Well, it did win the nobel prize for being multifaceted

As did people before COVID

Thank Wheel Jesus for his sacrifice patched all our flats

Exactly, without them it's literally impossible to feel like you aren't fast traveling. The beauty of previous Bethesda games was that you could play the entire game without fast traveling and you would be rewarded almost every time you chose to walk instead of fast travel.

Getting me hyped for Light no Fire

That's honestly my main issue. I got 25 hours in and got frustrated I wasn't getting any cutscenes. Been waiting for a mod to add them every time I travel before I go back

Grover all the way

Thanks for more info, my opinion was definitely wrong and like I said to the other person, thanks for the education instead of judgment. I still don't blame misinformed people for being scared though, because when you don't know all the facts it seems completely wrong to alter a child who can't make it's own decisions. I think the best way to get proper legislation that protects those people is to educate the masses. A good documentary that airs on all the major news channels would be cool. I remember they did that for global warming when I was a kid and I guess it didn't completely work for everyone but it worked for me. Should be all the streaming services this time though.

Nice! I don't disagree with most of what you said about the story except for not liking it. I really enjoy the fast paced action. I also don't mind the story taking a back seat when the action is done as well as it is in that movie.

It's been a few years since I've watched it (maybe before COVID) but to from memory I didn't think they became best friends right away. They were trying to kill each other and the only reason why they stopped was because they were basically on equal playing fields and if they continued fighting the hoard would catch up to them without either of them escaping. They already had a common enemy, the only reason they were fighting was because Max wanted to GTFO and leave them, while Furiosa was trying to protect her homies. Once Max figured out he wouldn't be able to drive the truck anyway and Furiosa realized Max won't try to hurt her friends is when they started opening up more. For me, that's plenty.

Another story centric scene I liked a lot was when they ran into the old women from Furiosa's tribe. I forget it's people acting in that scene, the pain and longing in Furiosa's eyes is so tangible and realistic. Plus "badass old ladies" is such an awesome device and I think they did a really good job at executing that.

Thanks for coming back with a well thought out opinion. Like I said earlier, you're the first person I've seen dislike it, but everything you said makes complete sense. I think it's just a matter of taste and what we grew up watching. I also haven't watched the mad max movies with Mel Gibson, I tried watching the first one after I saw fury road and I don't think I got 20 minutes in. It didn't even feel apocalyptic at all, like weren't there cops😂? I'm sure it's great but I was expecting 80s style "war boys" and something fast paced like fury road. I might go back and try again because I just realized maybe it shows the world fall apart and I am interested in seeing that. I just thought it would already be post apocalyptic and it just seemed like 80s Australia to me, my favorite thing about fury road is the world around him being so goddamn interesting and unique, never saw anything like it when it came out. And haven't seen anyone do it better so far.

What is your favorite mad max movie?

Thank you for educating me instead of getting mad. I appreciate it. You have successfully changed my opinion on the matter.

Come back and let me know if you do. Even if you still don't like it I'm curious how you would expand that opinion. When it comes to fury road I've been in an echo chamber. You're the first person I've seen dislike it.

Edit: I hope at the very least you agree it's not fast and furious though, I took that personally 😂

You've changed my opinion enough for me to believe that in rare circumstances hormone blockers could be okay. But I don't think it should be the child or the parents decision. It should be a psychological professional that decides. If the kid goes to therapy every month/week from the time they decide they are in the wrong body until they would need the drugs and the medical professionals decides it's more than consistent and not just a kid saying stupid shit then fine. But I'm just imagining me as a kid saying something like that then the adults in my life changing me forever even though I didn't really understand what I was saying. I said/believed a lot of stupid shit as a kid so the idea of my body changing forever because I said something, really scares me.

Mainly because they're a child. When I was a young kid I thought I was and acted like a dog. If my mom then got me a collar and only let me potty outside that would also be child abuse.

That being said you have opened my mind more and I don't think it's nearly as bad as I initially thought. I still don't think it's great though. I also think choosing not to give your kid hormone blockers definitely isn't imposing a choice on them. It's literally just letting their body do what is was always going to do.

So you're saying if we had a set of identical twins and only one of them was on hormone blockers until they were 20, their body would grow to look exactly the same as the twin who wasn't on the blockers?

I just reread what you said and I've never heard that take. Your saying the drugs they're giving them doesn't actually alter them forever? I don't see how missing puberty while your body is growing wouldn't effect you forever. When boys go through puberty they get physically larger and stronger, when girls go through it, they're body changes in physical ways as well. If they didn't get puberty until they're body stops growing wouldn't that just keep them stuck with a child's body for the rest of their life?

Enabling a child to make a life altering decision before they're brain is fully developed is child abuse.

My initial apology was only after reading your response. Your reaction to my correction is what made me think I sounded judgemental. It was mainly asking me if it was "okay" that you've never seen an Arctic Fox, which of course it is, but your comment before that literally implied you had seen them. Whether you had or not that is what it implied. Then I re read what I actually said and realized you're just a sensitive asshole.

Happy blocking 👋

Gee wiz buddy. I wasn't trying to get under your skin. You shouldn't let internet comments make you this upset. I was correcting something I saw, chill the fuck out. You said yourself you didn't even mean to say what I was correcting. So I don't understand all this hatred coming from you. Unless you did actually mean it and feel bad that an uneducated random internet person got the better of you so you're just trying to save face by saying you misspoke. But if that isn't what's happening there is absolutely no reason to be this upset.

I upvoted because the first part made me laugh. But I wholeheartedly disagree. Fast and Furious is legitimately stupid. I thought fury road's story was great. "Concubines of an abusive king in a post apocalyptic world escape his clutches and mad max helps fight off their pursuers" is as good a concept as any. It's not citizen kane but it's also not supposed to be. It's an action/adventure movie with really good performances and incredible visuals. The fact that the story makes sense and has a lot of interesting moments (like Max's PTSD or whatever those flashes of that kid were) means it can't be compared to fast and furious.

But I want to see them fuck.
