    What the fuck man where the hell did this spring up from? This just started a flame in my heart.

    Sweet! Well get a season or two and then they’ll cancel it just like they do all the rest of the fan favorites.

    There’s not enough wackiness in the trailer. Fallout has always had a thin veneer of grimdark with a whole hidden iceberg of goofy bullshit and it was amazing.

    I’m getting huge “missing the point” vibes.

      There are a lot of reasons to not judge it yet. First and foremost, the director/show runner has zero input on the trailer. That’s all the marketing department, and the trailer is designed to get as many eyeballs as possible on the final product. Numerous examples exist of trailers which bared little resemblance to the movie/show/game/whatever.

      Secondly, they buried the lead on the director. Jonathan Nolan did direct much of Westworld. But he also wrote a bunch of award winning films for his brother, Christopher Nolan. Movies like Memento, Interstellar, The Prestige, and Dark Knight. He’s no slouch, and I’ll reserve judgement until I see it.

        J. Nolan also did “Person of Interest”. It’s a lesser-known show but it was very good.

        It felt like a classic 80s show at first(the hero is a badass supported by an eccentric rich guy to help random people) but, without spoiling it, it takes a very interesting turn.

      While i fully agree, a lot of people won’t know what Fallout is, and they kinda have to set the basics first.

      With that being said, I question whether Amazon can pull this off.

      My hopes have definitely gone up after seeing this trailer. I really hope they don’t pull a Witcher.

    I mean it can’t be worse than the Halo show, at least this looks decent from the trailer.

    Can guarantee it’ll be better than getting mauled by a Deathclaw either way.

    I haven’t found a place in my life for these types of TV series. Looks good though just prefer the complete arc of a movie or a mini-series.

    Sets look kind of big budget artificial, soapy? Like that is some wicked blue dye on the suits, very fresh. Lovely hair and makeup. All good though I realize it’s just not my thing. A cinematic 90 minute fallout movie laser focused on 2-3 character arcs would be exciting to me.

      Yeah it looks like it’s artificial almost on purpose. The vault opening and there’s a neat little skull in the corner…

      Tbh I don’t mind shitty adaptations that fan service but I think they are missing the mark on this one. I hope I’m wrong tho.

    Funny, didn’t an earlier version of the trailer say “and the studio behind The Boys and Free 2-day Shipping”?

    Now it says “fast delivery” with an asterisk.
