White woman + black man = instant pass.
Any race (except nigs themselves) coalburning = instant pass.
Every single relationship in the show is interracial. The past dude is white dude on black woman. Jews throughout the vaults. It has every Amazon/Netflix stereotype.
That one little clip tells me to not bother with the show.
That girl doesn't have beady eyes, she's got big wide eyes in fact.
It's two heads pressed against each other.
It's a sign of just how massive her brain is. There is so much cranial space required for her brain that her eyes are bulging out.
Yeah, that's it.
Oh I was looking on a smaller screen earlier, so the heads was awkward.
I don't know beady, big, wide, whatever. They remind me of Cortana on Halo Infinite and I'm not a fan.
Definitely not woke though. Definitely a great show, canon aside.
Female lead. They/them. Black cohort. Come, on.
I was making fun of soctatic and am now explaining the joke and feel bad doing so.
On the woke scale it's in the middle. It gets progressively woke during the season.
Considering the scale...that does not inspire confidence.
Especially since the first season is always the least woke.
I didn't notice it really get more woke, though I did notice them erasing Fallout lore more so might have been focused elsewhere.
Apparently on of the Bethesda workers is on Twitter saying New Vegas is still cannon so looks like they realised they opened a Pandora's box
You will. No point starting when we know how it ends.
The problem you may encounter is that I think the woke argument is going to fly past a lot of the viewers on this as it's not so obvious compared to show Halo or Suicide Squad game
The ones not knowing anything about fallout will either like it or not based on the setting and writing (which is really hit or miss as only two characters are done well)
The actual fans if the Fallout franchise, are more focused on the possible lore erasure that they won't care about the woke stuff as much as Bethesda erasing their favourite lore so in this instance, the woke stuff is really the moon behind the Jupiter.
The show explicitly, 100% inarguably made New Vegas non-canon, but a producer saying "nuh uh it is canon actually" is enough for media literacy people.
I'm not saying that it justifies it, only that even BETHESDA knows they fucked up, which is quicker than Disney as it only took 1 show compared to Disney’s 3 films before they realised they fucked up.
To me the later episodes had a very anti-capitialism slant and the lack of China was the apparent woke things.
Or they're just doing damage control. They realize they went in too hot, so now they're dialing back. They're going to boil the frog properly now, erasing New Vegas from the canon more gradually. That, or they'll use more canon-friendly ways to render it completely pointless to the timeline. Like saying the Tunnelers went in and killed everyone in the Mojave or something.
lol, lmao even
I was being sarcastic, you autists.
Considering we've got a bona-fide, true believer in the comments....
I personally thought you were mocking him, but even then I wasn't sure enough to vote one way or the other.
I 100% was in fact!
Poe's law my dude.
kek
There was an lengthy post a couple of days ago "reviewing" the show and how it wasn't that bad. Shit was long so i just skimped thru it.
I don't recall it mentioning the main girl boss was also a coal burner. Pretty big fucking point to miss.
That is an instant pass for me.
I wonder how much they paid the shill...
I replayed Fallout 1 last year. It really doesn't feel like the same universe as everything from 3 on. The Bethesda stuff is more like Borderlands. New Vegas was pretty good though.
Walter Goggins was the only thing worth watching in this stupid thing.
After episode 2 I just skipped to his bits.
If you have absolutely nothing to do, this isn't the worst thing you could watch.
When the first thing I saw of this show was a poster that had a vault dweller, power armour, ghoul and a German Shepard (not the blue heeler Dogmeat was actually based off) I lost all interest. I knew it was going to be a director's rejected script wearing a popular IP like a skinsuit and the marketing team is just trying to memberberry the consumers.
It’s also now canon that the Brotherhood of Steel respects they/them pronouns.
Every Amazon/Netflix stereotype.
When the most competent characters is the her white gamer brother and a over 200 year old white ghoul who cut her finger off infront of her, you know it ain't really going the woke angle, as the Black woman suggested nuking the world for money.
The black guy is basically Finn and the girl....is a naive idiot so represents a control group vault dweller well, good job.
Haven't seen it, but the woke casting and choice of characters can't be ignored.
Put it this way I'd rather a woman and Black guy play those roles than have a stupid naive white guy making the mistakes she does or a white guy fumble as much as the BOS guy does.
It's like arguing there's too many minorities in a slasher horror film.
Amazon has well-documented DEI mandates for its output. It's by virtue of existing woke.
I'd say the mandates are why ended up with some of the casting but it's slightly negated by all the diverse cast being incompetent and stupid while the two main white guys are the best characters.
It's basically like Barbie where a feminist production justified patriarchy.
I found both of them tiresome.
"No ghoul no glory" sums the show.
Basically, I kept wanting to see more of Cooper either pre war or as a Ghoul,he was the best character along with Lucy's brother
