I love the villain vs villain trope. We always see the good guys trying to avoid conflicts or risking themselves to help others. But here, we see two ruthless leaders ready for blood and casually sending their pawns to their deaths.
They way they play Dementus here is great. Confidence vs competence. Also all the hooks being used as both weapons and looting... this movie was so great
Immortan Joe is actually a brilliant leader and organizer. The system and alliances he has going are actually impressive. To me Furiosa and Mad Max fall into the category of chaos. They are not heroes. The audience perceive them as heroes or anti-heroes but they aren't. People like Imortan Joe can bring mankind back not Mad max or Dementus. Dementus is just a mad dog marauder on the prowl on the search of abundance he didn't create.
@@TemplarX2 Joe's a fascist for sure - he sexually enslaves women as breeders and milkers, creates mindless drones to commit suicide on a whim, he's somehow both wasteful and stingy with how he doles out water to the people in deep poverty below. I think Furiosa's a hero - especially in Fury Road. That whole group from Max to Nux to the women from the green place and the runaway brides themselves work together to overthrow him. And those women who were being milked like cattle - the first thing they do is share water with the people below. I feel as if this story led to a bigger one where people just needed a sign of hope to take action themselves. I likened Fury Road to the scene in GOT where Dany frees the slaves. It will be messy on the back end, but in that moment she was a total hero
@@TemplarX2 Good observation but it still doesn't justify him wasting crap ton of water in fury road. He could have built a proper water distribution system (which furiosa did) instead of spilling all the water on the ground which was enough for the wretched, wasting it.
War Boys in general are young. They are all irradiated, it's why they are "half-lives". They're not expected to live past 20 and only the most resilient (like The Ace in Fury Road) even do. That's okay for them, though, since they expect to go to "Valhalla" if they throw away their lives in a spectacular, "witness"-worthy fashion in service for the Immortan, though.
I love how Dementus absolutely sucked as a leader. It was brilliant and so refreshing to see someone who had basically swindled his way to appear a charismatic leader but ended up having no substance to actually lead.
And even "his" good ideas, he had to steal. Like his Trojan Horse play at Gas Town. He's good at stealing and breaking things, but terrible at actual leadership.
@@logicplague Of course I have. But most fictional villains are usually super-competent and have some obscure flaw that leads to their downfall. Politicians are just members of the public with a special chair. Have you seen how dumb the public are? No wonder we have politicians so moronic.

@@aaronsimkin5084 Just the poor bastards who aren't War boys or Joe's inner circle; everyday people. And yes, some of them had "unique" looks. I assume that's because it works as a shorthand for what happened to people after nuclear war and years of wars in the wasteland. Takes a toll apparently
@@aaronsimkin5084the wretched is what they're collectively referred to as those who look less like these poor folks get snatched up by the higher ranks to at best be a war boy and at worst a gear walker
@@unit-3650 the citadel has a lot of beans, bridges and cranes on top and between them conecting all 3 towers .. as seen they have a lot of hooks and cranes to lower the vehicles (in Fury Road its shown that almost all vehicles are stores up inside the towers and all of them are lowered with cranes several of them at the same time wich implies quite a a lot of cranes up there)
Before this, it seemed as though Dementus was a big fish in a small pond. Now though; He’s a small fish in a big pond, and there’s blood in the water. And so comes the cold calculating shark of this ocean of sand: IMMORTAN.
Dementus learns just how small a fish he is after he manages to conquer gas town only to completely run it into the ground from sheer mismanagement. He's definitely the kind of leader that thrives in conflict when there's a war effort to lead and challenges to overcome. But when it's finally his turn to manage an organized fortress settlement like immortan joe and the citadel, the dude just really sucks at it.
This really shows the level gap between dementus and immortan. Dementus confidently came in without a solid plan and thought he could take down the whole citadel. Boy oh boy he was wrong and many of his men died because of his mistake, immortan joe really stomped his armies like ants
This is why his army got crushed during the 40 Day Wasteland War. His Biker Horde is only good for attacking small, disorganized and/or undefended targets but not against large, organized foes. He later hedged his bets in taking the Citadel without a shot by trying to fool Joe into attacking Gastown but later ended up had his entire force exposed to the full might of Joe's army instead.
If you ask me, it is remarkable that he managed to last 40 days... I assume he did a lot of hit and run tactics till he simply ran out of men. Either by death or desertion. But still... Props to him.
@@tikarimiekka8048my theory is that the actual war ended in the 1st day. Mad Max movies have an unreliable narrator and stories are heavily romanticised. They get surrounded, Dementus escapes back to Gastown with 1/3 of his bikers, everyone else either escape somewhere else or get killed. And the rest 39 days is just trying to bait Dementus out of Gastown and hunting down rest of the bikers scattered around the area. The battlefield became the place where fallen bikers were collected for salvaging. I believe that History Man, Harley and Davidson (as Harley and History Man were seen alive) sold Dementus out and were able to bait them out.
the warboys all dying hauling shipment was just for narrative, they were missing all their spears from bikers with parachutes ffs even got their v8 hijacked now that was embarrassing should have tripped it like nux did, before that happened but nah.
I've never been particularly impressed with anything he's done, I'm not really into the Marvel stuff so seeing this was really a revelation he was so awesome in this.
It was weird at first, but I kinda like how Dementus breaks the mold of the archetypical Mad Max main villain - instead of a commanding gruff warlord or dignified ruthless ruler, he's an ingenius but cowardly buffoon without any bigger goal in mind.
1:49 like the detail of Smeg correcting the first war boy. Not only adds realism to the confusing choice, but only shows that Smeg really intend to pick someone at random, like avoiding the trick of having an accomplice in the crowd during magic tricks. That level of detail is completely stunning.
@@davidsonforead an interpretation that this film is Furiosa being a servant of evil, becoming a villain. Serving Immortan to get her revenge. and Fury Road is her redemtion story where she turns on Joe and takes away his most treasured property.
i can tell you this what set this movie apart from fury road. While in fury road is how would you survive in the wasteland, in Furiosa is how would you live.
@alexpereira6528 I would say 12-14 years give or take depending on if you take into account when actors were cast or when filming began. Which was 2012 when filming for Fury Road took place
Although I liked hearing Immortan Joes younger voice in other scenes I really like that they kept his voice closer to Hugh Keays-Byrnes for this particular scene. Hearing him yell "you are awaited!" literally gave me goosebumps, like hearing an old friend again lol
Poor marketing. Looks really cheap in the trailers. Boy do I regret not seeing this in the cinemas, my brother did and he said it was awesome. I can only imagine, maybe same with how I felt about Mad Max: Fury Road when I watched it in the cinema. A movie that should be watched in the theaters.
@@johnlucas6683Wow!! It's a shame because now they might not make Mad Max Wasteland because of the poor box office. I wish I would have seen Fury Road in the theaters.
Probably because they told us from the jump that it was a mad max movie that had nothing to do with mad max and was in fact about a 90 pound female girlboss. Lmao people are tired of it
@mariosanchezgumiel7757 you're absolutely 100% right, her second character is mr. Norton. The funny thing in this scene is that real Richard Norton is standing near Immortal Joe. I really admire this Australian actor
Holy crap......I was today years old when I learnt that she played Mr Norton as well as the Vuvalini sharpshooter, thanks to that hair and makeup she was absolutely unrecognisable! Wow, her and Chris must have had some laughs on set when both fully costumed lol
It gave me a good chuckle that the war boys wouldn't miss an opportunity to swoop in with the cranes like hungry gulls and loot their motorcycles even in the midst of battle. 😂
The character was featured in the Mad max game Warner brothers made and in there is a wasteland mission where this women called Hope sends you to find a vehicle of a old biker warlord she use to ride with called "Dr Dementus" and when you go to his tomb grave and look on the wall you find drawing of his biker gang raiding Gastown and the 40 day wasteland war its like a spoiler to furiosa-
How exactly did they expect to get them from the walls? I mean, I guess he tried to get the people to rise up, but I’m pretty sure everybody up top is down for Immortan joe
They didn't know about the Citadel, Immortan Joe or his kamakrazee war boys. He probably thought he could intimidate and get some to turn like he had in past encounters, only to fail miserably.
@@CliffordBreeden Why didn't they know about the Citadel? No scouting party of reconnaissance? When they attacked the oil city they scouted it from a distance.
@@ceesmithIt’s probable that they scouted ahead precisely because of what happened at the Citadel. I think they probably got complacent after while and the Citadel was a wake up call.
@@Sagittarian1202 In the Mad Max video game Scrotus is more like Ricktus, he's huge but has to wear an oxygen bottle all the time, but he's definitely smarter and crueler than Rictus. I get the feeling Immortan Joe keeps Rictus close at hand because he's not good for much else than being a bodyguard. In the game Scrotus is the general overlord of gastown, attacking all the factions not allied with Joe and wiping out all resistance.
Blame WB/Avalanche for that. I love the game, but they just took Miller's notebooks and cobbled their own story up from it. So a lot of things are from like concept designs and what not.
4:27 Note the meat hanging on the hooks next to the old Wretched woman. Not a lot of sources of meat in the wasteland. There's little doubt of what they wanted a fresh child for.
While never really overtly suicidal, Dementus repeatedly throughout the movie demonstrates a suicidal level of overconfidence. You could argue hes just an impulsive gang leader trying to coast by on audacity, but with his conversation with Furioa at the climax i think on some level he wants to die.
Actually there’s a theory they were trying to save her from dementus here and they were actually healing her arm when she was taken into their cave due to maggots actually being a very good way to clean a wound
4:33 I feel as though this moment is kinda paramount for this movie cuz it displays that even tho Furiosa is nothing more than war spoils for him, he still sees her as his. Not someone to be taken but someone that he sees value in. He may not know the full value of her but he still recognizes it is there and this is seen later in his negotiations with Immortan Joe
He raised her as a daughter, likely to take over his legacy. Plus the whole "pure child" thing is extra precious so he clearly sees her as an investment. Later on he's right because in trading he cashes her in as part of negotiations to get gas town.
Dementus had a daughter who was killed. Throughout the whole film there are moments where Dementus is seriously struggling not only with the loss of his family but also the new status quo of this world. I think Furiosa simply represents everything he lost.
I thought he kept her around as weird fucked up way to cope with the loss of his family, even if it was only subconsciously. Like he obviously didn’t treat her like a real daughter but it was clear that Furiosa reminded him of her somewhat. He also seemed genuinely hurt by her “choice” to stay with Joe at the citadel when he snatched the teddy bear he gave Furiosa back as if he were an immature child. Like he was using Furiosa to fill a void inside him that could never be replicated again by anyone other then his real daughter, but he kept Furiosa around just to even feel a fragment of that “stability” from his old life, when it was just him and his family.
I love that the Warboyz and the Citadel shows their true power in this movie, and that they didn't surrender to Dementus. That would damage the concept we have since Fury Road; even better, this shows how HARD was to Furiosa, Max, the wives and the Many Mothers to fight againts them.
This scene was so cool. I didnt expect to see Immortan in this movie and I was so hyped when they went to Citadel. They made look Immortan so sick I love this
Yeah the only real complaint is the god awful CGI the other movie had practical effects complimented with some CGI but this movie felt they did the opposite Other than that the movie was pretty good
972 well trained cult warriors is pretty damn impressive all things considers in universe; I honestly thought there wasn't enough humans within hundreds of thousands of miles to get that many, let alone the sheer size of Dementas' army and the populations of The Citadel, Gas Town and The Bullet Farm until I watched this movie and this scene in particular. Just pretty damn impressive all round.
I`m sure Dementus is an amalgamation of the Toecutter and Lord Humungous. He has the musclebound physique and mic skills of Humungous. And the motorcycle and whistling abilities of Toecutter
Love how Dementus is an amazing Warchief, but a shitty leader. The wasteland can be glad, he and Immortan met each other as adversaries. Dementus in the field and Joe in the citadel would have been a sight to see!
2:00 is the guy on the right suppose to be Nux or at least a nod to him? Same boil on his neck and kinda looks similar. Maybe before he was really sick.
Dementus is a tactical genius but strategic idiot, and Immortan Joe is both a tactical and strategic genius. But Furiosa is heroic for having a combination of tactical, strategic and empathetic thinking.
I finally watched this and I have to admit that it was as good as Fury Road. The video clips I had seen earlier made me doubt it but I was wrong. You need to see it in good picture quality. It doesn't look cartoonish at all. I didn't even think about the whole thing when the movie pulled me in. George Miller did it again!
This is some of the most whacked out futuristic action pulp I've ever seen. What makes it different is that it's pure primitive STEAMPUNK gone loco. Works great.
I love the villain vs villain trope. We always see the good guys trying to avoid conflicts or risking themselves to help others. But here, we see two ruthless leaders ready for blood and casually sending their pawns to their deaths.
Only a true villain could name their son Scrotus.
Yeah, really underused movie trope, wish we had more. It’s like seeing two sharks trying to size each other up before all hell breaks loose.
@@jjones9822 Exactly 😂
Its like Stalim Vs Hitler. One of them has to die.

Probably because they told us from the jump that it was a mad max movie that had nothing to do with mad max and was in fact about a 90 pound female girlboss. Lmao people are tired of it
The woman biker, Mr. Norton, is Chris Hemsworth's wife IRL 😂
Nah, Elza Pataki played another role in this movie.
@@АндрейВласенко-и4н She played two roles, though I think the woman biker is not credited.
@mariosanchezgumiel7757 you're absolutely 100% right, her second character is mr. Norton. The funny thing in this scene is that real Richard Norton is standing near Immortal Joe. I really admire this Australian actor
Holy crap......I was today years old when I learnt that she played Mr Norton as well as the Vuvalini sharpshooter, thanks to that hair and makeup she was absolutely unrecognisable! Wow, her and Chris must have had some laughs on set when both fully costumed lol
WITNESS MEEEE!!!!
This movie was such a ride in theaters!
It gave me a good chuckle that the war boys wouldn't miss an opportunity to swoop in with the cranes like hungry gulls and loot their motorcycles even in the midst of battle. 😂
Fun fact Rizzdale Pell (0:39 guy just to the right of Dementus) also plays Immortan Joe in this one
Dementhor stole the movie, i want a spinn off of him. Chris did a perfect job.
He already has as Thor
Mad max : dementus
@@avay8726 Mad Max: ME
Making secondary characters the main focus becomes a tradition in Mad Max movies
The character was featured in the Mad max game Warner brothers made and in there is a wasteland mission where this women called Hope sends you to find a vehicle of a old biker warlord she use to ride with called "Dr Dementus" and when you go to his tomb grave and look on the wall you find drawing of his biker gang raiding Gastown and the 40 day wasteland war its like a spoiler to furiosa-
Friendly reminder that Chris Hemsworth isn’t putting on an accent, for once. He actually is Australian.
I get that it wouldn't have worked for the tone or pacing for the War Boy to say, "my right or your right?" but I was still kinda hoping for it.
1:25 it dosn't matter what type of movie Miller does. he will always put an adorkable maniac
4:47 Gladiator: Mad Max Saga
How exactly did they expect to get them from the walls? I mean, I guess he tried to get the people to rise up, but I’m pretty sure everybody up top is down for Immortan joe
They didn't know about the Citadel, Immortan Joe or his kamakrazee war boys. He probably thought he could intimidate and get some to turn like he had in past encounters, only to fail miserably.
@@CliffordBreeden oh yeah, that makes sense
@@CliffordBreeden Why didn't they know about the Citadel? No scouting party of reconnaissance? When they attacked the oil city they scouted it from a distance.
@@ceesmithIt’s probable that they scouted ahead precisely because of what happened at the Citadel. I think they probably got complacent after while and the Citadel was a wake up call.
@@carlosrrullanlind1067 ah ok I haven't seen the film and thought the oil city was before the citadel.
0:36 "Then there's Mr. Harely and Mr. Davidson." Lol
Scabrous Scrotus and his Apostles of Awful!
He isn’t like his gaming counterpart, but it was nice to see him in the movie.
I haven't played it but the character art for the game seemed a lot more generic wastelander. I'm glad they made him more unique in this
@@Sagittarian1202 In the Mad Max video game Scrotus is more like Ricktus, he's huge but has to wear an oxygen bottle all the time, but he's definitely smarter and crueler than Rictus. I get the feeling Immortan Joe keeps Rictus close at hand because he's not good for much else than being a bodyguard. In the game Scrotus is the general overlord of gastown, attacking all the factions not allied with Joe and wiping out all resistance.
Also the Mad max game is kinda like a spoiler for furiosa cuz it shows the biker warlord dementus already but it’s not canon
Blame WB/Avalanche for that. I love the game, but they just took Miller's notebooks and cobbled their own story up from it. So a lot of things are from like concept designs and what not.
@@meanmichael6348 Yes. It's canon. George Miller himself said so.
4:27 Note the meat hanging on the hooks next to the old Wretched woman. Not a lot of sources of meat in the wasteland. There's little doubt of what they wanted a fresh child for.
Good catch. Fresh meat.
I think they were astonished by seeing a full-life child down here
They don't eat the hanging meat, it's a maggot farm
Chad Immortan vs Virgin Dementus
While never really overtly suicidal, Dementus repeatedly throughout the movie demonstrates a suicidal level of overconfidence. You could argue hes just an impulsive gang leader trying to coast by on audacity, but with his conversation with Furioa at the climax i think on some level he wants to die.
"THEN THERE'S MR HARLEY!"
"G'day mate."
Lol.
"My name is Scrotus" he said proudly 😂😂😂
I just realized the couple that tried to drag Furiosa into that hole was the same couple that tried to rot her later in the film
Actually there’s a theory they were trying to save her from dementus here and they were actually healing her arm when she was taken into their cave due to maggots actually being a very good way to clean a wound
They put maggots in Furiosa's wound to prevent it from becoming gangrenous and probably wanted to adopt her.
I feel like they wanted to adopt her because of how “Untouched” aka healthy she looked, hoping she could get them a spot on the top in the future.
4:33 I feel as though this moment is kinda paramount for this movie cuz it displays that even tho Furiosa is nothing more than war spoils for him, he still sees her as his. Not someone to be taken but someone that he sees value in. He may not know the full value of her but he still recognizes it is there and this is seen later in his negotiations with Immortan Joe
2:38 The collective "Wtf" face they all sport is -golden- shiny and chrome.
*Literally the most witnessed death of any War Boy in the history of the wasteland*
The People Eater: AMONG US
4:00…..Oye….quite stealin’ me wizard!
Can't wait for the emu war documentary
The war boy who did his job is a G.
Imagine people complain about cgi in scenes like this. Seriously???
He’s truly awaited in Valhalla, shiny and chrome!
I just realized that the War Boy who showed Dementus’ gang the Citadel was the one trying to bring up the bike Furiosa was caged in.
he looks closer to thor in this scene that he ever did in marvel XD
Can we appreciate that George Miller actually incorporated Scabarus Scrotus from the Mad Max game. This universe is fully of crazy villain names…
Footage of an Australian town voting for mayor.
With three words Immortan can command a suicide charge. Dementus knew he was cooked.
*YOU, ARE AWAITED*
i'm confused, is Dementus saving Furiosa because he "cares" about her, or, does he really like blood sausages?
He raised her as a daughter, likely to take over his legacy. Plus the whole "pure child" thing is extra precious so he clearly sees her as an investment. Later on he's right because in trading he cashes her in as part of negotiations to get gas town.
@@tanadarko6991 dementus is opportunistic. i think, in his own twisted mind, he cares about her.
He's hoping that she'll still lead them to The Green Place eventually.
Dementus had a daughter who was killed. Throughout the whole film there are moments where Dementus is seriously struggling not only with the loss of his family but also the new status quo of this world.
I think Furiosa simply represents everything he lost.
I thought he kept her around as weird fucked up way to cope with the loss of his family, even if it was only subconsciously. Like he obviously didn’t treat her like a real daughter but it was clear that Furiosa reminded him of her somewhat.
He also seemed genuinely hurt by her “choice” to stay with Joe at the citadel when he snatched the teddy bear he gave Furiosa back as if he were an immature child.
Like he was using Furiosa to fill a void inside him that could never be replicated again by anyone other then his real daughter, but he kept Furiosa around just to even feel a fragment of that “stability” from his old life, when it was just him and his family.
I love that the Warboyz and the Citadel shows their true power in this movie, and that they didn't surrender to Dementus. That would damage the concept we have since Fury Road; even better, this shows how HARD was to Furiosa, Max, the wives and the Many Mothers to fight againts them.
This scene was so cool.
I didnt expect to see Immortan in this movie and I was so hyped when they went to Citadel.
They made look Immortan so sick I love this
…You didn’t expect him to appear? Are you joking or…?
Yeah the only real complaint is the god awful CGI the other movie had practical effects complimented with some CGI but this movie felt they did the opposite
Other than that the movie was pretty good
@@angryvaultguy
I honestly didnt realize cg when I watched in the cinema except 1 scene. I am surprised how youtube video makes CG much more evident
972 well trained cult warriors is pretty damn impressive all things considers in universe; I honestly thought there wasn't enough humans within hundreds of thousands of miles to get that many, let alone the sheer size of Dementas' army and the populations of The Citadel, Gas Town and The Bullet Farm until I watched this movie and this scene in particular.
Just pretty damn impressive all round.
Dementus, who is a man, attacks the citadel
Albeit foolishly and lost a chunk of his men but I digress.
Scrotus and Rectus lol
I love how the war boy being chosen to sacrifice himself is essentially Thulsa Doom’s “Riddle of steel” scene from Conan the Barbarian
You knew Dementus was cooked when nobody came to help him save Furiosa, except his Smeg.
Scrotus looks VERY different to how he did in the game lol
I`m sure Dementus is an amalgamation of the Toecutter and Lord Humungous. He has the musclebound physique and mic skills of Humungous. And the motorcycle and whistling abilities of Toecutter
0:19 this feels like a wrestling promo
1:58 I love the details of some War Boys having enlarged lymph nodes in their necks since they have cancer. It's more prevalent in Fury Road.
That’s Stifler, even that 1800cc BMW pales in frame besides him 😂
May the scene ride with us shiny and chrome eternally on the highways of our memories
Lmao that one dude who said good day m8!
Dementus - HEY
Oh how he was a fool to pick on Immortan Joe and the Warboys even though
Love how Dementus is an amazing Warchief, but a shitty leader.
The wasteland can be glad, he and Immortan met each other as adversaries.
Dementus in the field and Joe in the citadel would have been a sight to see!
2:00 is the guy on the right suppose to be Nux or at least a nod to him? Same boil on his neck and kinda looks similar. Maybe before he was really sick.
Its him
@@caligula7117 isn't he supposed to be younger than Furiosa?
Dementus is a tactical genius but strategic idiot, and Immortan Joe is both a tactical and strategic genius. But Furiosa is heroic for having a combination of tactical, strategic and empathetic thinking.
Mr. Harley, and Mr.Davidson.
Took me three watches to get it.
I finally watched this and I have to admit that it was as good as Fury Road. The video clips I had seen earlier made me doubt it but I was wrong. You need to see it in good picture quality. It doesn't look cartoonish at all. I didn't even think about the whole thing when the movie pulled me in. George Miller did it again!
"I am Scrotus and I am Erectus . . .and now we are going to kill you" . . .one of the funniest lines in the whole movie . . .
This is some of the most whacked out futuristic action pulp I've ever seen. What makes it different is that it's pure primitive STEAMPUNK gone loco. Works great.
4:09 This scene reminds me of Captain America pulling Helicopter
The guy with his nipple clamps is hilarious.
To name your son Scrotus is truly nasty work lol
Did anyone else think of Paddington 2 when Dementus was introducing all his friends?
I like how they brought back the guy who played nux friend in the war boys to play scrotus.
Ha! Is that Slit? I see it now but never would have known. Thanks!
@@MH-ro1lg Yeah Slit lol. The guy is a great actor though. Plays chuckler I think in the pacific aswell.
