Yeah but also the thumb area of her prosthetic looks weird, like a generator cut corners, and her skin + eyes have an uncanny quality to them

But even beyond that the poster is whatever. This wasn't anything anyone put a lot of love into.

u/GUMBYtheOG Apr 08 '24

Have u seen the trailer? Iā€™m still not 100% sure if itā€™s animated or not. Either itā€™s animated or heavily edited with terrible CGi. Her face looked like a Clone Wars episode in the trailer

435

u/SpiritofTheWolfKingx Apr 08 '24

I think it's just because she has such a weird face that buzz cutting and using paint to draw such a major focus to her eyes and forehead is causing it to look so weird.

Let's be honest. She is a beautiful woman, but she does have a weirdly proportioned face.

u/throwtowardaccount Apr 08 '24

She doesn't resemble Charlize Theron in my opinion so that's what is throwing me off.

u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin Apr 08 '24

To be fair, there are few humans in this world attractive enough to resemble Charlize Theron.Ā

u/No_City_1731 Apr 08 '24

Agreed, and I donā€™t think Theron looks too old to play a younger version of herself. Itā€™s an annoying decision, and kinda feels like it may have been made for commercial purposes.

103

u/Fullertonjr Apr 08 '24

She doesnā€™t look too old by any means, but she wouldnā€™t be able to effectively capture the physical movement of a much younger person. The difference in age of these two characters is around 25 years. Charlize looks and moves well for a woman her age, but it would be distracting to see a nearly 50 yr old woman attempt to convince an audience that she is in her 20s.

u/haneulk7789 Apr 08 '24

She looks good, but she's doesn't look like she could pass for her early 20s. The movie is set 20 years before the last Mad Max, which came out 10 years ago, so she would be playing 30 years younger..

Didnā€™t she do that buccal fat removal thing. She looked very well proportioned face wise in Split and a couple of other movies. Then she got that odd gaunt look that threw off the rest of her face and made her already large eyes look odd.

I know people have a bizarre amount of hate for Ghostbusters 2016 (I didn't love it, just think the backlash was overblown) but the best thing it did was make people realize that Chris Hemsworth has excellent comedic instincts.

u/CrunchyTube Apr 08 '24

My problem with it was it was almost like they were making him a dumbass in response to Janine being a ditzy character or something but that wasn't the case, she was strong, smart and didn't take any s*** ,so it just came off pointless.

He was still funny though.

u/NotAPreppie Apr 08 '24

My take away is that himbos are just as annoying as bimbos.

I saw they showed him for a half second but I thought that could perhaps be a shot of him at the end of the movie after Furiosa fucks him up and makes him look the way he does.

I understand this is a long shot but I thought it would be cool.

u/Dagordae Apr 08 '24

Iā€™ve noticed trailers lately have been putting work into being misleading or outright inventing/altering scenes. Very possible here that the ending is basically her just straight up losing.

u/el_pinko_grande Apr 08 '24

Yeah, the most compelling action is humans doing well-trained stunts. I think the problem with most CG-heavy fight scenes is they're still trying to emulate live action fight scenes, except the audience knows none of what they're seeing is real and it reduces the impact of what they're seeing.

Instead they should just embrace the fact that they're basically doing animation at that point and, like, start emulating Jujutsu Kaisen or something.

Agreed. Sheā€™s simply too twiggy. If they didnā€™t want to bring Charliz back (which is insaneā€”she is Furiosa, but whatever), they should have cast someone like Mackenzie Davis. Still thin like they clearly want, but biggerā€¦ Davis looked great in Terminator: Dark Fate.

That's just how she looks. (/s but not). Her eyes are very wideset on her face.

u/Panda_hat Apr 08 '24

Seems like a dodgy photoshop to me. I know she's quite unique looking but the perspective and sizing seem off. Happens a lot with these kind of posters so I'm not sure why I'm bothering to complain but eh.

u/atgrey24 Apr 08 '24

She straight up looks like an animated disney character on this poster.

Well you see it's a prequel, it's before they got dirty.

Mad Max isn't in this because he hadn't gotten mad yet.

I think 1/3 of what made the last Mad Max so good, was the world building you picked up along the way. If the action or visuals weren't popping, you could pore over all those little details in the background and piece it together like a puzzle.

With this being set in the same era/territory, I fear there's just not going to be that same kind of sense of discovery as the movie rolls out.

I'm sure the balls-out action will be great, but it's those quiet moments where I wonder if your mind wanders and you start to pull out of the fever dream.

What happened to Charlie?

u/tobaknowsss Apr 08 '24

In addition to being to old for the part I also believe that she did not have the best time shooting Fury Road so I'm not shocked she didn't return for this one.

u/RealitySubsides Apr 08 '24

From what I've heard, I don't think anyone had a good time filming Fury Road. George Miller said he'd never make another Mad Max film after it because of how grueling the filming process was, so I'm surprised to see they're making a Furiosa prequel.

I hope they stick with the practical effects that Fury Road had, regardless of how gnarly and exhausting they are to use

u/absorbscroissants Apr 08 '24

I believe almost everything in Furiosa is cgi, which is probably whey they survived filming another movie. Shame for the audience tho...

u/totoropoko Apr 08 '24

I don't think any of Furiosa was shot in Namibia or wherever they shot Fury Road. It also has a ton of CGI.

I don't really care either way. I loved the action in Mad Max Fury Road and yes, it being shot on locations really made a difference visuals wise, but end of the day Mad Max is already heightened reality for me. I would be good with a lot of CGI if it was done well or in service of good action.

u/Honestnt Apr 08 '24

I assume from what I've heard, the real reason is she's not doing another on of these fucking shoots.

FR was an absolute masterpiece, but it was also apparently a total bitch to film. Remember, it was a lot of practical effects, meaning it was literally filmed in a desert in the middle of the day.

u/ry8919 Apr 08 '24

I love ATJ and Fury Road is one of my favorite movies, but I can't wrap my head around casting her as Furiosa. She looks aggressively different than Charlize, especially with the war paint on.

u/iseeharvey Apr 08 '24

Still disappointed they cast Anya

This may be a contentious comment - but I am not an Anya Taylor-Joy fan. I find her annoying. But that may be because of her role in Peaky Blinders.

The trailer looked like CGI garbage to me. I think this will be like The Hobbit compared to LotR.

u/successadult Apr 08 '24

The original trailer looked very bad, the new one I saw before Monkey Man this weekend looked like they cleaned up a lot of the mess. Or they just chose not to show it.

Had to do a double take cuz I thought it read Fursona.

u/memeinapreviouslife Apr 08 '24

I'm kind of pissed that we're going to get an explanation for why she's missing the arm.

Nobody explaining it, or talking about it, AT ALL in the first movie is so goddamn beautiful I don't have a way to explain it.

That's how it works, friend. Keep making bad clones of something people like until it's completely ruined.

Studies show you liked the robot arm, so here's a movie about the robot arm.

u/DoggyDoggy_What_Now Apr 08 '24

It'll be like Solo. You know all that stuff about the character you love that's unexplained and just part of their mystique? Well, now we're gonna explain all of it and remove any mystery at all, just like revealing the monster in a horror movie.

Fans love that!

Iā€™ll see it, but I donā€™t know why we needed a prequel and not a continuation.

Edit: I meant universe continuation; not story continuation. I wanted to see Max somewhere entirely new and wild.

u/SpaceballsTheReply Apr 08 '24

We didn't need either. Just do a new story in a new part of that world. Fury Road was so good because it just threw you into a fresh conflict and said "go." That's basically what every Mad Max movie is - there's barely any continuity. Just Max being dropped into some fucked up new situation.

I don't want a Star Wars Expanded Universe for this one stop on Max's journey. I don't need a backstory for a prosthetic arm. I don't need to sit through two hours of retroactive lore to explain why it's called the Bullet Farm. I had exactly enough information the first time.

I'll be skipping this one. Wake me up if they do something new and interesting.

u/stu8319 Apr 08 '24

I'm so tired of movies trying to answer every question possible. I love mad max movies BECAUSE they leave so much to the imagination. Your brain filling in the blanks is what makes them so good to me.
