The Splendid Angharad - Tumblr Posts

OKAY. THAT’S FUCKING IT.

Y’all need to stop saying that Max contributed to the death of Angharad because as you can CLEARLY SEE from this screengrab...

SHE DID NOT SLIP ON HER BLOODIED FOOT.

Oh, what’s that? You want this moment in slow-motion GIF, you say?!

I FUCKING REPEAT FOR ALL YOU MAX ROCKATANSKY BLAMERS

ANGHARAD

DID

NOT

FUCKING

SLIP

ON

HER

B  L  O  O  D  I  E  D

F  O  O  T

OKAY?!

To be clear, I had thought the same thing when I first watched the movie, but after several repeat viewings and actually paying REALLY CLOSE ATTENTION to the subtle details, I saw that Angharad’s death wasn’t any of Max’s fault AT ALL. And for good measure, the metal pipe on the War Rig where she stepped on (using her UNINJURED LEG, I might add) does not even have any visible trace of blood coming from her injured leg that would have been the cause of her lost footing.

Seriously, the fandom needs to signal boost this shit because I have FUCKING HAD IT with all these people blaming Angharad’s death on Max when it clearly shows that her untimely and undeserved demise was just an unfortunate and tragic accident that did not have anything to do with Max’s bullet ricocheting off from the War Rig and hitting Angharad on her leg.

Accidents always happen in life and in movies we love, and shit like that is beyond our control.

Deal with it.

Just a reminder

Angharad slipped on the blood from wherr Max clipped her on the leg

OMFG YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A GENDERBENT VERSION OF THE FIVE WIVES AND THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING PERFECT!!! UGH THE FIVE HUSBANDS ARE TOO LEGIT TO QUIT!!! DAMN!

Uhm, if I’m not mistaken, these guys from left to right would be... Capable (because of the distinctive curls), The Dag (that long hair is a giveaway), Cheedo the Fragile (the shy expression and the fact he’s next to the Dag), Toast the Knowing (short buzzcut hair, obvs), and The Splendid Angharad (cannot deny that death glare).

Not sure if the original names would work on men, though, but that could probably be just me. It’d be nice to give alternate and more masculine-sounding monikers for the Five Husbands/Brothers here, but sticking to the original names would still be fine given that they all look so amazing! If anyone has cool suggestions for alternate names of the Five Husbands/Brothers, that would be great for an AU fic!

To the artist who did this, thank you SO MUCH! The Wives/Sisters are my absolute faves from MMFR and this was such a nice surprise to see while I was trawling through the tags I follow for the Five. I was kind of hoping for a full-body sketch in color, but I definitely appreciate this sepia-toned one just showing off their well-sculpted torsos and handsome faces just the same.

Genderbent Furiosa, Max, and Nux perhaps too? And the Vuvalini? And the War Boys? And Immortan Joe? Okay, seriously. I need to stop.

UGH THIS PERFECT FAN ART IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME.

Immortan Joe’s Husbands

20150726

"Who killed the world? No one could say, but I remember the After-Time.

It was the Age of the Immortan, the Warlord of the Wastes. His Citadel rose high against the meat-eating sun. It was here he kept his Five Wives locked up tight, all shiny and chrome; his ticket to a full-life son and heir. Their teacher was Miss Giddy, the History Woman who fed their heads with Wordburgers and smarts.

Then there were the War Boys, the Immortan's rabid warriors. As their flesh failed, the War Boys refueled at the Blood Bag Bank where the Organic Mechanic primed their pumps with healthy Hi-Octane Red. Further down were the Cog Fodder; their ragged legs powered the lifts. Below us all were the Wretched, the deformed and rotting garbage of this world.

As for us, we were the War Pups. Too young to fight, we watched and waited for our time to do war...

This was Citadel.

Oh, what a lovely day..."

The Splendid Angharad : "Oyster" Dress of shredded and multi-layered ivory silk (Irere, Spring/Summer 2003).

Capable : Asymmetric dress with a skirt of ostrich feathers dyed red and black and a bodice of glass microscope slides handpainted red (VOSS, Spring/Summer 2001).

The Dag : Dress of nude silk embroidered with silk flowers and fresh flowers (Sarabande, Spring/Summer 2007).

Toast The Knowing : Sleeveless turtleneck dress with a bodice of yellow glass beads and a skirt of black horsehair (Eshu, Autumn/Winter 2000).

Cheedo The Fragile : Dress of white cotton spray-painted black and yellow with an underskirt of white silk (No. 13, Spring/Summer 1999).

Uhm, no.

Angharad stepped on that pipe under the cabin of the War Rig (clearly NOT a wheel) with her LEFT FOOT and slipped on her LEFT FOOT. Your still screengrab is very misleading.

And as you can see in this GIF, the anon was right when they said that the pipe she stepped on had no trace of blood from her wounded leg which would have been the cause of Angharad’s lost footing.

So yeah, sorry to burst your bubble, but you need to get your facts straight first before making a supposedly airtight defense.

I really fucking hate it when I encounter Tumblr posts of people blaming Max for Angharad’s death because his bullet ricocheted off her right leg. FYI, she slipped from the War Rig with her totally unharmed left foot and there was no trace of blood on the pipes that would have caused her to lose her footing. I dare anyone to debate me on this because I’ve replayed Angharad’s moment of death over and over. Get the facts straight, people: Max had really nothing to do with her death. End of story.

Merry Gets Requests: a nonnie asked for the Wives, please.

The Five “Wives” of Immortan Joe can be seen in many different ways - as potential rekindlers of the human race, as rape victims, as commodities, as rebels, and as individuals. [Brendan] McCarthy [co-writer] explains the invention within the story of the five young women. “In coming up with the characters of the girls, we listed five simple characteristics: funny [The Dag], brainy [Toast the Knowing], fragile [Cheedo the Fragile], seductive [Capable], leader [The Splendid Angharad]. We built each girl around one of those core values.

UHM.

NOPE.

#i will never be over angharad’s death okay #i just #i need a goddamn fucking moment #i know she wore the veil when she died but goddamn #too soon sis #i love you but come on girl #let the bride have her inspiration as a positive thing #ugly crying #you go be a splendid looking bride on your wedding day anon op #angharad would have loved seeing you in your wedding dress inspired by her look

I’m getting married in six months’ time, and one of my favorite images that is part of my “wedding mood board” is that memorable shot of Angharad emerging from the tank of the War Rig. There’s just something so bridal and beautiful about her look in that moment with her white empire-waist dress and the veil billowing from her head, and I’m glad that a striking visual element of this film is helping me get inspired to create my dream wedding dress.
