“I’ve never seen something so intimidating yet so goofy at the same time” Welcome to Fallout Nat

It's retro-futurism. It's how people in the 50s-60s imagined the future would look like. The games were very inspired by 50s sci-fi b-movies, mad max, a boy and his dog and such. The series really captured the atmosphere, humor and violence of the games! Almost all the songs in the show are also in the games.

15:30 the turret missing is INCREDIBLY game lore accurate.

There's an in-game weapon called the Junk Jet that uses random trash found as ammo. Hence the plastic baby leg in the chest lol

Walton Goggins is definitely the stand out of the show, he steals every scene he’s in

The censor edit being slightly early is so funny. It's like a spoiler that a curse is coming.

Michael Emerson (the doctor) worked with show runner Jonathan Nolan on a great show called Person Of Interest a decade ago, he played a genius scientist who walked with a limp and had a Belgian Malinois to protect him. And for Fallout he played a genius scientist who walked with a limp and had a Belgian Malinois to protect him.🤣🤣🤣

The lead's eyes are so freaking expressive and I love the way she portrays the quirky comedy too. The new squire that is with Maximus sounds like Charlie Day even though it isn't lol

One interesting aspect of the first episode is that the three main characters are introduced the same way as in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. And the characters behave accordingly.

By the way, the ghoul is Cecil from Invincible

Where he tears out the mic saying " All Good Here !! " it gives out Han Solo flashbacks in Star Wars😂😂😂

I love that Cam corrected the dog breed. Finch and Bear reunited!

Fun fact: the actor who plays the Ghoul did NOT learn anything about the source material so he could judge each scene on its own merit

All of the slow motion shooting and limbs getting blown is a direct callback to the game. As well as everyone seemingly having different ways to speak is supposed to remind you of dialog options, that’s why you always see Lucy trying to deescalate the situation with words rather than a fight at first and slowly that changes, as well as the way Maximus acts.

Fun fact: One of the creators of this series is none other than Christopher Nolan's younger brother (Jonathan Nolan).

One of the biggest pop culture influences in the Fallout ephemera is the 197Os book and film “A Boy and His Dog” - which featured a raider, his psychically linked animal companion, and the dystopian underground vaults.

The DJ Khaled head almost took me out EARLY! 🤣

This show should win all the Awards. It got me playing Fallout 3. Vaults 31-32-33 are the only ones linked...The Ghoul gives me Outlaw Josie Wales vibes.

*Timeline for Context:* Divergence - *1961/1969* The Great War - *2077* Fallout - *2161* Fallout 2 - *2241* Fallout 3 - *2277* Fallout New Vegas - *2281* Fallout 4 - *2287* Fallout TV - *2296*

A big reason why the Fallout universe has the 50s-style appliances is that micro processors were never invented. So their technology developed around cathode rays, vacuum tubes, and nuclear/fusion energy.

Great reaction like always love the "Please Remain Calm" because these standard turrets can't hit shit, even if a target stands still. It's a meme from the games. The name of the Bear thing is a "Yao Gui" A lot of the songs you are hearing, are actual songs that play in the game. It's a real treat for us that adore the game. The knight turning out to be a freaked out and cowardly Michael Rappaport had me cracking up. That last weapon that lucy cut the doctor's head is the ripper from the games lol So a bit of non-spoiler-y background information that doesn't really get explained in the show: The Fallout world basically diverges from ours in the 1940s. Transistor-based technology (specifically micro-transistors, the things that make computers and any compact advanced electronics possible) is never invented. This is why everything is big and chunky and looks like it was designed in the 50s. Instead nuclear technology advances rapidly and becomes part of many everyday household items (the cars, for example, are all nuclear powered). This is why everything has a 1950s retro sci-fi look (and because it evokes that weird 1950s vintage optimism mixed with the ever present threat of nuclear war). Lucy is modelled on a prototypical player character from the franchise. In many of the games you start out as a vault dweller who has to venture to the surface for one plot contrivance or another (in the very first game it was because the water purification system was broken and you had to go find a part, so the show did a bit of a nod to that). The montage of her explaining her skills is kind of like the character setup where you choose your stats and skills. The syringes you see in the show are Stim-paks which are the game's major source of healing. This is one thing that I like in the show. It treats itself like it is the game. When you use a Stim-pak in the game, it heals every thing instantly. Even broken bones. Thus, when you see the Ghoul use it on the dog who is on on death's doorstep, the dog instantly gets up and is 100% healed. The Brotherhood of Steel is a faction that was born out of remnants of the US military based around a pseudo-religious, militaristic tech cult. That's probably kind of obvious given their organization, but there is a direct connection back to the pre-war era, and most of their tech is ex-military from that era, just salvaged and maintained. Depending on the game/location (the games are set in several different locations around the US, with the originals set on the west coast, and the newer games on the east coast, and New Vegas set in, well, Vegas) they can range from fascistic antagonists to chivalric allies depending on the chapter. Much like the medieval knights they're based on. The other big faction to get a mention in this episode was The Enclave. Where the BoS are remnants of the US military, The Enclave are the remnants of the US government along with anyone else they deemed worthy of surviving the apocalypse - the best and brightest of science and industry. They're a tad... elitist, as you can probably imagine, looking down on most of the other survivors, and preferring to interact and manipulate events from the shadows or a distance. Unlike the BoS who focus on collecting and preserving old world tech, The Enclave continued to innovate and advance. Stimpaks, the thing Lucy injects herself with, are the main healing item in the game. So you'll see a bit of video game logic here where a shot will cure any basic wound. And unlike a bunch of other video game adaptations, this show is actually considered canon within the same world as the games. So that's just kinda neat. Keep up the good work.

Goggins killed it in this (as usual)! Also the attention to detail was really cool to see in live action. I’ll definitely watch season 2.

31:03 The song they chose for this particular scene is perfect. "We'll make the film about a man that's sad and lonely...and all I gotta do is act naturally."

omg i'm glad you're getting into it too! it's so fkn good! :D maybe we can play fallout 76 if you're ever down ^_^

Idk who does your editing, but the intros, graphics, mid video animations, theyre top notch, seriously good shit

Oh I'm so psyched about this, you're gonna LOVE THIS

The DJ Kalid nuke killed me🤣🤣🤣

The hit and miss of the beeps and the Fallout logo coming up every time you swear is hilarious. 🤣 Sometimes it's dead on, other times you've already said the word before it's "censored" 😂

incredible effort from the team that created the series. They manage to attract viewers who have no idea about the Fallout universe and at the same time deliver what we hardcore fans wanted. and tell 3 different stories without losing anything. again incredible performance. The soundtrack is exactly the same in the game and makes up at least 50% of the Fallout atmosphere.

I'm going to assume Natalie said "German Shepherd".

29:12 The water chip being broken is the reason why you have to leave your vault and find a new chip, in the first game.

The Fallout games, specially 3, New Vegas and 4 are actually very story-driven, but also very non-linear, because there is so much to, so many quest lines and side quests, all with their own little dramas. But the main arc is always very story driven and compelling. As the fans usually say: no one plays Fallout for the graphics.

Taking each 1 hour show and reacting in only 10 minutes really made me feel like I was missing so much of your reaction.

One of my favorite shows of this year!

Someone give the editor a rise man, amazing job loved every single minute much love from mx💚

This series was a wonderful surprise, great talent all around. Captured the essence perfectly.

Goggins was amazing as the Ghoul, and his "subtle" hints at his emotions and inner humanity still being there throughout the episodes were expertly hinted at through his actions and his voice. Definitely my favorite character, and I love the pre-bombing scenes. Lucy played by Ella Purnell (also did Jinx in Arcane) had the right amount of annoying optimism, but also like, devolving into disappointment as the world isn't what she thought it would be, even if she found a knight in shining armor Speaking of the Knight, I absolutely loved that interrogation scene with Maximus in the first episode! Aaron Moten killed it as Maximus, easy to see the choices a player has to do either the moral OR immoral thing and I think he portrayed those emotions well. Getting a cool set of armor like that in the games IS a pretty fun switch up, but doing so by letting the knight die is one of those "what to do" situations

Been waiting for you to watch this! Hope you enjoy this show as much as I have. 😊

Walton Goggins is one of my favorite actors. He was awesome in The Shield and in Justified

Lucy's been described as Ned Flanders in the Apocalypse.

I was so pleasantly surprised how well this show turned out, so much fun so rewatchable definitely one of the best new shows of the last few years

Geography: Lucy's vault is in what is now known as The Boneyard (LA ruins). Filly was built from a landfill in the area, unclear which one. The Hub may or may not be still standing in present day Barstow (origin of bottle caps as a clean water-backed currency), and Junktown may still be there in the ruins of Ridgecrest. Shady Sands was originally around Darwin CA in Fallout 1, but then its location was retconed in Fallout 2 to somewhere in NorCal, but in the show it seems to be back in its Fallout 1 location. Or possibly President Tandi may have founded a second settlement in NorCal and also named it Shady Sands. The Commonwealth referenced by the Brotherhood is in Massachusetts (setting of Fallout 4), where the East Coast chapter of the Brotherhood is located.

This has to be the best video game adaptation ever made. Fallout is an open world RPG, so while each game is set in the same world, the choices you make determine how the story unfolds for your unique character. There are often dialogue choices where you're given options of how to respond, which will send your character down a different story path, and in the show this is really subtly represented by how how each of the characters pause for a few seconds any time they're faced with a big decision. Every time Lucy says "okey dokie" that's her having just made one of those narrative decisions. Each character also begins with certain stats that you choose at the beginning, and which increase the more you use them, and that's shown by Lucy going over her different hobbies and jobs when applying for marriage. You can kind of guess the other characters' stats. Maximus has high endurance and HP because he always gets beat up but can still get back up, but he has low charisma (e.g. he tries to haggle for a lower price but has to go sell a tooth instead). The ghoul basically has maxed out stats because he's been alive for so long (i.e. played the game longer than everyone else). It's also funny you pointing out how unrealistic it is that the Santa Monica pier would still be standing. That's one of the things in the games that always made me laugh. Obviously they need to have recognizable landmarks in whatever city each game is set in, but sometimes it's so comically absurd that some of these things are still standing that it's basically a self-aware joke.

The young actress who plays coops daughter is such a good actor

Finally! Thank you!

YES EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

Did you know when the young girl first stepped out of the vault , that was a REAL SHIP and a real desert. The filmmakers didn't want her touching the Real Robot suits bc everything she touched , she would break 😂😂😂😂

Walton Goggins is amazing. You should check out the series Justified

Belgian Malinois are like the Rolls Royce of dogs. Strong and intelligent but they need a job to do and a lot of training or they’ll go crazy and get aggressive out of boredom and frustration.

I never imagined Jinx would be so attractive. She's actually British... or Uksih... I found out she was the same actress in an interview.

This was a fun and great show!!

Yes! I'm so excited to see you do this show

This adaptation was a + on my list. Funny Edits with the guts and Dave :^) NAH 17:10 I in fact did not know the Actress for Lucy voiced Jinx in Arcane. Glad she also got a Life action role in front of the cam.

Great show. Great reactions from Nat, and kudos to Cam for ever-improving editing and fun stuff!

Unlike Halo, and the Witcher, Fallout is proof of what happens when a show follows the in game lore.

That yes man edit at 5:37 was so funny and perfect oh my goodness

I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

im so happy with how quickly you caught on to whats happening where so many other reacters were confused. love your reactions nat ♥️

I loved this show, and can't wait for Season 2.

Can't wait for part two. Love the start of this series. Hope it lasts a good long time.

This show is amazing! I'm so glad you are reacting to it.

This was a really fun video! It's great to see a newbie to the lore's perspective on things.

Natalie's watchin FALLOUT, wooo! "Crawl out through the FALLOUT Natalie... when they drop that bomb!" @23:13 Yeap, we're ALL singin' the songs now!

Was waiting for this!

So glad you’re watching this show! Great reaction and great video!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i was hoping she would watch it!!!! im so happyyyyyyyyy

So excited for this

Yay! Been waiting for you to watch this ❤☣️

Ahh i was hoping youd watch this!! ❤

@Natalie, Love that you're reviewing this. It was surprisingly good

Absolutely hilarious that i was looking for her reaction to this just this morning.

Awesome this is gonan be such a fun reaction series lol. I’ve loved watching the reactions for this show.

You can tell how much fun the editor had with this one lol the Yes Man censor was hilarious

YESSS Im so glad you reacted to this! Ella Purnell is amazing and was also the voice of Jynx in Arcane. She is also amazing in Yellowjackets

I nearly choked on my food when Yes Man popped up. 🤣

can't believe she just believed that maximus did that, he's literally one of the main characters bruh, atleast trust him

YESSSS. YEEEEESSSS. YEESSSSSSS. I am ecstatic! WOOOOOOOOOOO

Great editing! 😆

This reaction and the editing were way much more fun than I expected! 👌😊

Watch Person of Interest next please! one of the best modern sci fis in my opinion. it has some familiar actors ;)

wow the colour and lightning looks great on this video opening

using the echo effect for the music to avoid copyright is a nice touch, fits the tone honestly lol

I really appreciated your intro for this show.

I was a little worried when the show was announced that it wouldn't do the game justice but MAN was I relieved when it came out. The show did a great job showing the retro-futurism, the humor and such of the game, I love that they used a lot of the same songs that they use in the game, so much fun walking around in a post-apocalyptic world listening to Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire and The Ink Spots' - I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire.which imo is the most iconic from the games. The Fall Out games were the first that got me to buy figurines and such based off the game, a have a few Nuka-Cola's and some Vault Boy's in my room to this day. The aesthetic is just great. Some nice little...Easter Eggs? That are from the show are the turret that was shooting the Dr, they are TERRIBLE in game and they showed it in the show by him just basically walking without a scratch and the Stim-Pak's just magically healing terrible wounds, like the dog getting stabbed.

Damn, you called the demise of that baby deer so fast. 🤣 I loved how you made fun of the Ghoul's yodeling theme. They played that almost as many times as they showed that refrigerator flashback clip for Maximus.

Ella Purnell, the actress who plays Lucy, is also the voice of Jinx in Arcane. So that's two great video game adaptation roles under her bealt 👍

I think open world nature of the games allows for good adaptation because writers have more freedom to make whatever story they want in that world.

The way I jumped up like a kid with candy when I saw you posted a reaction. IVE BEEN WAITING ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Your intro was perfect Nat 😄

This show is just Naughtily Golden!

Awesome!!!! Im so happy one of my favorite streamers is reacting to Fallout ❤

Not to sure why you are cramming so many episodes in a small amount of time. We love to see your reactions to the incredible parts…

Yes!

Glad you're finally watching this

Fallout is my favourite game series. The show was excellent and did the lore perfect justice. Natalie your hair is awarded prettiest in reaction channel awards. You should play fallout 4 and upload. It’s the best one to start with if it’s new to you

Oh yay!

I'm so glad you are reacting to this series. I know absolutely nothing about the game, but binged the show in one day! I haven't done that since season for of Stranger Things 😀

My 2nd favourite show of 2024 it’s so good

Please never stop doing this Nat 😭, you have most definitely become my comfort KZfaqr ❤️❤️❤️

Doing condensed episodes like this doesn’t feel like we’re actually watching the show at all 😢
