I need to point this out because nobody else is.

Look at Furiosa’s top.

Look how it looks like wrapping. How it’s layered like strips. Compare that to Max’s shirts, the clothes of the Wretched, single pieced.

Look at the fabric.

By gosh, I wonder where she’d get fabric like that.

Hmmm…

Visual storytelling.

lierdumoa:

Furiosa isn’t the female action hero we’re used to. Furiosa doesn’t have a dad who taught her boxing or five brothers who taught her how to fix cars. Furiosa wasn’t a tomboy growing up, who preferred to play with the boys. Furiosa isn’t avenging the murder of her husband/brother/father or hunting down a rapist.

Furiosa comes from a community of women. She was raised by women. She works her way up through enemy ranks until she’s in a position to  rescue women. Furiosa is here for women, she is here with women, and she is here because of women. Her rage, her ruthlessness, her courage – these are all things she learned from women, and from being a woman.
