    I saw an interesting commentary of a guy who really liked Furiosa.

    He said if Hollywood hadn't kill their goodwill with all the DEI girl bosses. Furiosa is a good character who happens to be female. She is a not a Mary Sue or Cringy character.

    Furiosa should be a action heroine everyone could get behind like Ripley or Sarah Conner. But no one saw the movie because no one trusts Hollywood to make good movies or good characters.

    My problem with this movie is not the Furiosa character. In Fury Road i really appreciated her, strong but also fragile, with quirks and not infallible.

    My problem is that is not Mad Max.
    I like that anti-hero character, that finds itself reluctantly involved in other people's affair and problems.
    The setting is a nice and vivid background but nothing too much interesting or complicated that can be developed in a meaningful way outside its main character (as it was for House of Dragons).
    So, even if the movie is a nice piece of action, with no Mad Max i'm very little interested in it. I'll take a look when it will be available on some platform.

    A sign of progress in the culture war. Executives haven't seen the writing on the wall, but some actresses have.

    It's been enjoyable watching the Drinker vent his fury upon the latest Star Wars-flavoured mess to come from Disney+:






    I feel partly guilty for using such great characters as Master Thundering Rhino and particularly Lord Shen to depict two of the modern world's vilest corporate villains, but to make use of the original and superior form of this meme, I will do what I must:
