Wheel of Time was such a tragedy - amazing material to work with and that's what we got instead.. I was so hyped for that show.
It'll be written by a committee and/or chat gpt.
Please be better than Halo.
Apple TV should get some credit, they seem to be much better at develping shows like Foundation, Monarch, Silo, Shrink and Invasion (maybe). Amazon seems to really struggle, Lord of the rings was far worse than Wheel of time, as a none book reader. I somewhat found Wheel of time acceptable, but I know it's offensive to most book readers. Fallout should allow them plenty of freedom, just get the world right and tell some great stories.

Apple has been hit and miss. Foundation basically crapped all over the books as well. Yes, it was better than Wheel of Time but that’s a low bar to clear.
That said, Ted Lasso (at least first couple seasons), For All Mankind (first two seasons) and some of the other shows like Mythic Quest were quite good.

It cant be worse than Monster Hunter movie. To this day I still cant figure out why they decide to include modern military in there. They could have easily just made movie thats take place MH world and be about main character wanted be hunter and eventually teaming up with others Ocean 11 style to take down Elder Dragon and they even could have asked Capcom to design Flagship Monster specially for the Movie.

The worst thing that can happen to any classic franchise or property is to be revived in the current climate. Good luck.

Not each vault was created equally, each vault was an experiment, this one well could be one where they picked the majority of the inhabitants as people with high charisma/looks...
At least I'm hoping they didn't put all the woke people on this one...
I just saw some of the indie Fallout movies/series, starting with one recommended by Tim Cain in his yt channel, I think they can do a lot of great stuff with the source material, budget is actually secondary.

Best we could hope for is a "story of the week" type format where they just have the main character(s) drift around from vault to settlement to wasteland and have them get into weekly dynamic shenanigans, and solve the issues. Kind of like a Seasons 1-2 of the Walking Dead before the show devolved into "go to a place, fortify until it goes to shit, repeat". I hope the recurring cast of characters is very small and we see lots of new faces and stories each episode.
Wait, is this a tv show or a movie?

Most of the Amazon shows are terrible either because casting is half assed, or the episodes are each 1 hour long without content, or just the basic premise/writing is subpar or because the characters do everyday life things that you are not interested in. There are 1-2 good episodes in each series, then it goes downhill, fast. I checked The Boys, wow, how cool, great, though the 1 hour long episodes were a true warning sign. And it just dies after the introduction. Too much time spent on everyone's issues. Oh look how important my character is, I talk 15 minutes about nothing, or someone with a filler role gets 5 minutes script time.

Depends.
There are two schools of thought at Amazon studios. One makes Rings Of Power. The other makes Reacher.

The scene with the monsters were good tho, diablos was as menacing as the videogame.

But where will movies and TV go after they've plundered all the video game IP? That's the real question.

I can already tell by the screen caps, female strong and heroic, white man evil or ghoul. Fucking lmao. It's amazon and bethesda, if people expect this to be good they are stupid.

Most of them aren't pure Amazon productions. Like The Boys is basically a Sony show. Jack Ryan & Reacher are Paramount, Good Omens is BBC,... Rings of Power is what happens when Amazon is doing their own thing...

That's fair.
You tell me. It's in the Amazon DNA, so why do you ask? Try to learn the real world works!

I disagree. Well, not really silly but one thing I noticed right away is they look very costume-like. It stood out to me as soon as I looked at that first pic. I am still there as soon as it hits the service.

Just seen it, while it looks promising and Michael Emerson is great in everything i've seen him in, it does look a little bit clean and hollywood to me, whether that's a good thing or not, time will tell , but i am looking forward to watching it, and i also hope they explain where the NCR have gone lol.
