I’m gonna be so upset if the show makes it so that house is fully purposefully responsible for the world ending, because it doesn’t make sense and clashes with his character.
Part of the thing about House is, he’s sentimental to a fault about the old world and Vegas. He’s somewhat tragic, because despite the reality in front of him, he keeps trying to build back “old vegas” and unable to accept the new. He makes the workers speak in old world lingo. He lets the other casinos operate of their own accord, because he misses how old Vegas was *also* corrupt. He preserves the face and voice of his dead lover, in hopes it’ll keep him company like she once did. He makes mister new vegas play old songs of the prewar world. He’s isolated himself to his very own little snowglobe of what vegas used to be, and he’s the only one in that little bubble. He is trying to rebuild this dream of nostalgia and yearning for what came before, and it never works.
It’s like a terminal homesickness, almost. He can never ever return to that time— he can never *ever* go back home. Why would someone so banal about recreating what was, have any interest in purposefully destroying the entire world? Even without his other motivations, money and power (which also wouldn’t be benefitted at all if he ended the world on purpose) I think his sentimentality is enough for him to not want to burn the entire planet. He’s the fakest IDGAFer of all time when it comes to the old world. The writers just want an easy antagonist, on the level of comically evil like the enclave, and if they go this direction, it’s gonna come at the price of making house inherently out of character
I keep revisiting this post as I find it possibly the best and a succinct description of who Mr. House is as a character. I mean, this analysis can't be possibly clearer with the snowglobe motif.
"I enjoy them. There's something about a little diorama set inside a glass dome that I find pleasing."
Mr. House has a collection of little models of the Old World inside domes and kept clean, proper, and preserved. New Vegas is a snowglobe, sealed from the contamination of the New World with Pre-War nostalgia. A diorama of the world he left behind and the life he can never return to.
Anyways, perfect analysis, kudos and good job!
what do you mean this isn't how it went down
FO3 - Kids, Could you Lighten up a Little?
Redraw of a Simpsons gag. I don't post much FO3 but I couldn't resist this bit, I thought it fit my LW, Butch and Charon too well, hehe.
