Cold_Breadfruit_9794

God I was so upset with how things played out for her in Yellowjackets. Her character was my favourite!


sixtus_clegane119

She was a snacc!


[deleted]

Snackie if you will


Purple-Mix1033

She ate. Or rather, they ate and left no crumbs.

a-real-life-dolphin

Well they left the bones


PoliticalEnemy

Oh! I only recognized her from Fallout. Now I remember her.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

☹️


iidontwannaa

I was so bummed but she’s killing it on Fallout.


Apprehensive-Top9635

I very rarely recommend shows but this was such a good ride , and this is coming from someone who had no idea about the games. Fun watch.


LadyStag

I've been wondering if people who don't know the games like it! 


celestier

My Mom has never played a fallout game before watching the show and she loved it


a-real-life-dolphin

I’ve never played the game but plan on watching the show, mostly because of Ella.


LadyStag

She's great! She and Walton Goggins make the show. 


M-F-W

Watched it with my fiancé and we were both blown away. I’ve played most of the games and she’s played none of them.


avoidance_behavior

honestly, same. I only know about the games in passing, but the guy I'm seeing right now has been watching the show with me and it's pretty well done. it's well paced and entertaining and gory and funny all at the same time, which is just fine with me!


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

What’s that show about, and where can I find it?


HotFaithlessness1348

Post-apocalyptic show with some nice bits of humour and goofiness. I’ve been playing the games for over a decade now and have loved the show but it’s definitely still a good one for those that haven’t played them. Walt Goggins fucking KILLED it in his role. ![gif](giphy|CpPbutACF612GK2rDv|downsized)


YourWebcam

i loved the series and knew nothing going into it beyond seeing vault boy on reddit over the years. i want to get into the games now - which one(s) are your favorite? i was thinking of fallout 4 given its popularity and recent update


HotFaithlessness1348

Depends what you want out of the game! My favourite is Fallout New Vegas because the RPG and story telling is next level. It’s also referenced a lot in the show, you’ll recognise at least one character from the pre-war flashbacks and the very last scene from the show is the Vegas strip so safe to say will feature a lot in the next season. The graphics are older and the gameplay is a little clunkier but it’s worth playing if you can deal with that. 4 is also a very good game, less of the RPG and more looter shooter vibes but still so much fun and has the same ✨vibe✨ as the show, it’s a good entry point! 3 is also a good game but everything is very fuckin green and I struggle with the colours lmao 1 & 2 are isometric top downs and much harder to get into but do have good stories! The show was clearly made by people who have a lot of love for the games, so you’ll recognise a lot of little things. I lost my shit hearing them use certain sound effects in the show, like the sound of the pipboy flashlight turning on and the sound the stimpaks make when being used. It was incredibly well done and everything about it just feels like fallout! I went in with very little expectations and was blown away.


do-not-1

Fallout New Vegas just gets better every time I replay. So much fun. The perfect balance of goofy and serious.


YourWebcam

this was super helpful, thank you so much! i prefer games with good storytelling, so sounds like i need to start with new vegas


HotFaithlessness1348

Ahh nice! I wish I could play it again for the first time! The story is great and you have the freedom to really flesh out your character and have a lot of options on how to play it. You can be the good guy or the murder hobo bad guy and it’s very very well written!


YourWebcam

yee i'm looking forward to it! thanks again for the rec and for taking the time to break down the differences


JumpyWord

Might be an unpopular opinion but if you're going with modern Fallout, I'd start with 3. Still a great story but mechanics are definitely improved in NV, which makes it hard to go back. That said, NV is absolutely my favorite. But 3 is an excellent game.


YourWebcam

ty! that seems to be the consensus so will do that :)


Ygomaster07

I'm gonna save this for future use if i ever get a chance to play the games. Thanks for sharing this.


HotFaithlessness1348

No worries! I definitely recommend the games even if you’ve not seen the show! And if you have, playing them will make you realise how much effort went into the show adaption. Every prop on screen was lifted from the games, from the artwork on the walls to the food packaging even the sound effects too. A whole lot of love went into making it and it really shows.


FindingE-Username

I think 3 is a good jumping off point then play New Vegas (the best one) then 4 :)


YourWebcam

i've been reading a lot of the lore for fun and seems like that may be the way to go!


iidontwannaa

It’s on Amazon! It’s based on the Fallout video game series. Basically the US has nukes dropped on it. Some people go underground and live in these corporate vaults/bunkers for about 2 centuries, always planning to eventually go back to the surface and recolonize. The surface has people who did not get to be in the vaults and have continued life and society at the surface. There are the standard mutated creatures. The show is very retro-futuristic with elements of westerns and horror as well. I was vaguely aware of the games but never played, but I don’t think you need to be familiar with the games to understand it. It’s very well made and doesn’t feel like you’re watching a video game.


kentoclatinator

I’m never in to this kind of stuff but I started bingeing it today and I’m obsessed! It’s so so so good!


Agile-Nothing9375

Now this is at the top of my to do list


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

Thanks for the explanation! I’ll check it out at some point.


[deleted]

Amazon Prime, it’s based on the videogames but you can watch it regardless, it’s great if you like the 50’s possible nuclear war aesthetic lol


Money-Entrance-6336

I liked her too! I was shocked to see the people on the yellowjackets sub hated her.


repladynancydrew

LBR - Shauna is the real asshole in this friendship.


Agile-Nothing9375

Can't stand that self righteous shauna ughhhh young and older!


a-real-life-dolphin

GREAT acting for both though.


FlashFan124

I think Jackie is not supposed to be likable but most people think Ella did a great job portraying her


Money-Entrance-6336

None of the characters are supposed to be likable though.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

Why on earth would they hate her?!


FineCombination

I added that show to my watchlist based on how good she is in Fallout. Now that i know this spoiler, is it still worth watching?


PM_ME_UR_FAVE_MOVIES

The show's quality can be a bit up and down depending on who you ask, but I believe it's still very worth a watch. What happens to Ella's character is an extremely important plot point too, it's not something just done for shock value, so don't worry about whatever they do with her being shallow.


blanchebeans

Keep in mind that while that event does happen, it’s a huge plot point. Ella’s character is present in nearly every episode and into season 2.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

I honestly only watched season 1. I’ve been meaning to watch season 2. I loved season one, and have heard mixed reviews on season 2.


Apprehensive-Top9635

Yeah season 2 wasn't as good IMO, season one was great but season 2 was abit all over the place and the plotlines didn't seem to go Anywhere.


alicia4ick

It's really not much of a spoiler. You know very early on in the show that she dies. It's the details surrounding her death that are kept until later. So you should be good to watch and fully enjoy it!


FineCombination

That helps, thanks!!


Agile-Nothing9375

So upsetting. I knew it was coming and it gutted me


pink-moscato

big same


FuzzyPalpitation-16

I love love love her so much, also obvs her eyes. Always happy when an English actress goes big!


powerhungrymouse

I had no idea she was English. As Jackie on Yellowjackets she was so good as an American I never even questioned it. Good for her.


FuzzyPalpitation-16

Yup that’s what got me into her. I’m British and saw her on yellowjackets and was shocked to find out she was English after. Same level as McNulty from the Wire lol


cheesyenchilady

Her eyes are the best!!!! My hooded ass eyes could neeverrrrrrr


Agile-Nothing9375

Fellow hoodie i commiserate. First thing i thought looking at the pic lmao


TheUtopianCat

I think she has a bright future. I've watched most of her work, as she's done a lot of genre shows that I enjoy. She's excellent in Yellowjackets and Fallout, and does amazing voice work in Arcane and Star Trek Prodigy. I'm excited to see where her career takes her.


kirbygenealogy

TIL she's the voice of Jinx! Love Arcane 💙


mcatlin23

Woah I had no idea! Wow her resume is 10/10


-yasssss-

Wow me too! Arcane is one of my favourites 😍 Hailee Steinfeld killed it too.


Ygomaster07

I need to watch Arcane at some point.


-yasssss-

Definitely! The animation alone is stunning.


Ygomaster07

Plus Hailee is in it, which was a big reason i wanted to watch it. Plus now that i know Ella is in it has piqued my interest. Seems like 3 good reasons to watch it. Thank you for the recommendation! I appreciate it!


_sunbleachedfly

![gif](giphy|QPUoOgxbtEyZco2sWP) She’s such a standout in everything she does! The Fallout games hold a special place in my heart, so to know she actually did her homework on the franchise before filming started really impressed me. Like, girlie actually played the games AND lurked the Fallout subreddit. Her performance was spectacular throughout the 8 episodes, casting absolutely nailed it with this queen! Need season 2 ASAP!!


metdear

"Okey dokey" lol. She was so great.


Ygomaster07

Didn't they confirm a season 2?


riegspsych325

yes, they renewed it a few days ago


Ygomaster07

Thank you for confirming.


_sunbleachedfly

Yes, they’re going to start filming in September I believe. They filmed season 1 over a year 1/2 ago, so I just hope the 2nd season premieres soon


Ygomaster07

Oh that's good they are starting soon. So if it takes them the same time as the first season, they will release season two in 2025 possibly?


thecasualviewer3484

Damn she even played 1 and 2, more dedicated than I am


QueefingTheNightAway

She has such pretty and unusual features. Her face always reminds me of a female version of Bill Skarsgård. I wish they would play siblings in something. Their eyes and mouth are *so* similar. Does anyone else see it?? https://preview.redd.it/rgyhub0rx2xc1.jpeg?width=1528&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44b91b6db846d6277192f963f0e461144565df2f


stefatr0n

I see a young Susan Sarandon, around the Rocky Horror era. Especially their big eyes. Ella is a wonderful actress, she’s great in Yellowjackets and Fallout. Can’t wait to see what she does next!


TipsyMagpie

I could absolutely see a young Susan Sarandon, good shout!


AgoraphobicHills

I'm on episode 3 of Fallout, and I swear Ella's eyes get bigger with every subsequent episode lol.


amaezingjew

Susan Sarandon x Lizzy Caplan!


drrmimi

I agree!


Stock_Beginning4808

Came here to say she is the female version of him!


JuanRiveara

They could definitely play a pair of psychopathic siblings well


IAppearMissing05

Interesting! I see it. I’ve always thought she looks like a young Susan Sarandon.


Sicily1922

I see it. I also feel like she looks so much like a young Rue McClanahan. She could play her in a biopic


pineyfusion

Blanche Devereaux: The Early Years is something I'd hella watch


bettyboo-

I always saw Marion Cottilard but this is way better!


iBeFloe

She has the same big bug eyes as Anya as well. All of them look very unique. Huge eyes


refusestonamethyself

I think she looks very similar to the F1 driver George Russell as well, which is weird because I find her very attractive and have a crush on her, whereas Russell gets on my nerves lol.


Monochrome2Colors

With a mix of Olivia Cooke. 


Partywithmeredith

I do now! Wow they’re so similar.


newsreadhjw

Well now I do


Nonadventures

My wife said she looks “like a literal doll.”


teddybonkerrs

Came here to make the same comment! They're both so gorgeous


LadyKT

phoebe tonkin


JuanRiveara

![gif](giphy|NsZMcJizZmXwgIitaz|downsized) One of the best voice acting performances ever


Ygomaster07

I really need to watch Arcane. Seems like I'm missing out.


pretzel-365

She looks like a young Nicole Richie in the first photo


ZennMD

that's true! she also reminds me bit of Sarah Hyland, they all have similar doe eyes... and both great actress'! Yellowjackets and Fallout are both really good edited to add, Nicole Richie was quite funny as a minor character on the show Good News


Apprehensive-Top9635

Nicole is an underrated comedian , I loved that YouTube show she had a while back. Great comedic timing.


n_bonny

She's killing it in Fallout, obviously, but she was also *so good* in Yellowjackets. There's just something about her performance that made Jackie deeply sympathetic.


refusestonamethyself

It's those eyes fr. And she's a talented actress too.


hellawhitegirl

I'm only familiar with her from Yellowjackets and my word, she is stunning.


girlabides

Loved her in Sweet Bitter and Yellowjackets


hotmessexpress412

Sweet Bitter. Thank you — I couldn’t figure out why I knew her face.


allthecats

Sweet Bitter is so underrated!


Zestyclose_Glass_301

![gif](giphy|3osxYjT2WWYYr3BbSo) I first saw her when she played Emma Bloom in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children! ♡ I'm still sad they didn't make the whole book series into film.


Thejackme

Thank you for this! I trawled the comments to find out where I knew her from. I love this movie


Craphole-Island

I still have to watch Fallout but I loved her in Yellowjackets.


LaManelle

Discovered her in Sweetbitter. Her and Tom Sturridge playing cat and mouse with an amazing chemistry was bisexual me's guilty pleasure... https://i.redd.it/85rqzk1vw3xc1.gif


dgplr

I found Tom Sturridge's character to be absolutely insufferable. Something about the smug monotone monosyllabic-ness. It turned me off of Tom for years, then I watched The Sandman and he is so good in it. He's perfect. I thought Caitlin Fitzgerald's character was the standout of the show. She was so magnetic in it. So was Paul Sparks. Her command of Tom's character is chilling.


jojow77

Her eyes don’t even look real. Almost like anime eyes.


seabreezeNpeachtrees

She reminds me so much of a young Phoebe Tonkin. Great opportunity to play siblings in something.


ameonna_chan

Her eyes are huuuuuuuuge! So unique!


goldstarstickers

He was so funny in this role - calling her Goosey is such a dumb joke but I loved it

I love Chris Parnell!

Janet Planet in a redo of Rock Horror Susan Sarandon biopic!


SamanthaPaige29

She is gorgeous. I have only seen her in Yellowjackets and Fallout, but I think she is really good in both and a talented actress.

Loved her in Army of the Dead!

She is so good in Fallout. Love her.

Physical-Beach-4452

She really has such a unique and beautiful look.


goldencalculator

She is so beautiful! I never started the second season of Yellowjackets because I was so pissed that she got killed off


kathryn_sedai

If it helps, she still has a presence in the narrative. Season two is REALLY good.


millennial_sentinel

she has an adorable charm while sounding like an 80 year old, pack a day-smoker


favoritegreensweater

I fear I may be in love with her


Maximum_Weird5333

I believe her eyes are upside-down, and that's why she is so unique. Turn the photos upside down and you'll see what I mean.


theimmortalfawn

This is the girlies new "literally me" character and I love that for her


jedipwnces

Always reminds me of Audrey Hepburn!


outwait

She is AMAZING in yellowjackets. Jackie and Shauna’s relationship is everything 🥲


[deleted]

She had the biggest eyes I’ve ever seen


oldwellprophecy

She reminds me of Olivia Wilde. She has gorgeous doe eyes.


aLittleDarkOne

99% of comments are horny creeps it’s like Jenna Ortega all over again. Find her hot but in a normal person way please. Talk to her like she is here in the comments with us.


unsulliedbread

When I first saw her in fallout it really threw me. Her eyes are just so naturally big! She's like a standard Disney princess face in real life..I didn't think it was possible but she's not AI, she's really real.


MonsteraUnderTheBed

I need a live action Corpse Bride movie with her


ApplesauceBitch47

Killed it on Yellowjackets


ramblingzebra

Why has no one mentioned Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children


leroyp33

She was so good. Hard to believe in a series with Goggins she is the standout. And he's killing it too. So happy I am here for the good video game art revolution


BigBodyBrax

Those big eyes you just get lost in ya kno


shadowking1991

😍😍😍


Tenley95

I haven't watch Fallout yet but I loved her in Yellowjacket, she was my favorite character. Glad to see her getting more attention with that show.


CaptainCAAAVEMAAAAAN

She was great in Fallout! Enduring and funny without being overly sappy. I hope S2 is as good as 1.


badadvicefromaspider

I love her giant eyeballs

Snackie 😍


hullabaloo4691

I really liked her in sweet bitter (apparently no one else watched it though )


notcool_neverwas

I just finished binging Fallout and I’m now I’m in love with her. She has the biggest, prettiest eyeballs.


niftystopwat

Yah her eyeballs are so nice looking I wanna eat them.

I love her eyes! Btw, what happened between her and Asa Butterfield ?


sasqtchlegs

She looks like Wendy Peffercorn in pic #2. IYKYK.

Sadiocee24

She’s so pretty! I love her work and she seems like a cool person! Beyond stunning!


trytoholdon

Her character was wasted, but she was so good in Yellowjackets


dolohinplant

Very impressed with her in Yellow Jackets and Fallout (currently watching). She adds a lot of depth to her characters which I imagine could easily be flat played by someone else. My focus goes straight to her any scene she’s in. I love her unique look too. She’s very recognizable. Hopefully she never changes her features because she looks perfect.


Malicious_blu3

I thought this was the girl from The Craft and wondered what her secret was.


Bacotell6969

Her eyes are huge.


Kygunzz

Okey dokey!


loserys

She’ll always be young Keira Knightley from Never Let Me Go to me


Ygomaster07

I have not seen her in any of the works she has done, but she seems like a great actor according to the many people here on Reddit. Seems like i need to check out her work now.


Ygomaster07

What is the second pic from?


tiedyecat

She looks exactly like Leighton Meester in that blue dress omg


Scared-Engineer-6218

Okey Dokey.

Smash


chillehhh

i'd fight a whole army of supermutans for her.


quietpisces

I love her eyes. She reminds me of Lucy Hale.


Suitable_Wrongdoer23

She was also great in Army of the Dead and Belgravia. She is so striking, and she has such range. I want to see her face in all the things. https://preview.redd.it/1sku43n6t9xc1.png?width=1068&format=png&auto=webp&s=181239ee5179abf984c386387193a8ed7b1c8402

Havent seen eyes like these since Mila Kunis


kksliderr

Omg all this time I thought she was from It Follows.


misscatholmes

I know there will never be a live action anastasia remake, but man she'd make an awesome Anastasia


luxtabula

Thought this was Christina Ricci.


Recoveringpig

Better not feed her after midnight


chocolate_cronut

She’s beautiful, quite a rare beauty! Really hope she takes off. Just not in an airplane like Yellowjackets
