Don't tell them that. They will be banging on about his melanin soon.People don't even seem to realise there is more than one protagonist either and the other one is male

Another strong female lead
If given the option I always create / choose a female character in games. It's more weird for me wanting to stare at some computer generated guys a$$ for 60 hours xD Women always get the cooler looking armor etc too
It is being produced by the people behind Westworld:

I hope it isn't as serious as Westworld,as the Fallout series has quite dark humour - the original Nuka Break fan series captured the mood quite well.
Seriously, if you can't understand that it's not the fact it's a female lead, but how they are portrayed, you just don't want to see the issueI truly hope there are no females in the lives of some of the posters here. Social services might need to visit.
I'm looking forward to it and I couldn't give a toss if the main character was female or anything. I'll judge the show on if I like it or not.
That's hardly a ringing endorsement as WW was a disaster after S1.
Is this a serious post?
I watch the trailer and see a new TV character leaving a vault, very much like it happened in the game.
I didn't even look at the positions of all the men relative to her.
Probably why I just get on with trying to enjoy entertainment and don't have all these weird hangups about female characters.
From a brief watch of the trailer, I didn't pick up on the #metoo and just assumed female lead - hopefully it's more Furiosa than She-Hulk . But yes, the red flags are there.I can see both sides of the "strong independent female" issue. On the one hand it could be just fine but within the context of modern media I think it's perfectly reasonable to be suspicious of the way it seems to be setting itself up. Hopefully this is a total false alarm, but the alarm is there loud and clear.
Yeah you can't have Fallout without brutality, bleakness but also surreal humour (I think the 2D games did this best as it was necessary to fill in the blanks).From a brief watch of the trailer, I didn't pick up on the #metoo and just assumed female lead - hopefully it's more Furiosa than She-Hulk .

I did wonder from the power amour if the show wasn't going to be entirely serious.
How many days a week to you crack one off to a copy of the road?Never understood people using the game to back up their opinion. Does that mean you'd find it acceptable for the protagonist to beat death claws to a pulp with just their bare hands? Because you can do that in the game too.
Anyway, so you're at the other end of the spectrum despite my earlier argument, finding my reasoning weird coupled with noticing none of what I saw. I'm not surprised you didn't clock onto the aforementioned guy cowering in fear squealing her name. I think this is just another textbook example of how brainwashed you and many others have become subjected to years of this subliminal messaging crap. If you saw this back in the day after watching hours of Roger Moore doling out backhanders you'd have something to say.
Misogynist-woman-beater-Andrew-Tate-worshipper? As said there can always be opportunities for women to play roles as formidable characters that are believable without feeling they're there simply to push an agenda, appease investors and tick PC boxes. I'm actually hard-pressed to come up with anything that I've watched in recent times that I could give an example of this. Ah, Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl, there we go. Only 10 years ago...
Was also a bit taken aback by Andor. In the first confrontational scene with the actress, I was just waiting for her to kick about 10 men off the screen but no, something very down-to-earth happened instead. So it's a shame to have to say that was extremely refreshing to see in a world where women have continued to reign supreme this last decade, thanks to their audience's support and sub-standards, trying to entertain themselves with this nonsensical casting, unwilling to make a stance for anything better.
I mean, are you really going to tell yourself that this is the chosen one because you could do so in the game? This comfortable, pretty girl? I think we all know what would really happen to her venturing out alone into a ******** like that.
On that note, I think I'll call it now as this show is clearly giving off the wrong vibe opting for wacky stuff with the likes of cyclops showing off its comedic side. Also as per above, everything looks too clean for a post-apocalyptic setting. In fact, it's more impressionable to a junkyard carnival out back in some desert than it is anywhere remotely close to capturing the atmosphere of Fallout.
Not enough it seems, he's getting worked up over nothing!How many days a week to you crack one off to a copy of the road?
