I mean fallout certainly has the world and stories to be turned into a series of movies or a tv show. I just hope they don't focus too much on the woke aspect and actually take advantage of the source material and storytelling

Either you have never played the games or never paid attention to anything but the gunplay.

90% of Fallout is social commentary, and it's not even subtle about it.

What are we talking about here? Racism against ghouls? Fascistic vaults? Common, everyday slavery?

I never know what someone means when they say "woke". Are you for those examples above, or against them?

I'm against producers hamfisting woke ideals into content, like if the whole series was just shallow men=evil, women=strong, or every single character is non binary and points are constantly being made about it and things like that.

When it feels more like a circle jerk than just realities of the story, going out of its way to basically virtue signal removing focus from the actual interesting stories
