Mad Max series

She's already on the verge, but if this film does well (critically and/or financially), it will certainly solidify her as a household name.

Edit: ooh, first time being a page starter.

I've been a fan of Mad Max ever since I first saw The Road Warrior in the late 90's, and so far I've enjoyed all of the movies. I'm quite hopeful about Furiosa, but most of all I am curious about seeing the first movie without Max. Sure, Max has been the Supporting Protagonist in most installments, while the Show, Don't Tell Worldbuilding has more or less become the focus of the franchise over the years. But this is the first movie where we get to see how entertaining the world can be without him at all, if it's interesting enough to not just be a generic post-apocalyptic film. I'm not really worried at all, since we have a familiar character taking center-stage, along with a mostly familiar rogues gallery, while the same director is still in charge. I think that George Miller's vision and direction is what has so far been the unifying factor, which gives the franchise its feel. That's why I'd be more anxious about a hypothetical Mad Max sequel directed by anybody else.

I just find it peculiar to have a movie where the title character does not even appear. At least don't call it Mad Max, then. Call it Mad Furiosa.

Huh, that suddenly sounds a lot sillier.

I don't mind the subtitle being A Mad Max Saga. It tells you that this story whether or not it's about him is still associated with that world. I mean then again, people would've also know that if they called it A Fury Road Saga instead probably/maybe—and Fury Road as it was focused more on Furiosa anyway.

Yeah, A Fury Road Saga would make more sense as a subtitle.
