"Fallout" Season 2 debuts on Prime Video this Wednesday, December 17, and with it comes 2025's final chance to live up to the long-promised "big moment for video game adaptations." That's a lot of pressure to put on series star Ella Purnell, but someone has to do something at a time when the Warner Bros. fire sale is throwing Hollywood into a tailspin - and collaboration with the roughly $188 billion games industry feels more urgent and essential than ever before.
Those flashbacks featuring pre-ghoulified Cooper Howard take place around 2077. Specifically, the flashback showing the nukes falling on America takes place on October 23, 2077. The recap also claims that Lucy goes with the Ghoul at the end of the Fallout season finale because she has to choose between life and death. Wrong again, you dumb robot. She actually goes because she wants to track down her father and learn the truth. Something the Ghoul is interested in, too.
All of a sudden, I'm looking at this world from a very different perspective, and as something on a screen in which I am an avatar in. I don't believe that I'm an avatar. I believe The Ghoul exists in the world. I believe that Cooper Howard exists in the world, The best way that I can serve this world and serve the fans of this game, I think, is to go to work every single day and believe the circumstances that I'm presented with.
