Fallout Show Divides Fans: Factions Portrayed as “Braindead”

Fans of Fallout were buzzing recently when the show writers made a bold move that seemed destined to alienate everyone equally. In an effort to keep everything balanced and appease supporters of the different factions, they managed to pull off the nearly impossible: turning each faction into a parade of absolute brainlessness. Yup, it feels like they really went out of their way to annoy every single group out there.

This situation blew up when viewers started sharing their disappointment online, first on

platforms like Twitter and Reddit. It quickly became a hot topic as clips from the show surfaced, showing characters making one absurd decision after another—like, why even bother calling it a faction if they can’t even think? The outcry seemed to echo the same sentiment: “Not this again!” Every corner of the internet was filled with frustrated fans shaking their heads and sharing memes that summed up their disbelief.

The comments section turned into a litany of disbelief, with people dissecting scenes and asking how characterization could fa

ll that flat. It was almost comforting in a way, like, everyone was in on the joke, collectively cringing at how the writers just couldn’t get it right. Folks started tossing around ideas that it was all a deliberate choice, but the overall vibe was more like “what were they thinking?” With every new episode, it felt like viewers were almost betting on what new depths of stupidity were on the horizon. It became a running gag, though not one anyone was exactly laughing at.

As discussions spread, certain moments became almost mythic in their ridiculousness. Characters crossing unthinkable lines and then just… standing there, confused, really struck a nerve. It made people question everything they loved about the original games. Fans who used to passionately defend their factions now seemed united by a common sense of betrayal. The disappointment hung in the air, as if everyone had suddenly realized they were watching the same train wreck in slow motion. No matter how many comments were made, the thread of conversation felt unfinished, leaving behind a sense of “what could have been.”
