FAQs

How accurate was The Fallout show? ›

Appart from those details, Prime's Fallout is pretty accurate to the games, and even those above “changes” are more not technically contradicted anywhere, even if the new version of the timeline will bug many fans' idea of the franchise.

Like its inspiration, Fallout is a monumental achievement of sci-fi world-building, presenting an alternately horrifying and exhilarating vision of a United States held together by little more than duct tape and Wonder Glue, unflagging optimism and ultra-violent mercilessness.

While the violence isn't really graphic, it brings huge emotions of fear, depression, and anger. Expect screaming, some blood, loud gunshots, and more. There's also some potentially upsetting deaths that may be too much for kids - -and even some teens.

No, The Fallout is not based on a true story - both the film's director and writer Megan Park have confirmed that it isn't a real tale, however it is inspired by the 42 acts of gun related violence that have taken place in American schools.

The inhaler vials contain a consumable substance that appears to prevent ghouls from becoming feral. The substance inside the vials is a yellow liquid. At least one of its sources is the organ harvesters Huey and Squirrel, who appear to procure it from the harvested organs of ghouls.

Pickman is a man with a strong dislike for raiders, killing many in Boston's North End and in locations across the Commonwealth.

Lucy's dad and the other vault tec execs survived bc of cryogenic freezing, but the show never really explains how Moldaver is still alive. She doesn't look like a ghoul, and she wouldn't have been in a vault tec cryo pod bc she is an enemy of vault tec.

We know that Fallout season 2 has been confirmed and, in even more exciting news, we know that show bosses are "going as fast as we possibly can" to bring it to us.

This is the most likely answer: she froze herself like many others have (Betty and Hank from the show, to count a few), coming back to life circa 2241. While Moldaver could be some form of Synth, the technology to create them wasn't around in pre-war times.

Parents need to know that The Fallout is a poignant, intense drama about a diverse group of teens experiencing grief after going through the trauma of a school shooting. Mature content includes drug use and drinking by teens, strong language ("f--k," "s--t," and more), kissing, implied sex, sounds of gunshots…

Why is the Fallout show rated TV MA? ›

Many scenes depicting murder with blood, and over the top gore. In line with the games over the top gore and dismemberment, several people are shown being cut, stabbed, shot, and dismembered.

Prime Video has rated the series “16” with a note for graphic violence, cruelty, sex scenes, suicide, suicide themes, drug use, violence, content that may disturb, offensive language, nudity, and sexual themes – and breathe!

However, this moment is interrupted by a news alert about another school shooting in Ohio. The news returns Vada to her trauma, and she is roiled in emotional pain as the movie closes, with the sounds over a black screen suggesting that she is having a panic attack.

As "The Fallout" (2021 release; 96 min.) opens, 16 yr old Vada and her younger sister Amelia are at school. During a bathroom break, Vada runs into Mia, one of the "popular" girls. Then the unimaginable happens, as we hear gun shot after gun shot.

Season one of Fallout is set in California, with Lucy's Vault underneath Santa Monica. In terms of timelines, most of Fallout is set during Lucy's life in 2296, while the flashbacks take place around the year 2077.

Although it takes place in a clearly fictional version of La La Land –– the robots and glistening, futuristic skyscrapers in the distance are dead giveaways –– the nuclear explosions themselves are shockingly realistic.

Now we know the Fallout show is indeed canon and lines up with the timeline set by the games, here are the key events that mark the Fallout franchise from the first game to the show.

The show creates its own story within the canon timeline, featuring many elements from the games adapted exceptionally well along with others that are tweaked a bit for the purpose of the show.

While the show isn't directly adapting any specific Fallout story, it does replicate sequences similar to those seen in the games. The first episode's nuclear detonations are, naturally, comparable to the explosions seen in the prologue of Fallout 4. 11.
