Timothy Kane, one of the original authors of Fallout, recorded two reviews of the series. The first was released right after the premiere, detailing his initial reactions to the project’s visuals and interactions with the cast. It appears that Amazon MGM, as well as the actors, are filled with fans of Fallout.
Kane’s second review delved into the series with spoilers, addressing even the most contentious points.
Kane seems genuinely thrilled that the world he created has been adapted into a film, capturing the essence of Fallout, even if it was by others.
Throughout his review, Kane repeatedly mentions that Fallout stands out as an unconventional post-apocalyptic work. He points out that some modders have wrongly introduced foreign elements into the Wasteland, a mistake the series does not replicate.
He commends the clever references, analyzes the main characters, likening them to different player types, and then critiques plot inconsistencies. Kane attributes these to the ‘unreliable narrator’ technique, suggesting the writers intentionally included non-essential details about Shady Sands and the war’s instigator.
Kane acknowledges that screenwriters can err, noting that large franchises often experience ‘lore drift,’ where new details clash with established facts, a common issue in Star Wars. However, in Fallout, this drift is minimal and doesn’t detract from the series’ enjoyment.
