#lots of scenes of dementus ‘raising’ her

[theology101]

I saw a post on reddit about the different routes Furiosa’s life could have taken, and something about the ‘Father’ route kinda spoke to me. So…

Furiosa says her first words and says that yes, she is Dementus’ daughter (Because Joe’s vibe is even worse then Dementus’), giving her a place of trust

She is also actively planning on killing him, but needs to make sure she’ll have control of the other bikers first

Fifteen year old Furiosa rapidly finds herself thrown into positions of power by her ‘father’

She stops the flagrant food waste, kicks out as many of the wretched to the Citadel or Bullet Farm as she can (and makes sure its dementus who is the public face of it)

Recognizing Octoboss’ clear resentment of Dementus, she silently recruits him and his gang of flyers to her side

Furiosa is silently sequestering gas and food for her own stockpile and a covert deal with Jack

When Demementus moves on Bullet Farm, she alerts Immortan Joe before his conviy can arrive. Joe loses the War Rig and Jack, but Furiosa has a functionally empty Gas Town

She rallies her men, take out Dementus’ loyalists in Gas Town, waits for Dementus to come back - and shoots him in the Fucking Head

Queen Furiosa, Lady Protector of Gas and Khan of the Biker Horde, makes a formal agreement with Joe, one better then Dementus’

Then she recruits a wastelander named Max, to help her take the Citadel and free the Wives… step one os Max becoming the new Praetorian…

Saw furiosa and I’m putting some thoughts under the spoiler-

- the child actress was great, loved her

-overall just loved our short peek at the green place, very cool and solar punk. Not quite what I expected but totally love it

-wish I was able to identify the vulvalini war leader to who she was in mmfr

-really liked the kind of vignette structure that was used

-but yeah the first vignette or two was really really good, I loved Mary Jo bassa, I loved the tension of her and furi protecting the secret location

-I didnt like dementus in the trailers, but he was a lot smarter/more canny than expected. He approached furi in the right way and I think the audience really did love/hate him

-dementus at the citadel was great, loved how we established Joe’s power, but also dementus’s charisma and ability to lead a group as a ‘caring’ despot

-plus motorcycle chariot, iconic no notes

-gastown trojan horse was fine, def overshadowed by other stuff

- the parley scene, his nipples came off

- overall the handoff of furi and organic mechanic felt a little weird but I mean plot holes gonna plot hole

-teddy bear is iconic tho

-also lol at organic mechanic never aging

-aging in general was all over the place

- okay so furi is with the wives for not that long at all, and just nobody notices when she escapes???

-tho i guess rictus probably would have killed her anyway

-BLACKTHUMB BLACKTHUMB BLACKTHUMB

-idk just seeing furi build the war rig made me happy, and managing to get through the environment on her own

-basically all the of the stowaway was the high point of the move

- the war rig getting built

-the war with octoboss

-like that was cool as shit, all those kites

-love the miller just consistently raises the bar and makes this world crazier

- I think there was more CGI in this one, but overall combat still looked very very good

- coming down to the final two felt very tense, overall just great fight

-I think this is also when we saw the best acting out of Anya Taylor joy, the silent stare works when there’s crazy combat everywhere

-hey pissboy

-praetor Jack felt fine here, keeping her around was justified

-the time skip here was the worst tho

-like she just went from stowaway to driving the rig???

-idk i feel like that was the part of the story i was most interested in and they skipped it all

-also I hate her hair, like why???

-it also like never came up the she is literally the only woman with like any kind of power in the citadel???

-apparently the answer to how was some big strong awesome man protected her just because???

-like I just didn’t understand their chemistry

-also like nobody realized this was a wife that escaped a few years ago???

- so like I think the bulletown scene suffered just because like I didn’t care so much about this guy and don’t see why she did

-the dark dementus scene was alright I guess

-hi max! Is it implied he got her back to citadel?

- solo vengeance quest next, liked zooming out of there without rictus and scrotus

-but honestly Taylor joy just got way out acted by Hemsworth in that last vignette

-he was really really good

-and like she just stared

-like maybe it would have worked better if she had more dialogue

- but also I’m just not sure I found her as compelling out of a fight scene in general

-the peach tree was cool tho

-I was hoping to see my boy ace, but if he was there I missed it :(

In conclusion I have a lot of opinions please talk to me about them
