more incoherent thoughts: 

  • furiosa clocking max across the face with her LEFT ARM FIRST 
  • furiosa not hesitating to pull the trigger (TWICE!!)
  • “THATS MY JACKET” 
  • “wanna get that thing off your face?” - IMMEDIATE DEAL CLINCHER accompanied by DUN DUN DUNNN musical cue 
  • the moment when max comes back from fixing the dragging fuel pod and he sees nux in the truck and he’s like hEY!! WATCH OUT oh wait you’ve got a knife at his throat already cool cool cool
  • “bullet farmers! they’re coming from the bullet farm!” “…..REALLY??”
  • max i s2g 
  • furiosa and nux’s angry spitting match pls
  • the fact that furiosa’s arm is painted on the side of her rig oh my god i don’t even know what to say about this  
  • “I need you here” 
  • max’s face when she says that tbh 
  • something that has me thinking and practically glowing with happiness is that we don’t really see the inside of the rig when furiosa is bargaining with the motorcycle gang, so as things are slowly going to shit and she’s considering yelling out to max he must be feeling it too because the rig immediately starts moving when she screams 
  • so he’s got to have climbed out of the hold by then, waiting crouched by the seat so he’s invisible but still ready to input the sequence because she trusted him and he has a job to do
  • and i love that they don’t show it to us i love that the rig just starts moving 
  • i dont know why im so weak about this ANYWAY 
  • the fucking look between them when she gets back in the rig and he just wordlessly hands her a gun
  • HANDS HER A GUN
  • like he hasn’t just met her, like they didn’t just try to kill each other, like he hasn’t just spent 10 minutes looking for all the wepons stashed away in the truck (also just the fact that furiosa has like 20 guns within arms reach all the time always makes me so happy)
  • so literally two minutes after she takes a huge leap of faith and teaches him the sequence to the rig he immediately shows that not only is he worthy of that trust but he’s able to pay it back in kind oh boy 
  • honestly furiosa treats him like a human being and he remembers he is one im really upset about this what the fuck
  • max reloading a rifle one handed for furiosa while driving god god god 
  • MAX SMILING AT SPLENDID MAX WORRYING ABOUT EVERYONE’S SAFETY OH MY GOD 
  • when they dig the truck out of the mud the first time and it drives away, max and furiosa stare at each other for a second before going wait who the fuck is driving???? 
  • (sike it’s nux) 
  • perfect
  • “DONT BREATHE” 
  • PERFECT
  • the way that moment isn’t played for humor is just a++ sure he rolls his eyes a little but only because he can feel her behind him all jittery and itching to take the shot and he’s just like fine you’re better at this anyway just take the damn gun and stop hovering and eventually FINE you can use me as a mount too FINE GOD how did i even sign up for this 
  • the way the squad uses mothers milk:
    • 1. to cool down engines
    • 2. to wash blood off faces GOD BLESS
  • MAX BRINGING NUX A BOOT?? IM INCONSOLABLE 
  • furiosa throwing herself on cheedo to shield her from bullets !!!!!
  • max and the fucking tree true love honestly
  • NUX NOT KNOWING WHAT A TREE IS i laughed and cried at the same time 
  • nux still calling max “blood bag” but not in a derogatory way anymore and max responding?? why is this cute and terrible at the same time???
  • max jerking awake from a nightmare ready to fucking hit someone in the face and furiosa not even getting startled, just “shh, get some rest” LIKE WHERE DO YOU GUYS GET OFF BEING THIS FUCKING GENTLE WITH EACH OTHER ????? YOU JUST MET!!! HOW DARE ??? 
  • so when max chases them down across the salt flats and floats the idea of turning back and furiosa goes ok but then what???
  • i love love love that max doesn’t answer because he has no idea but the whole squad chips in instead of him like “oh nux will take us” “there is water and green we can grow food” “just like the old days yaaaay” “KABOOM” 
  • his silence is just so perfect in that scene like max just throws the idea out there and everyone else makes a plan out of it and he just ends up going “yES AWESOME!! ALL VERY GOOD IDEAS!!! HOW ABOUT THAT?? SHOULD WE DO THAT?? WHAT DO YOU SAY???”
  • im so happy  
  • “something like redemption” 
  • together
  • THE HAND CLASP
  • THE HA ND CLASP!!!!!!!
  • im a husk of a person let me die 
  • max relieving nux from engine spitting duty and petting his head before telling him to go inside!!!
  • max and furiosa CONSTANTLY SAVING EACH OTHER like you won’t realize how frequently this happens until you start keeping count but it’s literally like 10 times each ??? 
  • “THAT’S MY CAAAR” oh honey 
  • the little running jump side tackle thing max does to knock a guy off the truck uwu
  • furiosa’s knife throw honestly
  • furiosa screaming bloody murder when she thinks she dropped max 
  • NUX SAVING MAX??? when the fuck did they become a family????
  • cheedo tricking rictus to save furiosa what a perfect move in light of her previous scenes 
  • max and furiosa’s fight scenes towards the end spliced together oh my god the the parallels are beautiful to watch 
  • furiosa’s beautiful legendary screaming headbutt 
  • “REMEMBER ME?” yes i will remember this until i die and probably after
  • toast spitting on immortan’s body GOD YES
  • rictus’ steve holt-esque RICTUUUUUS yell while ripping a fucking engine apart with his bare hands are you kidding me 
  • and just how fucking gentle max is with furiosa in the end his soft little ‘hey hey hey’s like please please please 
  • so quiet and soft even though he’s fidgeting and freaking the fuck out and mumbling under his breath he is gentle not just with furiosa but with the girls as well 
  • saying please and thank you when they help him out, cupping furiosa’s head, touching her face, constantly talking to her, reassuring her, APOLOGIZING???? TWICE??? once when he’s re-inflating her lungs and the second time when he’s putting the needle in her arm im hugely upset about this 
  • “IM SO SORRY” 
  • HONESTLY DON’
  • “take me home, take me home” 
  • ohhhhh my god 
  • ohHHHHH MY GOD
  • and max’s 0 fucking hesitation to give her his blood the second she passes out. honestly he doesn’t even take a second to think about it. even though he’s been in fucking chains because of his blood, been called “blood bag” the whole movie, been treated like livestock, he doesn’t even hesitate. his choice is already made the second the idea occurs to him. im just really sad because it speaks volumes to how liberally humans are capable of giving when they are allowed a choice and this fucks me up big time im really not fine 
  • “Max. My name is max. That’s my name” 
  • nodding to himself like he’s finally convinced 
  • “what’s your name?” “does it matter?” 
  • IT MATTERS FRIENDS IT FINALLY MATTERS 
  • THAT FINAL LOOK OF MUTUAL THANKS AND SOFT SMILES
  • WHEN WILL THIS MOVIE LET ME LIVE 
  • NEVER IT WILL NEVER LET ME LIVE

My favorite part was when The Dag turns around to look at Furiosa after she was stabbed and the music gets all heavy, the other cars pull in front of them, it seems like everything that can go wrong did go wrong and for like a fraction of a second you just think like, “this movie has averted cliches and tropes left and right, what if they really lose?” And then Nux. He fixes the engine and they pull back ahead.
I’m sorry but that is just the fucking best.

Had to reblogging again for that^^^ cuz I got the same exact feeling when I first watched it. In fact I still get twinges of “uh oh. What if this time around they-”
That is a sure sign of fucking awesome writing. FOR REAL.
