      The 2nd in command did betray him.
      His men are the ones that attack the war rig when furiosa wasnt the 2nd pretorian yet.
      And the new son of Joe is the main antagonist of the video game.
      He dies on that game by Mas hands.

    There is actually an incredible amount of world building and attention to detail in these films. Like how the different towns communicate with each other. You can see them using mirrors to shine light at each other. They also use flares to send messages.
    Maggots are used to clean wounds since they eat gangrenous flesh while leaving healthy flesh alone, and secrete a chemical that induces blood clotting and prevents wounds from bleeding out. They're also a good source of protein. It's safer to eat maggots living off of corpses than the corpses. George Miller was a doctor so he probably thought about that.
    The guy who calls Dementus scum for killing his men was the Octoboss so he does betray Dementus and goes rogue.
    Immortan Joe's other son Scrotus is the villain in the Mad Max game.

    The reason why Furiosa doesn't just take off sooner is because the War Rig isn't just sitting on the ground waiting to be driven at any time. They make it clear that all of the vehicles are pulled up into the Citadel and only lowered to the ground when they are needed. It takes several people to operate the wheel that raises and lowers the platform, and the War Rig is massive.
    Additionally, she needed the extra tanker of gas to trade with the bikers in exchange for safe passage through the canyon and for them to blow up the passage so they can't be followed. If Immortan Joe was able to follow them to the Green Place, it would have been raided.
    She also needed time to make sure that Immortan Joe completely trusted her so she could pull it off. She learned in Furiosa that she's better off biding her time, learning the rules of road war, making deals, and creating allegiances, before taking off. She also learned how important it was to keep the secret of the Green Place from outsiders, even her own mother wouldn't give up the information despite being tortured.
    So it all makes perfect sense why she waited and did things the way she did.

Like she made her whole life about saving these 5 women rather than the ones being milked etc. Very odd I thought she'd at least be mothered by a couple or something... but no she just sort of decides these 5 people who live in the most luxury in the whole wastes deserve even more luxury... whilst a whole citadel festers and suffers around her.

      In the first one, the wars that killed the world only just began; and while gangs were picking the world apart there was still living plants, oceans, and a society. The second movie is after many people were forced to live without a government, but they still existed at least nominally. By the third movie, all cities and towns were ruined, with only settlements like Gastown, Bartertown, the Bullet Farm, and Citadel still standing.

    About the blood bags: Mad Max is a post apocalyptic setting, and as such radiation is a concern. You see Nux talking about the two lumps he has in his neck as well. The War Boys are probably riddled with radiation associated cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, and as such might need the blood transfusions to keep themselves going, even if just a little bit longer.

    Also, the men on stilts are the men that have been banished from the female society where Furiosa grew up. That used to be the Green Place but the water became irradiated.
    Furiosa didn't give any kind of password to the woman in the tower. She merely told them who she is and who her mother was.

    So about Master: He IS intelligent, he was the one who devised the methane power system, and was speaking in pidgin only until after he escaped Aunty, when he began talking normally. A theory is he speaks in pidgin to trick others into thinking he wouldn't be able to explain how the engineering works, which gave him an added layer of security.
    Also, the Gyro Captain from Road Warrior and Jedediah from Thunderdome are two separate people played by the same actor, same as how Hugh Keays-Byrne plays Toecutter and Immortan Joe, and how Josh Helman plays Slit in Fury Road and Sabrous Scrotus in Furiosa.

    I enjoyed the video but there's a lot of small things you either missed or got wrong. Mainly details of the original films or mistakes in editing. One example being the wrong character being shown when nicholas hoult is named. He played Nux not the Staple mouth guy. Another is that the baby DOES show up before the Junkyard, I think you either weren't paying attention to the film or didn't realize it was their kid (somehow)
    These are minor but in the future I would suggest paying a little more attention to the films or doing a little more research into them and including that in the overall Essay

It's also made pretty obvious by how he and max talk to each other like they don't know each other.

Secondly, it's a metaphor for the green place. A single plant that is their last hope that they cling on and get themselves out of danger. Lastly, what's wrong with pushing the war rig?

To combat this, a metal sheet was installed just behind the truck’s grill guard. Look closely at the truck’s front end when it hits Toecutter. You can see the headlights & other details are painted on. I’ve seen the first Mad Max so many times & never noticed that until someone in another video pointed it out.

    Elvis, dude, I love your videos, I won't even argue much about the nitpicky way in which you judge even good films, but Mad Max 2 is the BEST film in the series, not the worst.
    Be a bit more of a sane person and don't show the idiocy of dog lovers so much.
    It baffles me to no end, how you can be fine with the worst violence against human beings, often including even kids, but make a fuss about a single dog who might live 15 years or so in reality.
    It's like, kill 100 humans in a film in gruesome ways, don't care. Kill one frigging mutt, "that makes the film 2 points worse."
    It's so ridiculous. I love cats, I don't like to see cats getting hurt, but I wouldn't think a film is worse if a cat is killed in it.
    Why are dog lovers so weird that they can't even stomach seeing a dog hurt in a film or show or game?

    The amount of times you complain about something not making sense... they're movies!
