Mad Max: Fury Road's Nux with the War Boys behind him.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Mad Max: Fury Road is an insanely wild ride from start to finish with no shortage of epic visuals, intense action, and fascinating concepts that offers full immersion for fans in every aspect of the experience - including the V8 cult of the War Boys, and their belief in ‘Valhalla’.
The legend of Immortan Joe spread across the wasteland, as every desperate person able to make the trek to the Citadel revered him as their god. Once half-life mutants called War Boys became Joe’s personal army, the legend had been accepted as absolute truth. Immortan Joe was their god, and only he could permit them through the gates of Valhalla.
In Norse mythology, it was believed that those who died on the battlefield would enter the hall of Valhalla, where they would feast and drink until the time came when they would fight with Odin himself against the Jötunn. Of course, there are many renditions of what Valhalla is like across human history, though the consensus is that one had to die a glorious death in battle before earning a spot in a great hall where they’d await more battles alongside their gods.
The Promise of Valhalla & the Belief That Immortan Joe was a God was As Vital as Water The importance of ‘Valhalla’ in Mad Max: Fury Road isn’t the actual mythology of it , but what it’s used for. Immortan Joe became a legend after he won a seemingly impossible battle against the already-established Citadel, and that legend quickly became myth, and that myth lifted the man up as a god - and Joe just ran with it.
