Thanks. I just grew up in SoCal and am generally curious about the environment and history.
I also understand a lot about how television is written and the pressures the industry puts on storytelling. This is why I can confidently say that Fallout does the best job it can realistically do with the lore. Featuring factions, locations, and lore this accurate to the games is an absolute achievement that required the creators to know and care about the source material.
Well, I’ll certainly keep in mind to be more gracious to the showrunners.
Most of my complaints do, indeed, not consider the corporate aspect that’s most likely telling the showrunners what they can and cannot depict. And that’s a little unfair. Still, I do wish some things were done differently that I’m not sure will be wrapped up by the end.
The dream Fallout show, to me, would be a Mad Max-style show with a lot of original aspects that starts tying into the wasteland at large as it goes on.
But, I guess Fallout was never gonna be some arthouse project with unlimited freedom; you’re right that they have to cater to the expectations of multiple audiences. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone in with preconcieved notions. But I feel like I got those notions from the classic series, and it has morphed drastically since. But enough about how I don’t really enjoy the show, we all know that. It’s all my opinion, anyway.
Thanks for workin it out with an old pedant like me. You prove yourself to be a consistent element of grace on the Fediverse.
