Literally no one who liked Fury Road cared about Furiosa. Shit most nobody cared about the women or even Max in that movie.
It was a movie that was carried entirely on people identifying with the bad guys and getting hyped up imagining them living that life. Every single person who watched it left that room screaming "WITNESS" and probably continued for weeks after too.
It was such a failure of a feminist power fantasy movie they kept trying to portray it as that it made people side with the slave cult, and yet they kept pushing with the plans to turn this bitch into the franchise face.
People have just stopped trusting accepted critics and figures, and when they finally get to see it they feel right in their assertions.
The Acolyte is a great example of that on Disney+.
They can throw racist, sexist and homophobic at audiences for not seeing it but since the entirety of the customer base with the money required have now been called Nazis at one time or another in the past decade they just don't care.
Those promoting both Furiosa and The Acolyte were all shouting #MeToo just years ago but now don't want to mention Weinstein or Epstein and their involvement in the entirety of the business even though that is much more relevant than whether men or women should enjoy Barbie or Sound of Freedom.
Deadpool and Wolverine will give everyone a good movie experience this Summer but the rest of the slate for the next couple of years is dry and nobody cares if a critic or social commentator goes hungry.
Like video games, people just want to unwind with escapist entertainment and enjoy their bread and circuses in peace. If the Hollywood bigwigs didn't see this coming then it is just natures way of saying "Bah-bye!".
The theatres can stay alive based on old movies alone, this year has proven that,(25 yr old movies are packing seats while new releases, crickets) maybe theatres can finally put something in their pocket besides popcorn money.
Yeah they just have to rerelease actually good movies people want to see. If somebody knows one of their favorite movies is being shown they would probably want to see it more than [Hollywood woke remake #23].
Honestly the family and I watched Shrek 2, all three spider-man 2000’s movies, and the phantom menace and we had more of a blast than any recent movies I can think of. Even the kids don’t get excited over newer marvel movies because they can tell it all sucks too
That is so cool! I love that the little ones got to see those on the big screen! I will agree I've seen a lot of people stoked about older movies and that's good stuff.
It’s actually not a woke movie. Chris Hemsworth’s Dementus is almost a protagonist as much as the chick is. The movie’s basically her becoming him. It’s a decent summer fun movie.
Her being a frail girl actually does give her explained advantages in rising up some ranks since they need someone small and light to maneuver among dangerous machinery like at the bottom of a giant super semi or along things being pulled up by cranes. She also gets taken under the wing by the wealth of knowledge for the groups so she ends up knowing a lot.
Her being smarter actually makes sense because she came from a place of food and abundance and education and everyone else is basically an indoctrinated malnourished retard. It’s actually a decent movie. It’s not amazing or deep but it’s mighty decent. The Mad Max universe is absurd in a fun way but it’s a decent addition. I’ve only seen the original and not Fury Road. I liked Furiosa. I’d give it a 7-7.5.
The only reason I even saw it in the theaters was because I have a movie membership and Memorial Day weekend is crowded and we wanted something easy to do that we wouldn’t be crowded out of.
If it wasn’t for that, I don’t think I’d have had the inclination to ever see it, even at home. It’s a good movie few people have any reason to see anymore and it does at least from the trailers seem like it’d be some kind of girl boss movie or something since it’s a Mad Max movie with a female lead. It’s mostly guilty of coming out at the wrong time culturally.
Possibly. I just don't feel like watching an actress with eyes in different zip codes. Seriously. I get the feeling that Harvey Weinstein Jr. wants me to take part in his fetish.
I'm sure there's an analogue to Poe's Law where a piece can be so retarded it's difficult to tell if written by a retarded AI or a retarded journalist/blogger.
As fucking well it should. If you replace the main character in ANY popular film series with a completely different person (eg a minority or a strong modern whamen), you’re not really making a true sequel anymore, are you? You’re making woke fan fiction.
I cannot wait for Disney to push out the new Rey Kathleen trilogy so they can actually consider if a plane crash would save them more money than letting KK touch another SW trilogy
Haven’t read that KIA1 post but Furiosa was a fun movie when I saw it. Never saw Fury Road. It’s way more like Kill Bill than it is the female Ghostbusters. The way the world works it’s actually not that hard to understand too. She grows and is capable because she grew up with nourishment in a place of abundance. Most people in the show are made out to be retards because they’re malnourished and lied to and grow up starving. She’s a girl that didn’t and was taken care of and taught by a psychopath that she eventually becomes out of revenge.
It’s not literary cinema or anything, but as a fun box office summer movie it’s more than decent. She doesn’t really do almost all the cool stuff in the movie. Her being allowed to not get fucked and be made a baby factory itself doesn’t make sense once it’s clear she’s a girl to everyone but everything else was decent.
Everything other than Godzilla is absolutely awful in those movies, though. They rightfully portray Godzilla as an absolutely badarse force of nature, but the human characters are insufferable. I have yet to see the newest Godzilla x Kong, but if it's more insufferable human side-plots, I don't know if I can sit through that again.
Props, though, to the writers for making Legendary's Godzilla come across as such a force that he's quickly become one of the most popular iterations of the big G.
I agree with you regarding the Hollywood made Godzilla movies (except the 2014 film, which I thought was pretty good). However, you should check out the Japanese one that came out recently, called Godzilla Minus One. It was really good, didn't have any diversity (everyone is appropriately Japanese, since the story takes place in Japan), it idolized and extolled the virtues of the Japanese people, had good messages in it, had some decent twists in it, and it makes you feel good after watching it, and not depressed from all the degeneracy, nihilism, and brow beating like in Hollywood movies. They made Godzilla the bad guy (apparently that's how he started out), where he's an allegory to nuclear weapons. I can't recommend it enough.
Absolutely will be checking out Godzilla Minus One. Several others here have also recommended it; I'm not sure why I hadn't come around to watching it yet, but it's high up on my watchlist.
Is Millie Brown, or whatver her name is, still in the new movie? Jesus fuck her character was fucking insufferable. IMDB doesnt have her listed, so i might check it out.
See, I thought that going into Godzilla vs Kong, but the people in that one were so insufferable that I actually regretted sitting through their scenes even though the monster action was good. I haven't seen the new one because they were just that bad.
You can sit in the comfort of your own home watching 1080p or higher these days depending on how much money you spend and you've got fancy as fuck projectors now for that cinema feel.
This. I've done about the same thing, even picked up an HF8 haptic feedback device for the chair, which works great when watching blockbuster action films on the big screen. No sense travelling to the theatre when you can get the full movie-going experience sat at home.
I don't mean to quibble (no, I do) but I'm pretty sure it's "worst Memorial Day opening weekend in 3 decade*" because in 2020 the theaters were closed. Looking up Box Office Mojo, grosses were around $2 million. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/holiday/us_memorialday_weekend/2020/
I bring this up because I noticed that in Doomcock's video he makes the mistake of reading between the lines and insists that this 3 decades figure is including 2020, which I'm pretty sure it isn't. Just more shit reporting from "journalists."
I suspect the real kicker is that this is the worst grossing Memorial Weekend opening without adjusting for inflation. 30 years of inflation is almost 250% from some quick math. So it's entirely possible those numbers are the worst non-covid numbers ever.
I liked Furiosa in Mad Max Fury Road....but not enough to pay to see a prequel movie about her in theaters.
I also don't like Anya Taylor-Joy, her eyes are so wide they're migrating to the sides of her head and she looks like a fake person spat out by an AI. It doesn't help she got that cheek fat suction surgery to make her eyes look even bigger, but it's going to prematurely age her in just a few years.
He does have a point though that "going to the movies" isn't a common activity for young White Americans any more. People don't go to the theater and then see whatever looks interesting. If a movie gets great word of mouth reviews then people will go see it.
She lost his favorite hand and cut her hair off. The man has standards. Even the comics showed he only had anal with the non-white girl. Dude didn't play around with his future progeny.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but Immortan Joe did nothing wrong. He set up a system where he had access to water. He traded it for other necessities and set up a trade network. He respected the terms he'd set up with other suppliers and formed alliances. He set up a security force and marked territory. He recruited and supplied an army.
The wasteland is a shithole. Nobody out there has a future, but he did give purpose to fighting age men and those with usable skills. Even the people who had nothing to offer and no means to move on were given water, scant as the supply was.
He sets up a stronghold. He grows food and gets himself set up well. Is it too much to ask to want a family who can carry what he's built into the future? Do these women really have a lot of options? He's the equivalent of a billionaire in the wasteland.
No matter where you were out there, if you appeared on any factions' radar, you got jacked. That's just how it is, and his raiding parties were a necessity or he'd be seen as weak. The man was an adapted homesteader.
As soon as he was 'defeated' in the dumbest way possible, the first thing the new matriarchy did was waste all the precious water in a spectacular display of profligacy.
The hollywood part is that the women were abused prisoners instead of happily riding his dick. IRL they'd be lording it all over anyone else that they're so pretty they get to live as royalty with the most powerful man around.
Yeah that they wrote "our babies will not be warlords" when they left was cringe. What would they choose for them otherwise if Furiosa hadn't filled their heads with the horseshit story of some green paradise inhabited only by women? Baristas and poets? If they hadn't figured out that it was a daydream by that point, in the world they were living in where everyone has serious issues, then he was right to lock them up for their own protection.
These girls living better than every other human for 1000 miles around are convinced by a dried up resentful old woman who filled their head with nonsense to leave for a pipe dream (the goal ended up being a dried up desert with dried up old ladies; ironic symbolism), only for 2 men to keep them alive long enough for them to listen to reason

After I watched Fury Road all I cared about was how do I get my own Gigahorse.
I should have added the subset of people who went home to immediately work on their project car with renewed vigor.

ok, faggot
That Nerdrotic guy said the same, that it's a good movie but people are so jaded they don't give a fuck. (including me)

The secretary in the ghostbusters-that-must-not-be-named?
Demented is right.
I find it difficult to comprehend how people are paid to write so many words about nonsense like this.
I'm sure there's an analogue to Poe's Law where a piece can be so retarded it's difficult to tell if written by a retarded AI or a retarded journalist/blogger.
Even if the movie is actually good, any movie that's a sequel to a popular movie + has a female main character is going to struggle now.
As fucking well it should. If you replace the main character in ANY popular film series with a completely different person (eg a minority or a strong modern whamen), you’re not really making a true sequel anymore, are you? You’re making woke fan fiction.
I cannot wait for Disney to push out the new Rey Kathleen trilogy so they can actually consider if a plane crash would save them more money than letting KK touch another SW trilogy
Boeing: "That can be arranged."
Good. Replacing the character that the audience wants with their own is just an insult to their fans in the first place.
There is a long ass post back in reddit KIA2 about this movie, fucking out of the blue.
Remind me of that long ass post here about how Fallout wasn't bad.
Wonder if its the same shill.
Haven’t read that KIA1 post but Furiosa was a fun movie when I saw it. Never saw Fury Road. It’s way more like Kill Bill than it is the female Ghostbusters.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ZOOMER YOU DONT KNOW SHIT
Not a Zoomer.
well, youve got zoomer opinions. go watch some good movies, retard.
I did over the weekend. Was decent. Called Furiosa.
Meanwhile, Godzilla X Kong was hated by critics, loved by the audience, and made the most money of any Godzilla film at theaters.
Everything other than Godzilla is absolutely awful in those movies, though. They rightfully portray Godzilla as an absolutely badarse force of nature, but the human characters are insufferable. I have yet to see the newest Godzilla x Kong, but if it's more insufferable human side-plots, I don't know if I can sit through that again.

Absolutely will be checking out Godzilla Minus One. Several others here have also recommended it; I'm not sure why I hadn't come around to watching it yet, but it's high up on my watchlist.
I wholeheartedly concur! Best movie I've seen in years, and on the BIG screen, as movies were intended to be viewed!
Is Millie Brown, or whatver her name is, still in the new movie? Jesus fuck her character was fucking insufferable. IMDB doesnt have her listed, so i might check it out.
That's all I need. That's all anyone cares about lol
Kong is cool too
See, I thought that going into Godzilla vs Kong, but the people in that one were so insufferable that I actually regretted sitting through their scenes even though the monster action was good. I haven't seen the new one because they were just that bad.
This. I've done about the same thing, even picked up an HF8 haptic feedback device for the chair, which works great when watching blockbuster action films on the big screen. No sense travelling to the theatre when you can get the full movie-going experience sat at home.
I would of loved to see something like the rise of Immortan Joe. But it's current year so we get this instead.
Would've been better to have another Mad Max movie with Mel Gibson, made by old Hollywood.
I'd love to see an Old Man Max, similar to how they did Logan.
I don't mean to quibble (no, I do) but I'm pretty sure it's "worst Memorial Day opening weekend in 3 decade*" because in 2020 the theaters were closed.

Just more shit reporting from "journalists."
Meanwhile Top Gun Maverick laughed itself all the way to the bank.
It kept fucking playing in theaters for like 6 fucking months after its release.
"For clarity purposes: The last time a film grossed in this vicinity was the 1980s with Return of the Jedi and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. "
but those were both good movies. so what is this sentence supposed to mean?
I suspect the real kicker is that this is the worst grossing Memorial Weekend opening without adjusting for inflation. 30 years of inflation is almost 250% from some quick math. So it's entirely possible those numbers are the worst non-covid numbers ever.
I liked Furiosa in Mad Max Fury Road....but not enough to pay to see a prequel movie about her in theaters.

people don't care about movies anymore. well, boomers still do but they're in their 80s and shitting their pants at home.
People still care about movies, Hollywood just don’t make them anymore - they make propaganda now.
But every once in a while, a Sound of Freedom or a Top Gun Maverick slips through the cracks and slaps them like a dick in their stupid faces.
He does have a point though that "going to the movies" isn't a common activity for young White Americans any more. People don't go to the theater and then see whatever looks interesting. If a movie gets great word of mouth reviews then people will go see it.
Doesn't help that inflation's eating into everyone's discretionary spending.
See: Godzilla x Kong.
Isn't preachy, just good fucking Giant Lizard punches Giant Monkey fun.

It's an unintentional criticism of feminism.
These girls living better than every other human for 1000 miles around are convinced by a dried up resentful old woman who filled their head with nonsense to leave for a pipe dream (the goal ended up being a dried up desert with dried up old ladies; ironic symbolism), only for 2 men to keep them alive long enough for them to listen to reason
I doubt thats an unpopular opinion. Literally everyone loved him and his army, while the heroes are mostly forgotten
I'm more surprised people saw Mad not Max the movie and said 'where can I get more??'
