Why did they add that Scrotus character? He added nothing, looked stupid, and is apparently still alive at the end? Sounds like a scene got cut or something.

I liked Praetorian Jack. He looks like Lee Majors.

To be fair, "My name is Scrotus" or whatever the line is is one of few genuinely funny moments in the movie. Plus, George Miller has another prequel he'd like to make. Mad Max The Wasteland. Scrotus could be part of that. He was kind of an annoying, uninteresting, boring, incompetent character though so it's not like I'm looking forward to seeing more of him

But no more prequels.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

But still this was super fun. And I like that even though it had some more conventional plot beats, Furiosa still only had a few lines.

Also I loved the guys in the parachutes, especially those two who sand-skied behind the motorcycles before taking flight, that was so f'n rad.
