Q: Who's more annoying the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi or the kids from Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome?
A: No doubt about it.... It's the kids from Thunderdome. Totally horrible. Which is interesting because the wolf kid from The Road Warrior was so awesome. Also, I don't care what anyone says the Ewoks were cool as tits, so suck my balls.
First of all the dumbass Thunderdome kids just kind of show up out of nowhere in the story halfway through the movie and are portrayed as being just too annoyingly precocious. Not to mention the fact that they even exist makes no sense. I mean they are never definitive of the timeline but I'm supposed to believe some plane full of babies crashed and then grew up learning to survive in some desert oasis without any adult supervision? Bullshit. Honestly the kids are like mostly ages 5-15 and the apocalypse has passed for some time.... the timeline just doesn't work out.
Plus the witch doctor kid sucks slippery asshole. The kids also add to a slapstick-y vibe that becomes more evident and begins to permeate the movie. I mean you go from Max's wife and baby getting run down by a motorcyle in 1.... to women getting raped and people being burned alive and crucified in 2..... to little kids hitting bad guys in the face with pots and pans accompanied with sound effects and comedic reactions. Ruined the whole vibe of the series.
That being said the Aviator's kid IS hilarious and awesome. It's amazing they could have such classic kid characters as him and the wolf boy in 2 and miss so incredibly bad with that vomit inducing cutesy pseudo "lost boys" tribe.
