I thought this trailer looked fantastic, I don't know what the rest of you all are smoking. As a fallout fan it was more than enough to get me excited for the series, also Walton Goggins as a ghoul chefs kiss.
I don't want to set the world on fire.
But I will if they fuck this up.
Where were you when we watched Rings of Power?
Where were you when we suffered Wheel of Time?
Ah, ok so I'm broken and don't have to worry.
I loved both those things.
Looks a bit cosplay-y, honestly.
But also I've never been into Bethesda Fallout, so I'm already not as much of a target for this one, I suppose.
I thought it looked pretty good.
That said, I thought the first few seconds right up until Dogmeat started eating the Radroach looked pretty mid. I got really psyched and excited when I saw the BoS power armor
I didn’t realize Jonathan Nolan was a showrunner. The first season of Westworld was brilliant. And Walton Goggins is good in everything. I’ll give it a shot.
Goggins is what got me on board too.
You can tell it's gonna be bad because they forgot to say "war never changes"
I bet you that this will be in the show and narrated by Ron Perlman.
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.
That feels more like a Netflix move than an Amazon move.
An expanse tear runs down my cheek.
I'm not sure how that's meant? Expanse was saved by Amazon and allowed to have enough seasons to tell its story.
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.
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.
it's a trailer, it also has to get the normis
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.
Honestly I can't wait to watch this. Consider me hyped!
Oh no... The time has come to shit all over two legendary games again... for the second time.
I was not excited for this show until seeing that trailer! Fingers crossed 🤞
Fallout was an aesthetic that told super dark stories. How will a TV capture the vignette of nightmares that are the Vaults?
There’s not really any limits for content anymore. Look at Amazon’s The Boys.
The way you play Fallout / Skyrim / Bethesda games might end up being a perfect format for a television adaption.
You can have a main character and follow their travels in a really strange setting. You can have 1 off episodes with perticular styles much like the quests in the game. You can easily switch from a dark horror filled vault to a campy town the next episode. Kind of like the files would have lighter episodes then some really dark ones and occasionally an episode about the main characters.
Because the fallout universe has a lot to be explored you a smart writing team could do a lot.
TL;DR Gimme Twilight Zone in the wasteland
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.
to me this looks like the most generic "Hollywood trailer" which is unfortunate but understandable.
TV shows/movies based on games are usually just a cash grab that play on people's love of the source material, but maybe in wrong we'll see.

I really disagree on that. Most recent videogame adaptions have been pretty awesome: Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Last of Us, Castlevania. Sure there are some stinkers out there, but the quality really went up in the last years.
It's going to be good. I can already tell it has The Boys humor in it and the surprise violence. It will be amazing.
I hope Todd Howard had almost zero creative input
Well I don't hate it yet..
Hope they manage to get the lead's makeup smudged.
Kind of a random though but do you think we will ever see shows done in a more connected way? I mean as of now, all the shows are always done in secret. Why not involve fans in the process? Publish videos from the set as you film and get feedback? Publish scripts, test footage and so on. Yes, the element of surprise would be lost but wouldn't it be nice to see how the show is made and they see the final product? And maybe even influence it a little bit? I would love something like that. What do you think?
Edit: interesting. Looks like only I would be interested in seeing how a show is made.
The only reason we watch shows is to get the story. Being spoiled ruins the whole idea of the show. Besides: Even though some showrunners miss the mark, most of the fans ideas of what might come instead are mostly terrible.
Nah the last thing these shows need are a bunch of armchair experts chipping in.
Ackshully, those experts are statistically far more likely to be sitting in an office chair or a gaming chair than an arm chair.
*pushes glasses WAAAAY up nose*
No not really. There's a reason you hire experts to do a job and I for instance hates it if someone try's to explain to me, a designer, what a good design is...
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.
PleasedontbeNetflixPleasedontbeNetflixPleasedontbeNetflixPleasedontbeNetflix... ... FU&%!!! AMAZON 😭 😭 😭 😭 ...i forgot about Amazon 😭
that was shockingly interesting
this trailer looks better than the Furiosa trailer.
