Rewatching the fallout show and I noticed this little detail during the duel between The Ghoul and Maximus in Filly that I missed the first time but absolutely love, where Maximus destroys the wooden bridge Cooper is standing on, causing him to fall flat on his ass. He drops the act and his silly little accent for a moment and says "goddamn, that hurt!" outwardly, as though he is complaining to the set crew, which, in his mind, he probably is. I love this small moment so much because it's so rare that he sets down "The Ghoul," and it shows his mentality, his way of operating in this world. To him, it is all a set, and he's just really deep in character. It also suggests that this man did not even do his own stunts as an actor, and that his "shrug off the bullets" act is purely that, an act. This man is in so much pain, but doesn't dare show it out of fear. Lucy is absolutely going to break down his act next season, and I'm so excited to see it.
one of the funniest things about cooper howard is he let the wool be pulled over his eyes for years by vault tech (lost acting roles over supporting them, did commercials for them) all because his wife said so (he really really loved his wife) but the second he found out his dog wouldn’t be allowed in the vaults he was like wait a damn minute hold up hold on hell NO!!!! and committed espionage to listen in on a top secret meeting between the most powerful people in the world. he could allow corrupt capitalist doomsday fear tactics because his girl said so but not liking dogs is where he drew the damn line
So the whole game is fixed by the will of Gramps on His throne while we're down here for what? His entertainment? That makes us chumps and God's a sadist. And either way, I got no use for him.
imagine being 20 on the beaches of okinawa in 1945 witnessing horrors unimaginable and then you get a letter from your dad that your dog died. eugene is stronger than me. i would have been cooked fr. killed myself ASAP.
We pull upon the risers, we fall upon the grass
We never land upon our feet, we always hit our ass
Highty tighty, Christ almighty, who the hell are we
Zim zam god damn, we're Airborne Infantry
