In many cases, thats the main cause of it lol Since why would anyone smart want to do that?

Then half of the critics on KZfaq should do just fine.

Looking at the current world situation I'd say it is just happening

Good Queen Alysanne Targaryen died on the 1st day of the 7th moon in 100 AC. Her corpse was not entombed in gray stones, nor buried in the cold soil. Instead her remains were burned on a funeral pyre, for she was the blood of the Dragon and their end is writ in fire.

villainy is scarce - incompetency is abundant. Often those who destroy are extremely incompetent.

Im right there with you my guy! Ive seen the movie 5 times now, last time i was in a movie theater before that was 10ish years ago. This movie was a straight up Masterpiece that should have done so much better in my eyes! Sad thing is, we cant wait the same amount of time for everything to align for The Wasteland to be made. George Miller would almost be 90 years old or sadly no longer with us. Gonne be super sad if The Wasteland doesnt get made after such a great film (Furiosa) flopped for reasons that I myself can not see.

@@NightWolfsHAMMERunfortunately, a lot of men who would usually go to action movies reaaally don’t like female protagonists. Weird and unhinged, but true. Cinemas are also expensive and a lot of folks wait for things to go to streaming. I have every intention of properly buying this movie and watching it over and over and over in the hopes it gets kind of a cult following via streaming so we can have more nice things lol

Half of the movie was publicly funded through government incentives Of course warner bros won't say that when they say it was a flop But because of that, the movie payed itself

Its just our awful political culture right now. 40% of the US is magas and chuds atm. It' too bad this movie rocked.

To be honest. I was overwhelmed watching Dune 2. But while time fades, I am still thinking of the first Dune ( Dave Lynch ) film, whenever I think of Dune. In contrast, I was a little bit disappointed right after watching Furiosa. Oh the CGI was too often and too unnecessary and blablabla. But this film works after watching. There were so many iconic, emotionally unique scenes and I cannot forget them.

Unfortunately this is unavoidable. Furiosa was his most competent commander exactly because she has freewill. The average war boy simply can't perform anything beyond being basic grunts.

@@minhducnguyen9276 i've heard the warboys being described as culturally impoverished. They dont know a better way of life. Ascending from the wretched to get acces to food, water and become a honorable warrior is a huge privilege already. Furiosa, having experienced life at the green place can see a world beyond what Joe presents her. I think the key difference is

​@@hab0272woh you built up quite a suspense. Tune in to next monday to find out.

i think folks are selling Joe short. Joe did the best he could with what he had, but what he had..wasn't much. He HAD to rule with an iron fist. and we haven't seen what Furiosa's reign is going to be like. There's only so much water to go around...how is she going to keep the War boys and the surrounding tribes in line? what is she going to do to make sure the masses don't just consume and wreck everything the Citidel produces out of greed and ignorance? the new boss may wind up looking an awful lot like the old boss, but with a better set of breasts.

Well they are diferent movies both good on their own merits. Barbie is a girlboss movie where the shadow protagonist is an ultra macho Ken (altough perhaps this was not the intention). And Furiosa is a Feminist movie were a "real" woman finds the path to redemption beyond revenge against two toxic male warlords. Its lame and ironic really.

It boils down to 2 elements: timing and target audience. Barbie came out at the perfect time to "complete" with Oppenheimer; and Furiosa came out 9 years after Fury Road. I was 13 when I saw Fury Road and I'm 22 now. Who was Barbie's target audience? Women. Furiosa's target audience? Action fans and Mad Max cultists. There's a massive size difference between the 2 groups.

Barbie had barbie Furiosa is a mad max without mad max focusing on things we already seen. The time to make furiosa was half a decade ago not new. We needed the wasteland not this

I loved Furiosa but when I first heard of a side story I was against it. I wanted a new Mad Max movie. Not a Furiosa movie. And idk maybe I just didn't see the marketing but I remember Barbies marketing was pretty much everywhere. With this I barely saw marketing for it. Plus Barbie just appeals to a bigger audience. It looked dumb but fun dumb. It was pretty much a meme. My ex hated Fury Road and most of the Mad Max movies. I kinda grew up with the road warrior and thunder dome. I was kinda done with Fury Road when it ended and wanted a new story. In general I don't really like prequels. But I gave Furiosa a chance and it was way better than I expected. I've seen it 3 times already. The box office? Theaters are failing left and right these days. I don't know if we can depend on ticket sales as much anymore.

@@MrEd8846 I just like the world. Max is irrelevant 😴

imortan joe himself is also a bad leader specially at fury road its ONE thing to Gain power but its way harder to Maintaine power in a good leadership way in his own movie joe is also stupid even more than dementos to be honest

Gives a whole new meaning to "What colour is your parachute?".

Yes, definitely!

The nose knows

I'm not sure the Empire would have lasted even if Furiosa hadn't taken the wives. Joe was pretty old and sick, it's quite likely he would have died before his perfect heir was anywhere near adulthood, creating a power vacuum. The leadership of the citadel would fall to Rictus and Corpus, who have a chance at ruling well together, with Corpus' smarts and Rictus' strength, but should one of them die, then it's game over. That doesn't even take into account that Bullet Farmer and People Eater might try to take over themselves or that Joe's death is bound to disillusion some of the war boys.

@@onetwothree9 It's safe to say that a succession crisis was definitely possible, but his death made the empire's fall all but certain. I have to imagine Joe had a plan on how a succession issue would unfold, and I suspect he was acutely aware of just how much time he had. I think the Furiosa movie made it pretty clear that the Empire had to be run as a triumvirate, because unless you're personally present at the hub of operations, you're likely to get your stuff taken from you. One of the 3 trying to take another guy's stuff is likely going to lose both spots, but that's how things stayed so stable. Rictus and Corpus are competent in their respective domains, and I think Joe would've lasted long enough to at least make an impression on his heir; I also don't think that any of his surviving children would be a threat, because they seem cool with Joe's plans. I think the heir would've been groomed by the inner circle of the Citadel until he came of age, and there would've been a couple people who'd handle nominal responsibilities... one of which could've been Furiosa, who at THAT point could've gotten some reasonable reforms passed. As for the War Boys, I think Joe would've had enough time to tweak the Cult of V8 to allow the succession without major issue; maybe something like saying that the gods have called upon him to ascend to Valhalla so that he might ride eternal as he promised, and from there he would lift up the faithful, all shiny and chrome. Then, afterwards, each successor would essentially become a prophet, speaking on his behalf.

The actor is the character, isn't.

@@te9591 It would have been cool if it turned out Toe cutter survived the first movie and he has to wear the mask because of his injuries.

@alphatrion100 i liked Millers origins saying Joe is an ex military officer. Toe Cutter is too impulsive and thrill seeking.

@@te9591 yup, there is a prequel comic about Joe and how did he took over Citadel. I personally prefer to say that there are two different timelines of that universe: - 1st is original trilogy with Mel Gibson - 2nd is Fury Road, Furiosa, comics from 2015 and the game from the same year

His character is a charismatic warmonger, and I think the people who follow him are for the promise of material wealth and favor. Like a leader of a band of mercenaries, or like someone winning a popularity contest. He is often in the frontlines with his men as a valiant leader, but immediately loses the trust of (some) of his men once he starts sacrificing them (as we saw with Octoboss and his underlings in the film). The point with his character is that charisma does not equal to competence, as he is shown to be incapable of maintaining Gas Town to the point that its people attack the war rig for supplies, incapable of maintaining allies (as we saw with Octoboss and the council) and a point was also made with the Bullet Farmer that Dementus is not upholding his end of the deal of guzzolene for bullets. This is a direct comparison to the Immortan Joe who, despite being rather imposing, does not hold the same level charisma but is vastly more competent and has instead built his army on an idea, like a religion.

Because he's both physically badass and capable of being cunning and a great fighter

I agree with your review. I absolutely loved Fury Road but I don't think I'll ever watch Furiosa again. I really didn't enjoy Anya as Furiosa. I didn't like the explanation for her arm coming off and her riding a bike up a mountain after losing an arm. It was too unbelievable for me. She didn't sell the character for me. I think the backstory didn't make sense for me. They ruined Rectus. They should have hired someone else as this time around he just seemed extra dumb and fat. He felt like a Stooge brother. The war boys all seemed dumber than before. They all seemed more vibrantly white and extreme than before. It seemed like many more had extreme birth defects. While in Fury Road they all felt more realistic with their defects. The CGI was jarring. You could feel the transitions every time they zoomed in. I wish they went a more practical route. Even with the CGI scenes depicted. Why make Dementus CGI climb his tow truck over an unbelievably steep mountain when it could have been more tame and still put him 1v1 with Furiosa. Like in Fury Road the 1v1 was done because only the monster truck climb a small pile of rubble and in this movie Chris goes mock 10 up the mountain. Dementus was a lame character. Like the scene with him trading Furiosa made it seem like a big deal only for him to forget about her in no time flat. The immortan joe replacement was awful. Could they not alter the voice to be similar?

bit incompetent leader, how did he manage to gather people around him that were eager to please him? That's the question I ask myself when I look at the incompetent leaders of the world.

The video is saying that he was a great character and that it is good that Dementus had the arc he had

They left it open kind of ... never showed her kill him but its heavily implied.

She planted a peach tree in his scrotum

You're silly.

While true, it doesn't detract from the writing...

I agree withmikel6090. Could have utilized more practical effects but I had such a damn good time at the movies

True but it has an in universe explanation... This is a fairy tale (like miller previous movie with the hot genie)... No the "actual" events as in fury road.

It's true but consider Miller is 80 years and filming in the desert is exhausting. He said he almost died in for Fury Road. The stunt were also more elaborate. Fury Road set to bar so high on that matter. Was hard to get there again.

How is it woke lol?

Weird that people have dfferent opinions.

Can you even Explain why? Or are you just being a contrarian for the edge.

I disagree, my favorite film of the year so far

A true cinematic movie, with great storytelling. Minor defaults yes, but still miles better than 90% of what wa have today.

Why you think its terrible ? Im curious your entitled to your opinion, i thought it was great.
