That "everyone dies" ending is what makes it stand out. Here we are 10 years later still talking about the ending. Nobody does that for any of the other arkham clones like shadow of mordor etc (apart from TALIONposting and shelob sexo), hell even the arkham games themselves.
Because that's the tragedy of Max. Despite overall things becoming better as a result of his actions, he himself will never get his happy ending and those close to him wind up dead for one reason or another. It's why he left the Citadel at the end of Fury Road.
Eh, by that point in the game the relationship between Max and Chumbucket was kinda tense (after Chum b***hed out for a bit because Max cared about something other than the car) and Max was too obsessed with killing Scrotus to care about Chum's wellbeing. Not to say Chum himself didn't want Scrotus dead, just not at the expense of the car, whereas Max was willing to do whatever it took.
Max tells Chum to his face that he's going to ditch him and take the Opus into the plains of silence without him.
Which causes Chumbucket to have a crisis of faith and realize that Max isn't what he thought he was and he shouldn't entrust his life's work to a man who doesn't give a shit about him or what he's trying to do. Max is using him for the car and that's the moment Chum realizes it.
Why don't they just go somewhere you can walk without sticks?

But if they did that then why would they need the sticks? They have the sticks, they walk through water on the sticks. Simple as.

Have you SEEN what the rest of that fricking shithole world looks like? Nothing but sand and bogans. At least in the swamp you have an actual source of water. And even a dead ass fricking swamp like that has some wildlife to feed off of.

>not wanting to walk on sticks.
Fricking sticklets, when will they learn.
My take is that the water is poisonous or filled with radiation, but there's still things to scavenge for and the area is safe from raiders if you're willing to set up base there and walk on stilts to avoid getting (even more) cancer.
There was never an explanation, we might find out in Furiosa. All we know is that it became contaminated. Maybe a dust storm blew threw and brought a bunch of nuclear fall out with it.
>That's what you call a satellite. >Miss Giddy told us about those. >They used to bounce messages across the earth. >Shows. >Everyone in the old world had a show. >Do you still think there's somebody out there? Sending shows? >Who knows.
It was right after they reached the womens and was explained the green place is fricked and they already passed it. Then Furiosa gets all sad and they transition into that night scene where they talk about satellites and seeds and shit and Furiosa tells Max they're planning on crossing the salt plains.
Did they ever explain the timeline discrepancies or was Fury Road supposed to be a reboot? The trailer for Furiosa says she was captured 45 years after the collapse but Max was already a grown ass man at the time of the collapse which would make Tom Hardy's Max like.... 70+ years old in Fury Road.
that blonde fetal alcohol syndrome lab specimen that kept calling him a schlanger and made weird hissing noises almost got me switching it off several times..now I just skip forward
It was never intended to have strong continuity, hence miller casting the same actor for multiple roles in different films etc.
It was always about "car go fast then boom and max is upset, perhaps even mad". Just a collection of loosely related stories set in a post apocalyptic wasteland, the only common thread being a protagonist named max.
But Mel was Max in all 3 of the films before Fury Road and I assume because he is old as frick they casted Tom for it instead? They even have the same last name for both characters.

Yea Tom Hardy was "casted" because it's an episode from his life wandering the wasteland taking place anytime between the events of mad max 1 and 3 and mel would've been too old for that.
Headcanon. the first 3 films are consistent. the only reused actor was the gyrocopter guy as the plane guy and they didn't intend to bring him back but they could not find a suitable actor for the role. fury road has some inconsistencies but the supplemental media released at the time shows that it's still supposed to follow the other 3 films
IIRC Max was in his very early 20s at the end of Mad Max 1. Depends on when exactly Furiosa was born but Max could be in his 40's or something when Fury Road takes place.
The explanation for why it's 35yo Tom Hardy? Take your pick: >The film is told from Max's perspective and that's how he sees himself >The film was originally supposed to star Mel Gibson who would've been in his mid-40s and certainly playing older when the script was writting in the late 90s. > High-octane crazyblood keeps you young
in fury road, max's tattoo shows that 30 years has passed after the collapse. he is older than he looks in the movie. the comic explains that the events of the previous films did happen but the timeline of the collapse moved forward into the 2010s instead of the late 70s/80s. if what you said about furiosa is true, it's just a retcon
>Miller blew his budget load on making actual vehicles and practical effects so the Furiosa movie is gonna be chock-full of CGIslop
It's a sad feeling.
Furious Road is the best action movie of the past decade and I'm sick of contrarian Cinemaphilecels pretending it isn't. What's the competition? John Wick? Superhero slop?
it's one thing to make Max a secondary in a movie that is ostensibly his, but it really pissed me off what they did to the Black on Black and he just walks away at the end like it's no big deal
obviously it's been heavily modified digitally but people mean it's an otherwordly spectacle action movie that uses mostly real props which is still super rare
I like Fury Road but it's overindulgent in every way. Road Warrior is still the best vision of the post apocalypse by not being too high fantasy and proves less is more
when will Joji direct more films?
tomorrow
Since you probably know about Furiosa: Origins take a look here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4575512
the game was kino bobino
>mfw i have to kill the gas huffing waifu
>SAINT NOOO PLEASE SAINT NOOOO
This isn't how my mindless banham clone is supposed to make me feel. Not like this.
Based. The gameplay was flawed but fun but the environments is what sold the game. They were so beautiful.
The gameplay was perfect, the problem is you run out of fights too fricking quickly
So why did the devs force you to kill him? Seems cruel just for the sake of being a c**t

Well of course someone is going to end up dead around you if you straight up get murder them

Max a shit, Chumbucket did nothing wrong.
Thematically speaking it makes sense for a Mad Max story, also I don't think Max really liked him, he was just an asset to him
the driving was kino but the on-foot gameplay was dogshit
ubishit open world is never kino
if you just have to do it, at least cut down on the fricking busy work
Wtf were these guys?
I figured they were marshland scavengers looking for food or just people passing through
it's actually explained in the next scene, this swamp was actually the "Green Place"
That doesn't explain why guys like to walk on sticks there now.
They don't wanna get their shoes muddy.
I already speculated, you're welcome to explain it yourself.
Because it's a swamp. If you don't have a boat then stilts are the way to go.
Why don't they just go somewhere you can walk without sticks?
But if they did that then why would they need the sticks? They have the sticks, they walk through water on the sticks. Simple as.

They said the water turned sour which means radioactive, so they're on stilts to not be immersed in radioactive water and mud
muck boys
Why DID the Green Place die anyways? All I got from the old ladies was that it just up and shat itself one day for no particular reason.
Max forgot to turn on the radio for the weather forecast so we'll never know.
There was never an explanation, we might find out in Furiosa. All we know is that it became contaminated. Maybe a dust storm blew threw and brought a bunch of nuclear fall out with it.
Women fail to lead/defend civilizations.
Utter schlangers
The Furiosa movie will probably reveal it but I'm gonna guess that it was le evil men that destroyed le peaceful green matriarchy. What else?
women can't maintain anything
I figure it was already dying and was just an ecological pocket that took a while to dry up completely
Nice
>That's what you call a satellite.
>Miss Giddy told us about those.
>They used to bounce messages across the earth.

>Everyone in the old world had a show.

what is this? I don't remember this scene

Then Furiosa gets all sad and they transition into that night scene where they talk about satellites and seeds and shit and Furiosa tells Max they're planning on crossing the salt plains.
Put your phone down when watching kino
MEDIOCRE
it's not mad max without mel, these are just more woke reboots
Did they ever explain the timeline discrepancies or was Fury Road supposed to be a reboot? The trailer for Furiosa says she was captured 45 years after the collapse but Max was already a grown ass man at the time of the collapse which would make Tom Hardy's Max like.... 70+ years old in Fury Road.
Only schlangers ask questions like this. But yeah if you take Mel's movies into account, wasn't he a grown man even before the collapse?
that blonde fetal alcohol syndrome lab specimen that kept calling him a schlanger and made weird hissing noises almost got me switching it off several times..now I just skip forward
weird, I got an erection
>uh mate they're just tales from the wasteland

Sir please do not redeem mad max
Yea Tom Hardy was "casted" because it's an episode from his life wandering the wasteland taking place anytime between the events of mad max 1 and 3 and mel would've been too old for that.
but muh canon muh lore
thank you. the movies are just an excuse to shoot scenes of fast cars and explosions people need to stop autistically analyzing them
Headcanon. the first 3 films are consistent. the only reused actor was the gyrocopter guy as the plane guy and they didn't intend to bring him back but they could not find a suitable actor for the role. fury road has some inconsistencies but the supplemental media released at the time shows that it's still supposed to follow the other 3 films
George Miller has said that Max is a mythological figure within the wasteland. Each film is a stand alone story and doesn't follow a time line.
IIRC Max was in his very early 20s at the end of Mad Max 1. Depends on when exactly Furiosa was born but Max could be in his 40's or something when Fury Road takes place.
Max is the same age as Joe and the Vuvalini.
The explanation for why it's 35yo Tom Hardy? Take your pick:
>The film is told from Max's perspective and that's how he sees himself
>The film was originally supposed to star Mel Gibson who would've been in his mid-40s and certainly playing older when the script was writting in the late 90s.
> High-octane crazyblood keeps you young
I figured it was meant to be a reboot, or a different guy named Max who also happens to be mad.
in fury road, max's tattoo shows that 30 years has passed after the collapse. he is older than he looks in the movie. the comic explains that the events of the previous films did happen but the timeline of the collapse moved forward into the 2010s instead of the late 70s/80s. if what you said about furiosa is true, it's just a retcon
it's intentionally vague so you can make your own headcanon. also the world was already collapsing in Mad Max 1.
Watched it again yesterday, they don't make em like that anymore *siiiiip*
The practical effects were awesome. Loved the car chases and crashes. Pure special effects kino.
I am amazed zoomies believe any of that stuff was practical. The cgi was mid.
Meds now
a large amount of the stunts actually were, just post processed to hell
stupi dhomosexual
i want to bounce your homosexual skull off the pavement until you stop breathing
noted
Lmao these guys think they are so badass
I just find it hilarious, I'm 99% sure this edit is supposed to be comedic.
mid
kek
they are kinda badass tbh
Every other movie back then had a dust storm.
>Miller blew his budget load on making actual vehicles and practical effects so the Furiosa movie is gonna be chock-full of CGIslop
It's a sad feeling.
The only movie I ever saw in theaters twice. 10/10 film.
bamp
Furious Road is the best action movie of the past decade and I'm sick of contrarian Cinemaphilecels pretending it isn't. What's the competition? John Wick? Superhero slop?
Nobody is pretty good
agreed
The first Mad Max is the only good Max Max film
Fury Road is basically the car chase finale from MM2 (RW) stretched into an entire movie, without any of the plot and setup.
It's trash.
It was a fun spectable
Furioso doesn't look fun at all
WITNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>muh women taking over somehow will make things better
feminist slop
it's one thing to make Max a secondary in a movie that is ostensibly his, but it really pissed me off what they did to the Black on Black and he just walks away at the end like it's no big deal
>he just walks away at the end
I liked this. Max getting the frick out of their unstable new citadel ASAP seems characteristic
Great movie
This is the GOAT thread. Right up there with the catacomb skull and The Archiver.
Why do people recommend it as a non cgi film when 100% of shots have cgi amd plenty of it looks shit
obviously it's been heavily modified digitally but people mean it's an otherwordly spectacle action movie that uses mostly real props which is still super rare
It makes me so sad that we will probably never get Mad Max 5 with Tom Hardy returning. I like his version of the character better than Gibson's
>I like his version of the character better than Gibson's
lmao ok
whats the mad max lore anyway, why is the world so fricked?
probably nuclear ballocaust
Is like Fallout but it doesn't suck ass
Resource wars. first about oil, then about water. then nukes are fired
muh climate change, muh peak oil. both debunked boomer shit.
>debunked boomer shit
that's why the future looks brighter everyday
I like Fury Road but it's overindulgent in every way. Road Warrior is still the best vision of the post apocalypse by not being too high fantasy and proves less is more
feminist garbage
not worth saving in my movie drive
I watched this 4 times in the cinema
it was endless boring yellow shit all 4 times?
I can't see the world through the eyes of brown incel moron so I don't know anon.
>buzzword rage
Can you explain your pov calmly and in english?
