Hello everyone I bring dark Tidings as the corporations have decided to mess with another one of our favorite typs and the reason that I am not very hopeful and I am very skeptical about it is because it’s the current year like whenever you take an IP which is well
Established whether it’s a video game or a movie or a TV show that has been made in the past already I have my defenses on like I am already going to be incredibly skeptical precisely because it’s current year um so I look at the marketing I look like
How how they’re advertising it and what while the things that they are saying here aren’t necessarily problematic to the Fallout IP the very fact that they don’t Begin by explaining what the universe is by by trying to to talk a little bit about the story uh and instead they focus majorly on social
Justice it makes me assume that the writers are more interested in social justice than the actual law and the universe that they are treating again I could be wrong but so far I haven’t like how is it that every single time I could be wrong but time and time again it
Turns out that I could be right you know why can’t we apply the same logic we apply to hate speech like speech that may offend and we should apply it to to TV shows it it’s it’s a TV show that may be [ __ ] right so uh I I definitely am
Not going to give this a watch unless uh people and reviewers are going to say that it’s actually good but I really doubt it just by looking at the marketing right so instead of like talking about uh how I don’t know the Mojave desert is in danger and the Vault
Dweller can save it or they they can talk about the California republic U bickering with the Brotherhood of Steel no they they’re going to talk to you about that this is going to be viewed Through The Eyes of a strong woman okay like this is the selling point a very
Very strong woman stronger than your mother uh stronger than your sister stronger than all the women that you know put together this woman is very strong this is what the marketing tells us right so uh I have never seen this in modern media like I am so glad that
Finally someone decides to treat the arch type of the strong strong woman uh cuz I am so bored of anime you know where you have the wholesome woman the the sensual woman the the feminine character yeah I’m bored of those tropes and what I want is a strong woman so
Apparently uh she’s going to lecture us right like like that’s how you know she is strong like she is so to that she’s actually going to lecture us this is the marketing team explaining what the show is about right so isn’t this how you want to spend your afternoon is isn’t
This how you want to spend your time and money by by watching the strong woman lecture you through the television station cuz I personally am all for it I mean this is why I watch entertainment to be be lectured right like I will imagine that she is my mother didn’t
Have that great of a childhood so she’s my mother lecturing me about my biases so so basically uh she is called Lucy a v dweller which is played by an actress that I’ve never heard of and uh apparently so many of us have such naive
Ideas even now right so in 2023 all of you guys right including the director Nolan they’re having naive ideas about everyone else’s experience es and the thing that he loves about America is that it’s this giant manic collection of different experiences and different points of view right so
According to the person who’s making this movie Romania is this country where everyone has the same point of view uh the entire continent of Africa is probably this continent where everyone has this point the same point of view he would probably be right about China though CU if you
Have different points of view there it may be very problematic okay but but America is different right so America has like I like the rest of the world according to Nolan America has different points of views and um Lucy will be used to moralize two viewers I mean I’m
Already sold I mean holy [ __ ] where can I sign up I want to see this Lucy is charming and pluy and strong very to to to to be strong like it you cannot have a character that is not strong you know the the people that made the digital C
And they created pomy that is not how you do a female character Without A diversity hag working at your company you are going to fail so the people who made the digital circus they need the diversity hag in order to to help them make the strong woman it’s the
Only character the only Arch type that’s allowed so so Lucy is going to be that Arch type and then you see that she’s confronted with the reality of hey maybe the supposed virtuous things you grew up with aren’t NE necessarily that virtuous okay so the movie is going to subvert
Our expectations okay so if they are virtuous they are couched in a circumstantial virtuousness it’s a luxury virtues you have the point of view because you never ran out of food right you guys were able to share everything because you had enough to share so in other words what this TV
Show according to Dolan is trying to tell the viewers is that actually there is no virtue right it’s okay to rob a store and you shouldn’t judge the people robbing your business because maybe they grew up without food I mean makes perfect sense right CU that’s why crime
Happens crime only happens because of poverty especially in the United States of America where people have access to more amenities than the top 5% of the rest of the world but but like we’re not going to talk about that right no in fact from what I gathered the morality
Is that actually the criminal is a decent person you know he’s a decent human being no one commits crimes because they’re evil like that just doesn’t happen you know like two guys two teenagers uh riding a car and bumping themselves into a person on a bicycle and having no remorse like like
That just doesn’t happen no listen all crime happens because of poverty okay and and and the real criminal is the one that does racism on the keyboard or sexis on those are like the real people that have to be locked up the actual people that are stealing that oh we need
More understanding and compassion for them right maybe maybe if we have like even more understanding and compassion for the people looting stores the world would be a better place right so so this is what I understand the morality that Mr Dolan is trying to give to the viewers through his show
It’s like there there is nothing as virtuous it’s only circumstantial virtue everything is Shades of Gray there is no point of origin there is no North you know that there is no compass that can point us in the right way no everything is circumstantial all right so no Nolan
Went on to declare that the Siri follows her collision with the hard reality of other people experiences and what happened to the people who frankly were left behind to die to this point while describing the character of Maximus who is a squire in the Brotherhood of course
Um one of the things we’re going to try is to gently sidestep here that there is this kind of binary thing like they’re the good guys or the bad guys whoever the good guys and the bad guys were they destroyed the whole world so now we’re
In a gray area as for the Brotherhood of Steel doet describes them as a little bit of the Marine Corp it’s like Knights Templar it’s kind of like a weird fusion and a mutated version of patriotism religious royalty and fraternity uh the Howard director of Fallout 3 and four are currently the
Executive producers we view that uh what’s happening in the show as Canon that’s uh great when someone else looks at your work and translate it into some fashion so so again like the the main problem that I have is it with the things that they are saying like like
Inherently it’s not necessarily a bad story there are several problems with it though like like first one is is the fact that
