"He says you guys are fucked." — Yona Minsoo (Ko Ah-Sung), Snowpiercer

Yes… it means exactly what you think it means. I regret nothing.
"There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do, I'll be right behind you So glad we've almost made it So sad we had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world..." — Lorde
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

So Mad Max: Fury Road and Snowpiercer are basically complementary post-apocalyptic films that share a lot of socio-political themes and complex characters. Don't believe me? Well...
There's the totally badass chief protagonist without a left forearm who wants to defeat the antagonist ruling over the oppressed (Curtis Everett and Imperator Furiosa).
There's the taciturn secondary protagonist who is also great but really lets the chief protagonist do all the cool shit (Max Rockatansky and Namgoong Minsoo).
There's the brutal antagonist who abuses a position of power to control the lower class and not to mention having a really hideous set of false teeth (Minister Mason and Immortan Joe).
There's the gung-ho and eager-to-please adorable younger sidekick who ends up dying for a good cause (Nux and Edgar).
There's also the supporting female character who's never portrayed in a sexualized manner, and who's a bit weird and eccentric and has a heightened sense of awareness that allows her to see things before other people (Yona Minsoo and The Dag).
