What I love is how when Morsov does his badass “witness me” leap, fucking Slit throws a completely unnecessary boomstick into the Buzzard vehicle then has the balls to say “mediocre!” Dude is a grade A shitbag.
I don't think anyone has mentioned but in the original storyboard another war boy throws himself from the war rig. Morsov was in the car with Nux and fails at destroying the buzzard car. That's why Slit shouts "Mediocre"
And the ironic thing is that Morsov had a pretty cool death, while Slot got mashed between two semi trucks without actually doing anything and inadvertently causing the destruction of the People Eater's Limousine. That's not even a mediocre death. That's just a straight up bad death.
I know the meta reason is they cast a member of security after seeing him or something, but I like to believe that Ace never truly bought into the whole cult and worship of Immortan Joe, never drank the Kool-aid and was able to keep a level head and not be trying to get a glorious death constantly and was more cautious
My headcanon is that he's one of the soldiers accompanying Joe during his conquest of citadel who got turned into one of the first war boys so that's why he's more level headed.
I think that was most of the upper managment, tbh. you saw it with Jack and Furiosa. the sort of middle managers between the craziness of both the war boys and Joe, the People Eater, and the bullet farmer
My wacky theory is that Ace is the Warboy with the neck lump to the right of the one Smeg picks during the siege, and that the intervening 18 years have just been incredibly rough on him.
Yeah he's definitely a senior, he's the one doing drills with them at the start. "Kamakrazee War Boys!". I wonder if he's a Praetorian actually, they seem like high ranking members but not as much as Imperators.
My wife and I figured it was for a dire-straights water source, maybe the war boys were only allowed so much pure water and mothers milk, so the rest of the time it’s piss, baby
I assumed coolant for various systems on the rig. Water-cooled weaponry like machine guns (note that they had way more of those in Furiosa) can be cooled with piss in an emergency, and I doubt they'd waste actual water for that in Immortan Joe's army.
I've put alot of thought into this recently. I don't know his proper title (war crier maybe?) but its the one on top of the war rig with the periscope/telescope thing that just points in any general direction at random and shouts war!!!

Here he is on top of the rig while praetorian jack drives
Oh awesome haha. I can't wait to have furiosa at home, my partner and I saw it, I became obsessed and I dragged my bro to see it, then I dragged my housemate and her sister to come see it.
I've been rinsing all the other MM movies at home in the meantime while I wait for it to be available for free on streaming
Nope the one I'm talking about specifically is in Furiosa at the 1hr 5min mark. He's the one that identifies the Mortifiers and then directs the warboys to start warring by pointing and shouting "warrrr!" He also has a little pole he stands on to see things from further away.
Always feel bad for Ace, who was just trying to do a good job with the war rig and seemed very confused about Furiosa's behavior. Definitely trustworthy War Boy
Yeah he always seemed to genuinely love the rig and knew what he was doing and loved doing it…. I wonder if Furiosa liked him enough to not *kill him while going *through with her plan, which would have been sensible.
The comedic timing of wondering 'huh, what's that yellowy-orange liquid he's pouring on himself? Some kinda coolant?' before Jack yells 'PISS BOY!' is unbeatable

Mine too. Here's me playing him at Wasteland Weekend
I figure you have to have at least a couple saner, older guys doing boots on the ground type work to keep the ~~chaos gremlins~~ war boys at least sorta organized. As such Ace’s black forehead could denote his seniority while his white body paint indicates who he’s in charge of.
Slit got that KDot level hate, and he’s stylish (as much as a kamakrazee warboy can be) while doing it. He’s riding to Valhalla to McFeast with the heroes for all eternity.
That's me playing him at Wasteland Weekend
https://preview.redd.it/d9caerz9o9ad1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90c43cc20ffebdc2a90a04785e861c7fbe8b3dc6
A post-apocalyptic themed party in the Mojave desert of California. Held the last week of September, it draws over 4500 attendees each year. To attend you must be in costume, so anywhere you look at the event area, anyone in the background of a picture or video looks like they belong.
Imagine stepping into a Mad Max movie for 1 week with a ton of fun, interesting people who share the same passion of partying at the end of the world.
Yeah I answered the asks with illustrations, that blog was my biggest pride back in the day! Unfortunately I got busy with burnout and studies and it eventually fizzled out
I think the first war boy in Fury Road who gets shot with an arrow in his head, spray paints his mouth and yells “WITNESS ME!!” And throws himself at the vehicle to explode it is my favorite. It set the tone for how maniacal but loyal these war boys are and was the first glimpse of what we’re dealing with for the rest of the movie
Nope, John Iles. He was Security on the set of Fury Road, and the Director thought he'd make a good warboy leader for the War Rig.
In between shooting scenes, he'd go back to patrolling the set, still in costume.
Loved Ace in the movie. I don't know what it is about him. His face is great, his mannerisms, the way he talks. Just everything about him puts me more into this world than any of the others.
Love Ace and Nux, and absolutely love Slit for just being a certified professional hater
What I love is how when Morsov does his badass “witness me” leap, fucking Slit throws a completely unnecessary boomstick into the Buzzard vehicle then has the balls to say “mediocre!” Dude is a grade A shitbag.
He’s committed to the job of being a professional hater
He promoted himself!!
“If you can’t stand up, you can’t do war!”
“If you can’t stand up, you can’t do hating!”
Slit would be right at home at the Player Hater's Ball.

I don't think anyone has mentioned but in the original storyboard another war boy throws himself from the war rig. Morsov was in the car with Nux and fails at destroying the buzzard car. That's why Slit shouts "Mediocre"
Yeah originally Morsov was the one who was too weak to fight, not Nux
The same actor plays Scrotus as Slit
And the ironic thing is that Morsov had a pretty cool death, while Slot got mashed between two semi trucks without actually doing anything and inadvertently causing the destruction of the People Eater's Limousine. That's not even a mediocre death. That's just a straight up bad death.
Straight up caused the destruction of the most important (for practical purposes) vehicle in the armada, single-handedly
He's so petty, I love him <3
Yeah but he added a bunch to the movie, him riding on the back screaming “fang it” as they drive into the sandstorm is amazing
Was the boomstick meant to steal Morsov’s kill?
I guess so
Man, you guys make me realize I missed a lot of stuff and need to watch a few more times.
“He was scanning the horizon!”
“He was looking at your blood bag!”
I quote this more than I should.
The war boys are all great tbh
>[I] absolutely love Slit. -u/hereforalottedtime
This guy seems a little long in the tooth for someone seeking Valhalla.
He’s a war man.
^^cough ^^cough “War *man*!”

Would have been pretty awkward if Smeg pointed at Ace when Dementus rolled up on the Citadel
Kinda like Praetorian Jack in that he's not obviously insane and has some degree of logic & self preservation.
Yep
I like the fact you can get to a ripe old age as a war boy
Be wary of old men in a profession where men die young.
No Country for War Men
He's actually only 21. Life in the Wasteland is *rough*.
![gif](giphy|l2JdU1Ld32ZWRQRqM)
My wacky theory is that Ace is the Warboy with the neck lump to the right of the one Smeg picks during the siege, and that the intervening 18 years have just been incredibly rough on him.
That's Nux
The lump is on the wrong side for it to be Nux and he'd be too young anyway.
He was not awaited yet
Doesn’t Nux call him their slang for mechanic? He yells at him to get out of the way when Nux wants to shoot Furiosa
no he says "Crew! Get out of the way"
Ya that was it! It makes me wonder if this guy was less of a war boy and more of a grease monkey
More like the Sergeant of the War Rig. Taking orders from Furiosa and leading the Warboys in defensive tactics
Yeah he's definitely a senior, he's the one doing drills with them at the start. "Kamakrazee War Boys!". I wonder if he's a Praetorian actually, they seem like high ranking members but not as much as Imperators.
Makes sense
Yeah he’s got senior NCO vibes to me. If warboys wore tops he’d have sergeant major chevrons for sure
as the kid of an E9 ---- yes. lmao
A real black thumb
When you're such a good war boy that Death keeps it's distance.
Pissboy, he was so kind in giving that rig what it craved
He was Tf2 Sniper's grandkid
Pissin’s a good job, m8
Piss. The thirst mutilator. It's got what war rigs crave.
It's got electrolytes
What exactly was the piss boy for? I know he was needed for the radiator but was he kind of like the rigs fireman? He had a tank of piss on his back.
My wife and I figured it was for a dire-straights water source, maybe the war boys were only allowed so much pure water and mothers milk, so the rest of the time it’s piss, baby
I assumed coolant for various systems on the rig. Water-cooled weaponry like machine guns (note that they had way more of those in Furiosa) can be cooled with piss in an emergency, and I doubt they'd waste actual water for that in Immortan Joe's army.
Nux I LIVE I DIE I LIVE AGAIN
Well he tried
Mediocre.
Jon iles is like 60 in that pic. Dude is a fucking animal.
Piss Boy!!
I've put alot of thought into this recently. I don't know his proper title (war crier maybe?) but its the one on top of the war rig with the periscope/telescope thing that just points in any general direction at random and shouts war!!!
From fury road?

this would highkey be my fave job as a warboy!I’m small and love to climb, and the idea of just getting to yell out when you see stuff is so fun lol
Always feel bad for Ace, who was just trying to do a good job with the war rig and seemed very confused about Furiosa's behavior. Definitely trustworthy War Boy
Yeah he always seemed to genuinely love the rig and knew what he was doing and loved doing it…. I wonder if Furiosa liked him enough to not *kill him while going *through with her plan, which would have been sensible.

Morsov
MEDIOCRE MORSOV!
underrated warboy
WITNESS!
Nux is special but also.... Do the bommy knocker. And Lone War Boy for pure comedic relief.
I love to hate slit. The one in Fury Road that just shouts "WAAAAAR" makes me laugh every time
Love his war cry and the smash cut to skull on the front of the war rig.
Pissboy :)
"OH! What a day, WHAT A LOVELY DAY!"
Not gonna lie, I'm disappointed we didn't get Ace as a sidekick in the last act of Furiosa.
Nux
The Ace is my dude 🙌 I love Nux, though. I named my car after him 😂
https://preview.redd.it/xk18b6pw99ad1.jpeg?width=1225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3984adea753f5cb8515878bf26b1878f61f3f30a Mine too. Here's me playing him at Wasteland Weekend
Yooo, what! You look incredible!! 🙌🙌 WITNESS!
Bommyknocker warboy and that one that got chosen by Smeg
Didn't realize until third viewing that he had a metal chain embedded along his spine
With his head covered in black grease like Furiosa and the Praetorians, I figured he was a Paetorian as well.
I figure you have to have at least a couple saner, older guys doing boots on the ground type work to keep the ~~chaos gremlins~~ war boys at least sorta organized. As such Ace’s black forehead could denote his seniority while his white body paint indicates who he’s in charge of.
I’m not sure that’s a praetorian thing, don’t we see Nux do it too?
Not his whole head from the eyes up like those others.
![gif](giphy|XXo6LQ3Ujyy2s|downsized) The Doof Warrior
Loved the Conan O’Brien skit as him.
Just watched it after reading your comment. It’s hilarious.
It's always this guy.
Morsov. He's the perfect introduction to the concept of Witnessing.
I just want the glee he had a few secs before he got shot
What have you done?
Al Bundy's best role ever!! ![gif](giphy|8qtXJyuvDaCK7Vp72P)
funfact: the actor is a blackbelt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Ace. A warboy living to old age is a certified gigachad
https://preview.redd.it/kgp8020cd9ad1.png?width=1767&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a1867088b877ef0ace520afa992f6ccb12497eb Rip lil bro💔
Thats "War Pup".
It has to be Pissboy. He is awaited in Valhalla. He was so excited and joyfull to suicide bomb himself.
Nux of course. But I love Morsov’s witness scene. Slit is a hater & he cracks me up
Slit got that KDot level hate, and he’s stylish (as much as a kamakrazee warboy can be) while doing it. He’s riding to Valhalla to McFeast with the heroes for all eternity.
I doubt it, he doesn't display the noble Warboy virtues, he's an attempted killthief and a tryhard.
What's his name?
Ace.

What is Wasteland Weekend? I know I could just look it up, but you seem really passionate about it, and would rather learn about it from you.
A post-apocalyptic themed party in the Mojave desert of California. Held the last week of September, it draws over 4500 attendees each year. To attend you must be in costume, so anywhere you look at the event area, anyone in the background of a picture or video looks like they belong.

Slit will always have a special place in my heart,I had an AskSlit askblog a couple of years ago.
Was that the one that would do little illustrations with? That blog was glorious
Yeah I answered the asks with illustrations, that blog was my biggest pride back in the day! Unfortunately I got busy with burnout and studies and it eventually fizzled out
Thanks for the work you did on it. Just sent one of your comics to my husband the other day. Burnout is real, take care
Nux was cool Just saw Furiosa yesterday, at last and it was amazing!!
Slitnuxpiss. And the war boy played by Daniel Webber
Are you doing "Wasteland Fuck/Marry/Kill"?
Fuck and kill all marry none
“Today we’re haulin Aqua Cola!”
Tie: Larry & Barry
Piss boy from furiosa
Scrooloose! I see no mention of him but he’s clearly a warboy. Of course, he wouldn’t tell you that.
I understood that reference!
"WITNESS ME!!!"
WITNESS!!!
What’s copous quantities?
Slit easily. When he's on the hood of Max's car being an absolute psycho is the best.
That guy was fun. Nux is great too
Ace was a nice guy. He will be missed.

Yes!!!
"What've you done?!"
Love Nux but gotta say Ace. He was a perfect war boy to start us off with.
I’d go to war with Ace any day. Slit is a A5 grade Blue Falcon.
Ka-Kaw!
The little one played by Jaylen Bayles. Loved his innocence 🖤
I think the first war boy in Fury Road who gets shot with an arrow in his head, spray paints his mouth and yells “WITNESS ME!!” And throws himself at the vehicle to explode it is my favorite. It set the tone for how maniacal but loyal these war boys are and was the first glimpse of what we’re dealing with for the rest of the movie
![gif](giphy|L4Bv2YQFwZMogkyvq1|downsized) The gay one
Ace for the win.
"Drink this, holy war rig! Drink this piss!"
I just wanna know how that one warboy got the dart in his head...
Is this Daniel Craig?
Nope, John Iles. He was Security on the set of Fury Road, and the Director thought he'd make a good warboy leader for the War Rig. In between shooting scenes, he'd go back to patrolling the set, still in costume.
My GOAT Nux
Nux
Slit ❤️❤️❤️
Ace my loyal old War Boi...you didn't deserve what happened to ya, you were just trying to be loyal
Slit, he just exudes mischievous sadism
The Ace! Certified badass
Animal Mother
That feral kid with the metal boomerang in Road Warrior
https://preview.redd.it/6xyqbch0s8ad1.jpeg?width=1560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd2114884de35cdd2393cdb1ef25de8668d2ad73
Nux
That dude looks like he's wearing a skin-suit.
Ace and Nux hands down
Was boy number 268
Nux cause he just wanted to have a lovely day
Nux and the one who thought he was in Valhalla
All of them
Nux
Was it just me, or was he in Furiosa too? Yellow one at the Bullet Farm who I think first said the load was done.
Pretty much all of them. If I had to choose only one, probably Slit I may have a thing for assholes
The warcrier
![gif](giphy|kSTaZCfZXtvri)
Jeff he was loving bought me dinner and everything a caring soul
Toss-up between Nux and War Pup.
What makes me a good Demoman?
Loved Ace in the movie. I don't know what it is about him. His face is great, his mannerisms, the way he talks. Just everything about him puts me more into this world than any of the others.
Love The Ace! Good team leader and great goggles
The mighty Nux. May he ride eternal shiny and chrome on the highways of valhalla.
Piss Boy.
The little one!
The war boy played by Quaden Bayles who is a little person. He's not violent at all so he'll be the safest one to be around.
https://preview.redd.it/dehage46tbad1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ac1331a5ff8986537a27a2148fb84faa1fa93d5
Nux it's the best he's arch, development and an awesome actor for his hole.
Can I say Chumbucket ? I love how freaky he is
Bomnyknocker little guy from Furiosa. Poor little dude just wanted to help.
Morsov. Tough SOB, Slit a glory stealer tryna say he’s mediocre after Slit just tried to steal his kill
The warboy who grabs morsov off the bike by swinging on the crane. He had like half a second and snatched a fellow from a mediocre death.
That's no war boy that's a war man
![gif](giphy|XXo6LQ3Ujyy2s|downsized) This guy pumps me up every single time.
scab from the game
Doof followed by War Pup
I call that guy in the pic the Expo
GUITAR DUDE
Ace is cool, but war boy Nux, (the one who drove the 5 window coupe) is my favorite. Best lines in the entire movie delivered by him.
