Max Rockatansky And Nux Vs. Imperator Furiosa And The Five Wives

Max Rockatansky and Nux vs. Imperator Furiosa and the Five Wives

Things I Loved About This Scene:

Furiosa just fucking going for it against Max without the need to have her badass dieselpunk arm prosthetic. Mad respect to my fierce and flawless post-apocalyptic goddess and savior!

A temporarily unconscious Nux being tugged around like a poor little rag doll while the Furiosa and the Wives confront Max.

Obviously Angharad and Capable leading the charge by taking hold of the chains to get Max off from Furiosa. Yas queens!

Max on the defense by using the car door as a shield to block Furiosa's attacks and just sucker punch her on the face with it.

Nux finally waking up and just getting in on the fight action without a second of hesitation. That's the War Boy spirit!

I love how The Dag's body language suggests that she really wants to fight with the other Wives but because Cheedo is fearfully clinging on to her and pulling her back, she's torn between helping Furiosa and trying to get Cheedo to stay away because clearly she’s a beautiful cinnamon roll too good and too pure for this post-apocalyptic desert world.

I love that little bit where Max hisses at the Wives to get the fuck away from him because he really looks like a rabid dog barking at some poor innocent girls with a muzzle in that part.

The intensity in Max and Furiosa's eyes as they're both engaged in the fight is just so amazing to see.

Angharad, Capable, and Toast just dogpiling on Nux to wrestle the magazine of bullets from his clutches which results in Max falling down to give Furiosa the advantage.

The funny but great part where the Dag just jumps in and pulls on the chain connected to Max just emphasizes my image of Max as an oversized rabid dog that needs to be restrained.

Also, I am going to be so upset if this doesn’t get nominated (or even win) for the Best Fight category at next year’s MTV Movie Awards (even though I know that award show doesn’t mean shit for anything).

Darling, hold my hand Oh, won't you hold my hand? 'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore Won't you understand? 'Cause I don't wanna walk alone I'm ready for this, there's no denying! I'm ready for this, you stop me falling! I'm ready for this, I need you all in! I'm ready for this, so darling, won't you hold my hand?

The Heroic But Tragic Death Of The Splendid Angharad

Things I Loved About This Scene (Even Though It Completely Killed Me Watching The End Of It):

The moment where Immortan Joe is about to shoot at Furiosa when all of a sudden, the backseat door flies open and OUT POPS ANGHARAD WHERE SHE USED HERSELF TO SHIELD HER SAVIOR FROM HER NASTY RAPIST. Swear to God, that was possibly the most metal thing I've ever seen a heavily pregnant woman do onscreen and it was such a glorious thing to watch!

For real, Angharad is literally almost suspended in midair to give Joe the most epic and defiant stare-down in cinematic history as she is held in relative safety by Capable's grip. You know this fierce and flawless desert queen was all like, "NOPE. NOT TODAY, SATAN!" Bonus "fuck yeah!" points for Capable and Toast giving equal amounts of death glares at Joe as well!

Loved that flash of complete powerlessness in Joe's shocked eyes when he saw Angharad risking her life and realizing that she really hated his fucking guts for even trying to get her and the other Wives back. Nothing has made me happier seeing this scene than a newly empowered woman taking control and using the very weakness of her vile captor to fully destroy his pathetic delusions and inflated ego.

Angharad be like "BYE FELICIA!" as the War Rig drove away and she was still hanging out the cabin to continue giving Joe her amazing death glare. YAS QUEEN! Also: amazing hairspiration moment! You can't deny that Angharad's hair looked absolutely on fucking point blowing around her face while she was staring down at Joe. Gorgeous honey blond girlfriend knows how to work her crowning glory!

As Joe was driving right next to the War Rig, the Five Wives just look at him with utter disdain (except for Cheedo who honestly looked like she was really scared). Loved the part where The Dag just hissed "Schlanger!" at Joe becuase let's be real here, he really fucking is one.

And let's not forget that it wasn't just Mom Furiosa that Angharad saved in this scene: she also saved Dad Max! Look at Angharad once again springing into action as she climbed out of the cabin with bolt cutters in hand in order to sever the chain that harpooned Max's hand. Seriously, did I mention how totally metal as fuck this flawless woman is? Also: bolt cutters are total life-savers in this world.

Loved, loved, LOVED that heart-stopping fake-out where the audience thought Angharad reacted too late to avoid the giant rocks, but nope, she totally did avoid them! Then what followed was that brief moment that warmed my heart: Angharad fixing a really proud look on her face―like she couldn't believe she was able to perform such a dangerous act―and Max giving her that adorably awkward thumbs-up like a proud father would give to his daughter accomplishing an incredible task.

But then my relief was short-lived because―spoiler alert!―when Angharad attempted to climb back in the passenger cabin, she slipped and tragically fell to her death. And as you can clearly see, she did not slip using her bloodied leg, so certain people out there can now stop indirectly blaming Max for contributing to the cause of her death, okay?! It's already devastating to watch a fan favorite like Angharad die, so let's not blame someone like Max for her demise.

I found it so heartbreaking to see Angharad's body so oddly contorted in that position as Joe held her in his grody arms. Even after so many viewings of this part, it still makes me cry to see someone so fierce and brave like Angharad die off so soon and unable to join the rest of the War Rig Family to the Green Place of Many Mothers.

SLAY HIM, GODDESS!
