?
I believe its said someone put out a bounty on Wilzig, which probably included some fine print about returning the head if not Wilzig entirely, plus its safe to assume the Brotherhood has some spy networks out in the wastes that can learn stuff.

Most of this is theory crafting which I feel like was the point of a lot of the decisions, force people to make up their own theories to keep people talking about the show for longer. Most of this shit should have been greatly expanded on in the show.
