FURY ROAD COMIC CON TRAILER IS HERE!

[flightsuit]

I can't tell if flightsuit is for real or goofing on us. People (including children) are killed, maimed, even raped in all the Mad Max movies. But a 2-headed cgi lizard is quickly stomped out and you're taking the high road now? Again, are you for real?

Yes, people are raped in Mad Max, but it's not Max himself doing the raping.

You seriously can't understand how showing a movie's hero engage in an act of cruelty sends a very different message from showing a villain engage in an act of cruelty?

And pointing out that the victim is a CGI character is completely missing the point, unless you believe the women raped in Mad Max films were actually raped in real life during the shooting of those scenes.

Thanks for making light of the issue of animal welfare.

I wonder how many kids in the real world will emulate Max's actions in that scene, using real animals?

Good news:
Only the psychotic ones. The ones that would've done it regardless of the movie they watched. If you seriously think that just every kid out there is a ticking time bomb that'll start murdering animals because of a movie they saw you clearly have no idea how this kind of behavior works.

No, not only the psychotic ones. Movies and TV shows teach viewers what is and isn't normal behavior. Abundant studies exist which demonstrate that viewers, especially young viewers, become desensitized to the violence they see on screen and are more likely to act out that violence in real life.

But this is really a much larger issue than whether or not some kids will literally stomp on animals because they watched that scene. It is a much, much larger issue about having respect for animal life and not snuffing it out for no damned reason.

You want to hunt and eat a boar or a deer? More power to you. I eat meat all the time.

But to send a message that it's a cool, tough, rugged hero thing to just stomp on an innocent animal simply because it's there? That is fucking disgusting, and it is a sick society that tolerates or glorifies such behavior, even in fictional form.


But no, I don't expect many people here will allow themselves to reckon with the truth of what I've just said. The Mad Max franchise is a sacred cow, after all, and we are only allowed to criticize certain aspects of it, in ways that are acceptable, right?

He kills it for food. In the extended trailer he eats it.

They must be somewhat common in the area as the BoB is decked out with skulls of the lizards and he even has a net in the back.

If this is true, I am very glad to hear that. As I said, I am totally OK with humanely killing animals for food.

I check the forum, turn my head for a moment to watch a 1974 Hammer film vampire movie , and go back to the internet to check IMDb. Hey, there is a trailer for MM4FR
I just check in on the MM forum and see there is suddenly a 5 page topic already about the trailer. Damn, thats fast Edit: While typing it had already gone to page 6

But the trailer is absolutely jaw-dropping. Most of the vehicles are in it. The tanker, (Couldn't see the Merc, though) Gigahorse, some of the small custom cars, Ripsaw and more.
It even has a little nod to MM2TRW. There is a shot of a motorcycle getting under the wheels of the tanker.

I just saw it about 4 times. But it is absolutely not the last time. Just to find out more details.
But it is really: Mad Mad's gone over the top

On first viewing of the trailer my reaction was one of disappointment, there was no Mel as Mad Max. It just didnt look like a Mad Max film to me.

I have now watched the trailer about a dozen times and my opinion has changed a lot - I think it looks fatastic!!! The chase scenes look awesome, action packed and are true to the original spirit of the Mad Max George Miller created 35 years ago.

Do we see Coma-doof Warrior meeting his end? As there is clearly a guitar player flying through the air as the vehicle clahes with the spiked digger vehicle - perhaps end chase scene? As the battle truck has vehicles charging it from the opposite direction.

There is an arieal shot of Gigahorse, Coma-Doof Speaker Truck and the Mercedes Truck chasing the Battletruck - is this the final chase scene? I recall the plans were leaked on the board of how the final chase would look and how vehicles would be positioned.

Does the single tank on the BoB carry water this time rather than petrol?

There are homages to the originals in this trailer - motorbike clashing with the battletruck trailer as ready mentioned.

The long haired brunette with the rifle could be a reference to Warrior Woman

The Blonde girl on the bonnet of the vehicle may be a reference to the feral kid on the Mack Truck in RW.

I haven't had a chance to watch it again, did they cut out Nux yelling "It's a lovely day!"?

Yeah... I try to avoid talking to nutjobs in real life as well as the internet. Maybe you should avoid violent movies if it upsets you so much then lecturing to the wrong crowd. I'm done with you.

First of all, somebody else here said that in the extended trailer, Max eats the lizard, thus rendering this entire conversation moot, because if he's killing it for food, instead of just killing it to be a tough guy, then nobody who's not a vegetarian could possibly have an issue with it.

Now then, you think objecting to a cinematic glorification of violence against animals makes a person a nutjob? Wow, that's really sad.

You say I'm lecturing the wrong crowd? So, in other words, I am wrong to assume that the Mad Max fan community contains people who are ethical? Again, how sad.

Lastly, even if you take away the ethical concerns regarding whether this movie is glorifying violence against animals, what about the simple desire of a fan to see a character he's very invested in portrayed as a decent human being?

If the next Star Wars film depicted Han Solo or Princess Leia as sadists who kill animals for no good reason, you'd better believe Disney would have an angry fan revolt on its hands. Why should I, as a Mad Max fan, be any different?

Another huge masterpiece from Miller which will get bashed just because... oh well, no logic reasons.

The movie looks gorgeous and out of this world - I never experienced something similar - and it feels dangerous and menacing.

Face it, "The Road Warrior" looks like Coca Cola lite when compared to this.

P.s: the fucking lizard has two heads.
