Yah! :D

love that car.  did elvis survive that btw?

Informed fan speculation is that yeah, he totally survived it. Because Elvis is actually Morsov. He:

• starts the run as the Elvis car’s lancer,
• flips off as seen here,
• is picked up (off-camera) by that warboy on the motorcycle,
• lances the Buzzard vehicle,
• is plucked off and saved by the warboy swinging on the crane thingy,
• takes over the fuel pod turret,
• harpoons the pursuing Buzzard vehicle,
• gets crossbowed in the face and torso, 
• chromes himself, and
• dies in a blaze of witnessed glory by leaping onto the buzzard vehicle with a thunderstick in each hand.

So, on balance, a fairly eventful day.

ETA: Oh, but if you meant, did the car survive, not sure. Someone could check to see if it’s on the car carrier in later scenes. It wouldn’t surprise me if it is, though I guess it’s also possible that the Citadel war party didn’t pass that point, having instead cut off the war rig by coming in from the side, as you see in the aerial shots when they’re closing in. But someone surely picked it up eventually. You don’t leave a sweet vehicle like that just lying around the Wasteland.

Have a doodle of annoyed Morsov.

isn’t that not morsov thoisn’t that the car that got flipped into the buzzard trap

Yeah! But fandom has established through meticulous frame-by-frame research that the lancer from the Elvis is, in fact, Morsov. Even though we all totally missed it for like two months. No, really. Check this out:

Welp, recent evidence says Morsov is Elvis Car Lancer/Gunner

Morsov is Bogan War Boy.

Not so Mediocre

(Possibly a Buzzard child…)

oh my god, I never realised it’s him (he looks so different when he’s not yelling???), but now it all makes sense, because at first the biker on the right rides alone

but after the Elvis Car crashes, the biker has Morsov on the bike

so he stopped and picked Morsov up real quick after the crash, how have I never noticed this before, I feel so ashamed

Because this movie zips everything across your vision lickity split, telling little hidden stories here and there but constantly keeping your focus on the main plot.

So much genius this movie is :3

So wait, once he’s on the rig he replaces the guy who is manning the gun on the fuel pod?

Yup!

Shout out to the War Boy in skinny pants who saved Morsov.

So, I interpreted this as Morsov saving the lancer on the bike. That is, that Morsov is the one swinging out on the swing-y thing to pluck that guy up just before the Buzzard vehicle plows through them.

I’ve been assuming that Morsov’s post is the turret atop the fuel pod, such that every time the person in that position does something it’s Morsov. So for example, it was Morsov who was the first to notice and call the crew’s attention to the flares being fired from the war party leaving the Citadel.

But maybe I’ve been wrong all this time, and Morsov actually was on the back of the motorcycle until this other guy swung out and rescued him.

Clearly an excuse for another re-watch. :-)

I can’t say as to which is whom, but you can hear someone calling “Morsov!!” as the swinging is occurring. It would make sense that skinny-pants is calling to him to get his attention for the lift? But also skinny-pants /could/ be the one calling out for help(do war boys call for help tho? I don’t know >.<).

Another possibility is that it’s a witnessing going on. That is, someone on the rig is seeing him swinging out and is calling his name to call attention to his act of awesomeness.

In a story sense, that could be intended to help set up the audience for the upcoming sequence when Morsov dives onto the Buzzard vehicle. That is, helping us understand that the war boys interact like that so we’ll recognize it more clearly when it happens again.

Is Ace the only War Boy to ever V8 at a person who’s not Immortan Joe?

I think that’s the only time, yeah. I remembered him doing it (to Morsov), but didn’t realize it was unique in that respect. But I think you’re right.

One of the things I noticed during my (fourth) in-theater viewing this morning was how Morsov is the one who first calls attention to the signal flares from the Citadel, and how he’s the one who swings across on the swingy thing to rescue the lancer from the motorcycle. So Morsov really is pretty badass. Totally deserved that salute from Ace, whatever Slit says.

Another thing I noticed that I hadn’t before: There’s a young wretched girl/teen standing in the center of the platform when it’s lifted up after dropping off the War Rig in that early scene. The nasty hooded guys are pushing others off, but they leave her alone. So even without the description of how Nux got into the Citadel from the comic, it’s there in the movie: The idea that for a few individuals, there’s an opportunity to be let up.

so nobody talks about how when Morsov jumps, every warboy in the vicinity loses their fucking shit

so i concluded from this scene that when a warboy dies the one who witnessed him has to shout “WITNESSED” and its kind of like a “AAYYYYYY YOU DONE GOOD YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE” and i mean of course you have to point at him bc you’re letting everyone know that this fucker over here is exploding himself to walhalla like fuckin’ A man i saw that shit you sure as hell gonna know i witnessed that shit firsthand goddamn it

Yes, but Slit tho: “Mediocre, Morsov! Mediocre!”
