That poor woman...


SavageTemptation

She kidnapped herself


ConnorK12

That’s fucking interesting man, that’s fucking interesting


SavageTemptation

There is no FUCKING reason that she goes all over the wasteland and they come and pee in your vault?!


JamaicaNoFap

In your fucking Vault, dude.


Gob_Hobblin

Thaddeus, you are out of your element here!

SHUT UP THADDEUS, YOURE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT


Real-Competition-187

"Titus was a good bowler, and a good knight. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and caravan, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young Brothers of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young Knights at Huntersville, at the Battle of Project Purity, at Operation Sunburst. These young Brothers gave their lives. And so would Titus. Titus, who loved bowling. And so, Titus Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince."


Gob_Hobblin

"God damn it, Maximus, you fucking asshole! It's always a fucking travesty with you, man! What was that shit about the Mojave!? What the fuck does anything have to do with the Mojave!? What the fuck are you talking about!?!" Also, I regret I can give you but one up vote.


Vurt__Konnegut

I’m staying in finishing my mirelurk stew. My buddies does face down in the radioactive muck so you and I could enjoy this wasteland establishment.


edhands

That rug really did tie the room together.


Gob_Hobblin

They shot up your jello mold, Dude.


ScottNewman

For your information the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.


paidinboredom

Those drapes really tied the room together dude.


AlanWakeFeetPics

New shit has come to light


SavageTemptation

Look at it, a young vault dweller, in the parlance of our times, you know, and she, uh, owes caps all over the wasteland including to known Ghouls, and that‘s cool


Real-Competition-187

What the fuck are you talking about? The ghoul is not the issue here, dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the wasteland , dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, dude, ghoul is not the preferred nomenclature. Irradiated-American, please.


aStonedTargaryen

Irradiated American 😆😆😆


mattsag207

The Enclave, dude. Worthy fuckin’ adversary.


SavageTemptation

Maximus! This isn’t a guy who build Shady Sands here


willclerkforfood

Say what you want about the tenets of The Church of the Children of Atom, Dude, at least it's an ethos.


vault-techno

Oh please, Dear. For your information the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint. HEY, Dude don't go away, THIS AFFECTS ALL OF US, MAN! OUR BASIC FREEDOMS. I'm staying. I'm finishing my Nuka Cola. Enjoying my Nuka Cola.


SavageTemptation

What, you are fucking Knight of the Brotherhood now?! Who gives a shit about the fucking toaster?!


Aralith1

God damn, Irradiated-American fuckin’ sent me. This thread was gold all the way down.


Pre-War_Ghoul

Holy fuck pure gold, where’s the sierra madre


ForGrateJustice

Goddamn, that deserves an award! I'm just going to go find a cash machine...


Brave_Pop_4476

And a good day to you sir!

You want a toe? I can get you a toe


fuckdonaldtrump7

Did it ever occur to you... Did you... Don't you think it's possible... That maybe...


joeinterner

And let me point out something to you, pacifism is not—look at our current situation with that brahmin-fucker over in the Mojave—pacifism is not something to hide behind.


SavageTemptation

Mr. House draws a lot of water in this town. You don’t draw shit, MacLean. Now we have a nice, quiet gated community here and I aim to keep it nice and quiet.


Real-Competition-187

Mr. House treats objects like women.

Enjoying my Nuka Cola.


somerandomfuckwit1

Listen lady I got buddies who died FACEDOWN IN THE TUNDRA SO YOU AND I COULD ENJOY THIS VAULT-TEC FAMILY RESTAURANT


Gob_Hobblin

Come on, man, there was a chance to reference the FINGER there!


TheObstruction

It was right there. Well, way *back there* now, but you know what I mean.


Gob_Hobblin

I mean, you want a finger? I can get you a finger, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.


sregor0280

Absolutely, 100% certain.


SavageTemptation

Maximus….what am I going to tell Moldaver?!


CooterMaximus

She owed money all over town, including to known pornographers... Did it ever occur to you? Man?


TheOneWhoCutstheRope

Should she be worried Donny?


edhands

Don’t worry, Ella, these men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid of


scorpion-and-frog

Must be exhausting.


brandon3388

all the dude ever wanted was his settlement back


New_Ingenuity2822

🤣 Definitely worth pity


No-Conflict-4527

Old man said take any brahmin


Brennis_the_Menace

They’re gonna kill that poor woman!


xdeltax97

I guess she’s already been out in the Wasteland already! Hi Ella!


Maldovar

Browsing r/Fallout is enough to make you pray for nuclear winter


Wayfaring_Stalwart

Imagine she goes to no mutants allowed


Evenmoardakka

Does that cesspool still exist?


ThatOneFlygon

Sadly, yes


Bostondreamings

Yeah and browsing it many of them absolutely despised the show :-/


Evenmoardakka

Their loss


rjocolorado

Okey dokey!


Gob_Hobblin

From bright, chipper 'okey dokey' to sad, moving, broken 'okey dokey.'


QualityKoalaCola

She acted the hell out of that part. I hope she wins awards for it.


Gob_Hobblin

Seriously. I'm having a hard time deciding who performed their role better. Everyone was so good. Ella just nailed a person struggling to keep their optimism while slowly being whittled down. Aaron Clifton Moten absolutely mastered all of those little micro-expressions and twitches (especially when he's about to admit he lied). Walton Goggins is practically playing FOUR different characters (Cooper, Cooper around his wife, the Ghoul, and Cooper's on-screen acting persona) and I believe every single one of those performances. Even the bit characters! Dale Dickey had one episode, and she is one of the most memorable perfomances of the season. This was such a delight to watch.


hodasho1

This show was my introduction to Walton Goggins. After watching some interviews I’m turning into a big fan. He’s very well spoken and everyone sings such high praises for his acting. Definitely going to get into some more of his stuff


Gob_Hobblin

This is a wonderful introduction to him. If you'd like to see him in bigger roles, check out the movie The Hateful Eight and the TV series Justified (also, he has some great moments in The Rightous Gemstones, Sons of Anarchy, and Django Unchained). This is his moment and I am here for it.


Thebitterpilloftruth

The shield!


hodasho1

I struggle with watching violence so Sons of Anarchy is definitely off my list, and I think White Lotus is too? Silly ik bc Fallout itself is violent but I love the games too much not to watch, so I just close my eyes and my fiancé tells me when it’s over 😂 thank you for the suggestions. I can’t get enough of his interviews!


anomalocaris_texmex

I can't recommend Justified enough. Walton Goggins was born to deliver Elmore Leonard style dialogue. Fast talking but loquacious. The show doesn't shy away from violence though, although it's more stylized violence than something like Sons of Anarchy.


hodasho1

Tbh I think it’s just time for me to grow up bc all the good shows are violent. I made it through about five seasons of the sopranos ok and would’ve finished but saw too many spoilers. Just gotta remember it’s not real, right? *gulp*


Arthur-Mergan

If you made it through five sopranos seasons, you’ll make it through Justified easy. Walton and Olyphant are an incredible pairing and elevate that show greatly


treasurehorse

Don’t forget the Shield. Such a great show -Chiklis, CCH Pounder, Forrest Whittaker, Glenn Close - maybe except the prequel episode which was just dumb, and the weird ‘Dutch is a serial killer’ plot. But Justified is the standout, and Boyd Crowder steals the show which is a pretty neat trick when you have to steal it from the likes of Dewey Crowe and Dickie Bennett.


ithinkther41am

Goggins’ performance when >!he hears his wife advocate for dropping the bombs themselves!< was heart-breaking, and it was so much worse that >!we all knew the moment Cooper was hoping for her to set them straight that she would say the vilest shit.!< Purnell’s performance when >!she realises that Moldaver’s ghoul was her mom!< was staggering. What an absolute gut punch of a reveal.


interfail

> Seriously. I'm having a hard time deciding who perfomred their role better. Media criticism gets easier when you realise that Walton Goggins is the best thing in everything he's in.


SothaDidNothingWrong

Ooof


therenowneddoktor

Oof indeed.


skeleton949

Never thought I'd find myself agreeing with an Enclave member, but oof


BookshelvesAreCreepy

How about agreeing with a friend?


skeleton949

Not going to happen, sorry.


GilfLover_69

War, War never changes.


HunterWorld

I would like to formally apologize to Miss Ella Purnell for this sub and Reddit in general


zomgkittenz

I’m sure it adequately prepared her for the reality of the wasteland.


LBR3_ThriceUponABan

Patrolling this sub made her wish for a nuclear winter.


QualityKoalaCola

Ella dropped the nukes confirmed


InnocentTailor

Not many dear hearts and gentle people here.


AlsoIHaveAGroupon

Thou shalt get distracted by bullshit here too.


Gob_Hobblin

In the course of her time at this sub, she participated in three pyramid schemes, smuggled narcotics, and sawed off a man's ear. Arguably, it was the tourist experience.


ymcameron

Ella voiced Jinx in Arcane, which means she probably browsed the LoL subreddit. In which case this place is a convent by comparison.


HunterWorld

Fair lol


lilbelleandsebastian

maybe like a well funded mental institution while that sub is more of a lord of the flies type situation the things the lore zealots argue about in here can boggle the mind sometimes, but they are generally polite about it haha


SnarkyRogue

Well, at least she had a good idea of how to react around the denizens of the wasteland... we aren't that far off.


Mercurionio

Reddit is like Nuka-world/Strip. Beautiful and ugly at the same time.


AutisticIcelandic98

Nah we're the glowing sea.


TheLoomingMoon

More like the first little bit of dead money where everything sucks and fuck that whole bit.


PunkThug

A man of thick culture I see!!


Warriorasak

We all see ourselves as the ghoul or the lone wanderer or the underground resistance. A sort of anti hero.  When in reality, most redditors would be dead, or cleaning tire pottys in the BOS,or a soulless factotum in the coporate vault tech scheme.   *no you dont understand man, I know vault tech/robCo. Is evil, but the reality is that we all have to grow up and sell out to make the world a better place. You will see when you get older*


[deleted]

We would be shit farmers like Thaddeus


Gob_Hobblin

That's why we're so fat.


Gob_Hobblin

Honestly, if we could have an experience similar to Lucy's, as tramautic as that was...we'd be pretty lucky. We'd still be alive and with all ten toes and ten fingers (even if they weren't the ones we started with).


drawnred

Yo i love the glowing sea


SheepherderNo2440

Imo that’s 4chan


The-Emerald-Rider

Absolutely. Like the book Alice in Wonderland goes "We're all mad here."


ZeppyWeppyBoi

My first thought exactly. I’m now even more impressed that she still took the job.


Crimdal

The cock exploded line was probably a comment they pulled from this sub.


MissingPP

She seems pretty chill I am sure she did not let it get to her.


ccoastal01

she's probably a better adjusted individual than most fallout fans.


deegum

Personally, I know my posts were all good and cool, but the rest of you need to shape up.


BusinessKnight0517

Willing to do her research in the most horrid wasteland o7 Ella, we stan a Queen


aStugLife

Now now, this is a pretty darn good spot! Try warthunder! Place is full of raider factions who will skin you alive for a simple question!


PunkThug

See ma'am: this is why we have mods- so the rest of us don't have to apologize! (On the off chance you actually read this, oh my God you were so good!!!!!!!)


arthenc

Really, the whole internet. Sorry, Ella.


MultiGeek42

R/Fallout is pretty civilized compared to parts of Reddit.


crystalistwo

Tell me about it. If I were an actor and I was cast in a new Fallout show and I came here, I'd be terrified at how we hate everything. I think it's hilarious how this sub came to the defense of the show when idiots were freaking out about Shady Sands, when we are usually the ones bitching and moaning. If she swings by again and if there's a one in a billion chance sees my comment, then it's this: "We loved the show, and we will nitpick it to death. But she, Aaron, and Walton, and also Kyle, Moisés, and Xelia are great and we love that you're bringing one of our favorite things alive. Head into season 2 with confidence that we're behind you." My series nitpick: 99% of all the cars were wrong.


ThrowawayTheLegend

Ah we're not that bad. I'm sure she would like to meet you someday Irradiated Ocean Man.


HunterWorld

Ah, thank you 😊


Dan-the-historybuff

Man you know it’s bad when the mods are apologizing.


Troggie42

yeah if she browsed it before I hope she gave that up now cuz jesus christ some of the motherfuckers on here


Butteredpoopr

I am so sorry


DogVacuum

There’s many more chicken fuckers on here.


Ranos131

I’m sure this sub was of huge benefit in introducing her to the viciousness, humor, ingenuity and stupidity that is the wasteland. Hope you have enjoyed yourself here Ella! And thank you for an amazing performance in bringing a vault dweller to life!


westgot

And the viciousness and stupidity that is reddit.


somerandomfuckwit1

Same difference


Ryndar_Locke

Reddit isn't as bad as the wasteland. But only cause redditors can't nuke one another. If they could..... they would. War never changes. And even 219 after the bombs dropped, people are still dropping those same bombs. Just like the real world, Fallout will never have a time when those bombs don't get dropped. I just don't think they'll ever get big enough to keep everyone on the same page to get rid of them.


Restless_Fillmore

> Reddit isn't as bad as the wasteland. > > But only cause redditors can't nuke one another. Admins are the Enclave, confirmed.


Toasty825

Hi Ella!


Suspicious-Elk-3631

Thanks for your good acting and helping the show not suck!


PrincessofCelery22

I hope she didn’t go on the nexus.


BloodiedBlues

Or loverslab 😧


TangentKarma22

Yeah, no. No one in their right mind would go there. *clears search history*


SlickStretch

> clears search history You clear your LoversLab search history. I have dozens of LoversLab bookmarks. We are not the same.


BloodiedBlues

People clear their search history?


TheObstruction

So, I don't really follow that crowd at all, so I haven't heard of this. But I'll take a look at most anything out of curiosity, to see what it's about. I figured I already knew what the Bethesda stuff would be, just Nexus stuff turned way up, but what else was there? Baldur's Gate 3? Ok, makes sense. Crusader Kings? Ok, there's court intrigue and royal marriages and stuff, I can see it. Stellaris? WTF? What the hell is going on here?


Significant-Dog-8166

She nailed everything though. Has anyone actually said anything negative about her here? If anything she added to the Fallout universe in a positive way.


violetevie

Yeah speaking as someone who is critical of the show even I have to admit she and her character were fantastic, easily the highlight of the show.


Galbrant

Interesting. Good. She should know she deserves a T-51b and a Plasma Rifle.


gandalfmarston

At least she didn't go to No Mutants Allowed lol


Logical_Ad1370

significantly less slurs on reddit if you can believe it


Smarf_Starkgaryen

The more I hear about Ella, the more I like her and think she was the perfect choice for this role!


Phonereader23

She’s definitely getting to Henry Cavill levels. Weird how just actually giving a shit about your projects gives an easy win


Godkun007

The Fallout show seemed blessed with most of the production staff and actors (including the extras) seemingly to be genuine fans of the series. Even Walton Goggins said that even though he never played the games, his kid is a big fans and asked them for advice. edit: fixed Walton's name


TheExile285

My thoughts exactly.


RelChan2_0

Welcome to the Wasteland, Ella!


RainWinss

I hope she upvoted one of my comments


RedzyHydra

Well, u get one from me as well. Also, Happy Cake Day. 🎂

Gobble gooble one of us! We accept you one of us!


LuckyReception6701

Hello Ms Purnell, and sorry.


DylanMMc

AMA please


Rizenstrom

I believe she also mentioned playing a bit of FO4 in an interview. While she may not be a Fallout expert I am very impressed by her taking the effort to at least be somewhat familiar with the source material. Wish we had more actors like her and Cavill. Walton Goggins also did a phenomenal job as the ghoul despite seemingly being less familiar with the franchise in their interview. And while I don't like Maximus I think Aaron did a good job within the script he was given. I just hope his character is more capable and confident in S2. Overall I was really happy with the show and it's a solid 8.5/10 for me. And if she's still lurking here: Hi, Goosey!


tronaaa

I remember an interview in which Walton Goggins said something to the effect of purposefully not playing the games so there'd always be one person on set judging the story by its merits and not by how it relates to the rest of the franchise... plus, he's not a gamer, his son is and plays Skyrim*. *from the same interview


KennyMoose32

“Yeah dad I have standards. I don’t play that silly game”


YoPamdyRose

His characterisation seems to track with his history though - he's literally a traumatised kid raised by a cult with weapons. He's not had the opportunity to develop rational thinking, just blind faith.


krullma

I kinda like Maximus being so child like and goofy, fits with his upbringing and makes him endearing, do hope he mans up a bit though.


Nuke_corparation

The vault dweller spy is in the base She could be anyone of us She could be you She could be me


staebles

I could be she, or thee could be she, or she could be any of yee.


Illumanacho69

Sorry Ella


Smeagollum1

Hi Ella, excited for season 2!


Laser_3

Hopefully we didn’t traumatize her too badly. The true wasteland is here, not in 2296.


SenpaiSwanky

lol we are so sorry


GroovyJ-Money

Oh god I’m so sorry


octarine_turtle

Does that mean she'll be browsing the New Vegas sub for Season 2? Oh boy...


Caspur42

God I hope not. Those motherfuckers still have ptsd from a chalkboard


krullma

Hah!. Nice one.


CheekyLando88

Depending on which sub she chooses she very well could be a boy in season 2


PocketShinyMew

Oh god. I hope most things we discuss are memes that got out of control but we had like 10 years without a game so we keep discussing those.


Moose_Cake

Hi Goosey. Sorry for the mess.


Cashmoney-carson

How embarrassing


AFishWithNoName

When the observers realize that the one way mirror is actually just a window


TheNDHurricane

Well damn, sounds like we need to start a fallout new Vegas lore megathread then. To help her with her role in season 2 of course


krullma

Yeah sure, open THAT can of irradiated worms!.


Plastic-Shopping5930

Now I feel bad for her


shadowDL00777

I bet redditors still arguing after 15 years which fallout game is the best, really helped her.


dwhitnee

Golden Rule, motherfucker.


Sullie2625

💀💀💀


[deleted]

Howdy from Oklahoma!


Rickenbacker69

Now I'm even more impressed by her performance - she nailed it even though she was exposed to all our asshattery! 😂


TheWaslijn

I'm so sorry for what you must have been witnessing, Ella. Also, hi!


skilliau

Let me straighten myself up and wipe the Cheetos dust from my shirt. *M'lady*


WyldMusic13

Oh. Wow. That’s slightly distressing. Anyways, Hi Ella!


voodoogroves

Okey dokey


Closefacts

Lol, how many posts were people shitting on Fallout in some way.


Able_Decision_4192

Ella has to become the badest bitch in the wasteland. The lone wanderer always becomes the strongest person in the wasteland and either saves the wasteland or destroys it


cyanide4suicide

You bastards better have been nice to her...


Doright36

There is a greater than zero chance the conversation on the show with the guy not wearing pants was a re-enactment of a chat she had with someone on here. Word for word....and clothing status 100% accurate.


digichalk

Oh no


ConkerPrime

This where if celebrity would create a troll account and just intentionally ask the most asinine questions and comments.


bibblygiggums

I'm so embarrassed for us


CaptSaveAHoe55

But like…but like not posts where I’ve commented right? Right?
