The pure concentration of Weird Little Guys (affectionate) and Absolute Freaks (affectionate AND derogatory) in FURIOSA is just absolutely unparalleled. I understand some people come to this franchise for vehicular action, but my primary motivation is for the purest, most unfiltered desert weirdos put to screen, and my God am I nourished.

From what I've heard, FURIOSA sounds a bit like the BEYOND THUNDERDOME (stylistically weird, wanders, concerned with different Enclaves of Funky Guys across the wasteland, plays with post-apocalyptic language and culture moreso than its predecessor, wasteland economy is pretty important to the events???) relative to FURY ROAD's straightforward, short, intense timeline a la ROAD WARRIOR.
Fortunately I love THUNDERDOME, and it's a bummer I won't be able to make it to a theater for another week and a half.

fury road really said "you have to stop trying to go back to the past you idealized because it's gone, and it probably wasn't perfect in the first place, and what you build in the future won't be perfect either, but it will be worth it anyway because you build it with compassion" and i've never been the same since

Wide awake because I can't stop thinking about how Furiosa saved Max from falling by catching him with her prosthetic arm, and because of the weight and her wound, she would have dropped him were the arm not a prosthesis strapped to her torso. And she didn't grab him by the leg, she caught him by the leg brace around his left knee, and the hold likely wouldn't have worked if not for the brace; later, Max saves her life.
The two most badass characters in what has been lauded as "one of the greatest action films ever made" only survive because of their mutual disabilities.
THE KNIFE HOLDS THE PROSTHETIC IN PLACE, OH MY GOD
Aka someone FINALLY reacting to Cheedo with sympathy and nuance
This is the most rewatchable movie. Every. Single. Part. SLAPS.
God this really wants to make me read fic about the Vuvalini, the Mothers, Ace and the war pups, Max, Furiosa, the Five, it's so rich!!

Started folding clothes while listening to this, then I had to stop and give it my full attention. This might be THE Mad Max video essay. We hit the Wizard of Oz, mythmaking, the role empowering women has on climate change and social stability, everything.
I never get tired of people losing it over Fury Road

Treason, betrayal, an Imperator gone rogue. She took a lot of stuff from Immortan Joe. Breeders! His prize breeders. He wants them back. Not a hand laid on ‘em.
