Re: A quick thought regarding FR vocabulary

I was specifically thinking of it being pointed out that the citadel didn't understand the meaning of the word "abundance", but in Fury road there being a pretty varied lexicon in use. It felt like a little nod to language similar to Beyond Thunderdome's kids having a limited / skewed voc...

Re: A quick thought regarding FR vocabulary

I checked the transcript to be sure and it doesn't seem like the History Man ever said 'Mediocre' in Furiosa. But I do believe some words used by Dementus' people were incorporated into The Citadel's vernacular. For example the Organic Mechanic was using 'full life' long before they stumbled upon th...

Re: Bullet Farm and Ammunition Production

I wouldn't say they could produce new shotgun shells, but they could be easily recycled.

Here's how:

Re: Are these American domestic market cars in Furiosa?

The first one is most definitely Mercury Cougar XRT 1977-1978

That's because the vehicle buyer for Furiosa was asking around for a 3D model of it on Facebook.

Not sure about the other one yet, will have to look into it.

Re: Furiosa with Spoilers Thread

1. Did Mad Max: Fury Road, Mad Max: Furiosa, and Mad Max: The Wasteland development materials discuss the differences between the titles of Praetorian and Imperator in Immortan Joe's Army? This is a tricky one. I do have the original treatment for Furiosa and it makes it very clear that 'The Praeto...

Re: The Wasteland

Yes but you're missing one important part: Max wasn't like this when he was building his car. He became completely feral after the events of The Wasteland. Even in Furiosa you can see his car was pretty much completed and in somewhat good condition. That was before The Wasteland. Who knows what real...

Re: Furiosa | the spoiler-free thread

Melvin Zed explained it to me the best:

Furiosa is to Fury Road what MMBT is to MM2.

Re: Site update

I honestly cannot answer this question. I talked to Peter Barton about this a few times, way back when the forums were overrun with spam bots and the forums are now locked because of it. But that's about it. The frontpage is still stuck in 2017. Look, the reality is that people just don't use forums...

Re: Furiosa artbooks

I talked to Abbie Bertnstein a while ago, she's the one who made the Art of Mad Max Fury Road. She's not involved in making a book about Furiosa, nor was she even asked to do it. The marketing for Furiosa is really weak so far, with 2 trailers and some lukeworm promos. Although ATJ said they're goin...
