Cautiously optimistic. Hopefully it’s respectful to the source material.
It’s a very good setting for a show or mini series, but the way the IP’s current owners have handled it so far gives me pause. Hopefully the writers will be competent enough to not resort to the “radiation and mutations are basically magic” writing that’s been all too common with Bethesda.
I mean, the way Bethesda has taken Fallout, there’s not much that could be ruined, just use a newish setting and go to town
guess i will watch it. lets hope its not complete shit
the trailer looks great and really has that fallout spirit somewhere between funny, gruesome and batshit crazy.
Also great to see Walton Goggins in the cast, he’s a great actor
I love Goggins, this is a perfect universe for his style honestly
He was fantastic in Righteous Gemstones.
Let’s play Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers!
I’m on a strict “don’t trust trailers” diet since seeing the new Napoleon film, so I’ll wait and see for this series.
What do you mean ? Is Napoleon shit; I haven’t seen it yet?
Please 🙏 don’t be shit

So your saying that its good but not historically accurate. I love history but I can enjoy historical fiction just as much.
@Komatik I don’t know if it’s good but I know French historians hate it
I thought it was bad tbh
Didn’t like that it wasn’t historically accurate, but even looking past that it was just boring imo

They’re going to find a way to release the films with bugs and release a day one patch
I didn’t realize Jonathan Nolan was a showrunner. The first season of Westworld was brilliant. And Walton Goggins is good in everything. I’ll give it a shot.
Goggins is what got me on board too.
I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m getting my hopes up.
My hopes have definitely gone up after seeing this trailer. I really hope they don’t pull a Witcher.
I thought this trailer looked fantastic, I don’t know what the rest of you all are smoking. As a fallout fan it was more than enough to get me excited for the series, also Walton Goggins as a ghoul chefs kiss.
Looks a bit cosplay-y, honestly.
But also I’ve never been into Bethesda Fallout, so I’m already not as much of a target for this one, I suppose.
Fallout was an aesthetic that told super dark stories. How will a TV capture the vignette of nightmares that are the Vaults?
I mean… you may have missed how episodic television works. Ironic horror antologies have been a thing on TV since the 50s.
There’s not really any limits for content anymore. Look at Amazon’s The Boys.
The way you play Fallout / Skyrim / Bethesda games might end up being a perfect format for a television adaption.
You can have a main character and follow their travels in a really strange setting. You can have 1 off episodes with perticular styles much like the quests in the game. You can easily switch from a dark horror filled vault to a campy town the next episode. Kind of like the files would have lighter episodes then some really dark ones and occasionally an episode about the main characters.
Because the fallout universe has a lot to be explored you a smart writing team could do a lot.
TL;DR Gimme Twilight Zone in the wasteland
I was not excited for this show until seeing that trailer! Fingers crossed 🤞
to me this looks like the most generic “Hollywood trailer” which is unfortunate but understandable.
TV shows/movies based on games are usually just a cash grab that play on people’s love of the source material, but maybe in wrong we’ll see.

I really disagree on that. Most recent videogame adaptions have been pretty awesome: Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Last of Us, Castlevania. Sure there are some stinkers out there, but the quality really went up in the last years.
Kind of a random though but do you think we will ever see shows done in a more connected way? I mean as of now, all the shows are always done in secret. Why not involve fans in the process? Publish videos from the set as you film and get feedback? Publish scripts, test footage and so on. Yes, the element of surprise would be lost but wouldn’t it be nice to see how the show is made and they see the final product? And maybe even influence it a little bit? I would love something like that. What do you think?
The only reason we watch shows is to get the story. Being spoiled ruins the whole idea of the show. Besides: Even though some showrunners miss the mark, most of the fans ideas of what might come instead are mostly terrible.
No not really. There’s a reason you hire experts to do a job and I for instance hates it if someone try’s to explain to me, a designer, what a good design is…
