I love it when the story people just let shit happen off screen so the audience can fill in the blanks themselves. Like how eventually Max's car is gone and he's leading a camel. No need for 20 seconds of expository dialogue explaining where the iconic car went. Shit's just fucked.
I'm nobody important but I've been in some story meetings on some pretty big IP's where the director didn't respect the audience. Or rather, it's more accurate to say the attitude was, "we're spending so much money we can't afford for half the audience to not get something." Fuck that. It's cowardice. The product ends up being so bland just so it's palatable for everyone.
It's like chipping all the hard edges off a sculpture so nobody gets cut. Cool, cool. Now our sculpture is a big lozenge that looks like nothing.
