[darkpoetryshop]

April Is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade, And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten, And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.

And down we went.

In the mountains, there you feel free. I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter. What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, You cannot say, or guess, for you know only A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, And the dry stone no sound of water. Only There is shadow under this red rock, (Come in under the shadow of this red rock), And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

-T.S. Eliot

THOUGHTS on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

I'll start with two statements regarding Anya Taylor Joy's casting and go from there.

I like her (I know some don't).

I agree she doesn't look like Charlize Theron (and we all know Charlize realized Furiosa as much as Miller did).

BUT a thing that struck me as soon as I heard she was cast was that she had that ethereal vibe of the Five (when I first saw them, the word 'mermaids' wouldn't leave my mind). I could see Anya playing a 'wife', which works with a backstory, I don't think any fan would like to watch play out on the screen...

Now let's try not to be too skeptical: she's tall like Furiosa, there's the probability she was more feminine as a girl living in a feminine world the Green Place of Many Mothers, she didn't need to be as muscular in her youth so she wasn't, etc.

Now. The trailer didn't manage to completely sell me the idea of Anya as Furiosa, but it eased some of my nerves. THE EYES! I saw a troll post on redit literally the day before the trailer dropped with close-ups of Theron and Joy (brown-eyed) captured "Furiosa eye color change?"

I've read the meta, I knew the eyes were carefully retouched in Fury Road in post-production, so I had hope. And seeing Anya's eyes in the trailer, I thought to myself, 'This is THE death stare. This is Furiosa'. And when she screamed all disheveled, I liked that part best. The one with her face covered, making the V8 symbol - second best.

I liked that she was shooting, I liked that cropped-out-seconds-rising-the-tension-rising-the-momentum Gorge Miller magic, I liked how over the top Lord Dementus was, it worked for me. Joe looked like Joe, I believe he didn't have any lines.

I definitely didn't like that head-touch with Tom Burke's character 😕 (sorry. He seems to have a lot of fans.)

And I didn't like the opening and closing shots. Can't quite place why: the opening one seemed like I'd already watched it before, also a bit too long, and the closing felt not authentic somehow. I wish she was more muscular. She just seems fragile in the classic Furiosa outfit.

Last roll of 'complains' before I start with the excitement-inducing points:

The over-explaining in the trailer itself, the big words with the exact number of years and all (like they could've converted into days, like they do in universe) but alas I suppose that's in order to bring in a wider audience. I hope it succeeds, tho!

Is a prequel the story I wanna visit - no. I'd like a movie about the Four - rebuilding, reforming, growing (green and as people), I want Max back even as I know it isn't like him to stay, and finally I want Theron and Hardy side by side, even as I know they wouldn't haha.

All of that is so unlikely. And there are so many spectacular novel-length fics about that. Hell, one such universe has been materializing in my mind for the past year. I almost don't want a movie about what comes after.

Still, I'd prefer a movie about the after rather than the before, but that's what's happening.

But I'm a nobody. The Creator of this world has a story he'd like to share, and it is centered around one of the most incredible characters in recent history, I think we're lucky to be able to witness that.

Now, onto the real excitement!

Disclaimer: this is less coherent even than what came before it.

First of all, we're finally getting a Wasteland movie by Gorge Miller (edited by Margaret Sixel!!!)

I cannot stress this enough!

We're getting chases, and War Boys and shiny mutant-cars, and we're going to GasTown, people! To the Bullet Farm! Helloo, I'm so ready, so curious!

And we're going to the Green Place, y'all! I'm so excited about it. Like they had horses wtf? Mary Jo Bassa! Canon Vuvalini names! Traditions! Defense strategies, weapons, male Vuvalini maybe, crows, so much lore...

But I'm most excited about that Lady driver and the little girl. I'm soo ready for the stories of women in the Wasteland!

To sum up: I'm mostly hyped for the expansion of the world because I love it so much. Because we'd see another of Miller's visions.

And I trust the team behind it enough to know it won't be an unremarkable movie.

I know it won't be another Fury Road because there never will be.

I watched it way too late, and it's my dream to see it on the big screen, which wouldn't happen. So I'm grateful for a second chance to experience something like it. And I'm hoping the fandom will live again, because from my lurking I've found it to be as intricate and smart and fucking amazing as Fury Road itself is, and I'd like to be a part of it this time around :')

Hearing some credible talk that if Furiosa does in fact do well next year, we could potentially get a full-blown Mad Max TV series afterwards. It appears that this would be based on “The Wasteland,” the as yet unadapted middle chapter of the Fury Road trilogy consisting of Furiosa, The Wasteland, and Fury Road.

The script for this story has had something of a fascinating history: apparently starting its life as a book, then an idea for a TV series in the 90s, becoming a full part of the Fury Road narrative in the 2000s, very likely switching to a video game (on which work began as a collaboration between George Miller and Cory Barlog), transitioning to a full-fledged film adaptation, before finally ending up as a show that is actively being worked on right now. The story will likely center around Max wandering the Wasteland while rebuilding his Interceptor, and I wouldn’t be surprised if bits and pieces of certain scenes depicted in the comics/2015 video game were adapted in it so as to definitively fulfill Miller’s vision for those events.

The Gas Town Thunderdome fight where Max wins a new engine for his rebuilt Interceptor-something we might see in The Wasteland.

Another reason for the story being told within this format is George Miller's age. The man's already 78 and isn't getting any younger, with every time he tackles a new Mad Max project taking an enormous amount of time and effort to see it through. After Furiosa took so long to get off the ground it's becoming increasingly unlikely he'll do another live action film, let alone any other projects of similar size and scope. A series would allow him to retain creative control while letting others work in his playground, so to speak. The previous foundation Miller built on this kind of collaborative approach with the original Furiosa anime and Barlog's video game adaptation should help make things work pretty smoothly in terms of this new show.

However, anyone hoping for Tom Hardy's return as Max Rockatansky is probably set to be disappointed, as it appears he won't be returning to reprise the role. Despite having signed a contract for three films (ostensibly Furiosa, The Wasteland, and Fury Road), his character is unlikely to feature prominently in Furiosa and it can be expected he'll be passed over for this new project. Apparently significant issues with Hardy on the set of Fury Road led George Miller to diminish whatever role Max might've had in the new film (which from my understanding may have been a bit bigger than originally thought). The more visible effects of this decision will almost certainly be felt in The Wasteland, where we'll get another take on Max from a new actor. I've also heard interesting discussion about the potential use of deep fake technology in Furiosa. It's said that this will be used for a Max cameo with Hardy's face superimposed over another cast member's.

In the end, much of the franchise's future-including The Wasteland and any other new productions, depends on the success of Furiosa in 2024. I'm very hopeful it'll do well and we'll continue to receive excellent new Mad Max content the way George Miller wants it to be produced and experienced.

Me: I'm a big brave girl who loves horror movies

The beast from The Wasteland (2021): I, a tall, creaky boy, have like 30 seconds of screen time but after you see me you will be too afraid to go to the bathroom.

Me: woe, I am but a wretched infant trapped in terror by thine own cgi hand.
