Anyone seen it yet? - Fallout (2024) Discussion

[–] UncleRuckis (2564) a month ago

I liked it so far. Ella Purnell ismuch less annoying in this compared to Army of the Dead. Walter Goggins is awesome as always. And the Brotherhood guy seems interesting. Not a bad watch at all.

Keep in mind, I'm not one of those assholes that see's "wokeness" in every frame of every show, so they might have a different perspective.

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

ok, so you openly admit its wokeness? :D

I will have to watch it.

reply

[–] UncleRuckis (2564) a month ago

I admit that the things idiots typically bitch about in every movie and show absolutely exist here too.

- Main Character is female = woke
- brown skin female running a gang of raiders = woke
- some of the villains in the first episode were white guys = woke
- The main characters brother was a weakling too chickenshit brave the apocalypse = woke
- 2nd main character is black = woke (this times 1000 if said black dude hooks up with Ella Purnell)

How am I doing so far?

Well, you watched it rather than spend that time whining and saying "woke" as many times as possible, so not well.

reply

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

You pretty much convinced me that it's very woke. Good job.

I hope that's not the only "quality" of the show.

[–] moviechatterer (13606) a month ago

I've seen the first two and enjoyed them .

I'm not coming back to this board until i've finished the series seeing as its just full of bile and hate propagated by total bad vibe merchants

[–] tvfan (8898) a month ago

LMAO, so woke is ok, but you’re too sensitive when others bitch about the wokeness.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (13606) a month ago

no feel free to bitch away .
I just wont be reading it (which im sure wont concern you) , at least not until i've finished watching the show .

I do enjoy reading and responding to whiny insecure anti-woke warriors on shows I'm less invested in.

reply

[–] tvfan (8898) a month ago

And yet, you're been whiny about the 'anti-woke warriors'.

AND YET, YOU'RE BEEN WRONG.

HE IS JUST POINTING OUT THE TENDENCY YOU SENSITIVE FLOWERS HAVE OF RUINING ACTUAL DISCUSSION.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS, SUSAN.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (13606) a month ago

not really
The 'anti-woke warriors' are complaining about something - thats the being whiny part .
I then respond telling them I can enjoy the show and they could too if they could get over these barriers they have invented - their insecurity at seeing women and black people on the screen.

(some would call it racism and mysogeny , and indeed i have in thepast but im trying to put a nice spin on thoer mental deficencies these days )
Actually , having said that I just called one of them a KKK member - but he has made a special sock account dedicated to this kind of whiny bitching called "AbolishWokeness" so I figure that coupled with the bluntness of the racism in his posts he deserves it.

reply

[–] tvfan (8898) a month ago

Yes, really.

It doesn't matter what they call it.

You and the woke brigade of SJWs whine about everyone else that complains about the most cancerous and destructive ideology plaguing our society.

When wokesters like you stop supporting the woke-virus and Pedowood stops pushing it, than perhaps you will not hear the "anti-woke warriors" complain about it so much.

[–] Skavau (10067) a month ago

Women having leading roles in some shows is "cancerous" and "destructive"?

Interracial relationships are "cancerous" and "destructive"?

reply

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

Who complains about women having leading roles?

Who complains about Wonder Woman? About Ridley? About Sarah Connor? About atomic blonde?

But yes, replacing everything with women IS “cancerous” and “destructive” especially when the rest of the movie/show is shit.

reply

[–] Skavau (10067) a month ago

Multiple people on this board have implied exactly that.

>But yes, replacing everything with women IS “cancerous” and “destructive” especially when the rest of the movie/show is shit.

Is that is what is happening?

reply

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

Not 100% and everywhere but yeah. Ghost busters? "Oh, look at us. only women, so brave and strong! The movie is shit but who care when you have women that are brave and strong".

Even 007 was almost changed to a black woman ...

Is there something written into Ghostbusters that any remakes must only be white men?

>Even 007 was almost changed to a black woman ...

Can I see a source here please?

"Is there something written into Ghostbusters that any remakes must only be white men?"

So what do you have against white men?

I don't know about you but I want the movies that I watch to be good movies, not shit driven by propaganda!

Women being leads automatically makes it propaganda?

They made a role for this woman. She was called "Nomi". You do realise Daniel Craig was still the titular actor in these movies, right?

reply

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

"Women being leads automatically makes it propaganda?"

Dude, can you read??

"Who complains about Wonder Woman? About Ridley? About Sarah Connor? About atomic blonde?"

Movies with women leads that are NOT propaganda. So ... no.

"She was called 007" Fixed for you. I said 007. Dude, really, CAN YOU READ??

No, I didn't expect her to be called JAMES Bond, WTF???? And, again, that's not what I said, I said, textually 007.

reply

[–] Kowalski (61053) a month ago

TEXTUALLY 007😂

reply

[–] Skavau (10067) a month ago

So what would make a remake of Ghostbusters where the main cast are now all-female be inherently propaganda?

>No, I didn't expect her to be called JAMES Bond, WTF???? And, again, that's not what I said, I said, textually 007.

And she didn't *replace* James Bond.

reply

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

If you don’t understand What makes the female ghost busters propaganda … sorry but it’s not my problem.

Do you have problems reading or understanding?

She did replace James Bond as 007.

reply

[–] Skavau (10067) a month ago

I meant in principle. Not speaking of that particular movie. What is in principle wrong or propagandistic with redoing a movie but replacing the whole main male cast with females?

>She did replace James Bond as 007.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Time_to_Die

Cast:

Daniel Craig as James Bond:[5]
A former MI6 agent who was known as 007 during his service and has been retired for five years at the start of the film.[6][7] Director Cary Joji Fukunaga compared Bond to a "wounded animal" and described his state of mind as "struggling to deal with his role as a '00 agent'. The world's changed. The rules of engagement aren't what they used to be. The rules of espionage are darker in this era of asymmetric warfare".[8] Craig stated that the film is "about relationships and family".[9]

Lashana Lynch as Nomi:[20]
A new "00" agent who entered active service some time after Bond's retirement and was assigned the 007 number.[21][22] Lynch hoped that her character would bring a new layer of relatability to the world of espionage, saying "When you're dealing with a franchise that has been slick for so many years, I wanted to throw a human spin on it—to deal with anxiety and be someone who's figuring it out, completely on her toes".[23]

James Bond is still the main character. Who cares that she has 007.

Ok, keep eating shit.

[–] moviechatterer (13606) a month ago

For me its what I would call a "non issue" . I dont push for it , I dont mind it.
Therefore I'm not gonna go grey getting all wound up and crusading on line .

It is certainly not "the most cancerous and destructive ideology plaguing our society"
Even if the amount of interracial couples on tv adverts doesent mathematically represent the amount in real life ( i know this is a popular one to get het up about)
.... who gives a fuck?
why is it important ?
are you bothered if the amount of red cars vs blue cars on TV matches real life?

reply

[–] tvfan (8898) a month ago

It is certainly not "the most cancerous and destructive ideology plaguing our society"

Yes, it most certainly is.

The fact that you don't recognize it, proves that you are indoctrinated and brainwashed by it.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (13606) a month ago

well , take the amount of pain and distress you're feeling over this non issue , and then multiply it by 100 in order to imagine how women and minorities and LBGT people must feel - the ones that have actual real world problems of inequality not imagined ones, ones that really exist and are not some imagined persecution complex -

OR merely the inequality being removed in other areas.

reply

[–] LanceDance (1089) a month ago

Dude, don’t speak on behalf of us minorities. Your white-knighting only makes yourself look worse. The system is rigged in our favor, even though all we wanted was to be treated like equals. Swinging the pendulum the other way has only prolonged issues.

If by some chance you yourself are a minority, then any problems you might be experiencing are likely self-inflicted.

reply

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

So focus on those areas instead of pushing for over representation in an irrelevant area.

Currently on 5. It's OK. Definitely not as bad as Halo, but could be better.

1. Pick up the pace. You're putting me to sleep. More talking...more talking...more...zzzzzz.
2. Get rid of the comedy. This isn't supposed to be "Monty Python's The Holy Fallout."

reply

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

Have you ever played Fallout 1 and/or 2? It even has easter eggs from Monty Python ... so I'm glad that you're wrong on that aspect.

It's filled with comedy, and I saw one episode and it has the perfect dark irony/comedy moments.

reply

[–] SickSpazmoid (737) a month ago

Actually, it is kinda supposed to be Monty Python of the Wasteland. Either you never played the game, or the humor totally missed your gray matter.

reply

[–] xfool (926) a month ago

not bad but could be better , its kinda like westworld where all the main characters converge towards the end of the season. Most of the humor seems lacking and sometimes awkward like the part where Lucy was sentenced to 'death' by banishment...

reply

[–] asom (6562) a month ago

Yeah, doesn’t feel like a fallout show, more like a show set in Fallout universe.

reply

[–] SickSpazmoid (737) a month ago

I really liked it. Much of the enjoyment comes from the exploration of the wasteland and its weird inhabitants, and the slapstick. Fallout happens to be my favorite game, so maybe I'm biased. The story is so-so. I was not convinced by the "the rich want to rule over the world" thing. The plot was lifted from "Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia", but there is nothing bad in that. Actually it is reminiscent of a bunch of "weird wasteland" movies, but the game itself was influenced by them. At places it tried to looks like Spaghetti Western but failed - apparently they think that it is all about the costumes and the music.
