After some time digesting the film here are the conclusions I took away from the experience.
Furiosa is NOT Fury Road. Even though i was sort of prepared for some of the changes and different approach they we're going to have i was not prepared for how much more different it actually was going to be.
Furiosa is a myth. It's prone to exaggeration as its passed down through generations or simply retold from different perspectives over and over again. It's a story with a ton of flourishes, it's very big in scope and ideas, it's chocking, raw and brutal. There's a dreamlike/nightmarish quality to it and it's very much like a fever dream.
I'm 100% willing to give this film another shot and i'm gonna rewatch it with adjusted hopes and expectations. I'll make use of Immortan Joe's words with a tweek of my own to get my point across.
“Do not, my friends, become addicted to Fury Road, It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence."
