Errr No

And yes I do get what you are saying, it's just wrong. It's no different than going to the supermarket buying an Enteman's poundcake and finding some odd gluten free, immature grains concoction in the box instead. In cinema terms, it would be like going to see a Nora Ephron movie and getting Chuck Norris instead. Both maybe fine, but neither is what was advertised.

No more so than any other brand.
Think of the people that read the Perry Rhodan, or the destroyer Novels. Mad Max as a brand has certain expectations. Both have been going on forever and are able to do so because they meet expectations. Mad Max has it's own expectations.

The setting is post Apocalyptic Australia.
There must be a group of people struggling towards the future.
They must be opposed by the forces of chaos and evil trying to plunge mankind deeper into darkness.
Then there is Max the rogue element driven by his loss. The tragic and flawed hero who stands against the darkness.

I don't care if they decided to make a movie with Charlize Theron as the action lead. I actually enjoyed Aeon Flux may have been one of the few people that did. The key is that when I went to see Aeon Flux I had a pretty good Idea of what I would be getting which was about a certain style and aesthetic. Many people complained the movie wasn't consistent with the cartoon but they miss the point that the cartoon was nowhere near self consistent.

So if this isn't a Mad Max movie, that's fine but it is false advertising.

I go to see Mad Max movie for Mad Max.

If you go to see John Wayne in Chisolm, you expect to see cattle barons fight in the west you don't expect to see the little girl from True Grit. So is this a Mad Max movie (Hard to do without Mel Gibson to begin with) or is it Tank Girl.

Wow, you really had to twist that one to make your straw man argument, huh?

What you claim
Vs What I said

Yes if you contribute to OSS projects don't you dare think that's merit.

Yep an incredible amount of twisting there. I am amazed you were able to pick up on the fact that line was the Goedelian encoding of my strawman argument.

Just to explain this simple concept to you.

I say OP is wrong about global cooling being just one article in newsweek, and present a link to another article.

Proof by contradiction.

Poster comes in and says it doesn't matter because I'm a poopy head.

Ad hominem.

There never say conservatives aren't charitable to the disadvantaged.
