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
You can tell it's gonna be bad because they forgot to say "war never changes"
I bet you that this will be in the show and narrated by Ron Perlman.
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.
Sweet! Well get a season or two and then they'll cancel it just like they do all the rest of the fan favorites.
What the fuck man where the hell did this spring up from? This just started a flame in my heart.
There's not enough wackiness in the trailer. Fallout has always had a thin veneer of grimdark with a whole hidden iceberg of goofy bullshit and it was amazing.
I'm getting huge "missing the point" vibes.
There are a lot of reasons to not judge it yet. First and foremost, the director/show runner has zero input on the trailer. That's all the marketing department, and the trailer is designed to get as many eyeballs as possible on the final product. Numerous examples exist of trailers which bared little resemblance to the movie/show/game/whatever.
Secondly, they buried the lead on the director. Jonathan Nolan did direct much of Westworld. But he also wrote a bunch of award winning films for his brother, Christopher Nolan. Movies like Memento, Interstellar, The Prestige, and Dark Knight. He's no slouch, and I'll reserve judgement until I see it.
While i fully agree, a lot of people won't know what Fallout is, and they kinda have to set the basics first.
With that being said, I question whether Amazon can pull this off.
it's a trailer, it also has to get the normis
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’m on a strict “don’t trust trailers” diet since seeing the new Napoleon film, so I’ll wait and see for this series.
They're going to find a way to release the films with bugs and release a day one patch
I mean it can't be worse than the Halo show, at least this looks decent from the trailer.
Can guarantee it'll be better than getting mauled by a Deathclaw either way.
Oh no... The time has come to shit all over two legendary games again... for the second time.
I haven't found a place in my life for these types of TV series. Looks good though just prefer the complete arc of a movie or a mini-series.
Sets look kind of big budget artificial, soapy? Like that is some wicked blue dye on the suits, very fresh. Lovely hair and makeup. All good though I realize it's just not my thing. A cinematic 90 minute fallout movie laser focused on 2-3 character arcs would be exciting to me.
Yeah it looks like it's artificial almost on purpose. The vault opening and there's a neat little skull in the corner...
Tbh I don't mind shitty adaptations that fan service but I think they are missing the mark on this one. I hope I'm wrong tho.
Honestly I can't wait to watch this. Consider me hyped!
Well I don't hate it yet..
Hope they manage to get the lead's makeup smudged.
Funny, didn't an earlier version of the trailer say "and the studio behind The Boys and Free 2-day Shipping"?
Now it says "fast delivery" with an asterisk.
that was shockingly interesting
this trailer looks better than the Furiosa trailer.
I hope Todd Howard had almost zero creative input
It's going to be good. I can already tell it has The Boys humor in it and the surprise violence. It will be amazing.
Fallout was an aesthetic that told super dark stories. How will a TV capture the vignette of nightmares that are the Vaults?
That could very easily be done, and it's not especially 'dark' anyway.
