I’ve never played fallout but Everyone is going insane abt the new show should I was it yes/no ?🎤

what the hell Ghost did you read my mind. I was literally thinking of asking if you were interested in watching !! okay lets see if I can list some fun pros and cons off the top of my head but personally overall - Id recommend it giving it a go !

my list of praise, basically -

surprisingly good writing for fallout content, but in general, good writing! the main story is beautifully cohesive, plenty of foreshadowing, really fun side plots that all link up with the main one. excellent pacing, too

gets much more into the nitty gritty of the politics surrounding the events and their consequences than any fallout game dared to

focus on morality and community in the face of dire circumstances and what those things really mean

fantastic characters. every one of them is memorable, including minor ones. they feel real, which is always impressive

excellently diverse cast of characters for that matter. like, surprisingly so. genuinely chock full of really cool actors. not once did I feel like it was some attempt to get some sort of recognition (one of my favorite points to this actually is that two of the important minor characters have the BIGGEST height difference that its comical)

SUCH good actors. very talented people. lots of smaller, lesser known actors too! (there IS a guy from Lost in there I recognized tho. that startled me)

superb set design, lighting, props, costuming. cgi is done really fucking well. feels like an actual apocalyptic nuclear wasteland with funky tech as intended. absolutely beautiful to watch

no huge dependence on references! you dont need to play the games to get everything, the main story is perfectly intact without any experience in the series. its just fun extra stuff for those who have :]

if you like disco elysium, you will like this show methinks

forewarnings -

lots of (not very realistic) gore. some pretty realistic gore at points. I can be squeamish about that shit so it wouldve gotten me pretty bad without forewarning. off-screen decapitation, some eye trauma that icked me, fairly brief birth horror that isnt all that visible

some truly gross cannibalism (or it could just be me. eeww gory) thankfully brief

CULT SHIT. heavy cult shit. manipulation, chanting, lighting candles, branding, so on so forth. it can be hard to watch, but I think its better knowing the characters arent fully falling for it within the context (no spoilers!)

dog is seemingly killed but turns out to be okay. that did really upset me at first

decent amount of drug use but nothing super graphic, emphasis on medical. dudes be drinking some weird shit

couple TV typical sex scenes that look pretty graphic but dont show anything. dont watch with parents 👍 casual nudity as well

just generally very heavy in topic. if you can truck through disco elysium, you should be able to make it through this

#vvin babbles #vintageghoststories #lee #THAT GOT REALLY LONG. wanted to explain for any others that might be curious too #I literally woke up thinkign about this damn show #im sure theres stuff I missed but I watched every episode back to back while staying awake for 24 hrs

Book Of.. literally anyone who isn't Boba Fett

While I loved Book Of Boba Fett I have many issues with it too.

I haven't seen the final episode yet but from what I've heard I'm gunna be disappointed.

I wanted more of Boba. Which is weird to say because ITS HIS FUCKING SHOW. Temuera Morrison does an amazing job at portraying the character, I like how they set it up for him to be a respectable and intelligent leader, but then it went??? No where?? I wanted more from Boba and the Tuskens. The tuskens should no have been killed off. They should not have been tossed aside so quickly. I wanted to much more from Boba and the Tusken's bond. I wanted more of Fennec and Boba's banter, I wanted to see more of Jabba's past influence making things harder for Boba.

The two Mandalorian season 3 episodes (BECAUSE THATS WHAT THEY WERE) were good, but omg we could have just had Boba recruit Din without setting up season 3. Could we please PLEASE have more from our PoC leads?? Its their story and we got side tracked by CGI Luke and a small frog addict. I wanted more of Boba's planning. I wanted more of Boba's greif from the Tusken's being killed. I loved it all so much when we focused of Boba's past and Boba's life. They brought Bane back before they brought Boba into the episodes. Boba was a cameo in his own show.

I adore this show don't get me wrong, but the PoC characters were handled so poorly, the indigenous rep was either killed off or completely sidelined. because white characters are more palatable for wider audiences which is shit. And reading posts by indigenous/PoC fans talking about how heartbroken they are and how disappointed they are is genuinely upsetting. expected more.

I set my expectations too high.

I hope Boba season 2 (if they get one) is better handled.

I have seen some shit criticisms of BoBF (Including but not limited too: Its too colourful, its too goofy, there is no gore, it isnt R rated, Boba has a dad bod, Fennec isn't hot enough, Boba has a personality blah blah blah). But I hope the real important criticism is the part the writers listen too.

fuck
