Science fiction isn't for everyone.
I like how this comment works on more than one level.
The thing to keep in mind with Fallout is that according to it's Wikipedia page it's set over 200 years after the Great War, so we're well past the point of people being shocked and depressed all the time, and we're back to people just going about their lives and trying to survive. This could go a long way towards explaining why everyone isn't walking around shocked and depressed like you'd see in a story set in it's immediate aftermath.
Not what I meant. I meant someone who's intentionally acting dumb to dodge the topic instead of just being genuine and expressing disinterest.
I understand it's 200 years later, but it's still a hellish landscape, but it felt less like the post-apocalypse and more like a world SG-1 might run into in a campy episode. There's also what the main character went through, but she has the emotional depth of a 90's sci-fi show guest star.
Ella Purnell said the producers described Lucy to her as "post apocalyptic Ned Flanders." And you know what, she does an excellent job portraying that.
Ned Flanders is the kind of character who's funny as a guest star, but I don't want him as the main character.
The Day After traumatized me as a teen. Never saw Threads though.
I'm sorry the movie traumatized you as a teen.
Well, to be fair, I did research on nuclear war and Reagan was in office... I think my entire generation was scared of dying in a nuclear war.
I would agree but by the end here depth becomes more apparent.
It should have been immediate. A bunch of her friends she'd known her whole life are slaughtered, she watched people die in front of her, and she watched her father get kidnapped. No one's going to remain bright and happy after that.
