Some movie reviewer was was pointing out that doing Shlock is actually really hard and the people doing it have to be fans of the thing being mocked to make it work or it just comes out as bad bad, and not fun bad.  It's like a Jackie Chan movie, when you think about it, a lot of what's in those movies really is absurd, but it's too much fun watching Chan and the people he works with do acrobatics and marital arts to care about.

 

And I will point out one little bit were the Devs utterly missed the boat on the schlock that should have been there; Babe Ruth. Fenwey Stadium is the home of the fucking Boston Red Sox, Bade Ruth's old team,  the Wasterlanders are practically worshiping baseball, yet not a peep about Babe Ruth, not even some shrine to St Babe in some corner. Instead the Devs got Moe Green babbling some weak ass shit about some Concord Team none one cares about,  when he should be ranting about the American League War between Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson like it was the most epic thing in Western History. how the New York Yankees caused the Great War just to win the 2077 World Series and The Yankees are behind the Institute, the Super Mutants, The Communists, the Raiders, New Nuka Cola and so on.  That's just not giving a shit.

Baseball is handled far too incidentally for sure, especially given the time period being satirized in the game. The DC Guards are far too nice for me, they could have been a micro-faction on their own, complete with some version of actually playing baseball in game (maybe you can hang on to the bat as use it as a weapon as you run the bases?).

I think they looked too friendly, a real letdown. They should have resembled the Baseball Furies from The Warriors  moreso, but then maybe folks would have complained about that if Bethesda did decide to go that way.
