...I'm sure that part in the secret about the War Boys being unbrainwashed overnight is just, you know, an example that OP thought would illustrate the kind of trend they dislike and not in fact a demand for Fury Road fic to be centered on the cult. Seriously, I'm impressed by your ability to somehow read that into the secret's message. And also this: "the idea that everything falls apart and everyone is alone". Slow clap for drama.

Yeah it was super overwritten but I was in a hurry.

I think I'm focusing particularly on the language of "There's no room in this world for". That's what I really disagree with here. I'm sure that there are people who are executing the idea poorly - and I agree that it would be unrealistic, given their lives to that point, to expect any of the characters to become clones of people from our world.

But the idea that there's no space for those kinds of things - that's what I think is rubbish, there's absolutely space for being together and empathy and construction and reconstruction and recovery in the end of Fury Road. The whole end of Fury Road is about the promise of that, to me. It feels super reflexive and wrong to just dismiss that out of hand as impossible, and that's how I read OP.

Like, people trying to figure out those kinds of things in a really hard world - to me, that's what Fury Road is about, on the most basic level. I'm sure people are writing about that clumsily, but they should definitely be writing about it.
