It May Fit With Current Entertainment Thinking But Is It Entirely Realistic That You'd Send A Lone...


... Female out on an initial exploration on behalf of an enclosed society looking to examine how harsh the literal outside world is from their comfort zone?

Now, I appreciate you aren't supposed to be able to ask this question and indeed some people on here will no doubt be frothing at the mouth as they furiously hammer away at their keyboards, questioning the sexist nature of this question.

But the thing is - and don't get me wrong, I've written many a post / thread arguing against the anti-wokester brigade on a number of subjects - is it at all realistic that you'd send a lone, slender-ish female out alone to explore an unknown, potentially harsh and hostile, environment?

I mean, this is supposed to be real life, not a movie where she'd be all sing, dancing, kung fu-ing, etc. So is this an unrealistic premise?

Or is it realistic? Is this a possible life imitating art sort of thing? Could we get to a future where we become so conditioned to female supremacy, that we'd actually leave some hulking big muscly black dude say, kicking his heels in a vault, and send out a little white girl to get a measure of things?

Again, apologies if this is offensive to anyone - I appreciate we're not supposed to be able to raise such a question...

I would think they'd send the best physically equipped male they had or an undesirable like in 12 monkeys.

This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't make a post complaining about something you haven't seen and making a bunch of assumptions!

reply

Why?

I made the post based upon seeing the trailer. No assumptions were made. Did I have something wrong?

reply

Yeah, in the series, they don't send Lucy MacLean out into the wasteland, she sneaks out over the objections of the new overseer. Her father has been kidnapped by raiders who got into the vault, and the new overseer doesn't want to send anyone out after him.

Sounds okay then 👍

Here's that teaser trailer though:-

Did the first 30 seconds of that get removed? Because the way it's presented there it doesn't look like she "sneaks" out...

How did the raiders get into the vault?

reply

Lucy's vault is one of three interconnected ones. The raiders got hold of a pipboy belonging to a resident of vault 32, used it to open vault 32's door, and then killed everyone in that vault. Then, wearing vault suits belonging to their murdered victims, they impersonated vault 32's residents when 32 and 33 conducted one of their periodic exchanges of goods, information, and genes

Thanks.

I just added a wee edit to above post with link to the teaser. Would appreciate if you could let me know it that teaser bit showing her exit was changed.

reply

No, it wasn't changed, but it doesn't show her jabbing the guy who opened the door for her with a tranquilizer dart to prevent him from coming with her. And you do hear one of the two people she's with in that scene yell "stop! Lucy!" when he sees her walking out alone -- not what anyone would tell someone who is being deliberately sent out. The two other characters in that scene are her brother, and a guy who is sweet on her, which is why they are helping her sneak out.

reply

I heard the guy shouting but just assumed it was someone who didn't want her to go.

The guy on the left seems to have a suit on and the main vault door is just being opened, so it doesn't look particularly sneaky, hence my assumption she'd been picked to go out and was being watched leaving.

But as I said above, it sounds okay the way you've described it. Thanks 👍.

No one sent her to explore on behalf of anyone. I'm sorry that you wrote that big long rant over nothing. Wow, and so much navel-gazing. Just worthless. The haphazard slashes and dashes, false verbs and your obvious attraction to the hulking big muscly black dude ... we can clearly see that you tried here. "A" for effort!

reply

And I'm sorry you wrote your big long rant over nothing as well, as you clearly failed to read the posts DIRECTLY above yours which explained the reasoning of the OP, and decided to just to go with misdirected virtue signalling instead...
