Announcement to those who do not like Maximus because they think his actor was awkward and didn't do well. Congratulations on not being able to read a character and or having little to no media literacy. The idea that Maximus' character is awkward isn't because of "bad acting" it's because he is supposed to be the awkward strong character who doesn't know about shit.

Maximus was played very well by his character, and in the first season his character growth is focused on second to Lucy, and near the end we focus a lot on the Ghoul because he is the more complicated character so it makes sense to start breaking him down in the first season more.

It gives strength to our three main characters and how they balance out the unravelling between the characters is based on how they see fit to bring out the amount of information needed or wanted.

It doesn't mean that Maximus is bland or was not promising, it's because he is supposed to be a character you don't know everything about.

It's honestly laughable seeing people getting upset and not liking a character purely because everything about that character, their actions, and their thoughts weren't laid on the table with giant neon signs pointing to them. You don't need to have your hand held and walked through every aspect of a media or its characters to like or understand.

If you genuinely can't understand or enjoy a media because of that, you lack media literacy or the ability to draw conclusions/enjoyment/thoughts from missing information.

This is another reason why New Vegas fans are getting upset. There is nothing to get upset about, and for some reason, they cannot understand that. Official directors from both the studio and Bethesda have denied any strength to the concerns of beloved NV fans, and they're still mad.

And last but definitely important: Just because you don't like a character doesn't make them a bad character. If they're a bad person, you're supposed to be uncomfortable and dislike them and their actions, but simply disliking a character's actions or speech doesn't mean they're a bad character.

So to the Fallout fans that lack literacy to the show, or are confused and sad there were no neon signs with info cards that showed up mid show to help you understand why a character did or said something, I hope you get better.

FALLOUT (2024) - Episode 7: The Radio

Did Fallout casually drop a non-binary character out of the blue like that? I love them, very gender. But I did not expect that from the Brotherhood?!?!
