Fallout TV show looks cool

[jakerzon]

Written by Nolan also?

[Khauffey]

who's airing this? I've heard little about the whole thing.

[insert food here]

It is being done by Amazon Prime video

? looks bad lol. Like all modern TV and/or movies. It's actually always been that way on average but it's much worse now.

[jakerzon]

You think this looks bad? I wonder what else you think looks bad. I don't know what you mean by modern. Can you give me a range of years or perhaps a genre for which you have a dislike?

Beginning of the trailer looks fan made. Rest is alright. But don't worry. It's going to suck. A lot.

You can see the green screen and cheap CGI effects.

I've said it before, the CGI mutants look fine, literally everything else looks like B-movie level CGI and green screen from 10 or 20 years ago.

Which you can forgive and even enjoy it with stuff like early 90's "LEXX The Dark Zone" and 2005 "Doctor Who", especially because both of those lean hard into the trashy feel.

For a modern 2024 streaming series it just looks cheap.
Hard to explain.

It's like... the Star Wars prequels?

Cool visuals for the time, until you notice everything is obviously super fake and too clean. They used the CGI, but failed to also make what happens affect the environment.
It's not believable.

I got really bad vibes from the Fallout trailer visuals wise, and I'm still pretty positive the drama will be as cheap.

Not looking forward to the whole thing although I will likely watch the first season once completed to make sure, not holding my breath though.

They *will* go for mass appeal with the plot and drama and that means cutting off a lot of what makes Fallout enjoyable for fans of the genre.

That's my prediction anyway.
I have never seen Video Game adaptations that didn't suck sweaty donkey balls except for "Postal", and that's only because the material is so terribad not even a hack like Uwe Boll could ♥♥♥♥ that up.

[jakerzon]

So you dislike the video effects and the drama but you'll watch it anyway.

[Halcyform]

Trailers often take liberties in an attempt to garner interest and often appear better than the product itself.

With that said, even the trailer looked pretty low budget and it's almost certainly going to stretch to check a bunch of diversity boxes.

If it becomes available for viewing somewhere, I'll [try to] watch it, but I won't spend one dime on it.

[RACHMANOVSKI]

I think the Amazon is fine.

[Mooman]

All those T-60... cut and paste... they have the same 'battle damage' and scuffs...

The fact the BoS are a powerful force is enough reason to say "Skip!". Bethesda really love those Nazi metaphors for some reason... (Plenty of evidence who they are based off, much of it in FO76).

Why its bad? Not canon to mainline Fallout and for some reason the brotherhood of steel embodies religion which basically doesnt exist in the wastelands

[AlexSledge]

It'll be good, maybe even great. Johnathan Nolan did several other things I thought were great, and the fact that him playing Fallout 4 impacted work on The Dark Knight makes me think so even more.

What's going to suck? All the pissin' & moanin' from the far right & left yahoos who think that a fictional universe somehow challenges their ethos, but what're gunna do? Stupid people keep having kids.

[RandyBobandy]

If they wasted Walton Goggings for a damn zombie ghoul I won't be wasting my time for that...

It is canon as stated by the producers. They even consider it a kind of Fallout 5.

That's the problem... they are adding canon into the West Coast that has a fairly open ended one due to New Vegas.

The BoS are another problem too. They are quazi religious technocrats, but the issue is they have over time become more a copy of the Imperium of Man from WH40k than they should. Their tech and power should be limited, not in your face.

But, whatever. It's Bethesda's IP and they are free to do what they want with it. I just wish people who 'love' the BoS realised just how much is copied from Nazi history and how indirectly that makes their fans Nazi too... (Or maybe they know and embrace it...).
