The shopkeepers "Fuck vault dwellers" speech has my hopes up that this show won't be lib trash, but I dislike that the main girl is really Libby about Vault-Tec "Um actually you're technically stealing Vault-Tec property which is wrong" also lol at her still having perfect eyeliner after being in the wasteland for days.
And not liking how one of the "good guys" is a Brotherhood of Steel type, I really hope they don't make the Brotherhood a "good" faction because they kinda aren't.
I'm assuming it's a character arc thing and things become less lib later, here's hoping. Because this show is freaking awesome in every other aspect. They really nailed the tone and setting. The sets and props are so cool as well.
I'm assuming The Ghoul isn't as mean as he first appears because he didn't hurt that chicken, and he fixed up the dog.
sigh I miss @UlyssesT@hexbear.net, he would have had so much to say about this show.
True enough, it's just impossible to tell where corporate diversity casting ends and actual artistic intent starts. It's very strange to do the whole 1950s nostalgia thing "just without the racism" and then let the black woman do the "we need to secure a future for our children" speech and then also have that same black woman start a conspiracy to end the world for that specific purpose.
It's a very very strange show. There are parts which are supposed to feel resonant that just aren't (the whole vault tec conspiracy or the cold fusion/unlimited green energy stuff) and things that feel like the writers are telling on themselves (no idea if the "breeding the perfect middle manager" bit is hard-hitting satire or just executive brained).
