A lot of people are picking apart Furiosa's pacing/plot and are confused by the choices made but I'm coming in off two straight weeks of research about the franchise and there's a key thing people need to know to understand what happened. (mini-thread)

@madmaxbible The reason why Furiosa doesn't feel like a followup to Fury Road is because it was always The Animatrix, a cool supplement that was supposed to enhance the core product. But because Hollywood's gonna Hollywood it ended up getting released 10 years later instead of within a month.

(2) The thing about Fury Road is that it was born from an explosion of creative ideas fleshed out between Miller his co-writers, and concept artists. So many ideas that they sought a way to use it all and play around with other fascinations that Miller had been toying with.

(3) Up until filming that the world of Fury Road was to be told in 3 different mediums, The Movie itself, a Mad Max videogame where we learn how he ended up at the citadel, and an anime-inspired DVD compilation that told the origin of Furiosa. (shout out to @madmaxbible )

@madmaxbible (4) All 3 were supposed to be interconnected, with essential plot and characters introduced/explained in other media. Now if you're thinking "Hey, that kinda sounds like what they did with the Matrix sequels in 2003!" Well so did Warner Bros. and they HATED this idea.

@madmaxbible (6) The game Warner Bros did release was built by Avalanche on a mountain of Miller's pre-production materials and concept art, but with little guidance. Which is why that game has SO many characters from Furiosa like Scrotus and Chumbucket (yes, Chumbucket's briefly in Furiosa).

@madmaxbible (7) There WERE comics released that filled in a lot of loose ends but barely anybody read them, and lots of iconography/backstory used in Furiosa appear here like the history men's "wordburgers". Also remember that ghost-girl that haunted Max in Fury Road? Shoulda read the comic!

Not trying to shit on the devs, more just tilted by the idea that this intensely bootlicking framing is considered the "globally safe, multi market, Rated PG, inoffensive" version of actual worldwide events at the moment. I understand the trope of Cobra/Hydra/Spectre, but 😓

@madmaxbible (5) The filming of Fury Road was full of expensive setbacks and delays, and as part of the agreement to move the shooting to Namibia, Warner Bros pressured Miller to ONLY focus on just getting the movie done and step away from his involvement in the game and the anime idea.

@madmaxbible (8) It was only after Fury Road became a massive hit (and a feather in the cap of newly crowned WB big wig Kevin Tsujihara that saved the picture from being canned), that the Furiosa animated prequel was greenlit as a live action film. And finally we get to my thesis statement...
