the social commentary about harry potter is learning your place and not questioning the system this is not a joke post that is literally the moral of the story where the lovely wizard government stays, the house elves stay slaves and everything goes back to the status quo after the bad man was killed and this is considered good

100% Mr House. It lets them keep the Mojave setting in a state most like it was during the games for maximum brand recognition and references. Plus Mr House is a very popular character and can be slotted into any narrative function they might need, from benefactor to antagonist to neutral authority figure.

I do think Mr. House is the most likely right now. Otherwise, you wouldn't cast attractive, younger Mr. House a scene that doesn't necessarily call for him specifically.

seeing people complain about the tv show mistreating the NCR lore is really funny to me because i couldn't give a poo poo about the post-apocalyptic gavin democrats

sorry, I have been told by people with names like the Marxist Duck that what makes fallout interesting is the boring mayo rear end NCR proving that society is moving on and a real show needs to show ballot stuffing in Shady Sands.

Yeah the story starts with Harry being abused by his relatives and he as he matures he learns actually they're cool and were right to treat him like poo poo

and it ends with him literally becoming a Wizard Gestapo

The other three also would be too much effort for the writers. NCR blew up so it just can’t do them. Legion ending destroys the whole area which defeats the purpose of using the “Hey remember that setting you liked?” setting. Yes Man has too much variability in the outcomes and they would be forced to make the Courier an actual set in stone character. Mr House on the other hand let’s them just copy paste everything as-is from the games.

She was a big time supporter of Blair, it checks out.

Harry being hunted by the magical feds throughout the backend of the series, seeing the government subverted and complicit in whatever the unspecified crimes of the bad guys were, and then joining the feds is very funny too.

its an animatronic, theres actually not much cg chucky in the show, its usually a puppet or a little person / kid in a chucky costume

fun fact the whole reason the original chucky team was able to make so many increasingly metatextual sequels was because their continuing to use practical effects instead of computer effects made them really cheap to produce

the 2019 remake without the original team does use computer effects instead of practical effects and this actually alienated most of the existing fanbase which was why the rightsholder responded by calling the fans racist and sexist luddites bringing back the original team to make a show so low key popular it has three seasons??? someone must have been screwing around with my notes this cant be right

To Obsidians credit, I love how they put a lot of work into the the Yes Man ending being affected by all the side quests more than the others. So in case you think you have better political opinions than the three factions you can respond to the question of “If you’re so smart why don’t you do it?!” with “Alright I will!”. Depending on how you do all the side quests the Mojave can range from pure anarchy to a socialist proper nation-state.
So of course the show won’t do that and instead just go “Hey member’ Mr House? Hey member’ the Kings? Hey member’ Big Iron?”

Civil War was fun. I went in totally blind and read it as largely a satire: gritty war journalism film BUT in the most moronic and apolitical country in world history. At no point in the movie do we get any sense that any average person would have reason to particularly side with one faction or the other, there’s no real sense that anything is really at stake ideologically. And it’s funny how much that is making people melt down considering, hello, that’s the state of the U.S. right now? Imagining a U.S. civil war as anything but a bunch of broadly centrist establishment types turning the guns of empire on each other is outlandish.

Also cool that the NYTs of the world think it’s an ode to the power and trauma of war journalists when all the movie’s war journalists are portrayed as huge morons with absolutely no coherent theory or understanding of the conflict they cover, it’s never suggested that their work makes a difference in the world in any way, they are literally just egotistical freaks running around chasing the libidinal thrill of being in a war zone.

have u ever seen the 2005 anime speed grapher the main character is a war photographer whos depressed and ashamed of himself because he wants to be a good virtuous journalist but knows full well that he only did dangerous work because he got off on it and the country he came back to is a total shithole where he cant even pretend to work on actual stories that speak meaningful truth to power

in the story that follows he does battle with an epsteinesque cult that accidentally gives him superpowers only intended for platinum members and his attempts to make any positive change in society through official channels are repeatedly sabotaged by random powerful assholes george w bush is one of those assholes actually but hes not in the cult mostly because he doesnt live in japan

anyway its pretty much the only piece of media about journalism ive ever seen that isnt completely up its own rear end about how important journalists are and its an anime with superpowers in it lol

Yes, this is correct. The NCR was doomed to collapse, just like Caesar's legion was doomed to collapse but for different reasons.

That's what I liked about the Rockford Files. The cops were 100% portrayed as stupid power tripping meatheads that were always getting in the way of Jim's investigations. Even Jim's one cop friend was completely untrustworthy.
