Fallout (HHN 34)

[UniversalRBLX]

I have to give it to the cast, they've improved these last few days and are far more comfortable/in your face. Still at the bottom of the list, but it's not bad and shows you how good this year is overall.

I still don't think it's a HHN property/experience, but would be a hit with a broader FanFest event at UOR.

The unfortunate part about this house is - I still FULLY believe that Fallout can fit at HHN. My hope is that they sell enough merch and decide to run it back with season 2 in either 2026 or 2027.

New Vegas could make for a much more visually interesting house, and with the addition of Deathclaws and hopefully other creatures - they can definitely right the wrongs here.

X says there is now two feral ghouls added to the house but in one cast?

The issue with Orlando’s Fallout isn’t the location. It just appears to fundamentally misunderstand the ask of the house. It feels like a book report house with nothing to actually report.

IMO this is partially because the show that the house is based on appeared to fundamentally misunderstand the ask of the games. The show felt like a book report with nothing to actually report.

Eh. It’s a different conversation, but the show effectively tells an original story in the Fallout universe. That’s the whole point of the show. And, uniquely to Fallout, the violence of the game is largely dependent on individual play styles. The show follows a highly charismatic, intuitive protagonist who avoids armed conflict. The show is more talky and less shooty because of it.

It’s a downward spiral.

Fair point!!

I’m actually a fan of the idea for these video game (and other) adaptations of making an original story in the universe. Eliminates the eventual disappointment that comes with bad casting or when they inevitably get an important story beat wrong and upset hardcore fans of the game (or whatever)

I just didn’t think Amazon made a good show, even if I liked the swing.


Sorry to derail.
