Kishka thats the point... Max is as soulless as ever by this film and makes sense that it would be boring to portray a quiet character for a full length film.

[@HenkkaArtGames]

The original trilogy has, at least to me, a totally different atmosphere to it. Sure, there are some really weird characters like Lord Humungus and Tina Turner but overall the world of the wasteland is just the regular world gone to shit. And especially in Mad Max and The Road Warrior it still feels like it all happens in the real world. Fury Road has this magical, fantastical aspect to it. Everything is exaggerated to the max, from the cars to the characters and the Citadel. It's like the film makes the world, and especially the desert seem like this mythical place, an otherworld or something whereas the OG Mad Max it was just Australian outback. And who built the Citadel anyway? That water drain system requires some pretty decent engineering and the switches looked brand new, too. Also, when Furiosa says they can drive 160 days to "that direction", what it really means is that they would have circled the earth about five times if they rode about 60 mph and didn't run out of gas. I found that funny. Also, I don't know how they can drive that long without refueling.

[@holo7070]

HenkkaArt That makes perfect sense

[@chesterstevens8870]

HenkkaArt There's actually a bit of backstory involved in Immortan Joe and the Citadel. Before the Great War He and the Bullet Farmer were soldiers, and at some point they found a survivor who told them about a massive aquifer/ water treatment plant. Looking their resources Joe and his crew rolled deep and took over the Citadel, and from their established a power base to contruct Gastown and the Bullet Farm. The three Warlords were those positioned to share power and rule the wasteland with an iron fist.

[@HenkkaArtGames]

Devin Mcclanahan But the backstory is in some other form of media? A comic book? A website? When discussing film, secondary forms of media shouldn't be needed to understand and/or criticize a film, its plot, characters and production quality. Unless they hand out the comic book or whatever to you when you go to the theater and let you read it before the movie begins. And even then, it is a testament to poor storytelling.

[@chesterstevens8870]

HenkkaArt The vague, visuallt-driven form ofnstorytelling is there to grip the audience and make them want more.

***** Spoon-feeding? Explaining ridiculous things to make them make sense in the movie's world isn't spoon-feeding.

Or how can Legolas see so far?

[@deustitties3589]

If this was Miller's plan all along, I applaud him. I mean, the film itself pointed out that the green lands, when controlled by women, withered and died, became the swamp wasteland. Now they come in to Immortan Joe's green pillars, let's the aqua reserves flow with extreme distaste for saving it and let's the low population up the pillars moments after they tear Joe's body apart like wild animals.

There's a defense for Max's diminished role in Fury Road that always makes me roll my eyes. People always bring up "well, it's always been Max wandering into someone else's story! Guess YOU'RE not the true fan after all huh?!" That's true...for 2 and 3. And even in those films, it's told almost entirely from Max's viewpoint. It's not his story, per se, but he IS the main character, in the same way The Man with No Name is the protagonist of the Dollars Trilogy. And in those two movies, Max isn't the narrator. He's this almost mythic figure that the narrator is reminiscing about. The fact that HE is the narrator in Fury Road is the final confirmation that Furiosa has taken his place as the focal protagonist. And I'm saying this all as someone who really enjoyed Fury Road, even if I did internally groan at a few of the more hamfisted moments. As much as I enjoyed the film (and think it made up for how batshit stupid Thunderdome was), I despise it when people try to defend it with disingenuous arguments.

honestly, the story of the mad max game should have been the story of this one. Max loses famous car, finds crazy deformed person, they work together to build the penultimate car for max to be selfish and drive through the great beyond (essentially drive so far from everyone else that by the time he runs out of resources he dies). Through max's quest with Quasimodo he learns to give a shit about other people, saves a sex slave and her kid, they die anyway from bad guy, max sacrifices everything to take vengeance on bad guy proving that he is still ultimately acting through selfishness and his own need to have a reason to cause destruction. Honestly, I don't know how the game writers were able to write such a better mad max sequel.

[@nathanjora7627]

David Elliott it’s wrong and you’re very bad at understanding this. I don’t know if this person’s understanding of the game corresponds to what happens in it, but he makes pretty clear in his description that the reason why he says Mad Max is still selfish is because he is still using whatever he can to destroy things. And... vengeance isn’t necessarily motivated by selflessness, far from it. There actually quite a bit of stories revolving around selfish revenge, where the main character or the villain uses the death of someone else, or someone else’s loss, to justify their personal bloodlust, despite either not suffering that loss personally and being told it doesn’t matter/justify their actions, or not being the one that should be affected by the death in the first place.

[@MegaBlair007]

@The Real Starlord jesus chill tf out. He said max sacrificies everything because he quite literally loses everything he had hopes for. However, his actions afterwards are still selfish (like not having a problem with killing chumbucket as long as he got his revenge, or forgetting about everything and speeding off in his interceptor relieved of leaving). Only in fury road he gets a sense of selflessness.

[@adulescentuluscarnifex8412]

+@authorization batman it's been a year since you posted this comment and it really itches my creative bone in all the wrong ways. If from what you got from the story is that it's jabbing at men and saying that they're all selfish pigs then you're absolutely insane. The whole point of the story is that deep down Max is a selfish man. His actions of avenging the girls are noble, but it's selfish in that he is willing to (and does) destroy everything around him to get what he wants. In the end he has a deathwish. Hell dying is what his original goal was. And even after the death of the girls that still is his goal when he wreaks destruction on everything and everyone in his way regardless if they had anything to do with him. Max is a very flawed man. He has no purpose in life other than to wander the wastes until he dies, and will selfishly hold onto whatever purpose is given to him even if it means hurting those around him who didn't deserve it.

Kinda interesting to me how E;R predicted the "Replace the male lead with a stronger female character trend". That's become popular recently. Some examples being, The recent HE-Man series, which is all about the woman, the Obi-wan tv series, the recent Thor movie. And the Loki tv series, all of which are named after a male character, but star female leads instead. Very interesting.

[@bish0p2004]

You're exactly right. I watched a breakdown of this (no longer new) trope in another video a week ago. Basically, they are using all of these once popular male characters to "pass the torch" to female characters (or just non-white characters)...elevating them above men. You rarely see a movie about a "father figure" and boy/son anymore. It's always a father and daughter now. Disney is especially guilty of this. It's all propaganda.

Max has never been a really fleshed out character in any of the films. He used to be a highway patrol cop and who loved the thrill of a the hunt/car chase. Then the world starts ending, crime is going up, plenty of work for him, and he's concerned that he's enjoying it. His only anchor to decency is the remaining police force and his family. But the police can't handle an apocalypse, dwindling numbers on their side, growing numbers of gangs, ineptitude, corruption, which leads to a gang killing Max's wife and child. Max snaps, goes on a rampage, gets his revenge, but then doesn't have anything to go back to afterward. So, it's presumed he just drives off into the outback for self-imposed exile and penance, acting as a knight errant, helping people when he can, but never feeling like he can settle down or get attached to anyone ever again, for fear that he'll be too weak or too slow and end up losing another family. That actually sounds like a pretty okay character now that I write this out. I guess the larger problem that he kinda gets played as, "I lost my family and I'm sad, but also mad =("

[@esemicolonr]

The way you put it, Max sounds fucking awesome. Until he seems to hit a plateau with his fear of attachment and becomes an entirely static character. I'd forgive that--maybe even prefer it--if Max were still the one driving the story. Don't know how it is in the other films, but he sure ain't here.

[@ItsSomeDeadGuy]

Max has been exactly like this in all films except the first one. In Road Warrior, Thunderdome, and now Fury Road, he's the guy who gets drawn up into the plights of other people at the expense of himself. It's implied that he's helping them in order to retain the last bit of his humanity. He's never the driving force because his altruism gets in the way. You're criticizing the film for not being enough about Max while not having seen the previous films? Come on. I get this concept not being something you enjoy, but don't cry false advertising.

You say that (and I can only assume you didn't watch the video, or else you're conveniently sidestepping my disclaimer that I would only be discussing Feels Road as a standalone), but what I'm getting out of your comment is that all but the first film is a clusterfuck of false advertising.

Where do they get oil for all those engines? And where do they get all the parts they need for all those cars and trucks and big rigs? There's no way they're still machining those parts, drilling for oil, let alone refining it into fuel. And what about the tires, how many tires must they go through?

" There's an emphasis on vehicles in the films but there's never actually that many in the grand scheme of things. Hell, a lot of these trucks are just a bunch of smaller cars cobbled together. Also, in this apocalypse, people act on their base instincts to survive but really no one even fucking cares. The MM world is what it is because it's run by adrenaline junkie nihilists.

Thats around 16 m/s which is 17 times slower than the airplane. This means that it would theoretically take 221 hours which is basically 9 days to make the trip from Shanghai to San Francisco on bikes across salt flats. Of course the ocean bed is not completely flat and there will most definitely be many natural barriers and they will not be driving 24/7 so you could double it and add a bit more days but as it is, fuel for 120+ days or how many she said?

The idiots who made it didn't even realise that stunt drivers and riders don't have to go over 100mph to LOOK like they're going over 100mph on film because - the wonders of cinematography! So they really did go over 100mph (and one or two killed themselves). It made for a unique look during the chases.

Personally I think the realism adds that much more to the original. No film has ever had car chases that are half as gripping. Most people apparently cant but I can tell when a movie car chase isnt actually happening at the implied speeds.

[@esemicolonr]

Gonna cannibalize a few of my older comments responding to a popular concern and stick it here. The concern: "Of course Max lets Furiosa and the girls back into the rig. He needs Furiosa to disengage the kill switch and he can't just hope Immortan Joe spares him. Why do you assume Max is being irrational?" My reasoning: Why doesn't Max kick them out AFTER Furiosa deactivated the kill switch? Max had both the rig and the weapons. He had the power to _not_ share a tiny compartment with a bunch of people who wanted to murder him. Now, this issue could've been easily resolved if Max had been unable to take away Furiosa's hidden gun so that when it's pulled on him, he's forced to hold at least one of the girls hostage to save his own skin. Then the scene could play out as it basically already did. But the way it's portrayed, it looks like Max chooses one of the least favorable options almost immediately and doesn't care about the consequences. -Also, while I don't know a lot about kill switches, I do know that one with a timed delay needs a timer. That would normally require an on-board computer system. I highly doubt the war rig's fitted with a computer of any kind (not one that still works, at least), so it's similarly unlikely that Furiosa could achieve anything but a fail-safe that prevents the engine starting at all. But hey, cars are almost never portrayed realistically, especially not in this movie, so it seemed too nit-picky to go after.- EDIT: All this kill switch talk fucked me up a bit. The switches probably kept the fuel pump(s) from starting, which is simpler and fits way better with what happens on-screen. Next point still stands, however. I believe what the movie was going for were analog circuit switches, which would indeed require something at least resembling a sequence. This'd require manually resetting the switches, though, but we're not shown that Furisoa puts (some of) the switches back to their starting positions. Furthermore, when she tells Max the sequence, it's confusing because this means either a) she'd be rigging the vehicle again only to have him undo it, meaning she's giving him information she doesn't need to (the information that persuaded Max to not abandon them), or b) the kill switch rearms itself somehow, which I think is asking too much to accept. I didn't elaborate on any of this in the video and I regret that. Oh, and: Concern: "Max is not the main character in 2 and 3." Response: Then fuck 2 and 3.

Destroyed. As in blown to shreds.) he joins them, not for their sake, but simply to kill the shitheads who shot his dog, as he descovers that revenge is an excellent motive to continue living. After he kills the gang, he wanders back into the wastes, searching once more.

[@jackabsolute5525]

Alias Anybody The antibody is only pertinent to the recipient, while the antigen is pertinent to the donor. A type A individual has anti-B and can therefore receive type A blood which does not have the B antigen, and O blood because O has neither the A antigen nor the B antigen. Type B can receive from B and O. Type O can only receive from O because it has both anti A and B while type AB can receive from A, B, AB, and O because it does not have any antibodies.

I feel like a badass action Putt-Putt movie would have been a better choice over remaking Mad Max. I mean, get Jackie Earle Haley to voice Putt-Putt so we all get it's very dark and serious, Pep will basically serve as the dog from I Am Legend. Cartown is a barren fucking wasteland. We see Putt-Putt monologue about corruption and greed and the value of fuel as he watches cars die, then kills other cars and sucks the fuel out of them so he can complete his mission to save Cartown from the oppressive dictatorship of Mr. Firebird. At the end of the movie, he realises Mr. Firebird's plan all along was to turn Putt-Putt into a ruthless killing machine. We have a scene where Putt-Putt thinks back to all the poor cars he murdered. And then, once he's shaken with grief, and screaming at Mr. Firebird to just kill him already, since he doesn't want to live with the guilt of ending the lives of Redline Rick, Outback Al, all of his closest friends, the biggest plot twist of them all hits him. "I *made* you, Putt-Putt. I am your father." Cue dramatic "NOOOOOO," and Putt-Putt murdering Mr. Firebird. In the end, once Cartown is dead and gone, and after Pep died in the carnage leading up to his confrontation with Mr. Firebird, Putt-Putt drives on through the desert, and the film ends with his gas tank running empty. The credits play silently as we see the silhouette of Putt-Putt's lifeless body.

I agree with the final comments on the film, MM:FR is a disguised social commentary. Immortal Joe did nothing wrong other than be the responsible and reliable character throughout the film and Max was a lap dog to Furiosa's idiocy and deconstructionism. The ending is not happy; Max knew he had destroyed a civilization and fled because he had no future. Regardless of the authors intent, Bioshock Infinite did something very similar. Every time Dewitt and Elizabeth traveled through a rift, Dewitt would have to deal with a change in Elizabeth's rational and egoism. At the very end, the multiverse thing is nothing more than a deconstructionist ploy to exfoliate that Dewitt did nothing to help Elizabeth, that she couldn't have done herself, except help her completely destroy her rational and character. Both characters are pointless to the plot. Regardless of the author's intent, the story was about how men should only help with the destruction of rational thought and civilization, and then promptly leave. The funny thing is I enjoyed both MM:FR and Infinite, I feel like I am connecting dots that the author either cleverly disguised as idiocy or never intended.

blahbbity Blohpitty oh okay thanks :P I thin I've only seen the 1st mad max besides this one (I was kinda tiny) so I didn't kow of that mechanism. In relation to my other point, do you think E;R is missing that fact and judging Max for a stupid choice OR he knows that Max can't operate the vehicle on his own anyway and criticizes the narrative choice in the script ?

[@Beardedprof]

if he had seen the other movies, he would have seen and known this mechanic as a reference. Also..ive never seen this dudes videos up until this, and when he said hes never seen the originals, then proceded to give them shit...yeah i kinda tuned most of the shit out. I still listened to his points and it seemed like it was coming from someone who went in with "oh god another movie where they pander to women being better cuz men" or any other negative mindset...so of course these are the things he'll see in the movie.

[@cocaloca5402]

dunno about that, even though I really enjoy this movie , and have watched it multiple times, he does raise some valid points, that could have been avoided with a bit more explanation here and there as far as the movie is concerned

[@lazypoo6117]

I maintain that warlords like Immortan Joe and Negan are the long-term good guys in any post apocalypse, and a story that bothered to address that would be the best post apocalyptic fiction to date. These people represent stability as well as brutality, and their organization is the best chance the world has of getting back to normal. The story is complete bunk, but it looks nice, and lots of well-regarded films get by on looks and action sequences, so I think it's alright.

[@Faint366]

It's like these idiots forget that every civilization in human history was originally founded by warlords.

[@nathanjora7627]

El Carlos they were never the ones to fuck everything up though. Quite the contrary in fact, they were always the guys managing to patch things up once they went to hell, or to fend off the bad things for the longest time.

[@nathanjora7627]

Ace Ambling every EARLY civilizations, and not just by warlords either, but also people that had interests in writing fair laws, and making sure everyone got what they deserved. I mean, the US weren’t founded by warlords, they were founded by soldiers, governors, writers, advocates, merchants. The same goes for Australia (though it wasn’t as prestigious it wasn’t warlords either), and a lot of civilizations in fact. Not that warlords didn’t have a role to play in any of this, but it’s not their ability to wage wars that built their civilizations, it was their ability not to, by writing fair laws, creating efficient bureaucracies and taxation systems, etc.

[@nathanjora7627]

Lazy Poo the best chance the world has of getting back to normal ? You’re telling me that Negan was a better chance at getting the world back to normal than people who actually tried and managed to recreate and rebuild societies based on the principles of the world they lost ? You’re telling me the man that enforces disproportionate and tyrannical taxation through war is a better shot at recreating the US than people who trade for the goods they need in exchange of goods other needs, exchange intel, and try to have fair processes ? Brutality ain’t a great way to create stable societies, because stable and orderly societies rely on the predictability of the governed and the government. If the government is tyrannical, chaos is bound to appear at some point. A society were dissent leads either to your death/torture, or that of your chief, can’t be, wasn’t, isn’t, and will never be more stable or orderly than a society where you can actually process these things peacefully.

This review has aged like fine wine.

[@JegJurel]

You realise that Max doesn't stop the war rig because he "Feels bad" but because the truck has a killswitch that only Furiosa knows, right? He didn't want to stop the truck, it just did. This is established in the movie. Were you watching this shit and paying any attention at all?

[@cptvonshtabbin9829]

Why focus on that when we can focus on how bad women and jews are and make weeb jokes.

[@JegJurel]

well they are, but if he's gonna make a point about a misstep of the movie, he might as well try and be fucking accurate.

[@CallyMayz]

Build up that strawman and knock it down! He doesn't say Max stopped the war rig because he felt bad. He questions why Max thinks that helping the girls that don't like him is suddenly a good idea. It's detrimental to his survival compared to something like, capturing them and giving them to Joe in return for freedom/good status in Joe's weird cult shit. Forcing the information of fixing the war rig out of them. Or literally anything other than going along with the people being chased that want to kill him.

[@nignig5703]

JegJurel all E;R said is that bringing the girls on the truck is bad for survival. There were tons a few other options Max could of taken that would make much more sense.

[@johntitor3860]

The iconic car was destroyed right at the start ? just like how the new Star Wars destroyed the old one in general and specifically killed off or disrespected Luke and Han Solo ? its almost as if there is a hidden meaning behind most of what we are presented as 'popular' media.

[@megashark1013]

Or maybe it's because it's a running joke in the Mad Max films that the car hardly ever has any big role? It's barely in the first or third film, with it only appearing a lot in the second. But of course, you don't know what you're talking about.

While this film was good fun, I did hate how the movie was just a blatant progressive fantasy where an evil patriarchy is torn down by a bunch of righteous women... *eye roll*

[@marlutteyestrelt3441]

I would had loved if they show a bit more of the human side of Inmortan Joe (why is InmortaNNNN and not inmortal, the fuck? ). Hearing your analysis on his "evil ways" was pretty interesting. He is just doing what humans in a desperate situation would do. Go for the win. He manages to gain a cult of followers, and he just wants a healthy son to be the heir to his domain. That's... Pretty dramatic. A sicken warlord that had two deformed children and has a last chance of having that one good son to look over the land when he parts away... That scene till the end, where Joe's legion is just chilling in a hill, and he is somewhat praying. THE DEFORMED EVIL FAT WARLORD IS PRAYING! That's cool subtle character info. Sadly, he decayed into a expendable evil forced, killed brutally. Seriously, I want to know more about him.

[@knight_lautrec_of_carim]

"why is InmortaNNNN and not inmortal, the fuck?" Same reason why they call them wierd fictional slurs: It's however many years in the future, language evolved and it's actually good world building. It's how kids today run around saying "fr fr no cap based cringe foodcel" but Miller doesn't explicitly explain these things out, he just thrusts the audience into the world he created. That's only the dialogue, the acutal set pieces and probs have so much more world building hidden in plain sight.

[@vanillabatcave5677]

The Inmortann thing actually makes sense, with how far in the future the movie is and how the prospects of education are, uh, less than ideal to say the least (I doubt that any of these people have english classes on tuesdays or ever went to school at all) it comes across as a natural speech corruption that would happen in this particular scenario

Furiosa actually did plan the escape with them in the comics. But sure your point that the movie doesn't do a satisfying job at bridging this gap in the plot still stands, it's just that the comics really supplement it well. Also goes for the backstory on Max and Joe right before the movie starts.
