I found Fury Road's rough sketching of its immediate surroundings and setting, the implications of a backstory peeking out in the background but never focused on, far more effective than the explicit fill-in-the-blanks of Furiosa.
But I often feel that way about prequels.
- jimmaswell 2y agoI fully enjoy both when done well. When the initial worldbuilding is thought-provoking and fun to theorize on, and the seuqels/prequels fill in the blanks in satisfying ways. The best example is Star Wars - "From a Certain Point of View" takes it so far as to give the trash compactor monster a backstory, and it turns out to be force sensitive. I loved it.
