“I'll go”

Copying bassfanimation‘s tags:

mmfr, fury road, Capable, her face here, not for a moment does she allow Furiosa to stare her down, nor does she allow her to call this shot, I just think that speaks so much about Capable, this fearsome Imperator with grease on her face, hauling bags of guns and is missing an arm from combat, and Capable is fearless and determined, amazing character moment, and it’s so small you could miss it, she’s so obviously angered and hurt by her friend’s loss too, I still feel that at this moment right here, she’s pissed at Furiosa and maybe slightly blaming her for Angharad, and Furiosa can SEE that in her eyes,DAMMIT THESE WOMEN ARE AMAZING, I love them so much

Her look here + the look she gives Max when she’s bandaging Angharad’s bullet wound…Capable is not here for your bullshit.

I just, her face.  If you take your hands and block out Furiosa and Cheedo, it is the best “Back off” face ever.  The way her eyes literally do not waver from the start to the finish of the scene.  It’s almost directly challenging to Furiosa, who also doesn’t look away.  She used to these types of challenges from others, but I’m not sure she expected it here.  Notice how Capable also makes it a point to lean far into Cheedo’s pathway, effectively blocking the space between her and Furiosa.  It’s a direct statement, saying “I will protect them now, and I will not let you, or anyone else, cause another one of them to fall.  Is that clear.”

Tagged: mmfr, fury road, FUCKING, CAPABLE, Y'ALL, my whole world just opened up about this character, this is why anyone who says the Five are not fully fleshed out, you must not be paying attention, cause these women are absolutely awesome in their depth..

Yo…they are totally fleshed out characters, which becomes really clear when you take time to watch them. But, like many things in this movie, a lot of what we learn about them is not delivered through dialogue. So I think it’s easy to miss it if you only see the movie once, because there’s so much to watch and they’re often in the background.

After seeing the movie the first time, I couldn’t keep any of their names straight, so I watched this featurette like 10 times to remember who was who and who did what in the movie. And I was like, “Holy shit, they’re way more active and central to the action than I even noticed the first time around.” And I ended up writing a lot about them in my first review of the movie, because I kept hearing people say that they didn’t think the Wives were very developed characters. Now that seems totally obvious, but there’s so much information in the movie, and so much of it is different from what we’re used to seeing, that it’s easy to miss stuff without repeat viewings.
