You ever wonder at what point during Fury Road Furiosa just goes “I’ve completely lost control of my life, haven’t I”?
Like, if you look at the architecture of her original plan, it was pretty clearly “Steal the war-rig, go home, rejoin the Vuvalini.”
And then the wives were like “A place where we can live in relative peace and not lose our children to a soulless war machine and be enslaved by said war machine ourselves and control our own lives and make our own decisions omg can we please come with you.” and she was like “...I cannot actually make myself leave you behind now that you’ve asked, you all deserve any help I can give and to ultimately have lives of your own making.”
And then Max literally walks out of nowhere and threatens everyone with a gun that doesn’t even fucking work and tries to steal her fucking ride and won’t even tell her his name, and then they somehow pick up a stray warboy, and suddenly she’s like a post-apocalyptic soccer mom trying to keep way more people than she counted on alive while way more people than she counted on are chasing them.
And then, when it’s all gone a bit tits-up because the home she remembered is gone, Max opens his stupid mouth and proposes a plan that’s just crazy enough to work and they can save everyone but the odds of them all dying are something 99.5%, and it’s just like “fml everybody back in the damn truck I guess this is how we die somebody find Nux a can of paint he’s going to want it before this is over.”
