There were times when it seemed to be parodying itself. Still an enjoyable film,  but -at the time, there were aspects of it that lacked some of the underlying soul of the franchise. Perhaps the strangest thing (for me) about Fury Road was that there were times when the film seemed determined to humiliate Max; he was superfluous to a movie marketed on the back of his name. To me, Furiosa has a grit to it that was somewhat lost to Fury Road's visual spectacle. Furiosa just feels right. It feels like a Mad Max film, with a splash of Conan's sense of sword & sorcery adventure and a touch of a gritty westerns seriousness. It also presents Furiosa (and other characters) in a way that allows her to stand on her own merits, without needing to take positive aspects away from other characters.</blockquote>
