MMFR Confessions

To all of you who followed this blog back in the day, I hope you enjoy this message I received out of the blue yesterday. The world looks very different from when this blog started, but there is still beauty to be found and cultivated. If you're still wandering this wasteland in search of your better self, I'm thinking of ya and I'm pullin' for ya. Don't be afraid to tell people when you're doing well - they might just be listening.

Ride historic. 🖤🖤

I made that confession about the Keeper of Seeds being a perv, but now I’m convinced that she and the Vuvalini in general are all dirty gals. Why did they give the girls new clothes, but didn’t give any to Nuxy-Boy? Probably for the same reason I wouldn’t.

I love that Tom Hardy's bottom teeth are crooked... It's nice to see a little bit of imperfection in actors today. It's especially evident when he's gagged.

My first time seeing MMFR, I had watched the first Hobbit film the night prior so all I thought when I saw the War Boys was that they looked like skinny Azog.

I've always had a hard time visualizing Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky. I don't say this as if I'm arguing against his performance in the role, I mean I literally can't see Tom Hardy when he plays Max. I used to see some ungodly combination of Gerard Butler and Russell Crowe, and eventually I saw Chris Pratt, but now I have a hard time finding any single person that could be presented as a MM:FR Max analogue. Not sure whether to congratulate the costume and make-up team, or go see a doctor.

[mmfrconfessions]

Sometimes I fantasize about breaking into the exhibit/storage where the costumes are kept and stealing Furiosa's arm to use as a dildo.

[mmfrconfessions]

I head canon Toast as asexual and I also consider her to feel isolated from the others because she had more experience with the outside world.

[mmfrconfessions]

I believe that the Dag grew individual memorial gardens for Angharad, Nux, and the fallen Vuvalini after returning to the Citadel.

[mmfrconfessions]

Call me an SJW, but I just don't think gender-swapped AUs (a la Mad Maxine, Furiosimus and the Five Husbands) carry the same weight as the original. Fury Road is heavy and important BECAUSE it's a story of women as individuals and not as tropes. We already have enough stories of men as individuals.

[mmfrconfessions]

I want to get the new Mad Max game but I don't want to because I think killing War Boys would make me too sad because they're my cute little skeleton War puppies... even though they're bloodthirsty murderers.

[mmfrconfessions]

Am I the only one who thought when Nux said, "You can ask for much more than a jacket" he was propositioning Max? I dunno, maybe I just like the idea of heavily flirty Nux.

Thanks to MMFR and the Mad Max fandom, my head now turns at random old motorcycles.  

I grew up around motorcycles, my grandparents rode them during WWII and my spouse rides.  But I never really noticed the details of different styles of bikes until I started doing research about the MMFR stunt riders and watching the original movie.  Now I do a double-take if I see an old Kwaka in traffic.  It makes me feel a lot closer to my family.

I really want to go to Wasteland Weekend this year whilst it's still reasonably Fury Road-influenced but I'm too skint to travel all the way from Scotland, and by the time I get to the new movie will be out and WW won't be that Fury Road-related...

[mmfrconfessions]

When I watched the sand storm scene for the first time, I thought Nux's plotline would be about how he'd become an outcast due to returning home chrome-sprayed, yet alive, and hence having put his religion to shame. I'm glad the movie went for a less predictable plot instead!

[mmfrconfessions]

I sometimes entertain the thought that Capable had a “Snow White and the Huntsman” moment when she found Nux in the back of the rig. She didn’t throw him out because she thought he was pretty. It’s unlikely, but an amusing reversal of gender roles. TBH, I probably would have thought the same. I mean, “I know he tried to kill my mom and everything, but those eyes…”

[mmfrconfessions]

The face Nux makes after hearing the Immortan's dead just kills me. Yes, he's a good guy now, but can you imagine hearing the idol you've worshipped til yesterday is dead and you helped? The brief flash of disbelief before it sets in slays me.

[mmfrconfessions]

I can't be the only one shipping themselves with Nux.
