[@nathanpopp2721]

That's a part of the issue that doesn't seem to be mentioned at all. It's not just that the movies aren't good. If it was only that, then why are the movies that are well received not making money? Movie tickets are outrageous compared to a decade ago and most of these flicks end up on VOD within a month or two. People who don't have the expendable income are going to go with the cheapest option. This is really a case of bad economics combined with bad business decisions, combined with an industry of creatives who aren't creative, led by people who don't like to take risks. As George Carlin said, "this is circling the drain time".

@@ShahulHaq Just saw demographic numbers that like 72% of Furiosa's audience was male, and it makes me wonder maybe these movies are shooting themselves in the foot by forgetting to pander to the actual people who show up and watch these movies (men). Maybe it even explained Fury Road's somewhat poor box office numbers despite being considered one of the greatest action movies of all time. I have no problem with the female leads in Fury Road/Furiosa, they are done well, but strong female characters are not bringing women to watch these movies. It's insane to me that Hollywood is somewhat forgetting and costing themselves billions in the process (Marvel and Star Wars do this x10 worse). John Wick knows its audience well and gets rewarded greatly.

Here's why movies are flopping... Why pay $18 per ticket times 2, per couple ($36), plus the price of simple refreshments ( maybe another $20) , so you are up to $56-60. Dealing with annoying people that don't realize they are in a cinema, not their living room, that talk and kick and have their lit phones on during a movie you paid good money for. Then that same movie is put ON DEMAND 4-5 weeks later for only $20 and you save money and don't have to put up with annoying jerks that do not respect the "movie going experience".

Furiosa was always meant to replace Max. It was very apparent back then in Fury Road and I said that too. She was not overpowered but still a girl boss who would displace Max and take over the franchise. What Miller did not notice is that even the people who like her character didn't care that much that they wanted to see a movie about her.

[@EbonyPope]

Did anyone notice that HUGE plothole? She runs away and Immortan Joe doesn't even ask where his most prized possession is????

So basically it's like when you eat the same thing over and over again to the point you just feel so distasteful to it

[@grandmastercadillac9052]

Here’s my take: George Miller conceived Fury Road and Furiosa in the mid to late 90s and has been trying to get them made since the early 2000s before the “girl boss” trope as we know it was even a thing and female led action movies were only just starting to be a thing. Fast forward to 2015 and the idea of a badass woman warrior character co-leading a genre action flick isn’t exactly groundbreaking but overall the character is well received. Fast forward again to 2024 and audiences are so “girl bossed” out that any movie with even a hint of the trope (ie a small woman with unchanging facial expression leading an action movie) repels a significant portion of them. Even if Furiosa is not a true girl boss the oversaturation of girl bosses in Hollywood today killed much of the hype for the movie.

[@Pneumanon]

@@animelover48348 On the contrary, Hollywood is obsessed with representation which is what you're talking about. Hollywood thinks they're correcting an imbalance by featuring more under-represented groups and giving us characters like the girl boss. They think they are giving more people a chance to see 'themselves' on screen, and that representation is one of the most important things to audiences. But as it turns out (and which everyone has always known) women just aren't anywhere near as interested in action movies as men are, regardless of who the main character is. It's like thinking that if more male characters are the protagonists of romance films, suddenly more men will want to watch them. It doesn't work like that. Women can be great action hero protagonists if done right, as the classic examples of Ripley and Sarah Connor prove.

Fine. I don't want to see a woman in the lead in an action film. Period. Contrary to whatever insane shit you've been told, women and men are not "equal" in every way shape and form. They are created differently and have different strengths and weaknesses in their character. They are NOT created to be competitive, but complimentary. When I see a male actor in an action film, he should exude masculinity; likewise, a women should be feminine. You can't choose to undermine the sexes roles since (literally) the creation of the species because you have a fetish for women badly pretending to be shoddy knock-offs of men.

I disagree, in this use case it's the name of the franchise. Again, what else would u call it? (Hmm, this just occurred to me- is the name of the universe actually 'Star Wars'? Otherwise what's the problem of calling it the 'Mad Max franchise'? Isn't it the 'Terminator franchise', not 'the franchise set in a future where Skynet takes over'?)

[@Chaotic42Kami]

@@jmazuryk The Wasteland of Mad Max predates the Fallout universe by at least a decade, but I was just pitching a random name. And most of the Fallout games have specific names for their little slice of the post-apocalypse. Fallout 3 had The Capital Wasteland, Fallout New Vegas had The Mojave Wasteland, Fallout 4 had The Commonwealth and Fallout 76 has Apalacchia. Don't really remember if Fallout 1 and 2 had a specific term for it, but it happens in California, so maybe... Anyways, my point was that the Mad Max franchise is (or rather should be) about the character of Max and whatever he is doing in the Wasteland. Unlike with Star Wars which does lend itself to many different stories and protagonists. It's like if I pitched a movie called "Mina: A Dracula Saga" about the character of Mina Murray (Jonathan Harker's fiancée and one of the main characters of the og Dracula novel) and ended the story before Jonathan even left for Transylvania. Sure, the movie and story might be good, but I'd still be using Dracula's fame to try and hook in an audience that otherwise wouldn't care about the movie.

Are they though? Makes me wonder. What if a cinema chain simply refused to play anything created by Disney? First prove to me it's not woke and then I ~might~ play it in two of my theaters per cinema. Instead lean on older movies people enjoy. Theaters have been playing Rocky Horror Picture Show for decades. It's not my cup of meat but people like it. Do like stores taking Bud Light off the shelves. If theaters stopped showing Disney movies then they couldn't even theoretically make money on new releases. This would permanently cripple Disney's ability to make movies. That's a good thing. Other studios would either take the hint or fall to the same fate. I believe cinemas, but especially cinema chains, could break the power of DEI. All that assuming they're not bought off and are part of the problem. In that case I really don't care if they go out of business. That means the problem of cinemas going bankrupt is self-correcting.

Let him bid farewell to the character in a gritty, brutal, low-budget film (just like the first two)... and have him die a GOOD death. Nothing as idiotic as my other heroes (Han Solo and Luke Skywalker) had to suffer, but something noble. The franchise deserves that. Hell, even have it that Furiosa is responsible for helping start the final recovery of civilization, but there's one last warlord out in the wasteland. Max is old. He's battered. He KNOWS he's not gonna survive a confrontation with the big bad - he'll probably WIN, but the effort IS going to kill him... and he does it anyway, saying "I've been living in the wastes too long to go back to civilization, kid - I know it.

The novelty of discovering a new world or new territory is conspicuously absent. George Miller's typical showing of religion and mythology in the wasteland is also absent. We're briefly reminded of Valhalla, but no new belief systems are shown. There is a part where they _tell_ you there's action (A LOT of action) but they don't actually show it. Because the movie is a prequel, you slready know everything that has to happen. She has to end up with Immortan Joe, she has to lose her arm at some point, the driver of the war rig has to die so she can become the new driver, etc. There are almost no surprises. She literally demands her childhood and dead mother back. It's like watching a toddler throw a tantrum. Mad Max toddler tantrum. What. The f**k.

I knew from the very beginning that Furiosa would survive. From the very beginning I understood that her lover would die. I knew from the beginning that Joe would win. I knew from the very beginning that Dementos would lose. I knew from the very beginning that Furiosa's revenge would be successful, and it was.
