That's because it's a pretty damn good film. Not really a Mad Max movie though unless you dump the prior continuity. And wait for the director's cut. There looked to be a pretty large amount of exposition cut so as to keep the tempo as redlined as possible.

As for the claims of the MRA's the beliefs of the harem members were rather jarring compared to the rest of the cast, but in large part that was the point since it was pretty clearly shown that they were bullshit by the existence of the older women in the film. The fact that there were zero men and that the only reason they trusted Hardy was because Furiosa vouched for him is a pretty clear indication that they killed all the prior men they came in contact with. Not all of them would have been harmful. Not exactly the act of a peaceful group of people. The girls though did nothing but dream of a distant utopia and center their worldview on how all the faults were the cause of men. Barring of course the redhead who was certainly the most grounded harem member, though how she would have even learned what manifest destiny was I'm not quite certain. Then again if the old biddy in the harem was the one teaching them I can see how she would have centered the 'evils' of the prior age on such a concept.

The tripartite Merchants of Death were rather cliché and silly. Religion, guns and capitalism? Bullet Town and Gas Town within spitting distance of one another and the Citadel? Not to mention the fact that apparently Bullet Town had the machinery from 12 different gun manufacturers including Heckler and Koch which I'm pretty sure does not have a manufactory in Australia at all.

Wow you're a complete fucking moron. Accurate is an adjective. It describes a noun. E&Hs PREDICTION was accurate in that it was precisely correct. Namely, the boson's mass was greater than 18MeV. That the actual MEASUREMENT was fundamentally inaccurate in it's range does not change the accuracy of the PREDICTION.

Yeah, Nuclear Winter is a figment of the nuclear scare's imagination. It assumes that the earth is a featureless ball of rock, all targets are groundbursts, that every target would cause a firestorm the size of Dresden, and that any and all soot would magically stay in the atmosphere far higher and far longer than any such effects have been observed. At worst, a full scale nuclear war MIGHT cause temperatures to mildly drop for 1-2 years.

You do realize that money was not first on my list. I would guess that the majority of engineers are not primarily interested in the money the career will bring them. Rather, it's the 'build shit' mentality that calls most engineers. But the type of guys to get an engineering degree, especially the ones who join one of the P.E. societies, do not do so because of the societal good they can accomplish.

Never said they wouldn't then USE their engineering skills for societal good. Just that they didn't go into the field for that purpose. There is a rather fundamental difference. Not to mention, and this is kind of important, EWB does not require any sort of engineering degree. As well, that percentage was the school club, not the percentage of ASCE members in EWB. Thus, using it as any sort of metric is rather... shortsighted.
