- SPOILERS* With the new film Furiosa just coming out I'm taking a look at its main villain Dementus. How good of a villain is he? Time to find out! More Villain Review here: • Villain Review
THANKS FOR WATCHING! Would really appreciate if you checked out my 2nd Channel! Trying to hit 1000 subs over there! youtube.com/@jaystuff99?feature=shared
The henchwoman with the disfigured face is actually played by Hemsworth's wife. Unrecognizable.
Wow! Brutal when she gets smashed with the hammer
Oh damn that’s crazy
She played two different roles in the movie. The disfigured woman and furiosa’s mother’s leader head woman person.
Vuvalini leader
Oh I was wondering why she had so much screen time.
The most natural he's looked acting. Could be a good pivot for his career into more complex roles
"Dark Dementus cannot afford to be SOFT!!" LOVED THIS MOVIE LOL
He has to live in denial of the insane shit he does, but I think he also has some actual detachment behavior related to some mental illness peeking out. He divides his life into chapters, he became the “red” Dementus, then he was the “great” Dementus”, and then the “dark” Dementus, like these are new versions.
Man would rather throw the wastelands then get therapy
@@californiacombativesclub202 cracking open a cold one with the wasteland
Villain Review is genuinely the best series on youtube.
Like eye?
I came out of it thinking 'we need a Dementus origins movie'. Glad you said it here. Chris Hemsworth an absolute revelation in the part
No we don’t that can’t happen because that would be before the Fury Road timeline
A prequel of a prequel?
"consume product..."
@@djyua9157 you might be right but loved the character and the performance - just wanted to see more of it.
Watch the original Mad Max and imagine he becomes evil at the end. Dementus is a parallel to Max; he even has a leg brace just like Max.
He was fantastic! The nipple bit was hilarious
Dementus is actually a genius, a genius villain. They way he implemented tactic to breach and conquer the Gastown is old but ingenious tactic. The combination of Trojan Horse and Masquerade tactics. And also when he used tactics to try to deceive and make Immortan Joe and his family in Citadel think they just leave Gastown and will attack bulletfarm, while they already done so. And if not for Furiosa, Immortan Joe will most likely fall for it and will try to attack Gastown and will likely ended in his defeat. And although Dementus's attack of bulletfarm is offscreen, I am sure that he must also employ another surprising and ingenious tactic to be able to take over such heavily defended fortress.
The thing is that Dementus is an excellent war strategist and warlord, but he is a very bad ruler or dictator, that's why he had numerous rebellions during his reign. I wouldn't be surprised if half of his army defected to the side of Imortan Joe for the time of the forty-day war.
@@SimeoNjegovanright I read somewhere he’s in his element when conquering or pillaging but when he has to sit still and rile it only makes sense he would loose control he needs to be on the move conquering
Furiosa's line in Fury Road "Remember Me?" Has so much more weight when you watch The Furiosa movie. He probably still doesn't know that Furiosa was the child bride that got away, or at best, only suspected throughout the years but never said anything as it would Make Immortan Joe look foolish that a woman of his got away, and rose through the ranks of War Boys right under his nose.
@@jamjox9922actually, he remembered her after she took the doll, and call her little D.
Good general horrible statesman he ran Gastown into the ground
He also has the craziest chariot
insane
Max is similar to the two characters here. Max loses his wife and daughter to gangs. His guilt at not being able to protect those he loved drove him insane which we see in Fury Road through auditory and visual hallucinations.
But Max is a good man at heart, he tends to get sucked into helping people, and it often ends in them dying which hurts him more.
That’s why Max outcasts himself and why he’s a loner. He drives and roams the wasteland in order to literally outrun the ghosts of his past.
His twisted, one-sided fatherly affection for Furiosa was super compelling
Dementus probably best villain
I'd love a prequel to this prequel with him during the fall of civilization, losing his family, sustaining traumas and injuries and sorrows.
Just saw Furiosa and loved Hemsworth in this! He was also a great villain in Bad Times At The El Royale.
That’s what I’ve heard I need to check it out
Spoiler warning:
Dementus managing to terrorize a literal nuclear desert wasteland, hijacking two of the 3 main strongholds in the wasteland and starting a war with immortan joe is pretty impressive and he probably would have won and taken total control if furiosa hadn’t survived and intervened.
I'm pretty sure he had already lost the war by the time Furiosa hunted him down.
A tactical genius, strategic idiot, and a larrikin to boot. What a fun villain.
Dementous and his men were cannibals remember the old man told furiosa to make herself useful to be part of thst crew
Him calling Immortan joes sons genetic absurdities was great
When you think about it Dementus is flip side of Max. They both lost everything only max kept at least part of his old self and humanity while Dementus let that loss crush whatever he was and any good he had.
Dementus is Markiplier's Warfstache character and I love it and no one can change my mind
Dementus got bullied by Immortan Joe in Furiosa.
In a way he returned the favor by taking over Gastown and imo he would've probably defeated important joe if furiosa hadn't spoil his plans
Great villain analysis as always
Fury Road is better CRAFTED film, but personally I like Furiosa a little bit more because of the fantastic character writing.
I loved octoboss just because of his loyalty to his goon. There's a lot less content on him obviously, but would you consider doing an analysis of him?
I initially shortchanged or underrated Hemsworth due to kinda seeing him only as Thor and not a particularly good actor. But upon repeat viewings...he really is great in the film. He waited a long time for a role like this, but he definitely delivered here.
And it's a well-written character, more complex than might seem at first glance.
His performance in this movie definitely showed his acting range but another role I would like to give him credit for is his extraction movies because he looks like a total natural doing those action choreography and the way he handles those emotional scenes when talking about his kid is so good
Honestly I thought it was refreshing as all hell to have a villain whose a great motivator and have all these grandiose ideas but at his core is a poor leader.
Dementus was his most powerful when he was in his element controlling roving motorcycle gangs. But when he siezed control of gastown he ran the operation into the ground.
Hell even scrotus could run an efficient gastown. Dementus then fell back into his bread and butter conquest to take the bullet farm because that what he does best.
Do an anlysis on Squidward
Interesting
@@jayfilms99 bro is saying that and will forget in the end💀
What if Dementus was Gibson.
In a way, it’s a tale of two Max’s.
(Edit, with FURY inbetween)
His character has none of the physical or social characteristics of Max
@@djyua9157 oi, you’re not wrong, it is a wee bit of a stretch..
BUT with his leg brace, one dilated eye, and his past (having a wife and lil one) it was giving me wafts and the essences of Max. Finally been on the road and wastedlands long enough he became Toecutter. His primary fear of the first movie.
And one of the most handsome Australian actor alive? That was Mel at one point.
Again, my opinion. Thought I’d share it. Probably wrong, but that’s the beauty of art. Subjective opinion and interpretation. Best to you and nothing but love.
It's interesting that you mention Baldr as Dementus' gang has some references to Norse gods - not only he's played by MCU Thor, wears MCU Thor's cape and rides a chariot, his buddies are basically Odin (the one-eyed guy) and Loki (Octoboss). But yeah, you nailed it totally right with him being unable to feel a thing. Not only empathy (as illustrated by Furiosa's mom's murder followed by another execution and a battle royale he sets), but also fear (mocking Immortan takes some balls of adamantium), and probably pain (heck, he's barely hurt when his nipples are torn off). In a way, he reminds me of the evil king from The Last Unicorn - he tries many things, not only bad but also good (like adopting a son) to see if anything makes him feel human. Oh, and he makes a great opposite to Immortan Joe at that - Dementus is good at taking things but very bad at holding, while Immortan is VERY good at holding and is content with his own lil' empire, but it's his possessiveness that makes him villainous.
I remember finding his tomb in the mad Max game it was pretty neat
Just stumbled across these videos. Absolutely great review! Cheers.
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed! Feel free to check a few more out I got tons
I love Dementus because he gives a new spin to the mad max villains
I loved Immortan Joe, but he sorta was mostly just chasing Mad Max and Furiosa and never shows a lot of his time ruling the citadel (something i appreciate this film of doing), and Dementus gave such a new spin to it too because he feels like he'd be from tbe original Mad max
He absolutely killed it !
If you ever seen him in other movies where he plays a bad guy, he does a kick ass job in the novelization, they even mentioned that Kong would’ve killed scar king the first time they interacted if it wasn’t for Shimmo intervention on board with scar king although I did like his little entrance thing
It’s just some of those poses…
Jay i either need the villain review intro back or an oiled up video
Dementus is one of my favourite villains in a while. Chris Hemsworth's best role and I imagine he must've been thrilled to play it. If I worked as an actor, Dementus is exactly the kind of character that would be the dream role for me.
Please do a review on Seraphim from the blood of Zeus
I'm just about 30. This is my first mad max film and I've utterly loved it. One of the best movies to come out in the last 5 years. Its definitely in my top 30.
Please tell your friends bring your family and friends to watch it. Insit that they domt need to see the other ones because they dont.
I'm going again tomorrow
This movie was badass and dementus was a savage ass villain
White Dementus tries to escape suffering through building some kind of relationship to others (his lieutenants, Furiosa)
Red Dementus tries to escape suffering by copying Immortan Joe's methods, who seems to have it all and beat him handily
Dark Dementus has lost all hope of escaping suffering and just tries to distract/numb himself, seeing others still have hope enrages him
Defeated Dementus is glad it's over and warns Furiosa about becoming like him
best character in the movie
Dementus is the lead character of the film and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Hemsworth be takin dem notes from Fast X I see and thought to himself, he’d like some of that gone crazy Aqua-Man heel turn bag huh?😆
He was, in fact, the Great, Dementus
Mad Max Main villian Rank
Dementus
Immorten Joe
Humungus
Toe Cutter
Aunt Entity
In my eyes Mr. Hemsworth finally redeemed himself from love and thunder. I saw this opening day and their was only like two other people in the theatre. Its sad this movie didnt do well because i want a dementus solo movie.
I would have rated dementus 8/10 but after i saw the teddy on his back its 100/10❤
I realized this on the nipple scene
I was sad that they did not recast Mel Gibson in Fury Road and I was not able to shake the feeling that Chris Hemsworth's Dementus resembles the older Mel Gibson both in looks and the way he moves. Now that you say Dementus once had a family, I'm pretty sure he is an evil, broken version of Mad Max. A Bad Max.
Its called the fucking five bike teddy
Great review and YES Dementus was a great villain BUT, i wonder why its not mentioned about his mental state possibly being impacted by his drinking human blood. The "organic mechanic" told Immortan Joe he has been feeding D the girl's blood for a while. vCJD (what you can get when a human consumes other human flesh/blood) has the kinds of symptoms Demenuts was showing as the plot moved forward. Regardless great movie and great review.
Hilarious performance. Hes a villian i wouldve like to have seen won.
Draw and quarter people has been done throughout history.
Yeahhhhh!!!! Dementus time
It must have been a real gut punch for him when Furiosa reveals that she's not his daughter.
Scrotus is second best.
This film was so good!
I'm trying to go see it again!
Ok maybe alittle more visible CGI, with that said this film is the glue to all the other Mad Max masterpieces….another actual masterpiece because they all are from George Miller…
Just the fact that Dementus doesn't look or sound like Chris Hemsworth is in itself worthy of note. That an actor can vanish inside a character like that where you're made to forget the actor playing him is something I'd love to see more of. Sometimes star-power is extremely distracting from a story. Especially in ensemble casts like Dune was. I just felt I was watching a Hollywood costume party.
This movie was so good hopefully we get more
Granted the MM world isn't black and white, and there aren't really good guys in the traditional sense. But, Furiosa using Dementus as living fertilizer, she's just as bad as the main villains IMO. Max didn't go out of his way to torture people. Or least to that sort of degree. Maybe going forward from Fury Road, there may be some way to be redeemed, but she "lost" the game basically going that route.
Remember his cloak was white at first but as the movie goes on it slowly became red
Good eye
First red and then black, plus he calls himself Red Dementus and Dark Dementus with the changes.
And then Furiosa wears the cape at the end.
Wound up here cause I mistook Thor for Beef Supreme at first glance.
Uhhh..........yup. He is proven to be the best villain.
"THERE IS NO HOPE!"
All Aussies are power hungry mate🤣
My favourite performance of 2024 so far. Chris Hemsworth deserves so much credit for this
100%
of 2024, so far.... who is his competition? besides Mondays
I’d say Feyd Rautha
I think he was a better Cillian than dark knights joker. soooo entertaining and interesting
I personally wish we had gotten more of Dimentus
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: The Dementus Cut
Dementus symbolizes id and trauma in the story.
At the end she planted that seed into his flesh and she eat fruit from the tree growing from his flesh
Maybe they need to make a prequel about Dementous now? 😅
Adam is my favorite villain from this year but dementus is my second favorite villain this year
what movie?
My though exactly,i think he saw her as a daughter.
Totally did, he wanted to be a dad to someone again like he was before the world died - recapture the best part of his old life, yknow? Didn't consider how the kid felt about that after he killed her mum before her eyes, though, the selfish prick.
Oi don’t be throwing shade at my Vader ending slaughter
But I mean…..
Organic mechanic. That's a surgeon 🤣
That’s what they call him
While he was alive like the did furiosa mother eating off of her while she cooking on the fire alive
You should cover Randall Flagg
Jay he has same noose as you
lol
I'm sorry it took me so long to find you.
When they killed furiosa mother they had a fire under her feet when she was hung up on the tree while they were cutting her
Dr Dementus is what Max would've becomed if he let go his humanity!
Emperor Belos villain review.
I think he did that already
No I didn't
@@jayfilms99 Oh. I thought you did
Yes matey he is
How did you say so many words and yet truly said nothing? I am actually in awe.
Longtime Godzilla fan here… yeah, I didn’t like Skar King either. The fact he came out the same year as Proximus didn’t make it better
Yes he is.
A great villain is made by their actions above all. He talked a pretty big game in his speeches, but his actions I was unmoved by. Someone change my mind!
Dementus wasn't really a great ruler but he definitely was a great planner
Was NOTHING as Thor, as some people say. It was such a hateful funny villain and completely different from anything Chris Hemsworth has ever done before🔝👏🖤
Why does he look like the Russian Noble from Peaky Blinders?
lol
In some scenes hemsworth looks a lot like heath ledger
I see it
I felt he was very much trying to build a better world and bring order to the wasteland, he seemed to have great vision
But bad execution
As somone who loved Skar Kings design and visually is my favorite monster in that universe. I fully agree. He was poorly written.
This
I like Dementus but a certain albino sadomasochist from space was my fav 2024 movie villain
It’s super close
Dune 2’s Feyd-Rautha was a better villain.
It’s close
lol Genghis Khan used horses.
Horses weren’t invented yet
I hade low expectations for Chris but man was he good.
Chris is a beast! Why the low expectations?
Chris killed so did anya
Anya also dropped one of the best performances of the year
.....same nose......u and dementus stole each others noses......evil evil noses lol
