Haha!! I like some of his vids....but man, his teeth are so bad, it's hard to watch.

And yeah, some of these guys hate everything. It's like applying the Cinema sins filter on anything. I'm sure Mauler could take The Godfather and make a video about how shit it is.

 

[Hardensoul]

They aren't going to change a damn thing. Even with the retarded writing the show is a hit. There is no incentive for them to improve.

I try not be too pessimistic. But after what the same writers did to West World. You are kinda right. But I'll give next season at least one episode before deciding to continue.

 

[Kadayi]

I've been citing the potholes and bad writing since the first week and especially before I saw others like Mauler said the same. But I also did say I enjoy some of it to finish and check out S2.

The criticisms need to be said and heard. So that the show runners can improve in S2. If not I'll likely won't continue watching.

There is always room to improve, as to whether they're going to take advice from the likes of a perpetually angry internet man like Mauler is another thing entirely though.

Shit pisses me off because unfortunately the grifters tend to get given a lot of exposure in terms of the angry internet man trope and that in its own way undermines legitimate criticism of things. I watched a video the other day by Neverknowsbest giving his 'take' on the sweetbaby inc stuff and a big thing he does throughout is just show these frothing idiots screaming like absolute lunatics all the time (esp HeelVsBabyface).



I certainly don't agree with his take, but at the same time these perpetually angry chuds just hand him ammunition to point at them as they blow bloodvessels.

Let's not pretend that the Netflix Fallout series is some pinnacle of quality drama and writing, even in the ramshackle writing that Bethesda has done in it's own entries of the IP it bought. Disregarding the shitty writing of this show, it is quite evident even if you hate a youtuber point it all out, the fact that Todd is retconning the lore or signing off on fucking up the timeline as canon is enough for fans to rightly point it out.

Netflix?

Also, no one is pretending it's Succession when it comes to the drama stakes.

 

[WesternBlood]

Netflix?

I'm sorry Amazon.

Same level of genius in their writing rooms, it is so hard to tell which is which.

It's a Gundam considers consuming products without asking questions: Fallout

Basically agree, trash show for fallout fans, good show for normies

Vault4 episode was so bad.

I saw him ranting on After Hours with Drinker a while back about Fallout, while pretty much everyone else on there was 'That was fun for the most part' and that was enough. Drinker is a bit more measured in his criticism with his takes versus most and albeit he will rally against 'The Message' isn't so unforgiving, whereas Mauler is perpetually unhappy with everything and lets you know ad infinitum, ad nauseum 95% of the time. Certainly better than the likes of HeelVsBabyface who is the nadir of youtube criticism, but Mauler isn't much better than flopsweat Disparu when it comes to his takes IMHO. 2 hours to tell us why a series isn't great is about 100 minutes too long, still its all about the grift.

I agree with the general direction these people are going for, but disagree quite often with their individual takes as well..

It's hilarious when they take down something that's really awful like that Robyn Hood crap. But usually I just notice that I just cannot get as angry as they do about most movies.

Seems I am entertained easily enough.

People get bent out of shape over all sorts of inane nonsense. I remember when Game of Thrones first came out I was hanging out on some Book Readers forum at the time and they did a Podcast about the series and every episode they put out could be summarized as 'People who don't understand how TV adaptations work complaining for 2 hours'. IIRC one of them ranted for about 10 minutes because there were potatoes in some scenes and they were frothing over the fact that Potatoes were never once mentioned in the books.

I used to just enjoy hanging out there to wind them up in the comments after a while. Not that I stanned for the show (it had its issues for sure), but the way they'd get het up over the series not exactly following the books was pretty funny. The inability to comprehend the limitations of filming and budget in particular was a never-ending source of amusement.

In both Dune and Dune 2 threads I've expressed my lament that I felt that a better road to have gone down to fully encompass the complexities of Dune would have been to make a big budget HBO tier TV series versus the 2 films, given they still had to cut a lot of content from the book and certain decisions regarding timeline I felt undermined the narrative in Part 2. However, at the same time, I enjoyed what DV created. I've seen Part 1 at least 10 times now, and Part 2 3 times now. I think overall they work as films. Hell, I even own the Art Book for the first and will likely pick up the same for the second at some point.

I would like both Avellone and Sawyer's input on this as well.

Finally got Avellone's input:

I finished it. I liked it. It may not be perfect, but for modern day streaming TV standards, it was above average at the very least.

I hated the cyclops CGEye really badly, and there was a distractingly awful de-aging scene. There were some moments I might not have written or gone with, but overall, I thought it captured the feel of Fallout nicely.

The Skin Colors and Genitals checklist was in full force, but at least they hired actors who can act (minus the tranny). My biggest pet peeve of the DEI Mafia is when they just hand a major role over to Black Lady #814 who has never acted before and it ruins the whole project. I didn't feel any of that here.

 

[Stouffers]

Finished it. Enjoyed it.

"Gamer" Girl:


lol. lmao even. To be fair not being good at Fallout 4 is ok, since it isn't a good Fallout game.

We learned an awful lot about the characters and the way they interact and talk with each other and the exciting possibilities for different encounters between characters who maybe haven't met each other yet. But we also figured out how to make all the monsters, and there are more monsters, more environments, more factions that we are currently designing and building right now to begin production quite soon. So we're really excited.

It's the same feeling I had when "Batman Begins" went into the world. I had worked on that for a little while with my brother and then written the script for "The Dark Knight" for him. And I just thought, 'We built this thing. Let's see what it can do.' And that's the same feeling we have right now. We've built this thing, and in Season 2, we're going to find out what it could do.

Go inside the epic production of Season One, from Vault to Wasteland, with the cast and crew of the Emmy-nominated series.

They're really going hard to make the main female protagonist be a badass compared to her male counterparts

Walton Goggins is the best part of the show by a mile

 

[Grinchy]

I always liked him, but I know he went pretty mind virusey

 

[Stouffers]

He was fine in Silicon Valley.. I liked that show but stopped watching after Miller exited

Goggins is morphing into Jim Carrey
