I’m sure this has been discussed somewhere before, but one of the things I loved about the finale of season one is how Lucy kills her feral mom in front of Cooper and how it parallels his killing of that other ghoul that was in the process of going feral.
When Cooper takes the shot, she reacts with a “how could you do such a thing” type attitude, but by the end we can see her world view is starting to accommodate the idea that - in some nuanced situations - an act of violence and an act of mercy can overlap.
And - to take it just a smidgen further - the finger she used to pull the trigger is the same half-dead replacement from when Cooper cut hers off. It’s a nice visual for the fact that Cooper and the wasteland are starting to transform who and what she is and we’re beginning to see the effects of it.
you can tell the role was made for walton because he said they offered it to him, like you can tell
he did not audition. they called him. they said they'd watch a fallout show if it had walton goggins in it then called him up forreal
yeah, i know how the industry can be and that's why i hope the formula stays so they can be allowed to do something great, you know? feels so rare when something is this good. yes, i am crossing my fingers everything works out well and we get something good in due time 🙏
they'll probably make him sexier next season 🤷 gldgld
the very same! i need so much more backstory and so does walton 😫 it's really not enough episodes but at the same time, i get it--- maybe they'll add an extra episode or two in future season for this kind of feeling fans have. and yes, it looks like it's not so much as some other prosthetics of the past and he's working with his long time friends in that department so there's a lot of communication and collaboration there, too. the crew seems so phenomenal, i really hope this crew can stay together for a while, they make magic together forreal and you're not anymore sappy than me, i'm crying all over the tl everyday about these characters and actors gdldl
they'll probably make him sexier next season 🤷 gldgld
realizing like last week i could make some good ass cooper edits because i do make edits and trying to come up with ideas [so far the ones i've seen on twitter and had been posted to tiktok smacked so good my god]
he said they got it down from like around five hours to one and a half i think? it was a lot of work but he seems to enjoy playing these characters so much, i think he likes a little bit of a challenge so i assume we'll get just as much of ghoul cooper as we will pre war cooper next season too tbh 🥹
