If the image in the thumbnail is anything to go by then that's pathetic. "Girl boss" is a BS category like Mary Sue. It exists to be sexist. Men are never called male bosses or man-bosses; just bosses,. Under no circumstances will anybody ever do anything like what Bruce Willis did in Die Hard. Your average male cop or agent more likely looks like Bruce Willis than Arnold, and trained male agents can't do what he did in Die Hard either.
Funny. Nobody shits on Ripley, Sarah Connor, Alita Battle Angel, etc cause they are well written characters. If you don't want to be called a girl boss or a Mary sue write better characters. Unfortunately none of these people. Especially at Disney actually know how to write female characters. So they end up just mirroring Male characteristics..Or are too afraid to show any of their female characters as vulnerable. I think in this instance he's calling her a girl boss cause she's the female lead in an action film...Which is quite frankly not as popular has Male led action stars..Nor does Female lead action stars actually put females in the seats. Yet they insist on doing it no matter how much it fails. Also nerd said the movie was good. And its probably the best action movie of a year Actually, Alita took flack for it not being a Japanese cast. Anime fans hate 90% of the live action anime films, I swear. Nerdrotic bitched it was a mad Max film without Max which is stupid. It is set in that universe, but isn't about Max, so why insert him? jeffersoncodyTo frame it, it is like saying Donald Trump should be in every film set in NYC in the 80s & 90s because he lived there, making it "Trump Universe" Max can't be in every corner of the Wasteland. SwimmThe character is well written. As I said, Joe comes off better when seen against the big dreams/no managerial skills Dementus (who has to have the most lines in the film. Loves to talk). He rules through violence, not skill. We see the child version of Furiosa for around half the film. By the time Taylor-Joy appears, we have a grip on how single minded Furiosa is (maybe like John Wick is described as similarly Lazer focused on his goal)

It is a good movie. The action is cars, motorcycles, etc. So the argument must be a woman can't drive a car as well as a guy? Isnt that stupid as fuck? Not in Colorado it isn't. Especially if said woman drives a RAM truck. Usually a white RAM truck. They seem to think all that bulk means they are the only person on the road and everyone else is Lux a NPC. ... Been driving a truck since 1983. No accidents on my record. D-50 OK, then hubby got a minivan which I hated (drove like a tank). Currently have a Frontier.

Saw trailers for Furiosa as far back as January and some posters posted off topic threads about the movie on the board. Good for you. I didn't see any hype. On this very website, I got bombarded with ads for the film. It had a $100 million+ marketing budget. I've seen previews for this film for almost a year, and there's at least 3 standees at my local movie theatre, which is two more than for any other film. A film that didn't have a lot of hype that you'd have to be a nerd to hear about is Boy Kills World. Despite being produced by Sam Raimi and actually being a good film, it opened 10th at the box office.

But you are not going to because it’s too Woke. It's not woke. It is the same male dominated universe as the other films.

The first film made $7.7 mill off a $400,000 budget Road Warrior made $23.6 million off a $4.6 million budget so $36 mill off a $10 million budget for Thunderdome was probably iffy for the studio. Fury Road made $380 mill with a $185 mill budget. So the film with the chick action hero did better than the initial trilogy.
Are you adjusting for inflation?
1 = 20x
RW = 5x
T = 3.6x
FR = 2x

It's flopped. A movie about a cartoon cat is doing better at the box office. No, Garfield came in a close second. Which is not great for a family movie to bring the kids to watch. When Fury Road came out, Pitch Perfect 2 dominated it during the opening weekend. But overall, Fury Road beat it out in total box office and nobody talks about Pitch Perfect 2. The real issue is because people just don't like going to theaters as much as they used to.Totally FALSE!
Theaters keep beating records after records yet some people keep repeating this same lie over and over again?

I think The Road Warrior was a pretty decent hit, but I might be wrong. It got a lot harder for R rated movies to be big hits when they started enforcing the age limits, which they really didn't do back in the 80s. The Road Warrior was the one that broke the series in the US. Most of the fans hadn't seen the first film priot to that. Then people were not real happy with Thunderdome. I remember "real fans" calling it a sellout. Not unlike fansfeeling a band having a hit record was seen as selling out It cost $10 million to make The first film made $7.7 mill off a $400,000 budget Road Warrior made $23.6 million off a $4.6 million budget so $36 mill off a $10 million budget for Thunderdome was probably iffy for the studio. Fury Road made $380 mill with a $185 mill budget. So the film with the chick action hero did better than the initial trilogy. Considering the shot of Max is him at his car eating something & seeing Furiosa collapse after escaping after losing the arm, using the stunt guy makes sense. It is a long shot with Max around mid-screen & Furiosa in the distance. It's just sad a section of modern fans are so invested in stuff failing. Remember people whining about Solo because fanboys felt Disney should have cast Harrison Ford & de-aged him? But they hated the last Indy because there was a chick in it? Modern fans are fickle Fan boys are jerks, most of them. There will always be complaints.
Box office of Fury Rd, compared to budget listed, it only doubled its budget. Mad Max and Mad Max 2 made around 5-6 times their budget individually. Thunderdome was a sell-out, due to its pg13rating and making it more family orientated. I dislike it immensely. It gets worse at it plays out.

I was gonna go see it tomorrow. Loved the Mad Max films Thanks for saving me money. jeffersoncody I think you should go and see it and make up your own mind Casey. This guy is talking about why the film flopped, he actually says there was a lot he enjoyed about the movie and that George Miller is a fine director. You're right. I will go see it. Thanks.

If the image in the thumbnail is anything to go by then that's pathetic. "Girl boss" is a BS category like Mary Sue. It exists to be sexist. Men are never called male bosses or man-bosses; just bosses, but the idea that a comparable female onscreen is a girl boss is lame. Under no circumstances will anybody ever do anything like what Bruce Willis did in Die Hard. Your average male cop or agent more likely looks like Bruce Willis than Arnold, and trained male agents can't do what he did in Die Hard either.
"Girl-boss" as a criticism holds onto the idea that women just don't fit into these roles, which is BS because movies are movies. They're not real. It's not like Arnold could really fight the Predator. He'd be dead in two seconds if he tried.
Arnold gets his ass beat in Predator:
This girl beats one all by herself:
After killing like 8 men:
Sexist, Christ. Can you people make a point without throwing an accusation at people who disagree with you?

Can you? I made my point just fine without accusing anybody of anything. Who did I accuse of what? What are you talking about? Who's you people? I'm one person.
