List of Best Rated TV Series as voted by the Fediverse
There is a fallout movie, it's called A Boy and his Dog
I didn't like the series, mostly because it was very vanilla. I would have much preferred if it was based on A Boy and his Dog, many of the 80s Italian Mad Max clones (2019, After the Fall of New York), Neon City and even something like Turbo Kid.
An arguement can be made that to make social commentary effective you need a bit more subtly.
The idea that games, books and comics need film and TV adaptations is like this weird cultural chauvinism where there’s a pending order to media types, and it’s not enough to merely be the best best possible game or whatever it could be.
Movies and TV also get game adaptions.
Fallout shouldn’t have a show or a movie.
I'd argue The Last of Us shouldn't be a show or a movie.
It is character focused, and even though the show is good, it's fundamentally an adaption of a story which has already been told.
Fallout (as a series) is less character focused, and more focused on the world - which is very fleshed out, making it a great platform to build upon.
You could argue the games already contain meta-narratives in book-form; often the story of the locations you visit is unveiled through progressive terminal entries or notes.
I see no issue with telling another story within the world Bethesda/Obsidian have established, which retain the core feel of Fallout, minus he player choice.
One might say "but the player choice is what makes it Fallout".
Fair, but isn't hearing the stories of another persons experiences with the game just as interesting as your own?
Fair enough if that's what you think, but I've played them all, going back to 1 and 2 on computers where I had to check the system requirements, and I find the show to be very watchable and fun. Have you given it a chance?
I’ve watch the two seasons, played since the third
I love how they now give Todd howard for doing nothing. Literally everyone can do that. I could've done that years ago, but i waited for the right time. I'm a genius
I'm just sitting here waiting for the mysterious stranger to appear. I'm generally enjoying it though.
If there ever was a deus ex machina in a TV show that would be appropriate, it'd be this.
Why? Show is great.
That's what they're saying.
