Seriously, Nux's exploitation was also a significant part of the world and plot.
It was so touching! So THEMATIC! He became a human! He already was human, he had just been so exploited and degraded and beaten down he had nearly forgotten! AND THEN HE CHOSE TO GIVE UP HIS NEW LIFE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. //sob
Also I cannot help being shallow about how adorable Capable was with Nux. Like: hello teenage boy! I feel compassion for you and ALSO I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BOY UP CLOSE MAYBE. My adolescence sucked too it was real real bad! Gentle face touches!
That little quiet scene between the two of them where they are just two little lost souls going OMG, who are _you?_ was one of my favourite bits of the movie, no lie. I mean yeah, there are AWESOME _REAL_ EXPLOSIONS and Guitar Dude and beatdowns, but there were also moments like that, and Dag and Noranti with the seeds, and Furiosa collapsing in the desert, that were just so emotional and punched me all the harder because they were these precious little connections in the midst of all the shit.
