The 3rd film was subtitled "for life" explicitly because it was intended to close the series. Everyone involved thought the franchise was done. Then it unexpectedly overperformed and yet another sequel was dutifully greenlit.. No wonder the whole thing seems lifeless, this isn't a movie anyone really is passionate to make or story someone is dieing to tell, just a commercial product that seems a safe bet. It kills me that this is cleaning up while Furiosa is dieing.

It was also called Bad Boys for Life because there is a Puff Daddy song of the same name that I'm sure was played in the film itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Boy_for_Life

Puff Daddy's tentacles extended everywhere, even this silly film franchise.
