But also I cannot with super granular Feminist Readings on the internet sometimes
Yeah, I'm just like EXCUSE YOU PEOPLE IT WAS ABOUT FUCKING BLOWING UP THE PATRIARCHY. WITH REAL EXPLOSIONS.
it is significant that Max was a co-participant in a group undertaking as was Nux!
Seriously! ESPECIALLY since Max and Nux (similar names, heh) were given the 'female' arcs (supportive, self-sacrificing) and it was a total flip of the typical plotline and also showed that YES THERE ARE GOOD GUYS and PATRIARCHY SUCKS FOR EVERYONE and GENDER DOES NOT DETERMINE EVERYTHING.
Seriously, Nux's exploitation was also a significant part of the world and plot.
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!
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

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.
