The context of Mad Max is to make the path as undeniable as it can be. There was something about "Mad Max: Fury Road". It had issues but it was a force of nature. George Miller willed that film into being. Comparing it to "Furiosa" is sort of hard to do. It is about path.

With nostalgia the basis always begins with where the idea of the connection began. An interesting illustration of the Super Mario craze is that it stretches over generations which is both good and bad because there are many different interpretations. This partly explains why "The Super Mario Brothers Movie" is all over the place.

Making an original film with a period backing with unusual if not eccentric characters can either work gloriously or become hit-or-miss scenario depending on the beats the story takes. "Amsterdam", a new faux comedy from writer/director David O. Russell, is particular in many ways that always populate his films. However it depends on certain edge points.
