DR FRASIER KRANG posted:apparently there's gonna be a new live action TMNT movie and it will be rated R. Adaptation of The Last Ronin apparently. Which sounds basically like Old Man Logan for TMNT, where only one of the turtles is remaining. And I think there's a driving question as to how it's not clear at first to the audience which of the turtles he actually is.

The most inspired casting in the Fallout tv show was making Rappaport play a character just as stupid as he is.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Yeah, I got the vibe the Institute is basically the Think Tank with less resources but also less containment. And following a throughline of pre-war American scientific institutions being morally bankrupt war crimes factories encouraged to use everyone and everything as a test subject and material for wunderwaften with basically unlimited government funding. See also Vault-Tec. The Institute's problem is that they're cut off from all of that support that real world think tanks have. What they need are specimens for experimentation and materials to further improve the site and feed their factories. But they are also completely sealed off from the outside world and control the only way in and out. The Institute could have ruled the wasteland directly but instead they do everything through extremely circuitous routes that take decades to pay off because they can't do things directly because supposedly they want to remain concealed, but terrorising the wasteland also draws attention to themselves. Eventually even in the form of the Brotherhood which could destroy them utterly. It's just not well thought out at all and is fit to meet the needs of the sandbox instead of doing something compelling. Also for a supposedly amoral faction of scientists they make very plot convenient moral stances like Father's choice not to treat his cancer. The really frustrating thing about Fallout 4's story and worldbuilding is that it sets up a lot of interesting ideas but never really follows through on them.

the Fallout show is very fun schlock, I appreciate that Walton Goggins is having a good time, and I think it comes off better than it following on the heels of the very dour and boring The Last of Us adaptation, but it would be better if the Brotherhood of Steel was not in it. they're like that franchise's version of Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2: something that worked exactly once in the context of one game and then they appear again and again for no real reason beyond brand recognition.

indigi posted:that could totally be the intention/part of the lore, but since everything is 50s aesthetic, I expected McCarthyism as part of the day to day and not necessarily an indication of anything novel. when America looked like that, actors and writers and directors were being blackballed all the time, so why wouldn't that still be happening? it made the racial acceptance seem even weirder tbh because the mere existence of mixed race couples was often blamed on communists/communism (even before the 50s)

i say swears online posted:the best part of ep 1 was the party host slugging the black dude to keep him out of the shelter Few pages back, but I dunno how much we're meant to be thinking about race during this scene, given that a) there's a conspicuous reason that a selfish utilitarian would be punching anyone out in that situation regardless of race and b) nature of the bunker community (the mixed race but monoculturally Norman Rockwell) which seems to be a throwback to pre-war society. I think, rather than having to accept that post war society made a shift towards liberal models of acceptance, it's more likely that in this version of the narrative both settings have a liberal attitude towards race relations (and gender, given the genderqueer Steel recruit), and that the guy at the start was being punched out because the bunker owner was a selfish arsehole in a violent confrontation. Even the bunker guy's snide attitude to Goggins at the start is based around him suddenly perceiving Goggins to be a pinko, rather than already being set against him because of a mixed race kid. I've only seen the first episode though, so I dunno if this becomes more obviously the intended reading as we go forward.

Nichael posted:The race neutrality (as well as tolerance of LGBT people I believe) is a bit odd in 2070s turbo-fascist America. But it's not necessarily different than our present day. It also is an issue I'm glad the collective series ignores. It's tedious to watch chuds miss the point of "bad characters doing racism are indeed bad" and a Fallout where race politics is more of an issue would likely result in that. Yeah, it’s this weird casting trend that’s been going on for the past couple of years where you go completely race and gender neutral when casting people. A lot of shows are doing this now, not just this one. I think the idea is that you can make race and gender discrimination go away in the real world if you stop portraying it in fiction. I don’t think it works, but at least it’s well intentioned and it opens up a lot more roles for nonwhite actors. That being said, unless it’s alternate history or a fantasy world, it doesn’t really work, but Fallout kind of is a fantasy world, so I think it works here. Anyway, I just finished the season and it was amazing. They even did the brotherhood of steel right. I really don’t get the complaints.

It's many times more offensive in something like Hamilton than Fallout. Fallout is choosing not to discuss that issue, and that's probably fine. Hamilton and similar productions are just insulting.

It really pisses me off whenever this kind of casting is done in a real world setting because it’s always in the service of historical whitewashing.

Weembles posted:Fallout is just an example of the internet's eternal struggle with middle-brow entertainment. Stuff that's functionally key jangling light entertainment but with a thin veneer of smarts so that people who've been to college can openly enjoy it. people reject the notion that you can like something that sucks, but you can. we all do. "it sucks" vs "I liked it" aren't actually in opposition unless your identity is directly tied to the media you consume, in which case you have a bigger problem. people can like something that is imperfect, and in fact everything everyone likes is imperfect. Mao taught us this.

Watching the first ep, the goofy americana is better but its interesting how they tried to emulate the vault exit but you just can't do it with typical camera framing/pacing. It just doesn't work. Really striking thinking back on how for all its faults in having to make fallout jump into 3D, Bethesda completely nailed the fo3 vault exit. Seared into memory.
