That is... a terrible analysis... (Gaming)

There's also the skinny dude who flips sides more times than I can count,

He flips side once. Literally once in the movie, from the immortan's side, to the side of the wives. This is very telling with regards your poor critique...

Wrong. We see him flip sides multiple times, as he bounces back and forth between the two groups. He just agrees to go with whoever he's stuck with at the moment, and only finally commits to one side because of the pretty lady.

Not sure we watched the same movie, then.
You're going to have to tell me when he "bounces back and forth between the two groups". The only time that I ever saw him side with the wives was when he dropped Immortan Joe's revolver, and had to be talked back into action by Capable. He never once went back to Joe.

And then Furiosa, THE STRONGEST FEMALE CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, gets her 1 and only moment to show any strength of character since the start of the film, but instead she gives up and decides to lead the other women to their deaths out in the desert until Max talks her out of it.

Because she's not a superhero or master strategist. She was a glorified Uber driver who knew the rules of the world that they lived in. Again, she wasn't even the leader of the group. Most of her plans went downhill, but working side by side with Max, they complemented each other enough to get ahead.

Agreed. None of which is remarkable or special or anything beyond every other lame action movie ever made. 2 tough people get together and fight better than the bad guys. Big deal :)

Eeeexcept that they kind of don't. Furiosa gets stomped and stabbed, Max gets tossed about like a ragdoll. The wives, the Vuvalini, and Nux all contribute to the group's success. It's a Mad Max-universe film that revolves around the War Rig, not Furiosa, not Max, not Nux, not the Wives, or Joe. It's a story about how characters interact in this world, edited and produced in a way that surpasses most of what Hollywood churns out each year.

In my repeated watchings of the film, I see the entire iceberg behind every scene now, not just the action on the screen, and that's something that very few movies have ever delivered.
