Someone make a thread on this: https://chrisavellone.medium.com/fallout-apocrypha-tv-series-review-part-1-c4714083a637 He makes some juicy comments.

Apologies that this is mostly a tangential response to your really great encapsulated history post. This convo probably deserves a thread of its own, maybe even a different forum, but I feel like the fate of Fallout is just so common in beloved '90s hits. So many franchises get one big game...

At least they admit these:

The funny thing in the second episode is that the Ghoul says six agencies put out the bounty on the scientist. So despite civilization not rebuilding, there clearly is some sort of society going on if there's bounty hunter agencies communicating with each other and the settlements, and thugs in...

Looking back at this thread, especially at that Rifts Chaos Earth cover, I wasn't meaning literally red-white-blue "camo" suits so much as the Enclave to just have a more sense of American branding. Like more eagles in their iconography. More stars. More flags in their base. Just a roundel or...

lol guess it ended up happening after all https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Patriot_paint

Totally normal guy who's okay with doxxing and death threats to fans of some dumb video game

I just mostly know it from the bit in this video where he says that the show went through several show runners- including firing the original one after one season- and Kirkman was also an influence. Sounds like TWD had less cohesive creative control behind the scenes.

The Walking Dead is definitely comparable to this show as that was a post-apocalyptic tale with one cowboy character and normies loved it. It also made a mess of the lore of the original except the actual creator of the graphic novel got involved and it didn't help matters. Despite it, people...

Quite honestly, you could say the same about most '90s classic games. There are very few high concept video game series that are consistently good. There's probably something to be said about how the late '90s was itself a lightning in a bottle, the tech was there to make a timeless game (not...

He's a Goon of Something Awful, get it right.

It would be ironic if Bethesda ended up using an unpopular (and minor) part of NV canon, as well as Avellone's own words, to justify why they "had to" destroy a much-beloved part of the universe. The people making this show are probably too lazy to dig this deep (pun unintended) to...

Also, RETVRN

Fallout fans should be inured to disappointment now. But then again, Star Wars fans should be the same, yet at this point of the fandom there's people uncritically celebrating the Expanded Universe and forgetting that the '90s to the '00s was an ambiguous at best time for the fandom, and while...

Yeah that’s fine, I’m just listing them as an example of yet another thing that exists and that one can latch onto as their pure perfect interpretation of Fallout. Though aren’t there several ones that attempt to create Van Buren? Gonna start claiming that Fallout Tactics was the only game that...
