Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Well, maybe they should have advertised it more. I didn't hear anything about it until after it was released.
Was there Mad Max in Fury Road?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Max:_Fury_Road
Yes, Tom Hardy played Mad Max
I guess I'm so used to having Mel Gibson as Mad Max that I didn't really register that it was the same character.
And isn't that kind of the point, really? There was nothing in that movie that reflected Mad Max as a unique character, other than the "badass dude" heroic action-packed stereotype that we've seen represented in a hundred other movies. Hell, he talks so little in all of the movies that he might as well be one of those silent protags in an video game.
Fair enough, but madmax is literally the title character.
Imagine a James bond film without James bond
Wouldn't you want to see a prequel where you follow Q during college in similar vein to National Lampoon's Animal House as well as a developing issue with the patent office where he tries to file more and more outlandish and dangerous inventions until British Secret Service finds out and recruits him?
That would be cool!
Just don't call it James Bond, if you call it James bond people will expect to see... James bond.
Q: in her majesties service!
Imagine if they made a spin-off show from Better call Saul and named it : Saul - Chicken Run in a Winnebago and Saul barely showed up in it at all, maybe a few seasons in as a totally dismissable side character
People might get disappointed even if this hypothetical spinoff was quite good.
