Its crazy to me how companies can keep writing up these TV show adaptations, and get away with it.

90% of your target audience doesn't want anything to do with it, and yet you keep making it.

I don’t know, I’ve enjoyed Fallout ever since the first one and I’m looking forward to the show. It’s not like they have to follow a specific storyline from the games, just a new story in an established setting. Should be easy enough. If it’s good, more people will get into Fallout. If it’s bad, oh well, the games are still there.

I always, always hope that its good, but unfortunately 8/10 times, it tends to be a disservice to the franchise.

Could you imagine a Metal Gear TV / movie adaptation? I can't imagine anyone could ever make that a descent representation of not only the content, but the people who are invested in it too, but I would love more than anything to be proven wrong.
