| “ | Once again, we send off my War Rig to bring back petrol from Gas Town and bullets from the Bullet Farm. Once again, I salute my Imperator Furiosa, and I salute my half-life War Boys, who will ride with me eternal on the highways of Valhalla. I am your redeemer! It is by my hand that you will rise from the ashes of this world! | „ |
| ~ Immortan Joe, in his address to the wasteland. |
Colonel Joseph Moore, better known as the Immortan Joe, is the main antagonist of the 2015 post-apocalyptic action film Mad Max: Fury Road, the fourth installment of the Mad Max film series, and the overarching antagonist of its 2024 spin-off prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
He is the tyrannical and manipulative ruler of the Cult of the V8 who rules the wasteland. He is determined to ensure that his kingdom remains intact long after his death, and to that end, he keeps a harem of wives captive, hoping to produce a viable heir through their repeated rape. When his wives are freed by Joe's Imperator Furiosa, Joe and the War Boys set out to recapture them.
He was portrayed by the late Hugh Keays-Byrne. In Furiosa, he is portrayed by Lachy Hulme.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
In General/Background[]
- Even though he was originally praised as a hero from the Water Wars, his redeeming qualities were completely shredded when he led his gang to slaughter the leaders of other gangs and abduct women for his own, including children.
- He took over the Wasteland as he and his men discovered the aquifer (later known as The Citadel) with the largest water supply in it within the general area.
- Oppresses the population of the Wasteland, wasting minimal amounts of water and provoking them into fighting for it.
- Molded and indoctrinated many young boys and men into his fanatical cultists and soldiers known as the "War Boys," manipulating them into believing they were to continue their heinous deeds to reach Valhalla, a paradise for them to be with their previous brethren (which is nothing else but a lie).
- He constantly raped his wives to produce a healthy heir to take his place, and he would throw one of them aside after a third failed attempt. He would even abuse them to ensure they knew their place.
- Constantly used other women for "Mother's Milk," never-ending lactation with no other purpose in their lives. While he gives a chug of Mother's Milk to his son, this is only for testing the substance to make sure it isn't poisonous or harmful to his body.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga[]
- Had one of his War Boys dive off the balcony, killing himself as a result, to demonstrate his loyalty in front of Warlord Dementus and his Biker Horde.
- Expressed no concern over the previous Gastown ruler when Dementus pierced his head to death accidentally when Rictus attacked him.
- He only negotiated with Dementus becoming the new ruler of Gastown and handing him supplies in exchange of having a young Furiosa groomed to be one of his wives when she's older.
- When informed of Dementus' unruly situation in Gastown, he only had the pragmatic approach of shutting down all systems and carry off supplies for the time being to preserve Gastown. Thus, he is indifferent to the people who suffered under Dementus' tyranny and recklessness.
- Engaged in the 40-Day Wasteland War with Dementus, having his son Scabrous Scrotus led his War Boys into slaughtering hundreds of the former's Biker Horde. To the point corpses are left stranded on the ground while his men pillaged the remains of their valuables and vehicle parts.
Mad Max: Fury Road[]
- Though he was upset by his wives running off with Furiosa, this wasn't out of any genuine concern since he considered them his property. He saw it as theft and nothing else.
- On another note, Joe was seen in distress about Splendid Angharad being killed by being run over through his wheels, along with him turning to avoid killing her. However, he was only mad that his future heir was in possible danger and had absolutely no care for his wife.
- While he praised Nux and promised to lead him to Valhalla if he brought back his wives, the "praise" was just a subtle order for him to kill Furiosa, with Joe likely taking all the credit from the other War Boys. As well as this, the moment Nux fails to do so, he dismisses him as "mediocre" and continues his pursuit.
- He doesn't truly care about any of his people and views them as his tools.
Trivia[]
- Immortan Joe, alongside his son Scabrous Scrotus, are the only Mad Max villains to be Pure Evil.
