Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to ha...
There’s not enough wackiness in the trailer. Fallout has always had a thin veneer of grimdark with a whole hidden iceberg of goofy bullshit and it was amazing.
There are a lot of reasons to not judge it yet. First and foremost, the director/show runner has zero input on the trailer. That’s all the marketing department, and the trailer is designed to get as many eyeballs as possible on the final product. Numerous examples exist of trailers which bared little resemblance to the movie/show/game/whatever.
Secondly, they buried the lead on the director. Jonathan Nolan did direct much of Westworld. But he also wrote a bunch of award winning films for his brother, Christopher Nolan. Movies like Memento, Interstellar, The Prestige, and Dark Knight. He’s no slouch, and I’ll reserve judgement until I see it.
J. Nolan also did “Person of Interest”. It’s a lesser-known show but it was very good.
It felt like a classic 80s show at first(the hero is a badass supported by an eccentric rich guy to help random people) but, without spoiling it, it takes a very interesting turn.

I’m getting huge “missing the point” vibes.

To back you up, the first Doom Patrol trailers did little justice to how weird that show is.

While i fully agree, a lot of people won’t know what Fallout is, and they kinda have to set the basics first.
With that being said, I question whether Amazon can pull this off.
it’s a trailer, it also has to get the normis
so the cyclops overseer drinking a moldy cup isnt wacky at all?
