George Miller really takes his time to deliver entries in the Mad Max film series, with Fury Road arriving three decades after its predecessor. There’s a prequel set to join the ranks in the near future, this one focusing on the character of Furiosa in her younger days.
With quite a while to wait for the prequel to roll out, fans have already taken out their wish lists of what they want to see most from Furiosa. These include dozens of points, although only certain of those are worth looking into. The prequel will do well to follow up on these things in order to satisfy fans’ demands.
10 Young Immortan Joe Gradually Becoming More Sinister
There’s been widespread excitement over watching the younger Immortan Joe, who tops the list of characters fans want to see. The appeal to this is the high likelihood of seeing a less evil side of Immortan Joe as he develops into the fiend he became.
His turn toward the worst can be mapped out in the prequel where he can start off as a man who doesn’t necessarily intend to be such a dictator, but then gives in to his dark desires and embraces the loss of his soul.
9 Immortan Joe Capturing His Wives
Immortan Joe never would have been one of the most standout villains of the previous decade had he not engaged in atrocious acts. One of these was his habit of taking in certain women to be his wives, the escape of whom was the basis of Fury Road.
The prequel needn’t bring all of these characters back, with it being a better choice to actually show how Immortan captured these women. It would bring clarification as to how the system of taking wives began and exactly how many women had to suffer this fate.
8 The Lifestyle Of A Slave At The Citadel
Everyone under Immortan Joe’s command was basically a slave, and life at the Citadel looked hellish in every way. Still, this was only shown sparsely during Mad Max: Fury Road, owing to the need of presenting Max and Furiosa’s story.
The prequel should dedicate some time to fully portraying the hardships of life in this cruel environment to cement the fact that Immortan Joe kept things at the worst level. It should also deliver a portion of the runtime entirely through the eyes of a slave.
7 Furiosa's Childhood
It’s recommended to watch earlier Mad Max films before Furiosa so as to get into the mind frame of this universe. That won’t be a necessity if the prequel shows Furiosa’s younger days, as the point of view of a child in this world will definitely leave a mark.
Of course, there’s the fact that Fury Road left out a lot of information over Furiosa’s upbringing but never portrayed it on-screen, which sounds like a natural thing to expand upon for the prequel. Furiosa’s ties to the Valkyrie can finally be seen in full this way.
6 How Furiosa Lost Her Arm
It didn’t make a difference that Furiosa was suffering from the lack of an arm as she was still among the most dangerous characters in Mad Max: Fury Road. That didn’t stop fans from wondering why she had a prosthetic arm.
With the prequel set to look into a younger Furiosa, it would be appropriate to shed light on the exact reason why she lost her arm. There’s a high chance it was lost due to her activities under Immortan Joe, but the speculation won’t stop unless the real event is revealed.
5 Flashforward To Present-Day
Just because Furiosa is a prequel it doesn’t mean the story has to strictly remain in the past. While Mad Max: Fury Road had a very conclusive ending, there’s still a general wondering whether the people at the Citadel managed to remain civil after losing Immortan Joe’s influence.
The use of flash-forwards can be employed in order to confirm what became of Furiosa in the present-day, which would not only make for good parallels to the past but also give a reason for original actress Charlize Theron to return.
4 The Events Leading Up To Furiosa Working For Immortan Joe
Given how much she despised Immortan Joe, it’s difficult to see why she was a willing participant of his regime when Mad Max: Fury Road began. There’s a possibility that Furiosa only shows her adventures before she came across Immortan Joe, but this would be the wrong way to go.
Instead, Furiosa should build-up to the events that cause the titular character to align herself with Immortan Joe and portray her experiences straight after establishing herself as part of the Citadel. This will also establish the overall nature of the two characters’ dynamic.
3 The Way Immortan Joe Brainwashed The People
The state of the people under Immortan Joe’s control was bonkers, and it’s strange how these characters lived by being malnourished and riddled with illnesses yet still hopped into the dangerous cars and did Joe’s bidding.
It was clear in Mad Max: Fury Road that Immortan Joe used his charisma to effectively brainwash the people, but this had to have been done on a large scale and needs to actually be shown on-screen. Watching the younger Immortan Joe perfect his cult of personality will make for an intriguing watch.
2 Nux's Upbringing
The character of Nux was a breakout one in Mad Max: Fury Road and undoubtedly among the best performances of Nicholas Hoult. By the beginning of the film, he was a dedicated war boy for Immortan Joe whose only dream was to die and go to Valhalla.
The younger Nux needs to be portrayed in all the ways that motivated him to think that death was the only purpose of his life. The diseases he was suffering from can also be fully communicated in the prequel, along with establishing the limits to his craziness.
1 A Look At The Apocalyptic World
There aren’t many movies all that similar to this series as the main character keeps moving around. Being a drifter, Max doesn’t stay long in one place, although the films always focus on his adventures in a particular and end when he sets out in the world.
Furiosa should fully bring this apocalyptic world to light by showing numerous communities that exist and how the wasteland looks at a stretch. With this being a prequel, the world doesn’t need to be as desolate and could feature additional, more creative settlements that Furiosa visits.
