Furiosa isn’t the female action hero we’re used to. Furiosa doesn’t have a dad who was taught her boxing or five brothers who taught her how to fix cars. Furiosa wasn’t a tomboy growing up, who preferred to play with the boys. Furiosa isn’t avenging the murder of her husband/brother/father or hunting down a rapist.
Furiosa comes from a community of women. She was raised by women. She works her way up through enemy ranks until she’s in a position to rescue women. Furiosa is here for women, she is here with women, and she is here because of women. Her rage, her ruthlessness, her courage – these are all things she learned from women, and from being a woman.
When you come out of Mad Max: Fury Road walking proudly with your chest held high, the cold gleam of death in your eyes, feeling more powerful and badass than you did before, and realize this must be what guys feel like every time they walk out of an action movie
minawatson-holmes asked: drivers and lancers are raised together, trained together, live, work, and doof together, and they are expected to die together, no matter the death. when nux goes to joe with the gauze, slit tries to follow with the boot. nux is always looking back because he still half-expects slit to be behind him, cause slit has to be alive and following him, they live, die, and live again only if they are together.
Slit living through everything and finding out Nux died without him T -T
Uuuuhg stab me with a rusty fork, it’s hurt less
Or better: Slit living through everything, thus KNOWING Nux must be alive.
Slit going back to rummage through the wreckage and just “ah there you are you stupid lil shit i'ma beat the fuck outta you” *squishhug* (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Then they go home to the Citadel and Nux is just like “Capable! Capable- this is Slit, he’s also gonna need you to witness him!” And everyone is just so confused by the bloodied boys they just nod and let them do whatever the hell they want.
Everyone just kinda like “are these boys alright???” while Nux and Slit are like rolling around on the ground wrestling and slipping around in their own blood
Like no, they’re not okay but /that’s okay/
And after, the boys finally stop are like “so…. what did we miss? Where’s Blood bag?? Is that WATER????” and everyone just sighs and is like “this is old news…”
They’re just like “OMG WHAT HAPPENED”
And everyone is just like “go get clean /please/ then we’ll talk you smell like death”
And as they’re walking away you hear:
Slit: wait, are those the wives? where’s the Immortan?
I see no art; I see no fics. /But I want it to be a thing/.
I kinda see them more as a brotp, to be honest, like if Nux survived, well, he’s spent his whole life being subservient to one man and now that that’s gone I can see him transferring those feelings to Max? Old habits die hard. Like “i fixed your car!” “Wow that’s really cool thanks” “I BROUGHT YOU BREAKFAST MAX.” “Thanks but you didn’t have to-” “i captured you some servants!” “Wtf put them back where you found them!”
“Put those back” “You don’t even want-” “no” “But-” “no” “…*confused face*”
Capable quietly untying everyone. “So sorry for the inconvenience. He’s a nice guy, really. Just go back to whatever you were doing.”
“HE DRIVES LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL”
“Yes i know. Sorry again.”
Nux following Max around with puppy dog eyes and laughing too hard/agreeing too much at everything he says and finally max is like, “stop it. You don’t have to prove anything to me. I like you fine the way you are naturally.”
“Y-you do?”
Max just rubs his head absentmindedly and grunts and Nux just ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
Whenever he sees Max around he’s immediately like “HI MAX OMG HOW’RE YOU HOW’S YOUR DAY BEEN”
He’s like a psychotic duckling.
Exactly! He imprints~ - w- Babe
THE MAX/NUX headrubbing thing is CANON. It was only a split second so I missed it the first time around, but after Nux chokes on gasoline that he was spitting into the engines and Max is like, “Here lemme do it,” he reaches over and rubs Nux’s head as he passes him like “You did a good job is ok i’m not mad” and Nux is like :D
OMF I KNOW I LOVE THAT PART
He’s just like “you done good kid, go on back”
Ug actual dad max
Cept that I kinda ship them :p
IDK if it was scripted or just Hardy/Hoult being adorable and perfect, but I was squealing into my popcorn at that moment.
Dad Max *cries forever over the perfection that is Dad Max*
Prolly just them being adorable xD
And akdbwkdhow Dad Max is so great Like the thumbs up he gives Angharad
One thing I really like about the burgeoning Mad Max: Fury Road fandom is how chill we are with each others ships:
Max/Furiousa: Absolutely! Max/Furiousa brotp: Jaeger co-pilots for life. Furiousa/Valkyrie: Oh yeah! Very awesome. Max/Nux: Frick yes. Nux/Slit: Carry on, you beautiful disaster. Nux/Capable: 10 out of 10 adorbs. Nux/Capable brotp: 10 out of 10 adorbs. No ships at all: Sure thing. Shipping all of the things: Why not?
honestly though why is no one talking about when nux told max “Well, you can ask for more than a jacket,” after he took his jacket back
because honestly that was the cutest part of the movie
He was so positive that Max was on his side, sweet babe
And Max is just like ‘what is /up/ with this weirdo?’
That whole conversation is gold, like Nux is just so happy that they “captured” Furiosa and thinks Max is on his side and he’s like “YAY!! GO TEAM wow we could totally ask for like whatever we want, Senpai is gonna be so grateful, I wanna drive the cool War Rig, what are you gonna ask for huh bloodbag??? :D”. And then Max just like hauling the jacket off him and Nux neither resists nor tries to make the jacket removal any easier, he just stands there while Max pulls the jacket off. And like “LOL bruh that’s all you want is a jacket LMAO like you could probably ask for more than that IDK” and then Max drops him with a hit to the solar plexus. And Nux spends the remainder of the scene huddled in pain in the dirt behind everyone else while the other characters do actual important stuff. :’D
LITERALLY HILARIOUS
He’s so happy and then gets thumped right in the chest
It’s so funny to me because you have all this serious stuff that happens after that, Max taking the rig and leaving the distraught wives behind, Furiosa’s badass dialogue– “Out here everything hurts, pick up what you can and run”, etc – and then behind it all you have sad little trashbaby, lying on the ground with his knees pulled up to his chest, just silently like “BLOODBAG NO, I thought we were brothers, I thought we were friends, why have you forsaken me”.
