Is 'Fallout' the Next 'The Last of Us?'

Nope. Fallout the show doesn’t stand a chance of being good as an extension of the franchise. If ever a show needed a quick statement that it doesn’t understand it’s source material: the thumbnail shows trees.

Fallout must be framed against the stark nothingness of open, sandy desert because it is the prime factor in how and why people live their morally flexible lives. Trees need to be celebrated and center to a settlement, not background for Brotherhood shenanigans.

The show is stuck on the idea of “cool power armor with bad ass weapons” but it misses 99% of the world.

Movie and video game journalism has gotten so fucking lazy, they just refer to things by other things they’re similar to.

“Check out this new souls-like game” or “new game combines Dave the Diver with Stardew Valley.”

It’s super annoying if you’re not familiar with whatever they’re referencing.

And every hardware manufacturer’s attempt at a mobile gaming device is immediately called a Steam Deck competitor.

It’s lazy journalism.

I hope not. That’s the worst name for a series I’ve ever heard.
