So, the original Mad Max and Road Warrior are two of my favorite films of all time and I'm a huge fan of the character in general, but I've yet to see Fury Road after the initial consensus that it was shilling feminist bullshit. Time has passed, what do we think now? Should I watch it or is it still considered tumblr-tier garbage?

I greatly enjoyed it. The action was fine and i wouldn't call the story worse than Thunderdome. It's a Mad Max Movie alright.

/pol/ just flips the fuck out because muh feminism, but i didn't have a problem with it in this case.


 No.281060

No, a movie where a pregnant woman gets run over with a monster truck is not a feminist movie. Good thing, too, because the final product was pretty great. Watch Fury Road on the biggest TV you can find.

Feminists are so retarded and shallow that their only criteria for an article of media being feminist is if it has a woman in a leading role. That's it. The only thing those commie dumbfucks care about.

I loved Mad Max, and Road Warrior. I can sit down any night of the week and watch them. I have never gotten the urge to watch Fury Road after the initial viewing.

Mad Max takes a back seat in his own movie, it's more like he's just along for the ride. The action felt bloodless and underwhelming. Aside from a couple meme-worthy scenes (WITNESS ME, SHINY AND CHROME), it wasn't really that grand of a movie.

I know there's a lot of crazy shit in the Mad Max universe but this guitar dude is just over the top for me. In no way could that serve any possible purpose in story, character, vehicle, or any other reason.

He reminds me of only one other character that is so beyond unrealistic it strain's credibility - the Fat Man in Swan Song, a book by Robert Mccammon.

I'm not saying I won't watch the movie or anything but that guitar guy is just unbelievably bad story telling.

The feminist shit comes up infrequently

kinda a Trojan horse though as the all female "tribe" are nice people but are hopelessly incompetent

[Spoiler] they get completely fucked up in their first actual fight and they set the most obvious trap in the history of traps, Pic related naked on top of an old electricity tower crying and begging for help… give me a fucking break yeah i know she's sexy as fuck but no fucking way does that shit work on anyone with an IQ north of 80.

It's shit. Max doesn't speak for most of the movie, doesn't get to do anything for 1/3rd of it, and the plot is focused on Theron's stronk womyn character saving the poor womyns from the patriarchy.

Aside from the action, which is nothing like the originals, it is a feminist movie full tilt.

Either you're a shill or you really think a movie has to be nothing but feminism for it to be pushing feminism. What's next, the sequel having 1/5th the Dredd and you still saying "it's great!" No fucking doubt. Just like you faggots defending Feminist Road despite Max being completely shit on by the movie.

And the common response from these pathetic faggots who defend this shit day in and day out. They'll tell you "the women are portrayed as incompetent" while ignoring 95% of the rest of the movie. They don't give a fuck that Max or Dredd are side characters in their own fucking movies. It is all about keeping up appearances that these movies are anything but the propaganda they obviously are.

Go ahead and watch it OP. Make up your own mind. Think about it for more than two seconds and ask yourself if Feminist Road fits in at fucking all with the original movies. Ask yourself if Max being reduced to the sidekick of a feminist character is what you imagined any future sequel doing.

Dredd doesn't suit being the hero of the story they were trying to tell. He comes across as a bad ass who doesn't speak unless it's needed.

Female gang leaders exist because fucked up women exist and exploit their vagina to get into positions of power.


 No.281162

Furiosa, Immortan, and the Breeders were already in the 1996 script that was written by George Miller himself. Feminist propaganda my ass, he probably just watched too much Xena.

How convenient that Dredd, the central character, doesn't suit the story for the movie about said central fucking character. This is a coherent argument in your mind.

>Female gang leaders exist

True.

>and exploit their vagina to get into positions of power.

Also true, but the character we are talking about didn't use her vagina. She out toughed the ruthless gang in a completely unrealistic way and somehow managed to keep control through fear. She was a feminist power icon lording over her underlings which were pretty much all men.

You would no doubt be aware of this, and how ludicrously unrealistic and forced Mama was. Yet you defend that and Dredd being a bit part while pretending to be a fan of Dredd.

Instead of pretending these messages aren't there, you should just be honest and admit that you don't care that they are there. The movies are well made technically and in the case of Dredd it isn't a feminist plotline even if it does have feminist elements and cucks Dredd to little screentime.

Is this supposed to be acceptable going into the future? Having sequels and remakes to properties with consistent main characters, even named directly after them, where said characters get barely any focus at all? When they are just making cameos in their own movies, will that be when you say enough?

>>281162

Mama's death was soft. If it had been a man his arms, dick, legs, or head would have been decapited. Mama gets a send off high on her own supply.


 No.281185

"Tumblr-tier" is the least of what's wrong with it.

Think of the truck chase in Road Warrior, except extended for 2 hours, involving a bunch of people you were given precisely zero reason to give a singular shit about (with some guy named "Max" seeming to make an appearance for the sole purpose of justifying the use of the IP), crammed up the fucking ass with CGI, and seen through the lens of a 12-year old's idea of "cool".

That's Fury Road.


 No.281186

>>281180

Being a whore and killing a man are not how you use "sleeping to the top". You also gloss over the unrealistic part of her taking over the gang. Saying "that's the story" doesn't excuse it either.

You bend over backwards for this. The way you frame your explanation of the story lends to you defending it. Hence the glossing over her taking over the gang and how that would actually work.


 No.281188

Don't diss on Gyro like that, dude.

The Gyro Captain was entertaining. He tried to act intimidating, but all he did was make himself look like an ass; he fancied himself a sophisticate and a ladies' man, but came across instead as a sleazy weirdo, even though deep down he was a pretty decent guy.

The entirety of Furiosa's character, on the other hand, can be summed up in "a robotic arm and a scowl".
