Fun fact: the actor who played Immortan Joe, is the same actor who played the main villain in the original Mad Max
True!
Hugh Keays-Byrne was a true treasure. RIP.
Neat
Wow! That’s so cool
Yep, The Toecutter
I'd wager that Immortan Joe swerved to avoid Angharad not because he had any deep feelings for her, but because she was carrying his child. Another part of his personality not mentioned in his video is that he has passed over Rictus Erectus as the heir of his kingdom. Rictus, while being physically imposing, is in no position to lead the kingdom, as he suffers from an intellectual disability. So losing Angharad was losing Joe's last chance at producing a viable heir.
And Corpus Colossus is really smart but a vegetable
I thought that was pretty obvious and self evident? There was no other reason to put her out of all the wives out there like that.
@@voicelessglottalfricative6567 A vegetable is someone with no brain function. Corpus is smart but physically deformed
@@LordVader1094 Ah, apologies. He's smart but literally can't move.
i thought this was what we were already supposed to think lmao
Wait? So this guy trained a lizard to carry rope up walls because he read it in a book one time and it actually worked?
This guy's awesome!
He……he’s a rapist
@@FirstLast-bs8cb yeah yeah but he's still an awesome villain
@@FirstLast-bs8cb But he trained a lizard to carry rope up walls because he read it in a book one time.
So... All forgiven?
@@judeconnor-macintyre9874 He means a good villain. Not a good person.
@@judeconnor-macintyre9874 Yes, he was right to rule with an iron fist for that feat alone.
I feel that his costume design is worthy of becoming as iconic and fitting to his respective world/franchise as Darth Vader/Sauron/Davy Jones/Voldemort, etc. It’s so fresh and unique and badass
Well, he did literally base his costume on Darth Vader. Star Wars was out by the time the Mad Max world went to shit.
“May you ride eternal, shiny and chrome” best quote in the movie
"You can't handle the water!" - Colonel Joe
Witness me, bloodbag! WITNESS!!

Major props to Hugh Keays-Byrne who played Immortan Joe and Toecutter, the main villain from the 1st Mad Max movie.
And a big "Rest In Peace" as well 🙏
I was blown away that they brought him back to play another role.
@@WarbroJavaCo he's passed away?
@@an-animal-lover Unfortunately: in late 2020
@@an-animal-lover Sadly yes. Two years ago
I KNEW Mad Max was the long awaited sequel to A Few Good Men!
How??
@@HILAL19564 the vile eye made an error in the title which was about colonel jessup from a few good men and this user made a joke about it
@@uncle5164 lol I totally misunderstood 🤣🤣good joke. I thought this guy was thinking immortan Joe was next to be analyzed after Jessup..I was like how could you know.. I mixed sequel up hadn't read it good I guess
You can't handle Valhalla!
Lol
Jack Nicholson truly was the highlight of Fury Road.
Wait. THE Jack Nicholson was in the movie? 😲
@@ultraviolet.catastrophe Not really. When this first posted the title incorrectly said it was about Jack Nicholson's character from A Few Good Men.
@@ultraviolet.catastrophe 😂
Colonel Jessup fell hard after the trial.
@@TheVileEye lol
Truly my favorite Mad Max villain of all-time, it’s really cemented when he yells about how Max can’t handle the truth
Well now all the Few Good Men jokes don’t make sense
...just walk away...
Those of us who were here will always know the greatness of these comments.
of all time- aka of 3 movies. hyperbolic description dude
@@Th3BigBoy wtf are you even talking about?
@@CSM100MK2 No.
Apparently Colonel Jessup took that court room embarrassment hard. Look what the stress did to his health.
Also Immortan Joe: "You look amazing! You all look AMAZING!"
Ah yes! Colonel Jessup from Mad Max! I was so waiting for this!
Fun Fact: For the movie, editor Margaret Sixel had roughly 470 hours of footage to edit. Watching it took three months.
It was also her first time ever doing such a job apparently. And the director chose that for her on purpose so she didnt have any preconceived notions about how its supposed to be done.
This makes me wanna read that comic now! Fury Road was one of the best action films ever made

Immortan Joe is a good representation of the type of actions and systems that would need to be put into place to establish a semblance of order in a post-apocalyptic environment. Everyone always wants to be the badass loner but I think a no-rules environment like the apocalypse would be open season for those with the ambition & strength to rule over others more-so than anything else.
Mad Max is a good example of what happens when the state fails. Try to be a loner in a stateless society and good luck trying to survive for one week.
Shhhh!
Stop spilling secrets.
There is basically nothing anywhere yet he somehow managed to secure water, food, weapons, logistics and workers in a literal wasteland, not a small task.
I mean, this should be pretty obvious. The only lot stories you ever hear about a hero is the stories of their death. More than one is always going to be just that, more than one. Loners get buried, usually by two or more people.
"Immortan Joe is a good representation of the type of actions and systems that would need to be put into place to establish a semblance of order in a post-apocalyptic environment."
The movie literally espouses the exact opposite message, painting the wasteland as infested by moral anarchy which breeds iron-fisted theocratic dictators, whereas people like Max and Furiosa seek to re-establish the old, nearly fallen, modern idea of law and stability founded upon human rights.
Immortan Joe wouldn’t have had this problem if he was nice to his women
One of the greatest villains in the past 10 years. Love your work! Can't wait for the Cartman episode!
Immortan Joe IS Toecutter. Toecutter survived being hit by the tractor trailer, and the survivors from the toecutter gang (the ones who fell into tje river) nursed him back to health. After this he fought in the wars, using his given name. Note Toecutters megalomaniacal personality, the way he controlled the gang members was in a "because I say so, and I am your god" manner. Toecutter and Immortan Joe have identical personalities, use identical methods to control their people, look the same, AND have perfectly matching timelines. Immortan Joe and Toecutter are one and the same...
I support and love this Theory, it's a popular one 😊
I personally agree, as opinion. However, it can be arguable. For instance, look at The Gyro Captain and Jedediah, both played by Bruce Spence, same look and similar in task bur are different characters.
I also love and Support this Theory
Title says "Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men" but I was really happy to see this is Immorton Joe. Media Zealot also has a really good video on this guy
Rationing the water is pretty smart for a lot of reasons.
Immortan Joe is the picture of what happens too dictators to themselves and those who they abuse and that is they turn and become rotten both inside and out and it is funny that the object of his demise was one of his former wives named Furoisa.
Here are a few suggestions for your next video VE:
-The NFFA from the Purge franchise(Film)
-Handsome Jack from Borderlands(Video Game)
-Obadiah Hakeswill from the Sharpe series(TV Show)
Video: Immortan Joe from Mad Max: Fury Road
Title: Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men
Me: “MEDIOCRE!!!!”
With the Terrifier 2 just released an analyzing evil of Art the clown would be sick. Also Pearl would be a really good one too!
One of my favorite movies of all time. The stunt actors and practical effects in this are amazing. Joe is a great villain.
I didn't even know how badly I wanted to see Joe covered up until I started watching this. I love your work, please don't ever change.
Just finished The Menu and couldn't help thinking Julian Slowik would be such a good evil analysis. Please consider him for a video!!
I would find this interesting because it could be argued he was the only good guy (besides Anya)
Also from the same year: Steve from the movie Fresh, both Steve and Slowik could be great for Analyzing Evil.
well look at that, lucky duck 😂💕
Mad max fury road has to be my favourite action movie, this movie was ridiculously good and it revived the iconic mad max franchise. Can’t wait for the sequel
Immortan joe and Toecutter were played by Hugh Keays Byrne may he RIP.
Its getting a sequel or are you saying you wish for one?
@@realamericannegro977 well there were 2 movies that were announced. One being a sequel and the other being a furiosa prequel
@@General_D1 oh man, I thought that was folks putting fan fiction on youtube. I am ready for Max's sequels.
Furiosa in less than a week!
My knowledge of films isn't too good, but I don't think this is Colonel Jessup
One of my favorite movie villains behind Spike from The Little Giants. He spoke in the third person. The epitome of villainy
Something interesting about fury road is the treadmill used to raise and lower the platform was actually used in early Australian penal colonies as a punishment for convicts who stepped out of line, who had to continuously march on the treadmill for a prolonged amount of time
A great breakdown as always. The only thing I would disagree with was Joe's love for any of his wives. Joe seemed to only care about power and his legacy. Given his age and health I believe he called the wife that died his favorite because he viewed her as not only the most beautiful of his wives but also the healthiest, meaning his best chance for a male heir. Even as he chased after the War Rig he shouts at her that the child was his property and once the child was dead it dashed most likely his last best chance at a healthy heir. We can guess this because you look at Joe's army and he had many great warriors Furiosa was definitely his best as her skill and abilities are shown through the whole film. But you look at the War Rigs second in command as he was not only a capable commander organizing the War Boys giving orders to them and spotting weaknesses to defeat the Buzzards. Then you have Slick who was noth only a capable warrior but had great abilities such as him boosting a War car during the final chase. The best of all the War Boys was Nucks as we see while near death he was not only determined to go out for one final battle but we see his abilities at driving given his War Car which lost a wheel yet he was still able to catch up to Furiousa, get on the War Rig, and even drive the Rig when many couldn't if it was for their crazed devotion to Joe his army would have been greater than we see in the film. But that's also why he cares nothing for anyone but himself and his heir because when Nucks messed up and fell on the Rig, Joe left him in disgust yet as the wives not only care for each other, but Furiousa, and Max and even Nucks we see the War Boy leave Joe's army to stay with our heros. So that's why I say Joe cared for nothing other than his power and heir.
He cared for them since he was prying after one of his wives died.
He wouldnt be prying if he didnt care
@@vampirecount3880he discarded Angharad’s body in the desert with Miss Giddy in a deleted scene, he didn’t even bury her, and she was his favorite. He only cared about their ability to produce children, he didn’t care about them as people, if he did they wouldn’t have been unwilling captives.
@@ultraviolet540 he didn't discard her body. it was a deleted scene. and it was deleted for a reason since it didn't fit with the movie. he clearly loved his wives.
I love your content so keep grinding. This movie is a masterpiece. It’s the greatest action movie in the last 10 years, easily.
I have a theory that "Toecutter" from the first Mad Max movie is Immortan Joe, that would mean that Toecutter was Colonel Joseph Moore. This would also explain his bike gang in the first movie...
...And yes I made this theory up cause they were both played by the same person.
Colonel Jessep is looking mighty different from the last time I saw him.
Dude, your writing is absolutely incredible. It can't be understated, how perfectly and delicately you phrase every sentence. Incredible work, you're a total legend. Easily one of my favoite TH-cam channels. Fantastic to fall asleep to!

I rewatch Mad Max: Fury Road often because of his character honestly, it is genuinely intriguing and interesting to see.
Analysing evil: Hitler1 from ww2
I'm just here before he changes the wrong title.
Same 😂
Immortal colonel from a few good mad Max's men
@@feckoffthePRvillain or is it Colonel Joe from A Few Mad Men?🤣
World's second most insane dictator Colonel
You have the best scripts and cadence for any video essays on TH-cam I stg much love many inspire
Nah y'all don't get it, immortan Joe is who colonel jessup evolved into after the apocalypse that's all 😅
Now that Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is out, Immortan Joe will probably get a Redux video covering his depiction in that film as well as the prequel comic and Mad Max: Fury Road respectively.
Honestly, I don't much see how Immortan Joe could have improved the situation without violating the integrity of what the War Boys, which is the only thing theoretically maintaining peace in that region. Sure, his side hustle was bad, but overall he accomplished a lot with very little and made it work despite the overall condition of the world working against such a feat.
Could he have been more giving to others? Sure, but at what risk to the security forces (the War Boys and the other enclaves) that help maintain general safety and stability? Could he have resorted to something a bit less like slavery? Yes, but it would fail the moment someone/anyone said "no" and that might cause the whole system to collapse. Did he really need to make himself out to be a god? Of course not... but then could he really be sure the War Boys would fight as hard as they needed to in order to be successful if they didn't think they were fighting for a god in the wastelands? The *only* thing that can't readily be excused is his improprieties towards some of the pups and the wives, but even then they were a fine stock of breeders and could/would have been victimized by other gangs far worse off than the War Boys, as the other films showed. It's dark and twisted, but of all the people to fall victim of such a crime to, Immortan Joe was likely the lesser evil/better option. At least he'd keep them fed and hydrated, and even educated. It's a rough setting with a rough world, and Immortan Joe was a rough guy... but everything considered, he made the most of it.
I think joes reign will be like that of Ceasar except in a much more horrible wasteland, after his death the small but somewhat prosperous region will probaly collapse and join the rest of the wasteland in desolation.
I agree with this guy he was fucked in alot of way but I feel like it was necessary. Sure he was a brutal dude before hand and probably even crazier after years of being a "demi god" or whatever but he rationed resources to people, he was giving water to mutants and other undesirable s on a daily basis and maintained a society in a supremely fucked up world. Which is kinda... good? The guys they were fighting didn't seem any better TBH. He had to keep up.
Immortan Joe: Whatta name!
It’s like a name for a more competent and formidable opponent for Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!
Just found this series and been binging it for a week or so now. These are so well done and I love that you've went over most of the classics. Do you take suggestions? If so the Reapers from Mass Effect would be an interesting one.
This video definitely needs an update/followup after Furiosa's film. Really fleshes out Joe as a character.
Possibly one of the most best designed villain of whole time
I think Atia from hbo's Rome would make a great addition to your channel also great VID
You should do Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter, I think she's super similar to someone like Nurse Ratched except to a way higher extent.
oh HELL YEAH, wake up babe new analyzing evil vid just dropped
Should do the toe cutter too. Hugh Keyes Byrne was awesome!
such a good story between the Crow Fishers to the Aqua Cola and McDonald's references like "word burgers or McFeasting" the Nomenclatures are hilarious but sensible when you look at society and how euphemisms and colloquialisms are so creative and fresh
Day 51 of asking the vile eye to do a video on Ra's Al Ghul from Nolans batman
Ra's Al Ghul wasn't evil, he was trying to do what was best for the world.
Commisioner Gordon though, that's an evil man.
@@UP4NONE and bruce, the most evil of all 🤣🤣
Am I the only one who thinks of a rat when looking at Joe's mask?
I can't unsee it.
His mask is decorated with horse teeth.
So that's what really happened to Jessup after the trial?
He told them they were messing with the wrong Marine.
I really think you should remaster this analysis because there’s a lot more to his character and mentality. I can help
Loved the vid! Can next be Koba from the Planet of the Apes series?
Since youve done an analysis on Hannibal lector what about one on buffalo bill? I recently rewatched silence of the lambs and after the movie ended I couldn't help but wonder more about him and his phychy
One suggestion I have is Hal aka Titan/Tighten from Megamind. On the surface, he is a meek, dim witted dork. But once he get powers, he reveals himself to be an entitled, violet (but still dimwitted) bully. Compare that to the title character, who plays the classic super villain but there’s never a real sense he was out to hurt anyone, especially Roxanne.
And as Cinema Therapy has analyzed, Hal/Tighten/Titan is also a disturbingly accurate depiction of a "Nice Guy": Hal was superficially polite to Roxanne and as such, he thinks himself entitled to sex just for being superficially polite, but his mind doesn't register Roxanne as a person, but as a prize to be won. Hell, he doesn't even know Roxanne's hobbies and preferences. When he gets powers, he expected Roxanne to fall into his lap with no effort of his part and when that didn't happen, he threw the equivalent of a massive tantrum.
I saw this after watching the prequel, where, true to what the comics you are referencing imply, Joe is a much more competent leader on a normal day. It shows how his arrogance and desire to leave behind a legacy clouded his judgement. He is capable of being pragmatic, until you steal what he most values for building his legacy.
I'd love to see an analysing evil on Jonas Venture or The Mighty Monarch from "The Venture Bros"
Dunno if the lack of a final season would hamper that though.
I would like to recommend the following characters:
Bane from The Dark Knight Rises
Tuco Salamanca from Breaking Bad
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7
Baldur from God of War 2018
Sauron from The Lord of the Rings
Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter
I've been hoping for Tuco for a while
@@an-animal-lover Me too.
Fun fact...Immortan Joe was played by Toecutter himself...Hugh Keays-Byrne (1947 - 2020)
Really I never knew that thanks for the info.👍
The ending of Fury Road is mellon collie, the Citadel was going to fall by week's end. Sure there was plenty of water, but his hydroponic garden surely wouldn't have enough food to last
Mad Max can’t handle the truth!
crazy timing, I just watched this movie for the first time last night
Took a screenshot of that! 😀
This just popped in my head as I was watching a TH-cam series talking about the life of Genghis Khan.
While yes if the world's ever reduced to such a state that the strong can indeed to anything they so desire because no one can stop them; eventually, after decades or more likely centuries of such an oppressive rule, there will come people who can not only challenge, but also put an end to such a culture with their brains. Think of The Mongols while Temujin (the original name of Genghis) was building himself up as a leader, the Mongols lived in a similar way of life, where the people with the most power over the lives of others abused those who don't; Temujin came in and put an end to that and brought amazing prosperity to everyone, now imagen that happening on a global scale. While humanity will suffer for generation, nature will not allow such abuse of power for long, and lowly over time the brutes will be replaced by those with brains.
Just figured I might share a possible light at the end of such a depressing tunnel with the ending of this video.
Immortan Joe is one of the best character names ever. On par with Kojima's names.
Immortan Joe was basically wasteland Jesus.
ANALYSISING EVIL TIGHTEN FROM MEGAMIND!
Nice video, Vile. You will ride to Valhalla, shiny and chrome.
Speaking of Valhalla, you should cover Odin from God of War. It's a pretty interesting and different take on him.
Something I notice about the major antagonists in mad max they always people who remember the old world and wish to resurrect it.
“If you can’t fix what’s broken… then you’ll go insane.”
when you realize Immortal joe is just humungus done right and with better potential as the road warrior felt like a prototype of Fury road
Great channel i really enjoy your content
I would love a episode on Homelander from the boys in the future
I've been waiting for this Episode for a long long time! Thanks for reviewing Immortan Joe as Mad Max Fury Road is one of my favourite films! I'm looking forward to the review of Mama from Dredd as well as MNU from District 9 and General Zod from Man of Steel.
Might have mentioned the actor who played Immortan Joe also played Toecutter in the original Mad Max. Nicely done sez I.
Excited for this one. Maybe for a future video, do a collection of the best villains that have been suggested but for whatever reason couldn't/didn't get their own video. Maybe they were really interesting but there isn't enough to make a full episode on? Or maybe there are some more bite sized topics that would better fit in a collection?
I think of Joe as a man who was on the verge of rebuilding the world through extreme, yet effective, methods. Look at all he achieved: clean water, agriculture, education, fuel, security, resource and population control... All he was lacking was a new breed of healthy human beings. Mad respect!
Analyzing Evil: Established Titles when?
Fairly new to the channel but loving everything I've seen thus far. Im sure its been requested before - would love to see a vid on the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil franchise. Keep up the great work!
Ah yes, Colonel Jessup
Water King of the POCYCLYPSE
Definitely one of the colonels of all time
Fingers crossed for Errol Childress from true detective!!
I will keep asking for Netflix’s adaptation of Kingpin from Daredevil if it kills me. A complicated, evil, assistive, yet charming man, he deserves a deep analysis front his amazing channrkn
Yes! He was fantastic!
it's SO FUNNY when Rictus Erectus fires that minigun into the distance just to show Immortan Joe he mad he was as well!
Colonel Jessup really got around!
Analyzing evil: the thing
Imortant Joe. Truly Jack Nicholson's best role.
I adore your channel!! Please do one on Catherine Tremell from Basic Instinct 🙏🙏❤
Yay we got an analysis on immortan joe! Here are some vile recommendations:
Mr Ellingboe and Mrs Krum from Klaus
Pitch Black from Rise of the guardians
The weird grandparents from The Visit
Frank from Barbarian
SCP-049 from the scp mythos
Toecutter from the mad max franchise
Does Joey count as a villain in that story? I always thought he was more of a misguided character. I don't know, maybe I misunderstood the story a bit
Notification showed this video with your last one's title. Colonel Jessup sure aged with grace!
Don’t mean to nitpick, but the title of this video still says “Colonel Jessup from A Good Men” when this video is covering Immortal Joe from Mad Max.
Ohhhh
this movie is so perfect. i don't think i can think of a single flaw.
Was I the only one who thought that Immortan Joe was actually the hero of the film? Sure he's tough and brutal, but he lives in a tough and brutal time. He brought stability and purpose to a large group of people. He rations the water because he has to. That last shot in the film where furiosa lets all the water out is basically spelling the death of the entire civilization. It will run out quickly without being rationed. Immortan Joe was the the kind of leader that they needed. Joe is the hero of the film, Furiosa is the villain. Also why did his "wives" even want to escape in the first place? If you look at it from the perspective of that world, they literally have the best life possible. They get pampered and fed better than anyone else, and are protected from all threats. Sure they have to sleep with a greasy old guy every once in a while, but if you're in a post apocalyptic world, thats not the worst thing that could happen. Plus you know that your children are going to be the most privileged members of your society. That film's production design was masterful, but the storyline was a mess.
Yet you conveniently forget that they were on a gilded cage. Imagine being forcefully taken from your home, forced to sleep with a tyrant to provide him with a heir and then discarded for not "being good enough." If you think Immortan Joe is the hero of the story, then you didn't watch the movie at all.
His society wasn't made for long term survival and wasn't efficient.
His "rationing" was little more than inefficient displays of power, since when you look at the scene where he turns on the waterfall, you can see how for several seconds the water is freely flowing without anyone catching it, and even when the Wretched do begin collecting it, most water ends up being absorbed into the ground while most of the Wretched are unable to get water.
Admittedly the last shot of all the water being let out isn't efficient, but it is unlikely to be a permanent thing.
Then there is the system which he has created, which is in no way made for the long term since it relies on a cult of personality that will die with him, just look at the crisis of faith Nux had and apply that to an entire army realising that the god they followed is very much not immortal.
Then you have the way he goes into battle, which is highly wasteful as can be seen by the guitarist with the flamethrower.
And what he was doing to his wives was still not ethical, they were constantly raped by him, were branded with a hot iron and referred to as property; if he actually cared about them then the least he could have done was view them as people.
If he wanted a society designed for long term survival, he wouldn't have based it on a cult of personality that will die with him, nor would he have the extremely wasteful displays of power with the waterfall.
It's hard to hate on this guy considering how cool he looks and smart. I wish he didn't treat women as property though
I wish this had been about an hour long!

The world in Fury Road is so twisted that it's hard to believe it's only 1 or 2 generations removed from civilization. I would have bet at least 50 years since the apocalypse.
Apocalypse happened in 1978 or so. so thats about 46 years ago
@@CoolGobyFish I don't know that it's really supposed to be a 1to1 with the release year. That would put Immortan Joe at nearly 100 years old
@@salsamancer Joe would be the same age as the actor, late 60s early 70s. Same deal with Max, but that was dropped after Gibson was replaced. Now in Furiosa, nobody's ages make any sense.
