Thread 213873137

The tone of the final scene seems to suggest that the boy found refuge and love in the family that adopt him after his father dies on the beach. But i don't know... I think hobo Guy Pearce might have gone all Hannibal Lecter on the boy.

they cooked and ate the poor lad sadly. the man and his dog were hunting them throughout the whole movie if you pay attention

they spit roasted him

>>213873205

That's right. You can see them in the background in those scenes in the woods.

>>213873260
what the fuck, can you really?

>>213873405

Nah, I'm just pulling your leg.

>>213873430
well, you're definitely getting cooked and eaten first bitch

>>213873137 (OP)
he died because the whole fucking world was dead. maybe he got it on with the cunny first.

>>213873464

Try the boy's rump first.

>>213873137 (OP)
Considering they were cannibals (dad had missing fingers) and they were using the dog to track victims... his prospects were not good.

>>213873137 (OP)
much better to just put a bullet in your head in this scenario

Are the cellar dwellars the worst fate in cinematic history?

>>213873543
>Considering they were cannibals (dad had missing fingers)
what's the relevance of the fingers?

>>213873205
they were following them, I think they said as much. Why would they follow them unless to hunt? Of course he could've just eaten the kid there and then and didn't

>>213873543
>They're cannibals because guy is missing fingers
How does that work? They snack on their own fingers because that's what cannibals do?

>>213873137 (OP)
Raped then eaten. Thats what happens in the book.
Pretty fucked up

>>213873918
>>213873947
He fed his fingers to his kid at some point when they were starving

>>213873137 (OP)
Cormeme is such a shitty author, holy shit. Fuck The Choad and fuck Chud Meridian.

>>213873137 (OP)
Raped and then eaten, if we're going to be totally honest.

When I watched the movie, I didn't really have much thoughts about something bad happening to the boy. But it also didn't leave me with the thought that from now on good things will happen to him. The movie isn't very hopeful and ends not very hopeful either. Nothing changed. It's honestly kinda boring.

>>213874038
If they were that hungry how did the dog survive?

>>213874213
They need it to track people. It's essential.

>>213873947
I suppose in a starved world fingers can become a commodity. You have 10 of them and only really need the thumbs to handle most things.

>>213874235
So if it was the apocalypse all i would have to do to survive is just eat myself?

>>213874235
That manga really sucked.

He can probably lead the family back to that bunker of supplies. They could last a few years there with careful rationing, maybe rebuild and reinhabit the house. The dust should start to settle, once sunlight levels increase the plants might begin to return. They could make it through.

>>213874333
the sun won't return for decades, it's over unless you are in a government bunker with food for half a century

also, that house is exposed, they need to take out the supplies and hunker down in a remote place

>>213874263
If you think help is coming/you almost made it and just need to go on a bit longer, yeah why not. Long term of course no.
>>213874273
Yep I liked it nosedived so quick, too bad because I liked the setting.

>>213874393
thebut it nosedived*

>>213873953
Liar, that doesn't happen at all.

>>213874378
Outside projections for worldwide nuclear winter are 15-20 years. And they're 10-15 years into it, the boy's probably older than he seems since he's been starving his whole life.

>>213874460
it's either a supervolcano or a comet, it will last centuries, there is no hope, plants are dead, even if the weather gets better there is no vegetation left

>they can go to that seed vault in scandinavia

yeah yeah and pigs could fly, be realistic, no one is gonna go to fucking norway or whatever shithole

>>213873791

Could be neck and neck with falling captive to the troglodytes from "Bone Tomahawk".

>>213874055

He is sadistically bleak.

>>213874510
Many seeds can survive virtually for eternity, that's kind of like their purpose, as soon as the conditions are ok they will sprout.

>>213873137 (OP)
Likely guy Pierce's character is willing to adopt the boy into his family as a way to get the boy and his daughter to emotionally bond so that when he's dead someone will be there to protect his daughter, an adult male would probably just end up raping and killing her but if he can get the boy to bond with her while they are both still young her chances of survival increases, probably why he spent time spying on them cause he was trying to figure out if the kid was a little psycho or not and he could tell viggos character wasn't gonna last much longer

>>213874510
Vegetation has survived comets and super volcanos before

>>213873567
>Have to regress to pretty much how humanity has lived for the vast majority of its existence, nomadic hunting and gathering
>NOOOO I'M GONAA KILL MYSELF
Your ancestors are rolling in their grave.

>inb4 but muh cannibalism muh rape
Both have always been a part of human history, former in desperate times, latter was pretty much the default reporductive strategy before society.
>inb4 muh dead plants and animals
They found a whole fucking cellar of canned food. They found a working vending machine with cola still inside. The rules of hunting and gathering may have changed, but it's still hunting and gathering at its core. What we literally evolved for. To assume it's the end of the entire world because the small chunk of the world you happen to be in is low on resources right now is beyond silly.

If the Road happened, I'd be eating dumb pussy bitches like you.

>>213873137 (OP)
i think the point was there was more liveable places down south

>>213873918
>what's the relevance of the fingers?
People who stole got their thumbs cut off. Just like the black dude who stole their cart at the beach. It has nothing to do with cannibalism.

>>213873791
*in literary history. the road is a book story.

>>213874263
Cutting off parts of yourself wastes more than it feeds you so no, you shouldn't.

>>213876641
you can feed them to someone smaller liek your child

>>213874273
Not everything sucked, just the weird story and pacing.
Characters were great, setting was great, art was great.

>>213873791
Anyone who goes to hell or suffers some other fate eternally has it infinitely worse.

>>213874846
>smokes pipe

>>213878149
Am I wrong though?

>>213873567
Imagine not having the will to live kek

>>213874727
>>213874861
Midwits, he's talking about their ability to farm.

>>213879462
Volcanic soil is great for farming, once the dust clears up them tomatoes will go gang busters

>>213879513
>once the dust clears up
I don't get why you're making this out to be a trivial point. It won't clear for decades.

>>213879542
Life finds a way anon, I once had plants growing out of terracotta pot full of cigarette butts

>>213879617
What does that have to do with Roadworld?

>>213873567
let's not talk about real life

>>213873205
This is the most likely scenario. Live in post apocalyptic world where there is nothing to hunt, cant grow food. Only hope is finding some rations. Have a wife and kids to soemhow feed already.....hey lets add an additional mouth to feed to the gang to take away more food from my family....

>>213881565
Nah it's this >>213874846 he knows that chances are within 10 years both him and his wife will be dead, he needs someone who can look after his daughter and keep her alive when he's gone

>>213881565
>This is the most likely scenario.
You got filtered. Whole point was showing the kid how to spot good guys and to help him develop hope and the family were good guys. The movie ends on a slightly positive note - the world is still crap but there are still some good people

Goddamn why is every /tv/ thread so fucking shitty? I know your trolling but it's literally undescernable from 90% or the retardation that gets posted here without irony. You even have retards itt who don't get the joke and are trying to hard with shit like "Cormeme". This place is like SPED /b/

>>213873137 (OP)
in the book he lives with the family and plays on the swingset, the guy would've just taken him if he wanted to eat him, not talked to him like he did. the story ends on a promising note with hope for the future, survival and doing what's right and to keep going until something good happens is what the story's about

>>213873137 (OP)
The premise of the book and movie is entirely stupid. No one remembers how to boil water to produce steam?

>>213882175
wat

>>213873137 (OP)
Probably turned to sex slave or just a minced meatball.

The boy knows what he heard in the shelter,he heard a dog and in the end he find the dog and the people who's followed them.

>>213875452
What happened to that kneegrow? Even in the book I didn't get it.

>>213882128
>in the book he lives with the family and plays on the swingset
Must have been the extended version or the made up one

>>213873567
Not wanting to become a badass raider or road warrior.

When the cataclysm hits,I gonna find you and your family first.

>>213873791
Imagine sitting on your ass with a few dozen fellas and waiting you inevitably end.

They deserved the cattle fate.

In the book he impregnates the dog then he and the family survive living off the meat of the hybrid abominations

>>213873137 (OP)
He carries the fire dumbass

>>213883215
The fire what that "family" use to roast him.

>>213883043
What's to get? It's never explicitly said what happens. When they go back he's not there anymore so use your imagination.

>>213883393
I assumed he offed himself by going into the water.

Am I being trolled? Is this a troll thread format I'm unfamiliar with? What the fuck

>>213883533
Ask grok.
Now fuck off.

Why didn't they all feast on the dead dad at the end? Was it because he had a contagious disease?

>>213883714
Precisely because they weren't cannibals.

>>213873137 (OP)
those people had a lot of advantage over the boy, if they were evil cannibals they wouldn't need to act kind in order to trick him

>>213884128
You be kind to a kid. Especially if that kid has a gun with bullets.

>>213884128
They don't want to carry his dead ass back to their camp. Walking meat is better.
