Can a Mad Max film be made without Mad Max? Well going by the box office, no! But is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga that bad? George Miller ditches Max in his fifth outing to the dystopian Australian outback and sadly it disappoints. But who’s fault is that? Grab a drink so we can talk about the Non-Max Mad Max!

The more I think about it, The more I come to understand that this is the biggest problem with most shows these days. It never feels like there's anything at stake, or the stakes are too vague. Or worse, we don't trust the writers to make any of the hardships permanent. Consequently there's never any tension.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

@@sauros1 How many movies have you seen where even DEATH is just a minor inconvenience? Capt. Kirk dies and is resurrected a few minutes later via magical Khan blood in Star Trek Into Darkness. Yes, they CURED DEATH in the Star Trek reboot movies, but only use it that one time and then forget all about it. Optimus Prime dies and is resurrected within the same crappy Michael Bay Transformers movie. We had to wait six months for Optimus's resurrection in the 80s (not counting when he came back as an undead zombie, which was two months after he died in the movie).

[@HyraxusPrimus]

​@@KasumiKenshirouI agree with your overall point, but Star Trek is a bad example. Multiple times when people should've died, they can just "reload last save" with the transporter, swap bodies, get a time displaced duplicate replacement, etc. They did that all the time before the Kelvin movies. I also think Transformers is a bad example because they're robots.

[@DeadYorick]

A subtle aspect of the Mad Max films is that Max is more of a legendary character who has his stories told by different authors across time periods. So the reason you see contradictory aspects or characters who appear in different films with different identities is due to that. (IE: The helicopter pilot appears again in Mad Max 3 in a different role). You can also see it with how the post apocalypse goes from really toned down in the first film to "people in this world have never known anything else" in Fury Road. This is also why his car is destroyed in two different contexts in two different films. The Mad Max game from 2015 went all in on this theory with the helicopter pilot from 2 returning as a surrealistic character who asks cryptic questions like "how old are you" to the main character and he doesn't have an answer. His car is also destroyed in the game as well but is spontaneously returned to him. And he has a dog in the game but the context around it is also very different. The theory that the character is the feral child from MM2 has never made sense to me as at the start of Fury Road he says he was a police officer and he has flashbacks to his deceased wife/daughter. In this sense he's more of a post apocalyptic Robin Hood/King Arthur as opposed to a character who experiences a linear story. The Legend of Zelda was also designed around this idea of "A legend that is continuously retold by different authors".

[@DeadYorick]

@@cthulhucrews6602 Scabrous Scrotus the antagonist of the Mad Max 2015 video game also appears in Furiosa as well.

[@ioncewasmikey]

The game only features so many of Miller's ideas. He was actually co-creating the game for a time, but with the film going through production hell, Warner decided to take it from him & give it to Avalanche studios. Some of his ideas remained, but the game isn't fully canon. The Fury Road prequel comic (also co-created by Miller) attempts to connect the first 3 films to Fury Road, cementing it as the same Max in all 4 films. It's just that he only cares so much about continuity so the lines are somewhat blurred. Also, the flashbacks of the woman & child on Fury Road are not his family members, they're characters featured in the prequel comic. Max had a son, not a daughter, after all.

[@Victor-056]

This was what Fury Road got wrong at the end. They basically tried to turn Max into "A Face in the crowd" by having him slip into the Crowd at the end of Fury Road, rather than actually having Furiosa returning with _only_ the Body of Immortan Joe, and the five woman, and then have Furiosa be revealed to be the latest story teller of Mad Max's story, stating how he was one of the main reasons they managed to defeat Immortan Joe. This was the formula After-Mad Max, that Max's story, the _Road Warrior's Saga_ is told by those whom he helped before. A Prime example? The Road Warrior reveals that the Story teller was the _Wild Child_ with the metal Boomerang, and that he was telling the tale in his twilight years, having lead the tribe that Max helped once the Gyro Captain passed down the title of Cheftain to Him, and even says "He now exists only in my memories" at the very end. Even Thunderdome is a notable one. The Children he saved? They tell the tale of the Road Warrior within the sand-blasted emptheater of the Sydney Opera house, and state that they keep their lamps burning, not only for those weary souls in need of a home, but also in the hopes that _one day,_ the Road Warrior would eventually find his way to them, as the Children believe that he himself is a Lost Soul who helps others in need. Fury Road tries to change that, tries to take away the Legendary quality Max had, by making him a "Face in the Crowd".

[@princered10]

The feral kid theory is bullshit, it's been debunked. Fury Road is a soft reboot, even though the script and storyboard for it were originally made and intended for Mel Gibson's Mad Max 4. Due to development hell we never got Gibson's version (or the Heath Ledger version). Instead we got stuck with Tom Hardy's mediocre performance, albeit with modern SFX.

I don't know why more people don't have a problem with how bad the film itself looks... the CGI Soundstage combination REALLY doesn't work with the wasteland. The action is on-rails and lacks the chaos of Fury Road's practicals, ATJ is just bizarre to look at, the plot was just kinda there, it's more expensive than Fury Road, THERE'S NO MAX, etc, etc, etc.... What a disappointment of a film! Great vid as always though, Robot! Love the headcanon to include Fury Road with the originals too!

[@withlove312]

Fury Road grounded its "realism" in nuanced characterization, brevity, and material culture we could deduce meaning from. MM Furiosa's dialogue wastes a lot of time explains what you're seeing, whether it is actually relevant or not (and most of it is not because ideas are introduced and then dropped left and right). There's nothing tactile about this world, which takes the stakes out of the action. Where's the fight of the warlords we were promised? I'm not even sure what the climax of the movie is supposed to be.

[@OmegaPointZen]

Mad Max 2 will always be the best. Making Fury Road, and only having about 12 seconds of Max in the V8 made me hate the film.

[@ItsPouringStupid]

This movie was NOT needed.Furiosa's back story wasn't needed.This movie only ruined that mystery of Furiosa. THE PREQUEL WAS UNWANTED AND UNNEEDED TRASH.

[@KnarfMetmohn]

Before watching this I could live with the idea that this film has no Max in it. And I wasn’t concerned about seeing a Girlboss Movie. During the movie I was waiting for something exciting but nothing did happen. My biggest entertainment was Chris Hemsworth, the rest of the villains were boring, like the plot of the movie. My last hope was to see at least a great action movie with jaw dropping stunts. But the crappy CGI and overall effortless choreography also destroyed this for me. While Fury Road has some rewatchability to it, Furiosa has none. Not for the characters, not for the plot, even not for production value.

[@s.plissken_91]

It's not the feral kid in fury road, it's Max Rockatansky. Miller wanted to make fury road, and furiosa during the 80s as a sequel to Thunderdome. The idea just went through 20 plus years of production hell, and George Miller always contradicts his own films and ideas. The max we get in ANY of Miller's tales is the original, but the timeline is all over the place due to incompetent story telling. Similar to Ridley Scott and the Alien franchise

[@mercenaryknight5419]

Well Robot Head, hate to break it to you, but the Max in Fury Road is confirmed to be the Max we know. George Miller confirmed it in interviews and with the bridging comics.

[@awesomesawce400]

I think Furiosa was even worse than Beyond Thunderdome. The only redeeming quality was Chris Hemsworth actually trying. I was so used to him playing Thor for Marvel (very boringly) so I forgot that he was actually an excellent actor. Anya-Taylor was obviously miscast for this role. All the props felt like they were too clean for this wasteland, especially Jack's shining war rig. Same goes for Jack himself. Why was he like a good normal decent dude -- even more decent than Max, and make it so far? Very boring character. Also Gastown CGI looked horrible. The re-used props from Fury Road were infuriating and made the whole movie seemed like it was made because the studio said we need to milk more money from the hard work they had done for FR ten years ago. Max cameo was underwhelming at best. The narration and title cards sucked real bad. This movie completely forgot the 'show don't tell' principle, especially the ending. The one armed motorcycle ride was also ridiculous. Especially the up-hill part. The constant capture/escape cycle with Furiosa got old real fast. Way too many characters died in uninteresting, boring, meaningless ways. There was no power struggle visible within Dementus's gang although it was implied in the Gastown raid. Also, the new car designs were boring (something I could drew up in 2 hours) and due to the CGI they felt weightless. I swear to god - the 2015 video game had better feeling action that all this crap. Overall I would give this movie an 4/10. Decent action movie. Bad Mad Max movie and a fall from grace considering the previous entry. Such a shame Miller didn't quit while ahead.

[@lamaquinaludica9816]

I have enjoyed this movie. To be honest, I want more of the mad Max universe. It's not perfect but was more entertaining than most of the movies lately. I'd wish they use less CGI and keep the old obscure essence of the aesthetic

[@nightking0130]

I liked it a lot. The movie felt like it had a soul at least, an actual vision. Maybe some of the shortcomings with the action is just the fact that the production of fury road was hell and george did not want to go through that again hence not filming everything on location. I wonder how this film would have done if the lawsuit hadnt happened with the rights and covid hadnt happened after that. If it had came out in 2017 I think it would have had a bit more impact though not much since fury road didnt do well either. I guess mass audiences just dont like the mad max universe. Chris Hemsworth stole the show in this.

The Feral Kid grew up to be the leader of the Great Northern Tribe. (Queensland maybe?) The core of the GNT, would have been the people from Papagallo's refinery of course. Perhaps he hadn't reached that stage of his life (yet) in Fury Road. I dont intend to see this film, unless its on TV for free, and even then, likely wont be bothered. This actress who I have never heard of before this, looks weird to me. Like a ferret or a large skinny rodent. That eye liner (where do you source that in the wasteland?) really brings out a bug-eyed look in her which I cant help find off-putting.

[@DanielS2001]

Honestly, to me, Furiosa was okay as a one-off character for Fury Road, like the many others before her including, but not limited to, The Gyro Captain, Toecutter, Goose, Auntie Entity, amongst many others. But to me Furiosa didn't have enough pull to be interesting enough to warrant a stand-alone prequel for her. But that's just me. Also, for canon welding, Miller has said that Max isn't the Feral Kid though he likes that fan theory. There was a prequel comic released with Fury Road that showed that after the events of Beyond Thunderdome, Max began to rebuild the V8 Interceptor and that he actually got into another Thunderdome fight to try to win a V-8 engine for the the car. But, Miller has also explained that the films are folk legends from within the wasteland about a man named Max, who was formerly a cop, who drove the last V8 Interceptor (and seeing Fury Road is basically similar to the final act of The Road Warrior, it could be seen as someone else telling the same story of that event, but they got details different). So, Fury Road Max is still the same Max from the first three films, and this is just another legend told by another person within the wastelands. And the V8 Interceptor we see in the film isn't the original black-on-black, but a second one.

This is a rough one. I grew up with a love for Mad Max (to me The Road Warrior) on a deep level bonding my father and I as well as the wasteland, violence and mohawks. As soon as I was old enough to not give a crap what anyone thought, I gave myself a mohawk and have gone back and forth from normal haircut to mohawk my whole life. The month after my father died I broke out the clippers and buzzed it out again. The last movie he and I went to the theaters to see together was Fury Road. And my first memories of going to the theaters as a kid with Dad was Empire Strikes Back and Beyond Thunderdome. So now what to do? This isn't a Mad Max film. But it is in the wasteland where the ghost of Max lives. Even as a kid I knew Thunderdome was subpar to The Road Warrior but I had love for it. I mean Master Blaster was...insane!! And isn't that what a Mad Max film is about? Insanity? Blood and gasoline!! Robot, your thought of the new Max being the feral kid, even if it breaks things a little, I really love that idea. So torn. I don't like what they've done replacing Max with Furiosa but its still a Max film?? Fk it. It's gonna rain tomorrow anyway so I guess I'll go. Alone. But I think I'll buy two tickets.

[@LaurentiuBadea]

Mad Max and canon weren't getting along at all up until this movie. In fact, I think Furiosa is the first movie in the franchise to establish an actual continuity, and I don't mean it in a good or bad way, it's just an observation. There's also the Mad Max video game, which I wholeheartedly think of as part of the series, but he has a picture of his wife with a teenage daughter instead of his toddler son from the first movie.

[@Jay_Baumans_Stuntdouble]

Yeah but, the problem with that is that in the opening monologue he mentions being a cop, implying that he is the original Max.

[@ioncewasmikey]

Tom plays the same Max that Mel did. This information is out there. Miller helped develop a Fury Road prequel comic that attempts to tie the previous movies to Fury Road. Also, Mel would have originally come back had the film gone into production in 1999-2000 like initially planned. The issue is it got stuck in production hell for years & Mel personally felt he was getting close to too old for the role back in 1999. He would have played an older Max in Fury Road than Tom portrayed, but when that was no longer an option, the decision was made to ignore a bit of continuity & recast younger. George Miller only cares about continuity up to a point, but I think his storytelling focuses more on broad strokes in a lot of ways.

[@ioncewasmikey]

​@LaurentiuBadea The game was originally being co-created by Miller, but things went sideways with Warner Bros multiple times with Fury Road, and eventually they decided to take the reins away from him & hand it over to Avalanche Studios. So a lot of elements from the Fury Road prequel comic (also developed with Miller) remain in the game while not 100% following the story of the films. There is still some connective tissue in the game, like Scrotus- he was a Miller creation. He even shows up in Furiosa.

I won't bother with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga until it streams free on one of my subscriptions. I look at the older Miller the same way I look at the older Scott, just padding the resumes and cashing in on their franchises.

[@Magneticitist]

It was great to me aside from small details that made no sense. Just like in the end of the last movie when Furiosa finds out the green place doesn't exist anymore and it's just a small group of old ladies still surviving. How did those old ladies survive out in the middle of nowhere with no water or food? It makes no sense. In the same way, the green place never made sense to begin with. On top of that, their warriors were literally small women. It was a fantasy idea from the start. Amazonians live in the Amazon, not the desert wasteland.

Anya Taylor-Joy is 5'7", 115 pounds, and was 27 when Furiosa filmed. Charlize Theron is 5'10", 130 pounds, and was 40 when Fury Road filmed. This is like when they tried to pretend Emilia Clarke had the same muscle mass as Linda Hamilton. It just ain't gonna work.

[@TheFly212]

Charlize was fucking 40 when it came out????.... God damn she looked amazing. Holy shit. Charlize Theron is so fucking hot. Remember Aeox Flux or whatever, FINE AS FUCK. F I N E.

[@mooshoopork63]

I paid to go see it. I enjoyed it for what it was, an action movie. Did we need another prequel? No. I knew everything that would happen to her because I saw Fury Road, but I was not bored for the 2.5 hours. I also liked learning how Furiosa lost her arm, which was way cooler than how Nick Fury lost his eye. As far as it not fitting into the Mad Max saga, it doesn't bother me. It's George Miller's story and he can do what he wants. The only thing that bothered me was how Chis Hemsworth looked like Mike Myers as the Love Guru. Also, did the actor playing Pretorian Jack look like Stacy Keach? I know it wasn't, but it could've been his doppelganger.

"LOOK AT HER EYES!!!" The Movie 🎬

[@PKaye-ru2ks]

Saw it this week with my wife - it's actually a really good film and (like Fury Road) Furiosa isn't some infallible super-being. Weird choice to have a Max stand-in popping up halfway through, but the actor's performance was good and didn't take away from the film. It'll be a shame if it flops.

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

It's already a flop.

[@Mr.MikeBarksdale]

Protect this robot at all costs. All of woke Australia will be calling him a traitor to his people for daring to speak the truth. A protocol robot, he is clearly not.

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

Furiosa is exactly what I wanted; more of the 2015 Fury Road format. George Miller depicts such distinct cinematography in Australia with Mad Max. The epic nature of the franchise is worth exploring with detailed world-building. The various factions, locations like the blue-tinted, stilt trodden remnants of the ‘Green Place’, Bullet Town and the Citadel fortress with its greenhouse, encased in that yellowish orange color palette and its intricately designed mechanical ‘steampunk’ technology. Fury Road's an action movie at heart, while Furiosa sinks its teeth into the world with storytelling (albeit still having tons of action). The studios shouldn't have delayed this by a decade. Hopefully George Miller gets another crack at it!

[@reese8097]

"Looks Nice"

[@DannyKnightblade45]

Thank you! Too many anti sjws are embarrassing themselves by talking down on a great movie that should not have bombed in theaters.

[@randomchannel323]

I thought the movie was good it just felt too short though. I was expecting a big final battle and we didn't get one just a montage. And I felt the "revenge for parents death" motivation was really shallow and the film leaned too much into girl power cliches without doing anything interesting with that cliche

[@basically435gf]

Great video Robot Head and I like the idea of the Feral kid being the Max we saw in Fury Road. However,we see his family get killed in a flashback,are we to believe not only did he take the original Max’s name and build his own version of his car,but he just HAPPENED to have the same tragic backstory?😉

[@SwordSlinger1611]

I never heard the feral kid take on fury road before! Yes now I can enjoy fury road. All in all though they'll never top The Road Warrior. Furiosa is like Thunderdome to me. I know it exists, I just choose to ignore it.

[@XX-121]

i refuse to watch a mad max movie with no mad max. that's like going to see a james bond movie with no james bond. plus anya taylor- joy's not even hot anymore now that she got all that plastic surgery done

[@killerkendro]

Oh you know that’s coming

[@ArtCarter-fr4qo]

My head canon always had the Ferrell kid as Max in Fury Road.

[@alvinsimonthedoersavil]

When mad max was a full Aussie movie though times

[@sryan9547]

This was actually a pretty good movie. I am sorry it wasn't successful because I would like to see more like it.

[@kahnlives]

Not going to lie, this could have been great…but! 🤔

[@DarkWatcher149]

Great analysis!! About Feral Kid Max, George Miller said in an interview that the theory is very good, but Max from Fury Road is not Feral Kid.

[@MushroomFleet]

i thought it was good, let George Miller cook and we get a mad max movie like this next, it's his fury road trilogy. He wants Tom Hardy back too

[@ioncewasmikey]

Yes!

[@DannyKnightblade45]

I would love to see Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron return for another adventure in the Mad Max universe.

[@RASK1904]

So many cool old movies I can watch. America 3000. Class of 1999. Damnation Alley.

[@cmcb7230]

I grew up with the three originals, absolutely love them. Saw fury road, wasn’t impressed, therefore I have zero desire to see this new one.

[@infidelcrusader2698]

Feral Kid Max is a genius idea! It would make so much sense! I love it!

[@Mizelei2012]

Lots of mixed feeling on this. I loved the series but it rubs me the wrong way that they gleefully said "Mad Max doesn’t need Max anymore". My name is also Max so it's especially eggregious to me.

[@ioncewasmikey]

Miller never said that. Nobody said that. The fact is, he planned on making this movie & another Max movie for years leading up to & following Fury Road's release. This isn't some product of woke ideology, it was a grand vision that may never be fully realized due to everyone crapping on a movie they refuse to see due to their own skewed ideological viewpoints.

[@Mizelei2012]

@@ioncewasmikey True, but there was a journalist who wrote it. And if George Miller wanted to have his grand vision realized he should have done it with Tom Hardy.

[@ioncewasmikey]

@@Mizelei2012 that's the point- he'd planned on making Furiosa & another Max movie that would both tie into Fury Road. For whatever reason he decided to do Furiosa first, probably because Max already has 3 films of his own. But apparently Tom Hardy wasn't easy to work with during Fury Road, but I'd hope he'd come back for it too. It was his stunt double from FR that plays him in the small cameo on Furiosa, so I guess they were at least trying to make it look like the same Max.

[@deadschooled]

In just 8 years they’ve set women in film back 30+ years 😂 Ain’t nobody having it. Enjoy your flop, Hollywood

I definitely enjoyed this follow up to *FURY ROAD* and it has value and reached *REPEAT VIEWING STATUS*

It could have worked when Fury Road was still new. But now it's been so long that a normal Mad Max was expected

George Miller. He directed all the mad max movies, and wrote them, and made the Furiosa movie, too.

[@colinjacobs176]

As an Aussie I can only say: Aww. what a shame, I want this to be good. I can't remember the last positive review from Robot Head, but when one comes out, boy the film will be a doozy and I'll be straight off to the movies.

[@ioncewasmikey]

It is good. Go see it & decide for yourself.

[@snakesonthismondaytofriday1750]

Its very good lol

[@ethio6308]

I enjoyed the movie. Watched it without expectations or any marketing exposure and it was unexpectedly good. If you watch it without prejudice or clinging onto the "Mad Max" tag like many seem to, it is a great movie on it's own. Let them tell the story and hope for more to come.

[@YourfriendNextDoor2]

[@deepakkumar99933]

A cinematic masterpiece that has left me speechless! The time and patience one has to dedicate their life, in making a lifetime work, coupled with an unquenchable thirst to provide sheer awe and cinematic brilliance technically and emotionally, stands out at every single minute throughout the movie. Apocalyptic genres are quite easy to enact, since they require an astute understanding of how humans operate on baseline consciousness. George Miller did a fantastic job at delivering this exact sentiment. I am overall pleased with the aesthetic cinematic treatment compared to its predecessor for continuity and not overdoing with CG. Dramatic pacing and character introduction is given justice with sufficient screen time to develop their story arcs and finale plot. The wasteland is merciless and spares nobody. Flawless execution 10/10.

[@corporalpunishment1133]

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a XB hardtop now let alone in some post apocalyptic future?

The next 1 will be called The Final Truck Chase a Mad Max Conclusion.

[@knightrider585]

Like Star Wars, a solid two and a half films. Would love if someone one day made a new film with the original characters and actors, but sadly that will never happen for either franchise.

I waited decadez for mad max and got fury road. Good action and practical effects. I was ok with it. The intersex feminism and subversion of main character was tolerable. I waited a decade for a MAD MAX movie. Got a Furiosa prequel where 40 min of it shes a CHILD and way more cgi used, WITH NO MAD MAX! fk off film
