Seeing how Prime Video’s Fallout is heading full-speed into the Mojave Wasteland for Season 2, countless possibilities are opening up before the showrunners. Mojave is the home of Fallout: New Vegas, one of the franchise’s most popular games, and there are bound to be some points of intersection between the TV show and the video game… Though some ideas are better left untouched.
Fallout S2 Likely to Expand the Ghoul’s Lore
Out of the show’s four main characters, the Ghoul is clearly the most important: he’s the only one whose flashbacks provide us with context of the past 200-something years and thus explain the nature of current events. From Vault-Tec and the Great War to cold fusion and Moldaver, Cooper Howard connected all plot dots together.
Season 2 will most likely keep up the trend of adding Cooper’s flashbacks to support the present-day plotlines, and as a side effect,...

Among the main reasons for Fallout’s popularity as a franchise is its unique blend of drama and tragedy and utterly bizarre comedy bits. Only Fallout can tell you a serious story about the war and throw Ancient Rome and Elvis Presley cosplayers as dominant factions while peppering it with some alien and zombie hillbilly action.
The Fallout games can provide an infinite source of inspiration for Jonathan Nolan and his team, especially when it comes to all things ridiculous — but in our book, there’s one iconic character that simply must make an appearance in the TV show.
Fallout Must Add the Wasteland’s Most Enigmatic Fellow

Walton Goggins, the ghoulish antihero of Prime Video's Fallout series, has become an unexpected sex symbol with the show's success.
Undoubtedly, the reason is the character of Ghoul. Goggins combines a hardened survivalist's anarchic mind with a Hollywood cowboy's rustic stoicism.
He feels like Ronald Reagan channeling John Wayne, like a man at the end of his days who sticks around for one more horseback ride.
The resignation in his attitude drives his character, not to mention the characters around him who react to his infamy and monstrous appearance. He's the new face of anarchy and arguably the first mainstream character to embody the spirit of anarchy with such a genteel facade.
You must be in love with Cooper Howard, aka The Ghoul, because you've seen Walton Goggin's face many times.
He's been in countless movies since the 1990s, usually playing morally confused or at least ambiguous characters. He has...

Cooper Howard’s backstory is a red line that goes through the entirety of Fallout Season 1, and things we learn about his past explain a lot about him and the world in the present. But they also create what seems like plot holes or, at least, logical inconsistencies, and that’s especially easy to notice with the power armor subplot.
The Ghoul Knew About Power Armors’ Flaws
Over two centuries before the events of Prime Video’s Fallout, Cooper Howard confronted Bud about his former company’s power armors. We learn that Coop was a soldier back in the day, and a catastrophic design flaw in pre-war power armors led many of his fellow troops to die despite seemingly being protected by mech suits.
Fast forward to the Battle of Griffith Observatory. The Ghoul brings up the design flaw and lazily wonders whether it’s still present in post-war...

When prosthetic makeup designer Vincent Van Dyke first met with Robert Downey Jr., the two men somewhat immediately hit it off. And good thing, too, since just a couple of days later, Van Dyke heard from the producers of the HBO limited series “The Sympathizer” with the hope of signing him onto the ambitious project.
“Luckily we had that earlier meeting because we had to hit the ground running,” Van Dyke tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview. “It was a quick turnaround to start creating and designing these looks, and get them in front of everyone’s eyes.”

Prime Video’s latest sensation, the Fallout TV show sparked a new interest to the iconic video game franchise in millions of people who haven’t even heard about it previously — and launched quite a few careers sky-high. One of the show’s lead stars, Ella Purnell (Lucy MacLean) found herself under the spotlight thanks to it…
Except that in 2014, the young actress was already working with Angelina Jolie.
Ella Purnell Starred in Maleficent
You read it right: the Fallout lead star did a movie with Angelina Jolie back in the day, and not just any movie. 2014’s Maleficent, one of Jolie’s last movies before she effectively quit acting, saw Ella Purnell play the same character as the former queen of Hollywood — Purnell starred in it as the younger version of Maleficent herself.

Does Walton Goggins smell an Emmy approaching? Probably not, but only because his character in Amazon Prime Video’s hit “Fallout” TV series doesn’t have a nose. But nevertheless, his performance is earning rave reviews and awards voters are known to love a transformation. Goggins spent hours in the makeup chair before almost every shoot to turn into The Ghoul, a lone-wolf wastelander who’s been around for hundreds of years. In an interview with Deadline Studio at Prime Experience, Goggins acknowledged the difficulties of taking on this character physically and emotionally.
“The very first time we did the application [of his mask],” Goggins said, “I asked to be left alone for an hour and a half outside and Jonah [Nolan] came by. I just sat outside by myself and just photographed it like in the sun and in the shade. I was extremely intimidated but excited to see how this Ferrari would work.

Unexpectedly for fans, Prime Video’s Fallout TV show not only carefully preserved the franchise’s lore and remained true to the original video games but also expanded upon it. Most additions the showrunners made fit perfectly into the existing world of Fallout, and we can’t help but praise them for such attention to detail.
But one decision the Fallout showrunners made proved to be somewhat controversial with the fans. It did save the show from making a difficult choice in Season 1, but next Season, they’ll most likely have to make it, regardless.
Fallout Kept New Vegas’ Open Ending
Seeing how the events of Prime Video’s TV show inevitably lead the main characters into the Mojave Wasteland, the matter of the New Vegas factions was prominent. In the original game, Fallout: New Vegas, the player defines which faction takes control over this iconic city: the Ncr, the Legion,...

Prime Video’s Fallout TV show is the perfect video game adaptation. It treats the source material with utmost respect and carefully expands its mythology; works closely with the original video games’ developers to ensure its quality and lore accuracy; and adds numerous subtle references and Easter eggs for Og fans.
While we’ve already covered some of the most brilliant game mechanics that found their way into Prime Video’s new series, this one is a very special case.
This Unique Mechanic Adds Life to Video Games
Most open-world games, Fallout included, make use of the random encounter mechanic: it means that sometimes, players come across some dynamic situations or interesting characters on their travels that they can interact with. From a small talk with someone you meet on the road to a massive shootout, random encounters add life to video games and make the player feel like the world is truly dynamic.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of the Fallout franchise or a new viewer that joined the club after watching Prime Video’s TV show, you’re well-aware that Vault-Tec Vaults were much more than just a way to save human civilization in case of a global nuclear war — they were controlled grounds for experiments on humans.
But while some of those experiments were reasonably tame, others were downright monstrous… And one particular Vault can prove devastating in Fallout Season 2.
Lucy MacLean Loves Herself a Good Vault
One of Fallout’s main characters, Lucy MacLean has been a certified Vault Dweller for her entire life — until the moment she bravely ventured outside to find her father. Like most of her fellow Vault Dwellers, she had no idea about Vault-Tec’s experiments, and in her eyes, Vaults remained safe and picture-perfect places.
She did learn some portion of the truth in Vault 4, but largely,...

In the finale of Fallout Season 1, Hank MacLean takes off to New Vegas with Lucy and Cooper hot on his trail. The latter duo’s motivation is obvious — they’re following their target — but it’s never explicitly explained why Hank needed to go to New Vegas. There were, however, subtle hints at his reasons that make a lot of sense.
Hank Wants to Awaken His Superiors
Having been compromised, Hank MacLean is left with no allies. He’s alone and hunted by not some random raiders — he’s hunted by the feared Ghoul. Hank needs to escape, but he also needs allies, and powerful ones, to protect him. The only obvious choice for him, since he can’t return to the Vault, are his superiors.
Where are they? Why, in New Vegas, of course.

The Dark Knight trilogy is one of the finest superhero franchises out there, and while The Dark Knight Rises did close the book on Christian Bale’s Batman, screenwriter Jonathan Nolan would eagerly return for more.
Jonathan Nolan, who co-wrote both The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, was asked by Showsha if he’d like to return to the Batman franchise. “Wouldn’t that be a dream?” Nolan said. “That period was 10 years of my life [from] when I got the call to work on Batman Begins, and it was epic. Working with Christian [Bale], Heath [Ledger], Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and to honor an American icon. If I had the chance to go back and work on that again? Absolutely.“
Getting that bang back together would be a tall order, as Nolan admitted, “We’ve moved onto other things,” and “other people have picked up the mantel and moved on with those characters.

Fallout was a successful live-action adaptation of a popular video game with the combined efforts of Bethesda Game Studios and Amazon Prime Video. It shattered records and even made short work of popular series like The Boys and Invincible but couldn’t top The Lord of the Rings.
The show was able to pull an impressive 65 million viewers in the first 16 days since the day Prime Video released all of the episodes. Compared to an equally well-budgeted show based on the popular work of author J.R.R Tolkien, it was considerably better and more well-received.
The Fallout Series Is Way Better Than the Lord of the Rings Spinoff The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power had a strong start but failed to capture the fans, unlike Fallout.
Despite having a strong start, the video game adaptation was the second most-watched title on the platform and fell behind The Rings of Power.

10. Strong Back Was a Must-Have for BoS Squires
Brotherhood of Steel’s Knights used their squires as mules: the poor lads had to carry massive heavy bags with all the equipment their superiors could theoretically need.
Seeing how those bags were the size of a grown man, all BoS squires, Maximus included, had to have the Strong Back perk that increases carry weight.
9. Maximus Overlooked Power Armor Training
Not the sharpest tool in the shed, Maximus genuinely thought that putting on the Brotherhood’s power armor would make him undefeatable. The Ghoul quickly proved him wrong, making a full of the wannabe-Knight in Filly: Maximus simply didn’t have the Power Armor Training perk that would have made him far more efficient with it.

Out of Fallout the TV show’s four main characters, the Ghoul is the most enigmatic and powerful one, albeit not the most good-natured. His feats in any fight are nothing short of admirable, and he often comes off as inhumanly capable — but there’s an actual explanation for how he’s so much stronger than anyone else that goes beyond “he’s just badass.”

Fallout has become one of Prime Video’s biggest series ever — according to Prime Video.
The well-reviewed show, based on the video game franchise of the same name, has become the second-most-watched title ever on the Amazon streaming service over its first 16 days of release, the company says. Prime Video says 65 million viewers worldwide have watched at least some of Fallout since its April 10 premiere, putting the show behind only The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in the streamer’s catalog.
Global audiences have powered a majority of that viewing: More than 60 percent of Fallout’s audience is outside the United States. The (limited) data from Amazon jibes with that from outside sources like Samba TV, Luminate and Reelgood, all of which have tracked a strong start for the series (Nielsen’s streaming data lags by several weeks).

In Prime Video’s Fallout TV show, The Ghoul is not your average stranger. This mysterious man is a feared bounty hunter, a fierce warrior, and an enigma throughout the first season: even as you learn more about him, it still feels like you’ve barely tapped into his centuries-long story and have no clue about what he’s been through during his countless adventures and hunts.
But one recent fan theory makes an excellent job of answering one question about The Ghoul… And raising countless others.
Have We Already Met The Ghoul?
According to Reddit user JudgeKhan’s speculation, everyone who’s played a Fallout game at least once has already met The Ghoul before Prime Video’s TV show. Wait, scratch that. Everyone who has played a Fallout game and picked a very specific perk at least once has already met The Ghoul before Prime Video’s TV show.

Prime Video’s Fallout TV show follows four main characters, but it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that fans are mostly focused on two.

Lucy’s Season 1 Finale Was Overwhelming
Throughout Fallout Season 1, we as the audience got to know and love Lucy for her optimism, her ability to put one foot ahead of the other no matter the circumstances. She was a fighter and a beam of light in the otherwise hopeless Wasteland, someone who could never give up, break down, and abandon her vision of herself.

This post contains spoilers for "Fallout" season 1.
In its first season, Prime Video's adaptation of the hugely popular video game series "Fallout" follows several heroes and villains who are still working to understand what's real in their worlds. Walton Goggins' movie star character, Cooper Howard, slowly comes to realize that America is making up an apocalypse to sell back to itself, while Brotherhood of Steel squire Maximus quickly learns that the powerful men he idolized as a kid aren't all they're cracked up to be. It's Ella Purnell's Vault-dweller Lucy, though, who gets the biggest reality check when she leaves her underground dwelling to explore a ruthless world with no place for the chipper sense of entitlement she was taught to convey.
Given the themes of the series, it's fitting that it's just as hard to tell what's real and what's not behind-the-scenes of "Fallout" as it is in front of the camera.

Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout series which stars Ella Purnell has been receiving positive responses from all around. Based on the popular video game series by Bethesda Softworks has been considered to be one of the best video game adaptations.

The positive responses received by the show from critics and audiences have also carried over to memes. Purnell’s Lucy MacLean has become the subject of a ‘Before and After’ meme that has gone viral on the Internet. The meme template shows MacLean’s state before she leaves the Vault to explore the outside and after she does.

It’s undeniable. Fallout is an absolute hit, and the age of terrible TV adaptations and low expectations is behind us (Halo notwithstanding). After years of sub-standard, terrible adaptations like Resident Evil, Max Payne, and countless others, we gamers thought we were in for the long haul while waiting for good quality TV and movies. Well, that wait is certainly over.
First, we got The Last of Us, then the critically panned but as-equally fun The Super Mario Bros. Movie which was an incredible Mario experience, if a terrible film, and now we have the excellent Prime Video Fallout. And this wealth of good gaming content on the big screen means a few knock-on effects in the actual gaming space.

Walton Goggins has no limitations whatsoever when it comes to his range and skill in film and television. With boundless untapped energy serving as a cushion, the Fallout actor truly gives back to society by tackling multi-colored projects spanning various genres. One such project, however, came dangerously close to insulting the incredible talent and hard work of his director and co-stars in the HBO satire, Vice Principals. And Goggins refused to take such an insult lying down.

However, with enough time having passed between the series production and the political tides within Hollywood, the actor finally feels safe to take a stand on behalf of his co-stars and director to showcase how Hollywood failed them.

[Warning: The following story contains spoilers about Season 1 of “Fallout.”]
Aaron Moten was not exactly familiar with “Fallout,” the game, when “Fallout,” the TV show, came to him. “I think if I had seen a poster, if I had seen a photograph of the T-60 — the big power armor suit — I would’ve recognized it to be ‘Fallout,’ but yeah, totally new to me,” he tells Gold Derby (watch the exclusive video interview above). “The world, the deep dive, if you will.”
The actor did a deep dive into gamers and Twitch streamers to prep for his audition, but after landing the part of Maximus, he made a conscious choice not to play the game. “My job as an actor always feels like bringing a human element to something. I felt that if I jumped into the video game, I think I’d be overly concerned with other things happening on set than what I need to be concerned with,...

"Fallout," Prime Video's stellar adaptation of the popular video game, is proving a hit with critics and fans since its April 10 debut. The fact the show has managed to faithfully recreate the expansive world of the video games on which it's based is impressive enough. But "Fallout" is also noteworthy for debuting original characters that fit effortlessly into the universe first established back in 1997, when the first game arrived. Among those characters, Walton Goggins' The Ghoul might be the series' most compelling.
In his 2016 review of HBO's "Vice Principals," The New York Times' Mike Hale wrote that Goggins "makes a habit of being the best thing about the television shows he's in." That arguably hasn't changed since, with the "Righteous Gemstones" star delivering an effortlessly charismatic turn as the irradiated bounty hunter in "Fallout." From the very beginning, Goggins' mutated gunslinger exudes an alluring magnetism, which, considering the actor was covered in extensive prosthetics,...

Video game adaptations are an absolute treat to relive those wonderful gaming memories leaving your keyboards and controllers, and the Fallout universe is no exception. For instance, there are many video game adaptations, like The Last of Us, Castlevania, Arcane, and many more, that have won our hearts.
Based on the famous RPG franchise from Bethesda Softworks, this series has already garnered a huge viewership. Among this viewer base, a prominent name is Johan Pilestedt, the CEO of Arrowhead Gaming and director of Helldivers 2. Despite his praise for the Fallout series, he does have a complaint about it.
Johan Pilestedt Just Has One Complaint Regarding the Fallout Series The Helldivers 2 director is absolutely loving the Fallout series.
Recently, Pilestedt shared his experience watching Fallout. Before coming to the complaint, he stated that he was “loving” this series. But his only problem with this series is that the characters in it are very bad at looting.

This post contains spoilers for "Fallout" season 1, as well as "Justified" and "Justified: City Primeval."
If you watched "Fallout" this weekend and half-expected Deputy U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens himself to stroll across the show's post-apocalyptic wasteland, you're not alone. Despite not actually sharing a casting director with the FX neo-Western "Justified," the first few episodes of the new Prime Video series feature not just one or two but four different actors who previously appeared on the Kentucky-set drama. That's a whole lot of Harlan for one video game adaptation.
Walton Goggins, who stars in "Fallout" as the actor-turned-undead gunslinger known primarily as the Ghoul, is the most obvious connection between the two shows. On "Justified" and its recent follow-up series "Justified: City Primeval," Goggins played smooth-talking man in black Boyd Crowder, who spent most of the original show's six seasons at odds with Timothy Olyphant's lawman. Goggins' "Fallout...

Prime Video’s Fallout TV show is already making waves as it has successfully managed to capture the essence of the franchise. The same franchise that has mesmerized generations of gamers to dream of survival in a dystopic, post-apocalyptic, future/past.
Producers of the TV show have used quite a few ‘deep pulls’ from the game. Some of them are so obscure, that it feels like nobody other than the developers of the game themselves and a few superfans would get them. For example, the whiteboard outside of a terminal. And Nathan Purkeypile found it. He is the developer who put the sign in Fallout 4 in the first place. And safe to say, he was impressed.

Walton Goggins has been trending among fans on social media with his slick performance as the Ghoul in the first season of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout. Anyone privy to his works like The Shield, Justified, and The Righteous Gemstones may agree that Goggins’ recognition comes a little late in his career. The Hateful Eight actor plays a disfigured post-apocalyptic character in Fallout. However, he teased his very different pre-apocalyptic form in an interview.
