There are so many bad reads on Maximus. He's not dumb, or untrustworthy... he's a scared, bullied kid that's a bit naive because never really grew up. He built up this image of what he thought the BoS was/should be because they 'saved' him, and he's trying to roleplay that heroic ideal. That's why he let Titus die, because he didn't measure up. He thought he could trust Thaddeus so opened up to him, only to feel betrayed and threatened, so went into self-preservation mode. He's intent on getting the head because he needs to prove (and save) himself.

The line “Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how” is honestly as relevant as “War, war never changes”.

I like how they were all against Maximus getting the gun but Maximus proves that he knows how the wasteland works.

Blows my mind every time that Thaddius' actor is 42 lol

Maximus really be running that int 1 build where he only gets the low int dialogue options, bro literally keeps saying the worst possible thing he can in every situation.

It's amazing how many people don't pick up on the fact that there are *TWO* separate bombing incidents - one 219 years ago that forced the vault dwellers inside, and one that destroyed Shady Sands when Maximus was a kid. I can't work out how people are missing it, they show Maximus' origin story fairly early...

Why were y'all shocked when Maximus shot at those fiends on the bridge? Y'all were on Lucy's side with showing their weapons but he's lived on the surface for a longer period of time so it makes sense that he knows how those type of exchanges usually go. She would have gotten them killed.

Normies completely missing that people from 31 keep being elected Overseer, making an entire conspiracy where 33 and 32 are being completely replaced by 31 xD

Lol first reactors I've seen that actually trust the fiends on the bridge. Lmao I guess it makes sense that the Normies would actually fall for it.

All of the Normies would have died in the Wasteland. They really trusted the folks on the bridge! The only reactors to think Maximus was stupid for wanting the gun.

Bc I binged all the episodes, every time a reactor drops a fallout video I have to think “ok what happened in this episode again” lol

Okay, nobody is defending Max, so I need to step in here for the little brotha: 1. "You stupid MF, you know this is all your fault": "You gotta be the worst fucking squire there is". We KNOW Titus was gonna woop Maximus' ass the minute he got that stimpak, and then just get himself a new squire. That isn't even a if/maybe, that was a fact! Max was done for the moment Titus got on his feet, especially in a world where "it's not a problem, we got plenty of squires". 2. We know that "squires who fail their knights" get a bad end. Rapaport went at great lenght about what was gonna happen to Maximus if he showed up alive and his knight dead: "They string you up by your lungs, they hang you, and they let the vultures come get you". So, what exactly was Maximus supposed to do here? Now we all know Maximus is a bit slow and relies entirely on his Luck stats and Idiot Savant perk to survive because otherwise, his inteligence and charisma stats must be on the negative numbers. But you can't fault him for using his multi-concussed brain to come up with this dumb story, hoping that showing up with the head would save him from the BoS' wrath.

While I agree Maximus just keeps saying the worst thing he could say I honestly think it stems from him feeling like the truth would just make people not like him or trust him even less in some weird way.

Everyone but Suraj completely misreading Maximus. They're mistaking incompetence for malice. He's a good person

Maximus might be my favorite character in the show so far. I know a lot of people prefer the other two, but what I like about Maximus is that he's a wild card, an unquantifiable spark. I can tell where Lucy and Ghoul will end up more or less, but I can't tell where Maximus is going to go. Is he going to end up a hero, anti-hero, or villain? It's exciting not knowing, and I'm curious to find out.

Yo... How you gonna call Maximus dumb while you fall for the fiends on the bridge? Leave Maximus alone; he isn't supposed to act like he's watched a bunch of tv

The show: So, all the people from 31 who went to 33 were chosen as overseers. Suspicious. The Normies: WAIT WHAT IF THEY WERE ALL FROM 31 ORIGINALLY? Jesus, media literacy these days...

The hate on maximus is totally weird to me, like why, even when he told the two cannibals he wasn't armed, that was a smart choice, and you guys still hate on him why?

6:51 Aside from the fact he just got burned telling the truth 😅

okay not EVERYTHING is a direct nod to the games. When shes shooting the gun shes not holding it "just like the games" shes just holding a gun bro

The 3 biggest things Ella Purnell is known for is playing Jackie in Yelllowjackets, Jinx in Arcane and Dave Batista's daughter Kate in Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead.🙂

I’m pretty certain that Maximus has the Idiot Savant perk, as that’s one of the only reasons he’s been able to last this long.

And the Normie tradition of completely misreading the situation continues with the fiends on the bridge. EVERYONE was like "say your armed, just go!" I call it the Lasso Effect... It's honestly wild.

"why you hesitating" hes picking a speech option. the other person usually just idles when the character decides

also since chris talked about skippy (the talking gun from cyberpunk) , once he tells you to return him to his owner, you can put him on v's gun wall, and every time you walk in he screams "bad user, bad user!!" i fucking love that game lmaoo

4:26 "Aaahh... wire" moment. It's called a fusion core 🤣 and last episode Suraj called karma 'morale'. 💀 5:46 "the way she aims is just like the game" huh? 💀 why are Suraj and Micky pretending to know about Fallout lol

Fiends are legally distinct from raiders. Raiders ‘can’ on occasion wind up eating the soylent green of people (but will go for most else if they have options), Fiends specialize in it and make weapons out of the bits they don’t eat.

All Maximus had to say was, “we were attacked by a Yao Gui, Titus was mortally wounded so he ordered me to take his armor and complete the mission.” But Maximus is running Idiot Savant so…

Makes you think that Overseer Hank must have known what was happening in Vault 32 all along.

DONT SCARE ME LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN

I really didn't think they'd even go back to the vault after the first episode... but as cool as everything is upstairs, the vault became the most interesting part of the show.

Lucy is when you play a 'good' playthrough. The Ghoul is when you play an 'bad' playthrough. Maximus is when you play to whatever choices suit your needs at the time. 😂 He's the morally grey character.

Maximus stats from in game. 7/10 Strength, 6/10 Perception, 6/10 Endurance, 5/10 Charisma, 4/10 Intelligence, 7/10 Agility, 5/10 Luck He is basically below average smarts and average in social skills.

10:51 "The Normies and Vault-Tec bring you an explosion of flavor!" [DISCLAIMER: NOT A REAL NUCLEAR EXPLOSION]

You need to start giving warnings to headphone users for whenever Marketa screams.

i was watching this when it was cut by youtube and then the whole normies channel was gone, but now its back thank god

Maximus isn't evil IMO, he's just impulsive. He doesn't think anything through. And what is it about the Brotherhood and,destroying people's feet??

Id assume that the Power Armor has a T on it because its T-60 power armor? Guessing its for Titus makes sense, but something that standardized in shape etc seems original to the armor, not like its been added.

this episode made me think about something crazy, Lucy reminded me of Dorothy wandering in the Land of Oz, Maximus is the Tin Woodmen looking for his heart, the Goul is the Scarescrow who lost his mind and Wilzig was the Cowardly Lion (who found his courage to leave the Enclave), I have other analogies but they could be classified as spoiler so I will leave it for the future lol

Ella Purnell is Jinx from Arcane.

Thank you Normies 👍 Wish you guys the best And very happy the channel is back-up on KZfaq

A cockroach that huge would definitely chew through that armor, might take some time but it will. Bro would be long dead by then though.

You looked at Ella Purnell's filmography but didn't notice Arcane? I guess you guys know by now, but I wanted to see the moment of realization.

I heard a theory that Maximus has "idiot's savant" and its now my personal headcannon.

Maximus was a fool to tell Thaddeus anything before their mission was over or at the very least elaborated what really happened to Titus other than saying "He's dead". Maximus keeps making the worst decisions, minus with the fiends.

I can't wait until you guys get to the last episode

The way I see to this point, is that the broadcast with the rats might be indicative of how the vaults are managed. If they gave them an utopia, it would make them crazy and kill each other but if they gave them struggles and constant survival then they'd thrive. Maybe 32 wisened up to the plan.

10:49 If KZfaq ads were half as good, I'd immediately deactivate my ad blocker. That was hilarious.

the vault-tec ad you guys did was 10/10

I'm so excited to see their reaction to... let's call it THE TALK, next episode. Also, why would they bury anyone with their Pipboy? Don't they need to hold on to those for future generations?

For me this proves maximus knows how the wasteland operates, he literally looked up to the knights and was disappointed, he tried to save a man getting beat up and found out the dr was fucking a chicken, he sold his tooth, just to get a 2 sec fix, he doesn't know anything about lucy why should he trust her with his real name?

Remember in the first episode, it was mentioned that both 32 and 33 had a famine, and 33 came out of it in better shape.

I used to think Spidey was cool. What is with all the light skin slander?

Spent entire episode hating on maximus... Maximus is correct about bridge encounter danger and saves lucys life.... Normies say nothing. HATERS

The fallout commercial bit >>> lmaoo

"what's a vault to a non-believer" 😂😭

The reason Maximus lied was because he proclaimed to be Titus in Filly. If he said his name was Maximus then she would be even more hesitant to trust him. But since he’s already lied, he’s stuck in the lie if he wants her to trust him immediately before they both die.

SWEET AD. The norm is short joke was hilarious

2:31 ughh someone gonna check on Chris… what was he doing here 🤣🤣

'feels like all the vaults are social experiments' check out the fallout bible. Provides all kinds of weird niche details that never quite made it into the first 2 games.

Ella Purnell is the voice of Jinx in Arcane (was hoping you guys would see that at the end)

24:58 she is also in Arcane

The bridge crossing is a perfect Example of "community counselor de-escalation officers" at work. [ Insert parable of the scorpion and the frog ] Yeah, Slogan's like "Hope and Change" Have a strong effect on the weak mind. Every overseer of significance came to vault 33 from vault 31. Every. One. Every gamer ever looked at that "go here" light in the hospital and screamed TRAAAP! 27:11 The first bombs fell in 2077 and the Ghoul used to be a Marine, BEFORE He was an actor. He beat maximus because he is intimately familiar with the armor the war in the alaska campaign. T60s are prewar tech.

why was suraj so wild at the beginning hahahaha

10:11 - Fistbump to Suraj over here killin' em softly.

Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing

11:05 Nice

this channel came back quick.

what happened to the channel a couple minutes ago? i was about to watch this until it said "video is no longer available because the uploader has closed their KZfaq account"

Yesterday is a mystery, tomorrow is a mystery. Todays a gift, that’s why it’s called a present That’s legitimately pretty cool lol. So is, a bird in the hand is worth a toe in the tush 😂😂

LETS GO YOU BACK!

"Remember that man I left with with the whole body?"

Democracy manifest! Get your hands off my jelly mold.

Ella Purnell also voices Jinx in Arcane.

Dope ad 😂😂😂 12:22

Betty saying she buried his mom made no sense. There's no cemetery in the vault.

They could sell badges that say "I voted for Betty".

Ella Purnell is also the iconic Jinx.

Todd Howard is a huge Indiana Jones fan. It makes more since why Maximus survived in a fridge during a bomb drop. That's the only connection to that I would think.

All of my homies are Normies. ...That's really clever! 😁👍

Waiting for SALAAR movie reaction 💥🔥🔥

Gentlemen! This is democracy manifest!

Maximus must have idiots savant

I love being Hap Slappy😂

Suraj's hair is growing out so beautifully.

Cant wait for Goosey MacLean

Man Spidey really is racist

The PhillyD jab was so accurate.

Let’s effing Go!

Nice daredevil tshirt

BEST COMMERCIAL EVER!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is an older show but you guys should check out killing eve ... if u havent already watched it lol

Great Ad 5 stars!

That's actually a nice commercial but having a Japanese product with nuclear themes is definitely a choice 😁😅

She’s Jinx!

Helldivers 2 moment

LOL ad your Advertisement

Nice sponsor segue lmao

How come you guys don't seem to be doing trailer reactions anymore?
