Analyzing Evil: Immortan Joe From Mad Max: Fury Road 

Fun fact: the actor who played Immortan Joe, is the same actor who played the main villain in the original Mad Max

I'd wager that Immortan Joe swerved to avoid Angharad not because he had any deep feelings for her, but because she was carrying his child. Another part of his personality not mentioned in his video is that he has passed over Rictus Erectus as the heir of his kingdom. Rictus, while being physically imposing, is in no position to lead the kingdom, as he suffers from an intellectual disability. So losing Angharad was losing Joe's last chance at producing a viable heir.

Wait? So this guy trained a lizard to carry rope up walls because he read it in a book one time and it actually worked? This guy's awesome!

“May you ride eternal, shiny and chrome” best quote in the movie

I feel that his costume design is worthy of becoming as iconic and fitting to his respective world/franchise as Darth Vader/Sauron/Davy Jones/Voldemort, etc. It’s so fresh and unique and badass

Major props to Hugh Keays-Byrne who played Immortan Joe and Toecutter, the main villain from the 1st Mad Max movie.

I KNEW Mad Max was the long awaited sequel to A Few Good Men!

Jack Nicholson truly was the highlight of Fury Road.

Immortan Joe wouldn’t have had this problem if he was nice to his women

Apparently Colonel Jessup took that court room embarrassment hard. Look what the stress did to his health.

Ah yes! Colonel Jessup from Mad Max! I was so waiting for this!

Truly my favorite Mad Max villain of all-time, it’s really cemented when he yells about how Max can’t handle the truth Well now all the Few Good Men jokes don’t make sense

Also Immortan Joe: "You look amazing! You all look AMAZING!"

One of the greatest villains in the past 10 years. Love your work! Can't wait for the Cartman episode!

Title says "Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men" but I was really happy to see this is Immorton Joe. Media Zealot also has a really good video on this guy

This makes me wanna read that comic now! Fury Road was one of the best action films ever made

Fun Fact: For the movie, editor Margaret Sixel had roughly 470 hours of footage to edit. Watching it took three months.

Rationing the water is pretty smart for a lot of reasons.

Video: Immortan Joe from Mad Max: Fury Road Title: Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men Me: “MEDIOCRE!!!!”

Immortan Joe is a good representation of the type of actions and systems that would need to be put into place to establish a semblance of order in a post-apocalyptic environment. Everyone always wants to be the badass loner but I think a no-rules environment like the apocalypse would be open season for those with the ambition & strength to rule over others more-so than anything else.

Immortan Joe IS Toecutter. Toecutter survived being hit by the tractor trailer, and the survivors from the toecutter gang (the ones who fell into tje river) nursed him back to health. After this he fought in the wars, using his given name. Note Toecutters megalomaniacal personality, the way he controlled the gang members was in a "because I say so, and I am your god" manner. Toecutter and Immortan Joe have identical personalities, use identical methods to control their people, look the same, AND have perfectly matching timelines. Immortan Joe and Toecutter are one and the same...

Immortan Joe is the picture of what happens too dictators to themselves and those who they abuse and that is they turn and become rotten both inside and out and it is funny that the object of his demise was one of his former wives named Furoisa. Here are a few suggestions for your next video VE: -The NFFA from the Purge franchise(Film) -Handsome Jack from Borderlands(Video Game) -Obadiah Hakeswill from the Sharpe series(TV Show)

love these videos, Holmes... continued success & Luck in the approaching new year.

Just finished The Menu and couldn't help thinking Julian Slowik would be such a good evil analysis. Please consider him for a video!!

Just found this series and been binging it for a week or so now. These are so well done and I love that you've went over most of the classics. Do you take suggestions? If so the Reapers from Mass Effect would be an interesting one.

I'm just here before he changes the wrong title.

One of my favorite movies of all time. The stunt actors and practical effects in this are amazing. Joe is a great villain.

A great breakdown as always. The only thing I would disagree with was Joe's love for any of his wives. Joe seemed to only care about power and his legacy. Given his age and health I believe he called the wife that died his favorite because he viewed her as not only the most beautiful of his wives but also the healthiest, meaning his best chance for a male heir. Even as he chased after the War Rig he shouts at her that the child was his property and once the child was dead it dashed most likely his last best chance at a healthy heir. We can guess this because you look at Joe's army and he had many great warriors Furiosa was definitely his best as her skill and abilities are shown through the whole film. But you look at the War Rigs second in command as he was not only a capable commander organizing the War Boys giving orders to them and spotting weaknesses to defeat the Buzzards. Then you have Slick who was noth only a capable warrior but had great abilities such as him boosting a War car during the final chase. The best of all the War Boys was Nucks as we see while near death he was not only determined to go out for one final battle but we see his abilities at driving given his War Car which lost a wheel yet he was still able to catch up to Furiousa, get on the War Rig, and even drive the Rig when many couldn't if it was for their crazed devotion to Joe his army would have been greater than we see in the film. But that's also why he cares nothing for anyone but himself and his heir because when Nucks messed up and fell on the Rig, Joe left him in disgust yet as the wives not only care for each other, but Furiousa, and Max and even Nucks we see the War Boy leave Joe's army to stay with our heros. So that's why I say Joe cared for nothing other than his power and heir.

With the Terrifier 2 just released an analyzing evil of Art the clown would be sick. Also Pearl would be a really good one too!

Colonel Jessep is looking mighty different from the last time I saw him.

You have the best scripts and cadence for any video essays on RU-vid I stg much love many inspire

Took a screenshot of that! 😀

Mad max fury road has to be my favourite action movie, this movie was ridiculously good and it revived the iconic mad max franchise. Can’t wait for the sequel Immortan joe and Toecutter were played by Hugh Keays Byrne may he RIP.

One of my favorite movie villains behind Spike from The Little Giants. He spoke in the third person. The epitome of villainy

I truly loved this video, this is one of my favorite movies.

I love your content so keep grinding. This movie is a masterpiece. It’s the greatest action movie in the last 10 years, easily.

My knowledge of films isn't too good, but I don't think this is Colonel Jessup

I didn't even know how badly I wanted to see Joe covered up until I started watching this. I love your work, please don't ever change.

Fairly new to the channel but loving everything I've seen thus far. Im sure its been requested before - would love to see a vid on the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil franchise. Keep up the great work!

Blessssssss always a good day when one of these come out

Something interesting about fury road is the treadmill used to raise and lower the platform was actually used in early Australian penal colonies as a punishment for convicts who stepped out of line, who had to continuously march on the treadmill for a prolonged amount of time

Mad Max can’t handle the truth!

such a good story between the Crow Fishers to the Aqua Cola and McDonald's references like "word burgers or McFeasting" the Nomenclatures are hilarious but sensible when you look at society and how euphemisms and colloquialisms are so creative and fresh

Dude, your writing is absolutely incredible. It can't be understated, how perfectly and delicately you phrase every sentence. Incredible work, you're a total legend. Easily one of my favoite RU-vid channels. Fantastic to fall asleep to!

Excited for this one. Maybe for a future video, do a collection of the best villains that have been suggested but for whatever reason couldn't/didn't get their own video. Maybe they were really interesting but there isn't enough to make a full episode on? Or maybe there are some more bite sized topics that would better fit in a collection?

ANALYSISING EVIL TIGHTEN FROM MEGAMIND!

Such amazing world building in this film. Would love to watch more about it.

YES! Massive Mad Max Fan! I've been hoping for this one for a while!

World's second most insane dictator Colonel

Day 51 of asking the vile eye to do a video on Ra's Al Ghul from Nolans batman

Absolutely love these

crazy timing, I just watched this movie for the first time last night

So that's what really happened to Jessup after the trial?

I've been waiting for this Episode for a long long time! Thanks for reviewing Immortan Joe as Mad Max Fury Road is one of my favourite films! I'm looking forward to the review of Mama from Dredd as well as MNU from District 9 and General Zod from Man of Steel.

oh HELL YEAH, wake up babe new analyzing evil vid just dropped

Nice video, Vile. You will ride to Valhalla, shiny and chrome.

Should do the toe cutter too. Hugh Keyes Byrne was awesome!

Since youve done an analysis on Hannibal lector what about one on buffalo bill? I recently rewatched silence of the lambs and after the movie ended I couldn't help but wonder more about him and his phychy

Very very good, thank you for this. Succinct and powerful

I rewatch Mad Max: Fury Road often because of his character honestly, it is genuinely intriguing and interesting to see.

Possibly one of the most best designed villain of whole time

Loved the vid! Can next be Koba from the Planet of the Apes series?

This channel is the best man

I adore your channel!! Please do one on Catherine Tremell from Basic Instinct 🙏🙏❤

Nah y'all don't get it, immortan Joe is who colonel jessup evolved into after the apocalypse that's all 😅

Analyzing Evil: Established Titles when?

Great video! I hooed to watch one about immortan for the longest time. You should do one on Toecutter’s gang from mad max 1

Great channel i really enjoy your content I would love a episode on Homelander from the boys in the future

You should do Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter, I think she's super similar to someone like Nurse Ratched except to a way higher extent.

I'd love to see an analysing evil on Jonas Venture or The Mighty Monarch from "The Venture Bros" Dunno if the lack of a final season would hamper that though.

I think of Joe as a man who was on the verge of rebuilding the world through extreme, yet effective, methods. Look at all he achieved: clean water, agriculture, education, fuel, security, resource and population control... All he was lacking was a new breed of healthy human beings. Mad respect!

Immortan Joe: Whatta name! It’s like a name for a more competent and formidable opponent for Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!

One suggestion I have is Hal aka Titan/Tighten from Megamind. On the surface, he is a meek, dim witted dork. But once he get powers, he reveals himself to be an entitled, violet (but still dimwitted) bully. Compare that to the title character, who plays the classic super villain but there’s never a real sense he was out to hurt anyone, especially Roxanne.

Honestly, I don't much see how Immortan Joe could have improved the situation without violating the integrity of what the War Boys, which is the only thing theoretically maintaining peace in that region. Sure, his side hustle was bad, but overall he accomplished a lot with very little and made it work despite the overall condition of the world working against such a feat. Could he have been more giving to others? Sure, but at what risk to the security forces (the War Boys and the other enclaves) that help maintain general safety and stability? Could he have resorted to something a bit less like slavery? Yes, but it would fail the moment someone/anyone said "no" and that might cause the whole system to collapse. Did he really need to make himself out to be a god? Of course not... but then could he really be sure the War Boys would fight as hard as they needed to in order to be successful if they didn't think they were fighting for a god in the wastelands? The *only* thing that can't readily be excused is his improprieties towards some of the pups and the wives, but even then they were a fine stock of breeders and could/would have been victimized by other gangs far worse off than the War Boys, as the other films showed. It's dark and twisted, but of all the people to fall victim of such a crime to, Immortan Joe was likely the lesser evil/better option. At least he'd keep them fed and hydrated, and even educated. It's a rough setting with a rough world, and Immortan Joe was a rough guy... but everything considered, he made the most of it.

Immortan Joe and Aunty Entity were a step above the wild pirates that ToeCutter and Humongous were. Joe and Auntry were ruthless, but they were creating more than a group of marauders. Their towns had laws, tradition, culture, and trade with other forts. Citadel and BarterTown were self-sustaining civilizations. Barbaric ones, but organized nonetheless.

The Honest Trailer video for the movie is ONE OF THE BEST! F'N GREAT

Immortan Joe is one of the best character names ever. On par with Kojima's names.

Colonel Jessup really got around!

A brilliant video and analysis by you about Hanna Schmitz from the movie The Reader.

Now ii gotta watch it again TODAY.

Definitely one of the colonels of all time

Ah yes, Colonel Jessup

Might have mentioned the actor who played Immortan Joe also played Toecutter in the original Mad Max. Nicely done sez I.

Analyzing evil: the thing

Speaking of Valhalla, you should cover Odin from God of War. It's a pretty interesting and different take on him.

Fun fact...Immortan Joe was played by Toecutter himself...Hugh Keays-Byrne (1947 - 2020)

This is one of the greatest films I've ever seen.

Bro yes awesome video

I wish this had been about an hour long!

As always, your videos make my day better. For future videos I recommend looking into The Cult of Paimon from Hereditary or Cotton Hill from King of the Hill.

Water King of the POCYCLYPSE

This video definitely needs an update/followup after Furiosa's film. Really fleshes out Joe as a character.

I will keep asking for Netflix’s adaptation of Kingpin from Daredevil if it kills me. A complicated, evil, assistive, yet charming man, he deserves a deep analysis front his amazing channrkn

Imortant Joe. Truly Jack Nicholson's best role.

For some reason yesterday I thought you're gonna Tomorrow. Immortal joe Is probably one of my top 5 favorite villains. .Glad you finally did him.

Fingers crossed for Errol Childress from true detective!!

when you realize Immortal joe is just humungus done right and with better potential as the road warrior felt like a prototype of Fury road

Yay we got an analysis on immortan joe! Here are some vile recommendations: Mr Ellingboe and Mrs Krum from Klaus Pitch Black from Rise of the guardians The weird grandparents from The Visit Frank from Barbarian SCP-049 from the scp mythos Toecutter from the mad max franchise

I really think you should remaster this analysis because there’s a lot more to his character and mentality. I can help

Now this is the movie that I would like to see.
