News on the Fury Road : "The Wasteland" & "Furiosa"

I think they're going to reveal some character names soon, so I might as well show them to you now.
What's funny is that those names were accidentally revealed online anyway, except Li'l Jilly. So no harm no foul. Spoilers ahead if that's your thing.

I love that the Organic Mechanic is one of Dementus's men. On that note he was called Dr. Dementus in the game so they must have dropped the Dr part. Looking at Hemsworth's character the title Dr.D doesn't fit at all, especially when there is a doctor beside him in that picture. Dementus works better.

His three henchman certainly look intimidating. I'm hoping for some characters with a lot of presence like Wez and Humungous where characters were in serious danger around them.

Looking forward to what they do with the History Man. Tattooing information on people is one of my favourite pieces of world building in Fury Road.

Maybe there will be a surprise trailer during the Oscars tonight?

I'm really looking forward to to this film and the images released look great, but, this photo just makes me think of the Monty Python gang!!!

'Monty Python and the Spam-ocalypse!'

They really do look like a gang from Monty Python

[Uncle Entity]

I get the very same feeling... and it's not a good feeling.

I actually really like this first glimpse of the gang. Their character designs are individual enough to be distinct, but they're unified by a distinct medieval vibe. And that aesthetic distinguishes them from the other factions we already know. I don't think they'll look as out-of-place when surrounded by their props/vehicles.

On top of that, I think each character here is showing a glimpse of their personality, which I can appreciate. They all appear to be looking at the same thing, but they each have a distinct reaction to it. Octoboss is showing a Bubba Zanetti-like level of disgust and disregard for whatever he's looking at. Fang looks like he's questioning his choices in life. Li'l Jilly looks like he's going to bite someone. Smeg seems ready to negotiate(?) or de-escalate the situation. And the Organic Mechanic looks a bit amused at whatever is unfolding before him.

It's not a hugely discussed aspect of the films (at least on this side of the fandom) but I really like watching the group dynamics of Mad Max villains. Even back in the first movie, the Toecutter gang members showed a lot of personality, even the members that didn't have a lot of lines. Look at Clunk and his elephant, or Mudguts and Cundalini with their little dance in the streets of Clunes. I'm really hoping we'll get some Dementus gang member moment like that. To each their own, though; I'm not trying to sell anyone on something they're not vibing with.

I can't wait to see who 'Pissboy' is

That name has me WHEEZING with laughter. My personal speculation is that he's someone who assists the Bullet Farm by using urine and organic matter to create potassium nitrate (saltpeter) for gunpowder. But maybe that's just my over-enthusiasm for the Bullet Farm showing. I'll be equally happy if he's just some random guy called Pissboy.
