100% As If it needs to be said...naming a movie "Mad Max" or even "A Mad Max Saga" and not having Max in them, is a very lazy choice. A spinoff is definitely welcome, but please don't just cut out his character completely....PLEASE!
Are you kidding me? The series is called Mad Max; it’s his story, and the title sells the movie. That’s exactly why they made sure to put his name in this spin off movies title. Otherwise, it would just come off as just another action film , to those not immediately familiar with the Furiosa character.
@@totomen666 You realize Miller the guy who started this series wrote this write and made this character so he could write someone else that isnt just Max. The same people is the guy who even has these movies exist at all
@@GazingTrandoshanYes, but he never said anything about replacing Max with Furiosa. That’s something the guy who narrates this wants to interpret as what Miler said . This narrator is projecting.
Okay IGN. Now imagine if Wonder Woman got a successful spinoff starring a caucasian man and then someone made a video titled *"Why Wonder Woman doesn't need Wonder Woman anymore".* The author of that video would be called sexist, misogynist and many other -ist or -phobe. That is not a hypothetical situation and it WILL happen to a person like so many other times before. So why can't we have that the other way around? Double-standards much?
Thats called the DCU dude , this comparison is very very very not a right one lol . Max Max as a series is dictated by its setting more than anything is the entire point, Wonder Women is a part of a whole world already expanded beyond her, thats the point
Ahahah. gramps Mel? No protagonist material because AGE. How about the villain you would say? well, he appears as the villain A LOT these days, and he always plays ...Mel Gibson.
This is why no one takes you seriously IGN. Let me guess Mad Max should forever disappear and we as fans better darn well embrace it. Enjoy the well-deserved ratio.
You can't have Mad Max without Max it's in the title Furiosa: A Mad Max saga, it'd be like The Dark Knight without Batman it doesn't really make sense but then we've got Suicide Squad
I'm calling cap on that. That's like Star Trek without the space travel: it's a complete betrayal of the franchise's name. Mad Max without Max is a hard sell, regardless of quality
They need Mad Max as a brand to uplift Furiosa as a character. Without the weight of the franchise behind it, Furiosa wouldn’t be the same. Strap it to a successful franchise to give the character an air of legitimacy to the casual fan who doesn’t know any better. See every other modern iteration of a franchise for evidence of this.
The Box office numbers sayz it all It all Started with ""MAD MAX""" but not to say the movie "" FURIOSA""" is Awesome but """Fury Road""":had indeed MAD MAX included and it was AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC .. .Mad Max makes the movie 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It has been the same writer and director since the beginning. He doesn't need your approval to expand on his own universe. None of you inexorably insufferable and pathetic crybaby trolls matter in this equation.
Did you even watch the creator’s perspective on this? Mind you, the CREATOR of mad max. Can do whatever he wants with his franchise. It also makes logical sense. Naming it mad max also adds to marketing, which is also a factor.
We are now in the era where side characters get their own movies over the actual protagonist that we want to see. Nobody watched Fury Road for Charlize theron or furiosa, she is literally a brand new character that was created for fury road. Also designed as a support character for max.
"Max" in Fury Road was clearly the feral kid idolized him after all that time. Hence the limited dialog and works perfectly in timing that it would be him. A third film should have Tom Hardy return and star. Maybe cameo reveal or flashback scene with Mel on his fate (etc).
Incorrect because Max has memories of Toe Cutter dying in that movie. It actually takes place between Road Warrior and Thunderdome and it's the same Max.
It might be better to say that the post apocalyptic world of Mad Max is big enough to feature stories about many people within it, and Max is one of many.
No, they really do. If you’re a fan of character development/arcs, it’s essential. I’m not saying Furiosa is a bad character, but why did this particular film need to be made? We know her fate and that of all those that surround her in this film before it begins. If you need to make a Furiosa centric film, set it after Fury Road and let us continue her story. How does she lead the Citidel? What challenges does she face? Prequels are inherently uninteresting due to the fact we know definitively what their future is. Unless you’re Secret Hideout making Star Trek. Then canon doesn’t matter.
Gearge Miller has an entire backstory to Fury Road for Mad Max leading up to the events of fury road as well, just like he did with Furiosa. She’s a great addition to the franchise. But plenty more stories for Mad Max.
It would have made more sense to make a movie about the origins of Mad Max than Furiosa. Max is a character that has been around for decades & the franchise is literally called Mad Max. While Furiosa is a character who appeared in a single movie that was released almost a decade ago.
Expanding the universe is cool but Fury Road was just a Furiosa story and the old movies are really.......old. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long for the next "Mad Max Saga" film!
Why the world doesn’t need IGN anymore

Then why are we calling this Mad Max then?
It was never about him anyways. Every Mad Max tale was about someone else with him caught in the middle of it.

Personally, I'm disappointed about the lack of proper cars in the new movie as they've seem to have been replaced with CG this time.
