It's insanely epic because she hasn't spoken in years for all we know, we haven't seen her speak since she was a kid. And all of a sudden she has to, holy shit.
Also to surround yourself with people who lift you up. Hes a different person cause hes surrounded by such people. And bless george miller for not giving him one role to play but two(genie movie)
Source is far-right columnists who didn't like an Indigenous kid getting positive headlines and fantasised about what would make it okay.
So yeah, this asshole didn't make it up, but he's the kind of asshole who believes it.
I am an indigenous Australian, you twit!
Source is I live in the suburb all this stuff happened in. He’d turn up to his school in designer clothing and shoes and mock kids who didn’t have similar stuff. He antagonised his peers for weeks before they lashed out and called him a “freak”.
Anyone you don’t agree with is far right.
I don’t agree with this guy because there’s no real evidence, but I will devils advocate because I fell in a rabbit hole regarding this and tbh there is more than meets the eye. four years ago there was a big conspiracy that quaden was actually an adult. It’s been disproven but it was fueled by images of him wearing lavish designer clothes and striking poses that were very deliberate and not kid-like. I never really knew what to make of it, so I take his story at face value. But the pictures are still up on his instagram, you can see where these theories come from. I just think people too readily jump to conclusions that let them disregard others
I understand your willingness to provide context to a situation that is more nuanced than the internet community is aware of.
But we’re talking about an actual child.
I don’t think it’s appropriate to scrutinise the behaviour of a child. He clearly has features that would make him stand out from other children and would not have the same experience growing up that other children do.
Mind you, I felt very critical and still do about the parent who posted a video on social media of their child having a meltdown. I couldn’t imagine trying to carve out a life and career as an adult when you’ll always be ‘the kid who was bullied and then was in Mad Max movie’. Australia is too small for that to be forgotten.
Remember Corey Worthington?
He's still going on and on about a child wearing nice clothes being suspicious
You don't get credit for just now realizing how fucked up it was to think that
He would show up to school in designer clothing? That's strange considering every Australian school I know of has mandatory uniforms.
Y'know, like the one the kid is seen wearing in the viral video of him crying.
I believe you mate for what its worth. I don't see why you'd benefit saying he's a piece of shit unless there was some good reasons backing it up. Him acting like a cunt then pulling the disabled card when it doesn't go his way, is something I could see happening. Could be here-say but the fact people are so quick to downvote you is laughable. Leave ur comment up
Even though he didn't have much to do in the film, he still got to be a part of the Mad Max universe. He's luckier than most of us, and I hope he had a blast doing it!
..... Would be have tho? He completely failed to do the thing he said he was going to do, and died before he could make himself shiney.
Nothing against the dude. Just in world using the mythos provided I don't see how he would have been judged anything other then mediocre.
And I've always sorta wondered that. Like having him turn it on THEN die has the scene play out no different. I don't get why they didn't do it that way especially with all the 'build up'
Yeah I see what you’re saying. I’m not sure why they didn’t let him do the knocker but they decided not to!
And I would say that it doesn’t matter how successful you are only that you die being valiant
The lore, the story, the mythos? Calling it a universe is a bit odd, albeit a bit more appropriate now that the story has diverted from max for at least one movie
You don't have to call it anything... But yeah, I know. you want to turn it into something like the Marvel "Universe" or the Disney Star Wars "Universe" so they can make any unrelated POS story that doesn't feature the character Max and then mark them up as another "Mad Max Universe" film..
People have been using "universe" to describe the collective stories of an IP since way before the MCU.
But you can be butthurtt about this totally normal usage of the word, if you want.
Doesn't mean it applies here...
But I do take offense at all the kids around here that would like it to, so they can try to sticky tape Furiosa and Fury Road to the original Max character stories , but hey, by the looks of it that "Universe" died after 5 films..That somewhat elevates my "Butthurt". Does it elevate yours?
We don't have to "sticky tape" anything, George Miller the god of the Mad Max universe did that for us.
Sorry random redditor, I'll take the creator's intention over your opinion.
Get some sleep man, no need to be THAT triggered by the word “universe”. Different people have different take on it, can’t you respect people decisions? Maybe they’ll respect yours too
It 100% applies here.
The last two films were, indeed, set in the Mad Max universe. Haven't seen Furiosa yet, but I really enjoyed Fury road. How exactly has the series died?
I guess when your main character hardly makes an appearance , then you have to say it's set in a "Universe" , L:et me put it this way, attaching "Universe" to a series of movies is on the nose with a lot of movie goers these days, it's been played to death by Marvel and others. it's sort of code now for a shit movie that's still trying to milk a franchise..
I wouldn't be surprised if attaching "A Mad Max Saga" to the title put a lot of people off.
Hot take here: Max himself was never the most interesting thing about George Miller's movies. It was his cinematography, stunts, costumes, effects, and sound that made the Mad Max movies so interesting. And Fury Road imo was the epitome of his style.
It's called a universe if the world has its own mythology, and the plot is expanded beyond one story. With groups like the Vuvalini and the expansion into Furiosa, it is a universe.
There is already a series called "The Continental". But that's from the "World" of John Wick. Lets face it once you make it a "World" or "Universe" it gives license to stick whatever you like, thus diluting it until it dies a slow death.
And you seem like the type that says "triggered" a lot.
If you're looking for fluffy, flowery conversations all the time, then maybe the Barbie sub Reddit is the place for you? There you will never have to concern yourself with others being triggered again..
LOL, I bet you'd know all about the Barbie sub....
Misogynistic nerd? Now that's not very nice. Maybe your poor attitude towards me is the result of an anxiety?
I mean, from what I understand, a movie can be considered a window into an alternate “universe,” with lore, story and mythos contained therein so it’s a handy broad term to encapsulate all of that. It doesn’t have to automatically mean cinematic universe, which is a concept that I’m personally sick of.
I thought he was *so* cool in Furiosa. Had no idea about the actor’s backstory….Found out about it after. Quaden Bayles is cool AF, he had the coolest, most epic badass part in Furiosa. Had seen 3000 years of longing, will re- watch for his role. Hope he has an amazing career and I wish him all the best. Stronger then most.
No, he got famous like 4-5 years ago after his mom posted a vid of him crying and saying he wanted to die because kids at his school were bullying him for being a little person
Oh damn. Well jokes on them then. He gets to be in of the best action movies ever made, make some money while doing it and get a close up view of Anya Taylor Joy. He's winning. Those bullies are losing at life every single day.
Mad respect to George Miller for always spotlighting the Aussie film community and taking the opportunity to provide opportunities to talent like Quaden. He’s a legend and something every person of influence should aim for in their position in terms of giving back to their roots.
so many people cheering them on now, this guy got into a movie because he lied about being bullied to go viral. The whole thing is disgusting and so are all these sycophants praising the manipulation.
Good for him, but his part in the movie was a joke.
Do I do it now? Not yet.
Start the BommyKnocker! Now? NOOOOW! Dies.
Wtf?
Now shower me in downvotes! 🛀
Family claims they are telling the truth. Zero evidence to support them or deny them. Doesnt stack up even if the court agreed that the paper couldnt make the claim. The court did not find that the kid was bullied even though thats what the family reported. Courts are complicated.
What's your source for this? FYI he is aboriginal. They call themselves black. N word, not so sure if that's accepted by them but there are definitely some very dark aboriginal Aussies.
???? Black people cant be blonde? Are you fr?
And you’re commenting on something you have no knowledge of. Aboriginals don’t discuss being “half” and so on because they have a really grim and horrible history involving their children being stolen and being forcibly bred out of existence by white people.
If you have an issue with aboriginal people identifying with the term black and using the N word, educate yourself and go talk to aboriginal people. As it stands you just come across as someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
I really want to know what goes through your head. You think someone with dwarfism is going around bullying people?
And you just take the word of other students that he was the bully? What makes their account more valid than his and his mother's?
What makes his and his mothers word more valid? What’s stopping him from being a bully? Are you discriminating against him because of his condition? Seems slightly hypocritical
No, this was an anti-story to try to make him look bad. People started saying all sorts of counter rumors, but none were proven to be true. So stop spreading them.
Because he’s a bully? How do you know he’s not lol, his settlement was for claiming that he made up being bullied, there is no evidence that what others were saying about him was incorrect.
So there is no evidence that he is a bully either. So if he won, he didn't make being bullied right? So there is evidence that he was being bullied if he won the case. Why are you acting like he is a bully if there is no evidence on that front either. Just remain neutral unless you have solid proof that he is a bully.
Do the Bommy Knocker!
Now?
NOW
*slowly closes lid*
My face completely dropped too
It's insanely epic because she hasn't spoken in years for all we know, we haven't seen her speak since she was a kid. And all of a sudden she has to, holy shit.
*dies*
A reminder to hang in there if you're having a rough time. You never know how things will work out in the future.
Also to surround yourself with people who lift you up. Hes a different person cause hes surrounded by such people. And bless george miller for not giving him one role to play but two(genie movie)
It says everything I need to know about George Miller’s character as a man and an artist. I’ll follow him to the end!
He’s such a sweetheart and creates the most bonkers movie ever, including Happy feet 😊
Good. Fuck any bully who thinks they're better than anyone else.
Umm, do your homework 🫵🏿🤡. He was the bully
You're a week late and everyone disagrees.
This kid spent months bullying his classmates. They finally retaliated and he filmed his cry video. I agree, fuck bullies.

wat
Does he look like he could bully anyone? FFS quit this bullshit
TIL verbal abuse isn’t a thing.
[удалено]
it seems unlikely
[удалено]
He wasn't a celeb until after he was bullied and the video came out. Where's your evidence that he was the bully and not the victim?
[удалено]
So a Strawman then… nice
Bro getting downvoted for facts. Classic reddit sheep pretending theyre nice.
Even though he didn't have much to do in the film, he still got to be a part of the Mad Max universe. He's luckier than most of us, and I hope he had a blast doing it!
idk man, he had a pretty significant part and was in multiple scenes that helped to humanize and ground the people who live and work in the Citadel
And his character made it to Valhalla! It was actually a full arc and a happy ending techincally…
..... Would be have tho? He completely failed to do the thing he said he was going to do, and died before he could make himself shiney. Nothing against the dude. Just in world using the mythos provided I don't see how he would have been judged anything other then mediocre. And I've always sorta wondered that.

Pretty sure he’s shiny when Furiosa sees his body.
His hand where he was absentmindedly spaying in an earlier shot is shiny. He isn't.
There is very little I wouldn’t do to become a fuel injected suicide machine, a V8 pumping in the chest trunk. Genuinely happy for him
While a minor part, his character was very memorable
No pun intended
His small role was a highlight.
It was. I just wished he was in it a little longer.
"Universe" LOL
What else would you call it?
Wasteland....
The lore, the story, the mythos? Calling it a universe is a bit odd, albeit a bit more appropriate now that the story has diverted from max for at least one movie
Universe is fine

What an exceptionally odd hill to die on
It's called a universe if the world has its own mythology, and the plot is expanded beyond one story. With groups like the Vuvalini and the expansion into Furiosa, it is a universe.
Mad Max, is a character, not a universe. So if anything it would be the "Wasteland Universe". It's probably dead now anyway...
Semantics. A movie is coming out that is a spin-off of John Wick and is said to be a part of the "John Wick Universe".
There is already a series called "The Continental". But that's from the "World" of John Wick. Lets face it once you make it a "World" or "Universe" it gives license to stick whatever you like, thus diluting it until it dies a slow death.

Yep, I'm sick of that "cinematic universe" crap as well. That's the sort of thing 12 year old kids like...
Don’t trip on the edge, everyone
Life is the edge
Damn, what a sad life you have. Good luck with whatever you’re dealing with rn
Bro is 12 years old
It's funny you say that because you're acting like a kid right now
Retard
Hey Fella! You're a Turkey!!! You know that? #
Hope he gets more roles/finds even more success. Also that picture is raw I’m so jealous
He was so great in Furiosa. I loved watching him run around and then… oh well.
One of the very, very few things I disliked about Furiosa is that this guy didn’t actually get to activate the Bommy Knocker.
It’s still an anti war movie, you gotta keep it sad
I'm glad for this feller
They now ride eternal, shiny and chrome.
Witness him! *Ssssssssssss*
Thats very cool! I didn't know he was a kid.
I thought he was *so* cool in Furiosa. Had no idea about the actor’s backstory….Found out about it after. Quaden Bayles is cool AF, he had the coolest, most epic badass part in Furiosa.

War Pup!
Wait what? I must have missed out on this. Why was he bullied? For his role in Fury Road?
No, he got famous like 4-5 years ago after his mom posted a vid of him crying and saying he wanted to die because kids at his school were bullying him for being a little person
Oh damn. Well jokes on them then. He gets to be in of the best action movies ever made, make some money while doing it and get a close up view of Anya Taylor Joy. He's winning. Those bullies are losing at life every single day.
It was for internet points from a fabricated story.
Was this ever even proven true? I remember the conspiracies saying he was actually 18 and acting etc etc that were all debunked...
Not the kids fault though
How no? He was fully a part of it.
You sound like a boomer. It was a true story.
Do your homework 🫵🏿🤡
Mad respect to George Miller for always spotlighting the Aussie film community and taking the opportunity to provide opportunities to talent like Quaden. He’s a legend and something every person of influence should aim for in their position in terms of giving back to their roots.
And he has a dope name
His cabbages!
What a literal badass.
Oh man I didn’t even realize that was him!
Aw happy he got something good to happen I hope he goes places if not in acting then a good life.
The video where the boy was having a horrible day and the terrible mom was shoving a phone in his face?
Wish he didn’t die… we need more of him in future Mad Max movies. Loved his role tho of course !!
Major respect to George Miller for casting Quaden. This action shows his true character. Amazing person and great filmmaker. ✊
If he's got a good agent he could easily join the star wars/marvel universe. 😉
Man this kids role made my wife and I so sad lol The moment he realized he was about to RIP was heartbreaking
I will be honest. I thought he was a visual effect when I first saw him on the commercials.
Its crazy nobody actually knows who his so called bullies were
The bullies were fake
He had one job
I don’t have a selfie with Anna Taylor joy
That dude and his mom and scamming LIARS. Looks like their lying got them to the big screen. Bs. I remember the day it all started.
so many people cheering them on now, this guy got into a movie because he lied about being bullied to go viral. The whole thing is disgusting and so are all these sycophants praising the manipulation.
There’s videos of the little one screaming the N word proudly….
Thank you! I saw those TikToks but of course they were taken down
Good for him, but his part in the movie was a joke. Do I do it now? Not yet. Start the BommyKnocker! Now? NOOOOW! Dies. Wtf? Now shower me in downvotes! 🛀
Wasn't he found out to be THE BULLY? He was attacking and bullying people and people rightfully defended themselves against his BS?
There's a news article about how his family sued news corp over the fake story. They won 200k
Family claims they are telling the truth. Zero evidence to support them or deny them. Doesnt stack up even if the court agreed that the paper couldnt make the claim. The court did not find that the kid was bullied even though thats what the family reported. Courts are complicated.
Didn’t he turn out to be a grown man pretending to be a child or was that just a stupid rumour?
Rumor
That kid sucks. Drops the n word and says “he’s black.” Y’all gotta wake up
Other countries have a well... complicated... relationship with that word. Different than the US.
What's your source for this? FYI he is aboriginal. They call themselves black. N word, not so sure if that's accepted by them but there are definitely some very dark aboriginal Aussies.
If you aren’t black you’re getting checked for saying it. Aboriginal doesn’t count in anyone’s book
It does in Australia lmao.
Than Australia’s soft. If a kid who looked him went up to a black dude and said what’s up my nigg@ in the states it wouldn’t end well ma dude
Aboriginals are black you idiot, go look up images of them. If aboriginals aren’t allowed to say it then neither are mixed black people in the states.
He has blond hair in the famous “im gonna kill myself” video. Doesn’t take a genius to realize this kids maybe 1/4 ABORIGINAL, not AFRICAN
???? Black people cant be blonde? Are you fr? And you’re commenting on something you have no knowledge of. Aboriginals don’t discuss being “half” and so on because they have a really grim and horrible history involving their children being stolen and being forcibly bred out of existence by white people.

You’re probably somebody who thinks women can have penises aren’t you.
No clue why you decided to randomly be transphobic but just going to report and hope you get purged from this community.
Didn’t this dude literally get called out for being a massive asshole and bully in school? Edit: yeah it was this guy, dwarf or not fuck this guy
I thought it was the other way around? People were bullying and being an asshole to him?
That’s the narrative him and his mum were spinning, allegedly other students at his school were insistent out of all the bullies he was the worst
I really want to know what goes through your head. You think someone with dwarfism is going around bullying people? And you just take the word of other students that he was the bully? What makes their account more valid than his and his mother's?
What makes his and his mothers word more valid? What’s stopping him from being a bully? Are you discriminating against him because of his condition? Seems slightly hypocritical
Dwarves cant be bullies? Who crowned you king of the bigots?
How would you even bully someone as a dwarf?
Uh, by being a bully, you stupid shit?
By being a cunt? You tell me
No, this was an anti-story to try to make him look bad. People started saying all sorts of counter rumors, but none were proven to be true. So stop spreading them.
So is him being bullied lol, fuck him tell my man go eat greens
Now you are acting like a bully. His family sued the ones who spread that rumor and won.
Lol, so his mommy is rich, who cares, we’ll see in a few years when he’s down bad again won’t we?
So from that logic, he isn't a bully now, is he as he won a defamation case which is pretty hard to win. You are telling a victim to suck balls now.
I really couldn’t care, kids an asshole
Why is he an asshole?
Because he’s a bully? How do you know he’s not lol, his settlement was for claiming that he made up being bullied, there is no evidence that what others were saying about him was incorrect.
So there is no evidence that he is a bully either. So if he won, he didn't make being bullied right? So there is evidence that he was being bullied if he won the case. Why are you acting like he is a bully if there is no evidence on that front either. Just remain neutral unless you have solid proof that he is a bully.
And the video his mom made that went viral screams publicity stunt. I don’t buy it.
Didn't this guy pretend to be a bullied preschooler for sympathy points?
That ended up being debunked
Did it? Or did he and his mother just say it got debunked? Theres a big difference.
lol
Great response. Thought-provoking and really gets the point across. You fucking doughnut, you can't even prove the kid was bullied.
Nah. Trolls don’t get responses.
Movie was gay.
Your grandmother eats your mom out and holds a vibrator on her clit
You’re a 41 year old man from Milwaukee, huh?? Porn addicted bundle of sticks. 🫵🤣
41 and making the cringiest reddit comments imaginable. You're going to die alone and single.
36 and married. He enjoys cringe too, I'm not worried about it. ✌️
Cool fiction.
Why does that bother you?
Christ Almighty, cast because he was SUPPOSEDLY bullied. No wonder the movie bombed.
I remember that scam.
Cant believe this got downvoted. The people in here are absolute snowflakes. I remember the scam too.
Well that’s what happens when you start hanging out with new people and finding religion…
