I'm... still not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I get what they were going for but OTOH, emphasizing the "man hate" of one of the incredibly few representations of a badass matriarchy/women dominated society like the Vuvalini gives off a stink of typical MRA anecdote based self-victimization. I guess this revelation didn't sit well with me because I am still pissed at what they did to the Amazons in the latest Wonder Woman comics (revealed them as seducing men, killing them after being impregnated, and then selling off male offspring as slaves, despite being depicted as an enlightened and peace loving culture for decades).
Do the Vuvalinis really have to be tarred with deep shades of grey to appease cries of misandry? I mean, we already have Max, a man who proved his worth and necessity by providing his blood as a lifeforce to Furiosa, and Nux, the boy who just needed something real to hope and live for. Of course the MRAs are totally going to pretend those male characters don't exist or will undercut their value just because they don't fit their narrative. If they wanted more gender politics complexity, they would've been better off with the female anti-feminist equivalent (women loyalists of Immortan Joe) or with one of the wives rebelling against Furiosa and co.
