Okay, so I was watching Mad Max…. and during this scene I noticed something…
Let’s take a closer look…
Now, pardon my bad gif making skills but…
IS THAT FURIOSA RESTING ON MAX’S SHOULDER!?
you’re right, that’s her
So not only are they sitting on the roof & holding hands while the car drives onto the lift, they’ve been resting against each other the entire way there!?
I didn’t know they were holding hands on the roof! I wonder if the car ride is missed out in the same way that Max killing the Bullet Farmer is missed out. Like Furiosa is out for the count pretty much so would it be too focused on Max? In the same way the other scene in other action films would have been included?
There would have been so much bonding through unspoken words and eye contact and touching tho omg I want to know what happened during this drive!!
Oh yeah they were. It’s like 95% to provide physical support for her but…that other 5%…
(And I kind of feel like after the moment of intimacy and vulnerability “My name is Max” ends on, both of them need and deserve a long drive with her napping on his shoulder. The more I think about it the more it feels right.)
I just want high-res screencaps of every millisecond of this last scene.
I’m still not over this. THEY’RE SO CUDDLY AT THE END
Furiosa is completely exhausted and all of Max’s barriers are down after the blood-giving scene. Like 95% it’s about literal physical support, but 5% is “oh god after everything we went through I’m so glad you’re alive let’s touch”
For your cosplay/fanart/fic/generally keeping track of them needs.
SPOILERS: THEY’RE ALL TOTALLY STILL ALIVE
You know Keeper and Maddie and Valkyrie… but do you recall The least famous Vuvalini of alllllllllll (NO YOU DON’T ‘CAUSE THEY DIDN’T BOTHER TO GIVE THEM NAMES AND COSTUMED THEM WITH ONLY SLIGHT VARIATIONS)
Left to right in this screencap, (casting as near as I can figure from BTS pictures and squinting a lot at headshots where they’re washed and wearing makeup):
V1 (Gillian Jones) – “There’s something in the eyes.” Dark grey hair always in braids, yellow hood and aviator style goggles. Survives to the end and drives Gigahorse back to the Citadel, LIKE A BOSS
V2 (Antoinette Kellermann) – “The men. Who are they?” Wavy white hair and round goggles. Third to “die” when the War Boys pull the roof off the Rig’s cab. LOOK, IT’S JUST A LITTLE CONCUSSION, SHE’S GONNA WALK IT OFF
V3 (Melita Jurisic) – “One man, one bullet”. Hair in braids in the first Vuvalini scene and then confusingly down afterward. Round goggles, splashes of red in her outfit. Takes a thunderstick in the back cab but BOUNCES BACK FUCK YEAH AND SHE OFFICIALLY DEFINITELY LIVES TO THE END
V4 (Joy Smithers) – “But if you came from the west…” Aviator style goggles and leather hood. Has to reload powder and lead shot every time she kills a man, which is a pretty good reason to only use one bullet per man. Thrown off the rig by Rictus BUT SHE’S NOT DEAD I REFUSE
V3 and V4 are v. married and I’m not going to budge on this.
And as you already know, Valkyrie and Maddie (Christina Koch, probably, by process of elimination) aren’t dead either.
