>kills a knight in the episode after because the guy is an asshole and he wants his armored suit.>gets in the suit>starts rocking out because he's so happy with his new suit. Not a sign of remorse or struggle.Was she a poor judge of character or is it just poor writing? Or maybe she was just defending her buddy. Anyways, first episode was great. 2nd episode felt jarring in comparison to the first one. Only seen two episodes so far.
>>198521461Never watched itNever will
>>198521461Nigga is going to get a whole vault of people killed just because he's a selfish faggot. Terrible show.
>>198521461They both smile conspiratorialy when she says the, 'you wouldn't hurt a fly' thing. They were implying that the two of them had done something violent together that they were keeping secret, or possilby that she knew about something violent he had done in the past. Maybe you were looking at your phone and didn't catch that? A common character writing technique is to hint at a lot of stuff like this that you can later elaborate on, or just leave mysterious, depending on how the audience responds to the specific hints or the charactgers in general. Imagine his friend in training ends up being a huge fan favorite, for example? These kinds of hints lets them maybe start the next season with a long flashback showing whatever they got up to together here.
>>198521544>Maybe you were looking at your phone and didn't catch that? I'm gonna try my best not to take that as an insult. But yeah, I must've missed that.
>>198521483Nobody cares
>>198521461man the armor looks goodThe shows aesthetic is pleasant
>>198521648>Nobody cares
>>198521461man the armor looks shitThe shows aesthetic sucks
>>198521461Titus basically threatened to kill him and was also a pussy blowhard. And Michael Rappaport. What was there to be remorseful about?
>>198521666Yeah. The whole thing looks pretty good. Especially the sets. I like the style of the whole show. The fight scenes do look a bit crappy.
>>198521668I apologize, you're right. Here's your Medal of Honor for not watching a TV show.
>>198521684Kek, no argument there.
>>198521680It looks cheap.
>>198521461how did so many people watch it and not realise that maximus is meant to be a piece of shit?
>>198521461>Maximus' quotes on Fallout wikiholy shit lmao
>his dog saves her from being eaten by a giant cockroach>He sits there in a chair>goes on a monologue about cockroaches>leaves her behind, walks off into the night.Wtf
>>198521831he's actually a good representation of black men in western society today. Feel they are unfairly persecuted when it's actually just them failing to live up to societal expectations that all males face, who then resorts to stealing from the white man and trying to appropriate their position without earning it, eventually having naive white women throw themselves at them since they are too dumb to know that they are imposters, finally being given position/significance they never should have gotten by politicians looking for clout while flaunting the laws that govern society.
>>198521461It's a completely shallow husk that serves the purpose of pushing the "agenda" of interracial, strong women, evil white men, it doesn't need to be discussed beyond that because the purpose is to push the agenda ONLY. The story is a suit for the agenda, go watch anything, you are watching the agenda in a different suit, that is as deep as it will ever go because Jews hates whites.
>>198521977seems like woke shit to me lolManages to fuck up yet gets a cool power armor and kisses a white girl because of woke reddit writers
>>198521998The asshole guy getting killed is Jewish.
>>198522021That's the only good thing he didEverything else is slop
>>198522006Based retardLucy is basically a child mentally, she just thinks he's good because he's a knight (which she obviously only knows about from books, probably Arthurian stuff where they're virtuous etc)
>>198522050>Lucy is basically a child mentally, she just thinks he's good because he's a knight (which she obviously only knows about from books, probably Arthurian stuff where they're virtuous etc)Based retardYou overanalyze this tranny slopThe actress is pushing 30
>>198522083It's not about the actress dumbass, she grew up locked in a room with a couple of other people and no exposure to the outside/real world She brings up the knight thing the first time she sees the armour
>>198521483Ultrabased
>>198522105Hey dumbassI've never seen a nigga knight in storiesIt's woke reddit slop
>>198522105>no exposure to outside worldyou'd think getting raped would make a girl think about the men she consorts with, but actually the show is on point with that...
>>198522156Humiliation ritual
>>198522129>im just mad about a black guyaight but that has nothing to do with anything I said. can't you just go cry about it on pol?
So Lucy is probably pregnant with a radioactive kid right? And the ghoul will end up looking after her because he sees parts of his daughter in her.Also, Maximus struggling to free his foot from a wooden floorboard after they had just built the suit up to have superpowers was silly.
>>198521461Did the show writers intentionally make every black character a piece of shit?I saw Maximus and Lucy as better done versions of Finn and Rey.
>>198522156sometimes a gal just needs to make a cock explode anon
>>198521831the nigga tries 2b good, you can tell from the flashback when he was a kid and the robo helped him. the world literally fucks him over even if he tries hard to do good again and again
>>198522185>Cries about PolAight but how about you analyze the show on Reddit
>>198522197>I saw Maximus and Lucy as better done versions of Finn and Rey.All four characters are badly written
>>198522192I think that the raider was probably radioactive as shit anyway, his balls were probably microwaved years ago.Even if his gamma-ray nut blast took root, drinking radioactive Brahmin piss had to toast her womb like a leaf on a griddle.
Why did he love the frog?
>>198522214He canonically has an int 4 and charisma 5 stat.
>>198522247Because of Amazon
>>198521461he's just behaving like what a player would behave in that situation, same with the womanthe show is targeted towards those who've actually played the games, and if you don't like that kind of writing then there's nothing wrong with that
>>198521461This show was fucking stupid. If the ghoul knew the weakness of the armor why didnt he just kill maximus in their first fight? Ultra muttoid brainrot.
thaddeus is sexy hot
>>198522272>he's just behaving like what a player would behave in that situationsometimes I forget everyone isn't the angel of destruction on steroids
>>198522300that's after beating the game
>>198522295The Ghoul uses a shotgun against Maximus because his hand gun is out of ammo.
>>198521921pepe eyes
>>198521461He was a little bitch but the squires probably do get mistreated such as the Knight being a pussy and sending him in first in the cave but let's be real, he did do some seriously passive aggressive shit or straight up evil shit
>>198522329I play with custom difficulty mod with +500 NPC damage and still come up top in almost every firefight, usually get killed by unspotted mines or turrets only
>>198522394>+500+500%
>>198522021We know he's meant to be white
i'm in love with thaddeus. he is so sexy hot.
>the knight is a total piece of shit dumbass for absolutely no reason other than the audience sympathizing with the nigger when he kills himquality writing
>>198522386Remember Titus knows he's a second choice fuck up and thinks he sabotaged trans girl to take her spot.
>>198522269This image just looks like whitewashed Moldaver.
>>198522340How convenient
>>198522461>Being a piece of shit is a justifiable cause for getting murdered when you are in a helpless state. If Maximus doesn't turn out to be something else than a wimp, it's bad writing
>>198522483>>198522269i thought it looked a lot more like the tall bitch from vault 4
>>198522505but he is a wimp, only times he tries to act tough it's to impress someone
>>198522269Kek
>>198522340It's actually not a shotgun, but a lever-action rifle, which still would have been more appropriate to use on the unarmored villagers than his 4-shot magic anti-materiel revolver.
>>198522511That one has a slimmer face.>>198522505He didn't murder him. He just didn't help him. Basic self-preservation.
>>198522295he used up all his vats on the villagers
>>198521461Most people would have killed that knight and took the suit let's be honest
>>198522535He didn't know Maximus was going to turn up.>>198522488At least it's logically consistent.
i hope they'll give thaddeus a handsome boyfriend and we get to see them kiss
>>198522597I get that, but he still used presumably expensive heavy bullets to shoot a bunch of dipshit villagers in the middle of town instead of waiting for Ben Linus from LOST to be on his own outside where he could at most blow the head off of two people.
>>198521461He was made out to be a joke throughout the whole season and as someone that's dishonest. If anyone sympathizes with him then they're misguided. He's a coward that harbors violent thoughts, when he finally gets the Power Armor he starts acting all righteous because he feels that's what he needed to be a good person. He is so convinced of that fact he is willing to let a whole vault die because he doesn't want to lose his power.I hope they do give some development to his character in S2 because as he stands, he's just a coward sociopath.
>>198521831Because the writing is shit? The show can't decide if they want to make him bad or good
>>198521524A vault full of deranged side show attractions, he's a member of the Brotherhood they are violently hateful of anyone they deem mutants.
>>198522661He threw a handfull of bullets on the floor too.>For the tomatoes!
>>198522700The reason he takes the fuel cell and doesn't want to give it back is literally "but muh power armor doe". Nothing to do with them being muties
>>198522686he's a bad person who occasionally pretends/tries to be good.
>>198521483grow up poorfag
>>198522711pretty sure those were bittle caps anon
>>198522678He's Chaotic Neutral to Lucy's Lawful Good.
>>198522661To be fair, if I had an actually working mini-bomb revolver that makes people explode into chunks I'd use that every opportunity I could.
>>198521483Based Chad
>>198522784That would make more sense.
>>198522121>>198522822>i didnt do thing, look at me>4Chanchuddies: OMG SO COOL SO BADASS BASED BASED BASED POGGERS!
To all Fallout trannysThe games were never good to begin withBecause of that the show sucks
>>198522955no one's ever said they were masterpieces
>>198522976>no one's ever said they were masterpiecesReddit trannys say that both the games and the show are master pieces
>>198522976They're considered classics.
>>198523017They're overrated
>>198523021They are products of their time. They are rated fairly.
>>198523006maybe you should go post on reddit instead then
>>198521483Same. Reminds me of that totally organic dnd shilling we had here for months. Doesn't matter how much you try I will never watch your slop. My goodwill tank is empty and I have an enormous amount of old media to yet partake.
>>198523047maybe you should go post on reddit instead then
>>198523063Lmao I remember that
Wait I just finished the show and they never explained how the NCR leader Mendoza or whatever her name is was able to freeze herself.I'm going to presume Twin Peaks guy had her frozen as some kind of retaliation for spying.
>>198522747Well Maximus was established fairly early on as being retarded so Idk if this is bad writing or if it fits hos character. But yeah the only good part of this show is Walton Goggins and literally nothing else.
>>198523189Probably had something to do with the Flame Mother cult or Vault 4's cryo tubes.
>>198521483I feel sorry for you
>>198521461Yeah I hated maximus. He was a borderline sociopath who keeps profiting from the suffering of others. He's dumb, cruel and weak, but he keeps flopping upwards.>>198522700 see this would be a reasonable explanation for his callousness, but he was perfectly willing to call them neighbor before. He doesn't even seem to care about their mutations. >Lots of people have one eye.He has few if any principles, he just takes the most profitable solution in front of him
>>198525302>Yeah I hated maximus. He was a borderline sociopathhes green recruit, scared shitless, not a trained soldier
>>198521461>his entire family and town are nuked>shiny knight saves him>"maybe one day I will be a shiny knight">instead is bullied (and not in a way everyone gets in the military, thanks to mad Thad he gets singled out)>also is dumb but obsessed with powered armor, the only thing he kinda knows>gets blamed for something he didn't do>gets a second chance>but his Knight is an asshole>makes a decision to put his survival over the dogma and gets a sick-ass suit of armor out of it, fulfilling his lifelong dreamdamn right he's ecstatic, that's the absolute zenith of his life
>>198525392even from the start, he was happy the one person who was nice to him on base got her foot mutilated, just because he was jealousdudes just rotten and no amount of training will fix that
>>198525590I'm just honestly shocked they made a black guy such a terrible person in 2024
>>198525590>even from the start, he was happy the one person who was nice to him on base got her foot mutilated, just because he was jealousyou know sociopaths keep that kind of stuff to themselves
>>198525527you forgot>lets superior die>first by doing nothing as yao guai violates him>not scared; stood there smiling>then by watching him die of internal bleeding
>>198525679Titus forgot the first rule of being in command
>>198525679>internal bleedingthis shouldn't have happened, even medieval plate armor protects its wearer from the weight of a horse crashing on them
>>198521483Yep. Female lead in an adaptation of a video game clearly for males? And a big to boot. Pass
>>198525679>first by doing nothing as yao guai violates himdo you know where to shoot to kill a bear? I know and I wouldn't want to try it with a pistol
>>198521461>Anyways, first episode was great. 2nd episode felt jarring in comparison to the first one. Only seen two episodes so far.Literally me. Just finished EP 2. After the first, I was saying "man /tv/ is retarded, this show is okay. It looks nice" and then ten minutes into EP 2 it starts getting a little retarded.(Reddit space for visual clarity)Regarding Maximus, he looks like a straight villain so far. Dude is clearly super resentful of authority and betrayed his superior out of nowhere. At this point, I assume he DID put the razor in his tomboy friends' boot, right? He looks like the sort of lash-out personality who maybe doesn't think of himself as a villain, but his behavior says the opposite.
>>198526006>and betrayed his superior out of nowhereTitus got himself killed, hes the trained soldier out of the two, hes the one with the trillion dollar R&D armor with sensor suite
>>198525392He's been with the Brotherhood for 15-20 years and he's still green?
>>198521461Whites arent humans. They are less than flies. Its ok to steal what was stolen from POC
>>198526006>At this point, I assume he DID put the razor in his tomboy friends' boot, rightHis friend admitted to doing it to herself in one of the later episodes.
>>198526712>He's been with the Brotherhood for 15-20 yearsclearly not studying or training
>>198526940He did fine against the guys who tried to take the armor and against the fiends.
>>198526980he had quick reaction against the fiends, but he nearly got killed by the scavengers in philly
>>198521461What kind of gun is that? Why does it look so retarded?
>>198527086He was outnumbered.
So what is the /tv/ consensus on this show? Did we like it? Did we hate it? The show is very popular so desu I'm leaning towards /tv/ probably hating it.
>>198527160he basically botched it and then lucked out>>198527167>So what is the /tv/ consensus on this show? its not bad and has potential for greatness if they really dial it in
>>198521483/thread
>tfw no trad vaultdweller wife
>>198521483wtf are you me?
>All this discussion on Maximus His character made fucking ZERO sense. Honestly it seems like they had several different directions they wanted to take his character, but could decide where they wanted to go with it so we just get this schizophrenic mess of a character. Like seriously at various points he is>Full on sociopath>caring good guy >Super proficient and skilled at combat>absolute doofus who can't fight to save his life
>>198521483based slop ignorer
>>198527483how I read him is hes naïve and inexperienced, scared but not a coward
>>198527167good set design effects and action but writing was pretty retardedthey also took shortcuts with the worldbuilding, like having too many non fucked up animals around and lack of surface cultures
>>198527542Yeah it does portray him like this. But then we get a scene where he deftly pulls Lucy's pistol out of her holster and guns down two cannibals before they can barely get a shot off. And that's not even touching on the borderline psychotic behavior of him killing his knight and then pretending to be Titus for a couple of episodes (for whatever fucking reason) and then just dropping it and not really touching on it again.
>>198527167Like this anon said >>198527625 they did a good job capturing the world's asthetics but some of the decisions they made with the lore I flat out hate. I don't care that it's spoilers, but having Vault Tec be the ones who actually first launched nukes is a fucking retarded decision. And them doing it again to Shady Sands.
>>198525792probably not, but I guess West Tek's engineering was that fucked up, seeing as even the later suits are apparently riddled with design flaws
>>198522700That's the Enclave. Literally the antagonists of the second game who profess all wastelanders to be mutated and without use similarly to how The Master had only use for Prime Normals from Vaults, untained by radiation. Brotherhood hordes technology. That's about it. Otherwise in the Fallout series, they'd be huge fucking antagonists because literally everything is mutated you dipshit. There would be no difference between the two if The Brotherhood was as anti-muti as you say.
>>198525527>>198525679Some of this is supposed to mirror the feelings you get playing the games. For example Maximus watching Titus dying and taking his armor is supposed to be the same feeling in the games when you watch a high level enemy kill another high level while you stand on the sidelines and get to loot gear that's what higher level than you are at the moment.
Replaying Fallout 2 and Wilzig is a almost 1:1 homage to the doctor in NCR who has the robodog. Thought that was cool.
>>198527969Yeah the show really does go deep in homages to the video games. I'm assuming this is Todd autism? I can't imagine the actual amazon show runners gave too much of a fuck.
>>198521461>female protagonist doesn't have access to information about events she didn't witness yeah that checks out.
>>198521483Shut up tranny
>>198521483I kneel
>>198521461you wouldn't kill michael rapaport?
>>198529661he got himself killed, honest!
>>198522775i am not mentally poor enough to watch this garbage, you retard>>198524616I feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to watch this shit

I thought the Brotherhood preferred to use plasma weapons, I'm only 2 episodes in but I haven't seen any yet.
>>198531994enclave are the ones using plasma
>>198532152In the show? I've only played New Vegas.
Did I land on planet retard or something? Why is everyone either confused at the flawed character being flawed or trying to defend his actions?
>>198521690>The fight scenes do look a bit crappy.The fight scenes are incredibly crappy. Don't know if they were trying to ape VATS or something with all the slow mo but it didn't look good. Even Goggins couldn't save it. Most everything else about the show is pretty good though. Watched it twice now.
>>198521921He was just passing through, pardner.
>>198522083>she's mentally a child>But she's pushing 30Are you sure you're not the retard?
>>198531994They just prefer heavy, hard to manufacture tech in general, this applies to their weapons, which tend to be energy and complicated ballistics. These ugly asf Todd guns make me wanna puke no more how complicated tho.
>>198522156>rapedWhen did she get raped? She willingly fucked her husband in the first episode and hasn't gotten fucked since. Willingly or otherwise.
>>198522240All she needs is a little Rad X and Rad Away. Ginger Charlie Day otoh shouldn't have trusted the gimp arm guy from Scary Movie 2.
>>198521461shes defending her buddy you fucking sperg how can you be this retarded

If I want to check out one of the older Fallout games should I get Fallout 1 or 2?
>>198522340His handgun is a shotgun, though.
>>198521461>nigger maims tranny because his monkey brain feels slighted >nigger murders his superior because he wants shiny suitis he the comic relief?
>>1985325932. It's the same game, but with some tweaking that improved the game.
>>198522524I think I counted 3 or 4 times where Maximus's personality changed 100%. Dude is schizo as fuck and should become a villain by the end of Season 2.
>>198532593Start with 1. If you manage to get through and want more then play 2.
>>198522799>Chaotic NeutralMasquerading as neutral good.

SAAAAAAAR PLES WATCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT BURNS SAAAR PLS JUST WATHC AAAAaaaaaAAAAA
>>198522955Yeah they were. The classics play like classic TTRPG adaptations like Baldur's Gate or NWN. 3 and NV are literally just Oblivion with guns, which I never had a problem with. And 4 is a solid shooter thanks to Bethesda acquiring iD. The quality of the writing has always been pretty consistent too. Don't think I've played a Fallout game whose writing was bad enough to make me quit. Then again, I haven't played BoS or 76 yet.If you can't find enjoyment from Fallout games then it's either just not your cup of tea or you're a contrarian. Atom Punk Rockabilly aesthetic is kino. Simple as.
>>198523655Goggins, Lucy, Emerson(excluding the Luck 10 turret barrage) and Dogmeat are the show's saving graces. And 1 of them is dead by Episode 2.
