Dementus is an EPIC FAIL (and that's good)

once I met Chris and saw his response and understood what he was thinking in the way that dovetail I thought okay uh he he he he he's the one who should take on dementus furiosa unfortunately doesn't perform well at the box office which is a bummer cuz it's really entertaining and amazing for me the highlighter of the movie was Chris Hemsworth's villain dementus he's a real scene stealer every time he is on screen it was intriguing to watch dementus is charismatic and Looney I couldn't imagine any other actor in this role Hemsworth owned the character gave him depth made him nuanced and obviously had fun playing him it's one of his finest performances in my opinion George Miller and hemworth delivered an interesting villain but he's no immortan Joe and that's a good thing let me share some wisdom with you dementus is wearing a cape throughout the movie which changes or adds a new color every time the character enters a new face but it's not only the cape where George Miller uses visual storytelling to indicate the changes the character is going through he also shows it through the mental speed clothing and vehicles he even announces it through titles in his name I was curious what the meaning behind his color changing Cape was and found answers in an article by vulture I'll put the link in the description if you're interested it basically goes through how the certain colors show dementus Arc step by step dementus the religious icon before before we ever see dementus for the first time we get hyped up through his followers that want to earn his Respect by showing him furiosa as evidence for a place of abundance they are in awe and nervous as his opinion means the world to them so for his first appearance he boasts a clean wide Cape he wears it like the leader of a cult giving off Messianic wipes he behaves like an idol acts kind and hospitable but soon we get to know his Twisted cruel side the red dementus the warlord upon meeting a lost War boy who ignites his red flare dementus Cape becomes tinted in red now he refers to himself as the red dementus the red symbols the gush of blood from the war he is ready to start the war boy leads them to the Citadel where dementus declares he will free these people from the tyranny of IM [ __ ] Joe if he lets all his lieutenants and their underlings loose even he won't be able to stop the Carnage The Citadel shows them a glimpse of their power and dementus has to retreat immediately after getting into war mode he has experienced his first loss but he's dedicated and has a plan to occupy Gas Town dementus gives some goon and order but he refuses to take it from him I don't take orders from tiny little [ __ ] he only listens to his boss Otto boss man these people know how to reinvent themselves he sacrifices people from Lieutenant octopus which guarantees him to hold guest hel but Lieutenant squf ain't amused about the disposing of his people what the [ __ ] bro the M's Victory came at costs he didn't consider or maybe even didn't care after successful negotiations with Orton Joe he trades in his doctor and unwillingly furios or twoo the image of the wi wearing Messiah figure is obliterated comparing his power through his followers directly with imort Joe's the war boys are happy to die for immort Joe as they truly believe in him like a god something the mentors only can dream of did you he looked at me the subordinate refusing to take any orders from him reinforces that he has not the authority we believed he had in the beginning the sacrifices he seemingly had to make in this situation to gain control of Gastown led to dissatisfaction of adle sea creature boss who was separating with his faction afterwards but he stays optimistic for his future and says something like out of chaos we will create order Orton and the other ones seem to have nothing of it but as he exits he announces himself as the Great dementus the ruler after the time skip furosa manages to ride shotgun on the warri with not mmax who seems to be a genuinely good human being they have to get gas out of the dementus helmet Gas Town the moral of dementus predecessor which he carefully recreated is now beared and ruined like about everything dementus touches he is currently not wearing his cape but the vest from his predecessor to underline that he gained the former position he obviously is not able to hold the town under control he demands a meeting with a [ __ ] and and the bullet farmer before F Rosa and not Max Escape as the pair has plans to run away they unfortunately get involved into the menus scheme who was poised to get bullet Farm under his wing dementus Dawns escape again but now it is also tinted black from the top they ruin dementus Ambitions along the way of getting out but dementus catches up to them after capturing furosa and her friend he blames them for his transition to dark dementus presumably his cape is tinted black because of the oil from Gas Town he is full of hat and starting a war because he sees no other opportunity left or maybe he even does it out of spite it seems like everything he was willing to achieve his principles and values are crumbling sacrificing his Man without hesitation the final confrontation has the meor Stripped Away from Escape he gave it away for a last chance to escape but funerals are caught up to him and is wearing it now after finding out who she is the mentor tells her to beware of Revenge reflecting on how he went down the same path and it didn't bring him Joy or anything for that and neither would it for furiosa do you have it in you to make it epic dementus is losing everything he's built up over the years but he thinks if you are failing you're going to make it with style otherwise you won't be remembered compared to Orton Joe dementus is an epic fail immortan is more competent and better in every aspect dementus aspires to he has a blindly following cult who sacrific their lives with good will it has no repercussions for him the menus on the other hand loses the trust of his own people and seems to get weaker for every lost man Orton is the better tactician at War and knows how to utilize his resources and army dementus puts some dirt in Orton's eye but overall he can't match with him IM [ __ ] Joe knows how to rule and keep his Citadel and the people under control the mentis can't keep his people in place and prevent them from rioting and this may be a stretch but the three colors on the Manos Cape are the same colors on the [ __ ] Joel's face around the eyes white red and black the Mentos and the M show are two sides of the same coin but one succeeds where the other fails dementus strives to excel at the same things but he's not capable enough I'm glad dementus is like that because we don't need another immort show we already have one theas is pure chaos and disrupts everything he comes across but still maintaining Charisma he is entertaining to watch in his attempts to make it big in the wastelands and how he shapes and influences furos are making him one of the most interesting and memorable villains not only in this franchise but generally in recent movie outings thanks for watching this is a blind this is falling with style [Music]
