The REAL Goobusters posted:I'm gonna say this is a different max. It has to be. I'm not sure why everyone is saying this is a retcon, it's entirely possible that Max had another kid or just adopted. It really seems like he joined or founded community as his PTSD-backs contain multiple characters including an old woman and an aboriginal man. I'm just not seeing how this doesn't mesh with what little established canon exists.

Just saw it again and the showing ended up being completely sold out. There were definitely some, like myself, that were into multiple viewings but it seemed mostly new people. Everybody cheered when Joe got his face ripped off and people were crying when it looked like Furiosa was about to die, it was cool seeing everyone's reactions.

Panfilo posted:What about the lift guard that looks over the baby? Sounds like he says, "Too many lumps! Nahhh..." and throws the baby back to the woman. Might be connected to a part of Max's tattoos- "No Lumps, no Bumps". Lumps in this case could very well mean tumors. I've seen the lumps/tumors thing come up a couple of times in the thread. I'm personally pretty sure that the Warboy's illness/'half life' definition is just plain old advanced leukemia. Leukemia is caused by continued exposure to radiation, can sometimes take years to fully develop, and causes swollen/tumerous lymph nodes. I'll attach some pictures to the bottom to show what I mean, but know that these lymph node abnormalities can even cause swelling inside the throat, leading to difficulty breathing (Nux talking about his mates 'chewing on his windpipe'). Untreated leukemia eventually leads to myeloma, a type of blood cancer that attacks bone marrow. This leads to anemia and bone tumors, and can be primitively treated by blood transfusions, though apparently that'll only prolong your life by about 4-5 years with regular good blood injections. Here's an example of hosed up lymph nodes, like what Nux (probably) has:   And here's some advanced leukemia stuff (like what Ace seems to have), these are gonna be linked cause they are a bit horrifying if you're at work or have a weak stomach for medical stuff  http://i.imgur.com/5Bxvzjh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JseAfYh.jpg

Forgot to post this, don't believe everything you read on the internet http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/647505-george-miller-will-direct-more-mad-max-movies-eventually#/slide/1 quote:A big stink was made two days ago over an interview Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller gave in which he was quoted as saying that he won’t make more Mad Max movies. Now that the dust has settled and the Australian filmmaker has two more Oscar nominations under his belt for the film (Best Picture, Best Director; the film itself received 10 total), he’s spoken to TheWrap and clarified the previous statement, which was in fact a misquote.

chitoryu12 posted:There's also some more info on exactly how the Wives are chosen. There's a shot left in the first elevator scene where a pretty girl (also played by a model, I think) is being lifted up, and a deleted scene showed her being chosen as a new wife. The same scene showed a woman letting herself be chosen as a milker and a deformed baby being rejected as a War Pup. I think Joe will take women from anywhere, even the Wretched on the ground below, as long as they're pretty enough to be accepted. So the current stable of Wives may have been kidnapping victims, but others (especially Cheedo, who's suffering from some bad emotional abuse) could have been willing volunteers looking for a better life. Wives are chosen based on their attractiveness yes, but mostly chosen based on their full life/half life status (which I still take to mean as either not having/having leukemia or cancer).

I'm not sure why nerds think China is so likely to survive/thrive considering they're staring post apocalyptia right in the face with constant civil unrest, a tanking economy, and one of the worst water shortages in recorded history looming. Like, if you asked me to rank major powers in order of closeness to Mad Maxing the gently caress out, I'd put China at number 1 no question.

MrMojok posted:SMG's real name is Chadwick, and he works with Zakharov's wife? Holy gently caress don't even joke about that. Basebf555 posted:There's also a good amount of people who have been conditioned to expect a certain structure in an action movie because they haven't really seen anything even a little bit outside the mainstream for many years. So Fury Road comes along and it gets a shitload of attention, so it becomes mainstream enough that these people seek it out and watch it. But Fury Road just throws the audience into a fully formed world and expects them to pick up on important pieces of plot information along the way. A lot of people become disoriented and a third of the way through the movie they're asking themselves what this character's deal is, or what that line was supposed to mean, or who this guy is or why is he fighting these other guys. There's definitely something to this. My father had a real rough time at the start of the film, the discussion basically went: "Where is this supposed to be?" "Just somewhere in Australia, kinda implied to be Northern Australia." "I've been to Northern Australia and they didn't have any giant skull mountains!" "The bad guy carved/built it with his army." "How!? It's post apocalyptic I thought!" "The same way ancient Egyptians build the Pyramids." "Huh...I don't know..." He was fine once the cars started smashing around though.

Xealot posted:I rewatched Fury Road recently with someone who had not seen it, and it became funny the number of times the best explanation as to why something was happening was, "gently caress you. It just is." What are the boils from? What happened to Furiosa's arm? Why are they Norse pagans in Australia? Why do they need blood transfusions all the time? "Because gently caress you. They do. The thing is most of those questions can be answered from careful watching. Furiosa lost her arm in some distant combat (which isn't talked about because it's Max's movie, despite what some may say). Joe's religion is a mishmash of random heavy metal bullshit because it sounds cool and kids who've grown up post-apocalyptic won't know any better anyway. I once heard someone describe Joe's religion as a faith built out of Motorhead liner notes. And since I keep hearing people ask about the half-life illness I'm just gonna repost my earlier thoughts on the subject: Prokhor Zakharov posted:I've seen the lumps/tumors thing come up a couple of times in the thread. I'm personally pretty sure that the Warboy's illness/'half life' definition is just plain old advanced leukemia.

This leads to anemia and bone tumors, and can be primitively treated by blood transfusions, though apparently that'll only prolong your life by about 4-5 years with regular good blood injections. Keep in mind that Miller was a for real medical doctor and all this stuff would be pretty familiar to him. Even People Eaters foot has an explanation, that type of gigantism can be caused by walking barefoot on radioactive soil.
