I Suddenly Remembered My Charlemagne

Do not buy the Furiosa comic.

It makes me sad, because I was hoping to support the heck out of anything with Furiosa's name on it, but it turns out that the comic is TERRIBLE BEYOND ALL REASON.

If you need to know the details, here is an in-depth analysis, care of The Mary Sue.

If you need to get REALLY ANGRY about it, here is the completely tone-deaf explanation for the co-author.

Trigger warnings for...well, basically everything that the movie handles WELL, the comic handles in the WORST WAY IMAGINABLE. So.

Just find a theatre still showing the movie, basically. And then read fanfic.

This movie, you guys.

I don't know what I did in this life or in another to deserve Mad Max: Fury Road, but I am really glad I did it. It was FULL of things I love, including (but not limited to):

1. a moving siege
2. "space ship" ethics (there wasn't really a space ship)
3. ladies
4. people being smart
5. clever writing
6. justice
7. an excellent soundtrack
8. [redacted for spoilers]

Also, there's a Scene You Don't See that was even better than Nat's "Won't be a problem" in Captain America: The Winter Solider.

UGH, it was amazing. (Like, the dialogue was terrible, but WHO CARES?)

Charlize Theron for ALL the action movies. And Tom Hardy can be her side kick any time.
