My fault for reading a lot of good coverage / online analysis of some of the points from the movie before seeing it - I was unspoiled on the plot but not so much on the themes. In retrospect it seems more like people were discussing all the stuff using the movie as a jumping point or projecting their own ideas onto it for those articles rather than taking the stuff from the movie itself, which... didn't have all that, or at least not to the extent I'd thought it would.

Agree with you on the female characters though. I also looked them up and was legitimately surprised they had names and were supposed to have characters, because I really did not get that at all. Everyone who did have a character was also awkwardly one note - Max was Brooding Antihero, Furiosa was Typical Videogame Hero, there was the sympathetic guy and the eye candy and the obvious villain and the supporting crew and while its sure nice to have women in those roles, it didn't make the roles and more interesting.

I read stuff about Max being a good ally and all, but on watching it came. off more like this awkward struggle between the want to show Max off as tragic but noble and not really knowing how to do that besides having him save the day for the girls and Furiosa every now and then. Felt a bit off to me.
