Looking for a certain Mad Max tumblr post
Hi all,
I remember reading a post about Mad Max, and specifically about the Furiosa vs. Max fighting scene.
Someone was explaining that, when fighting with Max, Furiosa's first and foremost goal was to kill him, because she knew her chances of overpowering an opponent who is physically stronger were really small. To her and to the wives, men posed a threat that had to be eliminated as soon as possible, and they didn't have time to overthink it, because if the threat comes too close, they might not have the necessary strangth to overpower it.
There was an explanation how biological differences (body build, physical strength) influence the fighting style and the reasons for fighting (Furiosa - to eliminate the threat and to survive, Max - to get a grip/control so that he could assess the situation without being killed).
There was also an analysis of the Vuvalini women fighting style - they have to be perfect sniper shooters, because they wouldn't have much luck in close-quarters fight with men / war boys.
Apologies, if I twisted some facts around, I read it only once, but enjoyed it very much. I'd love to read it again. :)
