what dementus says vs what I heard

Actual lines from the video: Dementus: BRING ME YOUR LADIES AND THROW THEM DOWN!!! YOU WILL RULE WITH ME IN THE SPLENDOR OF A NEW WASTELAND!! Immortan Joe: ...... What I heard

Mad Max Teddy Bear Weirdness

Much attention has been paid to Dementus' teddy bear. The cast has even been calling the Dementus gang the "teddy bear gang." Dementus' symbol is just... Joe's symbol with teddy bear ears drawn on.

But this isn't the first appearance of weirdly affixed teddy bears in the Mad Max universe. Sure, Toadie in MM2 has some plushies hanging off his costume, but I'd like to call some attention to Major Kalashnikov/the Bullet Farmer in the 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road comics.

As shown here, Kalashnikov is drawn with a teddy bear strapped to his helmet. It's illustrated in multiple panels, so it wasn't a one-off fluke. Was this detail intended to be foreshadowing? On top of that, it appears that there's some kind of conflict between the Bullet Farm and Furiosa's War Rig in the Furiosa trailer.

Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't expect the crew of a War Rig to be throwing thundersticks at the folks from the Bullet Farm... Nor would you expect the Bullet Farm squad to shoot at one of Joe's War Rigs. A reliable source has indicated that a "Trojan Horse" is a major plot point in the film. Could this be it? Could the Trojan Horse war rig be a way for Furiosa to launch a sneak attack on the Dementus-allied Bullet Farm? Is the Bullet Farmer on Team Dementus for some reason? Is that why the Bullet Farmer is absent from this warlord group shot?

...Is an alliance with the Bullet Farm a reason why Dementus has a gang member with a truly absurd number of AK-47 ammo pouches on his costume and four guns mounted to his bike?

Furiosa

[warriororb5]

mad max: fury road says that when stripped down to its basic parts, the world is run by rich old men who control the production of weapons, oil, and water and food resources. these old men willingly hold most of the world in artificial poverty and take luxury as their right. they regard women as their property. they use sincere religious sentiment to further their selfish aims. they killed the world.

furiosa wants to fight back: she wants to escape to the green place, the utopia of childhood. but no matter what she and the wives sacrifice or how far they search, the earth is sour. the old men poisoned the soil with their bombs and their chemicals. there is no homeland outside of the systems these old men have dominated and these women have inhabited, the system furiosa has learned and perpetuated and rejected. their only option is to go back, to kill the old men and take their place in the tower where decisions are made.

can they hold the citadel, the ones who plant seeds instead of bombs? can they deradicalize the religious soldiers and create a more equitable society? can something grow in sour soil after all? we will never know. we leave our change-makers moving up into the seat of power. but as long as they rise, we can hold on to an ambiguous moment of hope.

Furiosa Trailer Analysis - Bullet Farm Edition

In the 2022 book "Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max Fury Road," Kyle Buchanan interviewed the cast and crew about the making of "Fury Road" and the future of the "Mad Max" franchise. Here's what was said about "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."

According to "Fury Road" production manager Dean Hood, we'll be seeing the Bullet Farm. We may have already gotten a glimpse in the trailer that's been released.

Most attention has been placed on this image of Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) getting bullet bukkake'd pelted by a stream of ammunition while hanging over a pit of fire.

Here's the most detailed concept art we have of the Bullet Farm, found in the "Art of Mad Max: Fury Road" by Abbie Bernstein. It's basically a pit, surrounded by a berm that's topped by a track and some guard towers. The landscape is punctuated with towers and cranes. Now for the trailer footage.

My money's on this being the Bullet Farm.

rewatching mad max fury road. what a fuckin movie. what a fuckin time to be alive. i saw this three times in theaters and it was so fucking hard to drive home safely each time. the thing that hit me on this rewatch was how he keeps apologizing to furiosa while they’re doing field medicine to her. he’s trying so hard to be gentle

Me, mechanically inept, trying to write anything that has to do with motors:

"The uhhhh.... Vehicle was Starting,,, it ha d a uhhhh"

*looks at smudged writing on hand*

"Vee-six motor and ummmm,,, t,,, turbo chargers???..... it went At A Speed,,,,"

Hypothesis:

The War Boys aren’t actually that sick.

1) It could be that a particular kind of tumor is common in the Citadel, courtesy of Founder’s Effect; this would explain why everyone from the Citadel’s genetic pool has tumors/boils/buboes, but individuals from outside populations–Furiosa, Max, the Wives (possibly), the Vuvalini–don’t have them. This would also explain why supposedly pervasive radiation toxicity appears only to affect one population instead of all populations.

2) The War Boys’ and the Wretched’s ailments are curable. The tumors are relatively benign and easily removed (there was no sign of cachexia in populations that weren’t starved, and Nux didn’t seem to be suffering from organ failure); the night fevers are a series of infections endemic to the War Boys’ shitty living conditions; and the reason they need blood transfusions so often is because they’re highly active while on a subpar diet, and thus chronically anemic.

3) If maintaining a death cult is critical to your holding power, one of the best ways to keep the members of said cult properly suicidal is to assure them their lot will be better in the next life. For them to believe it, their lot has to be suitably miserable in THIS life. That’s really not hard to do in Mad Max Land, but it’s even easier if they believe they’re running out of time. How to do this? Tell them their ailments are fatal. Tell them they’re living half-lives on borrowed time. Tell them only cowards die in bed, and that the bravest, the ones who die in battle, are the only ones who get to paradise.

Conclusion: Immortan Joe is a dick. News at 11.

logically i recognize that like, artistically speaking or whatever, they should probably stop making fast and furious movies? but ngl i want them to just keep making them until the fast and furiousverse devolves into the mad max hellscape. and then Max Rockatansky and Dominic Toretto can kiss
