so here’s something about fury road i don’t get, in hindsight

(yeah i’m in mad max mode tonight and for the unforeseeable future, sorry)

but…why is joe and the rest of the war party kind of just sitting around doing nothing by the time the war rig comes back their way? they were at least a day, maybe two, behind the group and they were just…sitting there.

lots of them were on lookout, sure, but joe had no way of knowing they’d come back around. was he waiting for the bullet farmer to come back with the wives? did he wonder what was taking him so long? what would he have done if they made good on the plan to go across the salts?

    My wife brought up the same question after our first viewing. I like what people have suggested about Joe being in...

  6. rabbitmagic said: Actually Joe was done at that point. He was full on in mourning (why he was singing to that septer) after Splendid and the baby died. He did very much love her, but in the impersonal, possessive way that you would love a precious possession.
