1 is basically a product of it's time. The story is there but it's very early 80s. I think Road Warrior gets more love just because it's when we really get to see Miller's vision of the wasteland. I'd like to see these both remade with the love of Fury Road and Furiosa but it will never happen.
I think Thunderdome is ok. It used to be my favorite but after doing a huge deep dive, I can see where people are coming from. You get this great aesthetic with Bartertown, then they had to add kids to the mix. I read that there was a push in the mid and late 80s to add more kid stuff to movies and that this is probably why. I'd like to see a soft reboot of Thunderdome though.
Furiosa(the movie) is basically the character's coming of age story. If you like that idea and also the same set pieces and more of Fury Road you'll dig it. I have a hard time deciding which I like more but also they work well as essentiall6 one long movie.
