I could definitely see that! Or maybe she was very young when she did it, and later she was in a more nuanced place with her face where on the one hand it wasn't a fucking advantage, thanks, but on the other hand it was a form of power where she would have been powerless?
I do feel like the wives might come from a bunch of different communities; I mean, the Dag is definitely from a different place, for example, she has a form of religion that no one else is familiar with.
Yeah! That was you with the excellent guitar truck observations! (This morning I cornered my brother on gchat and tried to engage him about castle defense for like an hour. I am talking a lot of Mad Max lately).
There's going to be at least one TERRIBLE sitiation with no good answer, really early on -- man, I'm remembering how much I loved this shit back when I was watching BSG.)
Well, I mean, Furiosa's promise to the Wives was partially an escape from constant warfare, but in that kind of situation warfare isn't, like, a mistake that Joe made out of hubris, it's a fact of the landscape, or at least it will be for a while. There's a pretty good case for supervillain/empire logic, there: the fastest way to peace might be to conquer a bunch of shit so that there's a large interior in which people can live their lives without constant tiny-border skirmishes. I don't really know what the alternatives would be: a series of small states with strong trade ties? An extremely persuasive material and social culture/religious culture instead of a militaristic expansion? IDEK.
