      The 2nd in command did betray him.
      His men are the ones that attack the war rig when furiosa wasnt the 2nd pretorian yet.
      And the new son of Joe is the main antagonist of the video game.
      He dies on that game by Mas hands.

    The reason why Furiosa doesn't just take off sooner is because the War Rig isn't just sitting on the ground waiting to be driven at any time. They make it clear that all of the vehicles are pulled up into the Citadel and only lowered to the ground when they are needed. It takes several people to operate the wheel that raises and lowers the platform, and the War Rig is massive.
    Additionally, she needed the extra tanker of gas to trade with the bikers in exchange for safe passage through the canyon and for them to blow up the passage so they can't be followed. If Immortan Joe was able to follow them to the Green Place, it would have been raided.
    She also needed time to make sure that Immortan Joe completely trusted her so she could pull it off. She learned in Furiosa that she's better off biding her time, learning the rules of road war, making deals, and creating allegiances, before taking off. She also learned how important it was to keep the secret of the Green Place from outsiders, even her own mother wouldn't give up the information despite being tortured.
    So it all makes perfect sense why she waited and did things the way she did.

Like she made her whole life about saving these 5 women rather than the ones being milked etc. Very odd I thought she'd at least be mothered by a couple or something... but no she just sort of decides these 5 people who live in the most luxury in the whole wastes deserve even more luxury... whilst a whole citadel festers and suffers around her.

    There is actually an incredible amount of world building and attention to detail in these films. Like how the different towns communicate with each other. You can see them using mirrors to shine light at each other. They also use flares to send messages.
    Maggots are used to clean wounds since they eat gangrenous flesh while leaving healthy flesh alone, and secrete a chemical that induces blood clotting and prevents wounds from bleeding out. They're also a good source of protein. It's safer to eat maggots living off of corpses than the corpses. George Miller was a doctor so he probably thought about that.
    The guy who calls Dementus scum for killing his men was the Octoboss so he does betray Dementus and goes rogue.
    Immortan Joe's other son Scrotus is the villain in the Mad Max game.

      In the first one, the wars that killed the world only just began; and while gangs were picking the world apart there was still living plants, oceans, and a society. The second movie is after many people were forced to live without a government, but they still existed at least nominally. By the third movie, all cities and towns were ruined, with only settlements like Gastown, Bartertown, the Bullet Farm, and Citadel still standing.

    About the blood bags: Mad Max is a post apocalyptic setting, and as such radiation is a concern. You see Nux talking about the two lumps he has in his neck as well.

    You are misunderstanding the sand storm. Nothing that happens in that scene is as it seems. We are seeing it from Nux's perspective as he is getting adrenaline from Max's blood as well as having sprayed a drug into his mouth that makes the Warboys berserk.
    Also, the men on stilts are the men that have been banished from the female society where Furiosa grew up. That used to be the Green Place but the water became irradiated.
    Furiosa didn't give any kind of password to the woman in the tower. She merely told them who she is and who her mother was.

Secondly, it's a metaphor for the green place. A single plant that is their last hope that they cling on and get themselves out of danger. Lastly, what's wrong with pushing the war rig?

A theory is he speaks in pidgin to trick others into thinking he wouldn't be able to explain how the engineering works, which gave him an added layer of security.
    Also, the Gyro Captain from Road Warrior and Jedediah from Thunderdome are two separate people played by the same actor, same as how Hugh Keays-Byrne plays Toecutter and Immortan Joe, and how Josh Helman plays Slit in Fury Road and Sabrous Scrotus in Furiosa.

After Dementus Death (as stated in the game lore) Scrotus took over the Gastown-Activities. And I guess after Max killing him at the end of the game, Immortan gave the authority over Gastown to his second in Command "The People Eater"... because lets be real...

    Thunderdome had some behind the scenes issues. George Miller almost didn't direct the film since his friend and co-creator of Mad Max died. George recommended someone else to direct the film. George did end up directing part of the film but he was a lot less involved. The studio had more control, that's why Thunderdome was PG-13 and a lot more kid friendly. The studio wanted to appeal to a broader audience.

    Fun Fact: Bruce Spence actually isn't playing the same character in The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome. They just for some reason decided to have two separate characters that both are pilots played by him.
