  • Does the failure of Furiosa signal a bigger crisis in Hollwood? Will complaining about "toxic fans" protect The Acolyte? And why on Earth is Tom Bombadil showing up in Rings of Power? Join me, MauLer, Reaper, DDayCobra, Jedi Brooks and MetalCommander as we find out.

    New movies are flopping because people have no faith that they will be entertained by these movies. You can't release terrible movie after terrible movie and not expect it to have an effect on the audience. It's like a restaurant giving everyone food poisoning for 5 years straight and then wondering why nobody shows up anymore.

    He’s so wowed by her that he asks her to marry him and she says “marriage is a construct for men to have possession over women” and Tom says “wow you’re so brave and smart” and they form a non-marital partnerdhip based purely on mutual respect… even though she shows him none in the show itself.

    The dealing with her arm could have been solved so much better: her arm gets caught between the two huge cars/rigs and gets crushed. You can obviously see that it's broken in multiple places, but there isn't that much blood. She escapes and puts a bandage on it, or for more dramatic effect she could put a tourniquet above the wound. When she finally makes it to the camp and they have a look at the arm, it's broken so badly and/or has started to die due to the tourniquet, that they can't save it and it has to be amputated. Cut to a scene where she's showing severe mental trauma, but then focuses on revenge and realises she needs a prosthetic, so she starts developing one and after a few attempts ends up with the iconic one.
    This sequence would establish multiple things:
    1. It shows how tough and resilient she is when suffering such an injuring and still escaping.
    2. It shows that she has a vulnerable side with the trauma of losing her arm.
    3. It shows she can bounce back from that trauma.
    4. The multiple attempts ending in the iconic prosthetic shows she really IS a competent engineer.

    It seems to me that there is a logic which explains the failure of all these woke and overly feminist and inclusive films. Mad Max, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Superheroes, Ring Of Power, etc... are all films made primarily for men. As simple as that. Men geeks in particular. Of course women can find satisfaction there. But the target audience will always be young men. So... if you do everything in your power to displease and exclude your target audience, why then be surprised at the lack of success? Helloooo...? Who, in his or her right mind, can expect lines and lines of women waiting outside movie theaters to see a Mad Max movie starring a woman? Obviously not. But did you really have to waste all that time and money to figure it out?
    The same goes for the wasted Acolyte.
    Star Wars is primarily for men. All the better if women love it. So much the better if we include more and more female roles. Of course. But Star Wars is for men first. There will never be a crowd of women fighting for a seat to see a Star Wars movie. So, if you are stubborn about wanting to make a Star Wars story with only girl bosses and where the men are mere foils.... well, there you have it. See for yourself.
    The problem is that the damage is done. People no longer trust woke Hollywood. A movie like ''Fall Guy'' won't attract anyone. Women won't go see an action movie and men will say that it's probably still woke stupidity.
    Too bad. But remember, Hollywood & Disney:
    You wanted this.

I shouldn’t give them ideas. Who knows, maybe they already have! I haven’t watched disney Star Wars in years now.

    I dont think bombadil is necessarily a waste of time in the books. He illustrates that there are powerful forces in the world that could defeat the evils in the world but dont because they are simply not concerned about it whether for the right reasons or not. They can just live in their own little space protected by their power and ability and not watch as the world burns until it burns them and theirs.
    At the end of the return of the king gandalf refers to bombadil as a rock that has sat and gathered moss, while gandalf was himself a rolling stone.
    (I just listened to the books on tape, i think the hobbit and the fellowship were the strongest books and by the end of return of the king it started getting a little boring. Tolkein starts padding words more and more starting about halfway through book 2, especially with names. He refered to people by their full family reference like 6 times in one paragraph one time

    Part of the reason we go to the cinema less is the cost. I end up paying for five people which ends up to be $50 for tickets and $30 for popcorn and drinks. So it competes with streaming in a few weeks for free/$15 per month vs $80 for seeing in the theatre as well as other activities. This means that if there is any reason to not go we don’t go.

    People would have the same feelings if there was a second Judge Dread movie off the new movie but following his partner from the first. It’s been too long and bait and switch will be a no go.

      I don’t like people who haven’t seen the movie are just assuming it’s mega woke because of a female lead when i didn’t see any of that.
      My biggest gripe is missing the war between dementus and Immortan. She kind of just hangs around in the citadel and then goes off to get Dementus when he’s lost the war to Immortan. I would have liked to see the war going on, not just flash forward to the end.

      it's not a bad movie, but it's a weird movie. It feels like a low-budget movie because they talk about all the big events instead of showing them, but then they clearly spent too much money on special effects which is why it's a financial flop.
      Fury Road i love because it's just a simple action movie. It's a fantastic chase sequence built around a simple but easily understood plot. It's not the smartest movie, but there's nothing about it that makes you go 'wait, what?' while you enjoy the spectacle of it
      Furiosa is just, like, the opposite of that. The plot is way too bloated and it just becomes a distraction from what should be a fairly braindead action movie. That's always been the appeal of Mad Max, to see how batshit insane it gets... except for Furiosa, which sidelines the action for world building.... i just don't understand the thought process that went in to that movie.

    Going to the cinema is a stressful time-commitment, putting us at the risk of other strangers, in a dubious locale, for an ever increasing price-tag.
    It's just not worth it. Same reason blockbuster died. Same reason gamestop's going under. Just like every other obsolete product, it's been replaced by a cheaper and/or more convenient option.

    Furiosa also made the Mad Max game canon which is awesome.
