The Fallout TV show trailer has been well-received and created a lot of excitement for its impending release. However, one line from the trailer has longtime fans of the franchise giving their nods of approval on social media.

Fallout is one of the most popular game franchises ever, with its retrofuturistic, post-apocalyptic style and its story echoing Cold War-era sentiments and fears of nuclear winter, making the series one of the most compelling single-player experiences across multiple generations of gaming media. While the game franchise is currently in between installments, there's still at least one thing fans can expect from Fallout in 2024, thanks to a live-action series coming to Prime Video.

Xbox releases a new Fallout controller, which is inspired by the franchise's popular Vault Boy mascot and can be customized to a user's preference.

While the Fallout series already gave fans a first look at important facets of the show previously, an official trailer for the upcoming series dropped more recently with a lot more for fans to sit in awe of, and one line, in particular, has been the standout moment for many fans. Reddit user MarvelsGrantMan136 took to the site’s r/Fallout subreddit to upload the Fallout trailer for discussion with other fans, to overwhelmingly positive responses. However, the most well-regarded part of the trailer by far comes at the Fallout trailer's 2:49 mark, where Aaron Moten's Maximus appears on screen alongside Ella Purnell's protagonist Lucy at the tail end of a stellar montage to conclude the instant classic line, “Everyone wants to save the world. They just disagree on how.”

Signs have been positive since the project started, with Todd Howard comparing the upcoming TV Series to Fallout 5 after a visit to the set, and the Fallout trailer has cemented this positive outlook in the minds of fans. Maximus' line was touted by many in the comments as perfectly encapsulating the game's vibes and indicating a proper understanding of the source material. This is in addition to the line sounding extremely cool and fitting in perfectly with the rest of the trailer, which also received praise for the visuals and the portrayal of many iconic Fallout things like power armor and the wastelands. Also receiving an honorable mention was another line from Moten's character, who answers, “To hurt those who hurt me,” when questioned about why he joined the Brotherhood of Steel.

Fans have expected stellar writing ever since the Fallout series was greenlit with Jonathan Nolan attached, with the accomplished screenwriter being responsible for some of the most powerful moments in several projects, including many of his award-winning brother’s best work. This power shows up in the Fallout trailer, as the line Maximus perfectly expresses the factional nature of the source material in a way that few others could have. While the decision to be original when adapting the IP could have led this series down the path of harsh judgment and rejection that has become the lot of live-action adaptations since the uptick in their popularity, Fallout seems set to find itself regarded in the same vein as Netflix's One Piece.

This renewed excitement also comes with an even more prominent feeling that the Fallout TV series' 8-episode structure is a double-edged sword for such an ambitious show. With all-new stories to tell and the extra responsibility of being canon to the franchise, it’ll be interesting to see how well the show’s first season can do.

The Fallout TV show is set to be released for streaming on Prime Video on April 11, 2024.

Fallout

Fallout is a post-apocalyptic RPG franchise created by Interplay Entertainment and developed by Black Isle Studios before Bethesda Softworks took over the IP in 2004. The series features a retrofuturistic style following a nuclear war that devastated the game's world. Players typically inhabit a Vault Dweller, someone who remains safe in an underground shelter, appearing in the post-apocalyptic world where a problem needs to be solved. While the older games were more tactical RPGs, Fallout 3 took the franchise into the first-person shooter genre while retaining the RPG elements.
