6 Thoughts on the First Season of Fallout
Like many people, I had my doubts about a Fallout TV show. Video game adaptations have a bad reputation, even though I still have faith in most of them. And I love Fallout as much as the next gamer. So could they pull it off? Could they make it work? Apparently, they can knock it out of the goddam park!
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
I was a little worried after seeing the first teaser trailer for the Fallout show, but the second trailer was awesome and I was fully on board. I don’t think Amazon Prime should have released the whole show in one day, I think Fallout could have benefited from a weekly release, but those choices aren’t mine to make. I managed to finally watch all the episodes this week so it’s now review time!
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review on the first season of Fallout. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show! And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

We got a new trailer yesterday for the upcoming Fallout TV show, and I like this trailer a lot better than the first one. This trailer really shows off the world and plot of Fallout, from the Vault Dweller stuff to the Brotherhood of Steel to so much more. This is a great-looking trailer for a great-looking show!
I love the look of this. All of the iconography is perfect. The mood is perfect. Walter Goggins is going to really bring it! I really like the transition of the Vault Dweller from beginning to end. Everything looks solid!
And awesome news: every single episode of Fallout will be available on the same day, when it launches on Amazon Prime on April 11!

Cartoon Trailer Monday!
Last week was a great week for cartoon trailers. And if I was more on my game, I should have posted about these last week. That’s on me. I’m sure everybody’s already seen these trailers, but you haven’t heard my thoughts on them yet!
First up is the big one, X-Men ’97. Everybody’s been talking about this all weekend, and of course I’m excited for this show. I lived off of the original X-Men animated series, so I am here for this!
Looks wonky but manageable. Not sure bringing back the same voice cast was the best idea. Not sure whatever they’re doing with the animation was the best idea. But their heart seems to be in the right place. Seems like they’ve got some solid stories lined up, and that Daily Bugle flapping in the breeze at the start of the trailer showed Maggott and Stacy X, and if those two characters appear for real in this show, then I’m going to automatically consider it a success.
Also, I am 110% behind everything they’re doing with Morph. Making them nonbinary is a great idea. And I love their new blank face/AoA Morph look. The Morph serialized story from the original show was always really impressive to me, and I’m excited to see them as a solid member of the team now.
X-Men ’97 comes to Disney+ on March 20.
Next up is the trailer for the second half of season two of Invincible. Loved everything so far, love the comic series, so bring it on!
Looks great! I recognize some of the storylines and characters from the comics, and then there’s stuff I’ve forgotten about. I’m confident that the people behind Invincible know exactly what they’re doing and they’re going to pull it off splendidly. So everybody just keep up the good work and get it done!
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on March 14.
Lastly, our first look at Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I loved Mutant Mayhem as much as the next person, so I’m on board with those show.
Looks fun. Looks a little cheaply animated, but I can live with that. I don’t actually know if I’ll watch this show. I haven’t watched an ongoing Ninja Turtles cartoon in a very long time. They’re mostly for kids for real. And that’s how it should be! Let kids enjoy the Ninja Turtles. But if it’s as good as the movie, I might try this out.
Tales of the TMNT comes to Paramount+ this summer.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith Looks Great!
It’s a new year, so we’ve got new television to watch! And the new Mr. & Mrs. Smith show on Amazon Prime is starting to look really great. It’s not going to be a remake of that Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie movie, it has it’s own plot. And that works for me.
As anyone could have predicted, Donald Glover and Maya Erskine look like they’re going to be amazing together! My interest in this show exists purely on the strength of their awesomeness, and this trailer shows that off perfectly. I’m totally on board and can’t wait to watch!
Mr. & Mrs. Smith comes to Amazon Prime starting on Feb. 2.

A New Mr. & Mrs. Smith, For the Fun Of It
Amazon Prime is going to make a new Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV show, possibly just for the heck of it? I just did a Wikipedia search and apparently the original movie, an Alfred Hitchcock comedy from 1941, had nothing to do with spies? And then there was a TV series that was about spies in 1996, and then I don’t think either had anything to do with the more well known Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie in 2005.
I have no idea what this “franchise” is about…but I do know that Donald Glover and Maya Erskine sounds like a great casting!
Honestly, I’m really only interested in watching this show because of those two. Donald Glover needs no introduction, so he should be great. And then Maya Erskine has been kicking all sorts of ass. She burst onto the scene with Pen15, which is great. And she keeps showing up in stuff I enjoy, like the 2019 movie Plus One, which is a super fun romcom. Then she had a small role in the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show. And just last night I discovered that she plays the main character in the new Netflix anime Blue Eye Samurai, which I’m loving so far!
So yeah, I’m kinda into this show to see Maya Erskine kicking more ass. Mr. & Mrs. Smith is going to kick off on Amazon Prime on Feb. 2.
