You should sell the Daddy Loves You poster seen at 2:09 as merch, but with your face on it

[@WGasmss]

wasn't expecting you here xD love your vids.

[@sweettt321]

6:42 "and if you thought I presented too much non essential information just to get the whole imperator point across, hi, how you doing? You must be new here." Whether it's a new or old viewer, everyone loves it. You make all that extra information interesting and fun to listen to. It never feels like it's too much or unnecessary.

[@UnrelatedAntonym]

5:55 That warboy made me laugh in the theatre when he did that.

[@aba.aba.]

i love this series and I'm so upset furiosa isn't getting the recognition it deserves. thank you for this video !

[@UnrelatedAntonym]

26:26 So, Richtus, apparently, wears the doll heads to signify siblings that weren't born alive or survived long after birth.

5:27 - "Joe's people were convinced that they were waited in Valhalla. Convinced so much in fact that they like actually wanted to die, to the point where it was pointless and severely unnecessary. Like this guy who we see in Fury Road, the one who shouts 'witness me!'. This war boy leaps onto a buzzard with two Thunder sticks in hand, and then puts on a whole show. But he really just didn't have to do it, because Slit over here was able to blow up the Buzzard's vehicle with one Thunder stick thrown from the safety of his own car." I'm... not sure this quite gets to the nub of things. The main issue here is a slight misread of motivation; it's not that the War Boys just want to die... If that was the case, they have any number of opportunities to do so, they could've all leapt from the citadel in that scene in Furiosa, for example... but that they want to die *awesomely,* in combat, in a way that people can see and remember, for their people. For the guy from the clip, the implication was that he thought he was mortally wounded from the two bolts he just took... and, given the state of medical knowledge in the world, and that one of those had gone *straight through his head*, he was probably right... And so he was choosing to die taking out the enemies that were threatening his people rather than just bleed out on the rig or in the sand. That aside, you've said he didn't need to because Slit took down the buzzard with one stick himself, but... did he? That's not what we see in the film. Even from the still shot you showed (and i did rewatch the scene to check), the leaper's explosives are detonating while Slit's stick is still in his hand; Slit's attack was a supplement to the leaper's, not the other way around. There's absolutely no way to say with any confidence how much damage each of those explosives did or what would have been enough to take the Buzzard out... but I *can* say with certainty that, at very least, Slit's attack was hitting an already-damaged, possibly already-destroyed vehicle. (The specifics are hard for a lot of reason; it's unclear how damaging these explosives are, how well-armoured the buzzard was, where exactly everything hit, the attacks happened only frames apart, and the camera angle cuts multiple times right as everything happens). Absolutely valid point with the dynamite kid from Furiosa, though!

[@jonny11208]

Also I think Slit was always trying to steal glory. Like when Nux gets asked to go on Joe’s car Slit keeps yelling that he has the blood bag’s boot. I also think the dude is wrong that it’s implied that Max took Furiosa back to the citadel. My feeling was that they wanted to show that max was just in the area doing his thing at the time though I can’t remember much from the short comic.

[@StoneyBrownTV]

Auntie Entity is still my favorite Mad Max baddie. She's may not be as extreme as the others but she's still the only one who spared Max's life out of respect. Great video brother

[@brandonlordbaltimore5182]

At the end of Fury road. When they're presenting Joe's body to the war pups. There are a cluster of Doll head's melted into one of the I beams in the background. So yeah, those Doll heads must represent something in the greater lore.

[@EclecticBouquet]

First...I love your video! Second..."old man battle fodder"...ive watched this movie numerous times & I missed that line...how!?!?😂

[@nerd26373]

[@thomasbj8903]

[@Carver94]

Thanks Bryce, can’t wait to watch your breakdown 😊

[@Micpanda]

Yms was the one guy I saw giving credit to the child actor

[@WGasmss]

like i get it its hard sometimes to get assets but don't use Ai, i wanted to watch this video but when i saw Ai being used i left.. this is BS just grab random images of Julius Caesar. now I'm going to download the video feed it to an Ai and ask it to give a synopsis of this cause there's no point in watching it if you don't support human art.

[@JohnTucker-dc2du]

Do you know there is a new hunger games book coming out next year

[@user-ry7tq6bc8c]

Ok

[@shenanigansofmannanan]

M-pear-uh-tor .... not im-per-ray-tor ... pronounce it correctly ...

[@thomasbj8903]

hope u see my comment

[@Zaphod771]

I can "explain" Furiosa. Some writers say in a room trying to dream up a "girl power" storyline. Since they knew it wouldn't attract any views on merit, they took an existing character from the 1980s to shove into the movie title.

[@jonfreeman9682]

Well she's an amazing girl boss and this is girl boss done right. No Mary Sue, no force powers and she gets hurt and loses an arm even. Serious bad assery and movie deserves a sequel. But it seriously needs mad Max in it though.

[@jasperawakuni4726]

Damn no one watched this 😭

[@lucyrados7337]

It’s been up one day. What are you talking about
