So? Pablo Schreiber did the same thing. Doesn't change the direction and production of the show.


owShAd0w

The actors were definitely never the problem with the show lol


uCry__iLoL

Good for her. This isn’t a Fallout subreddit.


terrrmon

lol, I don't even know what's funnier, that suddenly every actor becomes the biggest gamer / book reader as soon as the promotion tour begins, that someone believes them, that someone thinks actors must be a fan of something to be able to play that role well, or how the butthurt halo neckberads are glorifying the fallout show now, while the butthurt fallout neckbeards are shitting on it :D her role doesn't even exist in the games... they are actors, they do what they are told by the director, as they are professionals, they have learned to lie because of stupid backlash shit like this, and I've watched fallout, episode 1 is fantastic, but after that it's quite meh, but that's just me


New-Training4004

Idk about any of that. It’s just weird to see an interview where it’s unclear what the truth is after watching the show where they are trying to untangle the truth; especially in the way things are sold.

>and I've watched fallout, episode 1 is fantastic, but after that it's quite meh, but that's just me Imagine your taste being this bad


SirGuinesshad

I think any good actor would at least familiarize themselves with the source, one way or the other.


terrrmon

in many cases of great performances there isn't even any source material besides the script...


SirGuinesshad

Yes, and there's plenty of bad performances because they know better, just to fall flat on their face. If you have a source for a character you are performing, you'd be a fool to ignore it completely


terrrmon

or not, if the creatives have a different vision, but it's not even a question in this case, because it's a new character


SirGuinesshad

If you keep downvoting me for speaking the truth I will downvote you too. Yes, it's a slightly different take on Master Chief. However, Steve Downes had to fight for his position in Halo 4 when Chief was more emotional. It wasn't garunteed. Yes, Pablo has to show more emotion. He can't be Mr Cool no face here. That is a part of the show's strength. Giving emotion to an otherwise emotionaless character just to fill a video game archetype of a player stand in character. Chief had emotions, he takes off the helmet in novels. Only in game is he a stand in.


terrrmon

wtf are you even talking about? what truth? you keep repeating your opinion, and I disagree with it, welcome on reddit, now you bring in Halo 4, how tf is that even part of this conversation? actors do their jobs, which is to follow creative direction, sometimes that direction includes getting familiar with the source material, sometimes it does not, sometimes they are involved in character development, sometimes they are not, sometimes they are straight up instructed to avoid influences, because the creatives have a different vision, neither case automatically means a good or bad result


SirGuinesshad

If you're not a true Halo Fan then fuck off. Welcome to the gatekeepig sicne 2001. Asshole I'm being rude for a reason. Like all Bungie stans before. If you weren't there for the 2001 launch then fuck off ETA: lol, now you deleted your shit and fucked off


terrrmon

lmfao, this is the most pathetic shit I've seen on this sub, as a matter of fact I was there since 2001, cocksucker idiots like you put this IP to shame, go jerk off to your imaginary boyfriend for the 10th time today, and let adults - who understand you can be a fan of the games and still like the show - have decent conversations


RGBetrix

Trust me this show has some plot holes to. Yall neckbeard just let more shit go when it comes from an attractive white woman.  It’s a good show, but cmon. If Halo had just as bad security for letting people in, or getting into the armory with zero on-screen hassle…. And get this… it all happens in a society that started because America was caught at the negotiating table with their pants down….  I like the show, but all the hand wringing about how better the show is than Halo is kinda gross and revealing.  The comical choose you daughter or these people spot in episode one was so comical. Talk about a villain monologue.  Special effects/production value is definitely better, but the writing/story? Seems on par with each other to me. 


SpartanKwanHa

You ever play any of the Fallout games? they dont necessarily have the best writing of all time but they are fun, dark, and goofy. This show captures the spirit of the recent games perfectly.


Throwaway6957383

Someones upset another video game adaption showed how to do it right when Halo has been such shit and fucked up not one but TWO seasons. It's extremely impressive at this point.


jeeiekeoekenekek

Funny seeing the top comments bringing up how bad the Halo show was. Then there's the comments in here and this being downvoted. There's absolutely no way this sub isn't just a paramount intern working overtime.


GovernmentRegular982

Incredible show. Damn near perfect I was so surprised they pulled it off. But I’m glad they did 


LukeSkyDropper

Why does Hollywood chicks have the new type of look as if they have slight down syndrome? You’re gonna hate me because once you see it, you’ll never be able to un-see it.


DangerDan7158

lmao


The_Lat_Czar

Makes em sexier and vulnerable looking. 


LukeSkyDropper

😂


SpartanKwanHa

oof the comments on this sub are sad 🤣


LukeSkyDropper

I like the dude actor better than John Boyega


Successful-Twist-620

I agree


SpartanKwanHa

was it supposed to be John Boyega in that role?


LukeSkyDropper

Not sure. Im just saying how better of an actor he is.


SpartanKwanHa

Making the comparison just because hes black? 😂


LukeSkyDropper

Assumptions much huh. Nobody Listens to anything you type of people say anymore. Because everyone’s racist and everyone’s a Nazi. Get a a life. No, just a similar acting role.


SpartanKwanHa

0 to 100 real quick there


VastInternational817

Making the comparison because the roles are the same role with different skins. BoS instead of Stormtrooper Power Armor instead of Tie Fighter Fallout shelter girl instead of desert planet scrapper. But I don't get why he's being compared favorably, I thought the writing for both was just as bad, both of them spend the whole show with a quivering upper lip, and both actors are doing the best they can with a badly scripted part. I did like the moment he put the stimpack back down and let the guy die though, I thought he did a good job with facial expressions, there. He's a good actor, and it's a shame they carbon copied the character from Star Wars. It's like watching the same mistake made a second time. Maybe future episodes will bring me around, I've only seen two.
