Sorry, but you can't have a main character (a hero) who has no virtues and always makes his decisions out of weakness and desperation rather than strength. Maximus possesses no redeeming virtues from the very beginning. You can't do that with a character and get audience engagement to care about that character.
Your audience has to either like your characters or respect them. It's impossible to like or respect someone who doesn't even have any prerequisite for a hero -- they must possess most virtues and lack only one or 2. Maximus has no virtues in the beginning despite the fact that he's a grown adult. A protagonist must have a few flaws but still possess some redeeming virtues.
Maximus has none. He lacks intelligence, courage, loyalty, principles, virtuous motivation, or anything which even the worst human on Earth would minimally possess. We're supposed to believe he wants the suit so he can be a hero, but the manner in which he acquires it erases any personality trait which would make him heroic. Go ahead and name any real life human monster you can imagine and I can name a virtue they possess which Maximus doesn't. The worst psychopaths known to man were at least bold and determined. The ones who are most famous possessed high intelligence. You can even respect a serial killer even though you loathe them. It's impossible to like or respect Maximus.
Further, his characterization was that of a 12 year old boy who has just begun adolescence. FFS he even acted like he didn't know what his own pens was for. No normal man can respect any adult male character who seems to possess no male segx drive. In stark comparison, the heroine had the segxual morality of a chimp -- without any sense that she possesses any capacity to connect love with segx.
And who are we to believe she loves The freak of nature who doesn't know how his fk-stick functions No vvoman on Earth is turned on by that. In fact, they're disgusted AF by such men.
It was like watching 2 aliens pretending to be humans but missing the mark.
Only the Ghoul possessed anything remotely resembling real human motivation. Without Goggins, I would've stopped watching Fallout 3/4 of the way into the first Episode.
And who still thinks that guys are out here cking for Girl Boss heroes If you just read the script, you wouldn't be able to tell that the heroine was female. It was like watching a man pretending to be a vvoman. If the role can more believably be played by the opposite segx, you don't have a character, you have a golem masquerading as one.
There are great ways to imbue characters with weaknesses without making them unlikable, contemptible, or unbelievable. Fallout failed at this with 2/3 of their main characters. It was an affront to good writing and an insult to the intelligence of their audience.
Perhaps people have grown so accustomed to sewage that drinking odorless sludge seems refreshing.

the only good thing about the show is how it looks, the writing sucks. i mean Cooper attacking the Gulper with a stick while he has firearms then the Gulper dies, cause u pull something out of his mouth 4/10 is very generous if you actually think about what happens on screen while watching

Looper must have noticed that even with 5. 7 million subs, the only way they can get more than 50, 000 views on a video is if it is a fallout video.
Way to walk it back. Shouldn't you guys be reviewing more dogshit super hero movies or something

The guy who pulled him out of the power armor is from the shows super store and son of Zorn, he was also in 21 jump street. No no he was a birthday performer because he was divorcing his wife because she was one of many from vault tech who dropped the bombs

I loved the 1950s stuff cuz its something that is tougher for the video games to explore (without cut scenes or lack of action) i felt that slow burn of this unexplored section of the history is great for the lore of the game!

Rotten tomatoes doesn't set that 93% score, it's 93% positive reviews.
Maximus doesn't have any interest to save the world. Only to get revenge on the ones that hurt him, and to help Lucy along the way.

Lucy is a human anime character, a praying mantis with those eyes. It's distracting as hell but also so intriguing. The show is fantastic, an easy 9 if not 10 out of 10
