Okay, maybe not EVERYONE, but at least two characters from Zack Snyder‘s “Rebel Moon” look suspiciously like Furiosa from “Mad Max: Fury Road.” I mean judge for yourself-

Compare the above costumes by Stephany Portnoy Potter to Charlize Theron‘s iconic Imperator Furiosa costume as designed by Oscar winning costumer Jenny Beavan.

Like…did someone not point this out to Snyder and co?
Obviously this comparison isn’t the entire swath of news from the film, as this morning, Vanity Fair published a first look piece featuring several more images from the Netflix feature.

The feature hits Netflix December 22nd, 2023. We’ll let you know what we hear about a possible trailer.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
