I don't know who needs to see this, but there's this comic called "Freddy vs Jason vs Ash: The Nightmare Warriors" where, long story short, Freddy uses the Necronomicon to heal Jason's decaying body- he heals him to the fullest pretty much, and

Healthy Jason has long hair 🙏

Immortan Joe: what's the appeal? I like the movie but I hate Joe. Why do you like him so much?

First of all lemme tell you how much I appreciate you asking me respectfully instead of calling me a rape apologist! Holy crap there are actually nice people on this Blue Hell? HOT DAMN

Secondly, man, I 100% get you. You’re supposed to hate him. He’s one of those characters that reads as so unrepentantly evil and cruel that if he were a real person (side eyes Trump) you’d be evil yourself if you didn’t hate him some.

I can only speak for myself here, but I know there are others in the Gigadumpster that like him for reasons similar to mine but not the same. Because I can and have bloviated about Joe ad nauseam, I’ll give you the bullet point version.

-You’ve probably figured out by now that I like older dudes, and I happen to find Joe’s actor, Hugh Keays-Byrne, attractive as hell. Everything about him. The whole package. Goddamn. Mm Yes Lord.

- Joe has one of the most compelling backstories of any male character in film I’ve encountered in a long time. Many pixels have been spilt on this subject. If you’re intrepid enough to search my Immortan Joe tag (warning, it’s huge and also contains some NSFW stuff) and/or my meta tag, you’ll find most of it. Another (very) long story short, Joe was a Colonel during the oil/water wars before the world fell. He survived by brutalizing those that stood in his way and taking advantage of every single opportunity and chance, no matter how slim or long-shotted, to claw his way to power. He evolved from soldier to officer to scourge of the desert roads to this already semi-mythical figure before he’d even encountered the aquifer that would one day become the Citadel, and thanks to a tip from the man that would become the People Eater, a myth of how one man conquered an entire castle, hungry lizard, an idiot willing to lose his finger, skills with a fucking katana, and a brilliant tactical mind, he was able to take only one other man into the populated stronghold and emerge victorious. What gets me is that he didn’t really vault himself to near-mythical godhood. It was the people below, his men, that started chanting his name and “Immortan” after he emerged. I imagine young Colonel Moore just stood there, looking down at his men cheering him, calling him Immortal, and just went “Yeah, I dig this” and the rest is history. Joe’s ascent to Redeemer Immortan, a demigod of his own empire, is built on so many fragile chances and uncannily perfect alignments of events that it’s breathtaking how he managed to get this far.

-The wasteland abhors mediocrity, so as Joe ascends (and ages) his character splits into two polar– and warring– facets: his godhood, his self-created identity as the Second Coming of the Holy Trinity; and his decrepit, decaying, fragile, failing humanity. This duality– and the conflict it creates in him and around him– is my favorite part of Joe. Because it is the catalyst that sparks the story of Fury Road. If Joe weren’t so obsessed with both his immortal empire as it relates to his rapidly deteriorating physical body, he wouldn’t have been compelled to hold women captive in the first place. I could go on. Oh I could go on. 

- I used to be more vocal about it than I am now, but I was abused by a past boyfriend and then by a fiance. Physically and emotionally. Neither of them were nearly as bad as Joe, but I surfaced from these experiences with a lot of shame, guilt, fear, and a lot of rage. Writing about Immortan Joe in an analytical context and writing him interacting with my OCs in a fictional context help me process a lot of that stuff, especially the guilt and shame. I get glimpses into some of the ways my abuser(s) hurt me from their perspective, how what they did was a product of this stupid toxic patriarchy, and how what I did in response fit into the patterns of abuse victims. All of this gives me perspective that helps me get over this bullshit. And I’ll be brutally honest with you, Anon, it’s also helping me deal with a lot of the same symptoms popping up in me in response to this horrible presidential administration.

-To take it from the cerebral to the banal, Joe hits a lot of my kinks. Let’s just be honest. He’s older, monstrous, powerful, Thicc™, a Daddy™, with a deep, rolling voice, giant man-paw-hands, etc. But he’s secretly weak, and the very presence of the emotions that make him human frighten him to a degree.

I hate Joe too. I love to hate him. I hate to love him. There’s a lot more I could say, but this is the gist. Thanks for this ask, and now I’m gonna go put MMFR on!!!
